Out of sight …

Dear Traci,

I don't quite know how to greet someone upon our newest national holiday of Juneteenth. It is a celebration, but over the occasion of among the worst of our nation's legacy in taking 2 years to begin enforcing the Civil War's Year 3 Emancipation Proclamation of President Lincoln freeing slaves in Texas.

Our nation's concern for being a Nation Under Laws is way behind our self-declared Patriot Industry's Public Relations for enforcing STREET CRIME (so-called Law and Order Issues and Militarization of Municipal Police and Privatized Human Necessity Utilities\Telecommunications\Finance\Living Sciences sectors); Yet not on what Citizen Activist Ralph Nader noted should be our focus on the far greater Public Health Risk and under-resourced Justice Issue and taxation obligations of this twisted anti-social society's wealth concentrators' SUITE CRIME!

Your Community Radio program via KBOO was better spent with clarifying call-in exchanges on institutional (and corporate) corruption along with the malfeasance that comes from willful refusal to Enforce WHITE COLLAR CRIME than it would have been on discussing evolving social etiquette in the Greeting Card industry and false pleasantries exchanged in our current iteration of Stag-Nation & Food Stamp Propped Up Wage Slavery amid RECORD PANDEMIC CORPORATE PROFITS siphoned and sucked up from its generators on Main Street up to the casino investors networked with offices from London to Wall Street while wintering in Gstaad and summer jetting off to Biarritz!

Thank you for your nuanced way of addressing the subject of our inter-ethnic and cross-cultural abomination of accepting our national political Duopoly's Normalization of Homelessness and Business Alliance failures in both our PoTown, Ore BOOM cycle that made the cost of living in this area way out of pace with 50 years of academically peer reviewed and vetted WAGE STAG-NATION, as well as our current Preferred Capitalist System's anti-social BUST cycle. Perhaps we are nearing an electoral consensus on trying to institute a Social Safety Net to minimize the depradation of our electorally preferred predatory ways of Pay2Play structuring of the cornucopia that our Most Productive Work Force in quantified human history has under The Almighty Maker's senses provide to these United States of Amnesia (with many battered generations here on Planet of the Clock Punchers!)

Our world 2012 - PRE occupied.

For a terminal Mass Communications student such as myself there is also a need to highlight the utter corporate capture of our United States of Amnesia's News and PUBLIC INTEREST yet PAY2PLAY Education\Information Broadcast Cycle that certainly has not drawn any systemic attention to the major Silicon Valley Law Enforcement Scandal that your last caller brought to your and our attention (mine too, even as a newshound with Bay Area roots I had no knowledge of this).

This Shoulda Been Lede in National News coverage with some context in the previous months' GLOBAL NEWS REPORTING LEDE of the FAILURE\BAIL OUT OF SILICON VALLEY BANK's OLIGARCH CUSTOMERS!

Especially as it has been playing out over the past 3 months of barely noted on any National News Agenda this report by our BUST CYCLE nation's HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS DEPARTMENT of the United States of Amnesia's JUSTICE DEPARTMENT. Our blathering Trump Ring Master Duopoly, also corporate-captured as much as our Corporate Media News-Info'tainment 'reporting' system have barely turned any resources to covering this San Jose-based NATIONAL SCANDAL with audit and investigation in process so no guilt in advance is presumed. Yet, here is some evidence gathered to go and deploy real Law Enforcement resources and Public Interest News Reporting on:

Press Release
San Jose Police Union Executive Charged With Attempted Illegal Importation Of Fentanyl Analogue
Wednesday, March 29, 2023
For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, Northern District of California

SAN JOSE – The Office of the United States Attorney has filed a federal criminal complaint charging Joanne Marian Segovia with attempt to illegally import a controlled substance in connection with a scheme to bring synthetic opioids into the country and distribute them throughout the United States, announced United States Attorney Ismail J. Ramsey and Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent in Charge Tatum King. The criminal complaint was filed on March 27, 2023, and unsealed the next day.

"According to the complaint, Segovia, 64, of San Jose, is the Executive Director of the San Jose Police Officers’ Association (SJPOA). The complaint alleges that Segovia used her personal and office computers to order thousands of opioid and other pills to her home and agreed to distribute the drugs elsewhere in the United States.

"The complaint alleges that Segovia was apprehended as part of an ongoing Homeland Security investigation into a network that was shipping controlled substances into the San Francisco Bay Area from abroad.

"The complaint alleges that between October 2015 and January 2023, Segovia had at least 61 shipments mailed to her home, originating from countries including Hong Kong, Hungary, India, and Singapore. The manifests for these shipments declared their contents with labels like “Wedding Party Favors,” “Gift Makeup,” or “Chocolate and Sweets.” But between July 2019 and January 2023, officials intercepted and opened five of these shipments and found that they contained thousands of pills of controlled substances, including the synthetic opioids Tramadol and Tapentadol. Certain parcels were valued at thousands of dollars’ worth of drugs..."

I am very appreciative for the level of discussion you Traci (and when Abe Proctor, formerly of Portland Community College joins you on TOO MUCH INFORMATION here on community radio KBOO) shepherd and shoehorn into our blighted Corporate Captured Cornucopia of Info-'tainment meant to distract our body politic and leave POLICY MAKING to the sausage-makers of our local Business Alliances and High Finance Daddy Warbucks Privateers that continue to enslave and trade our body politic to the highest networked investor bidder.

Keep on doing Traci and whoever that last caller this morning was and everybody laboring to find health and balance in our part of Pandemic In Perpetuity's Global Plagues yet to be addressed by our Industrial Spiritual Speculative Casino Complex that President Eisenhower tried so hard to warn US about and that back in the 1950's was referred to in the Funny Papers as Daddy Warbucks.

Hazmat-suited hugs, praise and blessings all around your re-opened KBOO Community Radio studios.
