Threats (3)

“Delusional” Threats of Murder & Mayhem made by the 415 gang members led by “Blue & Lulu” into the brain of rAmu Aki before & during 2012

Posted by rAmu Aki on November 11, 2012 at 10:45am

An important (& increasing) aspect of my “delusional” experience with voice-to-skull technology wielding, dope slinging gangsters in the San Francisco T.L.  has been the endless death threats against me, & increasingly against anyone that I care about, or with whom I have shared information about this situation.   My intent is to create “web of awareness” so that should ANYTHING happen to any of these folks, immediate suspicion & intense investigative insight may be cast upon these criminals.

 

1st of coarse, me.  Constant threats of brutalization, death & dismemberment.

 

2nd.  My mother, 105 y/o grandmother, my adult daughter & all other living relatives from my hometown in Louisville, Ky.  One voice suggested that they burn down the house & make it look like some type of accident.

 

3rd,  My SF Friends & associates at the Faithful Fools Street Ministry at 234 Hyde Street in San-Francisco, CA.  My “delusional” voices have threatened to torch the building, which is full time residence to 8 people-of-faith who are members of the street ministry, & out of which all of the ministries programs are operated.  Specific members of the fools mentioned by my delusional voices include:

Rev. Kay Jorgenson (ret.) - Former Social Justice Minister of the First Unitarian Universalist Congregation of San Francisco, CA & co-founder of the Faithful Fools

Sister Carmen Barsody of the Franciscan Sisters of Little Falls MN & co-founder of the Faithful Fools

Alex Darr - Youth Development Minister of the First Unitarian Universalist Congregation of SFCA & member of the Faithful Fools

Ed Bowers - Poet, Author & community servant & member of the Faithful Fools

 

4th, My good friend Ariana Phillips, a homeless, drug addicted prostitute who knows the individual members of this group (& whom I have not seen for about 2 weeks at this writing, although that is not particularly unusual) & who has been directly threatened & harassed by them frequently in the past.

She recently recorded a statement with Rev. Jorgenson outlining their current criminal threats & harassment.

I do not think my boss Mike Doyle should grab me by my tie and pull it or touch me in any way. I learned at about the age of three that there should be no body contact. I am too busy with work to spend hours talking with him and prefer to deal as little as possible with him if he swears and gets angry. He grabbed me a few days ago and I let it slide but the pulling of my necktie that is tied around my neck today was very wrong. I prefer not to be alone in the same room as him and ask that you be present. There is too much to do and too little time to do it this month on the account that I have 25 schools and 4 of those are new schools that I must spend 4-6 hours in inspecting everything.

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? The Mob!
By Patrick Burkart, Travis Donoho, and Paul Odekirk
This month MIT must decide whether to renew its contract with an
unscrupulous and lawbreaking dining services provider. Aramark,
formerly ARA, is a multibillion dollar mammoth, operating various
services illegally throughout the world. Aramark currently operates at
MIT, Boston University, and numerous other college campuses across the
country; it is one of the top three food service providers in the U.S.
For years, Aramark has committed and admitted to unfair and
illegal trading practices, including violating federal anti-trust
laws. Also, Aramark has been suspected of having massive organized
crime connections in its transportation and vending-machine
divisions. The food service giant first got into trouble with the law
in 1964, when the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) negotiated a consent
order in which ARA did not acknowledge guilt, but agreed anyway to
dispose of some of its vending machine companies worth an annual $7.7
million. Again, in 1973, ARA accepted another FTC consent order, this
one requiring disposal of the vending and periodical companies that it
owned. On top of that, ARA had to pledge to stay out of certain
markets delimited by the FTC. In 1979, the FTC successfully pressed
for and won a $300,000 civil penalty against ARA after the company was
found guilty of violating the terms of the 1973 agreement. This
penalty also required ARA to dispose of some of its business
assets. ARA was also fined an additional $80,000 in 1973 for
conspiracy to fix cigarette prices in Cincinnati.
In 1977, ARA admitted to making questionable and sometimes
illegal payments between 1970 and 1976, according to a Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) report. A total of $393,000 in payments were
made to politicians and "client related" recipients who were
influential in handing over state contracts to ARA. Also, ARA admitted
receiving $504,000 in questionable and sometimes illegal rebates from
1970 to 1976. ARA made $23,400 in political campaign contributions
that the company itself reported to the SEC as illegal, and another
$11,550 in legal but improperly recorded campaign
contributions. "Disbursements and gifts" to "client related
persons" amounted to $370,000 during the same 1970-1976 period. The
SEC investigated ARA without recommending action in 1982. The next
year, Gerald F. O'Leary, a member of the Boston School Committee,
pleaded guilty to extortion of $50,000 from ARA in return for awarding
ARA a $40 million dollar contract.
A mental retardation center owned by Aramark was decertified
in Texas, and the company has paid large fines for failing to meet
nursing home standards in Texas and California. In Colorado, ARA
nursing home abuses were described by an assistant state attorney as
"the most severe disregard of patient care of any case to my
knowledge." A 1992 Colorado case brought by the state against ARA
charged the corporate giant with violating nursing home standards in
order to cut costs. Back in Texas, ARA fought accusations that daily
health reports were routinely falsified, that bedridden patients were
seldom turned over and as a result developed painful bedsores, and
that three nights of every week 90 of their patients were under the
care of an intoxicated nurse.
Aramark also has a reputation for engaging in unfair business
practices. A former Executive Vice President of ARA's transportation
division testified in a Hawaii court that ARA conspired to kill
competition by submitting below-cost bids to clinch a contract, with
the intention of raising prices once the competition had gone out of
business.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Aramark also has links
to organized crime. Reportedly, Aramark paid an ex-FBI agent-and
former ARA employee - $167,000 plus lawyers' fees out of court not to
discuss his deposition, which highlights the dining service
corporation's organized crime connections.

Subject: RE: COBRA- My Aramark Business Card
Importance: High

Well,

Your commitment was to place me after Chicago Public Schools. Here is my business card given to me by Aramark. I was told that I had all the same rights as an Aramark Employee by Richard Horner, by Matt Hinkenbein, by Mike Dobson. I was told by you that you would place us after CPS in the same manner. I was told to tell all of Chicago Public Schools that I was an Aramark Employee. I was told that all the benefits were the same, and that I would have use of the Aramark web site that would assist in placement. I was denied employment benefits by Renault Robinson, and I am denied health coverage under Cobra that is guaranteed under Illinois State Law.


I was told after the first year I would be made an Aramark Employee, so I worked as hard as I could for that. Then I was told that I could not become an Aramark Employee, but I would have all the benefits of an Aramark Employee. Then after the Death of my father I returned to work and was working late to catch up after my dad’s funeral, and Mike Doyle grabbed my tie and told me that he was boss and that Stuart Anderson was no good and that he was great.

Aramark runs the foodservice at the University of Michiagn as well as the hospital services at U of M. I abided by all the ethics of Aramark that were at one time Service Master’s ethics. I worked hard for Aramark, Chicago Pubilc Schools.

I was told to report to Aramark for supervision and that Ararmark was my direct Boss. I was told never ever tell anyone that you are not an Aramark employee. So now you have told me that I am a Renault Robinson employee….


You brought us into the Aramark office, fed us Aramark food, and told us that we would be placed by Aramark.

ron,

as we discussed yesterday. i will assist you with your cobra, however since you are not an aramark employee the cobra will not be related to aramark or any aramark insurance provider. the cobra needs to be coordinated with Blue Cross Blue Sheild and Renault Robinson.

i spoke with mr. robinson yesterday and he informed me that his organization has sent you the required information for cobra. i will follow up with blue cross and communicate back with you.

sue is an aramark employee and thus is not related to this situation. i will be the aramark contact and i think you will find me responsive.

Manny Arce said his Cobra for his entire family was $172.00 per month and mine is $349.61. Once again the benefits were not the same as Aramark’s and all the promises that they were as usual false. The last time I went on COBRA the employer ran it through. My coverage should also legally be up to 18 months according to Illinois State Law and not 9 months.

Ron:

Since we last spoke, I've learned from our broker that continuation of your medical coverage is with the Illinois Continuation Plan, instead of COBRA. The cost is the same - $349.61/month; dental coverage is not available.

It's necessary for you to complete the attachment and fax it by 8/25/06 to:
847/640-8011 - Attention: Susan. Be sure to place a check in the "IL Continuation" box and write-in the date "7-1-06" in the "IL Continuation Privilege: Start Date." Coverage can be continued for up to 9 months. You will be billed directly by the company, so no payments should be forwarded to me. Therefore, I'm returning your check to you by USPS. My note of advice is to fax the application to Susan asap...certainly within the month of July--well before the deadline.

Feel free to reach me if you have any questions.

Subject: RE: COBRA- My Aramark Business Card
Importance: High

Well,

Your commitment was to place me after Chicago Public Schools. Here is my business card given to me by Aramark. I was told that I had all the same rights as an Aramark Employee by Richard Horner, by Matt Hinkenbein, by Mike Dobson. I was told by you that you would place us after CPS in the same manner. I was told to tell all of Chicago Public Schools that I was an Aramark Employee. I was told that all the benefits were the same, and that I would have use of the Aramark web site that would assist in placement. I was denied employment benefits by Renault Robinson, and I am denied health coverage under Cobra that is guaranteed under Illinois State Law.


I was told after the first year I would be made an Aramark Employee, so I worked as hard as I could for that. Then I was told that I could not become an Aramark Employee, but I would have all the benefits of an Aramark Employee. Then after the Death of my father I returned to work and was working late to catch up after my dad’s funeral, and Mike Doyle grabbed my tie and told me that he was boss and that Stuart Anderson was no good and that he was great.

Aramark runs the foodservice at the University of Michiagn as well as the hospital services at U of M. I abided by all the ethics of Aramark that were at one time Service Master’s ethics. I worked hard for Aramark, Chicago Pubilc Schools.

I was told to report to Aramark for supervision and that Ararmark was my direct Boss. I was told never ever tell anyone that you are not an Aramark employee. So now you have told me that I am a Renault Robinson employee….


You brought us into the Aramark office, fed us Aramark food, and told us that we would be placed by Aramark.

Your employment was with Renault Robinson Staffing and they are your direct contact regarding employment and benefits questions.

I still do not have an answer in regards to this. It is Illinois State law that guarantees an employee 18 months of Cobra insurance. I have been trying since June 15th to find out an answer to this.

The due date is the 28th. Please call me!!

ron,

as we discussed yesterday. i will assist you with your cobra, however since you are not an aramark employee the cobra will not be related to aramark or any aramark insurance provider. the cobra needs to be coordinated with Blue Cross Blue Sheild and Renault Robinson.

i spoke with mr. robinson yesterday and he informed me that his organization has sent you the required information for cobra. i will follow up with blue cross and communicate back with you.

sue is an aramark employee and thus is not related to this situation. i will be the aramark contact and i think you will find me responsive.

daniel throw, hr director, aramark

I have faxed the COBRA payment to “Susan” and have wrote a cover letter asking for “Susan” to call me and tell me that the COBRA form has been properly submitted and that the coverage will last for 18 months.

Could you give me the number of Susan so I can confirm that the forms were received.

Here is my COBRA Form filled out. I would like the phone number of Susan’s Company so I can fax it and then confirm that she received the fax.

Also, last summer Mr. Horner denied my expenses from last summer and I so I have not filled out an expense report since June of 2005. I have mileage and other expenses that Aramark owes me. Matt Hinkenbein has a copy of my last rejected expense report.


I believe you are the food service company for the University Of Michigan. I am not impressed and have never been impressed with any actions that Aramark has ever performed.

In peace and friendship,

Please give me the name of Susan’s Company as well as Susan’s actual phone number so I can make sure she receives this. Manny Arce said his Cobra for his entire family was $172.00 per month and mine is $349.61. Once again the benefits were not the same as Aramark’s and all the promises that they were as usual false. The last time I went on COBRA the employer ran it through. My coverage should also legally be up to 18 months according to Illinois State Law and not 9 months.

Ron:

Since we last spoke, I've learned from our broker that continuation of your medical coverage is with the Illinois Continuation Plan, instead of COBRA. The cost is the same - $349.61/month; dental coverage is not available.

It's necessary for you to complete the attachment and fax it by 8/25/06 to:
847/640-8011 - Attention: Susan. Be sure to place a check in the "IL Continuation" box and write-in the date "7-1-06" in the "IL Continuation Privilege: Start Date." Coverage can be continued for up to 9 months. You will be billed directly by the company, so no payments should be forwarded to me. Therefore, I'm returning your check to you by USPS. My note of advice is to fax the application to Susan asap...certainly within the month of July--well before the deadline.

Feel free to reach me if you have any questions.

Cheryl Bryant
