PRA-Fraud -1974

In 1974, California Attorneys, Legislators, and those in the Judiciary Committees for the California Senate and Assembly passed the "Political Reform Act" (PRA).

Unfortunately, the Attorneys and Legislators who put the system in place also put "loopholes" in instructions for disclosure statements that nullified the system.

The same thing then transpired again in 1985 with Real Estate Disclosure Documents and instruction confusion.

One mistake like this can be questioned. Two make it a pattern and when you fill in the rest, it's easier to understand what happened to California with far greater ease. It was a Legal Coup that now needs to be undone.

Summary

The Conflict of Interest Loophole for Elected and Appointed Frauds (and other key people)

In 1974, California Attorneys, Legislators, and those in the Judiciary Committees for the California Senate and Assembly passed the "Political Reform Act" (PRA).

That included the creation of the SEI 700 Form ( Statement of Economic Interest form).

That form requires key public servants (elected, appointed and employed) to disclose everything about potential economic conflicts of interest including stocks, bonds, investments, dividends, trusts, businesses owned, real estate, w2 employment, contracting work, spousal and child interests, gifts, and more.

It also established a government funded, state wide "Regulator", the Fair Political Practices Commission (the FPPC) to oversee the document, audit, and enforcement, system.

The SEI 700 form is very detailed. It requires far more information than a Tax Return because it asks about assets, familial interests, and holdings as well. It is seemingly appropriate.

Unfortunately, the Attorneys and Legislators who put the system in place also put "loopholes" in instructions for disclosure statements, with statements like (paraphrasing),

"You need not disclose your primary residence or second homes if there is no rental income and/or not in your jurisdiction ".

Most people's LARGEST ASSETS are their primary home and secondary home. Furthermore, a person living in a rental who might be obtaining below market rent is an obvious concern.

Why are they asking everyone for ALL their assets , down to $2500 stock holdings or minuscule gifts from others, but not requiring primary residency address and detailed lending information about all their largest assets?

The federal government asks for loan information from Federal Politicians, yet in California they don't even demand primary residence address information?

Thus, the system was not a system at all. It was Faux.

There are other problems with spousal and sibling identification too... paraphrasing...

"You need not disclose your spouses name and you need not disclose their income if they are a public servant"

How then is anyone supposed to know who they are and what to check?

Judge Carrie Panetta mentions nothing about her spouse being a sitting Congressman, yet a simple review of his Federal Disclosures seems to reveal information she should have disclosed ?

With this "non-oversight" oversight system, California Attorneys, their brethren and friends in legislature who passed the Political Reform Act of 1974, and the Attorneys at the FPPC appointed to oversee this had everyone looking in one direction while massive conflicts of interest and disclosure fraud were and are transpiring right under everyone's noses -- and the FPPC and Civil Attorneys will say it's all okay because the law their crooked brethren passed decades ago says it's so.

This is a good example of a "commercial hoax".

Examples of Economic Influence and Fraud Vectors unaddressed by the 1974 Political Reform Act

Below is an example of real estate related transactions and or situations that can go completely unknown if ALL real estate related matters are not required for disclosure -- with no exceptions:

A Politician can be a member of a European or Asian Royal family, the owner of a $400M Castle in their homeland, and the the owner of a $40M family home located somewhere in the legal district they are running in, yet claim they are but a humble public servant with no real estate disclosure requirements.
A Political Candidate or sitting politician can be given homes in Puerto Vallarta and Milan 1 year prior to running for office with no real estate dislosure requirements.
A sitting Politician can buy a home from the Cartel for 95% below market value in a private real estate sale with no disclosure requirements. (see Howard Lutnick home purchase next to Epstein for $10. This seems to be common among Masons as well. )
A sitting Politician can get a preferential loan from local banker with no way to check it if you don't have an address, and no disclosure requirements . (Lower than market interest rate, waiver on points and commissions, etc)
A sitting Politician can get preferential Tax Assessment from Assessor-Clerk-Recorderwith no way to check it if you don't have an address, and no disclosure requirements . (see Glenn Church concerns related to his 772 sf primary residence where he also seems to earn more than $1000/month for the same space, for example)
A sitting Politician gets preferential treatment from the Permitting Department with no way to check it if you don't have an address, and no disclosure requirements . (see Glenn Church concerns related to 3-5 cabins on one property zoned for a single family residence or the home he calls his primary residence of the tax assessor that seems to have multiple homes on it and had a non-permitted garage approved after build, or example)
A sitting Politician may be living in a home rent free or at below market value courtesy of influencers with no way to check it if you don't have an address, and no disclosure requirements .
A sitting Politician from California can be added to an LLC or S Corp with real estate in Breckenridge and Vail Colorado for personal use whenever desired with no disclosure requirements .
etc etc etc

Once you see how many ways real estate can be used to influence politicians and how many ways California Politicians may have been influenced with seemingly no need to disclose -- the breadth of the "faux" and "hoax" becomes apparent quickly.

In Monterey County, Assessor-Clerk-Recorder Marina Camacho's SEI 700 Audits reveal she was appearing and disappearing properties with no proper recording and she's the one who's supposed to over see the documents of all others in her county.

In Monterey County, Glenn Church's Wife is now the beneficiary of multi-generational real estate related LLCs, and she owns an LLC that is then in a direct partnership with an LLC that is owned by Commercial Real estate brokers with a massive network of real estate related investors and all of that was omitted in disclosures -- and it would be impossible to audit conflicts now just due to the nature of the complex involvements.

But why did they think they could get away with this? Wouldn't the Judges have a field day with this? And how did they get away with it for so long?

The "Naive Initiates" and how they became part of "the BIG Club"

A review of SEI 700 forms from first time candidates and new filers with seemingly little to no prior political connections reveals something concerning.

Most who review the form without reading the instructions would not feel instructions were needed. The form implies they are seeking all potential economic conflicts of interest and every possible category seems covered.

Thus, first time Candidates and new filers spill their guts on their forms. But, then, oddly, within months or a year or two, it's as if "they got the memo" and realized they could cheat, so they start checking "none" and away they go.

Judge Ian Rivamonte of Monterey County is the best example of this found so far.

Rivamonte provides a lot of details about a net worth well over 1 Million dollars, a trust, a home / primary residence outside of Monterey County, an LLC, and various assets on his first SEI 700 form. He looks like he does it properly when he took office after a bizarre appointment by Gavin Newsome.

Then a year later, all of a sudden, he has nothing to disclose.

It seems HIGHLY LIKELY someone from the FPPC, a fellow judge, or a handler of some sort spoke to him between those two filings. The chances of him having just gone back and read the instructions and gone from Honest Abe to "none" in one round seems slim.

The Comedian George Carlin is famous for saying , "It's a BIG Club and you ain't in it. They have the Judges in their pockets... etc etc".

Many conspiracy theorists will freely state "yeah, they're all in on it" -- but that means little until you understand how they are all brought into the game.

What this reveals is the way an otherwise naive Legal Lobby member can be brought into the game. In this example it was a Judge. But the same can be said for people turned Politicians at the City, County and State level. And once they lie once under penalty of perjury -- those reviewing the documents who know they've lied now have leverage on them -- and then, "they have them in their pockets".

It's important to understand the mechanics of how they do it if the system is to be corrected.

It's also important to ask, "Why hasn't the media reported on this before?".

All this was gleaned from instructions for one of the most relevant forms needed for community oversight of conflicts of interest -- and didn't we all believe the Media was doing that for us?

The FPPC e-filing Debacle - Bifurcated Filing now on the loose as well!?

County Supervisors have County jurisdiction, but in some cases they deal in decisions that may influence other counties and give up rights of county members to multi-county entities

Some time ago it was deemed their county filed SEI forms, which are filed with the Clerk of Elections, the Clerk of the County, and/or the Clerk of the Board also needed to be forwarded to the FPPC for additional state oversight.

In 2025 the FPPC established a new policy for County Supervisors. They are now required to e-file their SEI 700 information with the State directly. Most might assume their county e-filing would simply be forwarded to the state OR they might email them their county form to comply.

No. Not at all.

The FPPC has established a different e-file system that is not tied to county filing at all -- and this allows County Supervisors to file different data sets with the County and the State -- creating an opportunity for "bifurcated filing" -- where different data was filed with county and state to conceal different facts from different oversight groups ( See Glenn Church, 2024, 2025 and 2026 filings for example).

This exposes the FPPC in a conspiracy with 58 clerks in implementing illogical document control systems that invite fraud and force a lot more work for auditors. Nobody actually concerned with Document Control and efficient oversight should have ever agreed to this.

Who would do this and why?

The FPPC - Overseers of Faux, but are they "physically crooked" too?

Below are images from the FPPC website of the 5 commissioners and key executives of the FPPC.

When challenged about the nature of the fraudulent loopholes, these are the people that will say, "The law states they don't have to so they don't have too" -- as if we are supposed to believe their legal brethren who made up the laws -- with the approval of their legal brethren in the Judiciary Committees as if they were sincere when they did it.

These are the people most of us realize must be able to think rationally and reasonable about laws as well as the enforcement of them to keep us all safe, but they are doing the opposite?

One concern that really hops out is the fact that a woman who seems to have Chinese ancestry, and a PhD in Materials Engineering, is the Clerk for the FPPC. The reason that's a concern is because engineers are taught to see patterns. They can see them easier than others, and a very quick review of just a handful of SEI 700 forms reveals an ability to use pattern recognition only to identify fraudulent behavior and mental health concerns. While this is fully speculative and supported with no facts -- the last thing Californians should want is someone with potential loyalties to China sitting in the document review seat for all of California -- especially given the level to which the filers of the forms have learned to cheat in ways that are not overly hard to discern with pattern recognition.

However, there is something else that stands out when those photos are compared as well. I have come to notice "facial asymmetry" more since COVID -- and when I look at this photo gallery it seems like 60-70% of the people have what appear to be facial asymmetry issues. If in fact that can be verified in person, that may raise larger concerns for some of us. Facial Asymmetry is a characteristic often found in Royal and Banking families that results from inbreeding to protect their money and commercial secrets. Are some of these people related to Royal and Banking families by chance?

Who was involved?

In 1949 a man named John R. McDonough Jr was a young attorney back from service in WW2 where he served in intelligence. Historically it seems he was the son of Irish Immigrants with no major financial or familial ties. At that time he worked with a few others to get the state of California to eliminate British Common Law as a backstop for civil law. The California Civil Legal system fell into chaos for 2 years. The CA Bar eventually petitioned Congress to reimplement the British Common Law backstop. During that time the major Real Estate Title Companies were among the commercial winners of the Chaos and those all track back to United Kingdom underwriters. Whoever tried that stunt was crazy and chaos loving.

From 1950 to 1969 McDonough was engaged as Legal Faculty at Stanford along with groups that were seeking to "reform" civil legislation. Under the hood, it seems he was actually making some parts of civil law so complex with exceptions and loopholes he was turning himself into the resource needed to understand nuance. During this period he also served as the a US Assitant Attorney General to Lyndon B. Johnson, who purportedly engaged in similar schemes with Texas law.

When McDonough entered private practice in 1969ish, he setup shop in the Las Angeles area. His billable rate then was $500/hour when all others pushing the envelop were in the $125 to 200/hour price range.

We have facts that show he was involved with the California Association of Realtors in the late 1970's and supported the implementation of a fraudulent statute, CIV 1102 in 1985 that benefitted Brokers and the legal lobby to no end, and at this time we are assuming he may have been involved in this RPA as well, but we've yet to find any smoking gun / direct connection yet.

We will be adding the names of the Attorneys and Politicians who sponsored the bill and shuttled it through the Judciary Committees in the next revision of this report.

Summary

The 1974 Political Reform Act fraud established an oversite statute and oversight system that looked proper on the surface, but established a playing field ripe for pursuing conflicts of interest via real property transactions and related relationships -- and you are going to see a similar act done gain in 1985 realated to real estate disclosure forms as well (CIV 1102 fraud).

Initially, only Attorneys, those in the Legislature paying close attention to the Judicial Committee proceedings, and key politicians might have realized what had been passed.

However over 52 years, it's become obvious a LOT more filers have been coached or figured it out.

What has transpired as a result of this legislative fraud has been a slow percolating destruction of the moral, ethical and legal framework for political oversight. What's left now is barely being held together by any threads -- and hopefully, this helps explain one key way in which this destruction came about.

If this article resonates with you, you should continue your reading with the CIV 1102 fraud executed in 1985. It has similararties in that it's tied to disclosure documents and the creation of improper instructions that defeated the purpose.
