Witness for the Truth
May God Reward you and yours, Vivian, for your Courage, Charity and Compassion. I do think Our Lord wants to give US no small Victory. I wish someone of your moral and intellectual integrity had been on the jury ... but I thank God daily (and your Great Uncle canonized by Pope John Paul II -- Saint Mateo Correa Magallanes http://saints.sqpn.com/saintm1v.htm -- do you realize that St Mateo began his Seminary on Jan 12, 1881 -- so it's not only Rush H Limbaugh, III's B-Day ;) or merely my Sentencing date -- there is no accident or mere coincidence in God's Divine Providence) that you were a witness to both arrests in 2009 on Holy Thursday night and on Good Friday at the Altar of Repose, and that you were not afraid to Witness to the Truth during my Trial and defense Nov 17-30, 2010.
Jane Panopoulos wanted to come and join you on the stand after her classes ended at noon for my defense on Wed, Nov 24, 2010 and Jane almost made it. She needed the help of a subpoena being a 3rd grade teacher at St Catherine's in Reseda. Jane could have testified more regarding my work at St Therese and with the LA Archdiocesan Discipleship program and all the Masses and devotions she's attended where we've passed each other -- all over the LA Archdiocese. Jane was the person kneeling behind me that touched my shoulder on that Holy Thursday night in 2009 while we were Adoring Our Lord and praying at the Altar of Repose after the Mass (I did NOT know Jane was there behind me either until she put her hand on my shoulder after the police had ordered those 6 other Adorers, including you at the far left end of the pew, Vivian, out of the pew on either side of me -- none of this did I either see or realize since I had my head down on my arms in the pew and was praying with my eyes closed so I did not even see or hear John and Anne Wrot leaving or the others coming in to kneel next to me until the police were on either side of me and all of you were standing in the aisles wondering what was going on and why the police wanted to talk to me) and Jane was the one who offered to go outside with me and be a witness for me with the police.
Fifty (50) parishioners Adoring Our Lord in front of me on Holy Thursday night and even those 50 behind me praying -- did not see or know what all the whispering was about and were sh-sh-shushing so I stood up after Jane had put her hand on my shoulder from behind and had made her offer, mainly so that all the whispering would not disturb those praying (and "asleep" to what was taking place) any further, and then I asked you, Vivian, to come with Jane and me, as well -- otherwise, I would just have continued praying until midnight and let the police wait until our Pastor returned, or those pointing me out and demanding my arrest did something that would make it clear to the police that they were "disturbing the Peace". David Llewelyn, Esq had counseled me very clearly -- so I knew I was NOT "occupying" ... I was remaining in prayer with the other parishioners (general public) at the times the church was "open to the public" and therefore I was NOT "occupying" OR "trespassing" etc.
I was clearly protected by Constitutional and CA law (both civil and penal codes) and my arrest(s), all the violence and injury done to me; our church of St Therese; my many friends among the parishioners (which injury continues to this day); intimidation, harassment, etc. was, is and remains prohibited by law with STRICTLY DEFINED penalties, which are current and enforceable.
The DA prosecution and Janosiks et al. know this -- and more, Judge Jared Moses et al. know what this case means to Title 18, which is why the 1st Amendment, Constitution, mention of religion, Church and/or Archdiocesan practice and policy were all barred from Judge Moses' courtroom, and why the DA/Prosecution have done everything they thought they could get away with, to stall, cheat and "win" given the "fact" that they never had a case or "cause" to begin with; but especially to forestall Title 18 fallout and prevent 100s of 1000s of $$$ in penalties "once the criminal charges are dismissed", which penalties must be charged against all those "private persons" involved in my arrests, because these "private persons" excluded (or "expelled") the Church, the owners of church property, and lawful authorities when they initiated and set up false criminal charges against a practicing member of the church Faithful and a law abiding citizen, and forced Church matters outside of the Church's venue and Tribunals, and into the venue of State criminal prosecution against members of the Church (including but not limited to myself, the Pastor of St Therese, the local auxiliary Bishop, and the Archbishop of Los Angeles).
But no, for the length of 639 days and counting these "private persons" remain "at large" to bully (and worse) the entire parish (including pastor(s), priests, etc) with impunity... since parishioners at St Therese remain paralyzed with terror, confusion, inaction and/or ignorance of this matter.
"Be Not Afraid" ... fails to move those who choose to hide in all the confusion ---- so the liars thrive and and continue to sink their tentacles deeper -- and the Church suffers.
Vivian -- these criminals saw you at the Trial.
IF you begin to notice ANY intimidation, harassment, threats, any change in policy or attitude toward you from anyone at St Therese ... if at any time, YOU enter or seek enter to St Therese church for Mass or the Sacraments and your entry is barred or obstructed and/or you are intimidated (people watching you or talking about you behind your back -- all sins, of course, but the hellbent have their own agenda) if you feel threatened, harassed -- BE SURE YOU HAVE A WITNESS (or ask someone to witness) -- do what I did and ask someone (I asked Victoria Sandoval who was working at the Pro Life table near my voter registration table on the church steps/patio and who works in the DA's office to be my witness on Oct 19, 2008 ) to witness for you in the event that anyone (ushers, etc.) begins to confront or trouble you.
The same if any of the priests become concerned for your safety and try to suggest that you: "stay away" ... this activity is AGAINST THE LAWS of our State and Country -- (it is also against Church Law and, clearly, God's Law). It is also CRIMINAL activity. YOU can prosecute all who harass, threaten, intimidate or bar or obstruct your entry to a "place of religious worship" and the penalties start at $5,000 for each and every person the first time. The penalty jumps to $50,000 for the 2nd time each of those same "private persons" harasses you, and so on.
The Pastor and I were working within the Church and with the Church's canon laws, lawyers and tribunals. I did NOT initiate pressing civil/criminal charges against John Janosik in Oct 2008 when he barred and obstructed my entry at the main church entrance on Sunday, Oct 19, 2008 near the front steps where I was registering voters (where the Pastor, Fr Jan Lundberg, OCD, had asked me to station my voter registration table for neighbors and parishioners and those attending the Parish Family/Alhambra Festival Carnival and display the Protect Marriage/Prop 8 signs and information) just before the start of the 1PM Extraordinary Form Mass, when John Janosik threatened to call the police. Olivia and Erine and others also witnessed this attempt to bar my entry in ways that helps highlight the malice and injury intended for me.
Instead of pressing charges in state and county courts, I had asked Canon Lawyers to review a stack of false and defamatory letters I had received from STC ministry coordinators between August 2008 and February 2009 that finally noted in writing a few of the false allegations and other character assassinations whispered in the dark in the shadows by the backstabbing "unholy huddle". The Church has Her own Tribunals to deal with unlawful or damaging activity among its members.
Fr Jan and I agreed I would continue attending the 1PM Sunday Mass in the Children's Crying Room (which I entered from the Sacristy that Sunday, October 19, 2008 to avoid John Janosik's attempt to provoke an incident with the police, while the Pastor, Fr Jan Lundberg was away from the church for a few hours for medical therapy after his knee operation). I did continue attending Mass in the Children's Room next to the Sanctuary each week from Sunday, October 19, 2008 through Sunday, March 1, 2009.
But no -- "private persons" -- self appointed "agents" -- of the State can simply take matters OUT of the Pastor's hands, "delegated down" authority from the "owner" of the church into their own hands, and use the Criminal Informant System to order the police to enter our churches, chain up and arrest our parishioners and "expel" them from churches and synagogues and other places of religious worship as revenge against any Faithful Citizen (Hierarchy and Laity) not in lock step with their political and personal agenda. "They will put you out of ("expel" you from) the synagogues and churches: yes, the hour comes, that whosoever kills you, will think that he does a service to God." (John 16:2)
Do you know that if merely 2 of the 50 -- of the 100s -- of Faithful who have ALREADY been harassed, intimidated, threatened, barred from Apostolates and Ministries at St Therese, etc. arrested, discouraged from attending Masses at St Therese church (yes, there are others, including parents and youth) if any one or all of you pressed charges under Title 18, even before my Appeal is won ... you could put a START to THE END of this type of political and personal attack from inside our churches and synagogues across the United States ? Do NOT wait until "private persons" aka "agents" call the police to have you "expelled" from your church on false criminal charges. Even one -- is way over the line in the USA. Remember, the Los Angeles Archdiocesan attorney was BARRED by the Judge from giving testimony in my defense at the LA Superior Courthouse in Alhambra on November 24, 2010.
You, Vivian, are protected by law and the law prohibits most of what has been going on at St Therese parish since my arrival on October 15, 2007, and also long before. The same law that takes our Constitutionally guaranteed 1st Amendment protection to "enter or seek to enter a place of religious worship" and prohibits threats, intimidation, violence, harassment, barred or obstructed entry ALSO is applied (that is our CONSTITUTIONALLY GUARANTEED protection to enter a place of religious worship is extended by law and now ALSO includes those "persons entering or seeking to enter a reproductive health facility".
If our entry, that is, if "persons entering or seeking to enter a place of religious worship" are not protected and that protection is not enforced, then clearly the extension of the law for "any person entering or seeking to enter a reproductive health facility" is also void in the eyes of the law. Judge Jared Moses has opened the floodgates of Heaven and Hell with his arbitrary and lawless "rulings".
Giovanna Setiady is the most thoroughly trusted person by our Pastor, Fr Jan Lundberg, at St Therese -- Giovanna and I both went and looked at the Tabernacle Veil in the Guadalupe/ Sanctuary chapel on Friday morning after Mass on January 16, 2009 (only 3 days after Mrs Cailan interrupted my conversation with Fr Jan in the hallway at the top of the stairs outside the Guadalupe/Sanctuary chapel on Tuesday evening, January 13 and grabbed the Tabernacle Veil out of my hands, which I released immediately (so it would not tear) in Fr Jan's presence -- Fr Jan and I just looked at each other, shrugged and dropped the matter until Friday morning, when Giovanna and I were free to discuss the matter with Fr Jan or together as we eventually did). This Veil was in the same chapel where Linda and I had worked for weeks and completed all the cleaning from the smoke damage (that had not been done by anyone since the Sylmar Fires of 2008) -- I had washed all the sheer curtains and windows and Linda was trying to buy new drapes -- these are the clean windows and sheers the "private persons" used on Good Friday to point out where I was sitting and praying -- between the Setiady and the Urquidi families.
When Giovanna and I examined the Tabernacle Veil on Friday, Jan 16 (we asked Fr Jan to come and look at the Tabernacle Veil with us but the Pastor was busy with some carpenters) the Tabernacle Veil was NOT "torn" that we could see (if Mrs Cailan tore the Veil accidentally either with her long nails or trying to put the Veil back on the Tabernacle because she is short, or if there was a pre-existing small tear, we did not see it -- the Veil looked fine) and Giovanna and I both decided the Veil did not need washing any more -- it looked clean and I had noticed this on Jan 13 before Mrs Cailan grabbed the Veil out of my hands -- Giovanna thought she remembered that Rebecca had offered to wash the Veil quickly, sometime after I had been given the task just before Christmas but too late for me to actually wash the Veil in time for the Christmas Masses (I had simply been told to wash the Veil when the Tabernacle was empty -- on a weekday after the Christmas, Sunday/Weekend and Holy Day Masses -- so my earliest real opportunity to do so was after Night Prayers on Jan 13, 2009). I suggested to Giovanna -- that early Friday morning on January 16 that we probably needed a new Veil since that Veil had cheap silver sparkle on it that made the Veil LOOK grey and dusty even when clean, and even when additional smoke damage from the Sylmar fires of October 13, 2008 no longer covered the Tabernacle Veil with filth. The smoke ash had remained on that Veil for months until Linda and I noticed it while working on that chapel just before Christmas. A few weeks after our discussion on Jan 16, I noticed a new Veil on that Tabernacle during Evening Prayer. It definitely looked whiter.
We now have testimony under Oath on record that proves the drama of the fictional scripts that Timar et al. concocted for Fr Jan and others in the week(s)/month after Jan 13-16, were all clever lies and master deceits from start to finish. If a tiny tear pre-existed in this Tabernacle Veil, it was enlarged and maximized for dramatic emphasis, or the Veil was torn accidentally (since these "church ladies" are half my height) or deliberately -- by the duo. God Knows and Judgment Day is coming.
I hope, Vivian, that everyone at St Therese who was afraid to witness to the Truth or terrorized or deceived or group-hugged into silence or is hiding under a bushel basket will at least come to my Sentencing on January 12, 2011. "Be not afraid." Hear and see with your own eyes and ears before it is too late for you and yours, and all those who LIVE the Gospel, practice their Faith, protect Marriage and the family, including those Religious who LIVE the Evangelical Counsels -- and who remain Faithful Citizens in these United States of America.

Kristin,
I feel badly about the outcome. We must offer it up.
I wish at least one person would have held out so that your case could have been declared a mistrial.
This is what happened when I last served as a juror. Two of us held out for not guilty while the other eight allowed themselves to be dominated and persuaded by two overbearing, quick-to-judge personalities; their not following the court's (judge's) instructions resulted in shouting and chaos in the deliberations. I and the other person wrote separate notes to the judge, letting the court know of this juror misconduct. Case was declared a mistrial, we were sent letters of appreciation for our service, and an innocent person was kept from the found guilty. I held out under pressure for I was not going to let those other jurors convicted this person for the prosecution had not proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Do get some rest,
Vivian

The Trial
Judge Jared Moses, Dept V, 4th Floor, LA Superior Court in Alhambra, CA. Commonwealth Ave
and First Street, Alhambra, CA 91801
and First Street, Alhambra, CA 91801
I need everyone who can come and be there, to be in the courtroom from 1:30 AM to 4:30 AM (Nov 22, 23, 24 ... we break for Thanksgiving ... Nov 29, Dec 1, Dec 2, Dec 3 etc.). On one or two days we may begin court at 10:30 AM but that will be rare and only after Nov 29.
It is very crucial that you hear with your own ears directly and see with your own eyes directly what occurs in this courtroom and it is even more important to ALL of us that you be in that courtroom PRAYING ... We demonstrated how crucial silent / contemplative prayer IN THE COURTROOM is with Joe Scheidler's USSC case, amazing things take place in a court room, including the US Supreme Court, when good souls are inside the court to witness the proceedings, while at the same time, in silent (obviously non-disruptive) prayer.

There will be a ton of character assassination, defamation etc but now, it will be "on record" "under oath" and "public testimony". God Willing the law will cut through the smoke and mirrors and all the distractions; as St Thomas More pointed out -- we may still have a legal tree or even a bush or two to shield US !

(*Feast of St Elizabeth of Hungary)
This politically-motivated arrest has to do with Kristin's orthodoxy, her conservatism, her spunk, and the fact that she was 2008-2009 Co-Chair of the Alhambra CCG (Catholics for the Common Good) Prop 8/ProtectMarriage coalition (the CA ballot initiative passed in November 2008 defining marriage as an act only between a man and a woman; the initiative won a
challenge in the California Supreme Court in 2008 and is currently challenged in San Francisco's Federal District Court).
challenge in the California Supreme Court in 2008 and is currently challenged in San Francisco's Federal District Court).
Kristin has been charged with criminal trespass. However attorney David Llewellyn, Jr. of Citrus Heights, California, argues that federal law protects the right of people to attend places of religious worship without interference or intimidation by force or threat of force as an aspect of their First Amendment right to free exercise of religion.
Also, Llewellyn says, attending a Mass that is open to the general public and participating in the manner that all the other attendees participate appears to be constitutionally-protected
activity under the California Constitution. Since her demeanor and behavior at Mass was in no way disruptive (she had to be pointed out to the guards (police) by a modern-day Judas – ironically this was on Holy Thursday), Llewellyn sees no legal justification for an arrest.
Llewellyn and Sam Casey, Esq., lined up a prominent local criminal attorney, Douglas Kirk on April 9, 2009. On March 19, 2010 just prior to a trial date of March 24, Casey and Kirk referred Kristin to Jeannine Stewart, Esq. to take the 1st two (2) cases to trial turning over the $15,000 retainer raised Feb - Mar 2010 to take the 2 cases to a Jury Trial. Prosecution "withdrew" their motion for joinder to consolidate the 3 cases/arrests on Jan 21, 2010 (and the rotating [i.e., no permanent assignment] Public Defender(s) "trailed" with the 3rd case/arrest since the #3 case would "go away" with the dismissal of the 1st 2. Jeannine Stewart is a Criminal, Constitutional and Civil attorney. Defense strategy is to get the trespass charge dismissed and prosecute Constitutional, Civil and Penal Code violations for penalties, damages and legal fees.

Stewart announced "ready" for trial on May 3, July 6, and Aug 23, and again Oct 4 & Nov 10. The prosecution stalled -- "not ready". On Aug 30 a new judge took the cases, forced a "consolidation" of the 1st 2 cases/arrests (already force-consolidated by police/DA Steve Cooley-Prosecution/judge on Apr 13, 2009) WITH case # 3 -- the 2009 Oct 13 arrest so that ONLY one (1) attorney could represent Kristin for ALL 3 cases, and the 3rd case could not be dismissed without going to trial after the 1st 2 non-cases were dismissed! Stewart was retained ($15,000) to take only the first 2 cases to trial, so Stewart was essentially forced to "withdraw" and give her trial preparations to the PD/Public Defender, or Kazyak retained Stewart at $7,500 to handle the 3rd case also.
Kristin has been subject to harassment, intimidation, and now 3 arrests for her beliefs. After being escorted out of the church by two police officers, she was handcuffed and taken to the Alhambra City and LA County jails where she spent seven (7) days, barred from attending Easter Sunday and Easter Week Masses. If you know Kristin, you know that she cannot be easily intimidated. But what about the rest of us "domestic terrorists" (defined as anyone who is pro-life, pro-marriage, or owns a gun or has served in the military)? If Kristin loses this case, it paves the way for the leftists who oppose our beliefs to intimidate us – and have you and me arrested – maybe even in church as well!
Kristin was again arrested on Oct 13, 2009 a block from St Therese Church where she had parked for 6 months while waiting to join the Fatima Eucharistic Processions each 13th of the month on public sidewalk. She was praying the Rosary inside her locked car on Alhambra Rd, because she could not join her parish or a disabled Knight of Columbus for Mass and Benediction inside the church without violating bail bond and an illicit CPO.
A bench warrant issued without contacting Kristin or her attorney charged Kristin had violated a CPO/Criminal Protection Order (issued during an April 13 arraignment by judge and the prosecutors AFTER her arrests on Holy Thursday and Good Friday April 9 &10 -- Kristin was denied all calls April 10-13 from the jail and told her attorney would NOT be present in court on April 13) by receiving Holy Communion in July from her Pastor at the Carmelite Cloister Chapel of St Teresa almost a mile from her parish church and in June during Mass on Corpus Christi at the parish picnic in Garfield Park (several miles away) and during Eucharistic Fatima Processions on public sidewalks!
Oct 13, 2009 Kristin was placed in Maximum Security Isolation in prison for 12 days (she was finally released on bail bond by donors at 3AM on Oct 24, 2009). Kristin was ordered to wear the "orange" terrorist prison uniform from 2AM to 3AM prior to her release on bail and was also "straight jacket-chained" and caged alone (violent/terrorist/insanity risk) during transports to and from court hearings during those 12 days -- all 19 days in prison without benefit of Trial or Sentence, $45,000 in bail bond, without access to her attorney (save by persistence and exceptional, in fact, miraculous, intervention) !!!
Also please pray for Kristin – and our country – as we face the culture of death and the haters of the Truth, and persecution for our beliefs.

NB: This latest attack strategy against Faithful Citizenship works to isolate the individual from churches and groups designed to support and defend our 1st Amendment,
Constitutional, civil, penal and other legal protections and privileges. Our opposition prefers to avoid court litigation and substantial loses in time and money with organizations like the ADF (Alliance Defense Fund) and other well-funded 1st Amendment or Constitutional attorney groups that have a high success rate in court.

Our opposition prefers to avoid court litigation and substantial loses in time and money with organizations like the ADF (Alliance Defense Fund) and other well-funded 1st Amendment or Constitutional attorney groups that have a high success rate in court.
Instead, efforts to target, defame and criminalize Faithful Citizens through "private persons" who use the (protected) Criminal Informant/Justice System (and your tax $$$) to initiate arrests, allow the Enemy to ensure the victim will not have access to ADF or other
publicly funded civil attorneys, or a speedy trial, etc.
This abuse of our Criminal Justice/Informant System consumes your tax dollars (defers resources and attention from actual criminals and terrorists) to employ secular and state courts for attacks on religious persons and authorities while at the same time using the state to "excommunicate" (i.e., lock out/bar from their churches) Faithful Citizens, whom the Church (churches, synagogues and their own religious courts and authorities) will not "excommunicate" !

IF a clear precedent is set by WINNING these 3 cases and fining those "private persons" who did, in fact, violate our laws and constitutions, we can prevent/limit further anarchy of this type in our churches and courts by enforcing laws that already protect against and prohibit such mischief against "private property", a "place of religious worship", Faithful Citizenship, personal
reputation, and our state and federal Constitutions. Many in our military have died or will / suffer injury defending our Constitutional freedoms here and abroad -- we too can contribute our best to hold the line and preserve our Freedoms wherever God has put us in His Providence.

On or about March 5, 2009, a Catholic attorney David Belz, Esq. referred me to Constitutional attorney (CON-Law) Ron Talmo, Esq. -- who referred me to his Pro-Life "opponent" David Llewellyn, Esq, an outstanding CA Constitutional attorney who counseled me from the start of Lent 2009 (c. Mar 5) up until April 8, 2009 when David withdrew as my immediate
counsel due to distance. Both Sam Casey, Esq and Douglas Kirk, Esq have worked with and know David. Jeannine Stewart, Esq. knows each of these attorneys and studied Constitutional Law under Sam Casey and Criminal Law with Douglas Kirk at Trinity Law School in Santa Ana. Truly, my counsel, preparation and funding has been under God's Divine Providence and, at every point, awesome.

from the April 27, 2009 transcript done by Tabatha on her laptop
(Kristin) I missed the meeting on Easter Monday [April 13] because I was in chains in prison. I spent six days at the gates of Hell, and so I catechized there and helped some amazing women. The point is that this is Christ’s work. It’s not the place or the way I would have thought, or chosen, to do Christ's work. I wanted very much, expected, and asked Our Lord to make
it possible, to be here with you. At the same time, I reassured Him I was willing, content and happy to do whatever He preferred -- His Will His Way. So, He blessed me with another sort of Discipleship that Easter Monday night -- one I could not possibly have chosen or ever thought
myself worthy or capable of -- but it clearly wasn't me -- it was entirely Him -- His doing -- His Will. Ultimately, that is what this exercise is all about. We were all still together in Christ.

Client Attorney Privilege ... and communication that helps win this one for Faithful Citizens, the US Constitution, the Penal Code and Civil Law !
· February 2009 : I am being warned that since the pastor did not cave to pressure to bar me from Mass, the Sacraments and devotions last year at St Therese church; that those same individuals are now threatening the Pastor with "going to the Bishop" to get a restraining order to bar me from Mass, the Sacraments and devotions at St Therese church ... I contact canon lawyers to see what can be done to end the ongoing character assassination
· Mar 3, 2009 5:30PM I receive a list of [false] allegations for the first time in writing in a private correspondence hand delivered by the author that was not copied to (or typed by) anyone else; the author is a direct witness to the falsity/deceit of most of these allegations
· I had over 5 weeks of legal consultation (between March 3 and April 9, 2009 during which I did not return to STC for my daily Masses) while a Constitutional attorney in contact with Roman Catholic Church Tribunal and Canon lawyers, etc researched and wrote a memo and letter highlighting my Constitutional and legal protections and the prohibitions that protect my/our ... entry to a Place of Religious Worship, etc.
· I whispered to the APD (Alhambra PD) police when they came into my pew on either side of me in the church to arrest me on Holy Thursday night that I would continue praying with the rest of those in Adoration at the Altar of Repose (put my head down and continued praying as I had been); when they persisted I whispered that the Pastor was not there; they did not know the people calling them, or how their pattern of intimidation involved the police in unnecessary calls and wasted time, and that I was protected by law
· I was not permitted to call or contact my attorney until after I was arraigned (and I was told "your attorney will NOT be at your trial on [Easter] Monday" by Watch Commander Rodriguez) between my 5PM April 10 arrest on Good Friday and until the officer in the court jail hold allowed me to use his desk phone [Douglas Kirk's office does not accept collect calls] at 5PM on April 13 (after Judge Ruiz' clerk found and gave me Doug Kirk's phone number as I left the court and after the Apr 13 arraignment at 4:30 PM and a CPO was issued [even tho I was clearly the one person who really needed the protection of the law from these "private persons" and trusted that I had it] to "protect" the "private persons" who used the CIS to call police and arrest me, based on nothing -- and nothing more than hearsay from DA prosecutors and 2 arrests made by "private persons" on Holy Thursday and Good Friday; and their demand that the Pastor be included in this "protection" even tho the Pastor was absent during the arrests; could have no legal or canonical involvement in excommunicating me; and none of those listed had "cause" to need "protection" as I did not have any social contact with these "private persons" in or out of the church)
· I had gone to the APD police station on the morning of April 9 to show the Police Chief (but was intercepted by Watch Commander Rodriguez) David Llewellyn, Esq's letter of April 1, 2009 to Fr Jan Lundberg, OCD and to remind the police of the pattern of harassment, intimidation, injury to church property that I'd already reported for the record over the last year, including all the incidents dismissed in my favor or simply reported (i.e., the Protect Marriage sign slashings, mutilations, and thefts in Oct 2008; some months later, I rec'd an email form APD police records asking who the "owner" of the church was, which seemed strange at the time -- God is the "owner" of His House; we who are the "Living Stones" and who practice our Faith and support the Church are the "owners" and builders both spiritually and materially, and the Archdiocese holds a property deed donated and specified by a devout donor -- the Carmelites have Vows of Poverty and reside at the invitation of the Bishop and my CA Driver's License still shows 510 N El Molino Street as my original mailing address and "residence" since I received mail at the Church Office from the time Fr Jan Lundberg moved me from Costa Mesa to Alhambra and into the old Convent on Oct 15, 2007 -- so the matter of "ownership" of the church when I was reporting vandalism and property loss seemed an odd, irrelevant and a curious question in late Dec 2008/early Jan/Feb 2009 coming from the police records archive -- not that the gang members bused in from East LA into our Parish and neighborhood or the "private persons" doing the busing were ever tracked down -- but maybe someone knows where a fellow named "Mucous" is these days and could subpoena "Mucous" as a defense witness -- Jim DeTardo and I had a wonderful chat with these 9-10-12 year-old gang members on Oct 19, 2008 while I was registering voters for the election deadline on the STC church steps during our Parish/Alhambra Family Festival).
· Sep 13 -- I went to the APD station to ask for the badge number and name of a police officer that tried to intimidate and harass me while I was praying the Rosary in my locked, parked car on a public street at c. 8:50 PM while waiting for a friend to leave the last Benediction inside St Therese church; other witnesses saw this officer outside his patrol car watching the Eucharistic Procession through the neighborhood sidewalks of Alhambra; Watch Commander Rodriguez gives me the name and badge number on the station phone and then comes out to threaten me with 3 weeks in prison for violating a "restraining order" for St Therese church which, I reminded WC Rodriguez, "never existed" (prior to my arrests on Apr 9 & 10). A week later Rodriguez initiates "conversations" and issues a bench warrant and I am arrest on Oct 13 praying the Rosary in my locked car at the same location where I have parked since July 13 c. 8:22PM because it was pouring rain and the "Fatima Eucharistic Procession/Benedictions" remained inside St Therese church that one night in the 6 months between May 13 and Oct 13.
· I was not permitted to call my attorney after my arrest on Oct 13, 2009. The DA Prosecutors/Judge Ruiz had contacted Kirk and told me in court Kirk was not taking this case ! Kirk had no contact with me until 5:15 PM Oct 14 after the court arraignment ended, when I was allowed to call Kirk from the court jail hold desk once again. The officers cut off our conversation after a few minutes and Kirk had to call them back and tell them that he had the right by law to talk to me, etc. We were given 15 minutes. Since there was no "restraining order" for the first 2 arrests; this was clearly an attempt to eliminate the first 2 cases and my private attorney, and invent another case with an illicit CPO (Criminal Protection Order) against A PRACTICING CATHOLIC and LAW ABIDING CITIZEN (and against a PASTOR/Priest of the Church) with no prior criminal history or arrests despite the fact that I have been involved in Pro Life prayer and counseling at abortuaries since June 6, 1970 and whose presence with Christ at Mass and in/during the reception of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament or while in Procession with Christ in the Blessed Sacrament is being barred and made CRIMINAL because "private persons" use the Criminal Informan System to further their own political and/or personal agendas.
· I was placed in Maximum Security Isolation; straight jacket chained and isolated for court transports for 12 days of the 19 days served without trial or sentence; prison guards forgot I was in the cell and forgot to feed me; muttered that I had been cleared for General Population so what was I doing there(?); and finally during my last hour prior to my release on $45,000 bail ($10,000 for arrests 1 & 2 and $35,000 for arrest 3) ordered me to wear the Orange terrorist prison uniform (my intake uniform had not been changed for 12 days) and guards repeated questions during that last hour : what color uniform was I wearing; why I was in that section of the prison for the criminally insane and suicidal; and why I was wearing Orange. [On the last, I simply replied I did not know because I had not been tried or sentenced and I expected release on bail shortly. I was escorted away and released about 15 minutes later.].

Lisa Ling Goes Inside a Convent - Oprah.com: "Imagine if you were asked to give up your career, possessions, sex life and the possibility of ever having children. It's a way of life many women worldwide gladly accept in order to serve God.
There are more than 60,000 Catholic nuns in the United States, with 750,000 worldwide. As nuns, sisters take three strict vows: chastity, poverty and obedience to God and their church. Nuns believe they are married to Jesus Christ, and some wear wedding rings to symbolize their devotion.
Their traditional clothing is called a habit, which consists of a white cap, veil and long tunic. Nuns consider this their wedding dress.
Not all nuns live the same lifestyle. Cloistered nuns rarely leave the confines of their monastery and pray up to 12 hours a day. Some sisters choose an independent path, which means they live alone, go to college, pursue careers and don't wear a habit.
