Response to post #40: Thank you for your thoughts on the FBI Don, I really want to believe that. By coincidence Time magazine’s March 22 Cover Story was “10 Ideas for the Next 10 Years” and Important Trend Number 9 was “The Twilight of the Elites” which had the opening paragraph that sounds like somethings you have said: “In the past decade, nearly every pillar institution in American society — whether it's General Motors, Congress, Wall Street, Major League Baseball, the Catholic Church or the mainstream media — has revealed itself to be corrupt, incompetent or both. And at the root of these failures are the people who run these institutions, the bright and industrious minds who occupy the commanding heights of our meritocratic order. In exchange for their power, status and remuneration, they are supposed to make sure everything operates smoothly. But after a cascade of scandals and catastrophes, that implicit social contract lies in ruins, replaced by mass skepticism, contempt and disillusionment.” http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/articl… QUESTION FOR YOU DON: Isn’t it way past due time that all San Diegans get outraged over the tsunami of corruption in and destruction of San Diego you have been reporting for decades, along with the “well-researched document outlining the fraud” produced by the FBI and SDPD that you mentioned? If so, the FBI has to make the arrests of all the corrupt San Diego politicians, judges and other establishment elite that you have exposed, because as you say locals like “Dumanis wouldn't touch it because it would implicate her friends.”

Response to post #25, 26, 27 & 28: The tragedy for America today has already been the fact that the FBI allowed bin Laden to attack and slaughter Americans on 9/11. So their failures to protect San Diegans from the GOP Establishment and the totally corrupt San Diego justice system is becoming one more historical tragedy that you keep documenting with your excellent investigative reporting that gives the FBI all the proof they need to save our Democracy. But another truth is that the GOP is allowed to destroy our Democracy not only by the FBI but also by the majority of San Diego citizens who choose to look the other way, watch and do nothing to save American Democracy. It has to be totally frustrating for an excellent investigative reporter like yourself to continuously provide the FBI with proof of criminal activities by the San Diego GOP and know that the FBI will never protect us from GOP corruption that has been allowed to destroy the lives of too many San Diegans for too many decades with no end in sight until San Diego crashes and burns like the WTC holocaust that the FBI allowed. But history also documents far too many cases of failures of democracies before ours, such as the fall of German Democracy to the Nazis before WWII, and now the fall of American Democracy to the GOP. We never learn from the lessons of history, so the ongoing GOP destruction of our education system make the Fall of American Democracy inevitable because the last decade including the Bush-Cheney Autocracy and the current congressional republicans who keep proving that to be the goal of the GOP. It is Time For San Diegans To Fight Back using the proof of destructive GOP destruction you keep providing Don, but you also keep proving that the FBI will never put them in jail in time to save us from ourselves.
