Glen Chase, a Professor of Systems Management, has released a second report identifying the CDFA LBAM eradication program as a fraud.

Professor Chase’s first report revealed the falsehoods the CDFA delivered after June 19 when courts and public pressure stopped the CDFA from aerial spraying synthetic pheromone based pesticides directly on cities. This second report reveals the fraud and misinformation delivered by the CDFA from the fall of 2007 until June 19, 2008.

“CDFA has demonstrated that they will lie, cheat and even sacrifice the lives of California’s children in order to steal $100’s of millions of emergency funds, set aside for real emergencies.”

“We are now into the third year after noticing the Light Brown Apple Moth in California and recognizing that LBAM has been living here about 30-50 years or more, while doing NO DAMAGE. The CDFA is getting more and more desperate to quickly implement fake emergency eradication methods, so they can access the emergency funds and pretend they are saving California by stopping the LBAM from doing damage. For emergency funding, it seems the CDFA would claim to save us from Lady Bugs, if we didn’t know better.”

The only real emergency is the CDFA. The CDFA is planning to expose children and adults to toxins by many methods and interfere with natural balances in nature in order that programs are ongoing that appear to be a legitimate eradication. CDFA is also threatening the existence of small farmers and nursery businesses by imposing quarantines on their products, without assisting them financially.

In July, Professor Chase called for an independent State investigation of the CDFA program asking that charges be brought against those who are guilty of violating the public trust and guilty of child endangerment by endangering children’s lives with toxins applied directly onto their bodies and into the air they must breath. “As more and more people and elected officials are learning the truth about LBAM and the CDFA, the likelihood grows that the participants in this eradication fraud at CDFA will pay for their crimes.”

The cover, alone, of Professor Chase’s report is well worth the download. The entire report is a quick read, and it offers the most relevant references and videos within each subject area for those who are interested in a deeper look into the world of LBAM and CDFA fraud.

Glen Chase is a Professor of Systems Management specializing in Environmental Economics and Statistics.

He has taught at multiple universities in the Central Coast area, including The Naval Post Graduate School, The Monterey Institute of International Studies and Cal State University, Monterey Bay. Glen is also a Management Consultant. Currently, Professor Chase develops management systems to assist organizations that cater to the improvement of life for children with disabilities.

Background Note: the area of Systems Management within Chase’s field involves management, communication and integration of complex and often highly specialized sciences. Systems Management was not generally recognized 100 years ago, when a single scientist could be a master of all areas related to his/her work. Today, it is essential.

Greetings Readers!

My complaint with most of the store-bought vegan cookies I’ve tried is that they are chewy and many have a weird aftertaste from unusual sweeteners being used. For me, maple sugar and maple syrup are the way to go with all sweet vegan baking. I like my cookies crisp, crumbly, rich and not too sweet. I like to use natural, whole foods ingredients that contribute to the subtle, good taste of my baked goods. This recipe bakes up a big batch of exquisitely flavored, lightly spiced cookies. You could make them spicier if you like your cookies fiery, and you can certainly try your own variations, but here is the basic recipe for these fabulous cookies.

Crumbly Vegan Spice Cookies

Ingredients:
1 C Organic Whole Almonds
2 C Organic Unbleached White Flour or Pastry Flour
1 Organic Orange (mandarins are ideal for this, but you can use another kind if necessary)
1/2 C Granulated Maple Sugar
1 tsp. Salt
2 Tbs. Organic Anise Seeds
1/2 tsp. Organic Powdered Ginger
1/4 tsp. Organic Ground Cloves
1/4 C Organic Olive Oil
1/8 C Organic Safflower or Sunflower Oil
1/8 C Rice or Soy Milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Grade rind from the orange and juice it, too.

Blend almonds in an electric blender to the consistency of a coarse flour-like powder. If you do not have a blender, use a mortar and pestle to accomplish this.

In a large mixing bowl, combine your almond flour with white flour, salt, maple sugar, spices. Wash your hands and use them to gently blend all the dry ingredients uniformly.

Add orange juice and grated rind, oils and milk.
Pull all ingredients together with a spoon, but don’t overmix. Use your hands to gather everything together into a big ball. If the ball is really sticky, sprinkle a little more flour over it and work it in with your hands. If the ball is too dry to gather up all the flour in the bowl, wet your hands with cool water under the faucet to help you stick everything together.

The dough will be slightly rough and just a little bit sticky. Put the bowl of dough in the freezer for 5 minutes and get out your baking sheets.

Form the dough into one inch balls. Set them on the baking sheet and smash flat with a fork, as you would peanut butter cookies. Put in the oven.

Every oven bakes at a different temperature. These cookies are baked when they have turned just a little brown around the edges and are golden in the middle. Remove and set to cool.

Special Notes on these Special Vegan Cookies

You will note that this recipe contains no baking powder or baking soda. I personally find these two leavening agents to be disruptive to the digestion, so I have invented vegan baking recipes that don’t require these products.

Something else to think about when making cookies is whether they have nutritional value. Both the almonds and olive oil in this recipe are very nutritious sources of protein and vitamins. These cookies are a better between meal snack for your family than the expensive and heavily processed energy bars that are everywhere on the market today. They are handmade, fresh and a simple, good snacking food.

As you will discover, the flavor of these cookies reaches its apex at about 2-3 days after baking. The different tastes have a chance to combine, mellow and ripen. Store them in a paper bag, a can or on a plate in the cupboard. They will stay good for at least a week

I truly advocate using mandarin oranges at the peak of winter ripeness for these cookies. The difference in the end result is huge. Combined with the anise seeds, the orange flavor is incredibly elegant, distinctive and memorable. This is not your average cookie!
