Perception & Age: The Nuts & Bolts (Greasing the Gears)

The following is not intended to be medical advice. It is for informational purposes only, and general consideration. This is the third of a three-part series I have posted in relation to elder care.

As people age, dopamine levels naturally decline. This is a fact of life.

In a nation with aging Baby Boomers, political campaigners often frame voting decisions negatively knowing negative messaging helps to persuade older people. This is very different from how they target younger voters, which has more optimistic messages and focuses on benefits and rewards. As it turns out, the elderly and aged adults are more swayed by negative than positive messaging in study after study. The reasons are more fundamental in nature than you might think.

Dopamine plays a critical role in our perceptions of reward and pleasure. Why is it that aging adults increasingly have less of it? This is partly due to the increased activity of monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) as people get older. MAO-B degrades dopamine. This promotes falling dopamine levels. Every decade past the age of 45 dopamine levels decline by 13% on average. This decline is directly proportional with the increase in MAO-B.

Most drugs that have been developed in relation to neurotransmitters are for serotonin. Modern medicine continues to struggle with how to respond with effective treatments to a range of conditions and disorders promoted by dopamine dysregulation and decline. Some of these have focused on inhibiting the MAO-B enzyme. Others focus on nutrition, noting that a specific form of vitamin B12 helps protect neurons and prevent a decline in dopamine levels.

Dopamine is important to helping regulate mood, but it does much more than that. It’s critical to our cognitive health, and cognitive decline is known to accompany dopamine decline. It supports memory, retention and more. Dopamine not only maintains our motivation and feelings of pleasure but reduces risk for neurodegenerative illnesses. It isn’t just a neurotransmitter; it is known as the “feel-good hormone”. Low dopamine levels are associated with depression, aka “unhappiness”, dissatisfaction, etcetera. Dopamine is fundamental for movement, body coordination, learning and cognition. Sustaining and maintaining dopamine levels is so fundamental to the body it is associated with prolonged lifespans due to all the critical roles it plays in the body.

It is now known that MAO-B activity is higher in dementia patients than in non-impaired individuals the same age. Some feel this is an indication it has a strong role in neurodegeneration. Why? Increased MAO-B activity results in potentially damaging by-products that form and are known to contribute to diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Disease.

This is why it has become common for doctors to prescribe MAO-B inhibitors like Deprenyl (aka selegiline). People with dopamine deficiency related health issues need to retain more dopamine and stop its degradation promoted by increased MAO-B activity with aging. Once the symptoms surface suggesting the effects of dopamine decline, early treatment, or treatment as soon as possible (as identification and diagnosis allows), is better.

The drug Deprenyl is similar to discoveries made of some plants that naturally inhibit MAO-B enzymes. Phellodendron tree bark as one of the most potent plant-derived MAO-B inhibitors. This is NOT the same as the houseplant Philodendron. The Phellodendron tree is also known as the Amur cork tree. It has been safely used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries to treat various ailments. Lab experiments using extracts of Phellodendron bark selectively inhibited over 80% of MAO-B activity, which is comparable to the drug Deprenyl. Phellodendron also protects against neuroinflammation, beta-amyloid production, and other changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease, while helping to maintain cognitive function. It has demonstrated anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and antitumor properties.

Elevated MAO-B has known neurotoxic effects.

Those who take MAO-B-inhibiting drugs such as Deprenyl do not need to take Phellodendron. Neither is Phellodendron is not a substitute for physician-prescribed medications. However, plants like it were the inspiration for the modern medicines we have in this category of drugs that have proved useful.

A form of B12, adenosyl-cobalamin, has also been shown to prevent a decline in dopamine levels and protect neurons. Research for this was funded by the Michael J. Fox Foundation.

None of this is to suggest that dopamine decline necessarily equates to poorer decision making. There is little difference between older and younger demographics in studies involving this question. However, the concern is quality of life for those aging and in their elder years, reducing pain and discomfort and extending good health in ways that must incorporate dopamine as a consideration in general health and maintenance, even as other aspects of health are.

The Connection Between Salt & Sugar

I am not a doctor. I am not a medical expert.

The older people get, the more sensitive they are likely to become to sugar and salt. As a consequence, especially over time, this stresses organs, glands and systems of the body and its regulation. The heart and cardiovascular, the brain and nervous system, the gut, and especially the liver and kidneys, take the brunt of this. They get tired and exhausted, too, as we age. Giving them a break can be very meaningful for our health. For many, the first step in that often requires reducing or eliminating sugar, salt, or (ideally) both.

Hyperglycemia (diabetes) and hyperchloremia (high salt; electrolyte imbalance) can contribute to one another and both are hard on the body’s systems, processes and organs. Because of the stress that both induce on the kidneys, other imbalances may occur as well.

Reducing and eliminating sugar and salt has benefits for older adults where health issues begin to surface. First, it relieves stress on the kidneys and liver. Blood pressure goes down. The host of benefits is so great, in fact, it’s difficult not to perceive the “win” and upsides to managing to accomplish that dietary change. People often focus on one or the other, but both are important to achieve the full end benefits.

Vitamin D deficiency is more common the older adults get. This contributes to dopamine drop-offs and deficiency, as well as issues with bones and muscles. Vitamin D is important to bone maintenance in adult bodies. It assists in maintaining the balance of calcium in the blood and bones, among other factors. It plays a role with the nervous system, musculoskeletal system and immune system. Vitamin D must persist enough in the body for it to use calcium and phosphorous to build and maintain bones.

The food you eat, followed by sunlight, are the two best ways to acquire it, with supplements a third option.

People can develop chronic and/or severe Vitamin D deficiency. As a result, calcium and phosphorous absorption in the intestines leads to hypocalcemia. That means low levels of calcium in the blood. A secondary reaction to that by the body is hyperparathyroidism. The parathyroid glands become overactive in an attempt to keep calcium levels in the blood normal. In other words, rather than hyperparathyroidism being a primary diagnosis, it is a secondary diagnosis, with hypocalcemia being the primary diagnosis, and the underlying cause Vitamin D deficiency. Whenever we examine “hyper-” and “hypo-” conditions, understand that the body is an adaptive organism and attempts to compensate in response as it regulates. Therefore, the body’s overproduction or overactivity regarding some functions may reveal other physiological functions that are underperforming, upon further investigation. Identifying these contributes to generating more complete information that delivers better diagnoses and treatment.

Symptoms of hypocalcemia and hyperparathyroidism include muscle weakness, cramps, fatigue and even depression. It’s important to remember that mental health isn’t a complete diagnosis in its own right but is accompanied by underlying comorbid physical factors promoting mental health issues. For instance, depression is a common effect of stroke or cardiovascular conditions leading up to that. It is scientifically understood that treating mental health is insufficient without identifying and treating the underlying physical causes promoting it.

Secondary hyperparathyroidism takes calcium from the bones to maintain calcium levels in the blood. This accelerates bone demineralization. Older adult bodies heal and repair themselves at slower rates than their younger counterparts, so this condition is more profound in older adults since bone can breakdown faster than it can reform. Osteomalacia (soft bones) can result, along with osteoporosis and other conditions. This leaves older adults more vulnerable to bone breaks and fractures. Deformities in joints and incorrect growth patterns in bones that manifest as bowing or bent bones can emerge. This comes with bone pain and muscle weakness. Depression is also one of the symptoms.

Sometimes people don’t properly absorb or use Vitamin D. This can be the result of certain medical conditions or medications. Conditions of the kidney and stress on them are particularly noted for reducing the amount of certain enzymes the body needs to convert Vitamin D to a form it can use. What are these enzymes? Hepatic enzyme 25–hydroxylase from your liver and 1-alpha-hydroxylase from your kidneys. Insufficiencies in either of these enzymes leads to deficiencies of active Vitamin D circulating in the body.

A checklist of medications that can lower Vitamin D levels includes:
[] Laxatives
[] Steroids (example: prednisone)
[] Cholesterol lowering drugs (example: cholestyramine and colestipol)
[] Seizure preventing drugs (example: phenobarbital and phenytoin)
[] Rifampin (a tuberculosis drug)
[] Orlistat (a weight-loss drug)

Healthcare providers don’t usually order routine checks of Vitamin D levels.

Certain medical conditions or risk factors for vitamin D deficiency (or symptoms of it) warrant a Vitamin D level check. A provider must order it.

There are two types of tests. The most common is the 25-hydroxyvitamin D, known as 25(OH)D.

The goal of treatment and prevention is the same. Reach and maintain adequate levels of Vitamin D in the body.

Vitamin D supplements come in different forms, just like other vitamins. Some are more easily digested and assimilated than others. Sometimes a broken-down version of a vitamin is easier for the body to absorb and utilize where it is having issues breaking down or metabolizing it. This saves the body steps and bypasses problem points to resume or continue delivering the body what it requires nutritionally in metabolic processes for its greater tasks and functions.

The two forms of Vitamin D are D2 and D3. D2 comes from plants, known as ergocalciferol. D3 comes from animals, known as cholecalciferol. D2 is available in vegan form, while D3 is the commonly available form found in most vitamin supplements. Here is the difference between them. Other than acquiring a vegan multivitamin source with D2, it is usually given by prescription from doctors. While Vitamin D3 is considered more bioavailable and is sustained longer in the bloodstream and body, Vitamin D2 is considered more appropriate as indicated to treat calcium disorders and parathyroid disorders. It is also the preferred form for patients with chronic kidney disease or stressed kidneys. The vitamin D prescription people get from a doctor is typically for 50,000 units of vitamin D2.

Health issues and problems are complicated. Some of the remedies, if caught early enough, however, can be simple and significantly reduce these and extend health. We often treat the symptoms in modern medicine. Diagnostics are expensive. We forget the basics and the underlying good measures we can take to help ourselves. Medicines help, but they aren’t necessarily cures. I hope the simple practices described herein for reducing salt, sugar and understanding the underlying mechanisms at work prove useful or helpful if you are facing these kinds of questions and health issues.

OLDER LOVED ONES: COMPASSION

-Provide reassurance and support
-Encourage exercise, support group
-Maintain a normal routine and avoid unnecessary changes
-Older adults may be triggered by a previous traumatic event, especially after feeling helpless because of a new disability
-Recognize and acknowledge that older loved one’s fears and worries are normal AND real; ACCEPT, don’t minimize

*SLOW down, SLOW the pace, PAUSE, take a DEEP breath until heart rate decelerates, work towards maintaining and returning to baseline (helps with brain training, recovery & restoration, and mitigation of effects of declining heart health, which promotes and amplifies stress and dysregulation (impulse control…certain functions outpace others))
*LISTEN

Always go back to basics…air, hydration, food (nutrition), rest, some exercise (light & easy), environment
Reduce stress
Short tasks, small steps, shorter durations of time with more pauses and reflection (time to think)
*Avoid long tasks, long conversations, longer series of steps

Breathe. Focus on your breath and let other thoughts fade away. Don’t judge yourself for having them, but don’t pursue them; try to let them go.

Practice self-compassion and encourage self-compassion

Give yourself credit for trying and encourage that

Practice positive self-talk (even for a minute or two) until you reach a point where you notice it’s starting to help you and you feel less stressed

Keep at it. It isn’t like riding a bike. You must do it regularly for it to help you.

Practice mindfulness. It helps you not only recognize your emotions and stay attuned to it, but with also what’s going on with your body without judging any of it as good or bad.

Notice if your body is tense or if your mind keeps trying to go back to a particular unpleasant topic, but don’t get down on yourself — just recognize what’s going on as a way of gathering information about yourself.

Friends are important. Choose friends carefully, who can be rea friends of support.

Consider joining a meditation group.

Light and easy exercise that doesn’t stress you is helpful. Maybe it is light yoga, using the back of a chair as support, lifting the leg and flexing the foot while practicing balance and shifting posture. (chair yoga)
Small walks
Swimming and water aerobics
Music and dancing, light movement with music
Bodyweight exercises

Avoid sugar and salt, but hydrate well
Proper nutrition is critical for your mental and physical health. Your food fuels your brain, so getting the right balance of protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates will help you
Remember moderation and balance your diet with variety in place of overindulging on one thing


Pros & Cons of:
Being goal oriented, mission oriented, focused on accomplishing the task and completing it (also amplifies tendency for “tunnel vision” and forgetting to breath, pause, which is important to de-stressing, managing stress as we go…)
*What is great about being focused and goal oriented can also be an Achilles heel as we age…which is why “moderation” and “good habit” and continuing to encourage and develop the skill of checking in with one’s self and reflecting as we go is useful and helpful, something we must all WORK at as we age and cope with health issues and what continues with life

Technology is inherently stressful, since it always comes with demanding time and many series of steps with troubleshooting and doesn’t work reliably…coupled with the fact that our society and lives are more dependent than ever on it, a stress for older adults and those with health problems to interface with the services and continue to engage in community and their needs utilizing it as they need to

Common sources of stress for our older loved ones:
-Stress from being dependent on others
-Cost of living expenses or medical expenses
-Bereavement
-Social isolation and loneliness
-Fear of falling or other medical emergencies

Personal autonomy and maintaining that, with independence, is important to each older person

Social interaction is important to our older loved ones.
Worry can compete with positive interactions. Remember that we are seeking positive relations from each other, so remember to “stop and smell the roses” and let the worry fall to th wayside. Let that positivity grow. Worry is like a weed that eats at our garden. Cultivate and nurture. Worry comes with stress and feeds the same. Give worry its due, but let the flowers bloom, too.

2 U.S. Senators call for Tesla recalls after Reuters Investigation

BY STEVE STECKLOW- 11:02 AM ET 12/27/2023

Unsafe at any speed? The spirit of Ralph Nader runs strong. The nation owes him and Reuters, in its investigative journalism capacity, a debt. Elon Musk is a walthy greedy crafty bastard. Caveat emptor.

Two U.S. Senators have written to Elon Musk, Tesla’s top executive, calling on him to “swiftly” recall any steering and suspension parts that pose a safety risk.

The letter cites “an alarming” Reuters investigation published on December 20 that exposed how Tesla has blamed drivers for frequent failures of components it has long known were defective.

“We write with extreme concern following recent reporting about Tesla’s knowledge of safety flaws in its vehicles and concealment of the causes of these flaws from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,” states the letter, which is signed by Senators Richard Blumenthal, of Connecticut, and Edward J. Markey, of Massachusetts.

The senators call on Musk to correct “apparent false and misleading representations” made to the safety agency.

The Reuters report found that Tesla told NHTSA and customers that the frequent failures of defective parts in its electric vehicles were caused by driver “abuse,” such as hitting a curb. In 2020, Tesla gave that explanation in a letter to the safety agency explaining why it would not recall a suspension part called the aft link in the United States, despite having just recalled it in China.

Tesla documents reviewed by Reuters show the automaker’s engineers for years tracked frequent failures of aft links and other suspension, steering and axle parts, often on relatively new cars. The company instructed its service managers to tell customers that the parts were not faulty as it struggled to contain soaring warranty costs, the records reviewed by Reuters show.

“We are disturbed that you would blame your customers for these failures,” stated the letter from Blumenthal and Markey, both Democrats. “It is unacceptable that Tesla would not only attempt to shift the responsibility for the substandard quality of its vehicles to the people purchasing them, but also make that same flawed argument to NHTSA.”

Musk and Tesla did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the senators’ letter. Neither answered detailed questions from Reuters for the Dec. 20 investigation.

Sweden’s Transport Agency said on Friday that it’s investigating suspension failures in Tesla cars. The inquiry is similar to one being carried out in neighboring Norway, where the Norwegian Public Roads Administration said last week it was looking into consumer complaints about lower rear control arms breaking on its Model S and X vehicles.

Markey and Blumenthal have previously raised concerns about Tesla’s marketing practices and the safety of its automated driving technology.

In April, the senators wrote to Musk questioning him about another Reuters investigation, which reported that groups of Tesla employees had circulated, via an internal messaging system, private and sometimes highly invasive recordings from customers’ car cameras.

Latent Psychopathology: Family Courts

Marin County Civic Center Shooting, August 1970

Notice: Maladministration & Interference in Familial Association & Liberty

Notice to Agent is Notice to Principal and Notice to Principal is Notice to Agent

We, the People of the 50 American States, Republican in form, (as seen in Washington’s and the U.S. Constitution in Article 1, Section 1) Sui Juris, do bring you this Notice so that you and your agents provide immediate due care;

Please take notice, that the People have assembled and know the fundamental laws and their inherent rights to instruct our representatives of their duties contained in the Express Trust Indenture, the California Constitution. We wish to remind you of your sworn oath, that binds you to preserve these personal rights, while upholding the law of God.

California Constitution Article II Text of Section 1:
“All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for their protection, security, and benefit, and they have the right to alter or reform it when the public good may require.”

California Constitution Article 1 Text of Section 3:

(a) “The people have the right to instruct their representatives, petition government for redress of grievances, and assemble freely to consult for the common good.”

Please take notice, that the People have gained knowledge and now realize and know that government actors, across every state, have been coming together in Title 42 programs (non-positive law), and using legislative tribunals (not courts of record) to take children from parents unlawfully. These same government actors are, at the same time, also making money from federal programs, functioning outside of their constitutional duties.

California Constitution Article 1 Text of Section 7:
“A person may not be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law or denied equal protection of the law. “

Maxim of Law: 77f. No freeman shall be deprived of life, liberty or property but by the lawful judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land—that is by the common law. C.L.M.

Maxim of Law: 63y. It is the duty of a judge to declare [enunciate] the law, not to enact the law or make it. Lofft, 42; Tray. Leg. Max. 283; Lofft. App. 42.

California Constitution Article VI Text of Section 1:

(a) “The judicial power of this State is vested in the Supreme Court, courts of appeal, and superior courts, all of which are courts of record.” [Highlight added for emphasis]

Black’s Law 4th Edition. Courts of record – A “court of record” is a judicial tribunal having the attributes and exercising functions independently of the person of the magistrate designated generally to hold it, and proceeding according to the course of common law, its acts and proceedings being enrolled for a perpetual memorial. Jones v. Jones, 188 Mo. App. 220, 175 W.W. 227, 229; Ex parte Gladhill, 8 Metc.Mass., 171, per Shaw, C. J. See, also, Ledwith v. Roselsky, 244 N.Y. 406, 155 N.E. 688, 689

Maxim of Law: 63f. A good judge should do nothing of his own arbitrary will, nor on the dictate of his personal inclination, but should decide according to law and justice. 7, Coke, 27a.

California Constitution Article III Text of Section 3:
“The powers of state government are legislative, executive, and judicial. Persons charged with the exercise of one power may not exercise either of the others except as permitted by this Constitution.”

Maxim of Law: 44n. To commit [an act] and not to prohibit one when in your power, is the same thing; and he who does not prohibit or forbid when he can prevent it is in fault, or does the same as ordering it to be done. 2 Inst. 146, 308; 3 Inst. 158.

Please take notice, it is clear in section 1101 (6)(d) of the 1935 Social Security Act that there was never an original intent for the Legislature to grant authority to take children against the parents’ objections. (see evidence below)

Social Security Act 1935
SECTION 1101(6)(d
) Nothing in this Act shall be construed as authorizing any Federal official, agent, or representative, in carrying out any of the provisions of this Act, to take charge of any child over the objection of either of the parents of such child, or of the person standing in loco parentis to such child. [Highlight added for Emphasis.]

Maxim of Law: 36p. Equity suffers not a wrong without a remedy. 4 Bouv. Inst. no. 3726

Please take further Notice, Contra Costa Family Court is a creature of the legislature, operating in a statutory jurisdiction, and can never be used arbitrarily, to terminate Common Law Rights of One of The People. Black’s Law 5th Edition defines Common Law as being distinguished from law made by legislative enactment. All legislative tribunals moving in the name of Contra Costa Family Court operate as courts that are not independent of the legislature. Therefore, by definition, they are not independent courts of record. The non-judicial tribunal, held by Leonard E. Marquez, sent correspondence to Andrea Guerrero on September 25th, 2023, with threats of sanctions, family court attorney fees, possible civil and criminal penalties, and may place orders that would further affect her Inherent rights as a Parent. Leonard E. Marquez is acting in maladministration and circumventing fundamental principles of law and historical customs that Parents are to be in the full care, custody and control of their children. [Highlight added for emphasis]

Black’s Law 11th Edition. Maladministration. (17c) Poor management or regulation by a public officer; specif., an official’s abuse of power.

Maxim of Law: 65c. An action of a judge which relates not to his office is of no force. Dig. 50, 17, 170; 10 Coke, 76. A judicial act before one not a judge is void. Lofft. 458

Maxim of Law: 86j. The right of blood and kindred cannot be destroyed by any civil law. Dig. 50, 17, 9; Bacon, Max. 533; Jackson v. Phillips, 14 Allen (Mass.) 562.

Please take notice, that it is my wish, as one of the People, you shall immediately and openly declare, you are using these unlawful acts of non-judicial tribunals to infringe upon the individual rights of parents, as well as taking their children using courts not of record, without constitutional due process. It is my demand, as one of the People, that you, Legislative body members, immediately bring forth investigations into these unlawful acts. As public servants and trustees, you have the duty to immediately correct this issue.

Please take final Notice, the People wish for you to show clear grants of constitutional authority that allow you to use non-judicial tribunals to take liberty interests from parents without constitutional due process.

5 Long Years – Sheriff Snaza’s Silent Suffering Victim

Oct 16, 2022 by Melissa Genson

There but for fortune, go you and I.  – Phil Ochs

Sheriff Snaza’s victim suffers in silence, for nearly five years –

In August 2016, Thurston County Washington Sheriff John Snaza was riding his motorcycle on a remote Montana highway – without a helmet – while vacationing with friends.

The Montana Highway Patrol said that Snaza may have been passing other motorcycles when he lost control of his bike on a curve, and went down an embankment.

John Snaza suffered life-threatening injuries, including head injuries.  It was a miracle that he survived.

Thurston County citizens rallied around their Sheriff with outpourings of prayers and support.  It was considered unseemly to even whisper that Snaza was solely responsible for his motorcycle crash.  It was assumed that he would learn from his stupid mistake of riding recklessly without a helmet.

Five months later, my husband Steve and I attended the swearing-in ceremony for Thurston County’s newly elected officials, at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts.

John Snaza was given the seat of honor on center stage.  He was asked to lead the flag salute. Congressman Denny Heck delivered an emotional speech about how happy we all were to see our sheriff alive and back with us.

Fast forward one year from that ceremony.  Just one year.

On the morning of February 16, 2018, Louis Gillespie was sitting in his Toyota at a red light, behind a garbage truck, at a busy Lacey intersection.  The beginning of an ordinary day.

A Thurston County government vehicle was barreling down on him, from behind.

Gillespie was a sitting duck.  He had nowhere to go.  Nothing he could do.

This time, Sheriff Snaza wasn’t going to be his own victim.  This time, his victim was going to be a helpless stranger.

Sheriff Snaza didn’t even hit the brakes before crashing into Gillespie’s Toyota.  Snaza’s speed was estimated to have been between 35 and 40 mph when he hit Gillespie’s stopped vehicle.

John Snaza wasn’t chasing a bad guy.  And the stoplight at the big Pacific and Sleater-Kinney intersection was hardly an unexpected surprise.

At that location, Snaza’s estimated mph was over the speed limit.

Gillespie’s Toyota was shoved into the garbage truck that was stopped in front of him.  The Toyota broke into pieces.  Gillespie was badly injured – but by the grace of God, he survived.

John Snaza walked away without a scratch.  His county vehicle was totaled.

It hasn’t been an easy road for John Snaza’s victim.  Louis Gillespie needed surgeries and long treatments. Nearly five years later, he is still suffering.

And Louis Gillespie has since learned that was just the beginning of his nightmare.  His nightmare is only getting worse.

Louis Gillispie is learning that the Thurston County Courthouse takes care of its own.  No judge, and no Prosecuting Attorney was going to let Sheriff Snaza pay for what he did to Louis Gillespie – in any way.

And the Courthouse sure wasn’t going to let the voters know what happened.  After all, 2018 was an election year for John Snaza.  Just like 2022 is.

The Courthouse only needed to do two things.  First, they needed to keep the outcome of Snaza’s latest crash a secret. The Sheriff’s Office told the press that Snaza’s victim was uninjured.  End of story.

And up until this past week, they have been very, very successful at keeping Sheriff Snaza’s nearly five-year-old secret.

But just in case the story got out, they had a Plan B.

Thurston County Courthouse’s Plan B –

Not surprisingly, the Courthouse’s Plan B was to smear John Snaza’s victim.  Like he hadn’t already been through enough.

They knew they couldn’t blame the wreck on anyone but John Snaza.  He was approaching a red light at a busy intersection.  There were no skid marks.  He never even tried to stop.  Facts are facts.  Velocity is velocity. Especially at Snaza’s speed.

So the Courthouse decided to accuse Gillespie of faking his injuries.  Prosecuting Attorney Jon Tunheim – who is also a political supporter and longtime friend of Sheriff Snaza – has led the charge against Snaza’s victim.  For nearly five years.

Just for safety’s sake, Jon Tunheim brought in outside lawyers for Sheriff Snaza, at taxpayer expense.

Anyone who has been hit from behind at Snaza’s rate of speed, like Gillespie was, knows how long and hard the recovery is.

And the last thing that a victim like Gillespie needs, is for sleazy lawyers to call him a liar about the injuries he sustained in a horrific crash.

Tragically for Louis Gillespie – John Snaza has had no shortage of such lawyers, who will do anything to protect Snaza’s job.  Especially in election years.

The Courthouse protected Sheriff Snaza’s job in the 2018 election.  They are moving heaven and earth to protect Snaza’s job again in the 2022 election.  Which is just three weeks away.

Since 2016, John Snaza has basked in the deluge of support and adoration lavished on him – for a crash that was his own fault.

But when Snaza’s same recklessness soon caused suffering for a helpless stranger, his expectations didn’t change.  Snaza had to keep center stage and the spotlight, no matter what.

John Snaza still expects the same adoration and support to shine on him, no matter how many innocent victims he has hurt.  And he has hurt many over the years.

John Snaza has always believed that keeping his job is more important than any of his victims’ lives.

And to this day, he hurls hate and abuse on anyone who dares to disagree.

And so do Snaza’s important friends at the Courthouse.

Washington State’s vehicular assault law –

Washington has two separate criminal laws to help victims of these kinds of crashes – Vehicular Assault and Reckless Driving.  A driver can be charged with both.

Reckless driving requires intent.  The prosecutor needs to prove that the driver “willfully or wantonly” intended for the crash to happen.

Vehicular assault, though, doesn’t require intent.  Vehicular assault just requires that the driver caused substantial bodily harm to a victim, by either driving in a reckless manner, disregarding the safety of others, or being under the influence.  The law and the State Supreme Court’s jury instructions make that very clear.

For a detailed discussion of the State Supreme Court’s interpretation of both Reckless Driving and Vehicular Assault, click here to read their 2005 decision in State v Roggenkamp.

“Substantial bodily harm” is defined in RCW 9A.04.110(b).  It’s hard to argue that Louis Gillespie’s injuries wouldn’t meet that definition.

Sheriff Snaza’s February 16, 2018 actions, that caused Louis Gillespie’s injuries, certainly meet the Supreme Court’s definitions of driving in a reckless manner, and disregarding the safety of others.  As the Supreme Court says – the law is plainly written, and it means what it says.

Based on the law and the State Supreme Court, it sure looks like John Snaza committed Vehicular Assault against Louis Gillispie.

Vehicular Assault is a Class B felony.  Class B felonies can get you ten years in state prison.

Except that John Snaza’s civil legal team is arguing that Louis Gillespie is faking his injuries.  They have hired “expert witnesses” – at taxpayer expense, of course – to claim that Gillispie’s surgeries and long treatments were just for fun.  No harm, no foul.  No injuries, no Vehicular Assault.  And no liability.

Naturally, Sheriff Snaza was never arrested or charged with Vehicular Assault.  Who was going to arrest him?  Who was going to prosecute him?  His loyal campaign supporter and longtime friend, Prosecuting Attorney Jon Tunheim?  When pigs fly.

The role of the Prosecuting Attorney –

Under state law, the county Prosecuting Attorney has two main jobs.  First, he’s supposed to prosecute the bad guys.  Like people who commit Vehicular Assault.

Second, the prosecutor is supposed to act as the civil defense attorney when county officials do something bad to hurt someone.  Like when the Sheriff does things that are really, really bad that hurt people.  And there are no shortage of injury claims against John Snaza in the hopper.  Louis Gillespie is just one of them.

Thurston County Prosecutor Jon Tunheim can hire a special prosecutor, where there is a conflict of interest.  But that would hardly be an act of loyalty to his buddy John Snaza.  No matter how much a train wreck like Snaza costs the county over the years, the Courthouse elites always stand by him.

After all, they aren’t the ones picking up the tab for him.  The taxpayers are.  And they have no say in the matter.

The Thurston County Sheriff’s Office routinely says that crime victims with serious injuries are just liars.  When victims try to give the Sheriff’s Office medical records proving their injuries, and physical evidence proving the crime, the Sheriff’s Office says that they decide what goes in their files – not the crime victims.

That includes victims of violent crime, with life-threatening injuries.

The Sheriff’s Office says that they conceal evidence of serious crimes at the request of the Prosecutor’s Office.  The two offices see themselves as one big Courthouse family who works together.

Concealing evidence is a crime, and the Courthouse folks are not exempt.

Except that they’re not going to arrest and prosecute themselves.

They say that it’s all so complicated and the rest of us just can’t understand.

Case # 19-2-05859-34

Louis Gillespie filed a claim against Thurston County, for his injuries caused by John Snaza on February 18, 2018.  Naturally, the county denied the claim.

So Gillespie filed a lawsuit against the county – Case # 19-2-05859-34.  The presiding judge is Carol Murphy.

To see the titles of the case documents, go to this page and click on “Smart Search” with the green spy glass.  At the next page, put in the case number and do the little captcha thing at the bottom.  That will take you to the case page.

The first thing you will notice is that the defendant is just “Thurston County.”  You don’t see John Snaza’s name anywhere.

The Odyssey Portal doesn’t let you see the actual documents.  You have to order those from the court, and pay for them.

So it was really easy for John Snaza, Jon Tunheim and the other Courthouse elites to hide the whole thing.

For all these years.

Prosecutor Jon Tunheim hired extra lawyers and expert witnesses to say that Gillespie was faking his injuries.

Typical strip-mall lawyer stuff.  We’ve all seen it.  No big whup.

Except that this defendant was different.  This defendant was Sheriff John Snaza, who believes that being a Sheriff means never having to say you are sorry.  Or even having to admit you did anything wrong.

The judge allowed Sheriff Snaza to get away with not being deposed by Gillespie’s lawyers – or even having to testify at a trial.

If a trial ever happens.

Would a judge do that for you?

When pigs fly.

The trial that never was –

The trial for Gillespie v Thurston County was delayed, and delayed, and delayed.

Finally, a date was set – Monday, October 17th.  Yesterday.

Nearly five years after Sheriff John Snaza crashed his county car into Louis Gillespie’s Toyota.

But more importantly, if you’re John Snaza, just three weeks before the Sheriff election.

Sheriff Snaza lost the August primary by five percentage points, to a 28 year old Deputy from within his own office – Derek Sanders.  At the time, Sanders was a relative unknown among the county who’s whos.

But some grateful people knew about Deputy Sanders.

The below photo is Sheriff Snaza presenting Deputy Sanders the Medal of Valor and two lifesaving awards in October of 2020.  At the time, Snaza stated “Deputy Sanders exemplifies each of the seven core values of our department when he ran into a burning building to rescue a wheelchair bound woman.”

The Apprentice

In politics, as in life, you never know what karma has in store for you.

And Sheriff Snaza lost the primary without voters even knowing what Snaza had done to Louis Gillespie.  What Snaza and Prosecutor Jon Tunheim had kept secret for nearly five years.

Even with everything he knew – and had successfully kept from the rest of us – Prosecutor Tunheim still endorsed John Snaza to be re-elected in November.

But the funny thing is about the truth – it has a way of coming out.

On October 12th – which was last Wednesday, and was just three business days before scheduled trial of Gillespie v Thurston County – an anonymous source told a friend of mine about the case.  And about the upcoming trial.

So before you Courthouse cronies start digging around to find out who told what to whom – after all these years, you know that I know some people who know some people who know some things.  And they know to call me.

And you also know that I don’t reveal my sources.  Ever.

So back to Wednesday October 12th, when I learned about the upcoming trial.  That the Courthouse had kept secret, for so long.

Less than three days wasn’t much time for me to prepare to cover John Snaza’s trial.  Especially since Steve and I were in a campground in the Rockies with sketchy internet and cell phone coverage.

The first thing I did was request permission from presiding Judge Carol Murphy’s office, to have someone photograph and videotape the trial, as shown below.

I also let Louis Gillespie’s attorneys know, as well.

I didn’t hear back that day, or for most of the next day.

So I called Judge Murphy’s office the next afternoon, and left an urgent message, asking again for a response.

It was now Thursday October 13th, and the trial was scheduled for Monday October 17th.  I needed permission, sooner than later.

Here is the email chain that followed.

My last communications with Judge Murphy’s assistant, Desirae Jones, was on the morning of Friday, October 14th.  The last business day before the trial, which was to have begun yesterday morning.

My last email was at 8:58 am, PDT, in response to the Desirae Jones’ email from 8:02 am.

I received no more emails.

Late that afternoon, I found out why.

I received a call from Louis Gillespie’s attorney.

At 9:00 that morning – within minutes of my last email exchange with Judge Murphy’s office – Sheriff Snaza’s defense attorney made a surprise oral motion to Judge Murphy, asking that the trial again be delayed.

No significant reason was given for the request to again delay the trial of Sheriff Snaza.

Of course, no significant reason was required.  The Thurston County Courthouse, after all, is one big happy family.  Snaza’s attorney had been picked by his friend and political supporter, Prosecutor Jon Tunheim.

That trial date had been fine with Snaza’s defense team – until I started nosing around and asking about videotaping it.

Since the trial had been a well kept secret, it was a good guess that they would be playing to an empty room.  Until now.

Louis Gillespie’s attorneys hadn’t been given any time to prepare an argument, saying the trial should proceed as planned.

Like the rights of John Snaza’s victim would have ever mattered.

Judge Carol Murphy granted Sheriff Snaza’s request to ditch the trial.  Naturally.

No future trial date was set.  Of course.

So Louis Gillespie’s five year ordeal will continue, with no end in sight.

Five long years –

Louis Gillespie isn’t just the victim of painful, debilitating injuries caused by Sheriff Snaza’s recklessness.

Based on the evidence and the law, he is also the victim of a crime by Sheriff Snaza.  A Class B felony.

At this point, Louis Gillespie has no reason to think that he will ever get justice in Thurston County – in either a criminal or civil courtroom.

The Courthouse elites keep insisting that nothing could be more important than the re-election of Sheriff John Snaza, three weeks from today.

But what happened to Louis Gillespie is far more important than friendships between corrupt cronies, always scratching each other’s back.  Louis Gillespie’s long, agonizing wait, courtesy of the courthouse elites, is so much more important.

It doesn’t matter whether Thurston County’s courthouse elites wear a uniform, a suit, or a robe.  They are all just politicians.  And they can all be replaced.

And they need to keep being replaced until all victims like Louis Gillespie get the justice they deserve.
