Demons mock childhood abuse prior to committing acts of violence

To warn of impending violence against me for not obeying their commands, the Voices Demon say, "Do you want a whipping with the belt?"

This facetious question eludes to past childhood abuse, of which they have intimate knowledge, having been involved in my life as early as age 5.

More on this later...

Jawa-like demons with glowing red eyes needle shoulder, trap muscles

For the past two days and nights, demonic entities that look like Jawas from Star Wars, except with glowing red eyes instead of yellow ones, have been sticking what feels like acupuncture needles in my shoulder muscles and traps as I laid in bed.

This is neither the first time they have done this, nor have the past couple of months since they arrived the first time I've encountered them. When they introduced themselves this time, I immediately recognized them from another period of high demonic activity in my life, specifically, ages 5 through 8.

They did this at the bequest of the Voices Demons, who, all weekend long, "punished" me around the clock--even as I tried to sleep at night--for doing what I wanted (and needed) to do, and for not doing "absolutely nothing but listening to them talk non-stop." And, according to the Voices Demons, that's because the needles take away, in their vernacular, "money," or, in ours, muscle mass. They claim to have done this to several areas of my body, especially in certain parts of my legs. They then stated that their next target area is my buttocks. I believe them, as I remember Karen Walker, then a human collaborator, making a cryptic and suspiciously toned remark about my "ass falling off." Based on what she said exactly, how she said it, and how well it matched the tone and inference the Voices Demons often employ in the elusions to future malfeasance, I kind of knew then that something was going to happen to my ass, and that something involved flatness. This all is, after all, a planned "program" that many, many people in the Bay Areas—and not just demons—are aware of, acquiesce to, condone and participate in.

Unlike the whirl of densely packed chroma that characterizes a demon or demonic entity that is cloaked (or semi-transparent), these demons fade out to complete transparency in a blur of motion (see Demon Springs from Floor).

But, they hardly need invisibility because they move even faster than the demon in Demonic Peep-Eye. In the still frame below, one of these demons is caught making a beeline from my front door to my bed in my studio apartment:

This demon's image is over saturated (the black and blue colors are too vibrant to appear natural), which is probably due to some sort of radiation, which either emanates from the demon itself or by its recent use of a hyperdimensional portal (or doorway, per the Voices Demons), and which affects the camera in such a way that is known to cause imaging anomalies

Although I had frequently seen blurry figures shooting through my apartment, I never knew what they were until I discovered a still frame in a video that fully showed one of these creatures. Now exposed by this uncanny happenstance, they wait until I catch a glimpse of them before darting towards me while in bed, disappearing (and shrinking) before they reach it.

Shrinking is not uncommon among demonic entities, and these particular ones can change from three to four feet tall (as shown above), to three or four inches, as shown in Hobgoblin Grabs My Pillow. Mostly, however, I have only observed demons shrunken as they come out of a wormhole that has opened in one of my walls, which happens to be the same wall as the one in Demon Springs from Floor.

Added on 07/18/2012: if you see a white flash when in the company of one of these demons, and it is followed by extreme disorientation, temporary, but persistent short-term memory loss, and is also accompanied by what may seem like balance disorder, you have been hit with some sort of weapon that they apparently use on people they don't like (I guess; but, in what form, whether technological or biological or a combination, I don't know) that causes this.

I'm not sure if a temporary bout of balance disorder is possible; it's probably the actual bending, tilting, and twisting of objects in the room. I have several videos of this phenomenon, which I will post shortly.

Three name-calling demons 'flamed' last night

Last night, as I opened my small front window last night to get some fresh air, I was confronted by three smiling demons, phased-out, but more translucent than most, that apparently had been standing there staring at the window, patiently, expectantly—with the smiles already on their faces—as if they knew exactly when I was going to open it, and were still happy because they hadn't been waiting all that long.

So, after recovering from a brief, stunned pause, I put on my warm-greeting face, and then cheerfully said to each of the 7' tall surprise guests, "Hello!"

NOTE | I greet all demons in this way, even the ones that have attacked or otherwise offended me; especially them, in fact, because it is the new ones that catch me off-guard at first. All of them look very different from one another; so, for each successive demon, you have to take a moment to get past the intimidating and fear-inducing aspects of their face—symmetrical horn-like protrusions (if any), ridged eye-sockets, chins, teeth and foreheads—before ascertaining their intentions by the more familiar, human-like parts—the eyes.

And, the very first thing that one of them said (or, rather, mouthed) in reply was simply, "Fag." It was the middle one that said it, I believe, his grin never losing any of its original luster insodoing. At that, I politely asked to be excused for a moment as I shut the window; then, I briskly walked to the bathroom, while I confirmed with the Voices Demons that it said what I thought it said (as the loudest a demon has ever communicated with me is in a whisper, whereas, most of them mouth their words). A few seconds later, I flew out of the bathroom, lighter and can of hairspray in-hand. Then, with the lighter going in one hand, and with my finger at-the-ready on the can of hairspray in the other, I threw open the window and sprayed a jet flame of fire right at them. Then, almost as soon as I opened the window, I shut it.

Even though they had been advised prior to arriving at my apartment to cloak at whatever level is best for weathering a fire attack (as I was later told), they were still very miffed by the attempt. Perhaps they, too, feel as the Voices Demons do.

This, according to the Voices Demons, was the reason for today's attack by this demon that I had never met before, and that has, at some point in the past, either clenched shut my windpipe while I was unconscious, or that intends to someday do so, as more fully explained in Cloaked Demon Claims Trachea Squeezed Shut.

Cloaked demon claims trachea squeezed shut

Today, a demon, in a whirlwind of chroma that characterizes demons when cloaked, rose about 5 feet from the floor, its head an unfamiliar variation of an all too familiar dragon-like mug, either bragged about something it did egregious to me while I was rendered unconscious in the past, or something it is so sure it is going to do in the future that it is already claiming responsibility for it in the present—specifically, that he "masturbated my trachea into a cone while I slept." The Voices Demons translated this as meaning that he squeezed (or will squeeze) my windpipe closed. Maybe that's why I have extreme difficulty breathing sometimes these days (whereas, before, that was never a problem).

VIDEO | To comprehend the same credibility of the demon's claim, see what at least two demons did with my unconscious form in Assault by Demonic Intruders, shot by the demons themselves using my cellphone camera, which is available on my Vimeo page.

The new demon said this today, with his fist clenched in front of my face, after floating over to me as I sat at my dining table trying in vain to connect my laptop to the Internet, which the demons claim to have shut me out of for the time being (indeed, last night, they shut my heater on and off seconds after announcing their intention to do so as a demonstration; and, in the past, they demonstrated once that they can accelerate my Internet access three-fold on both my laptop and cellphone at will. Therefore, it's not inconceivable that they can control the Internet connection itself, as well).

The faux pax that cultivated this particular demon's ire, also explained by the Voices Demons, was "fighting back against the demons standing outside the (not your) front window last night." The rationale, they stated, is that, "as a pedophile, [I am] not allowed to fight back against anything they do to me." I think he said that just to make me mad; I think I'll vanquish him someday.

NOTE | I don't accept that rationale, even if I were a pedophile. Even pedophiles, I assume, take a day off, whereas these demons murder, torture, maim and otherwise assault to the most egregious degree imaginable without ever stopping, even to sleep. And, besides, these are crimes, too, just like sexual assault. Moreover, like pedophiles, they perpetrate these acts on children, just as others of their kind did to me at ages 5 through 8, some of whom the current band of demonic entities have reintroduced to me (as a shocking, "scary maneuver against [my] psyche"), and have accordingly indicated their kinship with them. 

I've decided that, when it comes to punishment for crimes, I'm only about that which is prescribed by law—ours and God's; that means the lawfully prescribed punishment for the actual commission of a crime, and not one's propensity—or suspected propensity—for committing a crime, especially in the absence of actually having committed one. I don't want any occasion to dedicate my existence to gore around the clock. There are things I'm deadset against; but, I refuse to allow it make me into an Adolph Hitler-like monster.

Actually having had the occasion to give this considerable thought in the nearly six years I have been subjected to 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week, 365 days-a-year of constant talking at me (even at night when I get out of bed to use the bathroom), consisting mostly of threats and the aforestated accusation, I could never be about balancing two evils and then permitting the one who perpetrated lesser to engage in heinous and carnal acts against the greater on a literal non-stop basis until the greater died from it. That, by the way, is actually the Voices Demons stated intention with respect to me, and they have done nothing to show that they will do any less than just said. On this topic, I am okay with anyone being fanatically passionate about protecting children from sex predators; but, I think spending all your time keeping an eye on your kids is far preferable than not, and yet even more preferable to committing around-the-clock crimes against humanity for years at a time.

But, in spite of their almost constant protestation to the contrary that the reason they proffer is not the actual reason (sometimes, they do admit it), I don't think demons need or want a reason as much as they need and want us to have one. This, I think, is then used by us to justify our acquiescence or participation in acts of evil, and to otherwise appease our conscious.

But, the reason proffered by this particular demon contained neither the word "fag" nor "pedophile," but, rather, according to the Voices Demons, stemmed from last night's flaming of three name-calling demons perched outside my front window, which is described in detail in Three name-calling demons 'flamed' last night. Apparently, it is an associate of those demons.

After he declared that my trachea had been shut, and after I determined he had nothing more to say, I returned to my work; but, not even a few seconds later, a felt a burning and tingling sensation that felt like it was located inside my skull, just under the bone. That scared me, so I grabbed the lighter and hairspray immediately and went to work on three of four of them.

That happened not 30 minutes after I had already done the same to a demon who perches on top of my cubby for having gone after my left eye in the same way (see Left eye focus of demonic assault); and, it was not an hour or so after hobgoblins, the arbitrary name I have given to demons that look like Jawas from Star Wars (see Jawa-like demons with glowing red eyes needle shoulder, trap muscles).

UPDATE | The Voices Demons, as I wrote this blog, finally clarified that this demon had already squeezed my trachea shut after rendering me unconscious, and that there are several demons that do it on occassion because they like to watch me fight for my life in that state. A gastroenterologist once told me after performing an endoscopy that I should inform the next doctor who performs the same procedure to administer double anesthesia; apparently, I fought back as he attempted to guide the scope down my esophagus. So, I guess it's possible.

Video/Photo Editing Tip: Apply cross-hatch filter to images of demons and specters for contrast, depth

If you captured a hard-to-see, semi-transparent specter or demon on a low-quality camera, you can make it stand out more by applying a cross-hatch filter to the video or photograph using software such as Final Cut Pro or Photoshop.

The effectiveness of the cross-hatch filter, when applied to a specter, is illustrated in the newer version of Spectre of Demon Illuminated by Light; compare it to the original to see just how much it helps.

New audio editing technique reveals further dialog in "Noise Harassment"

Thanks to a new audio editing technique that eliminates noise and narrows the audible frequency range without noticeable loss in volume, I was able to discern a little more dialogue from the "Noise Harassment" video. Both the technique and the video will be posted soon. The additional discernible dialog is:

"Are you ready for the judgment of the Tuzzo people? 'Cuz if you're not, that's too bad, because we don't like fags, and we don't like you. So, there! What a fucking fag! Stick a knife to your throat, and I'll cut it for you."

I also tried this technique on another audio file, twice, in different ways, in which the demons can be heard conversing. What you can't hear in one file, you can hear in another. So listen to both of these:

1. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?tb883bprjuec9l8
2. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2yee451de39an51

NOTE | Without headphones, you won't hear much of anything but static and noise; preferably, you should use earbuds because you can push them in your ears deep enough to block outside noise, sort of creating a speaker/ear plug combo. A completely quiet room is also key.


Most of the voices you hear are going to sound strange. They include:

• A Daffy Duck-like voice, that does most of the speaking. He sometimes talks to fast, and, although you can tell he's saying something, you won't be able to tell what without slowing down the speed on your media player.
• A couple of voices, that are really deep and loud.
• Regular human voices, which are not strange, but say some very strange things.

Sometimes, if you're new to them, the voices demons are hard to follow, because parts of their words are clipped, due to filtering that doesn't work well with the sing-song way they talks. Almost all of them almost "sing" their sentences, going up and down the scale with each word. I don't know why they do that, but it is probably to get you to listen to them without thinking about anything else; and, I think it is also a way they distinguish themselves from other demonic entities—not necessarily so you can tell them apart classification-wise, but I think that it's a way of putting on airs, or separating yourself by class or rank.

If the humans sound like they're not listening to the voices demons, it's probably because they aren't; but, I don't think they're trying to be rude. I think it's dangerous to listen to them; they can't help what they are and, therefore, what they do (their speech is like the Sirens, but for your brain, instead of your ship). It seems that all the humans I've recorded with voices demons in the mix, the humans invariably talk over them, switch topics on them, and mostly act as if they're not there. If, and when, a human hears a piece of information they find compelling, they may comment once. Rarely, are the voices demons ever asked questions, though.

Voices Demons recording partially processed - listen now

An audio file with the Voices Demons conversing at night, while I was in bed. You can only make out a few lines here and there, as it was made using my cheap cellphone, and processed by an amateur (me).

Still, it's a big improvement; it started as only static.

Demons can (and do) move walls to injure

As I make my bed, the Voices Demons move an entire wall, just to hit my hand with it as I place my bedspread at the edge of the bed:

NOTE | As I posted this, a Voices Demon stated that, although they initially took responsibility, that it was another demon who did it; apparently, they don't want to "look bad." Ignoring the obviousness of the delusion that they could ever "look good," I simply replied that I would mention what they said here, as I think that, if I was trying to make them look bad, I have achieved that either way, regardless of their responsibility for the assault, given their prior knowledge, failure to warn, and their implied acquiescence.

19 videos show demons in-the-flesh

It's almost impossible to catch beings like demons on camera. Not only are they trained to avoid detection, but cellphone cameras are not made to capture images of beings that move faster than your eye can track, spend most of their time in the dark, and can cloak and blend—not to mention bite, sting and burn.

The fact that I have anything is a miracle. The amount of post-processing filtering that must be applied to each video, just to make them somewhat viewable, is substantial, and I still haven't perfected it (I know what I need to do, but things tend to get broken, lost, altered, etc., in the process, if I take too much time with it or try to do it where no one else can see what they're doing to me, so I go with what I can get away with on-the-fly.

Nonetheless, there are 19 videos in my collection that show demons in-the-flesh (below); there are others; but, these are the better ones:

• Demonic Peep-Eye shows an eyeball of a demon, as it peeps through a hole in a cover over the camera lens.
• The Spectre of Death flys into my apartment and turns off a camera set up to catch him and others like him on video, but not before the camera catches his shrouded visage.

• The Ceiling-Crawling Demon inches across my apartment ceiling before exposing his head, which is clearly mounted on a very flexible, multi-jointed neck.
• The Hobgoblin makes multiple incursions into my apartment—and, then, into my bed
• In Little Man Around the Be(n)d shows the demonic preference for attacks while their victim is in bed—just like when I was age 5 through 8.
• A Demon Jumps onto Bed—as is the constant case.
• In Demon Swings Arm from Above, a demon does just that—right into my face, just as I bend over.
• A Demon Springs from Floor, in order to move from one hyperdimensional portal to another.
• Sucker Demons Flee Scene of Red Horde Attack, in which dozens of sucker demons flit back-and-forth and around a table lamp
• Sucker Demon Flys into Apartment, the first sucker demon caught on video, flying past me as soon as I turn my back
• Flying Sucker Demon Slinks Past Lamp
• Oliver Conceals a Sucker Demon
• Sucker Demon Brushes my Side in the Dark
• Aside from it gloved, needle-pronged fingers, it looks human; but, the two demons shown in Assault by Demonic Intruders possess strength and abilities far above any mere human, as is demonstrated by their effortless dangling of my unconscious form in mid-air. Attacked at the Law Library is similar, but not in my apartment.
• In Blanket Demon I and Blanket Demon II, you can't actually see the demon; but, you can see it move my bedspread, which leads one to believe it is more than just a spectre, as shown in Blanket Demon Blends Face with Bedspread.
• Two Demonic Entities Glide Into my Apartment was the first ever video capture of the filth that constantly pervades my life, only to annoy and frighten.
• Similarly, a glowing Flapping or Slithering Something in the Dark flew past me with a flapping noise while I was holding my camera to my side as I came back into my apartment after making videos outside.
• While setting up my video camera, a Hobgoblin Hops Along past me; several months later, perhaps the same Hobgoblin Sneaks Past Me while I review footage of demonic activity.

There isn't much happening right now that would be visible, except, perhaps, an occasional red distortion floating through air; but, you might hear the Voices Demons, since they talk around the clock, even when I'm sleeping.

Are they demons or hyperdimensional negative entities?

Before I knew better, I was calling what I now know to be demons something different, namely, hyperdimensional negative entities; web sites that describe the behavior and characteristics of these types of entities closely match the demons' that are the subject of this blog.

To learn more about the demons of this blog in advance of any new information I post in the future, search for sites on hyperdimensional negative entities on Google.

NOTE | I recommend In2Worlds.net and MonTalk.net as providing very astute and accurate observations on demonic activity, although some of their respective conclusions seem somewhat flawed (but, the higher intelligence of the demon mind can make ascertaining their methods and ways difficult when they want it to be, so loosely constructed ideas regarding their activities would be the norm when formed in the mind of a mere, simple human).

Videos, Photos and Documents links added to Demonic Activity blog toolbar

Links to videos, photos and documents related to the Demonic Activity blog are available from the toolbar on the Home page.

The Videos link goes to my Vimeo channel, Photos to my Paranormal Activity Flickr Album, and documents to my Scribd.com page, which looks simply as if it pertains to my lawsuits only—but, believe me, there is a connection here.

Demon camouflaging illustrated in Chica o Vieja

When not cloaked, but wanting to remain somewhat hidden, demonic entities camouflage with something in the environment that is either the same color as what they're wearing or the approximate shape and/or texture (or whatever).

"Chica o Vieja," below, illustrates a more complex version of camouflaging, called blending:

This is either an old woman or a young woman, depending on your focal point

Demons inhabiting the same person or object often blend in this way. Below is a picture of five demons, who all inhabit the same man:

They all share the same underlying features; but, look different when compared side-by-side

They also use objects to create their visage, and, amazingly enough, sometimes on-the-move. The picture below is a motion blur as the camera pans past a table lamp; it's a still frame from one of my videos:

A white-faced demon, with ruby-red lips, that wears sunglasses, that is otherwise a table lamp when not in motion

Demons often blend their faces with blankets, as the contour of a blanket can be manipulated to resemble facial features, as is shown in the third clip of The Hobgoblin.

In this picture, a demon blends his head with wall hangings and light and shadow:

In the first frame of one of my videos taken at my apartment, a demon is shown blending his head with the wall

UPDATE | As of April 8th, 2012, a video of the Spectre of Death camouflaging with a window blind is available on Vimeo; the video of the Spectre of Death phased out, from which the above still-frame was taken, is also available on Vimeo. You can read more about phasing out and blending (or camouflaging) on this blog.

Demons use D.A., police to protect those who commit crimes for them

Here is the royal brush-off from the District Attorney's Office (the highlighted questions are meant to help you read between the lines, so to speak):

Avilla	Uh, behind the scenes… [inaudible] …that you had been talking with, Mr. Reyes.
Bush	Right, right.
Avilla	And, there was a communication breakdown, having to do with...
Bush	Yeah, well, you know…
Avilla	And, so, I need to figure out what the situation is… [inaudible] …stolen vehicle...
Bush	And…and, stolen credit cards and money and…and other property—all-in-one...
Avilla	And taken from you?
Bush	Taken from me. And, this happened in, like, 2006. Now, the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety did not tell me that they had actually forwarded the case to the district attorney's office. So, I didn't even know it was sitting here; but, when I, um...
Avilla	But, you found subsequently that it was?
Bush	I, uh…by…incidentally. I was, like, "Wow! Finally they did something about the problem." Because, it wasn't just one incident that was an issue; it was ongoing series of incidences that began February of 2006 and extended until August of 2006. Basically, these people (not just the suspect listed in the…in the police report  that we're talking about, but, uh, their group—their gang—they had a name; I think it was called "D.F.M." or something like that)…anyway, um, they'd wiped me completely clean. I mean, they took everything over the course of those months. And, um…but, this is, as far as I know, um, the only report…
Avilla	Did you know these people, or, how did they target you?
Bush	You know, I…I think they just found [inaudible]. I think that, uh, they might have gotten my name from, um, my mortgage company.
Avilla	Oh...
Bush	Yeah, um, they…they're involved in kind of a lot of…not just small things—like little thefts and stuff like that—but also some big things, too, [as] I found out over time; but, um…
Avilla	And, how did they end up with your car?
Bush	[clears throat] How'd they what?
Avilla	End up with you car?
Bush	Well, on that night, keys…uh, the keys were stolen from my house.
Avilla	Okay.
Bush	Yeah. And, they had…they were, uh, previously admonished by police to not return to my home; but, they did on numerous occasions. The problem was just never handled. I mean, these people…even when they were caught red-handed in my car twice, they were never arrested.
Avilla	Oh.
Bush	And… Yeah, it was really weird. It was only incidentally that in this particular case that I was able to call the suspect while the police were in the room with me, and he actually admitted to me—thinking it was just a conversation between the two of us—what had happened, who was involved, and why [and] all this other stuff. And, so…
Avilla	You had some type of relationship with them? Was there business or anything that you could make that call [inaudible]...
Bush	I…well, you know, I knew people who knew them.
Avilla	Okay.
Bush	And, so, you know, I had to really work that angle and…and try to get, like, phone numbers and establish communications because I…I just wasn't getting help from police. They were not being arrested. They were just being admonished constantly.
Avilla	And, so, Sunnyvale wrote a full report…
Bush	This time, they did. At first, they wrote it off as, uh…as, uh…they I had given the keys to the person. That was, uh, the original report statement by, um, I guess it's, like, Officer Falco, or something like that. Officer...
Avilla	Do you have the Sunnyvale PD case number?
Bush	Uh, not on me.
Avilla	[stutters] I can probably find it under your name. It's James, correct?
Bush	That's correct. James Bush. Officer Glasgow, however, who did a…
Avilla	It would have been February of 2006?
Bush	Well, no, that's when everything started; but, the actual…this particular incident we're speaking of now happened in, uh, I was thinking the end of June of 2006, I think…
Avilla	Of 2006?
Bush	Yeah.
Avilla	After they [inaudible].
Bush	I believe so. And, it wouldn't be the initial report where I called in the incident on the day it happened; it would be the, um… it would be the one conducted subsequently by Stuart Glasgow. [inaudible] I think that's what held it up initially, is that the original officer who took the report just…he…he…he said nothing had happened, and then, uh, the officer who did the investigation who found my vehicle said something completely different. Um, this is what I had been given. I'll have to turn this up for you so you can hear it.
Voicemail	Monday, June 12th, at 8…
Bush	June 12th.
Voicemail	:02 P.M.. James, this is Officer Glasgow from Sunnyvale Police. I was just at your place. Um, in order to get your car, uh, listed as stolen, you need to call up at the desk officer again  and, uh, report it. I just spoke to him; I told him this sounds like a good…good, uh, auto theft. Um, if you can give me…us a call at…
Bush	Alright, you get the idea.
Avilla	Did you [inaudible] fill out the report, and sign, and…
Bush	Everything. Everything. And, unbeknownst to me, they did not, uh…or, they forwarded it to the district attorney's office.
Avilla	[inaudible]
Bush	Sure.
Avilla	[inaudible] [answers phone] Mm-hm. Okay. Okay. Perfect, thank you very much. Bye. [hangs up phone] I'm so sorry, sir.
Bush	No problem.
Avilla	If I didn't answer that, they'd keep calling me back.
Bush	Not a problem. So, anyway…
Avilla	So, a police report was filed, and everything happened…
Bush	Right. And, then, it sat here and nothing happened.
Avilla	The keys were not in the car, I take it? Something happened…
Bush	Right.
Avilla	But, then, your, uh, concern is that it has not gone to prosecution, that something has happened along the way, which is…
Bush	Yeah, so, you know, it just sat here, and the problem is…is, you know, because I recorded them doing things, and because I filed police reports and put them, as they say, in…at risk of exposure to criminal prosecution, I still have not slept a decent night since. I mean, I have—to this day—been, you know, harassed, vandalized, assaulted, what-not…
Avilla	You think by these same people that…
Bush	Absolutely by these same people, and the people that…that work with them within their group. I don't know, I feel like…is it a Norteño offshoot?
Avilla	On that issue, I would make sure that you're still filing police reports...
Bush	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Avilla	…separate and aside from what's going on today; and, try to figure out, if there [are] still things going on…
Bush	Yeah…
Avilla	…and you're being threatened, harassed [inaudible], you need to make sure that you're filing reports. [inaudible] you do that, your safety is, of course, number one.
Bush	Right, right, right...
Avilla	[inaudible]
Bush	So, I think what Mr. Reyes did correctly was he did ascertain that, um, this was a prosecutable claim, uh, because I think there was some question, at first, because of the two officers' disagreement, initially, in the report. But, um, once I provided him with what I had, um, which wasn't just that recording; it was also the one where these, uh…there's two suspects, but only one's listed. But, um [inaudible] Josh is one of the persons involved, and he admits it right here.
Avilla	And, how is [inaudible] this recording?
Bush	Um… [plays recording] They wanted to, fucking, take your car, take your money, take, fucking, your pride and joy. [recording stops] So, this is him talking about what they were up to; and, that leads me to why this is prosecutable. Moises said that, "Even if it is a prosecutable claim, uh, you're outside of the 1 to 3 year statute of limitations on this. So, we can't prosecute it beyond that."
Avilla	Which, in general terms, is…
Bush	Correct.
Avilla	…that is correct.
Bush	Right. Now, there is a six-year statute of limitations that applies to any offense that may, um…that may incur up to 8 years in prison or more. And, um, I think we fall under that because, not only do we have multiple crimes committed—it's not just the auto theft; they're trying to focus only on the auto theft, but it was also the credit card access…
Avilla	And, is that all included in that legal...
Bush	It is all there. It is all there. And, um, we have all of that, I think,  that accrues over 8 years, if you wanted to put them, you know, uh, consecutively versus concurrently; but, I said, "Because it was committed as a gang crime, [a] gang-related crime, all of those crimes fall under the 'dirty thirty' as a penal… I don't know if you're familiar with Penal Code § 186.22? Okay, good. I said that, "That enhancement is up to 10 years." Right? So, I think that, uh, I have more recordings that [inaudible] where they're talking about their gang and their affiliation and what their group does, and da-da-da-da-da… I said, "There's plenty there for you to make the assumption that it happened." I think we fall under that 6-year statute-of-limitations clause. So, um, that's…
Avilla	That one's not as easy to interpret as just…depending on how much time [inaudible]. So...
Bush	Right, right.
Avilla	[inaudible]
Bush	Right.
Avilla	…and, some of those have to do with current, ongoing, um, uh, criminal activities [inaudible] to speak to you...
Bush	Right.
Avilla	…but it also has to do with the dates that, um, activity is discovered, because that…
Bush	Right.
Avilla	[inaudible] statutes. There's all kinds of different pieces to it, and I'm truly not the legal, uh,  mind of the operation here. I'm on the investigative side; so…
Bush	Great.
Avilla	…what my job is, and my crew, including, um, Reyes…
Bush	Mm-hm…
Avilla	…is to take the initial reports that are brought in by the agencies and all the police departments…
Bush	Mm-hm…
Avilla	…uh, and then they go up to our attorneys. Our attorneys look at those and decide whether or not the elements are there. You know this process…
Bush	Yeah, well, Moises explained all of this to me very well, and I accept it and it's fine. I…I…I…you know, but, basically, I wanted him to go back. I wanted him to bring the issue back up with the gang enhancement possibility because, you know, I can't argue with the law. It's…obviously, he's correct in everything he said. The only that I found, uh—I don't want to use the word "unacceptable"—but, I just disagreed with his unwillingness to go, you know, bring it back up again with the, you know, evidence I provided him of, you know, gang activity/involvement.
Avilla	Well, I can tell you that that has happened.
Bush	Oh, it did?
Avilla	We sent it up to…
Bush	I did not even know that.
Avilla	…um...
Bush	Okay.
Avilla	…the supervising attorney of the, uh, Gang Unit…
Bush	Okay.
Avilla	…um, who is then going to be pulling this, uh, old case…
Bush	Alright.
Avilla	uh, in which…I don't know if it's even in-house yet or not [inaudible] filed on it because we would have to go back to Sunnvyale and tell them to send the stuff back over…
Bush	Okay.
Avilla	…this, uh, and I didn't see any of the recordings or any of that stuff; but, I saw that there were emails and messages going back and forth from, um, Moe up to, uh, Lance Dougherty—who is the supervisor.
Bush	Oh, wow!
Avilla	James.
Bush	Okay.
Avilla	Um…
Bush	Oh, really?
Avilla	…but, I don't that, uh, any decisions have been made yet…
Bush	Okay.
Avilla	…only because [inaudible] we don't even have the signals in on, uh, the original submission from Sunnyvale. Often what happens is the agency will send something in and the attorney will decide either that we need additional evidence or we need a, uh, a more thorough report or we need something else to go with that one.
Bush	Okay, okay.
Avilla	So, then we'll send it back.
Bush	Okay. Alright. Well, I have probably, uh, over a hundred hours of recordings—not all of them all on this issue—but, I…I don't want them making the determination without actually consulting with me first and saying, "Here's some difficulties [stutters] we're having with…with pushing…pushing this through, uh, as you wanted, and do you have," or, "What we would need, or what we're lacking…" You know what I'm saying? Because I have spent so much time with this issue [that] I can't imagine not having anything that they need to go forward. If [inaudible] comes and says, "You know what? The…the officer didn't collect enough evidence along these lines," [or], " You didn't make that claim back then," or, "He didn't write it down," [or], "Even if he did, we can only go by…," you know? I have them in their own words saying, "We are a gang." Either… Or…
Avilla	How 'bout if I do this for you?
Bush	Sure.
Avilla	Let me, um, go find the original complaint that you made…
Bush	Okay.
Avilla	…and see if that's here or if I need to go back to Sunnyvale…
Bush	Okay.
Avilla	…and have them send over whatever it is…
Bush	Okay.
Avilla	…because I don't if we truly have it…
Bush	Okay
Avilla	…and, um, Mr. Reyes, has already been doing some of that because he's been giving me copies of the e-mails [inaudible] telling me what you're dealing with here—where are we at—so that I have, uh, a bit of information to try to…
Bush	Okay.
Avilla	…help both of us understand.
Bush	Alright, alright.
Avilla	Um, I know that the e-mails went back and forth to, uh, Mr. Dougherty. I don't know if, in fact, any decisions—I'm quite confident no decisions have been made yet; otherwise, I would have gotten the indication that [inaudible]…
Bush	Alright.
Avilla	…um, I need to find a report, so, um, I will go find what Moe has done—Mr. Reyes—and see if he has the report number, and if it has come in; if not, I will get it brought in here so that it can be properly reviewed. If, in fact, there are additional questions concerning this issue, I will…
Bush	Please!
Avilla	…be sure that Mr. Dougherty knows, and I can try to set up either, um…
Bush	[sighs] I've done all the leg work that you would need to have done; so, please, you know… I would not be happy if they said, "Well, we can't help you." I mean, knowing what I know and knowing what I have that could have made it work—you know what I'm saying—but, it wasn't asked for. That would be...
Avilla	You have to understand that even if it reviewed and somethings comes up and they say that they cannot do it…
Bush	Yeah…
Avilla	…sometimes there are things that… All of us think that it is truly a good case—that it's a prosecutable case…
Bush	Yeah, yeah, yeah… But, they won't do it. Right?
Avilla	…but, there's no way that…
Bush	That's fine.
Avilla	…you're going to be able to…
Bush	That's fine. That's fine.
Avilla	[inaudible] …understand that…
Bush	Right, right, right.
Avilla	…or to be able to…to work through some of those issues…
Bush	That's fine.
Avilla	…and, our office will only find that there's [inaudible] that truly can be used—there's criminal activity there—and…
Bush	Sure.
Avilla	[inaudible] lots of [inaudible] cases.
Bush	Great.
Avilla	That doesn't mean that that's what's going to happen with this because I can't tell you that. I haven't…
Bush	Alright.
Avilla	…looked at it.
Bush	Sure. Alright.
Avilla	I don't know enough about what is going on.
Bush	Alright, sounds good. Um, so… Yeah, that's fine, I guess. Uh, and, just to let you know again, the, you know, just besides [inaudible] and what-not, it's also a matter of an ongoing situation where I am, you know, continually…[sighs] Just last week, they blew up my toilet. There was shit and water everywhere.
Avilla	That's what I'm saying. Those things, you need to be reporting…
Bush	Yeah. I…yeah, yeah, yeah.
Avilla	Seriously, every day that something is going on like that, you need to be sure to properly report it.
Bush	Yeah.
Avilla	I mean, your safety is number one. Um…
Bush	It's just the pattern of harassment more than, like, safety. I mean, I haven't been injured since 2008; but, you know, it's just constant… It's just constant, uh, you know, crap, really. And, it's just…I…I feel like I'm toothless in the problem. You know, I feel like, um, not only with the injury, but I had no recourse. I had no one on my side; no one doing their part that would be, you know, that would be available to anyone else, you know? Any resources that would be available to anyone else seem kind of like, uh, unreachable to me at this point. And, like I said, this is been going on for almost five years, and I don't see any end in sight. And, um, I just wanted the tide to turn in my favor just this once, you know what I'm saying? So, it's kind of like I'm…I'm really pushing to make this happen finally. I mean, I would have been more on it before, but it was…they left me, you know, completely destitute. And, there…those…my survival needs were the primary goal for me at that time, and, now, you know, now that I've got a little bit of breathing room, maybe I can start, uh, taking care of this problem. You know, that's what I'm looking for.
Avilla	Well, let me leave this with you, then [hands Bush a business card].
Bush	Okay, great.
Avilla	What I will do is, I will get the report, make sure that it is in here, and that it is properly reviewed…
Bush	Got it.
Avilla	…and will make sure that anything that you have forwarded to Mr. Reyes has, uh, gone to Mr. Dougherty, which I believe that it has, um, so that [inaudible].
Bush	Sure. Make sure, if you will, please, to look for this specific thing, because I never got confirmation from, um, Moses, as to whether or not he received this or whether or not it was useful; but, if you see…if you don't see something like this, then you will need to contact me [plays media file for Avilla]. (Media file: [voice of Jonathan Harrington] We were told that's, like…that's three different affiliations—three different races—that have come to, uh, to not protect you, but to exploit you. [voice of Jonathan Harrington again] They're actively making it so you cannot sell your home, and [are] driving you into the ground even…even further. [voice of "J.R."] Maybe, yeah, I ignored some shit; but, like, I did not want to know, I did not need to know, and I did not ask to know. [voice of Paul Casey] I'm gonna fuck you…I'm gonna fuck…where the fuck are you, man? Tell me where the fuck you are! [voice of James Bush] Did they take out a policy on me somewhere? [voice of Josh Koppenhaver/Williams] Mm-hm. [voice of Jonathan Harrington] You know, sorry: we prolong... [Bush stops recording]
Avilla	Okay, what is this about? [inaudible]
Bush	Okay, so…
Avilla	Is this something you put together?
Bush	These are excerpts…yeah…excerpts that kinda say, "Here's the issue—in sum—that occurred," and, why it's not just a stolen car-stolen credit card thing.
Avilla	And, why do you think that they target you? Do you have any...
Bush	Well, I had things to take. Once my things were taken, there were no further issues.
Avilla	But, they are still bothering you…
Bush	I believe that that [is] because of the lawsuits I filed, and the web site, and that I recorded them without them knowing, and stuff like that. So, it's more of a retaliation issue now than it is [inaudible] That's what it was all about. So, you get the idea. If you don't see that [media file]…
Avilla	Let me get your phone number again so that if I don't see it, I'll call you…
Bush	Alright, alright.
Avilla	…[inaudible] and you can get that over to me.
Bush	Sure. 4-0-8…
Avilla	Mm-hm…
Bush	…uh, 7-9-1-4-8-6-6.
Avilla	And, that's June 12th that the report that was for the Sunnyvale…yes…
Bush	That was the date that he (Officer Glasgow) called to say it was a good auto theft report. And, that's not the original reporting date.
Avilla	[inaudible] …any additional suspects in there?
Bush	Josh Williams, uh, Koppen…slash Koppenhaver—he might have two names.
Avilla	C-O-P-E-N…
Bush	Uh, K-O…
Avilla	Oh…
Bush	P-P-E-N, uh, H-A-V-E-R. And, then, the…the second suspect, uh…there was another recording where, uh, a friend of theirs had witnessed them both in my stolen car at the time it was stolen, and he's saying, "I didn't know that it was stolen at the time, but, yeah, those two were in it." And, I knew they were. Um, one of the…his name was Jon Harrington…that… I don't know if he's listed in the report or not, but he might be. But, uh…
Avilla	[inaudible]
Bush	He was calling me the whole time saying, you know, "Well, if you destroy those recordings you have, " da-da-da-da-da-da, "I'll get your car back"—basically—and, all this other kinds of stuff. "I'll find where Josh is," da-da-da… And, the whole time he's calling me from my car, so…
Avilla	And, did you ever get the car back? Or, did they…
Bush	I got it back; but, uh, completely ransacked. I…they had slashed every seat in the car. They had dented…put dents in every quarter panel. And, they had [driven] it either into a pothole or over a speed bump so hard that it broke, like, a frame. I had to have the car…the car was actually in the shop almost a month after that. Um, they had to replace every exterior panel, um, [and] the entire interior. They took everything apart, and it cost me…
Avilla	And, you kept all of the receipts and…
Bush	I have everything. I have everything, yeah. So, yeah, it was bad; it was bad. And, um, but, yeah, there's a…a…a lieutenant or an Officer Falco report that happened probably five days before that. And, then, there's the Stuart Glasgow report, which has a supplemental to it, as well. So, there's just the…there's the initial auto theft report, and then you need to look for a second report, you know, there's two of them.
Avilla	Well, I'll just have them give me everything.
Bush	Okay.
Avilla	[inaudible]
Bush	Fine.
Avilla	[inaudible]
Bush	Fine. Alright, so I guess that's it, then.
Avilla	For now. Let me…let me pull all this stuff in and figure out exactly what this…we're dealing with…
Bush	Okay.
Avilla	[and get] the right people to look at it for you…
Bush	Okay.
Avilla	…because I don't have the legal mind, like I said, to be able to make sure that we've got all the legal hurdles and battles crossed so that we can…
Bush	Sure.
Avilla	…move forward with it.
Bush	Alright.
Avilla	[inaudible] investigative stuff that they still need done with it, or concerns, questions, on that end that would come back to either, uh, my staff or Sunnyvale has to follow it through, so, uh, that the attorneys can make a complete, uh, decision on what it is that they can or cannot do with it.
Bush	Okay. Perfect, perfect. Alright.
Avilla	I will get back to you one way or another and let you know whether that stuff is in and whether a decision has been made, if they've got questions for you, whether they need additional information or just that they, um, you know, want to get things to you, from you—whatever it is—so that we can…can make sure that we get this put to bed once and for all…
Bush	Sounds great.
Avilla	…and, squared away, alright?
Bush	I'm satisfied that things are moving on it, so that's great. Alright.
Avilla	Alright?
Bush	Alright. Thank you.
Avilla	You have my, um, phone number and my…
Bush	Thank you for this [holds up Avilla's business card].
Avilla	...contact number…
Bush	Okay.
Avilla	…and, I will get back to you… [inaudible]
Bush	Not a problem. Not a problem…
Avilla	Alright?
Bush	…at all. Alright, thank you so much.
Avilla	You're very welcome. Alright, sir. Alright?
