Why I Am Running for Public Office
We have a government and mainstream media under the control of the military-industrial-prison complex and a few hundred powerful and rich people who comprise the Deep State. They are real and too be feared. They act to smear and frame those who might successfully oppose them. When that fails, they have orchestrated the deaths of outspoken leaders such as JFK, RFK, MLK and Malcolm X. They attack imprison, exterminate whistleblowers and activists like Karen Silkwood, Brian Willson, Judi Bari, Mumia Abu Jamal, Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, Daniel Ellsberg, Ralph Nader, among others. They conspire to keep or remove from political office those who would defy them publicly, such as Dennis Kucinich, Cynthia McKinney and Bernie Sanders since 2015.
The Deep State relentlessly promotes racial, religious, and social issues to divide, control and conquer us. The Republican and Democratic Parties along with the Corporate Media have become the Deep State tools to subvert us. Only when we understand this will we have a chance to unite and slay this demon that would willingly destroy us and the world for power and wealth.
With the Corporate Media long censoring opposing viewpoints of the government narrative on important issues, now we are seeing massive flagrant censorship in social media platforms at a level only seen in the most authoritative of governments.
I will be a bullhorn exposing the corruption in Congress and all our government agencies!

Beliefs
I have been a Peace and Social Justice Advocate most all of my adult life. This has been my vocation, my purpose in life. I have never been paid for my vocation. I have contributed my own money and time to my vocation. I have primarily acted independently, but often in coordination with other groups or organizations. I have been official members of some groups, but also so closely active with some that I would qualify as an active member.
I am agnostic and I respect all religions. I, however, find that most people do not really practice the most sacred values of their religions as to peace, loving thy neighbor and doing no harm to others. This is particularly evident in the way people blindly believe corporate media and then vote for government officials that promote war and violence, destroy the environment, and ignore the basic needs of the people for a fair and just life!

My purpose in life is to help make the world a better place for everyone and every living creature.
In closing, I would prefer people use critical thinking in looking closer at the issues I am highlighting in my website and campaign. Rather than win any election, I would love to see people finally vote based on the issues rather than blindly supporting Democrat or Republican candidates. Both Parties are owned by the Deep State. If a candidate is financed by corporate big money interests, you need to be very concern about whose interests they will promote. It probably won’t be yours!

My activist days actually began in earnest when I was the last of the draftees in October 1972. After training, I was assigned to the U.S. Army Signal Corp in South Korea. My investigation of corruption in the Korean orphanages, lead me to U.S. support of the South Korean dictatorship of Park Chung Hee. In 1974, I began writing letters to Congress and President Gerald Ford. My letters were usually signed by 5-6 other soldiers. On my 4-page letter to the President, had over 100 signatures from my base. In July 1975, I was abruptly and secretly removed from Korea by the U.S. Military command at the demands of the Korean Government. My official removal orders stated that I was a discredit and embarrassment to the United States of America.
In 1979, when I learned of my wife’s sexual harassment by her Director at the SF Community College ESL Division, I joined her in a long a 6-year lawsuit. Radical Woman in SF and WOASH (Woman Organized Against Sexual Harassment) helped create a dynamic support team to help my wife in her struggle and in exposing the reality of sexual harassment to the general public. These were the early years of the sexual harassment movement. We were also both involved with the San Jose NOW.
According to many lawyers who became aware of my wife’s case, it was considered one of the worst sexual harassment incidents they had ever heard. In September 1985, my wife died from the severe emotional stress that had aggravated and damaged her health. But justice and the legal system often are at odds. Laws passed to protect corporations and government entities quickly stole most the potential money damages from my wife’s case, causing our latest attorney to quit. Eventually, forced to settle without the trial my wife and I had wanted.
I was introduced to Nuremberg Actions (NA) on September 1, 1987 when Peace activist Brian Willson and two others Rev. David Duncomb and WWII Veteran Duncan Murphy were run over and assaulted by an ammunition train at the Concord Naval Weapons Station. I soon became a full-time member of the two-year 24/7 vigil action in front of the Naval base. Brian’s words became our rallying cry “We are not worth more; They are not worth less!” With over 500 hundred arrests, we blocked every military ammunition train for 2 years along with countless weapons trucks. These weapons were mostly destined for right wing dictatorships oppressing their own people in Central America.
I am a 9/11 truther! Since the release of the 9/11 Commission report in 2005 which I consider a flat out confession by my government, I have offered an unclaimed reward of $100,000 to the first person who can prove or at least demonstrate to my satisfaction that my government did not plan, manage, execute and cover-up the events around the September 11, 2001 attacks. My website is http://www.911reward.org.
I was arrested along with a couple dozen others including Daniel Ellsberg and the President of the Pacific Stock Exchange. The invasions and occupations of Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria are all War Crimes in violation of our Constitution and International Law. Our overt involvement in the coups in Libya, Honduras, Ukraine, Bolivia, and failed attempt in Venezuela are also War Crimes. Every American should be ashamed. With NO respect for national sovereignty and Human rights, we have a terrorist government run by the Deep State.
I have been arrested about 40 times most recently protesting U.S. drone assassination program. I am also active with the Oscar Grant Committee to defend and support families of police violence and abuse.

General Philosophy & My bio
I have been a Peace and Social Justice Advocate most all of my adult life. This has been my vocation, my purpose in life. I have never been paid for my vocation. I have contributed my own money and time to my vocation. I have primarily acted independently, but often in coordination with other groups or organizations. I have been official members of some groups, but also so closely active with some that I would qualify as an active member.
I am currently mostly active with 3 groups: Veterans For Peace, Code Pink , Oscar Grant Committee. I have also been involved with Our Revolution, Diablo Greens, Mt. Diablo Peace & Justice Center, Crosses of Lafayette and ACCE of Bay Point.
With VFP and Code Pink I have protested against my country’s illegal immoral Drone Assassination Program with vigils and arrests at both Beale AFB and Creech AFB, Nevada.
I was involved with Our Revolution Contra Costa as a founder and Board member from 2017 until I ran for Congress in 2020. I was among thousands active outside the 2016 Democratic Party Convention in Philadelphia in support of Bernie Sanders.
I am active with the Oscar Grant Committee especially these past 3-4 years. The OGC works with and on behalf of families who have had their loved ones senselessly murdered or attacked by police.
In late 2007, when Loaves and Fishes temporarily closed I personally fed 20-40 people for several months. Later I and the homeless community built a community garden which I managed for 5 years.
In 2006, I became involved with the Crosses of Lafayette which represents the now over 8000 American young men and women who have died in the illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan according to our Constitution and International Law.
I have been involved in several environmental actions concerning the approaching Climate Catastrophe including an arrest at Monsanto Headquarters concerning Round-up’s Glyphosate poison and their GMO terminator seeds.
When the Veterans for Peace made a call for veterans to gather at Standing Rock, South Dakota in late November 2016 in support of the Sioux and other Native Americans fighting to halt the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), I made the journey with two other fellow activists.
(NA) on September 1, 1987, when Peace activist Brian Willson and two others were run over and assaulted by an ammunition train at the Concord Naval Weapons Station. I soon became a full-time member of Nuremberg Actions and Peace House manager of the two-year 24/7 vigil action in front of the Naval base. With over 500 hundred arrests, we blocked every military ammunition train for 2 years along with countless weapons trucks. Weapons were mostly destined for right wing dictatorships oppressing their own people in Central America. I currently own and live in that Peace House ever since the action wound down in late 1989.
I was accepted into elite Northwestern University after High School. I realized later that I had probably benefitted from Affirmative Action. I and another classmate were the first students from our poor working-class neighborhood who had been accepted into Northwestern.
I was in college during the height of the anti-Vietnam war movement with a low draft number staring me in the face and never got really involved against the war.
My activist days began in earnest when I was the last of the draftees in October 1972. After training, I was assigned to the U.S. Army Signal Corp in South Korea. There I became involved with Korean orphanages and investigated some corruption.
Eventually I was investigating the U.S. support of the South Korean dictatorship of Park Chung Hee. In 1974, I began exposing the dictatorship in letters to Congress and President Gerald Ford. In July 1975, I was secretly removed from Korea by the U.S. Military at request of Korean Government. My official orders stated that I was a discredit and embarrassment to the United States of America.
During my removal processing, I was to publicly disobey my First Sargent numerous times always forcing him to allow Un Chong (my fiancée and Korean language teacher) to be with me. In the back of a jeep on that two-hour ride to Seoul that night we exchanged vows with rubber band rings. Separated for 1½ years, my Korean love, Un Chong was finally able to come to the U.S. and we married in February 1977 in SF.
My wife was sexually harassed by her Director at the SF Community College ESL Division. During a long a 6-year lawsuit, SF Radical Woman and WOASH (Woman Organized Against Sexual Harassment) helped my wife. These were the early years of the sexual harassment movement. We were involved with the San Jose NOW.
During this time, I joined a rent control initiative on the ballot in Sunnyvale, and later unsuccessfully ran for City Council seat.
According to many lawyers who became aware of my wife’s case, it was considered one of the worst sexual harassment incidents they had ever heard. My wife’s health declined eventually requiring Kidney Dialysis. In September 1985, she died from the severe emotional stress that had aggravated and damaged her health.
I was slowly recovering from the loss of my wife when Brian Wilson was attacked by the train at the Concord Naval Weapons Station (CNWS).
In March of 1989, I joined a caravan to El Salvador. When I returned the Peace House was for sale and Nuremberg Actions had mostly ended. With money from Un Chong’s Lawsuit, I was able to purchase the Peace House.
I had lived with a large family in El Salvador and had developed a romantic relationship with the eldest daughter. With a friend who spoke Spanish and after two harrowing weeks I helped bring her and 3 relatives into the U.S in December 1989. I married Felicita and a year later she brought her 3 young children to the U.S. The children are now all grown. I had a cordial divorce with my wife 20 years ago. However, I am still close with everyone.
I am a 9/11 truther! Since the release of the 9/11 Commission report in 2005 I have offered a reward of $100,000 to the first person who can demonstrate to my satisfaction that my government did not plan, manage, execute and cover-up the events around the September 11, 2001 attacks. My website is http://www.911reward.org.
I joined millions across the globe protesting the impending invasion of Iraq in 2003.
