It is not the stories that matter, it is the pain those stories remind of us each time we repeat them to ourselves and others. We keep the pain alive. We don't have to.
The most amazing part of the human condition, as I live-and-breathe, is how many keep denying themselves their absolute right to choose. In one swift moment all that pain can wash away with one decision... or, not.
I was born to be aware. I am. But, I am not as aware now as I will be upon processing the next choices.
In recent days the process of clarity brought to light the spectrum of a choice made in November 2008. I accepted a crystal of energy when under a great deal of duress caused by the fearful state of the people surrounding me. In doing this I was to remain among the most fearful for many years to expose them to this energy. By May 2009 the hardest part of this process began and lasted until November 12, 2012. Yet, in accepting the burden, I held the key to quickly find and open the door to a Garden of Eden, and step into a blank space to recreate life. On July 26, 2014, with the help of many, I planted that crystal into the ground while walking the streets of Vancouver, and by September 24, 2014 the 90 day nursing of this energy will be complete. My task, here, is quickening.
My birth name is Alison Anne Cameron (DoB 1958-08-26, York Region,
Ontario) and have legally entered a Tenancy Agreement for the 400 sq ft located at 604-25 Clute Street, New
Westminster, BC V3L 1Z6. And, what is written below I affirm to be
a true account.
1. During the week of June 23, 2014, I did the following in one
day: In the morning photocopied a document handwritten by Ana Zlato
Todorovic, Rotary Towers' Building Manager, that she had posted on my
neighbour, Mr Paul Chernenkoff's, door on June 20, 2014; and, penned
a letter to Staff Sergeant E. Ward stating I would be calling that
evening to have a discussion with him about this document and how
Constable Ishii and his (unidentified) female partner had responded
to the report Mr. Dale Chernenkoff initiated on June 13, 2014
regarding the harassment his uncle, Mr Paul Chernenkoff (residing at
605-25 Clute Street for 22 years) had endured by Ms Ana Zlato
Todorovic in collusion with a number of other tenants; And,
2. In the mid-evening, of June 23, 2014, I initiated a conference
call with Mr Paul Chernenkoff and Staff Sergeant E. Ward #172
regarding how Constable Ishii and his female partner (name unknown)
treated my neighbour and friend, Mr Paul Chernenkoff on June 13,
2014. In this conversation both Mr Paul Chernenkoff and I repeated
there is a great deal of distrust when dealing with the police
officers under his command because they are biased in favour of the
people who are and have been bullying Mr. Paul Chernenkoff for years.
In this conversation Staff Sargeant E. Ward evaded making a
statement about Ms Ana Zlato Todorovic's written notice, although he
acknowledged possessing the notice during this conversation. He would
not reply to my reasoning the notice points to suspecting Ms Ana
Zlato Tordorvic of contributing to Mr Paul Chernenkoff's
victimization.
3. On June 20, 2014 Ms Ana Zlato Todorovic wrote to Mr Paul
Chernenkoff the following: “DISTURBANCE OF PEACE AND QUIET.
DISTURBANCE OF ANOTHER OCCUPANT AND THE LANDLORD UNREASONABLY
DISTURBED ANOTHER OCCUPANT AND THE LANDLORD BY SPREADING UN-TRUE
STORIES. SERIOUSLY JEOPARDIZED THE HEALTH OR SAFTEY OR LAWFUL RIGHT
OF ANOTHER OCCUPANTS”.
4. In this discussion with Staff Sergeant E. Ward I got the
distinct impression he was not listening to what I and Mr Paul
Chernenkoff were saying, as his replies were off topic or evasive.
At the end he asked me what I wanted him to do. I replied I wanted
him to instruct the officers under his command to cease and desist
their biases towards Mr Paul Chernenkoff and be impartial. He said,
“I will talk to them”, and that is how the conversation ended.
5. On July 31, 2014, at approximately 11:30 AM, at the entrance of
Rotary Towers, located at 25 Clute Street, New Westminster, BC I
arrived to find my neighbours Mrs Joan McCarthy of unit #101, Mr Jim
McConnville of unit #402, and one Murray and another man known to me
as “Big Paul” were sitting outside, in the exterior lobby. They
immediately started making untrue and insulting remarks about me when
Mr Jim McConnville saw me and notified them of my approach.
6. I responded with, “No matter how nasty you are to me, it will
never make me act like you do. Your projections onto me are lies and
actions say more about how defiant your behaviour is”. To this Mrs
Joan McCarthy leaped up, attempted to hit me with her fist while
verbally threatening to do so, and attempted to take the gardening
tool from my hand. I stepped back to prevent her stealing my
property. At this time, Mr Jim McConnville jumped up and took three
steps to be able to touch me, making the same verbal and gesturing
threats of violence upon me.
7. I walked away while they continued to taunt and threaten me,
and saw Mr Paul Chernenkoff sitting inside the lobby. I opened the
door and asked him if he saw what happened and would he talk to the
police. He said yes to both and I called 911.
8. I called 911 and made the report. I sat beside Mr Paul
Chernenkoff in the lobby. At 11:48 AM Constable Chris Cecil #283
phoned my cell number to say he was in the lobby of a building on
Clute Street. He was at the address 45 Clute Street, and said he
would walk over to “Rotary Towers”, where I was waiting.
9. At this time the husband of Mrs Joan McCarthy of unit 101 came
down and went out to tell Mrs Joan McCarthy her sister had phoned and
the couple left by way of the garden that takes them to the common
first floor balcony.
10. He arrived and immediately turned and talked with the same
group of people who remained in the exterior lobby. I got up, opened
the door and stated I was the one filing the report. Constable C
Cecil turned and walked towards me to sit in the interior lobby with
Mr Paul Chernenkoff and I.
11. Mr Paul Chernenkoff and what occurred and Constable C Cecil
responded with, “I can't get involved with any tenancy issues”.
I said I was well aware of that and that I was reporting bullying and
harassment by a group of people who had been doing the same to Mr
Paul Chernenkoff for at least a decade. Mr Paul Chernenkoff agreed
with my statement.
12. When Constable C Cecil asked what ways this group and Ana
Zlato Torodovic were harassing us, I explained that Mrs Joan McCarthy
conspired with Ms Ana Zlato Torodovic to falsely accuse me of
damaging Mrs Joan McCarthy's bathroom, and that the tenancy process
was under a legal RTA review. Mr Paul Cherenkoff then attempted to
tell Constable C Cecil how he has been harassed and bullied by this
same group of people. Constable C Cecil would not let Mr Paul
Chernenkoff answer.
13. I then told Constable C Cecil that the man Murray, who
remained in the exterior lobby, had told me that Mr Paul Chernenkoff
deserved to be bullied, that the “manager” had told him to do so,
and that he did so. Constable C Cecil said this was hearsay and
attempted to explain it to me. I told him not to waste his time
because I knew what it was and arguing with him on the definition was
wasting time.
14. Constable C Cecil interrupted me saying that his “due
diligence” and “acting impartially” included speaking with all
those who remained in the exterior lobby, Mrs Joan McCarthy and Ms
Ana Zlato Torodovic. I asked to what purpose it would serve to talk
to Ms Ana Zlato Torodovic since she was not a witness to any of the
day's occurrence. I also stated that in my time as a Resident
Manager the police never wanted my testimony if I had not witnessed
events between tenants. Constable C Cecil seemed to get nervous at
my statement, stood and went outside to the people who had remained
in the exterior lobby.
15. Mr Paul Chernenkoff and I both verbalized the same feelings
and thoughts that this police officer was not listening to us and
turning the tables to accuse us and not lay charges against these
people. We continued to watch and discuss how Constable C Cecil was
listening to Mr Jim McConnville to talk about how the Bailiff was due
to arrive to evict me, and make derogatory remarks about mine and Mr
Paul Chernenkoff's mental health.
16. I went upstairs to my unit, #604, to eat and await Ms Ana
Zlato Torodovic appointed arrival at my door. As I was preparing my
lunch I heard a loud knock on my door. I asked who it was, and the
response was “police”. I opened my door to Constable C Cecil who
was holding a copy of a Residential Order of Possession of my unit,
and as he was asking me if I knew about it my toast popped up and I
turned away leaving him to hold the door open and continue the
discussion.
17. I had decided not to ask him why he was discussing a matter
he, in his role as a police officer, is clearly forbidden to do, and
let him question me about the matter.
18. Constable C Cecil asked why I hadn't mentioned this
downstairs, and I replied I had and included the fact it is under
Review, which is a kind of an appeal and under what authority the
Review was filed. I then showed him the receipt from the Residential
Tenancy Branch to prove the action was made, and this is all I am
required to do. He seemed confused and I suggested he call the
Residential Tenancy Branch's number 604 660 1020. He had to ask me
for the number again to write down in his notebook.
19. Constable C Cecil, left my unit muttering he didn't know what
he was doing.
20. At 11:57AM I heard another knock on the door, and expecting Ms
Ana Zlato Torodovic, I turned on my camera and answered the door.
Standing about two feet behind Ms Ana Zlato Torodovic was Constable C
Cecil, as the previously posted video recording shows.
21. Ms Ana Zlato asked me if I had proof the Review had been filed
and I said, “Yes, the officer saw it”. Constable C Cecil made no
comment. She then asked me if I had notified her office and I said,
“No. That is not my responsibility. I suggest you call 604 660
1020”. In response, Ms Ana Zlato Torodovic turned and walked away,
followed by Constable C Cecil.
22. On the morning of August 1, 2014 I called the New Westminster
Police Services non-emergency number and asked to speak with Staff
Sergeant E. Ward. When the Staff Sergeant answered the line, I
identified myself and asked him for his badge number. When he gave
me the number I said, “Thank you” and hung up.
23. I immediately went to the New Westminster Police Services
station, located at Columbia and 6th Streets, and in my business
there asked for a Complaint Form. The woman informed me that she
could not give one to me, but would arrange for the appropriate
person to do so. I waited in the lobby. This woman repeated my full
name numerous times before she left.
24. After approximately 10 minutes I heard a male voice call out
“Ma'am”and I turned to see a white male, with salt and pepper
hair standing on the other side of the enclosed counter. I walked to
him and saw his badge number, 172. He immediately said he believed I
was the one who called earlier for his badge number and I confirmed
it. He asked me who the officer is that I am making a complaint
about, and I replied, “You”.
25. Staff Sergeant E Ward then attempted to evade my request by
making statements about the complaint procedure. I concisely told him
all I needed was the form, as I know the “protocols”. He said he
would get a form and instructed me to wait. I did so, and went to
look at the antique vehicle displayed on the opposite side of the
lobby.
26. Approximately five minutes later Staff Sergeant E Ward entered
the lobby from the door way closest to me with a Complaint Form in
hand. He made a comment implying that I was not intelligent enough
to understand the form. I replied, “Oh, I'm pretty adept at
English,” then pause to consider how I was going to end this
conversation. I chose to look him straight in the eye, nod and
leave.
She is being given the services of the police to intimidate. She has gotten away with using the tenants to bully and intimidate other tenants, because her workplace is full of bullies.
Corruption lies in the willingness of the people to allow it. Do you really want your children being bullied? If you do nothing about this kind of thing among the adults, your children will have to endure it.
What have I ever done to anyone to deserve this kind of treatment? Fill me in, because this eviction means homelessness and a reduction of income from $946. to $644. per month. Market rent for a bachelor in my area is $650.

Reflection of personal problems
Bullying is a criminal offence, and may be classified as any
of the following:
The destruction of our
foundation, the buildings, has its root in the cupidity our society
functions; a wounded place in our collective psyche. The last 2000
years we have been working our way out of the the old schism of
denying our choices exist. Dr Robert Sutton recognized this dynamic
and his publisher agreed, the message far outweighs the sensibilities
many would have with the title, “The No-Asshole Rule”.
That one rule is the catalyst
to change from having choices and not: We are all assholes to each
other, and we know it. We do have choices, every day, and when we
enact the asshole behaviour we say the another is “not good enough
to have what I have”. The studies from the Adult Children of
Alcoholics (ACOA) has long identified this behaviour as shaming. We
now call it bullying.
We bully when we “spread[ing]
malicious rumors, undermining or deliberately impeding a person's
work, withholding necessary information or giving the wrong
information, pestering, belittling a person's opinions, tampering
with a person's personal belongings, or work equipment”.

Aviary's Avarice
The epitome of our white
collar existence has been to make that wound continually bleed. To
never include the whole by denying a group what every member needs to
survive – food, clothing and shelter – for a time periods beyond
requirement is being the bully.
The hawk's eyes always seek
separately for their prey, while the hunting instinct requires
camouflage. Funnily enough, UBC's Dr Robert Hare applies the hunter
characteristics to his psychopath's scale when describing business
people. Why BC authorities do not use the said scale when assessing
mental health and criminal behaviour when the rest of the Western
world is, is beyond me.
Platitudes
...is all I'm hearing as an
absolute homeless person (November 15th, 2012 - January 14, 2014)
regarding appropriate housing for me; and, I am not the only one with
a mental health diagnosis to be bullied by members of the BCGEU (British Columbia Government Employees Union), et
al. That empty space between the words, “I took this job to help
people” and the actual emotional intent behind the results to help
the other is where being an asshole, or not, is born
In the late 1970's, while wandering the Grand Canyon and Mexico I was reading Carlos Castaneda's books. As usual my mind wandered in and out of the sentences and picked only that which is tangible, the meditation exercises and rituals.
The one that was most effective was watching the sunset through the left eye while looking northward, and the sunrise through the right eye looking southward. Every day energized me like nothing else and actually brought clarity between the known and unknown in my awareness. I watched the night sky from the bottom of the canyon; stars appearing from one edge and disappearing behind the opposite edge, then I began to feel the rotation of the Earth. In came the warmth of being a part of this planet while nested a mile within, and watching the universe be tantalizingly mysterious.
Since then I have learned other exercises and rituals that don't include the power of sunshine but can shift the yin/yang to a balanced position just as powerfully. Today I combined the two and now I'm reeling in rainbows sparking between the synapses of thought, tingling the joy and happiness in the mundane.
In every democratic country/state/province there is a legal clause setting a minimum percentage of votes required to form a government. This minimum translates into the number of elected representatives for both sides.
Not all the laws across the democratic world include the proviso the employed sector of the government ceases to function, should the elected percentage fail to meet the required percentage. But, there will be chaos, as the top-level bureaucracy people will be forced to seek a solution, and instruct the people in the legal departments to do a great deal of research. In being forced to find the solution in they must dig through pass legislation, thus causing more people to know the hidden and forgotten. This "drop in the bucket" of information always ripples outward.
The ripples in life, and we must have them to survive and thrive, always spread throughout the awareness of our beast. This is how we have achieved what we have and will have more. That more comes with balance and accountability.
Should the majority spoil their ballot with "NO CONFIDENCE" written across the names it legally tells the government, those seeking-election and the-employed, the people are no longer tolerating bad behavior, aka bad government.
These stills show the colour and texture more accurately. It is the "Lost Button" because when you find one you need, it is usually impossible to retrieve.
