If I was warned fourteen years ago about my health deteriorating as it has from pesticides, I would never have set foot in MS. There are approximately one hundred individuals on the “Sensitivity List” in the entire state of Florida. Three are from Martin County and I am one of those three! I question…WHY SO FEW??? Cover-up???

Let me give you a factual example of the total lack of knowledge our residents have concerning pesticides: In the April 2007 issue of the Mariner Sands Compass, MS’s “Play for Pink Committee” sponsored a tournament or the fight against Breast Cancer. My original homebase was Nassau County, Long Island. Suffolk county borders on Nassau County. Now read this girls. Don’t you feel the slightest bit hypocritical and nervous? I believe I have the right to fight for you gals since my mother had both breasts removed. She, of course, lived on Long Island. If you review my sight you will come across men’s issues attributed to pesticides.

Counties Begin Maintaining Greens the Organic Way

By DONNA KUTT NAHAS
Published: July 25, 1999
FOR nearly a half-century, a steady diet of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides have helped keep Long Island’s golf courses looking lush. But pressure from environmental groups and suspicions that the chemicals may be a factor in the Island’s high breast cancer rate has led to a restriction in the use of chemicals at some municipal golf courses. And now, both counties are building or planning organic public courses.
Golf courses are under Florida’s 487 statute, and MS served me a notice of pesticide/fungicide application under the 482.2267 statute because I am listed on Florida’s “Sensitivity List”, I believe MS “opened the door” in order for me to be alerted 24 hours in advance of every pesticide/fungicide application on the golf course(s).

The above has always been a contention of mine. That is, if I wasn’t on the “Sensitivity List” the public would never have been notified of this reprehensible, and I allege, cover-up, quid-pro-quo, criminal act, which I again allege, a serious crime by the state, manufactures, installers of pesticides, golfing communities such as MS, managers and anyone working in a managerial capacity, etc. I consider the use of of pesticides without proper notice borders on the likes of Adolf Hitler’s mass holocaust executions of innocent people along with Saadam Hussein gassing of the Kurds. Hitler used a company for the chemicals by the name IG Farban who committed horrendous war crimes. This company eventually broke up into various companies, namely Bayer, Basf (read break-up and liquidation below). Because of pesticides our lives have been shortened and certainly our health has become a burden.

“They new or should have known” is a legal phrase. The above named have violated the Constitutional rights of the American people. My site describes what I allege in detail the nature of the crimes. The health and safety of the public is not being served! Let the “Court of Public Opinion” determine the fate of pesticides and if they still want to die a slow death through ignorance and denial. I don’t doubt some may want to “Kill the Messenger”, but even those individuals are immersed in the killing fields and their day may come! Sad!

I suggest those who have taken the time to review my site, please take stock in what I am saying. My site, which I update daily, or as often as possible, when new information becomes available is very popular with John Q Public on a national and international scale.

I speak to residents of MS and others daily about the pesticide problem and the dangers involved with DRIFT coming off the golf courses and surrounding areas bombarding their homes, harming them, their children, granchildren, and pets. I belong to environmental organizations nationally. Some are posted on my site.

The below may be interesting to the Real Estate arm of MS. I’m aware 90 plus homes are up for sale in MS. I send my site to Real Estate firms as well as golfing fund raising events, not to preclude other golfing communities, especially the lung organizations who are raising funds via golfing events for breast cancer and other respiratory problems . Possibly, some of those who are selling their homes and leaving Florida have taken heed to what they saw on my site, or heard about the pesticide problem from others who are spreading the word.

I will close now with a comment. I am not a Carrie Nation, Cindy Sheehan (who lost her son in Iraq), or Don Quixote fighting windmills. I am a crusader, activist for a better title, for what is right. My two sites are of the educational variety only. I receive, not a cent from either one. In 1981/2 I took on the alcohol beverage industry (ABI), click http://www.voai.org/william.htm and scroll down. If your interested in the alcohol problem, and MS has its share of boozers, click http://www.voai.org. I was the first to file a classaction complaint against the ABI in New York. I filed two more including an appeal here in Florida. I’m not an attorney. Each complaint was denied, without prejudice, but I did get the answers I was looking for. I enjoy what I’m doing, actually, I consider it a hobby. I wrote the book “God’s Linchpin”, edited ,and designed the cover. If your interested you can read it. Just go to the 2nd page of my site and click away.

The below is relevant to MS real estate office and the real estate business’ intoto. This e-mail is being sent to Martin, St. Lucie, Jupiter-Tequesta, Hobe Sound Association of Realtors

“All information relating to the negotiations, property and parties involved in a real estate transaction should be disclosed to the principal, unless it is inconsequential. Written disclosure is best because it provides documentary evidence of disclosure. Brokers should create and retain records of significant verbal disclosures. Complete files of transactions should be kept for at least four years after a transaction has been closed.Wilson (rwilson@wcglaw.net) is a board certified commercial real estate attorney with Wilson, Cribbs & Goren of Houston.

Not disclosing problems with your property to your Realtor®.
The false hope that imperfections in your home won’t be detected is a terrible assumption. Home inspections will discover problems relating to health, safety, and even environmental concerns and is part of most sales contracts. The most recent trend is that many contracts to purchase ask for a seller’s disclosure statement even though this is not currently required by Florida law. In many cases, these issues have been or can be factored into the home’s listing price.” Hopefully some empathetic and ethical legislator will submit a bill making it law to notify what is in red above.

Here are some : LEGAL TERMS Do any fit? I believe they do. Possibly Probable Cause . See below.

There are various types or degrees of manslaughter recognized by federal and state statutes. Essential distinction between crimes of manslaughter, second degree, and criminally negligent homicide is mental state of defendant at time crime was committed; in former, actor perceives risk but consciously disregards it, while in the latter, he negligently fails to perceive risk.

If a person was aware of risk but caused death of another person in disregard of it, he would be guilty of manslaughter in the second degree, not criminally negligent homicide.

Manslaughter in the first degree is “voluntary manslaughter” while criminally negligent homicide is “involuntary manslaughter.” In re Wells’ Will, 1973, 76 Misc.2d458, 350 N.Y.S.2d 114. (Penal Law; Art. 125; page 504; N.Y.S.)

Manslaughter is as follows:

Manslaughter is the unjustifiable, inexcusable and intentional killing of a human being without delibertation, premeditation, and malice. State v. Bannister, MO.App., 512 S.W. 2d 843, 845. The unlawful killing of a human without any delibertation, which may be involuntary, in the commission of a lawful act without due caution and circumspection. Wallace v. U.S., 162 U.S. 466, 16 S. Ct. 859, 40 L. Ed. 1039. (Blacks Law Dictionary, 6th Addition, page 964)

Involuntary Manslaughter is as follows:

Involuntary manslaughter is the unintentional killing of a human being that results from a failing to perform a legal duty under circumstances amounting to criminal negligence.

Involuntary Manslaughter: Such exists where a person is committing an unlawful act not felonious or tending to great bodily harm, or in committing a lawful act without proper caution or requisite skill, unguardedly or undersignedly kills another. Model Penal Code, 210.3(1)(a); 18 U.S.C.A. 1112. (Blacks Law Dictionary, 6th Addition, page 964)

Criminal negligence is conduct that shows a reckless disregard for human life or safety and a willful indifference to the injury that is likely to follow. Add conspiracy to coverup the crime by two or more individuals and federal civil rights charges can be applied. For the federal law to apply, there must be proof that two or more people were conspiring to deprive an individual of civil rights. To go a step further, if death results, conviction can result in a term of up to life imprisonment and tens of thousands of dollars in fines. Probable cause is all that is needed for a Grand Jury to bring formal charges (indictment) against the accused.

Probable Cause is as follows:

Reasonable ground for suspicion, supported by circumstances strong enough to warrant a cautious man’s belief that the law has been, or is being, violated.

The above are but a few defininitions of the possibilities that may or may not apply to the reader’s particular situation. I urge and suggest strongly that the reader retains an attorney for further advice. This writer personally believes, not only has a criminal act been committed, but constitutional rights have been violated.

FEDERAL LAW:

Under federal law it is illegal to give anything of value to a public official “for or because of any official act performed or to be performed” by the official. Government ethics regulations say officials may not accept a gift valued at more than $20. In contrast, the gratuity statute ( a criminal law) has no minimum. Any gift of value given to influence official acts violates the law.

Such laws are important because to accept such a gift would place the official in conflict of interest or at least raise the appearance of a conflict of interest.

Federal officials are required by law and ethics regulations to maintain undivided loyalty to the nation rather than lobbyists and other special interests seeking to curry favor or gain special access. (By Warren Richey, staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor, Tuesday, March 2, 1999)

Why is this e-mail so lengthy? I’m circulating it to all concerned outside the gates of MS, Treasure Coast golfing communities, and ultimately generate a compelling and factual cover-up story to the media with the information I uncovered shown on my site. This will be accomplished with the aid of the legions of organizations throughout the country specifically my Long Island compatriots and my good friend who is an expert in the field of crop protection products. His company was a major manufacturer of pesticides. The company was sold to DOW CHEMICAL after he retired as the Regional Sales Manager for four states (AL; FL; GA; SC).
