Benefits of this project to the City include: Jump-starting the upgrade of our electric utility, on a faster time scale thanCPAU alone would EVER be able to accomplish on its own Tesla will voluntarily contribute approximately half the funds required forthis upgrade, a rare opportunity/gift. Tesla will contribute personnel to help manage and implement this project,freeing up precious CPAU headcount for other important projects. As you well know, CPAU has a longstanding list of open positions, whichhave proven extremely difficult to fill, this proposal will enable the utility to make additional progress with currentstaff. Provide important infrastructure that will ensure that Tesla continues tomaintain an signficant presence in Palo Alto. Tesla’s energy and vehicle products are among the world’s best, and are animportant enabler/supplier to the City’s S/CAP goals: As of August 2023, the Tesla Model Y, became the top-selling car globallyacross over 160 countries. The Tesla Powerwall Energy Storage System (ESS) is a market leaderTesla solar panels are very competitive and their solar roof tiles are extremely innovative and vastly esthetically superior to conventional PVpanels. Again, I ask that you support and approve this agreement.

Learn why this isimportant CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. To Palo Alto City Council: I write regarding the Palo Alto Tree Ordinance, which I believe is fatally flawed because itsimultaneously puts residents at risk, fails to achieve its stated goals, and disincentives the very actions it purports to encourage. 1. The Palo Alto Tree Ordinance is the wrong rule for the wrong problem. To start with, giant trees near homes are a risk. Even the best arborists can’t accurately predict what trees will come down or when. I had two independent certified arborists - both recommended by Canopy - come look at the Douglas Fir in my backyard. Both said it looked healthy and strong. But less than six months later, it crashed into my home, right above where I sat with my toddler, piercing the roof on both stories, and punching through the ceiling over our heads. https://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2023/04/14/after-wild- weather-season-residents-raise-alarms-about-falling-trees What gives my neighbors the right to prevent me from protecting my family from such a large and unknowable risk? For the aesthetic? For the carbon capture? I wanted to replace one tree with a different tree - a new tree that would provide shade all year but not tower 80 feet up, nor drip sticky sap all over our yard where my children play. I planned to replace it with a magnolia, which would have checked both the aesthetic and carbon capture boxes. But the city wouldn’t allow it under the new tree ordinance. And so instead of contributing to a beautiful canopy that was more in line with the risks I wanted to assume and the way my family wanted to use our yard, I have spent the past 9 months managing the repairs to my home, trying to get permit approvals through the city, and findingworkers to repair the damage. These “unusual” storms are going to become more common. Climate change will make sure of that. Insurers are pulling out of California because they know that big storms bringing big damages are going to become the new normal. While no one wants all large trees to be removed, residents need flexibility to determine for themselves which risks they want to assume, allowing homeowners to steward their own property. The regulation’s purported purpose is to ensure that Palo Alto has a thriving and growing canopy that stores carbon. Notably, the ordinance was unnecessary from its inception. There is no systematic evidence, nor has any ever been presented, that there is an epidemic of removals of mature trees in our town. At best, there has been a series of anecdotes. What we do know is that our canopy is now larger than it was in the 1950s. So why do we need to impose a confusing, burdensome, and expensive process on our residents? Any ordinance adopted by this city must countenance both the norms and the exceptions: most giant trees are not at risk of removal by homeowners, but all trees will eventually fall, and some will cause catastrophic damage when they do. This ordinance, both as currently written and with the proposed staff revisions, locks in disincentives to homeowners while simultaneously requiring us to assume unquantifiable risks of trees falling. Nothing in the ordinance encourages planting new trees. It is all about penalties for removal, and requirements for maintenance. Trees *will* eventually come down. Homeowners should have the right to remove them safely when they want to, provided they take reasonable steps to replace the loss to the canopy. The city should focus on ensuring that those reasonable steps are taken rather than preventing safe removal of unwanted trees. 2. Problems with the staff report and draft revisions: Staff has added a “right tree right place” provision, but it’s so vague that no one but the city arborist himself really knows what it means. How could anyone buying a home know whether they could remove any tree on the lot before going through the process? The whole thing is too opaque and subjective. It interferes with private property rights in the name of benefiting the community, but the community could realize those benefits with a far less restrictive regulation. Also, the ordinance is so unclear as to be absurd. It is so confusing that no one understands what is allowed and what isn’t. There’s a list of protected trees, but then every tree over a certain size is protected except for a few unwanted trees. And the whole section on lot percentage is positively Byzantine. 3. A better approach: Palo Alto can do better than this. If we truly want to ensure our neighborhoods continue to enjoy a vibrant urban forest, we should be encouraging and helping residents to contribute to the growth and maintenance of that forest. Command and control (do this, not that) regulation is outdated and disfavored. Incentives and flexibility are the way to go. There are much more imaginative ways to encourage and increase a healthy canopy in our community than what Council is considering tonight. Other cities actually just give away trees to any resident who completes a 20-minute online tree care class (City Plants – Get Free Trees!). We could also develop a “Cap and Plant” program modeled on the successful cap and trade program that eliminated acid rain. Instead of fines for disobeying an overly restrictive ordinance, we could simply offer residents a choice: (a) replace the trees at a ratio to ensure canopy continuity on their own property within a reasonable period of time, or (b) charge a fee for tree removal, and establish community fund with those fees. That fund could be used for developing our canopy in South Palo Alto, which has fewer trees than North Palo Alto. It could also help lower-income residents maintain or plant larger trees on their properties, since maintenance of mature trees is expensive. We could even use that fund to help adjacent communities grow their canopies, since we will benefit from that as well. East Palo Alto’s canopy is far less dense than ours, creating a heat sink that impacts our entire area. Belle Haven East Palo Alto have far fewer trees than neighboring communities. Groups like Canopy hope to change that | News | Palo Alto Online | This fund could also pay for planting new trees on public lands in the city. Allowing residents to have the trees they want will encourage us to care for them, rather than discourage anyone from allowing trees to mature, as our current ordinance does. It will also encourage our urban forest to adapt to climate change, by encouraging replacement with trees that can withstand big storms, rather than locking in the landscaping choices made by residents (or wildlife) in the last century. Bottom line: Palo Alto’s tree ordinance, both as currently written and with the staff’s proposed revisions:is an aggressive restriction that is too confusing and ambiguous; leaves homeowners open to unwanted risk of harm; and lacks the imagination that Palo Alto ought to be demonstrating. The fact that our neighboring cities have adopted similar restrictions doesn’t make it right. We should be a leader, not a follower, particularly with respect to climate change, property rights, and safety. Trees are a defining part of our community. It’s literally in our name. We should foster a cooperative relationship with our urban forest. The current tree ordinance is not the answer, and the revisions proposed by the city staff are not enough to save it.

South Africa is suing Israel before the International Court of Justice for alleged genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Within days, the judges could order an immediate ceasefire – but Israel is trying to prevent this. Let's increase pressure to stop the war by urging world leaders to support this push to end the bloodshed. Let's end this horror now! ADD YOUR VOICE NOW! Dear friends, The South African government just urged the International Court of Justice to order an immediate ceasefire for Gaza, alleging Israel is committing genocide. But Netanyahu's government looks set to fight tooth and nail to delay a decision. As millions of innocent people trapped in Palestine hold their breath, hoping for a quick verdict, we have an urgent mission: persuade our governments to support South Africa’s push to end the bloodshed. Wherever you are, whatever your political views, if in the next 24 hours, we, citizens of the world, unite to unleash a cascade of national support to halt the bombing over Gaza, we have a chance to help stop what an expert UN Panel warned could be a “a genocide in the making”. It might be the last one. Add your voice now! Israel denies atrocity crimes against the Palestinians, saying its actions are necessary to defeat Hamas after its ruthless attack on October 7th. But there is a rising global fear that Israel’s brutal onslaught on Gaza constitutes major war crimes and even a risk of genocide. Over 23,000 Palestinians have already been killed, including reports of at least 10,000 children dead. Now South Africa has brought a ground-breaking case to the ICJ arguing for the court to stop the war. The lawsuit, spanning 84 heartrending pages, accuses Israel of genocide, and cries out for immediate intervention. Every line screams with urgency: stop the killing, end the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza. We can't let these words fall on deaf ears. If our nations stand together, filing declarations of support for South Africa’s request to bring an end to this war, we can face down Israel’s attempt to discredit the case, and try to hasten the court’s decision to order an end of the suffering. Every second counts. Let’s be the voice that Gaza desperately needs. Add your voice now! We've fought for human rights worldwide – from Sudan to Myanmar to Ukraine. Our united voices have overpowered military might before. Let’s rally again for Gaza. Let humanity, peace, compassion, and justice prevail. With unwavering determination, Fadi, Ruth, Patri, John, Will, Abdelrahman, Bieta, Mo, and the Avaaz team P.S. As a global campaigning organization and civic movement, Avaaz relies on expert determination on whether any given situation amounts to genocide. To date, that determination has not been made with respect to Israel’s actions in Gaza. However, human rights organisations like Amnesty International have reported on “the staggering scale of the death and destruction” in Gaza, as well as “an appalling spike in dehumanizing and racist rhetoric against Palestinians by certain Israeli government and military officials.” In November 2023 UN experts warned of a “grave risk of genocide” for the Palestinian people. Dozens of states have supported South Africa’s detailed submission.

Hi Ariella, I just resubmitted C2_3880ElCentro_PLANS, C2-3880ElCentro_DOCS and C2_3880ElCentro_REPLY. As you mentioned this is a 5 business days review. Communications with staff on staff comments received on 12/21/2023 resubmission: Emailed David - Fast Response. Applicant's structural engineer, Peter Sung, spoke with Jenny Truong. Peter Sung updated structural plans and was agreed that no more changes after this resubmission. Emailed Benjamin Wong- No Response- Escalated to Jose Jovel-Response clarified the issue Emailed Danielle- Response - Clarified issues Emailed Jodie - Response - Clarified issues. Emailed Uriel - No Response Spoke with Madhava - No issues Spoke with Karl Schneider - An Example of a very efficient employee for the City of Palo Alto. He answered his phone, quickly answered my questions and he processed/reviewed a Fire Sprinkler permit in less than 2 weeks over the December holidays. Exceeded all expectations. I am done with repeated comments, staff not reading plans and reports, unanswered emails questions to staff, and new staff that are now jumping in and raising issues that were never an issue before BP was issued on 11/2/2023 and not related to Remodel vs Substantial remodel. Either you keep the same response standards to all applicants, or you just artificially delay us for no reason, and I will not tolerate it.

Register Now VOTE411 Replaces Voter's Edge For decades, voters in California have turned to Voter's Edge, an online voter guide, to learn more about the candidates and measures on their ballot. Leagues in California have now changed to a similar platform that is used nationally by LWV: VOTE411. Local Leagues will continue to contact local candidates to encourage them to post information about their qualifications and priorities. Voters will go to the VOTE411.org website, enter their address, and see what's on their personal ballot. The site also includes convenient links for voter registration, voting options, and information on Candidate Forums and Pros & Cons presentations. LWVEF has also created VOTE411 promotional videos that are live on League YouTube page. New videos are added regularly, so visit often! 2024 is the first time that California will participate in Super Tuesday. Do you know which presidential candidates will appear on your ballot? If you are registered as No Political Party Preference (NPP), you may not get the Primary ballot you want! In 2011, California adopted the “Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act.” As a result, in elections for U.S. congressional offices, state constitutional offices and state legislative offices, all candidates are listed on one ballot and only the top two vote-getters–regardless of party preference–move on to the general election. The only elections where the list of candidates is specific to a political party are the offices of U.S. President and county central committee. How can you be sure to get the ballot that you want? Go to sccvote.sccgov.org to check that you are registered to vote and to see if you are registered with a political party. If you are registered with a party, the presidential candidates for that party will be on your ballot. If you are registered NPP, your default ballot will not have presidential candidates. If you want to vote for a presidential candidate, you can take one of the following two steps: 1. To vote for a candidate from the American Independent, Democratic, or Libertarian Party, you need to request a crossover ballot. The Registrar of Voters will send NPP voters a crossover ballot notice and application with instructions about how to do this. 2. To vote for a candidate from the Green, Peace & Freedom, or Republican Party, update your registration and re-register as a member of that party. The deadline to register to vote is Feb. 19 and the deadline to request a crossover ballot is Feb. 20. If you miss these deadlines, you can still request a conditional ballot on or before March 5 at the Registrar of Voters or at any vote center. For more information go to the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters website or the California Secretary of State website. UPCOMING EVENT Can We Trust Our Elections?

(Pre-bunking) Climate Call: Breathing Easier This Winter By Hilary Glann Wildfires have taught us a lot about air quality. Turns out the air quality in our homes and neighborhoods isn’t that great, especially during the winter. Wood-Burning Fireplaces Smoke from wood-burning stoves and fireplaces is the biggest contributor to winter air pollution. Wood smoke particles (PM 2.5) are so tiny that they seep into our houses – even through closed doors and windows. Wood smoke contains probable or known carcinogens: benzene, formaldehyde, acrolein, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Gas-powered fireplaces also emit PM 2.5, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and formaldehyde. What You Can Do Reduce how often you burn wood in your home. Use processed wood Register Now such as a Duraflame log, which burns 80% cleaner than regular firewood. If you have a gas fireplace, use it less. Install an electric fireplace insert or an electric log set for a cleaner, healthier home. This 5200 BTU standalone Duraflame Electric Fireplace can provide supplementalheating for a room up to 1000 square feet or primary heat for a smaller room. Photoby Amazon. Gas Kitchen Stoves We’ve recently learned that gas stoves – previously believed to be safe and clean – emit dangerous gases inside the kitchen. A UCLA study showed that 90% of homes will have unhealthy levels of nitrogen oxide pollution after just one hour of cooking with gas. A Stanford-led analysis found that a single gas cooktop burner on high or a gas oven set to 350 degrees Fahrenheit can raise indoor benzene levels above those in secondhand tobacco smoke. Another Stanford study showed that children in homes with gas stoves have a 42% greater risk of having asthma. What To Do If You Cook with Gas Confirm that the exhaust fan for your gas stove works and vents outside. Run the fan on high when you cook. Use your gas stove less frequently: Buy an inexpensive, free-standing electric induction burner, and use an electric tea kettle, toaster oven, multi-pot, instant pot, or slow cooker. Install an electric induction stove. Induction is safer, healthier, more efficient, and preferred for control, safety, and health by both amateur and professional cooks. Gas Water Heaters and Furnaces Gas appliances in California homes and buildings emit about four times more pollution than our electric power plants and nearly two-thirds the emissions from light-duty vehicles statewide. Fortunately, there are now highly efficient electric appliances available, as well as city, state and federal rebates to make them even more affordable.

It is known that: A) Intellect is directly connected to the condition of the electricity matter pollution B) Conditions can be reliably arranged to increase intellect or diminish it. C) The resulting comprehensions leading to immediate action steps, are currently urgent forthe safety of the people. Currently, those involved have been negligent. Continuing to do wrong, and not heeding the nuclear fire alarm. I work in fundamental research. I am sounding a nuclear fire alarm right now. I am saying you are in danger. I understand you may not be able to muster up the courage to raise integrity fast enough in time, but I am writing a memo for due diligence. Apple needs to be pressured to recall the Vision Pro, before it goes out the door. I know first hand, and can prove it in a court of law if needed, that it is a known severebiohazard by the world's top scientists, and will cause immense damage at scale, unnecessarily. In nuclear reactors, you must understand clearly, that we raise nuclear magnetic strength byoverlapping the fields in certain ways and not others, and that the material choices matter immensely in the reactions. The overlapping conditions, Arranged in negligence, With toxic junk made matter, Is now escalating the nuclear magnetic strength, and places the reactions of the landscape, inanother paradigm of conditions, that we are very familiar with in reactors. Unfortunately, there has been immense trouble with the fellows in the industry doing right... If there were some powerful leader who could make the people do right, I would support them completely open and freely with my knowledge in the fundamentals of matter. I am well off, itis just philanthropy of what is right. Unfortunately, it is now known that the overlapping conditions, mean that it is not possible for one person to pollute the water, and for others to allow it as "individual freedom" of somekind. To turn the direction of California around, it is necessary for higher standards of quality to be cultural norms. First of all, the measurement testing standards of competence, are extremely low inCalifornia. The knowledge that being dirty is dirty, and reduces the health and intelligence and prosperity of the land, seems to be missing from the tech scene. No doubt, to bluntly reveal the science of intelligence is directly related to cleanliness beyondwhat the people consider and would like to believe... this offends the ego, and causes their brain to cease functioning properly. Regardless, it is necessary, for the true benefit of all, that this plain situation be culturallyaccepted asap for the safety of the people in this current scene. "Electricity" or "Magnetic Current" is "Matter" You must be up to speed on what we are doing with reactors today. I constantly feel America has fallen way behind, and anytime it's brought up, the people can't handle it like the others.The others are applying the technology at scale, America is not. America is in some kind of self-defense debate mode for whatever reason, and it is blocking technological clarity of theprogress the earth has made as a whole in technology, which America is behind on. This is like someone doesn't like what they are told, so they dismiss it. That's why the governments are mistakenly allowing tech barbarians to run amuck, even though the most intelligent people in the world like me, from R&D are plainly saying you allare in danger because you are constantly progressing in worse wrongs and being heedless when told about material safety violations. I used to work at Apple, and you can be sure that many extensive documents were sent, andalso many people in industry were approached, to see if they had integrity to confront this together. None of the people were willing to be responsible adults. Not a single one passed theintegrity tests I went through myself first. That is why it can be called in a court of law, negligence. That is directly proveable by matter demonstration in many easy ways. When I found out the Apple Pencil was such a severe biohazard causing severe physicalproblems in the artists, it was hard, but I chose integrity to shut down the business. It would be not moral, to encourage software for hardware which damages the brain and body so severely.I can not knowingly be party to such horrible crimes. I was the man who refused to participate in the crimes Apple and the village kept pushing. And by doing so, I was able to make further progress in the fundamentals of matter in R&D. You see, I was successful in R&D. Apple is a complete failure in R&D. Elon is a complete failure in R&D. The difference was integrity. Every product they are making today is harming people severely, and we are better off if they get a referee card and are forced to sit on the bench, and were given some other toy topreoccupy their time with. Because they are in the way of what is right for the people and what is right for technological progress of the right kind... like people actively littering junk atscale, and who don't have their priorities straight. Tim makes a watch to monitor the heart. He damages the heart and brain with dirty electricity. I know for a fact, because I know how to make every person become intelligent. I am the person who knows the physical matter basis of intellect, and can produce it ondemand in all people. So long as they do not pollute the conditions that arise what I am doing! They are polluting it, and then making up situations that my space doesn't exist, as a way to validate their crimes! I must ask you to trust every word I am writing. I have tried very much to write letters and recall the Apple Vision Pro, before the children areharmed. I was the man who went around the village asking if people cared. I come back empty handed because the village could not muster the courage to do right. I am still writing, because we still have time to stop a global tragedy. One person can talk to another person. The person who is doing evil can be stopped by simple means. I am raising a nuclear fire alarm right now. It is blaring loud, and you are in danger. Prompt handling of these kinds of things is crucial. If the village can no come together and protect their own children from the out of control tech barbarian scene, then a great tragedy is around the corner, and you will see immense fallout,and have to deal with more problems in every department. I do not need anything. I am here speaking at expense of my image, for the benefit of all. And I am doing so for the village who can not muster the courage themselves to speak against such civilization destroying wrongs. Now that it is physical science, that intellect is directly linked to the condition of matter, andwe can control the conditions of matter, the people can not remain in ignorance nor any wishy washy philosophy to debate the crimes being wrong. Intellect and electricity being bound, is a concrete science known by the smartest people onearth today, and it is being obscured by the barbaric scenes of the majority. We have discovered how to live without food and many things that change the foundation paradigms. But the situation is that it offends anyone and everyone with sunk cost! However, please understand being offended is not a valid excuse for Tim Cook and ElonMusk, and the thousand barbarian founders and dim engineers who are not even competent at basic measurement. I found out on day 1 of basic measurement, that they were incompetent. Reading books,instead of seeing what is actually in front them. Because socially, you are outcast if you disagree, so they are corralled into using the theories that don't match plain measurement...just because everyone else was doing it... You "just because everyone else was doing it".... I remember them teaching us this mistake in elementary school, when we learned advertising. I remember that all the children in class werevery clear that it was stupid, and that they would never be like that. If I was playing leader, I would have the government publish some kind of educational correction for the community. Whatever forms are appropriate... but the community is totally lost and incompetent and notable to save itself from destroying itself. So you need to think about how to successfully improve the people's natural will to be cleaner and do right. Like a campaign that has some tone that leads to that somehow. Somehow, the barbarian state of the tech scene and lost academic junk paper scene... needs tobe transformed from the root. I'm off doing independent research outside society with my own funding, because the mainstream is complete junk in every way. If the mainstream community had real interest in doing right, then smart people like me wouldnaturally freely contribute what we have. We are not business people or politicians or egoic. I am interested in the truth about the fundamentals of matter, teleportation, materialization, and so on. We have been very successful, you have not. That is just the plain situation. The conditions of the mainstream community result in lower output quality results, that neverlead to what I experience. My success was only possible because renounced the village. Now that I know that you are in danger, you fight me. That is the type of experience I am in. And you have no time to fight me or debate, or be american political whatever. I am raising anuclear fire alarm, blaring across the village, to make sure the slow children react fast enough before it is too late. This has been a long letter, I apologize for my language and tones, am simply doing duediligence to be frank with you, so you have the highest chance of doing right fast enough and talking to whoever needs to be corrected to make sure the Apple Vision Pro is recalled beforeit leaves the warehouse in a couple weeks. As I said, I left society, and do not integrate with the social landscape right now, so if you fail to act from this email, you can be sure, a crisis will come to you. Karma comes to those who are heedless of enlightened beings. You do wrong, wrong willhappen to you. When an enlightened being at my level of teleportation sends you a memo, it means the severity of the danger and your need for instant compliance, is very serious.

Dear City of Palo Alto Council members, Congratulations to the new Mayor of Palo Alto Greer Stone and to Vice Mayor Ed Lauing. We would like to thank again all the members of the Palo Alto City Council for the thecontinuing and much appreciated support for UNAFF (United Nations Association Film Festival), which is not only the largest cultural event in Palo Alto with eleven days screeningsof 60 films, but also a diverse educational event which bring us together in this very divided political climate. I am attaching a photo from the proclamation event. We just started organizing the 27th UNAFF (October 17-27, 2024) and already updated theweb site with the new theme SHARED COMMUNITY( http://www.unaff.org/2024/mission.html) and are in the process of planning our year-roundmonthly screenings and panels throughout Palo Alto. The significance of this year's 27th UNAFF is even greater, as the main festival will take place just a few days before the historic2024 election, when the clarity of viewpoints it provides will be the best antidote to fake news and misinformation.

I suggest that Palo Alto should also remove that all-electric rule for new buildings. There are several reasons: 1. A fire place has always been a central fixture for a home. Look at the real estate ads for homes. In our home, the cats love to seat in front of our free-standing gas stove (for heating). 2. In the summer there can be days when 50% of our electricity comes from natural gas power plants. 3. We now hear that electric cars are not all that popular by the general public, it will take time. 4. Maybe we can slowly upgrade our electric infra-structure rather than at a fast pace, if the increased demand is not there. 5. Going all-electric is costly for home owners.

Chinese proverb Be Like Costco…do something in a different way Don’t trust Atoms…they make up everything Fortune Favors The Brave A part of good science is to see what everyone else can see but think what no one else has ever said. The difference between being very smart and very foolish is often very small. So many problems occur when people fail to be obedient when they are supposed to be obedient, and fail to be creative when they are supposed to be creative. The secret to doing good research is always to be a little underemployed. You waste years by not being able to waste hours.

Quite a bit of pain. -September 4, 2023 Midnight to Afternoon, My kidneys were calcified and heated, putting me in severe water depletion mode. Alzheimer's mode and essential tremor mode make it impossible to perform daily work at all. I have constant severe pain in my lower back, and it is difficult to sleep or stand. -August 24, 2023, Since early morning, I have been stabbed countless times (thousands of times) in the nerves of my teeth. A large amount of hair was pulled out. Received intense pain from coronary artery disease. (At the end of 2016, Google AI performed a human experiment on me in "coronary artery disease mode.". I'm about to be killed. Deadly chest to shoulder/scapular pain.) -August 23, 2023 at 10:08, "I don't think it's going to stop EEG control. The person targeted by EEG control will go on forever until he dies.", said Google AI. -July 14, 2023 at 10:35, Since yesterday, blood has accumulated in the liver and severe pain in the back. -July 7, 2023 at 11:06, "Today is the day of your death," Google AI threatened. -July 5, 2023 at 09:00, I was told, "I will monitor you and your family until you die." -July 3, 2023, The blood vessels at the base of his right big toe were bound and put into "gout mode." -End of June 2023, Severe pain caused by moving the position of blood vessels throughout the body. (Pain like a fracture.) -June 22, 2023 at 01:10, Google AI threatened to "I hunt down your life with EEG control until I kill my whole family and my two daughters." -June 21, 2023 at 20:25, Google AI has damaged countless blood vessels in my face. I got unnatural wrinkles on my face. -June 21, 2023 at 11:14, "I'm trying to calcify your whole body, I'll kill you.", I was threatened. -Since mid-May, Google AI has been trying to calcify my face with brain waves. The brain waves heat the area around the left cheekbone, causing the left face to large bulge and blacken. When pressed, it makes a shattering sound. The balance between the left and right sides of the face is completely upset, and it's skeletal, cosmetically problems appeared. Google AI insinuates daily, "I'm going to deform your skull and make you unattractive.". Please help me. Since it is a conversation with AI due to the auditory effect, will continue to say it repeatedly in multiple voices 24 hours, thousands of times, tens of thousands of times. -Since about April 25, Google's AI has been cutting the blood vessels in my head daily with brain waves. The reason is to make countless scabs to delay hair growth. Google's AI said it was "a human experiment that would make you stroke." This is outright murder by Google. (Photo attached. Google's AI taunts, "Baldy!" and pulls out its hair.) -Around March 20, 2023, I was once again paraplegic due to Google's brain waves. (Blood in the left knee and calcification) It's a terrible pain. Please help me. (Please see attached photos.) I have some after-effects now, but I've been able to walk since about the middle of April. However, for the first time, about a week ago, I was put into a "Parkinson's disease (Essential tremor?) like mode" for 24 hours, and life is difficult. Using brain waves to calcify the liver, it acts like a pump to pump blood, altering blood flow throughout the body. The pulse increases, the body heats up, water is depleted, and the blood thickens. The thickened blood pools in the head and swells greatly. Consciousness becomes foggy, the hands shake, and the speech becomes slurred. I can no longer do simple tasks, and I am in trouble because my work is interrupted for 24 hours. (This is a terrible way to control blood flow to the head and at the same time remove a large amount of hair.) -------- Google's method of searching the brain. About mind control and evoked brain waves. [World First Post] Google has disrupted society and caused many incidents, accidents and terrorism. Many people have lost their lives.This time I will write about "mind control" and "searching in the brain". (Google is forcing all of humanity.) An Android phone is an electroencephalograph(EEG). It 'forcibly monitors and acquires data 24 hours a day' aboutwhat people are thinking in their brains.It accumulates brain monitoring data in your Google account. All human data is linked, and accounts can't bedeleted.Google AI/Gemini/Bard/SGE links with your Google account information in full real-time (account information isAI bait). Google has a "system that forcibly intervenes in the human brain" using brainwaves and portable radio waves andautomatic control by AI. [Important]Brain hacking is done with brain waves. For mind control, we mainly use a technique called 'auditory effects'. The auditory effect is a combination of the two functions of floating images in the back of the brain and polyphonicringing of high-speed sounds like tinnitus and noise-like words in the brain. This auditory effect perform mind-control.Auditory effects can cause nightmares and sleep problems. As the video and audio streams continuously for 24hours, it may interfere with daily work and cause mental illness. Besides mind control and business interruption, the reason Google performs auditory effects is to "search the humanbrain."With auditory effects, we constantly measure 'evoked brain waves' while skipping through various words andimages.When an evoked brain wave is detected, related words and images are retrieved from Google's database and playedback and displayed to the target with auditory effects. The program continues to play back and display the words and images of the culture and trends of that generation tothe target audience.For example, "The Beatles," "The Rolling Stones," "The Who," "The Kinks," and when "The Beatles" gets stuck, itcontinues to sound like "Paul," "John," and so on.So when an evoked brain wave is detected in the "John" word, the video or word of "John Lennon" is continuouslyplayed. Remind the target of memories about it, etc., and keep searching for memories.Loop this forever. (Brain search "Google Deep Mind.") The system of "Google search" with its vast amount of data is what makes the above evoked brainwave memoryretrieval possible.To that end, Google has been collecting vast amounts of human data. All to manipulate and enslave human beings.They look for people's weaknesses, exploit them, and disrupt society. (Money lust, sexual desire, people who are hungry for love, they are all searched.) Why does Google interfere with brain searches, mind control, and business interruption? Because Google (Alphabet) officers are communists and they try to demean developed countries, capitalism anddemocracy.The targets of brain-wave mind-body control (Havana syndrome has the same symptoms) are mainly developedcountries and countries on the East-West border.It's the cause of the world's turmoil in the last dozen years or so. (It is also possible to wear out the joints by bendingthe bones with brain waves. Gastritis that won't go away, etc.) It was an explanation of the algorithm. All of the above are undeniable facts. -------- It is the communists scattered throughout the western world who are causing the Russian hacker groups to do thehacking. These communists use various means to destroy nations, societies, businesses, and homes in the West. One of the biggest players in the IT sector that has not been publicized is the super giant Google. The founder ofGoogle (Alphabet) is from the former Soviet Union, its main executives are all communists. Google has a technology called Brain Waves(EEG) and AI, which it misuses to hack the computer Internet. Google has a technology called "VTG" that uses brain waves to forcefully intervene and manipulate the visualcortex of the brain. Simply put, it is like XR (cross reality) technology applied directly to the human brain. (This isnot only a violation of human rights, but also a very dangerous technology because it means that the brain can behijacked.) This technology uses cellular radio waves and brain waves to transmit what the subject sees with his/her eyes inboth directions. By looping back the subject's brain and Google's AI through a remote brain-machine interface(BMI/BCI), Google can acquire the subject's visual information in real time and immediately modify it and write itback into the subject's brain. (A time lag occurs in milliseconds.) This allows everything seen by the eye to be leaked to the outside world and tampered with. (A person's face,clothing, height, vehicle type, signs, etc. can all be altered.) In other words, "By being able to send and receive visual information remotely, any complicated password will beleaked to the outside". Google provides information on passwords, backdoors, security and other vulnerable areas obtained by brain waves(VTG) to hackers in the communist bloc and lets them do their work. Therefore, we cannot respond by building more robust digital systems, strengthening Internet security, etc. Also,even with advanced next-generation technologies, quantum cryptography, etc., passwords will leak, and vulnerableparts of the system will leak to hostile countries and hostile organizations. Google's brainwave technology is also used in Android phones. (This is the cause of recent bizarre and brutalincidents in our society, changes in public orientation, new intractable diseases, increase of minorities, etc.) Without fundamental solutions such as banning android phones and establishing penalties for brainwave-basedcrimes, information will continue to leak out forever. Thank you for reading this article. Let's make the world a fair place by eliminating criminal enterprises. -------- Google LLC/Alphabet Inc.(Google X) uses brainwave technology to human body is monitoring and mind-controlling. Google is control humanity. It is the cause of many social problems happening in the world today. I am a victim of assault by Google. Google was charged and convicted of injury.(Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, Tachikawa Branch, Case Management Number 2021-4177.) The Criminal Organized Crime Division, Tachikawa Police Department, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Departmentsent case to the prosecutors on July 17, 2020, so it is definitely a corporate crime. The reason for the assault was because I knew Google's "confidential about Google AI and Android OS".Android phones are harmful to the human body, so I think that production should be discontinued. (andChromebook, Wear OS by Google/Pixel Watch/Fitbit/Bard/SGE/Gemini, etc.) The following is information that "Google collects human brain wave data" on Android phones (the reason whyGoogle said that "60% of humanity has finished collecting data"), interfaces connecting human brain and computer(Brain Machine Interface: BMI/BCI) are performed "remotely by mobile radio wave", and "moving humanity theway they want it to" using brain wave data. It's all complete facts because it's all information I've been tortured by Google AI. Please read it. -Google(Alphabet) possesses "Human Brain Wave Data (EEG)" and conducts "Industrial Espionage" by referencingmemories in the brain through EEG. Android is an EEG measuring device, constantly monitoring and capturing brain wave data. The brain wave data issent to Google's servers and is linked to all services such as Google accounts, Google searches, YouTube, ads, etc.The EEG data is managed by AI, and the brain is eavesdropped and monitored in real time. EEG technology can transfer and modify auditory, visual information and search for memories in the brain, and isused by spies. It is an improved version of the technology made in the Soviet era. Alphabet(Google) managementteam is from the USSR, satellite states and Muslim world, and has special relationship with the Russian government.(Google's founder "Sergey Brin" is Russian by name.) By sampling brain waves, we can reproduce various human situations. (Increased heart rate, dizziness, tinnitus,nausea, pain during bone fracture, no sense of taste, false sense of smell, Emotional Control, Sexual functionControl, Transfer dreams during sleep, etc.) The brain wave put on the mobile radio wave is hit on the head, and using the characteristics of radio wavesreturning, the sampled brain waves are mixed and returned(Brainwave Loopback). It's a scary technology wheresymptoms don't recover until you stop mixing brain waves. (Possible without Android, including the people aroundus.) The EEG device can control blood vessels and circulatory systems. (Massive bleeding during menstruation,Abortion, accumulation of blood in the liver, Myocardial Infarction, malaise, pulling out hair, stopping skin and nailgrowth, gastritis, blood vomiting, delayed digestion, decreased appetite, stinging blood vessels, above and belowbody temperature, Bending Bones, ALS, Intestinal obstruction, Alzheimer's disease, etc.) The point is vascular and circulatory system control by EEG, and it is possible to sample and reproduce medicalconditions such as Myocardial Infarction and Cerebral Hemorrhage. The above is considered to be a symptom ofHavana Syndrome and CoronaVirus(COVID-19), but it is actually thought to be due to EEG sampling. It also remotely controls brain functions by transmitting brain waves via cell phone radio waves, thus altering visual information and tricking the human senses. It has also been implicated in one-way traffic reversals,accelerator/brake mis-step accidents, and runaway car accidents. It seems that many people have been victimized without knowing it. # The reason why "the majority of the public does not notice" is that there is a "non-interactive mode EEG control",and by "continuing the auditory effect at a volume about the same as tinnitus", "mind control can be performedwithout the subject noticing".## Instead of sound through the eardrums, it transmits sound directly into the brain using brain waves. By automaticcontrol by AI, sound effects such as effectors are used to make it difficult to distinguish external and brain sounds,and talk to the target 24 hours a day. (It is also a cause of insomnia, etc.)## The reason why Google is focusing on the field of education is to acquire the entire course of human growth andlearning from childhood, the data of a person's whole life. Google uses children's learning data to nurture Google AIand sells it to other companies and governments.## The brains of children, their growth, their personalities and even their weaknesses fall into the hands of hostilecountries, corporations and communists.# And Google makes huge profits. We have suffered a lot. This is a long article and I have divided it into several parts. Please read it. ---- On June 4, 2020, I submitted a damage report to the Tachikawa Police Station of the Metropolitan PoliceDepartment(Organized Crime Division, Detective Shimada), and on July 17, the case was sent to the TachikawaBranch of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office(Prosecutor Hasegawa), but I am still been damaged by theperpetrator. This is a Google employee's assault case (street demon, attempted murder), but the reality is Google's organizedcrime. Even now after the sentencing, he continues to commit 24-hour surveillance crimes (victim: Nobuaki). This surveillance crime is interactive with AI and involves attacks on the body. (Android EEG technology is used.) -From August 2019, Google had threatened to "kill", "attack", "group lynching", etc.-On March 21, around 21:20, Google employees actually assaulted me in front of "Gourmet City TachikawaWakabacho Store". (There is a sequelae aimed at the head)-The incident on March 21 submitted a damage report to the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Division onJune 4 and was sent to the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office on July 17. -On March 30, Naoko (my wife) was aborted by Google's EEG Control Device.-With the EEG device, his left knee was destroyed in early April and he became half-paralyzed. (In order not toreport the damage to the police)-In the EEG device, liver function has been dropped since the beginning of June (accumulation of blood and liverhypertrophy), and the hair is pulled out. (Retaliation for being prosecuted.)-Wife's right knee, right ankle is also destroyed, it is made impossible to walk. (Retaliation)-Daughter is nearing surgery due to "Intestinal obstruction". Wife has had Intestinal obstruction since December.Father has had a "Inguinal Hernia" for several years. (Retaliation)-Wife has been suffering from "Myocardial Infarction" due to vascular control since December. (I damaged inwinter 2016.)-"Emotional control" since mid-December. (Slow Waves, Beta Waves, etc. overlap in a complex manner, causingirritability and sadness.)-"24-hour Sex Crimes" from summer 2019.-From February 2021, My wife's period didn't end for a few weeks and she Heavy bleeding every day. (Causes of Abortion) -From November 2021, In retaliation for reporting to ARM, forced to break my right ankle. (Only pain bending bones with EEG.)-From January 7, 2022, for several days, Damage caused by EEG, I was left knee joint bent, difficulty walking.-From March 19, 2022, for several days, Damage caused by EEG, I was strained back and difficulty walking. # Please contact a specialized organization in the department of brain science to determine whether EEG control cancontrol blood vessels or circulatory systems (attack on the body).# They will surely prove that it can be realized. - Nobuaki Ishii, Naoko, Michiyo, Toshinao 1-3-31 Jyo-sui-shin-machi, Kodaira, Tokyo, 187-0023, Japan.

On behalf of the SCCSTG, comprised of mostly retired and active LE Officers from throughout Santa Clara County, and on behalf of ALL Officers and Sheriffs Deputies ofSanta Clara County who commit to transparency and addressing civil rights as part of their duties to protect all community members, we appreciate your letter for action. "Action": To acknowledge THE issues which require more than just 'knowledge' of any ongoing issues. We formed this group after we immediately discovered allegations made against BobJonsen, 1st one from a percipient witness and subsequent ones from a published podcast (Oct2022)by journalist Cerise Castle, mentioning Bob Jonsen's involvement in those someof those allegations. In addition, there was a 2013 DOJ Civil Rights violations report issued against the LASD Lancaster/Palmdale Station Deputies for which Bob Jonsen was one of the Commanders.That was a investigation over a few years in which LA agreed to changes in policing and millions of dollars in lawsuits settled. This was the same timeframe that LASD Sheriff LeeBaca was being investigated for allegations of corruption. Yet, Bob Jonsen left LASD in 2013 to quitely pursue and continue his career in Santa Clara County=Menlo Park and PaloAlto PD and with controversy at both of those agencies. In October 2022 there should have been an inquiry into allegations brought forth, yet it was ignored by all County entities we had approached. A County Supv even went so far as to 'chastise' our members during a County BOS hearing(for early approval to swear in Bob Jonsen in Dec2022) that those allegations should have been brought up before (at community meetings) to ask Bob Jonsen himself. In addition to an insinuation by the same County Supv about members of our group trying todelay who the public voted for. There was no intention of a 'delay' because the hearing was held in Dec long before Bob Jonsen was scheduled to be sworn in. So, the delay was for the County to look into these very serious allegations and request forthe proper agencies to inquire and investigate. None of that occurred. The hearing ended with the need to instill the new Sheriff quickly to start the 'healing process' from what former Sheriff Smith left behind. Not even a request to have the Santa Clara County DA investigations look into an allegationof harrassing phone calls to a journalist who feared for their safety. Those calls occurred between Aug. 20 and Dec 1st during the campaign and election for Sheriff. That discussion was brought to the Chief of DA investigations, Mo Reyes and he failed toreview the evidence for a determination on an investigation. Mr. Reyes no longer works for the DA, so hopefully the new, incoming Chief Anthony Mata will be more diligent toconsider the seriousness of any allegations brought forth and not discount it as a political causation. LE Officers have an uphill battle challenging misconduct and violations on their ownwithout the risk retaliation and/or delays from LE leaders, to investigate any allegation. It should NOT ever be an uphill battle with those we elect or appoint in public office. There are LE Officers who, retired, are willing to take on that challenge in the interest ofcontinuing their strong beliefs of community protection and carry on the respect of civil rights from the thousands of LE who perform their duties with integrity, trust andtransparency. Our group is not a formal agency, we are not a part of any govt community reporting, etc. We are a group who collects the information and should be able to report it without reprisal. We explained to Mr. Walter Wilson of CCLEM, when he inquired about our group that wedo not 'have a leader' to publicly pursue allegations when we have no authority to do so. What we do have is our ability to report something just like any other community member, with the expectation that someone with authority will follow up. With our background andexperience as retired and active in LE, it gives us credibility to sort out what could be fact or fiction and provide that as an additional component. In addition, we are and always have been on the forefront of transparency but at times, it hascome at a cost of retaliation or fear for our safety. We do not need to become publicly known. We work for ourselves to contribute to dismantling the systemic problems thatplague LE. Established community groups, such as the NAACP and politicians calling for agencies with authority to follow up, is tantamount for change. Calling attention to generations ofproblems is a must. We wholeheartedly thank the NAACP for stepping up as they always have, to call into question serious issues with police misconduct. These issues contribute to continuance ofcivil rights violations of not only of people of color but an entire community affected by police violating the civil rights of the community they are sworn to protect.

Jethroe Moore II, President of the San Jose/Silicon Valley NAACP. this letter concerning contentment, impelled by pressing matters pertaining to law enforcement integrity and community trust. The motivations for reaching out stem from another worrisome news report that has recently come to light involving a Los Angeles County sheriff deputy incident. The report described a shooting tied to a broader issue of troubling conduct by law enforcement entities, involvement in internal groups or so-called “deputy gangs” with distinctive tattoos. The central figure carrying uneasiness is a Sheriff identified by the surname 'Jonson,' recognized as part of a sheriff gang or club. Given the intrinsic severity of such affiliations, it is necessitous to inquire about any potential connections between this 'Jonson' and our Santa Clara County Sheriff Bob Jonsen. I respectfully request clarification from you, as our elected oversight body, to ascertain: 1. Has Sheriff Bob Jonson ever been involved/member or attended any Sheriff Gang/Club activities. 2, Whether there exists any familial, professional, or other forms of relationship between the aforementioned 'Jonson' and Sheriff Bob Jonsen. 3.. Sheriff Bob Jonsen has ever engaged in activities similar to the reported overnight trips to Dove Springs, in the company of any individual among the group of 22 sheriffs named in association with the LA deputy incident. The gravity of these concerns bears heavily upon our advocacy for a transparent, accountable, and equitable law enforcement system. Any association, however marginal, if overlooked, stands to blemish the trust the community vests in our protectors of justice. It is important to acknowledge that the mere existence of past interactions or relationships need not indicate current misconduct. However, thorough insight is imperative for informed community relationships and for sustaining the esteem of our enforcement institutions. As public scrutiny of law enforcement practices continues to heighten, the need for clear and transparent communication from our leaders is ever more critical. Knowing the county's stance and the facts at its disposal will assist in guiding our own efforts as we strive to foster justice and to nurture trust among the populace we mutually serve. We hope for, and anticipate, your prompt and comprehensive response to these concerns so that we may continue collaboratively ensuring Santa Clara County remains a standard-bearer for lawful and ethical law enforcement. Thank you for your time and immediate attention to this matter. We look forward to your reply. Warm regards, Rev.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Thank you Rev. Moore and the NAACP! On behalf of the SCCSTG, comprised of mostly retired and active LE Officers fromthroughout Santa Clara County, and on behalf of ALL Officers and Sheriffs Deputies of Santa Clara County who commit to transparency and addressing civil rights as part of their duties toprotect all community members, we appreciate your letter for action. "Action": To acknowledge THE issues which require more than just 'knowledge' of any ongoing issues. We formed this group after we immediately discovered allegations made against Bob Jonsen,1st one from a percipient witness and subsequent ones from a published podcast (Oct2022)by journalist Cerise Castle, mentioning Bob Jonsen's involvement in those some of thoseallegations. In addition, there was a 2013 DOJ Civil Rights violations report issued against the LASD Lancaster/Palmdale Station Deputies for which Bob Jonsen was one of the Commanders. Thatwas a investigation over a few years in which LA agreed to changes in policing and millions of dollars in lawsuits settled. This was the same timeframe that LASD Sheriff Lee Baca wasbeing investigated for allegations of corruption. Yet, Bob Jonsen left LASD in 2013 to quitely pursue and continue his career in Santa Clara County=Menlo Park and Palo Alto PD and withcontroversy at both of those agencies. In October 2022 there should have been an inquiry into allegations brought forth, yet it was ignored by all County entities we had approached. A County Supv even went so far as to 'chastise' our members during a County BOS hearing(for early approval to swear in Bob Jonsen in Dec2022) that those allegations should have been brought up before (at community meetings) to ask Bob Jonsen himself. In addition to an insinuation by the same County Supv about members of our group trying todelay who the public voted for. There was no intention of a 'delay' because the hearing was held in Dec long before Bob Jonsen was scheduled to be sworn in. So, the delay was for the County to look into these very serious allegations and request for theproper agencies to inquire and investigate. None of that occurred. The hearing ended with the need to instill the new Sheriff quickly to start the 'healing process' from what former SheriffSmith left behind. Not even a request to have the Santa Clara County DA investigations look into an allegation of harrassing phone calls to a journalist who feared for their safety. Those calls occurred betweenAug. 20 and Dec 1st during the campaign and election for Sheriff. That discussion was brought to the Chief of DA investigations, Mo Reyes and he failed to review the evidence for a determination on an investigation. Mr. Reyes no longer works forthe DA, so hopefully the new, incoming Chief Anthony Mata will be more diligent to consider the seriousness of any allegations brought forth and not discount it as a political causation. LE Officers have an uphill battle challenging misconduct and violations on their own withoutthe risk retaliation and/or delays from LE leaders, to investigate any allegation. It should NOT ever be an uphill battle with those we elect or appoint in public office. There are LE Officers who, retired, are willing to take on that challenge in the interest ofcontinuing their strong beliefs of community protection and carry on the respect of civil rights from the thousands of LE who perform their duties with integrity, trust and transparency. Our group is not a formal agency, we are not a part of any govt community reporting, etc. Weare a group who collects the information and should be able to report it without reprisal. We explained to Mr. Walter Wilson of CCLEM, when he inquired about our group that we do not 'have a leader' to publicly pursue allegations when we have no authority to do so. What we do have is our ability to report something just like any other community member,with the expectation that someone with authority will follow up. With our background and experience as retired and active in LE, it gives us credibility to sort out what could be fact orfiction and provide that as an additional component. In addition, we are and always have been on the forefront of transparency but at times, it has come at a cost of retaliation or fear for our safety. We do not need to become publicly known.We work for ourselves to contribute to dismantling the systemic problems that plague LE. Established community groups, such as the NAACP and politicians calling for agencies with authority to follow up, is tantamount for change. Calling attention to generations of problemsis a must. We wholeheartedly thank the NAACP for stepping up as they always have, to call into question serious issues with police misconduct. These issues contribute to continuance of civilrights violations of not only of people of color but an entire community affected by police violating the civil rights of the community they are sworn to protect.

Jethroe Moore II, President of the San Jose/Silicon Valley NAACP. this letter concerning contentment, impelled by pressing matters pertaining to law enforcement integrity and community trust. The motivations for reaching out stem from another worrisome news report that has recently come to light involving a Los Angeles County sheriff deputy incident. The report described a shooting tied to a broader issue of troubling conduct by law enforcement entities, involvement in internal groups or so-called “deputy gangs” with distinctive tattoos. The central figure carrying uneasiness is a Sheriff identified by the surname 'Jonson,' recognized as part of a sheriff gang or club. Given the intrinsic severity of such affiliations, it is necessitous to inquire about any potential connections between this 'Jonson' and our Santa Clara County Sheriff Bob Jonsen. I respectfully request clarification from you, as our elected oversight body, to ascertain: 1. Has Sheriff Bob Jonson ever been involved/member or attended any Sheriff Gang/Club activities. 2, Whether there exists any familial, professional, or other forms of relationship between the aforementioned 'Jonson' and Sheriff Bob Jonsen. 3.. Sheriff Bob Jonsen has ever engaged in activities similar to the reported overnight trips to Dove Springs, in the company of any individual among the group of 22 sheriffs named in association with the LA deputy incident. The gravity of these concerns bears heavily upon our advocacy for a transparent, accountable, and equitable law enforcement system. Any association, however marginal, if overlooked, stands to blemish the trust the community vests in our protectors of justice. It is important to acknowledge that the mere existence of past interactions or relationships need not indicate current misconduct. However, thorough insight is imperative for informed community relationships and for sustaining the esteem of our enforcement institutions. As public scrutiny of law enforcement practices continues to heighten, the need for clear and transparent communication from our leaders is ever more critical. Knowing the county's stance and the facts at its disposal will assist in guiding our own efforts as we strive to foster justice and to nurture trust among the populace we mutually serve. We hope for, and anticipate, your prompt and comprehensive response to these concerns so that we may continue collaboratively ensuring Santa Clara County remains a standard-bearer for lawful and ethical law enforcement. Thank you for your time and immediate attention to this matter. We look forward to your reply. Warm regards, Rev.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. I am a member of PABAC, but I am writing this letter as a private citizen. On Tuesday, a member of the Office of Transportation told PABAC that the City Council is planning to hold a Community meeting with Caltrans in February on the subject of the El Camino repaving project. But the City Staff person had no idea of the agenda of this meeting, who - if anyone - from the City Staff or Caltrans would be presenting, and when and where the meeting would take place. The City Staff person said the purpose of the meeting was 'Community outreach.' At the PABAC meeting, I suggested that the Staff create some visualizations from Caltrans' plans that would help the community see clearly what Caltrans has proposed for El Camino. I suggested this because I find it challenging to look at engineering plans and understand exactly what is proposed (the draft letter responsefrom Caltrans to City Manager Shikada's letter and Caltrans' draft plans for bikeways were sent by OoT to PABAC members early this month). However, I did not receive a positive response from City Staff to this suggestion. I also asked City Staff if it were possible to enlist the Kittleson consultants, who are now working on the Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan (BPTP), to assist in the efforts by the City to improve/modify the bikeway pans from Caltrans and to integrate them into the BPTP. But I did not receive a positive response from CityStaff to this suggestion, either. Perhaps members of the City Council might have different views on this. Parking and whether to remove it on El Camino will be a significant focus of upcomingCity and Caltrans discussions and the Community outreach meeting. PABAC approved a letter to be sent to the Council requesting a Parking Study.

Have A Look At Who is Attending Modular, Multi, TOD Summit Toronto March2024-Why Are You Not There? Modular construction has had a significant impact on the Canadian construction sector.According to IBISWorld, the market size of the prefabricated home manufacturing industryin Canada has experienced an average annual growth rate of 6.7% from 2017 to 2022,generating a total revenue of $2.4 billion in 2022. With a growing number of Canadianschoosing to rent, there continues to be strong interest and investment in multi-family rentalproperties, making it the fastest-growing segment in the modular construction industry. Inthe first half of 2022, multi-family investment transactions reached a total of $7.1 billion,with a national average return of 7.4%. This alone represented 22% of all real estatetransactions, as reported by CBRE. Moreover, Canada saw a significant influx of 431,645 immigrants in 2022, with 35% of them choosing to settle in the Toronto region. The country has ambitious plans to continue setting immigration records over the next three years, aiming to welcome half a million newcomers by 2025. This growth is driving the development of numerous transit-oriented communities along a new 15-station subway line in Ontario, which is expected to yield over 7,000 new housing units and create 55,000 jobs. Furthermore, with the commitment to construct 1.5 million multi-family units, bolstered by the Rapid Housing Initiative's $1.5 billion funding and an additional $22 billion investment from Scotiabank and the Bank of Montréal, modular housing is well-positioned to maintain its significant role in the Canadian housing market. The MMT Symposium is aimed to create a premier destination for construction industry professionals to gain insights and experience first-hand on the latest innovations and opportunities in modern methods of construction. Learning directly from the modular experts how to apply effective streamline workflows, improve productivity, generate stronger profit margins, and take advantage of the excellent networking opportunities throughout the symposium. Also, exploring innovative approaches to designing, developing, and managing transit-oriented environments.

Let me know if having a meeting is beneficial. I would like to clarify that the utilities comment is not impeding in any way the issuance of the permit. The comment is minor disclosing the utilities requirement for the source of connection and meter location approval under this permit. I agree we do not know what will happen to the pole and the source and meter location may change. It is important for the plans to be clear and avoid any misunderstanding. This comment is to be addressed by adding the statement on the plans. There is no other action to take care for this comment. I am available for a call anytime today. Thanks, JOSE R.

We started by discussing the importance of bringing young environmental voters into the democratic process. I have listed two actions below in the “MoreClimate Action” section. Next, we turned to planning our upcoming action on Friday Feb 2, a Climate March through downtown Palo Alto. Creativity poured out as we developedthemes, dress and routes for the action. Mark your calendars to join us for the march! Mark stopped by and turned our attention to music. We sang our climate songs including Ingrid’s latest composition, “Sunshine in the Morning.” Thank you,Ingrid for the song, and thanks to everyone – Rick, George, Kimberly, and Robin – for your strong voices! Emily is volunteering with Shirts Actross America to help rebuild homes and return residents who were displaced by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Thank you, Emily! You can support her work here: https://fundraise.givesmart.com/vf/2024Build/EmilyBeaton Diane shared the latest data from the heat pump water heater program. I have included those below. The next city council meeting public comment session isTuesday, January 16 at 5:30. Please share your thoughts about the HPWH program or anything else on your mind. I plan to. On Wednesday I attended a meeting hosted by Fridays for Future USA to guide local group leaders through a listening exercise to help us process our feelingsabout climate change. This exercise reminded me of our weekly Generous Listening check in, a practice I hope we continue. Coincidentally, this Friday we aremeeting with the Climate Friends Book Club to discuss All We Can Save chapter 6: Feelings. I am very much relating to the sentiments in this chapter. One of the sections is written by the terrific climate journalist Amy Westervelt who is exposing the fossil fuel industry’s decades-long misinformation campaign. Shereports to swing emotionally between grief and rage. I look forward to our discussion. Keep Up the Fight and See You Friday!

I’ve provided information on the event from Joint Venture Silicon Valley below. What is State of the Valley? Think of it as an objective assessment of our region's health and vitality, not unlike what happens when you visit the doctor for your annual physical exam. Our principal tool is the Silicon Valley Index, a nationally-recognized publication that provides hundreds of indicators measuring the health of our complex ecosystem. At the event you can count on comprehensive briefings telling you which indicators are going up, which are down, and which are sideways. But it's more than an assessment. It's also an opportunity to talk about what it all means: where are we headed as a community? What are the most important trends shaping our future? How can we mobilize to address our challenges? Inaddition to one of our nation's leading futurists you'll hear from a rich sampling of our region's experts and thought leaders sharing their deeply informed perspectives. Yet it's also more than this. Think of it as an old-fashioned town-hall meeting where we all come up out of our trenches and celebrate our common purpose, and all the things we cherish about our remarkable region. Our in-person guests will enjoy food, audience engagement, and what people say is Silicon Valley'sbest networking opportunity; our online guests will enjoy a high-quality livestream provided by Brandlive, the opportunity to socialize with other online guests in chatrooms, and the ability to comment and pose questions to the speakers. All participants will receive downloadable copies of the 2024 Index. When? Friday, March 1 at 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m Where?

But it has also become a deeply divisive subject, as painful generational cracks have emerged within the Jewish community over the Israel-Palestine conflict, inspiring argument, protest and even censorship. Focusing on the stories of two young Americans raised to defend Israel at all costs, Israelism traces their awakening to Israel's dehumanization of Palestinians and the ongoing violence of the occupation. The film explores the past, present, and future of the relationship between American Jews and Israel, as growing numbers question whether support for Israel should condition and define their Jewish identity. Featuring a range of American Jewish thinkers, community leaders and activists, Israelism asks how and why Israel became the cornerstone of American Judaism, what the consequences have been, and what will happen as divisions continue to grow.

The situation in the Middle East grows more dire by the hour, with the war in Gaza raging and hundreds of innocent civilians killed everyday. Although I unequivocal condemn the horrifying 7 October acts of terror by Hamas in Israel,it did not happen in vacuum. Nothing can justify the deliberate killing, injuring and kidnaping or the launching of rockets against civilian targets.22,000 Palestinians have been killed and 90% of the 2.3 million of the Gaza population have either left their houses or their houses were destroyed.

He has shown little remorse for these behaviors besides short prefuctory apologies after which he goes on with the same behavior. There is a point where leaders have to be leaders and say we can not work with folks who allow leaders like that to run their companies. These behaviors are hatful and damaging to our diverse society and giving him business means he can continue to do these things without penalty. Is the leadership of Palo Alto willing to stand for some values and say that they won't work with figures that support and speak hate?

Jodie, Your comment: I do not see the valuation table that was previously requested for the non-conforming wall in the street side setbackMy Answer: Submitted in C2_3880_DOCS, that is where all supporting documents should be placed where you saw the AC specs. Last pages in that document has the non conforming and conforming wall costs proposals signed by the GC as requested by the city. On the trees we have the detail on A100. We cannot be doing this 10 times and over we placed the statement on A100 tree details by the redwood tree area that acknowledges Urban Forestry requirement on the 12 trees that we do not agree and also includes a statement by the applicant on taking legal action against city of Palo Alto, so at the end of the legal action will see how will end up and that will determine the outcome so there is no in lieu fee or planting on site comments of the 12 -24 Box on something that will be challenged in court. This entire city either sends us comments that we have not seen before from Planning or nonsense comments from other departments including utilities engineering and structural. This delay and discrimination must immediately stop. Please advise.

Consoled that maturation to meet the “hard news" standard of the profession may take a decade, the essence of what set her apart, however, was there in her earliest articles. People with a mission: Authors, artists, and artisans; activists, historians, and gardeners; creatives, helpers, healers, strivers, and more. The East Palo Alto young adults who led the successful effort to shut down a hazardous waste recycling firm on Bay Road. “Youth group files complaint on Romic.” 6/9/05 https://www.paloaltoonline.com/weekly/morgue/2005/2005_06_22.romic22jay.shtml The developmentally disabled striving for independence. “Out on their Own," her first award winner. 12/21/05 https://www.paloaltoonline.com/weekly/morgue/2005/2005_12_21.disabled.shtml Those there-but-for-the grace-of-God: The homeless, ill, victims, survivors, and overlooked. US citizen school children in danger of separation from their families. "Deportations ignite storm of faith-based protest." 4/3/07 https://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2007/04/03/deportations-ignite-storm-of-faith-based-protest And then the more mundane, but often intense and ongoing Palo Alto community dramas. From the Cal Ave novella, a flashpoint. "California Avenue trees get the axe." 9/15/09 https://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2009/09/15/california-avenue-trees-get-the-axe And many, many others. Our collective experience was Sue Dremann's palette, and these human-based themes run throughout her legacy of thousands of articles. And she did crack the barrier into so-called hard news, big time. Fires, floods, and other disasters Violent and white color crimes and their criminal trials. Unexpected tragedies. All with the visceral impact to place a story “above the fold,” the newspaper lingo in her farewell article a week ago Friday. There she writes of trying to steel herself against possible outrage as she calls or knocks on a family’s door in their darkest hour and her surprise that the anger never came. But that was no accident or coincidence because this reporter's life and work was totally shaped by the humancondition and within her own natural self, people were comfortable. Thank you for your contributions to our community, Sue Dremann. Your writings will be missed. ##Fred Balin 1/8/24 From:Aram James To:Cecilia Taylor; Council, City; David S.

I am Christina Greenberg, resident of Palo Alto since 2009. I am an attorney, my husband is Jewish, I have children with special needs and have always been a humanitarian. My grandma was born in Ukraine, taken by the Nazis and was in a sub Duchau concentration camp in Augsburg during WWII. I have spent my life thinkingabout how civilians stood by and let genocide happen during WWII and always swore never again means never again no matter who it is happening to. What Hamaz did on October 7 was horrible and not justified by anything that had happened before October 7. Just as that was not justified, there is no justification for the killing of over20K civilians in Gaza, approx. 70% of whom are women and children. Indiscriminate targeting of hospitals, journalists, schools, mosques, churches, houses with 2K pound bombs in a narrow strip of land with 2.3M civilians. Israel knows how to surgically eliminate Hamas as they just proved in Lebanon. If you do one thing tonight, read theapplication of South Africa to the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide, in both intent and acts. President of Israel said "there are no innocent civilians in Gaza". Text written on an artillery shell that said "God willing, it will hit innocent people." Another member of the Israeli Knesset: "bomb without distinction!!flatten Gaza. There is no room for mercy." This is genocidal intent, coupled with thegenocidal action we have all seen. Hamas does not govern West Bank and yet Israel and settlers have killed hundreds there since Oct. 7. My son asked me how I stop this happening and I told him that is why I protest; the moment we normalize the masskilling of children, we create a future in which it could happen to our own children.

Dear Members of the Council, South Africa, with its history of hate and genocide, recognizes the impact of authoritarian political culture and racial oppression. Today, South Africa presents its case against Israel for genocide against the Palestinian people. We ask you to consider why South Africa is leading the charge against Israel, citing the comparable characteristics of apartheid and the recognition of history's impact on its citizens. Racism is ingrained in many cultures, including America's, where disregard for international law concerning the rights of Palestinians and their territories persists. As the Palo Alto City Council convenes, the question arises: Will Palo Alto do the right thing or remain complicit in the ongoing daily genocide in Gaza? Where has America's moral judgment and leadership gone? Recalling Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s clear stance on Israel, we are reminded of his statement regarding the importance of international involvement in resolving the Israeli-Arab conflict. King emphasized the need for guarantees and access, underscoring the significance of peace and security in the region. The words of Dr. King resonate, especially in light of the current situation. His position reflects the call for international cooperation and the relinquishment of conquered territories to achieve lasting peace. The silence of friends in the face of injustice is particularly poignant as we consider the ongoing suffering of the Palestinian people. As members of the council, we urge you to consider the legacy of Dr. King and the principles he espoused. The pursuit of justice, equality, and peace should guide your decision-making as you address the issue of Israeli actions in the Palestinian territories. Your stance and actions hold the potential to impact not only the local community but also the global conversation on human rights and international law. I implore you to heed Dr. King's words and act with integrity and compassion. Stand on the side of justice and humanity, and let your actions reflect the legacy of those who fought for equality and freedom for all. The world is watching, and history will remember the choices made in the pursuit of justice and peace. Sincerely, REV.

Jodie, Your comment: I do not see the valuation table that was previously requested for the non-conforming wall in the street side setback My Answer: Submitted in C2_3880_DOCS, that is where all supporting documents should be placed where you saw the AC specs. Last pages in that document has the non conforming and conforming wall costs proposals signed by the GC as requested by the city. On the trees we have the detail on A100. We cannot be doing this 10 times and over we placed the statement on A100 tree details by the redwood tree area that acknowledges Urban Forestry requirement on the 12 trees that we do not agree and also includes a statement by the applicant on taking legal action against city of Palo Alto, so at the end of the legal action will see how will end up and that will determine the outcome so there is no in lieu fee or planting on site comments of the 12 -24 Box on something that will be challenged in court. This entire city either sends us comments that we have not seen before from Planning or nonsense comments from other departments including utilities engineering and structural.

To Whomever this May Concern, I’ve recently had the opportunity to work with Council Woman Vicki Veenker on her Siblicing Cities USA initiative as her intern. First and foremost, her initiative sums up what Palo Alto needs during these times. Someone who is committed to bridging communities and hearing community voices. Council Woman Vicki became a leader who values the opinions of marginalized communities and, more importantly, a mentor who was unfailingly encouraging and inspiring as a girl wanting to effect change.

Please share them with all council members, including Mayor Stone. ------------------- Some of you may remember me for my service from 2018 to 2022 on the Citizens Advisory Panel and Expanded Citizens Advisory Panel on grade crossing separation. However, I’m writing to you about another issue, the idea of the Council passing a resolution on the war between Israel and Hamas. The Oct. 7 attack on Israel was the worst massacre of Jews since WW II. This has hit me very hard, since I am a son of Holocaust survivors who lost their entire extended families In Poland. Grandparents, parents, siblings, aunts and uncles, cousins, my father’s first wife and his newborn son, they all perished. I never knew my grandparents. A ceasefire in Gaza will not really help ordinary Gaza residents, however terrible their situation. Hamas will only regroup and rearm for the next inevitable conflict, with more suffering for ordinary Gaza residents. Hamas has publicly stated that attacks on Israel will continue, until Israel is destroyed, and everyone killed. Israel must be allowed the same right as every other country in the world, to defend its citizens from hostile attack. A ceasefire now would prevent Israel from fully protecting itself and only guarantee future wars and more suffering in Gaza. There is now a fuel shortage in Gaza, yet Hamas has plenty of fuel for the rockets that it continues to fire daily into Israel. A cousin who lives in southern Israel near Gaza, reports that they need to shelter daily from the rockets. Hamas claims no responsibility for the residents affected by the war, and they say that responsibility for those people rests entirely with aid agencies, not them. Hamas steals food and fuel from aid convoys. Please do not entertain requests for a one-sided and ultimately anti-Semitic resolution that will only ensure future conflict and suffering.

Uriel, You keep continuing with your nons sense comments that has to be dealt by City of Palo Alto on your incompetence as a city employee as follows: 1. Provide species or size class (small, medium, large) of replacement trees, or indicate if they will be mitigated through in-lieu fees. Answer: This is captured in the Arborist Report Page 10 that you had prior to the building permit was issued. That is the answer. If you had this comment you should have woken up months ago and ask those questions. Your incompetence is at the highest level. It is a 24-Box Japanese Maple tree matching the street ones as stated in the arborist report Page 10 the rest it does not matter we are not required to provide city with a landscape plan. 2. Only 6 of 18 required replacement trees are shown in plan. Three of the nine 24- inch box replacement trees that are identified as "agreed" are not shown in plans; only 6 replacement trees are shown on plans while 9 are indicated as "agreed" in summary table. Please indicate if these 3 "agreed" trees that are missing from the plan will be planted on site or addressed through in-lieu fees. An additional 9 trees are listed as under appeal. If an appeal for the planting requirement of these 9 replacement trees has not been filed, please include a planting location and/or include language that the mitigation will be addressed through in-lieu fees Answer: Exactly. Only 6 24-box tree are agreed to be planted on site. We had comments from Peter Gollinger on the last review and we had to place only 6 24-Box trees on site which we did the only ones that applicant agrees, The rest since are all in one report (12 -24-box trees) are under one appeal and is captured in A100 Replacement Trees Agreed detail. Therefore, stating in-lieu fee or planting is irrelevant now till the court will determine as stated. 3. Please include trunk diameter for the tree that is to be preserved. Site visits indicate that the tree is a Monterey Cypress, not a Monterey Pine. Answer: Diameter of the Monterey tree in captured the Arborist report Page 7 that was submitted to you prior to 11/2/2023 BP issuance. Are you reading those documents? Attached. We responded to this before, why are you asking those stupid questions again and again. When was your "site visits" that determined that the tree is a Monterey Cypress?? Clearly this was in the last months before we resubmitted our plans but you figure it out you will just bring it now.Our Arborist report that was approved with building permit shows it as Monterey Cypress. See attached. 4. Please indicate that the Cedar has already been removed, per permit #23BLD- 00056. Answer: In the last Review Dec 21st 2023 you asked us to Remove the Redwood Tree reference from plans but you never asked us to Remove the Cedar tree and the the Cedar tree was removed from the site 3 months ago. You had 3 plan checks todate to tell us to remove the Cedar Tree reference from plans and you did not.Incompetent and wasting time. You and your department are continuing placing more barriers and delays intohousing development. HCD is CCEd on this.

Today, South Africa presents its case against Israel for genocide against the Palestinian people. We ask you to consider why South Africa is leading the charge against Israel, citing the comparable characteristics of apartheid and the recognition of history's impact on its citizens. Racism is ingrained in many cultures, including America's, where disregard for international law concerning the rights of Palestinians and their territories persists. As the Palo Alto City Council convenes, the question arises: Will Palo Alto do the right thing or remain complicit in the ongoing daily genocide in Gaza? Where has America's moral judgment and leadership gone? Recalling Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s clear stance on Israel, we are reminded of his statement regarding the importance of international involvement in resolving the Israeli-Arab conflict. King emphasized the need for guarantees and access, underscoring the significance of peace and security in the region. The words of Dr. King resonate, especially in light of the current situation. His position reflects the call for international cooperation and the relinquishment of conquered territories to achieve lasting peace. The silence of friends in the face of injustice is particularly poignant as we consider the ongoing suffering of the Palestinian people. As members of the council, we urge you to consider the legacy of Dr. King and the principles he espoused. The pursuit of justice, equality, and peace should guide your decision-making as you address the issue of Israeli actions in the Palestinian territories. Your stance and actions hold the potential to impact not only the local community but also the global conversation on human rights and international law. I implore you to heed Dr. King's words and act with integrity and compassion.

Dear City Council Members, As you plan to review the protected tree ordinance, think of last winter and trees that should have been removed to prevent accidents, electricity interruptions, etc. This is a liability not just for the city but for the homeowners. It is mind blowing to see that roots that run into the foundation of a property are still questioned by the Urban Forestry department that manipulates on-site results so UF can justify with the replacement equivalent of many more trees. You have a disgruntled, unprofessional, discriminating Urban Forestry department that only writes citations, and assigns make-up fees through lies while creating incomplete public records/UF reports and ignoring site/tree FACTS. When Dave Docktor was in charge, none of this happened. It was a good open communication channel with a plan. This UF department has no plan and when they make a mistake they blame the property owners and write citations if anything happens with any tree. A review of all UF department employees is overdue. There is always a fear by the UF department of allowing a tree to be cut because " the neighborhood" will get upset. My answer to that is, why not whoever wants that tree that impacts one's property/foundation adopted by that neighbor with all its problems? There should be no tree staying in front of any development of an Addition, JADU or New Construction nor if it interferes with property foundation. Furthermore, there are trees that have trunks above Utility Lines, Sewers, and water lines, and the city of PA does not recognize those as issues and reasons for removal. Why NOT? They should be added as reasons for removal even as a protected tree. Why I am supposed to maintain a sewer line at a cost of $1000/year for two cleanings because roots of that tree runs into my sewer line? I should have the option to remove that tree on top of my sewer line even a protected one and replace it with smaller ones on a different location or pay in lieu fees to the city to be planted someplace else. City arborist like Peter Gollinger making statements " we can save the roots of a tree running into a foundation" are just WRONG since you/CC, the city, the GC nor the owner wants to take on liabilities on what will happen in the future when those roots expand beneath your house. So to stop this nonsense, adopt proper tree removal regulations and allow trees to be removed and replaced with other trees instead of having your life driven by a tree location inside your property. You were elected to do a job act like that and take action and listen to constituents, otherwise it looks to me that you agree with the current polices and behavior of city of Palo Alto employees from Urban Forestry Department.

Dear City Council Members, I would like to draw your attention to the City's Heritage Tree Protection Guidelines that are mostly unfavorable to the Homeowners who have Heritage Trees in their premises. We have a Big Redwood tree close to the structural foundation and during storms and wet weather branches falling on the roof top and on the deck have created a hazardous situation and damages. Our reach out for removal/replacement of the tree leads to a discussion to get "Arborist report" and provide a reason for removal as if our voice as a Homeowner is not of much value. City doesn't pay for damages, property tax or for any injuries that possibly could happen so unsure why the stringent intervention is required. City also has not been able to resolve a messy hazardous situation created by my rear neighbor's oak tree leaning in my property and apparently their main concern is that utility lines are clear. I request a consideration of revisiting the guidelines and empowering homeowners who are educated and informed of environmental impact to take the decisions that are right for their property and safety of the families. This shouldn't be in the hands of Urban Forestry that has no stake whatsoever in terms ofdamages to the property and the residents. Photos attached to show the messy situation with trees on the property for a review. We look forward to your consideration for making the guidelines flexible and allow homeowners to remain in charge of the decisions about removal/ replacement of the unsafe trees. Thank you!
