Ex-councilmember Frye sniffs conflict, sues city

Dorian... in the past 3 years, I have been in many meetings, court meetings and contacts with the Office of the City Attorney as a plaintiff... **Behind the scene**, they remind me of **Done Corleone** in **God Father**... Deputy City Attorneys and the City Attorney, easily commit outrageous unlawful conducts and violate the law with peace of mind... someone should sue them...someone should sue the City Attorney... they are against the public of San Diego and they should not have peace of mind in violating the law... unfortunately, they have peace of mind in violating the law.

Ex-councilmember Frye sniffs conflict, sues city

My name is Farhad Jampour Bastani. I am former employee of the City of San Diego who has been involved in multiple cases against the City as a pro se plaintiff. In general, Office of the City Attorney is a corrupt, dishonest and abusive office. During litigations, they frequently commit various shocking unlawful conducts such as **Perjury**, violation of state and federal **penal codes**, **obstruction of justice**, **abuse of judicial process**, **harassment**, **concealment of material facts**, **causing willful delays**, etc... Once in 2015, I even decided to sue Jan Goldsmith and declared this matter to the court... Office of the City Attorney even do not care about public interest... I was a whistle blower against the conduct of the city against "**Public Records Act**" and the City negligence against **Public Safety** which has resulted in severe injury to public, Office of the City attorney did whatever unlawful conducts they could to prevent my case being surfaced and addressed by the court... The deputy City Attorneys in the Office of the City Attorney are very well trained for "Fraudulent Concealment" and even committing unlawful **obstruction of justice**.... Even if a plaintiff is a pro se plaintiff against the City, there has been always risk of fraudulent fabrication of allegations by The Office of the City Attorney to prevent and threat pro se plaintiffs not to pursue their complaints.The subject matter of this article is not surprising to me at all... Office of the City Attorney is an abusive and mafia type office and should be reformed. They are against the public interest of the people of San Diego... I very well know that individuals such as Jan Goldsmith acted like he was above the law.

District Attorney yet to file charges against former Poway Schools chief

Dorian....I am former employee of the City of San Diego...I am in possession of documents that during my employment in the City, the following individuals in the City participated in stealing about $150,000 from Public Fund in projects of "Camino Del Sur Inside Lane Widening, T6". The fund was stolen by submission of an Unlawful Change Order by brother of one of the City managers, who was the CEO of Black Mountain Ranch, LLC (Developer). 1- Darren Greenhalgh (Deputy Director) 2- Lisa Adams (Section Head) 3- Mike Arnold (Supervising engineer) 4- James Nagelvoort (Director of the City of SD Public Works Department who attempted to fraudulently conceal this robbery type financial corruption). 5- David Zoumaras (Deputy Director of the City Field Engineering Division who fraudulently attempted to conceal this robbery type financial corruption). 6- Daniel Mottola (Manager of HR in the City who fraudulently attempted to conceal this conduct). 7- Hadi Dehghani (Director of the City Personnel Department who fraudulently attempted to conceal this conduct) I was a whistle blower about this matter and even received items in my Performance Evaluation. I am in possession of the evidences and Email Communications about this conducts, in case you decide to publish them in San Diego Reader.

County worker’s racial slur didn’t infer he was a “lover”

Dorian...Can you publish an Article about the Termination of my Employment too? My name is Farhad J. Bastani. I am former employee/engineer of the City of San Diego. I was a "Whistle Blower" in the City against the conducts of the City against "Public Record Act" and "Public Safety". Please see the attached picture...in 2015 and during a litigation, I discovered an email communication between two managers/decision makers against my employment, James Nagelvoort (Director) and David Zoumaras(Deputy Director)... among many other strong/evidences , I discovered in 2015 and 2016 that the Actual decision against my employment was NOT even termination and was "5 days suspension without pay"(although this one was also wrongful)....Since 2014 until present, I have been involved in multiple litigations against the City and although I presented high count of "Strong Evidences" in support of my claim, both Office of the City Attorney and San Diego Superior Court fraudulently did not let me to pursue the litigations and repeatedly and unlawfully OBSTRUCT my claim and litigation.... I was Pro Se Plaintiff in multiple cases and outrageously subjected to abuse and unlawful conducts during litigations...see the attached discovered email...Even such a simple email was sufficient to prove that the termination of my employment was wrongful. There are some statements in the attached email such as "We would like to suspend him for 5 days without pay" and "Yes...a suspension is OK..."..... No public entity and no judge/court in the SOIL OF THE U.S. can switch from "Mild decision of 5 days suspension without pay" to "Outrageous decision of Termination", although even 5 days suspension without pay was not correct too. It is ridiculous that a discriminatory court do not let me to pursue litigations since 2014 until present and cooperate with Office of The City Attorney to Obstruct my Claim....San Diego Superior Court is a very corrupted court the same as Office of the City Attorney....It would be great if you could publish an article about the termination of my employment... http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2017/a…

County worker’s racial slur didn’t infer he was a “lover”

Dorian... I am a U.S. Citizen with Iranian (Middle Eastern) National Origin...I have been a target of Racial/Ethnicity slurs for Numerous (Tens of Times) in different work places since the time of the beginning my new life in the U.S. I even resigned from my first job in the U.S. because of this matter although I had been awarded with "Employee of the Month" and "Employee of the Season". Some of the racial slurs I received in different work places were that "**Harsh**" that even subjected me to "**Shock**" and "**Temporary Numbness in whole body **" for about 10-20 seconds. At the instance of receiving Harsh Racial Slur, one may feel that a "Flow of Clod Blood" circulate rapidly in the body simultaneous with feel of Temporary Numbness in whole body. Unfortunately, there is no actual legal protection against such conducts, particularly in a "Public" and/or "Local Government Organization". I did some research to analyze the psychology of such individuals who make Harsh Racial Slurs in the work place. some of them make racial slur because of their belief about social matters (1 st group) BUT some of them make racial slurs because of their "Personality Deficiencies (2nd group)" in making "Harsh Racial Slurs" is part of their "**Psychological Defense Mechanism**". In some subjects of **psychology**, people are being categorized based on psychological defense mechanism such as "REPRESSION", "SUPPRESSION", "REGRESSION", "DENIAL", "**DISPLACEMENT**", "RATIONALIZATION", "COMPENSATION", "INTELLECTUALIZATION", "ACTING OUT", "INTROJECTION", "IDENTIFICATION", "PROJECTION", "SUBLIMATION", "UNDOING", "REACTION FORMATION", "IDEALIZATION", "ANTICIPATION", "ALTRUISM", "AVOIDANCE", "HUMOUR", "ISOLATION", "FANTACY", "AFFLIATION", "DEVALUATION", "TRIVIALIZING", "DEFLECTION", "AIM INHIBITION", "SPLITTING", "WITHDRAWAL", "SOMATIZATION", "CONVERSION", "COMPARTMENTALIZATION", "DISSOCIATION", "OMNIPOTENCE", "SYMBOLIZATION", "AUTISTIC FANTACY", "RESISTANCE", "HELP-REJECTING COMPLAINING".... After reading your article and based on my experience, the supervisor who made Racial Slur against the African-American Lady, is suffering from "**Deep Psychological Complexities**" and used the " Specific Psychological Defense Mechanism" known as "**Displacement (see the above list)**" for his own "Mental Complexities Discharge". I believe that the supervisor has "**Deep Old Unresolved Psychological Complexity**" and has tried to transfer his deep personal unresolved mental suffering to another in form of "**Racial Slur**".

City to pay for public-records case fumble

Cassander...my name is Farhad J. Bastani. I am former employee of the City...I was a Whistle blower in the City against many unlawful conducts of the City...let me tell you about one of the problems that you do not see which is "Millions of Dollars of Waste of Public Fund in CIP projects". 1- The total annual budget of CIP projects in the City is about $400 Million. 2- There are many CIP projects in the City and the responsible Division in the City to control/inspect the "Quantity/Quality of the material used during construction ", "Invoices" , "Change Orders" and other payments to the contractors/developers and subcontractors is "The City of San Diego Field Engineering Division" which is located at 9485 Aero Dr., San Diego, CA 92123. 3- As an example, suppose that a approved budget of the typical "Slurry Sealing CIP Project" for 300 street sections is about $1.5 M. There are many CIP projects that the approved budget is unnecessary "HIGH" and "Uncontrolled" . As a result, during construction, contractors willfully "Over Charge" the projects in such situation and submit many Change Orders and abuse other over charging techniques. In such situation, many supervisors and inspector with confidence on the so called "Sufficient Budget" of the projects, do not properly inspect the quantities, change orders and invoices. 4- This is "Negligence against Public Interest and Public Fund". 5- I was a resident engineer in the City. During my employment, I had many arguments about this matter with supervisors and contractors for "Over Charging the CIP Projects from Public Fund". Unfortunate, in all instances supervisors interfered and their response to me was "DO NOT WORRY! THE PROJECT HAS SUFFICIENT BUDGET" 6- I had witnessed that there were between $50k-$100k overcharging as an example in a $1.2 M CIP projects. Just imagine who much overcharging exist in a total of $400,000,000 annual CIP Project?

City to pay for public-records case fumble

My name is Farhad Bastani. I am former employee of the City. In the past an article published in San Diego Reader about my issues with the City and conducts of the City against "Public Records Act" and "Public Safety". https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2016/oct/26/c… City willfully withheld information and causes "Calculated Delays" during litigations. I am in possession of evidences that the City even "Destroy" and/or "Fabricate Fraudulent documents" and Judges easily disregard such serious conducts against Public Records Act and opponent parties.Office of the City Attorney is very well experienced in causing "Willful/Calculated Delays" and "Concealment of Material Facts". I had repeatedly opposed this conduct of the City in two(2) different cases but I was a Pro Se Plaintiff and the judges did not take me as a serious party in litigations. the City of the San Diego is a very corrupted organization. the relations among its managers is like "MAFIA"! I know Deputy City Attorney Catherine Richardson. In my latest lawsuit against the City she and another Deputy City Attorney, Keith Phillips, committed "Abuse of Judicial Process" to cover up and conceal the committed serious unlawful conducts. Judges should cease "Blind Supporting" the City of San Diego. It is a very corrupted organization. I was a Whistle blower against the conducts of the City against "Public Safety" and "Public Record Act" and they fraudulently set me up for terminating my employment. There are many irresponsible managers in the City who have caused too many injuries and damages to the people of San Diego.

Contraceptive device nightmare

Dorian... do some research and write an article about **CHANTIX** too !!! You can see Chantix Ad. in the TV. Chantix is a "**Quit Smoking Cessation**" which is the product of PFizer Inc.... There have been **Hundreds Reports of committing Suicide** during and after taking Chantix and various known and unknown neurological, psychological and psycho-neurological injuries.... I have heard that consuming Chantix is going to be banned in Canada... several years ago PFizer settled a $250,000,0000 class lawsuit against Chantix...Unfortunately PFizer is a powerful company and do not let Chantix being removed from the U.S. Market by all means and influence because of the company profits on Chantix... I am one of the victims of Chantix and since 2010, I am dealing with the serious injuries caused by Chantix... This medication has many side effects and many of the horrible side effects are not even warned on its box....People should be aware of all of the horrible side effects of Chantix before taking it....As one of the victims of Chantix, I strongly believe that Chantix is a high risk medication and should be removed from the market....Many of the serious and unknown side effects of Chantix trigger and gradually develop and diagnose after years...I know that some doctors even recommend their patients not to take Chantix, while PFizer advertise it in the Media.

City still hopes to prevent mayor from taking stand in deadly crosswalk lawsuit

Dorian… in your article it has been published that the Vehicle had traveled 68 Ft. before full stop in Canon Street. In fact, even if you use the “Google Map Scale” for rough Measurements on the Satellite Map, if the required SSD was being fulfilled for the location of the Crosswalk in Canon Street, DAVID HOBAN, the Driver of the SUV WOULD NEVER COLLIDE with AAVANGE FAMILY, even if the Bushes and/or any tree had OBSTRUCTED his view. In fact, David Hoban, had quick Perception/ Reaction Time. In your Article dated 03/01/2017, there is a following statement from one of the Residents of Point Loma, Richard Snapper: ..........“I mean, I’m an outdoor guy… I would not even walk across it that second time I visited there. I chose to go to the middle of the block…rather than going to the crosswalk.”........ In fact, theoretically, Richard Snapper is true based on the calculations of SSD. The Stopping Sight Distance is in the Middle of the Block.

City still hopes to prevent mayor from taking stand in deadly crosswalk lawsuit

Dorian… based on the SSD Formula the “Required Design Stopping Sight Distance” at speed limit of 40 Mph. is : G=0 for Horizontal Circular Curve t= 2.5 Sec. a= 11.2 ft/sec.^2 then: SSD= 1.47* 40*2.5 + (40^2)/ (30* (11.2/32.2))= 300.33 ft. Which is exactly the same as the SSD listed in AASHTO charts and other guidelines. Even at speed limit of 30 Mph., the SSD is: SSD= 1.47* 30*2.5 + ( 30^2)/ (30* (11.2/32.2))= 196.5 ft. In fact, if you see the Google Satellite Image of the Circular transition of Catalina Blvd. to Canon St., the Crosswalk is DANGEROUSLY located FAR WITHIN the required design Stopping Sight Distance, while the start point of SSD (ie. Observing the Crosswalk by drivers) even at best conditions, is located on the Transition Curve of Catalina Blvd. to Canon St. Even if the Crosswalk was not being located FAR WITHIN the Stopping Sight Distance and complied with the Safety Factors in the above formula and Standards, THE DRIVER OF THE SUV WOULD NOT COLLIDE WITH AAVANGE FAMILY, EVEN IF the BUSHES and TREE obstructed his vision on that Spot. In fact, regardless of any other matters in Point Loma Case , the location of the Crosswalk did not have any Traffic Engineering Design Safety Factors and the City had to “Remove the Crosswalk” and/or at Minimum Implement The Maximum Possible Visual Warning Signs” started from Catalina Blvd. City does not have any defense in Point Loma Case. Please note that, I left these comments on this Articles, without any coordination with the Attorney of Aavange Family .
