VERNON BALMER JR.

GENERAL DELIVERY

HONOLULU, HAWAII 96820

Chronology:


May 16, 2018: An email I sent to the National Republican Congressional

Committee., along with a reply from them with this same info,   

found under keyword search (nrcc ), only shows  1 result  -

the most current. Before I left the library this afternoon,

there were 2.




Mar 15, 2018: RE-report # 18-101410; "ASSAULT 3RD"



"LIEUT. blank will assign the investigation to a detective who can be reached at blank.
The initial OFF. who submitted the REport is C. SANO and is assigned to the
MAIN police station, telephone number blank. Those blanks are as seen on the card.




Mar 4, 2016: My coat containing (evidence) - a roll of film; thumb



drive; a cassette tape designated HPD; POLICE COMMISSION;



HOMESTREET & CPB, is stolen at the HAWAII STATE LIBRARY. This is



the seventh time evidence or evidence contained in items is stolen -



the third time at the same library, in addition



to various email accounts(evidence).



Jul, 2015: My blog (CPB & VERNON BALMER JR.) is taken down



without a "review" and no response to my inquiry. It was up for 7 years.



2012: The same account shows a login on the coming Sunday.



Apr. 2011: An account of mine shows me logging in on Sunday.

It couldn't have been me. The IP address is that of the Hawaii State

Public Library System, or state computers.





Jan. 14, 2011: Librarian, Michelle, says I must relinquish my place at

the computer to a man that came in after my card was reset and I



was at the computer. Ms. Diane Eddy the director gets within inches



of my face while at the station and repeatedly demands and requests



me to give up the session, and Ray, Star Security Guard, calls the



sheriffs to have Me removed from the library, after Ms. Eddy says I



am causing a disturbance. Ms. Eddy uses the term "as a courtesy to



me" when repeatedly demanding and requesting that I relinquish



the seat.

Aug. 7, 2010: My MP3 player(evidence) is stolen at the library.



Officer Roden makes it 'Lost Property'.

July 21, 2010: A bag containing police(evidence) reports made by



me are stolen at the library.



June 28, 2010: My bag(evidence) stolen at the Ala Wai.



July 16, 2009: My tax transcripts(evidence) are stolen at the State Library.

These included a set that was sent to me unsealed. There are

discrepancies in my name, address, wages reported, and



withholding.



Jun. 24 - Today, I go to the police station and inquire about these



two reports (199784 152479). I find that there is no statement filed



For either. One is for the bag, which did not contain the two



recorders(evidence) and two tapes when I claimed it. I also find Off.



Lee left of one recorder and the tapes from his report. Also, the



report number now jibes with the number in evidence, as it did not



when I claimed the bag.

May, 2010 - I updated my registration to vote in the 2008 election

because I had left my last address, although living in the same area



and having the same polling place - McCully. I voted in the last



national election at McCully. I went to the office in City Hall to



update again, this past Wednesday, for the special election coming



up. I was told that I hadn't done any action since 2006.

Apr. 2010 - I called an officer to report what I believe was a theft.

The officer told me that since I did not purchase the item and there

would be difficulty in obtaining fingerprints, he could not make it a

theft, but instead, MISC PUB. When I went to the Police Commission,



I was told any investigation would be hampered by the inability to



collect possible fingerprints.



Apr. 14, 2009 - The IRS tells me there is a 1099 in my name for



2007. I never applied for social security, never received a check



from social security, or cashed a check from social security. The SSA



tells me there is no record of a 1099 in my name.

Mar. 19, 2009 - Emails(evidence) I had in my AOL account have vanished. The

emails were between Ms. Mason and me when President Obama was



Senator of Illinois. Who would want them gone? Seems anyone can



come to the Hawaii State Library at any time and do anything they



want with, on, and at the public computers.

Aug. 18, 2008 - I go to the police station to get a copy of the report

made to Officer Porter. The statement is still not with the rest of the

paper work. My statement contained more detailed information



about what was inside, including my passport and birth certificate,



and numerous correspondences with government agencies.

Jul. 27, 2008 - I return to the police station to make another report

and statement, this time with Officer Porter.



Jul. 21, 2008 - I returned to the police station downtown to



complete the report with Ms. Aksionczyk, at 5:40 in the morning on



Monday and was told by the officer on duty at the receiving area that



she would be in at 6:00... I waited until 6:00 and inquired with a



different officer, and was told that she would not be at the receiving



area until 10:30 - 2:30. I tried again during these hours, without



Success. This has been 5 days now and no report has been



generated and I cannot get a number to reference concerning the



case. I need to know how to get the report filed and a number to



reference with further correspondence.

Jul. 19, 2008 - I made a report to an officer by the name of Lisa

Aksionczyk, on Saturday of this month, about a stolen



backpack(evidence) I left on the route E bus. Ms. Aksionczyk



suggested at the time, that I inquire at the lost and found



department of The Bus. I thought this was a good idea, so that a



Good Samaritan would not have the unpleasant experience of



someone thinking they were a thief.

I went to the nearest stop I knew the bus would stop at on its return

trip. I saw the driver, recognized as the one I rode with and waited



for him to stop. I asked if it was turned in. I was told no by the



driver. I asked the driver's name. He told me Raymond. I asked



where the bus terminated and Raymond told me Waipahu. I

subsequently found the bus terminates in Ewa.



RAYMOND LIED.



The only time I could check with The Bus lost and found would be



the following Monday, it is not open on weekends. I did call The Bus,



on Saturday, with an emergency report because there was important



ID in the backpack. I was told by the representative that no



backpack was turned in. On Monday I went to the transit center to



inquire in person, and was disappointed to be shown backpacks that



were not mine.

Jan. 2008 - Unlike the DCCA of Hawaii, who I supplied



documentation to, the Department of Health and Human Services



"Region 10", without documentation, finds that Dr. Au did violate



the privacy act by charging me too much for copies of my records.



But, Region 10 tells me they cannot precede on the 6 other



allegations.

1. Along with saying I did not see as well with the new glasses, I



said that the prescription that I was given was weaker than the one



I had the previous 7, count them, seven years. Your office, nor the



DCCA, responded to this charge.

2. The reason I asked Dr. Au to change the prescription was because



the NEW one, I repeat, was weaker in one eye. This was the only



alternative Dr. Au gave me other than accepting the weaker



prescription.

3. The "Vision Certificate" Dr. Au provides, had no license number



where it should have been and she did not sign it where it should



have been signed.

4. Dr. Au refused to give me photocopies of my records and did not



give me a reason, per her office's policy, when I asked for them in



her office.

5. Dr. Au charged me 2.00 dollars per page, totaling 20.00 dollars,

which I believe is exorbitant.

6. There are conflicting numbers on my records that I would like

explained. This, no one has addressed. And I doubt that my records



were reviewed by an impartial optometrist, as any reasonable



person would assume to be a part on what your office calls an



Investigation.

7. I was trespassed from Dr. Au's office for no other reason than



asking for copies of my files, and in her response to the DCCA she



says I was escorted out of her offices by mall security, which is a lie



by an optometrist that practices deceit.

Nov. 2007 - My complaint about Central Pacific Bank is not sent to



the FDIC regional offices in California. Instead it is sent to Kansas



City. Missouri. The response I get from FDIC says my concerns are



contractual, although I point out two misrepresentations by the



bank's compliance counsel, Judith A. Villarreal. Ms. Villarreal says I



did not contact Mr. Clint Arnoldus, Mr. Dennis K. Isono. I have



Certified Receipts and electronic verification from USPS that says I



did.

Coincidentally, there are officials at the Kansas City offices with the

name Villarreal: Jesse O. Villarreal Jr., Lisa M. Villarreal and Victor

Villarreal.

It is my opinion, that a person trained as a lawyer would verify facts

before submitting them in official documentation. Therefore, I can



only assume that Ms. Villarreal had a serious lapse in judgment, or



she was lied to by those she spoke with.

Mar. 2007 - My complaint to the Dept. Of Ed is refused on the



grounds that they do not fund any programs or activities at the



Hawaii State Public Library System, and therefore do not have



jurisdiction.

If the situation is threatening enough to cause a change in levels

moment to moment, it stands to my reason, it would remain at a



certain level until there is a sufficient enough change or stabilization



to bring it to a lesser level. But that's just me.

Oct. 17, 2006 - I submit a complaint to the Police Commission



relaying concerns about the treatment I experienced at the security



checkpoint at HPD District 1 the previous day. An investigator tells



me it is the policeman’s job to "interpret the law".

Returning to the station to locate an article I left, I am told by

Officer Kahele, in the presence of one officer Hung, and another, that

it is mandatory that I produce ID, and that I remove everything from



my pockets, and take off my belt before passing through the metal



detector.

I point out this information is not on the signs, and officer Kahele

says there will be no furthering of my purpose if I do not comply.



After complying, I am told by officer Kahele that I must sit down, or



she will not take my report. Previous to this occasion, when at the



HPD headquarters, I was never asked to remove everything from my



pockets and, or to remove my belt, or that I had to produce ID to



enter. Officer Lau, the sergeant for this post, tells me the same.

I am told by a detective that it is not mandatory to produce ID, "We

don't care who you are. Anyone has the right to come in here".



Sergeant Lau, who I am told is the officer in charge of the post, says



depending on the threat level, procedures may change day to day.

He says one may be required to remove everything from ones



pockets etc., or be required to submit to different procedures. I



inform him that on the same day, when I was there previously, I was



not required to do so. He informs me that the security level may



change from moment to moment.

Oct. 16, 2006 - I submit a complaint to HPD Internal Affairs relaying

concerns about not being asked to identify the driver of the vehicle

that hit me on the 8th of Sept., and the fact that the person who



stood as Chris Pa at the arraignment was not the driver of the car.

Oct. 6, 2006 - I go to the arraignment of A Mr. Chris Pa. I am



surprised to see that this Mr. Pa is not the driver I saw, while laying



on the hood of the car and peering through the windshield, and



definitely not the man I looked in the face and spoke to through an



opened window.

This may be due to the fact that I was not asked to identify the



person located, arrested, or cited, on the night of the incident or at



any subsequent time, until I see him at the arraignment. I am



directed by the presiding judge to inform the prosecutor’s office,



which I do.

Oct. 2, 2006 - I am told at traffic court there is no court date set,

but have found online there is one on Oct. 6, in room 4B, and I am



not included as the victim. I still get correspondence from the



insurer's agents telling me of medical coverage available, although I



told the driver, the responding officer, and previously the insurer's



agent, I am OK.

Sep. 21, 2006 - I go to City Hall to get a voter registration card and

am told it will cost .50 cents.

I am surprised to get a "Certificate", ala Lens Crafters, and ask is

this it? I am told yes by the clerk. Today, on "The Bus" I see a man



who says he works at the polls, who tells me there is still a little



yellow card that comes in the mail and is surprised to see the



"Certificate".

Sep. 8, 2006 - I am hit by a car bearing license plate JST 203, that



was stopped at a crosswalk. The driver is looking at me when he



accelerates. The driver doesn't wait for police to arrive. They find



him at his home. The police report reads Crime Code 550, which I am



told means, a collision with damage of more than 3000 dollars. I am



told the responding police officer decides if there will be an



Investigation.



This is More, Honolulu HOKUM.

This is the place where, those who would complain about



wrongdoing are persecuted, harassed, smeared and railroaded.



Where the perpetrators are bribed to keep quiet, or go along with



the cover-up, promoted, and transferred.

Sep. 7, 2006 - A security guard, Solomon Save a, badge number -



90187, at the Hawaii State Library, calls me a "ni - - er" twice" in the



library foyer, in a loud voice.

Aug. 10, 2006 - I have been told by Sen. Barack Obama's office,



where I sent this same correspondence, that someone from Sen.



Akaka's office would contact me, because Sen. Obama's office



forwarded the correspondence to them. I have yet to hear from Sen.



Akaka's office. Is there some assistance your office can give me?



Jul. 2006 - I have written to the Clint Arnoldus Denis Isono and



Susan Tachino asking them to explain, and have received no



response.

Letter Sent To Senator Obama





Sent: Wed, Jun 6 4:46 PM

Subject: Ms. Mason



Thank you for the assistance you have given. Please, do not contact

Senator Akaka’s office again, on my behalf. Unless there is some

necessary secrecy to an investigation he is doing, all I have received

from his offices is a letter in response to my inquiring about fund



for the Hawaii State Library. My concerns extend much further than



This.



Hopefully, the light being shed on activities in the Justice



Department will lend itself to some justice for me. Otherwise, it will



be nothing but justice delayed and denied.

Jul. 23, 2006 - An Optometrist, Kim Agena at a LensCrafters gives



me a prescription that is weaker than the one I had for the previous



7 years.



Doctor Au, a co-owner corrects this, but when I ask for photocopies



of my records the doctor refuses and gives me a hand written



“Vision Certificate" instead, that is not signed and does not contain a



license number where applicable. I have made a formal request in



writing. They have told me it will be at a cost of 20 dollars for 10



pages, which seems exorbitant and requested that I not seek



services at any Optometrists in LensCrafters.

The doctor, Au, is the co - owner along with Dr. Lau, of all the

Optometrist offices in LensCrafters, in Honolulu. In other words, I

cannot get an eye exam at LensCrafters. Is it considered rude or

threatening, to ask for one's records?

The advice I get here is nothing but a pack of lies.

The local ACLU has written me 3 differing and separate excuses why



they cannot or will not get involved, but never the conflict I found



below.

Apr. 2006 - I have had two librarians and a circulation clerk tell me

there is no report possible for stolen books. They must be lost. This

would have caused fees to be incurred by me. I had to take the



police report to the State Librarian's Office to settle the matter and



have the fines removed from my account. This all could have been



done at thE State Library.

Jan. 2006 - I have had two bank accounts affected. One because a



deposit I made to cover my use of overdraft protection was not



credited; they rescinded the "overdraft" and CLOSED my account.

The bank says it had to be held in the account for a day, to be

credited. Nowhere in the terms and conditions is this stated. The

depletion of the other account, I have been given no reason for.

Recently, I have made another complaint, in addition to the previous

five, to the USPS - OIG, about mail I am to receive or have sent. I sent

a certified letter to Richard E. Fairfax, Directorate of Enforcement

Programs - OSHA, in Washington D.C., on the 2nd of December.

The certification number is 7005 2570 0000 6898 2586. I look at the

track and confirm feature at USPS.COM and there is no record of it

having been delivered yet.

My case was dismissed May 24, 2006. How often does this occur? A



case is dismissed with two days difference between the dismissal



date and the termination date, (May 26, 2004) of the individual filing



suit. I will never understand how the three judges that made



decisions in this case could not see that it is too complex for anyone



who would consider themselves a pro se litigant, which I do not.

This has been an uphill battle against an opponent whose underwriters include
a Fortune 500 company, FNF.

Emails sent to lawyers:


Dear Vernon---- Your letter is alarming. I have over time, recieved



calls from persons very distressed by the Hawaii you know. In fact



I've been out of Hawaii for many months one reason being the



hostile and dysfunctional nature of things.I've even been jailed on a



charge it took the Judge when I finally got before one 2 minutes to



throw out.That all being said have no ability to be of help to you



other than to give you encouragement from this distance.

Sincerely John Goemans

My Information:

I have resided here in Honolulu, Hawaii for almost 4 years now. I

had intended to stay here when I made the decision to come, and

was happy to have found employment relatively soon. I found a job

working with a temporary agency for 4 months.

I was hired by the client as a regular employee, Sept... 2002. On my

first day of regular hire, I was shocked to hear, "you know why they

hired him, don't you", from one of my co-workers. But, needing to

work for a living and being in a strange place, I thought it best to

ignore this, after all, I was hired.

At the beginning of my time with the client, Title Guaranty, I was

told by the onsite supervisor, that if I was to take a particular bus

and call her first, "there would be more work". The day after this I

handed her my time card, ready to seek another assignment, when

she acted as though she didn't know why I would be doing this.
When I explained, she countered with some nebulous words and

said I could work as long as the company needed me.

Subsequently, the same supervisor would tell me that I had to give

her a key or the combination to the lock on my locker, "in case of an
emergency". I thought this to be a strange request, as I could not
imagine an emergency in my locker that would require her or anyone

else to open it without me. I didn't respond to her request, and not

hearing anything further, I gathered that it was not company policy

at all.
Having a co-worker refer to me as "boy" and another ask me 3 times

- after giving an answer twice - "why do black people use the N

word?", did not make me feel very gregarious among them. I was

also told by a co-worker, "all Hawaii is a gang brah", and by another,

"it's all connected", the supervisor speaking about a former

supervisor said, "we made him quit because he thought he was

smarter than us, cause he was from the east coast".

We were housed in a basement of what is now a former Costco

building, with an air-conditioner as the only ventilation.
When I noticed mold growing in a hole, in the wall beneath the
air-conditioner, adjacent to the room where I sometimes, but mostly

my co-workers would eat lunch, I asked them about it and was told

that management was made aware of it and did nothing. I decided

to inform management myself, considering the untruths I had

previously heard from some. I was thanked by the assistant to the

woman in accounting who handled the repairs for the building.


I did not think it was a major undertaking by a very successful

company to fix this problem, and was surprised at the length of time

it was taking to address the situation, so I informed OSHA, Aug.

2003. This is when things started to go further south.
Coincidentally, the day after going to the OSHA offices, the next day

at work, my supervisor stated to a co-worker, "Vernon went to

OSHA." This information was not given to her or any co-worker, by

me.

When I went to OSHA, the employee did not give me any type of

reference number, or write one in the space provided on the

complaint form, nor did she inform me at that time that mold is not

OSHA'S jurisdiction, which is what I was told when I went to check

on the status of the complaint. Neither, did the employee inform me

of laws governing discrimination.

I was also told - it not being OSHA'S jurisdiction - the complaint was
referred to the Department of Health. It was like pulling teeth to get
an answer as to what office at the DOH it was referred to. Needless

to say I could not inquire about the possible disposition of the

complaint, not knowing where to inquire.
I made a complaint to the EEOC, Jan. 2004, and the Hawaii Civil

Rights Commission, Apr 2004, both of which were dismissed without

any investigation. Each agency sat back and waited for the

submission of the company's response, giving them numerous

extensions. Incidentally, I was contacted by the director of the

EEOC, asking me if I wanted to proceed, after I was shown a copy of

the company's response, which I don't believe is proper.
I now see in the EEOC's and the HCRC's own publications, matters

such as mine that were investigated and even adjudicated. During

the HCRC's lack of investigation, I only heard from them at the

intake and when I received their letter of dismissal.
I now find the investigator did business with my former employer. I

furnished the EEOC and the HCRC with names of co-workers who

said they would speak for me. They were not interviewed. I was

informed by an investigator at the EEOC that no one visited the site.
There was a similar situation here with UPS, where an employee was

fired for doing less egregious acts than his co-workers, which I

believe is the case here. I saw coworkers break company

equipment, cuss freely, ask for sexual favors, and bring children and

friends to the work site.
Throughout this experience I have been told by these agencies' staff

and lawyers, literally or in effect, "there is no smoking gun here".

This is only due to there being no investigation. In the least, there is

a pattern that should compel any thinking person to ask questions.
Subsequent to this, my work was sabotaged on more than one

occasion, and reports to management only resulted in them twisting

the situation in attempts to placate me and set me up for these

spurious accusations by my co-workers.
Each complaint of mine was a matter of my erroneous

"interpretation", as stated by management (Myron Koizumi), while

my co-workers complaints were valid descriptions of my

"misconduct".
As a result of the accusations, I was suspended, without pay,

pending an investigation for, I kid you not, a co-worker accusing me

of harassing her by clapping my hands and signing "Pink Cadillac",

and another saying, I was teasing her when I asked her to say my

name and that of the manager, to see if I could distinguish the two.
I was terminated in May 2004, two weeks after the dismissal of the

EEOC complaint that was not investigated, and a day after informing

management that I overheard a coworker saying to the one that

accused me of harassing her by singing, "we're going to show him

the power of pu- - y.
I was denied unemployment insurance, June 2004, with a

Fact-finding interview done over the telephone that was not

reviewed or signed by me, as it should have been before it was made

part of the official record and used at my future appeal.
The subsequent appeal Aug. 2004 was biased, prejudiced, and

contained perjured statements by the witnesses for my former

employer. I am now told that the recording of the hearing does not

exist because it was transcribed.
I have initiated a suit in federal court, Jan.. 2005 that I cannot

pursue, due to the lack of time and funds necessary for an

undertaking such as this, and the skill I do not have in these

matters.
I have all but given up searching for representation, believing word

has gotten to many legal ears on the island and no one wants to go

against the state that has all but coddled and cuddled business here.
I have contacted the ACLU, and given them much information, but

they seem more interested in writing briefs for exotic entertainers,

arrested for doing lap dances. First they tell me they cannot help

unless the matter involves a government agency, then they tell me

they can if a decision is against me, then they tell me they do not

have the manpower and time. Each of the criteria, I met at the time I

contacted them.
Coincidentally, I find a lawyer, Roger Fonseca, at the firm

representing my former employer, is the national representative for

the Hawaii chapter of the ACLU. And their staff also has names that

are the same as those associated with Hawaii real estate. They

cannot help, but they can accept my information.
I have tried to interest many, many lawyers and firms by email,

letters and personal visits, to no avail. I have had a lawyer in San

Francisco who participated in a well-known case here try to find

someone without success.
This situation has been surrounded by complicity, cronyism, and bias.
I have written to the DOJ, only to have my information shuffled from

one agency to another, including the Department of the Interior, of

all places, and finally coming full circle to the Hawaii Department of

Labor. I do not think this was coincidence. At the HCRC, there is a

commission chair, I have found, married to one my former

employer's - one Coral Wong Pietsch.
Mrs. Pietsch is a general in the U.S. Army Reserve, and an attorney,

a very powerful position with ties to D.C., I'm sure. It has long been

my suspicion that this may have played a role in the lack of effort on

the part of officials that has attended this matter. Each party's

history I research has some relation to another, be it professional,

academic, and even familial.
I now look at web sites for all the organizations I sought help at -

the Governor and Lieutenant Governor, all representative's and

senator's offices, Legal Aid Society, Hawaii Dept. of Labor and the

DOL - national, EEOC - Hawaii, district, and national offices, NAACP

Hawaii, ACLU of Hawaii, Hawaii - Department of Health, HIOSH and

OSHA ( regional and national ), the Hawaii Office of Information

Practices, the ombudsman's office and Volunteer Legal Services of

Hawaii.
Concerning Volunteer Legal Services of Hawaii, I have recently

discovered that one of two lawyers they referred is an attorney at

the law firm representing my former employer, and the other is a

realtor in Honolulu, and also licensed to practice in California. And

another is the member of a firm with old ties to the Pietsch family.

Who were these lawyers going to "help"?
At the Hawaii Civil Rights Commission, and Hawaii Ethics

Commission, I find the persons responding to my letter, did business

with my former employers and my letter explaining the situation and

their reply stating they could do nothing, are the only

correspondence I had during their "investigations" or dismissals.
I have sought assistance at the Hawaii State Bar Association, where

the lawyers who are members of the Real Property and Financial

Services Section, are also affiliated with these other organizations,

or directly associated with my former employer, or the firm that

represents them - Torkildson, Katz, Fonseca, Heatherington, and

Moore.
The Real Property and Financial Services Section includes a lawyer I

was assisted by, one Andre Wooten, who at the time told me nothing

of his involvement with this organization.
He was suggested to me by church members and NAACP officer,

Alfonso Braggs. I pull up the staff or the particular board of directors

of these organizations and there are last names that are the same

and have some relationship, mostly with real estate, and more than

a few with ties to California.
Two names in particular are quite suspicious. Kouchi is at Volunteer

Legal Services. It was also the last name of the HR assistant at Title
Guaranty. Pang, is the name of a front desk worker at the YMCA,

whom I complained about signing for my mail. It is also that of an

Appeals Officer at Department of Labor - Security Appeals Referees

Office. Hirayama is the name of the appeals referee and also that of

the owner of the restaurant at the YMCA.
I mention the YMCA because in 2002, I had complained about what I
believed to be prostitution, facilitated by staff there. And when I
informed the supervisor at Title Guaranty, her response was to leave
well enough alone, after I informed her that I had, in my opinion,
angered some people there.
My subsequent report to the police department was investigated by

the police calling the YMCA and asking them if my suspicions were

true. I think you can see what position this left me in. In my lay

opinion, this was a sloppy and dangerous way to initiate and

conclude an Investigation. There are too many relationships here to

be mere coincidence, and are questionable, at least.
My information was passed by one Elaine Chao - Department Of

Labor, in D.C. to Tin Shing Chao Department of Labor here in Hawaii,

who used an erroneous date to nullify my complaint. This was after a

layover in California with Ms. Alison Pauly at the regional offices,

whose CASPA investigation stated that I should have made this a

written complaint, when Hawaii law states it does not matter,

whether written or verbal. Could she be related to the Paulys who

have donated to the University of Hawaii, and have owned land

here?
The complex in Hawaii that houses the Department of Labor is also

where the HIOSH offices and the Hawaii Civil Rights Commission

offices are located. This name, Pang, pops up in various places

dealing with state government and real estate. I now know these

agencies to be straw dogs that do everything but contend with the

status quo.
For the most part, the agencies that pretend to help, most notably

the NAACP and ACLU, only collect information and then say they can

do nothing; I wonder what happens to the information in a state that

treats confidential information as a commodity. Incidentally my

former employer's representation is one of the largest contributors

to Legal Aid Society.
I have applied for many positions since my termination, and have

only worked sporadically in spite of my efforts. I have registered

with many staffing agencies - Olympia, Hawaii Staffing, Snelling, and

Hawaii Temp, CTA Staffing which is now Bishop & Company,

Manpower, Kelly, and POI. I have not worked a complete week and

have not been contacted at all by some. I registered at Altres in

2004, and was not called in a year’s time before I returned. There, I

was terminated for, “not being proactive".

There is no confidentiality law here, and I believe this also has

worked against me. It - confidentiality - has been frequently cited by

my former employer's agents and state officials, only to protect their

self and facilitate their deceptive practices.

I mostly use the public library to use the Internet, i.e. write letters

and do research. Needless to say, this is not the most secure

environment to do this type of activity. And I have had problems at

this library with the computers and the staff.
At the library, I have seen the text change when I am typing,

without commands initiated by me. The printer is connected to the

computer at the librarians' desk. On one occasion, I was told by a

security guard that a librarian had complained about me harassing

her because I asked for her name to report her behavior.

After contacting the librarian's office, there is no record or

remembrance of this aspect of the report. This tactic of "bait and

switch" has been used on more than one occasion, by different

entities.

After not being online for 3 days I saw where someone had

requested an Army Knowledge Online account in my name, or I

should say my screen name. I saw an attorney - John L. Knorek -

from the firm representing my former employer enter the philosophy

department and ask for a librarian,

Kathy, by name.

Yee is the name of the head librarian at the State Library and the

name of a former employee of the United States Attorney's Office

and HCRC, did training for the Department of Justice, and worked for

the Massachusetts Attorney General. I sent most of this same

information to Sen. Ted Kennedy's offices in Massachusetts and was

told during a telephone conversation with the office that, being on

the Judiciary Committee, Sen. Kennedy could not get involved in

judicial matters.
Since this is the only avenue I have been given, I have asked the
district offices of the DOL to investigate by CASPA, Sept. 2005, and
have asked for an investigation for discrimination due to the whistle
blower aspect of the matter.
I believe this will be my only chance at a modicum of justice. But I
will always believe that more realistically this situation can be
defined by, 18 USC 241, 242 and 245.
Hawaii, I now entertain, is a state where the dollar is God, and

workers are only by a necessary evil to facilitate that gain.
The Director of Labor and Industrial Relations, Nelson Befitel, has
unashamedly professed his desire, and that of the state to relieve

the department of any obligation to penalize businesses for

infractions and, I can see where the natural sequence would be to

alleviate any scrutiny that would expose abuse of power by the

states employees.

It is no wonder; I have experienced what I have. All too often, in the
news here, the term "outsider" is given to any entity that would look

at what is practiced here. But there is a GOD that sees all and will

affect justice for the oppressed.
Letter sent to Mr. Fairfax

November 7, 2005

Richard E. Fairfax, Director
Directorate of Enforcement Programs (DEP)
U.S.. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20210
Dear Sir,
For the past two years at every step in this long railroad, from my
initial complaint filed at the EEOC, and subsequent to that, the HCRC;
the United States Commission on Civil Rights; the Department of
Justice; and finally through no effort of my own, having it wind up
at the Regional OSHA offices in San Francisco, I have steadily
maintained that I submitted a written complaint at the state HIOSH
offices, here in Honolulu.
I was told that much of what I sent to the DOJ had been sent to the
San Francisco OSHA offices. Evidently this written HIOSH complaint
was not among the papers.
Imagine my surprise when I got this letter from Mr. Traenkner,
informing me that I should not have made this a verbal complaint.
I retrieved the copy of the written complaint, made for me while at
the HIOSH offices, just to convince myself that those in power are
the ones mistaken, and now I believe with my whole being, they
are in actuality, deceitful and dishonest, practiced at covering up
embarrassing incidents, and downright criminal.
I am making a request to you for a review by your national offices,
where hopefully someone unbiased, with integrity, will do the right
thing. There was a Ms. Hirai in San Francisco that said she could see
the discrimination in this matter. Too bad it was not she that
conducted the investigation.
I only hope it is coincidence that there is a Hirai here in Honolulu
that is a lawyer and involved in the real estate business, and a
lawyer formerly in the firm representing my former employer.
Throughout this situation there have been relationships, I have
noticed in my opposition, which include professional, academic and
familial. It has long been my suspicion that those ensconced in
the cronyism here in
Hawaii have at each step facilitated the lack of effort in this matter.
I am now sure of what I have long suspected. This cover-up goes
much further than what happens here in Hawaii.
Sincerely,
Vernon Balmer Jr.

GENERAL DELIVERY
HONOLULU, HAWAII 96820
Chronology:


May 16, 2018: An email I sent to the National Republican Congressional

Committee., along with a reply from them with this same info,   

found under keyword search (nrcc ), only shows  1 result  -

the most current. Before I left the library this afternoon,

there were 2.
Mar 15, 2018: RE-report # 18-101410; "ASSAULT 3RD"
"LIEUT. blank will assign the investigation to a detective who can be reached at blank.
The initial OFF. who submitted the REport is C. SANO and is assigned to the
MAIN police station, telephone number blank. Those blanks are as seen on the card.
Mar 4, 2016: My coat containing (evidence) - a roll of film; thumb

drive; a cassette tape designated HPD; POLICE COMMISSION;

HOMESTREET & CPB, is stolen at the HAWAII STATE LIBRARY. This is

the seventh time evidence or evidence contained in items is stolen -

the third time at the same library, in addition
to various email accounts(evidence).
Jul, 2015: My blog (CPB & VERNON BALMER JR.) is taken down
without a "review" and no response to my inquiry. It was up for 7 years.
2012: The same account shows a login on the coming Sunday.
Apr. 2011: An account of mine shows me logging in on Sunday.
It couldn't have been me. The IP address is that of the Hawaii State
Public Library System, or state computers.
 
Jan. 14, 2011: Librarian, Michelle, says I must relinquish my place at
the computer to a man that came in after my card was reset and I

was at the computer. Ms. Diane Eddy the director gets within inches

of my face while at the station and repeatedly demands and requests

me to give up the session, and Ray, Star Security Guard, calls the

sheriffs to have Me removed from the library, after Ms. Eddy says I

am causing a disturbance. Ms. Eddy uses the term "as a courtesy to

me" when repeatedly demanding and requesting that I relinquish

the seat.
Aug. 7, 2010: My MP3 player(evidence) is stolen at the library.

Officer Roden makes it 'Lost Property'.
July 21, 2010: A bag containing police(evidence) reports made by

me are stolen at the library.
June 28, 2010: My bag(evidence) stolen at the Ala Wai.
July 16, 2009: My tax transcripts(evidence) are stolen at the State Library.
These included a set that was sent to me unsealed. There are
discrepancies in my name, address, wages reported, and
withholding.
Jun. 24 - Today, I go to the police station and inquire about these

two reports (199784 152479). I find that there is no statement filed
For either. One is for the bag, which did not contain the two

recorders(evidence) and two tapes when I claimed it. I also find Off.

Lee left of one recorder and the tapes from his report. Also, the

report number now jibes with the number in evidence, as it did not

when I claimed the bag.
May, 2010 - I updated my registration to vote in the 2008 election
because I had left my last address, although living in the same area

and having the same polling place - McCully. I voted in the last

national election at McCully. I went to the office in City Hall to

update again, this past Wednesday, for the special election coming

up. I was told that I hadn't done any action since 2006.
Apr. 2010 - I called an officer to report what I believe was a theft.
The officer told me that since I did not purchase the item and there
would be difficulty in obtaining fingerprints, he could not make it a
theft, but instead, MISC PUB. When I went to the Police Commission,

I was told any investigation would be hampered by the inability to

collect possible fingerprints.
Apr. 14, 2009 - The IRS tells me there is a 1099 in my name for

2007. I never applied for social security, never received a check

from social security, or cashed a check from social security. The SSA

tells me there is no record of a 1099 in my name.
Mar. 19, 2009 - Emails(evidence) I had in my AOL account have vanished. The
emails were between Ms. Mason and me when President Obama was

Senator of Illinois. Who would want them gone? Seems anyone can

come to the Hawaii State Library at any time and do anything they

want with, on, and at the public computers.
Aug. 18, 2008 - I go to the police station to get a copy of the report
made to Officer Porter. The statement is still not with the rest of the
paper work. My statement contained more detailed information
about what was inside, including my passport and birth certificate,

and numerous correspondences with government agencies.
Jul. 27, 2008 - I return to the police station to make another report
and statement, this time with Officer Porter.
Jul. 21, 2008 - I returned to the police station downtown to

complete the report with Ms. Aksionczyk, at 5:40 in the morning on

Monday and was told by the officer on duty at the receiving area that

she would be in at 6:00... I waited until 6:00 and inquired with a

different officer, and was told that she would not be at the receiving

area until 10:30 - 2:30. I tried again during these hours, without

Success. This has been 5 days now and no report has been

generated and I cannot get a number to reference concerning the

case. I need to know how to get the report filed and a number to

reference with further correspondence.
Jul. 19, 2008 - I made a report to an officer by the name of Lisa
Aksionczyk, on Saturday of this month, about a stolen

backpack(evidence) I left on the route E bus. Ms. Aksionczyk

suggested at the time, that I inquire at the lost and found

department of The Bus. I thought this was a good idea, so that a

Good Samaritan would not have the unpleasant experience of

someone thinking they were a thief.
I went to the nearest stop I knew the bus would stop at on its return
trip. I saw the driver, recognized as the one I rode with and waited
for him to stop. I asked if it was turned in. I was told no by the

driver. I asked the driver's name. He told me Raymond. I asked

where the bus terminated and Raymond told me Waipahu. I
subsequently found the bus terminates in Ewa.
RAYMOND LIED.
The only time I could check with The Bus lost and found would be

the following Monday, it is not open on weekends. I did call The Bus,

on Saturday, with an emergency report because there was important

ID in the backpack. I was told by the representative that no

backpack was turned in. On Monday I went to the transit center to

inquire in person, and was disappointed to be shown backpacks that

were not mine.
Jan. 2008 - Unlike the DCCA of Hawaii, who I supplied

documentation to, the Department of Health and Human Services

"Region 10", without documentation, finds that Dr. Au did violate
the privacy act by charging me too much for copies of my records.

But, Region 10 tells me they cannot precede on the 6 other

allegations.
1. Along with saying I did not see as well with the new glasses, I
said that the prescription that I was given was weaker than the one

I had the previous 7, count them, seven years. Your office, nor the

DCCA, responded to this charge.
2. The reason I asked Dr. Au to change the prescription was because

the NEW one, I repeat, was weaker in one eye. This was the only

alternative Dr. Au gave me other than accepting the weaker

prescription.
3. The "Vision Certificate" Dr. Au provides, had no license number

where it should have been and she did not sign it where it should

have been signed.
4. Dr. Au refused to give me photocopies of my records and did not

give me a reason, per her office's policy, when I asked for them in

her office.
5. Dr. Au charged me 2.00 dollars per page, totaling 20.00 dollars,
which I believe is exorbitant.
6. There are conflicting numbers on my records that I would like
explained. This, no one has addressed. And I doubt that my records

were reviewed by an impartial optometrist, as any reasonable

person would assume to be a part on what your office calls an

Investigation.
7. I was trespassed from Dr. Au's office for no other reason than

asking for copies of my files, and in her response to the DCCA she

says I was escorted out of her offices by mall security, which is a lie

by an optometrist that practices deceit.
Nov. 2007 - My complaint about Central Pacific Bank is not sent to

the FDIC regional offices in California. Instead it is sent to Kansas

City. Missouri. The response I get from FDIC says my concerns are

contractual, although I point out two misrepresentations by the

bank's compliance counsel, Judith A. Villarreal. Ms. Villarreal says I

did not contact Mr. Clint Arnoldus, Mr. Dennis K. Isono. I have

Certified Receipts and electronic verification from USPS that says I

did.
Coincidentally, there are officials at the Kansas City offices with the
name Villarreal: Jesse O. Villarreal Jr., Lisa M. Villarreal and Victor
Villarreal.
It is my opinion, that a person trained as a lawyer would verify facts
before submitting them in official documentation. Therefore, I can

only assume that Ms. Villarreal had a serious lapse in judgment, or

she was lied to by those she spoke with.
Mar. 2007 - My complaint to the Dept. Of Ed is refused on the

grounds that they do not fund any programs or activities at the

Hawaii State Public Library System, and therefore do not have

jurisdiction.
If the situation is threatening enough to cause a change in levels
moment to moment, it stands to my reason, it would remain at a

certain level until there is a sufficient enough change or stabilization

to bring it to a lesser level. But that's just me.
Oct. 17, 2006 - I submit a complaint to the Police Commission

relaying concerns about the treatment I experienced at the security

checkpoint at HPD District 1 the previous day. An investigator tells

me it is the policeman’s job to "interpret the law".
Returning to the station to locate an article I left, I am told by
Officer Kahele, in the presence of one officer Hung, and another, that
it is mandatory that I produce ID, and that I remove everything from

my pockets, and take off my belt before passing through the metal

detector.
I point out this information is not on the signs, and officer Kahele
says there will be no furthering of my purpose if I do not comply.

After complying, I am told by officer Kahele that I must sit down, or

she will not take my report. Previous to this occasion, when at the

HPD headquarters, I was never asked to remove everything from my

pockets and, or to remove my belt, or that I had to produce ID to

enter. Officer Lau, the sergeant for this post, tells me the same.
I am told by a detective that it is not mandatory to produce ID, "We
don't care who you are. Anyone has the right to come in here".

Sergeant Lau, who I am told is the officer in charge of the post, says

depending on the threat level, procedures may change day to day.
He says one may be required to remove everything from ones

pockets etc., or be required to submit to different procedures. I

inform him that on the same day, when I was there previously, I was

not required to do so. He informs me that the security level may

change from moment to moment.
Oct. 16, 2006 - I submit a complaint to HPD Internal Affairs relaying
concerns about not being asked to identify the driver of the vehicle
that hit me on the 8th of Sept., and the fact that the person who

stood as Chris Pa at the arraignment was not the driver of the car.
Oct. 6, 2006 - I go to the arraignment of A Mr. Chris Pa. I am

surprised to see that this Mr. Pa is not the driver I saw, while laying

on the hood of the car and peering through the windshield, and

definitely not the man I looked in the face and spoke to through an

opened window.
This may be due to the fact that I was not asked to identify the

person located, arrested, or cited, on the night of the incident or at

any subsequent time, until I see him at the arraignment. I am

directed by the presiding judge to inform the prosecutor’s office,

which I do.
Oct. 2, 2006 - I am told at traffic court there is no court date set,
but have found online there is one on Oct. 6, in room 4B, and I am

not included as the victim. I still get correspondence from the

insurer's agents telling me of medical coverage available, although I

told the driver, the responding officer, and previously the insurer's

agent, I am OK.
Sep. 21, 2006 - I go to City Hall to get a voter registration card and
am told it will cost .50 cents.
I am surprised to get a "Certificate", ala Lens Crafters, and ask is
this it? I am told yes by the clerk. Today, on "The Bus" I see a man

who says he works at the polls, who tells me there is still a little

yellow card that comes in the mail and is surprised to see the

"Certificate".
Sep. 8, 2006 - I am hit by a car bearing license plate JST 203, that

was stopped at a crosswalk. The driver is looking at me when he

accelerates. The driver doesn't wait for police to arrive. They find

him at his home. The police report reads Crime Code 550, which I am

told means, a collision with damage of more than 3000 dollars. I am

told the responding police officer decides if there will be an

Investigation.
This is More, Honolulu HOKUM.
This is the place where, those who would complain about

wrongdoing are persecuted, harassed, smeared and railroaded.
Where the perpetrators are bribed to keep quiet, or go along with

the cover-up, promoted, and transferred.
Sep. 7, 2006 - A security guard, Solomon Save a, badge number -

90187, at the Hawaii State Library, calls me a "ni - - er" twice" in the
library foyer, in a loud voice.
Aug. 10, 2006 - I have been told by Sen. Barack Obama's office,

where I sent this same correspondence, that someone from Sen.

Akaka's office would contact me, because Sen. Obama's office

forwarded the correspondence to them. I have yet to hear from Sen.

Akaka's office. Is there some assistance your office can give me?
Jul. 2006 - I have written to the Clint Arnoldus Denis Isono and

Susan Tachino asking them to explain, and have received no

response.
Letter Sent To Senator Obama
Sent: Wed, Jun 6 4:46 PM
Subject: Ms. Mason
Thank you for the assistance you have given. Please, do not contact
Senator Akaka’s office again, on my behalf. Unless there is some
necessary secrecy to an investigation he is doing, all I have received
from his offices is a letter in response to my inquiring about fund
for the Hawaii State Library. My concerns extend much further than

This.
Hopefully, the light being shed on activities in the Justice

Department will lend itself to some justice for me. Otherwise, it will

be nothing but justice delayed and denied.
Jul. 23, 2006 - An Optometrist, Kim Agena at a LensCrafters gives
me a prescription that is weaker than the one I had for the previous

7 years.
Doctor Au, a co-owner corrects this, but when I ask for photocopies

of my records the doctor refuses and gives me a hand written

“Vision Certificate" instead, that is not signed and does not contain a

license number where applicable. I have made a formal request in

writing. They have told me it will be at a cost of 20 dollars for 10

pages, which seems exorbitant and requested that I not seek

services at any Optometrists in LensCrafters.
The doctor, Au, is the co - owner along with Dr. Lau, of all the
Optometrist offices in LensCrafters, in Honolulu. In other words, I
cannot get an eye exam at LensCrafters. Is it considered rude or
threatening, to ask for one's records?
The advice I get here is nothing but a pack of lies.
The local ACLU has written me 3 differing and separate excuses why

they cannot or will not get involved, but never the conflict I found

below.
Apr. 2006 - I have had two librarians and a circulation clerk tell me
there is no report possible for stolen books. They must be lost. This
would have caused fees to be incurred by me. I had to take the

police report to the State Librarian's Office to settle the matter and

have the fines removed from my account. This all could have been

done at thE State Library.
Jan. 2006 - I have had two bank accounts affected. One because a

deposit I made to cover my use of overdraft protection was not

credited; they rescinded the "overdraft" and CLOSED my account.
The bank says it had to be held in the account for a day, to be
credited. Nowhere in the terms and conditions is this stated. The
depletion of the other account, I have been given no reason for.
Recently, I have made another complaint, in addition to the previous
five, to the USPS - OIG, about mail I am to receive or have sent. I sent
a certified letter to Richard E. Fairfax, Directorate of Enforcement
Programs - OSHA, in Washington D.C., on the 2nd of December.
The certification number is 7005 2570 0000 6898 2586. I look at the
track and confirm feature at USPS.COM and there is no record of it
having been delivered yet.
My case was dismissed May 24, 2006. How often does this occur? A

case is dismissed with two days difference between the dismissal

date and the termination date, (May 26, 2004) of the individual filing

suit. I will never understand how the three judges that made

decisions in this case could not see that it is too complex for anyone

who would consider themselves a pro se litigant, which I do not.
This has been an uphill battle against an opponent whose underwriters include
a Fortune 500 company, FNF.
Emails sent to lawyers:
Dear Vernon---- Your letter is alarming. I have over time, recieved

calls from persons very distressed by the Hawaii you know. In fact

I've been out of Hawaii for many months one reason being the

hostile and dysfunctional nature of things.I've even been jailed on a

charge it took the Judge when I finally got before one 2 minutes to

throw out.That all being said have no ability to be of help to you

other than to give you encouragement from this distance.

My Information:
I have resided here in Honolulu, Hawaii for almost 4 years now. I

had intended to stay here when I made the decision to come, and

was happy to have found employment relatively soon. I found a job

working with a temporary agency for 4 months.

I was hired by the client as a regular employee, Sept... 2002. On my

first day of regular hire, I was shocked to hear, "you know why they

hired him, don't you", from one of my co-workers. But, needing to

work for a living and being in a strange place, I thought it best to

ignore this, after all, I was hired.
At the beginning of my time with the client, Title Guaranty, I was

told by the onsite supervisor, that if I was to take a particular bus

and call her first, "there would be more work". The day after this I

handed her my time card, ready to seek another assignment, when

she acted as though she didn't know why I would be doing this.
When I explained, she countered with some nebulous words and

said I could work as long as the company needed me.
Subsequently, the same supervisor would tell me that I had to give

her a key or the combination to the lock on my locker, "in case of an
emergency". I thought this to be a strange request, as I could not
imagine an emergency in my locker that would require her or anyone

else to open it without me. I didn't respond to her request, and not

hearing anything further, I gathered that it was not company policy

at all.
Having a co-worker refer to me as "boy" and another ask me 3 times

- after giving an answer twice - "why do black people use the N

word?", did not make me feel very gregarious among them. I was

also told by a co-worker, "all Hawaii is a gang brah", and by another,

"it's all connected", the supervisor speaking about a former

supervisor said, "we made him quit because he thought he was

smarter than us, cause he was from the east coast".
We were housed in a basement of what is now a former Costco
building, with an air-conditioner as the only ventilation.
When I noticed mold growing in a hole, in the wall beneath the
air-conditioner, adjacent to the room where I sometimes, but mostly

my co-workers would eat lunch, I asked them about it and was told
that management was made aware of it and did nothing. I decided

to inform management myself, considering the untruths I had

previously heard from some. I was thanked by the assistant to the

woman in accounting who handled the repairs for the building.
 
I did not think it was a major undertaking by a very successful

company to fix this problem, and was surprised at the length of time

it was taking to address the situation, so I informed OSHA, Aug.

2003. This is when things started to go further south.
Coincidentally, the day after going to the OSHA offices, the next day

at work, my supervisor stated to a co-worker, "Vernon went to

OSHA." This information was not given to her or any co-worker, by

me.
When I went to OSHA, the employee did not give me any type of

reference number, or write one in the space provided on the

complaint form, nor did she inform me at that time that mold is not

OSHA'S jurisdiction, which is what I was told when I went to check

on the status of the complaint. Neither, did the employee inform me

of laws governing discrimination.
I was also told - it not being OSHA'S jurisdiction - the complaint was
referred to the Department of Health. It was like pulling teeth to get
an answer as to what office at the DOH it was referred to. Needless

to say I could not inquire about the possible disposition of the

complaint, not knowing where to inquire.
I made a complaint to the EEOC, Jan. 2004, and the Hawaii Civil

Rights Commission, Apr 2004, both of which were dismissed without

any investigation. Each agency sat back and waited for the

submission of the company's response, giving them numerous

extensions. Incidentally, I was contacted by the director of the

EEOC, asking me if I wanted to proceed, after I was shown a copy of

the company's response, which I don't believe is proper.
I now see in the EEOC's and the HCRC's own publications, matters

such as mine that were investigated and even adjudicated. During

the HCRC's lack of investigation, I only heard from them at the

intake and when I received their letter of dismissal.
I now find the investigator did business with my former employer. I
furnished the EEOC and the HCRC with names of co-workers who

said they would speak for me. They were not interviewed. I was

informed by an investigator at the EEOC that no one visited the site.
There was a similar situation here with UPS, where an employee was

fired for doing less egregious acts than his co-workers, which I

believe is the case here. I saw coworkers break company

equipment, cuss freely, ask for sexual favors, and bring children and

friends to the work site.
Throughout this experience I have been told by these agencies' staff

and lawyers, literally or in effect, "there is no smoking gun here".

This is only due to there being no investigation. In the least, there is

a pattern that should compel any thinking person to ask questions.
Subsequent to this, my work was sabotaged on more than one

occasion, and reports to management only resulted in them twisting

the situation in attempts to placate me and set me up for these

spurious accusations by my co-workers.
Each complaint of mine was a matter of my erroneous

"interpretation", as stated by management (Myron Koizumi), while

my co-workers complaints were valid descriptions of my

"misconduct".
As a result of the accusations, I was suspended, without pay,

pending an investigation for, I kid you not, a co-worker accusing me

of harassing her by clapping my hands and signing "Pink Cadillac",

and another saying, I was teasing her when I asked her to say my

name and that of the manager, to see if I could distinguish the two.
I was terminated in May 2004, two weeks after the dismissal of the

EEOC complaint that was not investigated, and a day after informing
management that I overheard a coworker saying to the one that

accused me of harassing her by singing, "we're going to show him

the power of pu- - y.
I was denied unemployment insurance, June 2004, with a

Fact-finding interview done over the telephone that was not

reviewed or signed by me, as it should have been before it was made

part of the official record and used at my future appeal.
The subsequent appeal Aug. 2004 was biased, prejudiced, and

contained perjured statements by the witnesses for my former

employer. I am now told that the recording of the hearing does not

exist because it was transcribed.
I have initiated a suit in federal court, Jan.. 2005 that I cannot
pursue, due to the lack of time and funds necessary for an

undertaking such as this, and the skill I do not have in these

matters.
I have all but given up searching for representation, believing word

has gotten to many legal ears on the island and no one wants to go

against the state that has all but coddled and cuddled business here.
I have contacted the ACLU, and given them much information, but

they seem more interested in writing briefs for exotic entertainers,

arrested for doing lap dances. First they tell me they cannot help

unless the matter involves a government agency, then they tell me

they can if a decision is against me, then they tell me they do not

have the manpower and time. Each of the criteria, I met at the time I

contacted them.
Coincidentally, I find a lawyer, Roger Fonseca, at the firm

representing my former employer, is the national representative for

the Hawaii chapter of the ACLU. And their staff also has names that

are the same as those associated with Hawaii real estate. They

cannot help, but they can accept my information.
I have tried to interest many, many lawyers and firms by email,

letters and personal visits, to no avail. I have had a lawyer in San

Francisco who participated in a well-known case here try to find

someone without success.
This situation has been surrounded by complicity, cronyism, and bias.
I have written to the DOJ, only to have my information shuffled from

one agency to another, including the Department of the Interior, of

all places, and finally coming full circle to the Hawaii Department of
Labor. I do not think this was coincidence. At the HCRC, there is a
commission chair, I have found, married to one my former

employer's - one Coral Wong Pietsch.
Mrs. Pietsch is a general in the U.S. Army Reserve, and an attorney,

a very powerful position with ties to D.C., I'm sure. It has long been

my suspicion that this may have played a role in the lack of effort on

the part of officials that has attended this matter. Each party's

history I research has some relation to another, be it professional,

academic, and even familial.
I now look at web sites for all the organizations I sought help at -

the Governor and Lieutenant Governor, all representative's and

senator's offices, Legal Aid Society, Hawaii Dept. of Labor and the

DOL - national, EEOC - Hawaii, district, and national offices, NAACP

Hawaii, ACLU of Hawaii, Hawaii - Department of Health, HIOSH and

OSHA ( regional and national ), the Hawaii Office of Information

Practices, the ombudsman's office and Volunteer Legal Services of

Hawaii.
Concerning Volunteer Legal Services of Hawaii, I have recently
discovered that one of two lawyers they referred is an attorney at

the law firm representing my former employer, and the other is a

realtor in Honolulu, and also licensed to practice in California. And

another is the member of a firm with old ties to the Pietsch family.

Who were these lawyers going to "help"?
At the Hawaii Civil Rights Commission, and Hawaii Ethics

Commission, I find the persons responding to my letter, did business

with my former employers and my letter explaining the situation and

their reply stating they could do nothing, are the only

correspondence I had during their "investigations" or dismissals.
I have sought assistance at the Hawaii State Bar Association, where

the lawyers who are members of the Real Property and Financial

Services Section, are also affiliated with these other organizations,

or directly associated with my former employer, or the firm that

represents them - Torkildson, Katz, Fonseca, Heatherington, and

Moore.
The Real Property and Financial Services Section includes a lawyer I

was assisted by, one Andre Wooten, who at the time told me nothing

of his involvement with this organization.
He was suggested to me by church members and NAACP officer,

Alfonso Braggs. I pull up the staff or the particular board of directors

of these organizations and there are last names that are the same

and have some relationship, mostly with real estate, and more than

a few with ties to California.
Two names in particular are quite suspicious. Kouchi is at Volunteer
Legal Services. It was also the last name of the HR assistant at Title
Guaranty. Pang, is the name of a front desk worker at the YMCA,

whom I complained about signing for my mail. It is also that of an

Appeals Officer at Department of Labor - Security Appeals Referees

Office. Hirayama is the name of the appeals referee and also that of

the owner of the restaurant at the YMCA.
I mention the YMCA because in 2002, I had complained about what I
believed to be prostitution, facilitated by staff there. And when I
informed the supervisor at Title Guaranty, her response was to leave
well enough alone, after I informed her that I had, in my opinion,
angered some people there.
My subsequent report to the police department was investigated by

the police calling the YMCA and asking them if my suspicions were

true. I think you can see what position this left me in. In my lay

opinion, this was a sloppy and dangerous way to initiate and

conclude an Investigation. There are too many relationships here to

be mere coincidence, and are questionable, at least.
My information was passed by one Elaine Chao - Department Of

Labor, in D.C. to Tin Shing Chao Department of Labor here in Hawaii,

who used an erroneous date to nullify my complaint. This was after a

layover in California with Ms. Alison Pauly at the regional offices,

whose CASPA investigation stated that I should have made this a

written complaint, when Hawaii law states it does not matter,

whether written or verbal. Could she be related to the Paulys who

have donated to the University of Hawaii, and have owned land

here?
The complex in Hawaii that houses the Department of Labor is also

where the HIOSH offices and the Hawaii Civil Rights Commission

offices are located. This name, Pang, pops up in various places

dealing with state government and real estate. I now know these

agencies to be straw dogs that do everything but contend with the

status quo.
For the most part, the agencies that pretend to help, most notably

the NAACP and ACLU, only collect information and then say they can

do nothing; I wonder what happens to the information in a state that

treats confidential information as a commodity. Incidentally my

former employer's representation is one of the largest contributors

to Legal Aid Society.
I have applied for many positions since my termination, and have

only worked sporadically in spite of my efforts. I have registered

with many staffing agencies - Olympia, Hawaii Staffing, Snelling, and

Hawaii Temp, CTA Staffing which is now Bishop & Company,

Manpower, Kelly, and POI. I have not worked a complete week and

have not been contacted at all by some. I registered at Altres in

2004, and was not called in a year’s time before I returned. There, I

was terminated for, “not being proactive".
There is no confidentiality law here, and I believe this also has

worked against me. It - confidentiality - has been frequently cited by

my former employer's agents and state officials, only to protect their

self and facilitate their deceptive practices.
I mostly use the public library to use the Internet, i.e. write letters
and do research. Needless to say, this is not the most secure
environment to do this type of activity. And I have had problems at

this library with the computers and the staff.
At the library, I have seen the text change when I am typing,

without commands initiated by me. The printer is connected to the

computer at the librarians' desk. On one occasion, I was told by a

security guard that a librarian had complained about me harassing

her because I asked for her name to report her behavior.
After contacting the librarian's office, there is no record or

remembrance of this aspect of the report. This tactic of "bait and
switch" has been used on more than one occasion, by different

entities.
After not being online for 3 days I saw where someone had

requested an Army Knowledge Online account in my name, or I

should say my screen name. I saw an attorney - John L. Knorek -

from the firm representing my former employer enter the philosophy

department and ask for a librarian,

Kathy, by name.
Yee is the name of the head librarian at the State Library and the

name of a former employee of the United States Attorney's Office

and HCRC, did training for the Department of Justice, and worked for

the Massachusetts Attorney General. I sent most of this same

information to Sen. Ted Kennedy's offices in Massachusetts and was

told during a telephone conversation with the office that, being on

the Judiciary Committee, Sen. Kennedy could not get involved in

judicial matters.
Since this is the only avenue I have been given, I have asked the
district offices of the DOL to investigate by CASPA, Sept. 2005, and
have asked for an investigation for discrimination due to the whistle
blower aspect of the matter.
I believe this will be my only chance at a modicum of justice. But I
will always believe that more realistically this situation can be
defined by, 18 USC 241, 242 and 245.
Hawaii, I now entertain, is a state where the dollar is God, and

workers are only by a necessary evil to facilitate that gain.
The Director of Labor and Industrial Relations, Nelson Befitel, has
unashamedly professed his desire, and that of the state to relieve

the department of any obligation to penalize businesses for

infractions and, I can see where the natural sequence would be to

alleviate any scrutiny that would expose abuse of power by the

states employees.
 
It is no wonder; I have experienced what I have. All too often, in the
news here, the term "outsider" is given to any entity that would look

at what is practiced here. But there is a GOD that sees all and will

affect justice for the oppressed.
Letter sent to Mr. Fairfax
November 7, 2005
Richard E. Fairfax, Director
Directorate of Enforcement Programs (DEP)
U.S.. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20210
Dear Sir,
For the past two years at every step in this long railroad, from my
initial complaint filed at the EEOC, and subsequent to that, the HCRC;
the United States Commission on Civil Rights; the Department of
Justice; and finally through no effort of my own, having it wind up
at the Regional OSHA offices in San Francisco, I have steadily
maintained that I submitted a written complaint at the state HIOSH
offices, here in Honolulu.
I was told that much of what I sent to the DOJ had been sent to the
San Francisco OSHA offices. Evidently this written HIOSH complaint
was not among the papers.
Imagine my surprise when I got this letter from Mr. Traenkner,
informing me that I should not have made this a verbal complaint.
I retrieved the copy of the written complaint, made for me while at
the HIOSH offices, just to convince myself that those in power are
the ones mistaken, and now I believe with my whole being, they
are in actuality, deceitful and dishonest, practiced at covering up
embarrassing incidents, and downright criminal.
I am making a request to you for a review by your national offices,
where hopefully someone unbiased, with integrity, will do the right
thing. There was a Ms. Hirai in San Francisco that said she could see
the discrimination in this matter. Too bad it was not she that
conducted the investigation.
I only hope it is coincidence that there is a Hirai here in Honolulu
that is a lawyer and involved in the real estate business, and a
lawyer formerly in the firm representing my former employer.
Throughout this situation there have been relationships, I have
noticed in my opposition, which include professional, academic and
familial. It has long been my suspicion that those ensconced in
the cronyism here in
Hawaii have at each step facilitated the lack of effort in this matter.
I am now sure of what I have long suspected. This cover-up goes
much further than what happens here in Hawaii.
Sincerely,
Vernon Balmer Jr.
