OPERATION ROTTEN TOMATO: Fraud in the Food Industry

Please refer to the FBI news service press release on OPERATION ROTTEN TOMATO.
Price-fixing, racketeering and bribery are the charges on SK Foods in California. Now that
the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has been at it recently, with their fingers in many
investigations with the FBI and Federal Trade Commission. Yay for all those who want
a more transparent food industry. Remember what they did for alcohol drinkers during
the days when alcohol was contraband?

Now - all y'all have to do is build a political, economic, social platform that generates sig-
nificant interest and motives for the public sector, government and commercial news
groups while the ignorance, idiocy and indifference of the nintendo library and what-
should-the-color-of-my-hair-be-this-week crowd searches for the next best sale on cell
phones. Whoa! Go to it, folks! It may change your relationship to food and eating.

Growing food is not as easy as it seems. In Hawaii, many grew up with fruit trees and a
few vegetable favorites in their yards, but cultivation of sustainable, quality food is a very
tiresome, burdensome and often times harrowing activity due to competitive stakeholders
in the corporate mono-food industry of Hawaii.

The only thing to say about Hawaii's dying sugar industry, is that they did achieve a small
margin of sustainability all by their lonesome by using fermented cane for bagasse energy.
See their internet site for more on this isolated hype.

More lies and audiotapes . . .

The mediocre and the not-so-serious want a little fun. They want to find a
slogan that makes their juices flow, their stomachs jiggle and their heads spin.
Nothing surprises nor shocks them when it comes to human evil. They just
want to have fun. They have seen it all, I do mean all, and they don't know
why others are so paralyzed with fear. (yawn)

So what if pharmaceuticals are creating software technology to manufacture
drugs with the use of genetic material. Ooh. Soon designer drugs will be able
to change your birth right characteristics. Watch out plastic surgeons and
diet programs. Soon compulsive eating, drinking, smoking, fucking and all
other acts of self-destruction will be profitable for a few patented drugs with
a few pharmaceuticals. Oh, excuse the language.

Fern has never had problems with addiction. Many of her compadres have
no problems with addiction despite the weight of responsibility for many lives,
despite their own trauma and loss and despite all unfairness found in society.
The wah-wah's of society want you to know that their problems are worse
and more important than anyone else's. Yeah, right.

Healing is a subjective process. I say dignity is the only means to healing in
modern society where constitutional rights have provided us the means to
explore the ineffabable and the unknown. Dignity lies in acknowledgment of
truth about who we are, what we do and how others are impacted by this on
a daily level when we are in a position of power. How can anyone live while
undermining the dignity of others? Well, it's about character, ain't it?

Fern wants you to know that those who have known her and obsessed about
her are those who never asked enough questions about who she is, how she
lived, never took the time to find out in a process that acknowledged that she
has her own journey, her own priorities, her own needs and her own right to
say "no" anytime, to anyone under any circumstances in defense of her dignity.

If you must know, Yukie Yamada has worked as professional and volunteer
for many years with at-risk populations. She has concluded that this job should
be done by others after her work with violence facilitation, diversity and diversity/
workplace productivity training, applied movement education, HIV prevention
training, women's health education and critical care nursing.

She has refused to license herself in the State of Hawaii since 2006 after having
documented and verified fraud, waste and abuse in all practicing areas for a
number or years as an employee and independent contractor. Your hair would
stand on end knowing how blatant and prevalent these activities are in Hawaii.

As for working with those prone to narrow diagnosis, she worked a few months
with male junvenile sex offenders in a certifiable program that integrated 5 different
models in dealing with reducing sexual violence. It is claimed that while most inmates
continue in criminal activities, they do not return to sexual violence. This model is
the taxpayer's option to a very expensive incarceration and recidivism.

Those who qualified filled a specific profile that included drug addiction, learning
disabilities, sexual offender status, and other types of indicators used by program
managers to find the most specific and tailored treatment for this group.

On a daily level, male participants who lived in a partial incarceration setting, were
required to ask verbal permission with any request to any staff such as getting a
drink of water, walking from one room to another, going to the bathroom and when
they wanted to approach the desk area for information. They had individual and
group sessions that articulated the specific means of committing sexual violence
as a predator. For example, "I used deception, manipulation, coercion and group
pressure" to force my victim "so-and-so" into sexual activity.

This repeated formula was matched with thinking process exercises that taught
them to identify when they felt bodily or emotionally at stress,with written and
documented progress of their personal awareness. They also made taped state-
ments of deviant sexual fantasy accompanied by breaking ammonia vials open on
their own to de-condition themselves. This two-year program was contradictory
in nearby suburban neighborhoods, as you can imagine.

I left this position after 3 months with a hand-written statement to the manager
about incidents that indicated risk and the potential for a break-out. The capacity
for 10 males included a multi-level administration staff with all forms of counseling
and included a special education instructor for half-day school courses. The daily
staff on the weekends included a nurse site manager and only two large male mental
health technicians who worked about 80 hours/week at two jobs to sustain a livable
salary for their families. It is a very expensive program justified because the prisons
in Hawaii are so full that inmates are being "boarded" in Mainland prison industrial
complex facilities.

Yukie has interest in working with plants and information with animals as friends
in the future. Her work in holding officials accountable for corruption is her favorite
activity these days after having been victimized by systems who do not value the
service and commitment of those who do the most important jobs to maintain the
collective spirit and safety of our drug-laden communities.

Yukie sent a series of comprehensive complaints to the Government Accountability
Fraud Office regarding such practices, including her own experiences with criminal
abuse in health systems, since 2007. The GAO Fraud Office likely knows that Hawaii's
HUD Office is already being investigated for insider trading for their "secret little" grant
network. Their DHS, DOH and DOE Offices have been under scrutiny for their Consumer
Directed Personal Programs for severe, pervasive abuses and violations, including violations
against service providers who went over and beyond to report risks, threats and crimes.

this ain't no liveleak.com

Dear Monster,

Recently, I found an old acquaintance on liveleak.com internet news site. He and I
both worked as Critical Care Nurses at Mt. Zion in San Francisco while taking leave
from the country to travel. His mountain climbing of Everest and other peaks left
him wanting to live and work in a rural place in Afghanistan.

After he became famous for having written a book about the decade he spent in a
rural area near Warizstan, I saw him on various cable news programs trying to build
support for certain types of humanitarian development.

I wondered out loud if this type of publicity actually causes more harm than good
for those he served. Frequently, there is an exoticizing of foreign efforts for children
even if those efforts are well-conceived. I wondered also if he had experienced some
type of pressure to create public relations statements based on those who provided
him this profit-making opportunity.

News systems, in particular those that exoticize foreign cultures and peoples can
be one of the worst types of exploitation known in modern culture. Think about the
impact of a hurried and opportunistic venture to influence the hearts and minds of
a completely different nation that is seeped in its own conflicts of tradition.

I would not want any liveleak.com broadcast on any activity deemed to be for the
sake of humanity given what we know to be profit interests in news media, however,
in a case where war conflicts are being actualized without real coverage by the main-
stream press, maybe his example led to saving lives. It's difficult to know really.

Voyeurism is not human nature. It is a perverse form of control for those who see
that others are without their own presence in modernity. This perversity may be
the root of why the prevalence of surveillance equipment/technology in the public
is more like a gambling enterprise in that it inspires the worst of human nature.

Self sovereignty in healing

Recent developments exposing the closely knit collusion between those in proximity
to daily activities with so-called not-so-intelligence surveillance networks impact the
ability for me to live a life of privacy and independence. Intense curiosity by those
who presume that they are in control of action mechanisms with wire terror and fraud
are now confronting their own vulnerabilities. My experience is a symptom of a larger
problem of societal denial and government ineptitude.

It is likely that questions about my own regenerative and healing process are being
asked. With sustained trauma and violence, including psychological violence, my frame
of reference is absolutely based on an engrained sense of living in country where law
and reason with guaranteed rights. In this context, being female of Japanese American
descent determines that my process of healing is directly linked to assuming personal,
institutional and financial power. Exacting a process of justice has been, and still is the
only priority I hold as necessary for this healing.

Political blood lust and thirst fuel my perspective when dealing with larger system
failures and corruption. Some quickly define my healing process through their own
limited generational viewpoint of a female experience being violated by male-based
institutional practices and unspoken mores. They consider that my healing must entail
finding "true romantic" affiliation as in a Western-type B-movie happy ending. They
diminish my role as a being fully equipped to participate in systems of power without
the exaggerated male hero figure who is often frustrated with his own disempowerment.

While contempt for female experience in Hawaii is found on all institutional levels,
on a social level, I have not had problems with men except for those with a deep
addictive process. Most men recognize when a female will not tolerate abuse and
violence.

Class-based contempt is different from gender-based contempt. The issue of class
is one of the most clandestine forms of subjugation as exemplified in my situation
with those of the white-collar professional groups, such as attorneys, physicians
and academics. They, of course, presume their knowledge is with a greater under-
standing of any political and personal situation.

Any expressed anger in my case is justified and expected on my part. My outrage
is part of the emotional fuel that allows me to appropriately channel my anger toward
those who are directly responsible for abuses and deprivation. Misuse of power and
anger is found frequently with those who believe they are above the law. They are
wrong in my case and they are identifiable.

Curiosity about the loves and losses of my life is probably the source of extrapolated
legend-making idiots who want to define my experience in terms of a movie script
when, in fact, the stakes are so terribly high that any attempt to diminish this experience
to some type of commercially viable profit-making project while justice has not been
served is likely to come crashing down in real life. Take that as a promise.
