Schwab & US Government Use Facebook Patsies

Included here is an example of how the US Government & corporations use social networking services for stalking & entrapment operations. As shown elsewhere, utilizations of dating sites is the primary method of hooking men up with undercover women whose purpose is to set them up in sting operations. Following is an example of how Facebook was used in Charles Schwab the US government to manipulate the author. A letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerman follows.

We believe it should be illegal to use social networking services to deliberately set up sting operations (create illegal activities) to entrap innocent people. This is how the US Government created the situation with which they trapped Julian Assange. Undercover whores take turns inviting him to their homes to sleep with them, and then complaint to the Swedish police that he abused them. Their complaints might be okay except for the fact they were being paid, probably by Karl Rove, to deliberately lead Assange so they could file complaints. If this isn’t crazy enough, the only charges against Assange was that he jumped bail.  More serious charges await him in the US, where freedom of speech and the press are the foundations of the country. Ha ha ha ha ha ha…..

From Wayne Pierce’s book

June 29, 2015
Charles R. Schwab & the US government have conspired from the start to try to convince me that Kim was a pathological liar and everything she told me about her relationship with Schwab was false. Schwab’s corporate attorneys and the FBI have tried to convince me Schwab doesn’t know Kim or me. As everyone knows, if this were true Schwab would waste no time suing Kim and me for defamation of character and my books would be pulled from Amazon.

In my response to Schwab’s threats I have told his attorneys to proceed with their lawsuit because I would be happy to meet Mr. Schwab in court. It’s been fifteen years and I still haven’t heard from them.

Now if I had been misled by Kim, and indeed she was mentally ill, as undercover FBI agents and her family members have led me to believe (see Facebook Messages below), it seems that someone from Mr. Schwab’s office or the US government (in response to my many letters) would contact me and so advise me. Nope: No one from Mr. Schwab’s office or the US government have ever offered to discuss these matters–except when they accused me of attempting to kill Mr. Schwab (see Bomb Hoax).
What Americans are coming to realize is that their corporations and government operate a massive propaganda machine that pumps out pure bullshit.

On this site I have posted Schwab’s corporate letters in which he lies and denies he knows Kim or me. I have also posted some of Kim’s emails which convincingly prove Schwab and his corporate attorneys are bullshitters. In my books I publish numerous stories about the many sting and entrapment operations Schwab and the US government have subjected me to. If indeed Kim has been a pathological liar, as Schwab and the FBI claim, why have they spent fifteen years refusing to talk with me, instead attempting to silence me by locking me up in Solitary for the rest of my life?

In April 2010, many years after Schwab forced Kim to leave me, I left messages for Kim, her family members, and a few friends on their Facebook sites. I left messages enquiring about Kim’s health & wellbeing. Though Kim did not respond, I received the following Facebook messages supposedly from her daughter and sister.

From Kim’s daughter Donya Cobb on April 7, 2010:

True to her cold-hearted nature there was no salutation, she shows no empathy, and lies through her teeth.

***

I really wanted to restrain myself from responding to you. Please know that this will be my first, last, and only response I will ever make. You are a very sad man—I am sorry that you have nothing better to do than this. It has been 8 years that you have been writing crazy letters with NO proof to back them up, just some crazy stories told to you by one person and only one person.

I want you to ask yourself one thing—what proof do you really have that Schwab knew my mother? Did you ever meet him? Talk to him? See an email from him? I’ve never met Schwab, my aunts and sister have never met him. I have never heard anything of Micron or Varian Corporation until I read your mentions of them. My grandparents never made enough money to put their children through college, let alone have any ties to Micron or Varian Corporations, they were both born in small Arkansas towns and eventually moved to Boise where my grandfather worked hard to support his family with a small electrical business.

I don’t know where any of these crazy stories came from. I am sorry that you believed any of these stories and your crazy conspiracy theory, but if you step back and really question, and I mean ask yourself if there is solid proof to anything that you’ve been told and ask yourself could this all be false, I think you will see it is. I am sorry this has happened to you and that you believe it to be true, but it is well past time that you let it all go and focus your time and energy on something productive. I have no ill will towards you, but I would ask that you never contact me again. I don’t care to relive my mother’s untruths any longer.

Is it not interesting that even though Donya says she’s been aware of my “crazy letters” for the past eight years, she just now decides to let me know that her mother is a pathological liar? If indeed her mother is such a liar and everything I had written about her and Schwab was false, why the curt manner with me? A lot had happened, so why not chat on the phone or meet in person so we could discuss it? Knowing what I had been through, if she were for real, it seems she would show some empathy for what I had been through. Nope.

Most importantly, if Kim really was lying about her relationship with Schwab, why hadn’t he sued Kim for defamation of character? Why hadn’t he sued me for defamation of character, as his corporate attorneys threatened in their letters?

US corporations and government are not founded on honesty and facts, but propaganda and bullshit. The FBI used Donya as a patsy and Facebook as the medium to spread false information.

Facebook Message from Kim’s Sister, Karla Slattery, April 17, 2010

In my Facebook message to Kim’s sister, Karla Slattery, I mentioned that Kim and I had stayed at their family’s vacation home in Cannon Beach, which Kim had told me was managed by her brother. One would have to be extremely naïve to believe Karla would sit down and write the following lengthy Facebook message about her sister eight years after I filed complaints against Schwab. I believe Schwab and Obama were also using Karla and Kim as patsies.

Wayne,
Managing a place in Oregon is far different from owning it. I do not know if my brother owns or manages property in Cannon Beach. You need to contact him about that, but I doubt that he’ll reply to you because he and Kim are estranged because of all of the lies that she has told over the years.

The untruths about my family told to you by Kim are just the tip of the iceberg. She never knew Schwab, something that Donya and I have been trying to get you to believe. After Sam Haines’ death in June 2000, Kim was absolutely devastated. They were heavily in debt from running the B&B at a loss for several years and Kim had to use most of Sam’s life insurance to pay off that debt. With the help of friends and family, she continued to run the B&B until the end of the season and then I went up and helped her close down the business. She rented the B&B as a residence, which covered the mortgage payment, but she had no other source of income She was scared to death about how she was going to support herself and was also grieving the loss of her one (and only) true love—Sam. Whenever Kim gets into a situation like this (insecure, scared, helpless), she envelops herself in a fantasy world. She has done it in the past and did it after Sam’s death. For whatever reason she decided to make Schwab the center of this fantasy. I have no idea why she chose him, but she did. It’s very easy to get information about someone as public as Schwab, so everything she told you about him was based on what she found on the Internet and added to that with her imagination (i.e., the lies about our family and her financial situation).

Donya and I actually believed Kim’s story about Schwab until you called Donya one day and asked her to get in touch with Schwab to ask him to stop harassing Kim. Donya didn’t know how to contact Schwab (having never met him), so she called Keith Johnson because Kim had told Donya and I that she met Schwab through Keith. He was supposedly a neighbor of Keith’s in Rancho Santa Fe and [she] told us she met Schwab at a cocktail party at Keith’s house. So Donya called Keith to get Schwab’s telephone number and was absolutely stunned when Keith told her that he didn’t know Schwab. He said that his niece worked for Schwab in San Francisco, and maybe he could get his number from her. Donya didn’t know what to say and told Keith not to bother getting the number. After hanging up from talking to Keith, Donya immediately called me to tell me what she had just learned. I was equally stunned. Donya and I started comparing stories that Kim had told us about her relationship with Schwab and we began to see holes and things that didn’t make sense. For example, before my husband and I went to Africa in 2002, Kim was staying with us so that she could house and dog sit for us. She told us that she was going to Switzerland with Schwab while we were gone. I asked her who was going to take care of our dog, and she said that Schwab had arranged for a pet sitter.

Please note: This really gets good when Karla says Kim told her that Schwab uses code name Wayne. She also says they called Keith Johnson and he says he doesn’t know Schwab. The lies are stacking up. In my book I publish emails from Keith Johnson, in which he which he tells me about his friendship with Schwab. We think these silly stories were concocted by Schwab’s secret service agents.

She also told my husband and me that Schwab was very security conscious and used the code name “Wayne,” so that if anyone called by the name of “Wayne,” it was really Schwab. One day I answered the phone and a man’s voice said “This is Wayne for Kim.” I handed the phone to Kim and thought, “Wow, I just talked to Schwab!” Before we left for our trip, Kim’s email account wasn’t working so she used mine. I noticed many emails from “Wayne” and assumed these were from Schwab. My curiosity got the best of me and I read some of these emails. At first I was confused, because she was telling “Wayne” (aka Schwab) who Keith Johnson was. This didn’t make any sense. Why would she be telling Schwab who Keith was when she met Schwab through him? I read a few more emails and realized that “Wayne” was some other guy, not Schwab. I didn’t say anything to Kim, because I wanted to think about this before confronting her. When we returned from our trip to Africa, she told us that she had met a man by the name of Wayne and was thinking about marrying him. Well, at least she was admitting that she knew someone named Wayne, but I was shocked about her marriage plans and cautioned her not to do anything on the rebound because she was still grieving for Sam. I asked her how her trip to Switzerland went, and she said, “Not well, in fact, I’m going to break it off with Schwab.” Shortly after our return I found a document on my computer that Kim had created—it was a To-Do list, and contained things like, buy candles, clean house, research Switzerland. Research Switzerland? Why would she need to research Switzerland if she went with Schwab who undoubtedly planned every minute of the trip? I immediately suspected that she never went to Switzerland and had made up the whole story. She had lied to me many times in the past, so I began to wonder if anything she had told me about Schwab was true. My suspicions continued to grow, but when I learned that Keith didn’t know Schwab, I confronted Kim and asked her why she had lied to us about knowing Schwab. In a very tearful conversation she said that she was extremely depressed after Sam’s death and her only way of dealing with life was to make up this fantasy life. She immediately ceased talking about Schwab around us, but she didn’t stop weaving her fantasy with you. The day the FBI called her to ask her about her relationship with Schwab, she realized that she had taken this thing way too far and called me to tell me how scared she was. But she told the FBI the truth—she never met Schwab and made the whole thing up.

I still love Kim in spite of her many lies, even though they have caused harm to many, including you. To this day, Keith Johnson and several other people still think Kim had a relationship with Schwab. But Donya, Margie, and I know the truth. I have never written to you to tell you these things, because I didn’t feel it was my place. Kim should have told you. But when I read your website, I couldn’t let these lies sit out there for the public to see. I hope you believe what I’m telling you. Everything you know about Schwab and our family came from a single source—Kim. Donya tried to tell you to try to find proof of their relationship from some other source than Kim, because Donya knew you wouldn’t be able to find anything because it never existed. I’m glad to see that you took down your website for correction, because you need to remove the stuff about Kim and Schwab and all that crap about Micron. Kim was broke and devastated after Sam died and she did what she thought she had to do to survive. Keith was Sam’s best friend, and before he died he asked Keith to take care of Kim. And he did. Keith offered her a job at Fieldstone and helped her buy her house in San Diego. Kim got through this horrible period in her life with the help of friends & family and I think she’s finally at peace. She still misses Sam (we all do—he was a wonderful man) but she has gotten on with her life and put this awful chapter behind her. My advice is for you to do the same.

Karla’s message is a totally bizarre concoction of nonsense and bullshit, and I wondered why she also waited so long to let me know her sister was a pathological liar. If her claims that everything her sister told me about Schwab were false, especially with the publication of my website, why hadn’t Schwab brought a defamation lawsuit against Kim instead of making threats against me? Then there was Schwab’s bomb hoax in August 2003. If Kim and Keith did not know Schwab, why did she call to tell me Schwab and Keith both told her they thought I had planted the bombs?

How was it that three days after Kim told me about Schwab’s accusations, the FBI questioned me and told me Schwab had told them he thought I was the one who planted the bombs? If Kim’s comments about him were false, why would Schwab take it out on me in this manner and try to have me imprisoned?

Most importantly, if everything I was reporting to Schwab and the US government was false, why had city, county, state, and federal government officials refused to talk with me, beginning with the FBI back in August 2002? It was my opinion that my initial complaints against Schwab were serious enough that, if investigation revealed my accusations were true and this became public knowledge, it would rock financial markets around the world. If my allegations were false, it seems the Bush or Obama administrations would be quick to discuss matters with me and put it to rest. Again, if indeed I was making false statements about Schwab, his corporate attorneys would waste no time taking legal action against me. However, all they did was try to bully me into silence. The big question for me was, who chose to use Kim’s daughter and sister as patsies in this effort to persuade me to drop my efforts against Schwab? I decided to write to Attorney General Eric Holder and complain about these underhanded tactics.
The FBI used Karla as a patsy and Facebook as the medium to spread false information.

Subject: George W. Bush–Charles R. Schwab conspiracy to obstruct justice
Attachments: Facebook letter from Kim’s daughter and sister, June 17, 2003
Letter to Keith Johnson & his June 23, 2002 reply
Kim Haines’ personal address book

Dear Attorney General Holder,

Because President Obama’s administration has never discussed this case with me, I have no way of knowing whether our president has become part of the conspiracy to protect Charles R. Schwab from our system of justice. However, the blatant efforts by Charles R. Schwab and the US government to continue to cover up their crimes would appear quite reckless—if President Obama was not part of this conspiracy.

Schwab, Bush, and President Obama have had almost eight years to destroy the evidence, change historical records, and invent fallacious stories to protect Schwab, Bush, Rove, et al. Whether Bush and Obama have been involved, it is obvious that Kim Haines (Doheny) and her family continue to be used to support Schwab’s lies.

After Schwab blackmailed Kim into leaving me in August of 2002, I wrote to many of Kim’s family members and friends about how Schwab was torturing her—requesting them to intervene and try to protect her. My only responses were from Kim and Schwab’s mutual friend, Keith Johnson, who clearly claimed his friendship with both and acknowledged their relationship. This was after Kim and Schwab had supposedly sworn to the FBI that they didn’t know each other. Whoops! Can’t Bush do anything right?

I recently received a letter from Kim’s sister, Karla Slattery, who claims that everything I’ve written about Kim is false. My immediate question, of course was, Why has the family waited so long to tell me that Kim was a pathological liar and everything she told me about her family’s background and her relationship with Schwab were lies? I believe that either the FBI or Schwab’s attorneys wrote this letter, supposedly from Karla. I have tried to verify Donya and Karla’s claims with one of Kim’s sons who is a university professor, but he fails to respond and I think I know why. I have written and asked Karla if she or someone else from her family would meet me to discuss their claim, but she did not respond.

I am attaching Slattery’s letter that includes a concoction of lies that are easily disputed by the other attachments to and from Keith Johnson & Donya Cobb. Also attached is a page from Kim’s personal address book that includes Schwab’s personal contact information. I once wrote to Schwab at one of his private email addresses. He told Kim and she became furious that I had used her address book. This information was all provided Bush’s DOJ long ago.

I fear that in their desperation to save themselves, Schwab and Bush might try to silence me. Kim warned me, my friends all warned me, and the FBI warned me that I might be killed. I urge you to either proceed with charges against Schwab and Bush or advise me that you are not going to pursue the matter and the case is closed.

Sincerely, Wayne Pierce

I did not receive a response, but in May 2010, one month after my letter to Holder, Obama fired his director of National Intelligence, Dennis Blair, ostensibly for not preventing terrorist activities. However, I believed he was fired because of the stupid manner in which his so called “intelligence” people used Kim, her sister, and daughter as patsies.

Subject: US Government use of Internet and social networks for spying
Reference: US Gov/Charles Schwab Corp Conspiracy to obstruct justice
Facebook message from Karla Slattery, Apil 17, 2010

Dear Mr Zuckerberg,

While the Internet and social services, such as match.com and Facebook offer great opportunities for connecting people from around the world, they also provide opportunities for abuse and illegal activities. The US government is perhaps the main user of social networks for spying on US citizens, gathering of information about them, and using false identities to engage in illegal activities against legitimate members.

The lack of regulation and oversight by the federal and local law enforcement agencies leaves the average citizen without protection, perhaps for good reasons. I am sure you are aware of data gathering and mining efforts by the US government, corporations, and others.

Personal experience provides me with vast knowledge about computer, Internet, and social networking abuses. It was in early 2001 when I first discovered that Charles R Schwab, then CEO of Charles Schwab, was hacking into my computers. I reported Schwab’s hacking activities to local, state, and federal governments. However, rather than investigate my allegations and bring Schwab to justice, the US government conspired to protect him, obstructing justice, and denying my civil rights. If they were capable and willing to do this to me, they could deal with thousands of others in the same manner. This conspiracy between Bush and Schwab continues under President Obama’s administration. The story about this case is included on my website: https://www.aeolusblue.net

Since reporting Schwab’s illegal activities to the US government, they and Schwab, have kept me under surveillance. I believe they illegally monitor my email and tap my phones. More importantly, for many years their agents have posed as “women” on match.com to attract me, engage me, and to gain information from me and perhaps to bring me harm. I have repeatedly reported these illegal activities to Presidents Bush and Obama. I have repeatedly reported these illegal activities to my congressional representatives and leaders in Congress. However, other than attempts at derailing the case, no one has ever contacted me and offered their assistance. I have reported these illegal activities to match.com via their abuse reporting system, but neither do they respond. Homeland Security’s presence in our lives is pervasive, illegal, and for the most part, unnoticed.

The reason I am discussing these matters with you is to advise you that the US government is also using Facebook to spy on Facebook members and to use patsies (agents posing as legitimate members) to engage members for illegal purposes. In April of 2010, two Facebook members involved in my case against Schwab were recruited by Homeland Security and used Facebook to write me long letters full of lies intended to derail my case against Schwab; all part of the ongoing conspiracy to protect Schwab. I reported these illegal activities to President Obama and published the phony letters on my website. However, no one from the US government responded.

How do I know that the US government is using match.com and Facebook to commit these crimes against me? When I report the crimes to the US government, they do not respond. In case you approach the US government regarding these matters, please be aware that with Karl Rove’s help, Bush and Schwab had many years to alter the facts and create an image of me that is not so nice. However, the evidence is available to anyone who cares to look at it. Proving evil intent and lies by the US government, Charles R Schwab, and his corporate attorneys is quite easy.

I recommend that you and other owners of social networking programs develop means whereby you can prevent government infiltration of your services and abuse of your members. I spent my life at IBM, mostly in management, and have many friends involved with the Internet, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Most are wary of making their personal information public because of all the US government conspiracies, spying, and collection of personal data. Facebook might boast of 1.5 million members, but my experience is that most only join to so they can post their name, picture, and brief bio in case someone is searching for them. The full capabilities of the service go unused.

Sincerely

Charles Schwab / Government Letters

August 4, 2019

While working for President Bush as his Chief Economics Advisor, and being groomed for Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Schwab was conspiring with Bush to silence the author and control Kim’ life. Schwab and Bush began their eighteen year war against the author in an attempt to trap him, as Bush did with Julian Assange, using computer hacking and sting operations.

Schwab and Bush used their Secret Service agents in their efforts to destroy the author and his fiancée’s relationship and put the author in prison for the rest of his live. It is suspected that Schwab and Bush also tried to kill the author in order to protect Schwab from our system of justice.

Mr. Schwab comes from the same caveman tribe as the psychopath Mr. Lou Gerstner who had no trouble joining with IBM in an attempt to do take control of IBM and US government’s age discrimination policy/laws. This was all a scheme that we hope escaped the thinking of IBM’s top management. If IBM won the age discrimination cases against them, the AIPAC criminals would go to work overturning America’s civil rights laws. Antisemitism indeed. When will we start an Antigentilism movement? Never, because there aren’t any Gentiles willing to treat their fellow man so terrible.

The author spent most of his life in management at IBM and knows all too well that except for a small percentage of new hires fresh from college, most are clueless and depend heavily on the knowledge and wisdom of well seasoned “older employees”. The value of new hires depends heavily on where in the company they are hired. If IBM wants new blood with new ideas, they might want to hire them for research or development. Why would they be hired to waste their talent working in an assembly process?

But none of this mattered to IBM management and their darling, Lou Gerstner. In my last job at IBM, even if IBM screened thousands of young engineers fresh from college, they would not find anyone prepared for the job, or who they could get trained for the job in less than six months. So how does Mr. Gerstner justify firing me who was most fit for the job? Mr. Gerstner did not have to justify his decisions because pretending to save money for IBM was not his purpose.

This is what happens when a bunch of brainless rich jews attempt to take over corporations and the governments controlled by gentiles. Lou Gerstner and IBM’s top management belong in prison for the manner in which they suddenly one day, without warning, stripped IBM workers of their civil rights, and who had spent their lives believe Tom Watson’s promise of full employment the rest of their lives. As automaker Henry Ford told us in his writings, “The International Jew”, rich Jews care only about themselves and stand together against everyone else. See comments from all Israeli leaders and open your eyes to what’s happening in the world read Hitler’s fabulous, “Mein Kamp”. Or, if you want to read today’s greatest work of fiction, read Mr. Schwab’s autobiography.

After how Jewish bankers destroyed Germany’s once beautiful and prosperous country, Adolf Hitler’s main objective was to restore Germany’s working class. It doesn’t take a genius to understand that where the finest cars and other products originate.  In two years Hitler took Germany from a deep depression to amazing prosperity. Once they figured out the dynamics of the war, General Patton and others soon regretted having led the destruction of perhaps the greatest country and leader of the world. If someone like the jerk Lou Gerstner were to do to Germans what he did to IBM, Hitler would have shipped him off to America where he’d fit right in with his kind.

Rich bagel suckers like Charles Schwab and Lou Gerstner should be banned from banking and corporate leadership positions and put to work with US farm workers where they would learn what it’s born human. Donate their fancy suits and ties to Goodwill so they can stop thinking about money 24/7 and get acquainted with real work.

Now that Mr. Gerstner has created this terrible dilemma for IBM, IBM’s only solution is to settle the pending age discrimination cases out of court, ask forgiveness from IBM’s former workers they fired due to age, and compensate them for harm done to them. They could refer to this effort as the Dump Gerstner Plan.

August 2002
Author Wayne Pierce first reported Charles Schwab’s crimes against him and his fiancee to President Bush and members of his cabinet in August 2002. He soon received a response Bush’s White House staff saying Bush was referring his complaints to the US Department of Justice. Pierce received several letters from the DOJ that attempted to delay the case, but Pierce was not to be deterred.

Pierce also wrote to Schwab requesting that he discontinue stalking and harassing Kim.

August 2003
One year later, after the Bush and Schwab teams had ample time to conspire and come up with a strategy on how to handle Schwab’s dilemma, Pierce received the following letters from Charles Schwab corporate attorneys (below) denying that Schwab and Kim knew each other and Schwab didn’t know Pierce. In 2003 FBI agents talked with Pierce and claimed that Schwab and Kim had told them the same thing.

May 2005
In May 2005 Pierce received a response to his request for help from Bush’s Attorney General Alberto Gonzales advising him he was referring his case to the FBI’s Portland office. Gonzales stated that the Portland office would investigate the case and consult with his office for resolution. Apparently the DOJ was not convinced that Schwab and Kim did not know one another in which case Schwab was guilty of lying to the FBI and threatening a witness.

Bush fired Alberto Gonzales three months later. Interesting.

Kim’s emails
Anyone wanting to verify whether or not Schwab and Kim knew one another can refer to a sample of emails that are include in another Post.

Please note:  All letters to and from Schwab and the US government are included in Pierce’s books

Occupy Wall Street Movement Crushed

 

From “The Stockbroker’s Lady”

Occupy Wall Street

When I first became aware of the Occupy movement I was encouraged and felt that at last Americans might be waking up and ready to stand up to the wealthy men who owned and controlled their government and were stripping their country of its assets and destroying their way of life. In September 2011, I visited the Occupy camps in Eugene, Salem and Portland, Oregon. In Eugene I joined around two thousand protest marchers and it was invigorating to be with all these people pulling together for a cause.

I was most interested in the Occupy Wall Street activities in New York City where the billionaire crooks syphon off America’s lifeblood. Charles Schwab was a member of the NYSE and I wondered if OWS organizers might be interested in my battle with him and the US government.

In October 2011 I contacted a man named Steve who was working with the OWS media group. I provided a brief summary of my story and suggested he check out my website. If interested, I suggested he and his leaders consider organizing worldwide “Occupy Charles Schwab” protest marches. Steve responded with enthusiasm and said he would present my suggestion to the Action Committee to see what they thought. The next day I received an email from Steve who said the committee members were interested and were going to bypass the normal approval process and run with it. He said training for the protesters would begin right away. In another email he told me that the link to my website had been tweeted to over 200,000 people worldwide. Once more I was extremely excited. Steve wrote to tell me that organizing a worldwide protest would take lots of time, so they would first go it alone in NYC. On November 17 they were planning to march to the NYSE. Once there they would be conducting discussion groups and addressing various grievances, one of which would be my story about Charles Schwab. Steve told me several journalists had been notified and would be on hand to cover the story.

On November 17 I eagerly watched as the protest march got underway. The organizers announced that their destination was the NYSE and their purpose was to shut it down. All was going well until they reached the exchange where they were confronted by dozens of police officers who had barricaded the entrance to the exchange. The protesters milled around for a while until the organizers turned them around and led them back to the park where they had started. It was reported the next day that Mayor Bloomberg had ordered the arrest of three journalists who were present during this march. Bloomberg was also being blamed for abusive police action against the protesters—free speech and freedom of the press be damned.

On November 19, OWS attempted this march again and the protesters were told the barricades had been removed and the police would be more cooperative. When the protesters reached the exchange, however, something was wrong. They did not stop as planned, but kept moving, marching around the block and again back to the park. The organizers later reported that undercover cops had infiltrated and learned about their plans ahead of time so they would be ready for them. I was not privy to their discussions, but assumed their plans changed when they reached their destination and discovered there were no journalists present. This was a tremendous letdown.

After their second march on the NYSE failed, OWS organizers cut off communications with me. I was sorry to learn that Steve would not respond to my emails and had even blocked me as a Twitter follower so I could no longer receive his tweets. My guess was that the Obama administration had learned about their plans to publicize my story and issued another gag order. I could imagine President Obama and Schwab on the phone with NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg talking about how OWS plans to expose Schwab must be stopped. I’m sure it was an Obama gag order that caused OWS to cut off communications with me. So much for freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

June 22, 2015

The Occupy Wall Street movement seemed well-funded and organized. However, they were no match for those who control law enforcement and the media. Many journalists were being arrested during this time. Probably the most important factor in the decline of the OWC movement was the failure of Americans to join the movement against the 1% who owned and controlled every aspect of their lives. Unlike Europeans, Americans are brainwashed into believing they live in a utopia and dare not complain.

I had all but given up seeking help from major newspapers & TV producers and being ignored. Even New York Times , Washington Post, & Wall Street Journal editors were not interested in my story. President Bush’s gag orders were very effective in protecting billionaire stock broker Charles Schwab.

Then one day I came across an article in Salem News, a local online news source whose chief editor was photojournalist Tim King. I was hesitant, but he sounded like an ungagged renegade so I decided to try one more time. I wrote to him and was excited by his quick response. He told me he was interested in my story and wanted to meet with me.

Tim & his wife Bonnie drove down from Salem with their huge video camera & I was soon sitting out on my patio being interview. No script, no rehearsal, no makeup, nervous… An experienced journalist, Tim King asked the questions, his wife Bonnie operated the camera, and I tried to answer the questions.  We met at their home in Salem a couple times to discuss my story in preparation for articles they would  publish.

This was more excitement than I could handle. especially Tim warned me that after his articles were published my story would go viral & I would be overwhelmed by journalists. He advised I make plans for a quick escape in case the frenzie became to great.

Despite all his years as a photojournalist Tim discovered just how naïve he was about presidential gag orders that provided a quick method of silencing would be trouble makers. The federal & state governments we learned to believe in are a total fraud. Needless to say, when Tim’s articles did not receive the attention we anticipated, his balloon was burst. He was much more let down than me because he was not yet aware the US was not a democratic country that in reality did not have a free press. The Constitution & Bill of Rights were relics that expressed the best intentions of America’s founders.

When a friend asked Sigmund Freud what he thought about America’s Democracy & Capitalism, he responded, “America is the greatest experiment of mankind, but I’m afraid it will never work.”

From Horse Stable to IBM

 June 16, 2015

From Horse Stable to IBM

 My father was a restless man whose determination to provide for his family led to several careers and just as many bankruptcies. His pursuit of job opportunities resulted in numerous relocations requiring my sisters and I to change schools in the middle of the year. My father finally settled into a plumbing career and became a plumbing contractor in California’s greater San Jose area.

While I was still a boy we lived in Laton, a small farm town in California’s San Joaquin Valley. There was one barber and two small grocery stores. My grandfather was justice of the Peace and my grandmother was a teacher at our one grammar school. One of the most popular people in Laton was Homer, an old cowboy who kept horses in corrals in his backyard. Homer dressed in jeans, cowboy shirt, boots, and a straw hat. He didn’t have a car, so rode his horses into town where he created lots of excitement amongst us kids. Our greatest treat was when he selected one of us to pull up behind him on his horse for a ride. After moving to San Jose we often returned to visit my grandparents, which provided opportunities to walk across town looking for Homer.

When I was sixteen our frequent moves and constant school changes had taken its toll and I had become disillusioned about my education and future. After my grandfather died, my grandmother, who never drove, sold me his green ’35 Ford for $50 and my first adventure was to drive it one hundred fifty miles home to San Jose. Having my own car gave me a new sense of freedom and independence. It also nurtured a desire to be on my own.

A couple months later I drove to Laton to visit my grandparents and Homer. While there I made a bold move and asked Homer if I could come live with him and help with his horses. He liked the idea and said he would pay me a percentage of money he made with the horses. He said I could sleep on his sofa and eat with him.

Homer led a primitive life. His home was a small wooden house with one bedroom, small living room, and a tiny eat-in kitchen. He cooked on a hotplate that sat on the table. Washing clothes entailed hanging his clothes on the line and hosing them off with the garden hose. Bathroom facilities were located in an unheated shed behind the house and consisted of a large open room with a toilet and laundry tray where I soon learned Homer took his standup baths. I had the luxury of bathing and doing my laundry at my grandparent’s place.

I enjoyed working with the horses, but Homer couldn’t keep me busy and I was often broke and hungry. I also missed my family and friends, so one day returned to San Jose to look for a job at a riding stable.

I first visited the county fairgrounds where owners sometimes boarded and trained their horses. I met a top American Saddlebred horse trainer working for several wealthy families. He and others were living in horse stalls that they had converted into cozy one-room abodes. I also met poor families with kids living there. The fairground provided bathrooms, but no eating facilities. When it came to monthly rent it didn’t get any better. My new friend offered me part-time work helping him training horses and riders, so I rented a horse stall and returned to Laton to fetch my few belongings.

On move-in day I bought a cot and a couple blankets. I used a wooden fruit box for my nightstand and hammered a few large nails in the wall for hanging my clothes. At seventeen I was independent and free and could not have been happier. I spent my days feeding, grooming, and cleaning up after the horses, whose homes were near mine. I also assisted with horse training. On occasion I accompanied horses to shows at the Cow Palace in San Francisco where their owners would show them. I was learning a lot about horse training and English style riding, but the work was part-time and I was still often broke and hungry. So I again decided to look for a better job.

Without benefit of a computer and Internet, I started searching for riding stables in the San Jose area and found one whose owner was impressed by my experience with American Saddlebreds. He hired me and I was soon teaching large English equitation classes to girls from a nearby Catholic girl’s school. I can still recall standing in the middle of the riding ring trying to keep control of fifteen or twenty giggling girls, many who had never been on a horse. Of course, these classes require very special horses.

The health and happiness of horses is totally dependent upon their owners and those who care for them. Feeding is the greatest expense and when times are tough or owners are greedy, rations get cut. After working with him for a while, I felt my boss was not a horse lover and the stable was just a way of making money. I loved horses and was bothered that our school horses were not fed properly and appeared thin, lethargic, and unhappy. Lots of rich families boarded their horses at our stable and of course their horses received better care.

Though I was well below her status in life, one girl whose family had several horses at our stable had a crush on me and we started dating. At the time, it didn’t occur to me how strange it might appear having my old green ’35 Ford driving into her upscale neighborhood and park in front of her parents’ two-story home. Her parents were not happy with their daughter’s selection of a boyfriend and put an end to my intrusion into their life by sending their daughter off to Castilleja girl’s school, strategically located near Stanford University. Being forced to please her parents’ desire that she marry well, she was no longer allowed to see me. Her parents told my boss and he followed up by chewing my ass because I had been dating one his clients’ daughters. This was my first experience with the real world where money and class play a great role. I was devastated and did not know what to say, so kept it simple and told my boss I quit. Her parents’ strategy didn’t work and their daughter ended up marrying an electrical contractor’s son, who, it was said, got the postmaster’s lovely daughter pregnant while in high school. Perhaps they figured that having a promiscuous electrician for a son-in-law was a step up from having a plumber’s son around on holidays.

I started working for individual horse owners and a woman I was working for in Los Altos Hills suggested I check out Menlo Circus Club, which she said had a large horse stable and training facilities. I went there and discovered the club was located in Atherton, one of California’s most prestigious neighborhoods with many large mansions. The club was beautiful. As I pulled into the long driveway I saw a field where men were playing polo. In the center was the main clubhouse and on the right was the largest horse stable I had ever seen. I introduced myself to two men who ran the stable and after we chatted for a while about my experience they offered me a job as an English and western riding instructor. As with my previous job, we provided riding lessons for a nearby Catholic girl’s school, also strategically located by Stanford University. Some of my private lessons were with kids from nearby wealthy families. One student’s father was the owner of Spivey’s drive in restaurants and brought his son for his lessons in a shiny black Rolls Royce. Dad would sit in the stands reading the paper while I taught his reluctant son to ride.

One day after a large group lesson my boss met me by the riding ring and said he wanted to talk with me. He said, “Wayne, this isn’t the life for you. You are young and bright and should be working for one of the electronic companies that are starting up around here.” He was referring to companies that were locating in the area that would become Silicone Valley. “Working for one of these big companies, you’ll make a lot more money. You’ll have benefits and will be able to retire with a pension.” He was talking about things I had never thought about before. I was a bit dumfounded because I loved working with horses. I loved the stable life and the black “stable boys” I worked with—some who were retired jockeys or hadn’t made it at the track. I really didn’t know how to respond, but told him I would think about it.

I didn’t know much about these companies my boss was talking about. Names like Hewlett Packard, Xerox, Varian Associates, and IBM didn’t mean much to me. For sure, I knew very little about electronics. But I respected my boss and decided to follow his advice. In my free time I started dropping by large companies and picking up application forms. When I reached the sections about education and work experience I was embarrassed; all I could say was that I had one year of high school and four years working with horses. This was no doubt what my girlfriend’s parents were worried about. I did not know what type work these companies performed so had no idea how I might fit in even if I were offered a job.

I didn’t have to worry about it because the responses were quick and the same; they did not have job openings that required my skills. Even though I had little desire to work for these companies, it bothered me that I was being rejected. This was my first encounter with being judged based upon my education and work experience and it would be another lesson about the real world. This was all new for me and I felt vulnerable and bothered enough to talk with my father about it. It really wasn’t complicated. I just told him the large companies would not hire me because of my lack of education and experience. My father listened and was sympathetic, but didn’t have much advice. He passed up the opportunity to invite me to come back home and live with him and my mother while going back to school. Thinking about it years later, even though he was a plumbing contractor, he didn’t suggest I work for him and learn the plumbing trade.

The disappointment of not being hired was minimal because I was happy and contented working with horses. I had almost forgotten about it when my father called to tell me he had been doing plumbing for a man who worked for a company called IBM. When he told his customer about my difficulties finding a job, the man told him to have me call him. The man’s name was Rey Johnson.

Mr. Johnson invited me to his downtown office where he talked with me for what seemed a very long time. He was patient and methodical as he asked questions, starting with my childhood. He listened carefully and took meticulous notes. By the time he finished asking questions, I was exhausted. He wrote down the address and phone number of IBM’s new manufacturing plant on Cottle Road and told me to call the Personnel Department and make an appointment for a job interview.

IBM’s new plant was located in south San Jose and consisted of large buildings sprawled out in the middle of a huge prune orchard. It was a beautiful site, but I did not have any idea what might be going on in those buildings. I followed the signs to the Personnel Department where I parked. It was 1957 and I didn’t realize how my recently acquired 1941 Plymouth would stand out among the newer cars. I had dressed for the occasion in my red sweater, blue wool slacks, and white buck shoes.

I was interviewed by John DelFavero who explained that his department manufactured magnetic disks, which of course didn’t meant anything to me. When he showed me a piece of paper with drawings of small round circles, I smiled and told him it sounded interesting. I would later learn that these sketches represented the large magnetic disks used with IBM’s mainframe computers. When he asked if I was interested in working for him, I said yes and he told me to report to work the following Monday, thus launching my thirty-six year career at IBM. I would later learn that DelFavero was a Stanford University Mechanical engineer. After a few years at IBM, he left to become the president of the Curry Company that was managing Yosemite Village and concessions in Yosemite National Park.

Through hard work and continuing education, I made steady progress at IBM, spending about half my career in management positions. It would not be until many years later that I learned that the first man at IBM to interview me was the famous computer pioneer, Reynold B Johnson, also known as the “father” of the disk drive. IBM’s CEO Tom Watson, Jr. had chosen Johnson to set up the west coast laboratory where the magnetic disks and heads would be developed. IBM’s San Jose manufacturing plant would then manufacture the disk drives for IBM’s mainframe computers. On a miniature scale, Johnson’s technology is still used in most of our personal computers. Now and then I think about the time when this well-educated computer genius and manager of the development lab took the time to talk with me and offer me this life changing opportunity. Had Rey Johnson not been experiencing plumbing problems and called my father, I would probably have spent my life working with horses. At the time Johnson interviewed me, he was fifty-one and I was twenty.

After retiring from IBM in 1993, I wrote to Tom Watson, Jr., IBM’s founder’s son, and thanked him for my many years with the company. Older now and long retired, he took the time to write and thank me for writing and reminding him of some exciting moments, such as when he gave Russia’s Nikita Khrushchev a tour of our new San Jose plant. I had been invited to join the Russian entourage for lunch in our cafeteria and sat near the front where both men made speeches. The highlight of Khrushchev’s speech was when he told the packed cafeteria how much he enjoyed our fried chicken. Tom Watson died only months after he had written to me. Now and then I am reminded of the great men who spent their lives making America a great country. How sad that we must now watch helplessly while the vultures destroy America and what these men created.
