Hey Wal:

Thanks for the birthday greeting. You told Pat that Sam's a good guy and I just wrote Eggi that we could vouch for that since he saved us from freezing that weekend you were busy with your foxy AU girlfriend Suzie whom you also brought up when we saw 'Jesus Christ Superstar' on Broadway and ate and drank Mai Tais? Pina Coladas? at the Hawaii Kai afterwards. Hurry and get well so I can give you that call that I was putting off until resolution (one way or another) of my stuff. Having sued the government (deservingly), I'm not their favorite guy and I thought that might negatively impact you or your sons; they monitor everything and are very paranoid. The FBI agent I dealt with here got abruptly transferred to Washington and I have asked for a response one way or another since I'll have make a representation regarding same wherever I ultimately locate. A response in writing is their official policy. Enough of my excuses for not calling you anyway, regardless.

Pat's been a great friend to all in keeping the lines of communication to you open which is no small task for a popular good guy like you with so many caring friends. Looking forward to speaking with you dear friend,

Your Old Good Friend,

Albie

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

As I’ve already indicated to you, ‘That I like you should be obvious inasmuch as I would ignore you or would tell you so if I didn’t. I am totally apolitical as a matter of comity on facebook where while posting my website for exposure was ‘tagged’ by friends from high school I’ve known for in excess of 45 years; despite the fact that facebook (the company itself) appears to be overtly politically ‘pro-wobama’ .’ I also don’t do their ‘activities/games’, the one exception being when they were making a donation to charity (food or money, I don’t recall) for each response. My twitter account has never worked properly so I don’t bother with it. I don’t do text messaging although my cell phone/service supports it. If you were to tell me that by pressing the ‘like’ button, the subject referenced matters would then be resolved, of course I would press it; because I’m not foolish. You may note as regards your last newsletter’s subject matter, I included the following related story/link/comment on my web site:

Drudgereport: Judge Orders Illegal High School Valedictorian To Leave US … [ I have found Colombians to be very intelligent, civilized, decent and honorable people (despite attempts to paint them otherwise vis-à-vis the illegal cocaine ops which are really primarily of american instigation and utility. The more likely reason for this absurd result is that she forgot to pay the expected judicial bribe, one way or person or another. That said, keep in mind america’s a far cry from what it used to be in terms of reasons to want to stay here. ) ...

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

Thank you once again for thinking of me. That I like you should be obvious inasmuch as I would ignore you or would tell you so if I didn’t. I am totally apolitical as a matter of comity on facebook where while posting my website for exposure was ‘tagged’ by friends from high school I’ve known for in excess of 45 years; despite the fact that facebook (the company itself) appears to be politically ‘pro-wobama’. Youtube of nsa’s google fame censors and I don’t use youtube therefore. Yet, make no mistake; ultimately, for me, results count, even if they don’t in Washington and elsewhere throughout the nation, lamentably such as it is. As previously noted infra in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference.

Sincerely,

Al Peia

That's truly a great sacrifice by you and your late husband that few parents are able or even willing to make. You and your late husband have a lot to be proud of, and your daughters a lot to be thankful for; and, as your children I'm sure they are. My undergrad was paid, and bank and insurance companies I worked for by day reimbursed for my MBA at night. Law school evenings was more of a financial struggle since the pay at the law firm I worked by day was low and without reimbursement but invaluable in terms of what really is involved in practice; but I taught 1 or 2 courses eves at Bloomfield College to make up the difference. If the tuition was as expensive as now, I doubt I could have made up the difference that way.

Happy, healthy birthday to you and best wishes for many more to come! I truly and sincerely thank you for your kind thoughts and words for my old dear friend 'Wal'. I came to know you (just a few years ago) through our mutual friend, Steve Marcus. Steve always highly regarded you as a friend; not because you lived around the block from him, but because you were and are such a high quality person. We both know how bright Steve was; and indeed, how right he was in that respect!

Happy birthday Ellen!

The following two comments sum up my view on the subject. I would add that I really think facebook, the company, has become political, government centric (as has google, microsoft, etc.), and intrusive and hence, untrustworthy. Moreover, I truly and seriously think they are a bunch of ah*s. Indeed, their 'games' are pathetic and an insult to intelligence and typify the nerdy, neurotic persona of their founder(s) zuckerberg et als (I don't begrudge them their money but he is ‘painfully neurotic’ from what I’ve discerned); and, contrary to the spin, ****************** I initially signed up for website representation and was 'tagged' by some old friends from high school and even earlier without which I'd otherwise be inclined to delete my facebook account. If they were interested, they could sign up on the LATimes site, etc., themselves. This process of commenting is not brain surgery and for 'politically motivated' companies as facebook and the aforementioned, have the potential for a greater chilling effect on 1st amendment protected discourse. That facebook has become intrusively political is a testament to their 'hearing footsteps' of a fad of 'modern-day-hula-hoop' proportion; at the least, of 'also ran status' and hence, their entree into such arenas as this as the unavoidable but redundant 'middleman'. Publishers don't need them and should realize that. At most, it should be optional, which wasn't the case for some comments, despite my being signed in with the LATimes site, username, alpeia.

Frankly, i avoid commenting systems that use the Facebook model. I don't need my friends getting my comments on subjects they could care less about, or getting my comments that are diametrically opposed to their own particular viewpoints. We all have differing viewpoints on matters, and most of us know not to discuss those subjects with our friends that may (or are) rabid or reactionary.

So...when I post a comment regarding my leftist Kennedy Democrat leanings, I don't need it to be sent to one of my best friends who is a die hard Republican and former "operative" in Massachusetts politics. Similarly, I'm an agnostic while my brother is a born-again Baptist. Do I want him to get missives via Facebook every time I post somewhere regarding the lack of logic exhibited by the true believers?

We are all bombarded with information overload every day, taking up more and more of our time and brain bandwidth. I only want information that is relevant to me, and I'm sure my friends, family and business colleagues feel the same way.

Just think of the way the newspaper or LATimes website is structured: designed in sections so that the people interested in sports, food, politics etc. can access that info readily, without having to sift through and look at a bunch of extraneous info they could care less about.

Sad day for me!

We had to put down my great companion Nikki down today. Almost 12 years old Great Pyrennes (they were bred do guard sheep and protect them from bears and wolves). Truly a great dog who had a mind of her own and was loyal and I will really miss her. I have owned 3 great dogs in my life and all have lived to old age for a dog. It truly makes your heart feel sad when you finally have to say good-bye.

I hope my kids pull the plug on me so I don't suffer or are ever a burden to them.

Happy, healthy birthday to you and best wishes for many more to come! You may have noticed some news stories surrounding the earthquake damaged Washington Monument (or not … Washington Monument remains closed msnbc.com ) which brought to mind that long weekend excursion to D.C. you may recall (just a few years ago) upon Wal’s recommendation since AU was sporting an outdoor concert [‘Little Richard’(what’s up with that?) turned out to be the warm-up band to the featured band, ‘Procol Harem’] and there was to be a massive ‘protest / demonstration / camp-out’ at the monuments (and of course to hear ‘Forest Gump’s’ speech – just kidding). The (evening) concert in their amphitheater was cool and ‘stylishly late 60ish, early 70ish. It’s at this point that you’ll have to rely on my memory of the events immediately thereafter. As always, we were in search of babes of easy virtue (the free-lovin’ hippie girls were made to order for expedient, pseudo-hippies at best like us looking for a ‘proverbial roll in the hay’, euphemistically speaking). In fact, you shrewdly from a hawking perspective hooked up with a bunch of hippies at the concert and proceeded to get quite stoned while smoking what you assumed was just pot throughout. At the end of the concert, Wal gathered us up to head to the monuments where huge numbers were camped out for the ‘rallies’ the following day. When we finally found you, you were sitting with just a few of the bunch you were with, unable to speak, stand, or move at all. You seemed totally paralyzed. We asked them what they were smoking to which they replied, pot laced with ‘angel dust’ (pcp-I didn’t even know what it was). They assured us you’d be okay by morning. Finally, since Wal seemed to be in a rush to get to the ‘monuments’, we literally had to guide you by arm to the car and through the ‘monument campout grounds’ at a very brisk clip for reasons only Wal could explain, stopping to speak to no one [ You guys had mentioned that at Woodstock (I couldn’t get off work at Arcola Pool) Wal was a bit freaked by all the havoc and particularly the unsanitary conditions, even to the point he was refusing to check out the naked babes swimming openly without inhibition which you guys were really into, by your accounts. ] You were indeed fine by the next day, and we partied / got drunk and we wound up at ‘The Waff’. Wal was totally drunk, had a black water pistol (looked like a .38 cal) , and was squirting everyone. Suddenly, out jumped two plain clothes cops (I assume DC Police Detectives – FBI always announce / show their badges). Wal was so drunk he was still laughing and shooting the water pistol even as they slammed him up against the wall, guns drawn and pointed to his head; even as I was yelling at their over-reaction; and that it was a water pistol. As bad as that was, in today’s environment, we’d likely have been shot. (I think this was the same weekend as the concert).
Happy Birthday Eggi!

I could not sleep last night and went for a bike ride at 3:00 AM. No one on the road but made me think that we are getting a lot closer to the backstrech. And I used to think my parents were ancient.

Gary Wallen

ALSO FOR MY BASKETBALL CHALLENGE I WENT TO THE PARK TO SHOOT YESTERDAY. I PROBABLY HAVE NOT SHOT IN ABOUT 8 YEARS AND DID A FEW WARMUPS AND PROCEEDED TO MAKE 37 FREETHOWS IN A ROW. I THOUGHT THAT WAS PRETTY IMPREESIVE FOR A 61 OLD.

Gary Wallen

I had an interesting challange from a 33 year old guy at work who never even
played high school ball. He said he could kick my ass in hoops. I know I can
still shoot, because you never lose that and I now I can always post my fat ass
to the hoop. I wonder if i could still kick his butt a age 61. My guess is a
definite yes .GAME ON.

Gary Wallen

Gotback from the dentist with two new crowns for my front teeth from my bycyle accident. Amaszing what they do with modern technology. No more making molds, they can scan your teeth and you get a perfect match. Plus, I got great feedback from the 30ish hygentist that I am now good looking again...!!!! Jill is in San Diego visiting our son Jason and I wish I could be there.

Gary Wallen

I went for a bike ride, fell and broke two teeth. My dentist is on vacation this week. Probably the ugliest smile in history. Trying to let the trauma subside before I go to his back up. It sucks getting Old.

Gary Wallen

I have learned to appreciate life much better and try to enjoy every day now that I am only a year away from being eligible for Social Security. I still find that very hard to say! I feel like I'm turning into my father, which is really scary. Everybody enjoy each day as if it may be your last and don't let the little things in life bring you down.

Gary Wallen

To everybody who wished me a happy b-day, Thanks...!!! Where has the time gone? It feels like yesterday I was in HS playing sports, not 43 yrs ago. I still remember going to Woodstock, going Up-State, the Canteen dances, Jimmy Byrnes at the Jersey Shore, the Prom with Jill Baines and much more.

Hey Wal:

I could have made this more cruel (but our longstanding friendship, upon reflection, got in the way and I deleted some) ***************. To save you from yourself and from becoming a facebook / internet bully, I write (and I'm smilin' as I do so) as follows:

Wal, I'm surprised and take umbrage at your insensitive remarks and on behalf of short people everywhere, I write in response to your observation immediately hereafter: '12-17-10 Gary Wallen Chalk it up to cold Darwinism, cultural standards, or the simple feminine desire to have a man around who can reach the top shelf, but just about every stature study in the last 20 years confirms what short guys already know: women prefer taller men.[ Wal, I believe this to be among the greatest insights into 'short people' since randy newman's hit song of the same name.] ...It's nice to be 6''5". I didn't know the average height for a man in the USA is only 5'9".' [***** And, I'm sure that 'great stature thing' was what the dinosaurs were sayin' just before ..... then there were the archaic modern human antecessors ..... I think we should ask the Chinese, Japanese, etc., what they think ... my own (different female sexual partner) liasons numbering in the mid hundreds (no exaggeration - and I can truthfully say that every girl among them I truly liked) probably meant, fortunately for me, said girls had not read your surveys ... The only direct experience (hardly a random sampling for statisticalvalidity) concerned that attractive 'Ridgewood girl' in the convertible with a mini-skirt that left little to the imagination who chose a short guy (me at 5'6" over that 3 varsity letter man you kept reminding her - I won't mention your dangling, by a string of saliva, throat lozenge that landed on her lap which I'm sure helped 'seal the deal') over that big guy (you at 6'5") ... Then there's Napoleon, Putin, Jefferson, Washington, etc.. There's also danger (liasons dangereux) as Julian Assange can attest to and I also experienced in light of my RICO litigation on my 'road to interim / temporary sacrificial celibacy', which has been great for my concentration ... It's brain size / capacity, short and simple, in the new century particularly, as it always was! ( About 23 million years ago hominoids appeared in the form of primative apes. It was from one of said primative apes that the family of man, Hominidae branched off 6 to 5 million years ago. The bigger brain and consequent ability to manipulate environment were the key to evolutionary success. The Darwinian model of a steady, gradual 'fine-tuning' of natural selection has been totally disavowed by all experts in favor of the view that natural selection is a conservative force, acting rather relatively quickly, to maintain a species adaptation. )

Finally, Wal, you may remember the first time we had gotten stoned. I was living in Seacrest Beach (summer, 1970) and you came down for the week. Two girls I had previously met on the beach apparently scored some pot (and probably needed a place to smoke it) stopped by; and we smoked some (I snitched a little which we were to continue smoking later.) Truth be told, in what was probably the only instance where being short was of a distinct advantage, I was paired with the smaller (about 5'4"), very cute and pretty blonde cheerleader from Parsippany, while you got the near 6' but also attractive friend. The pretty blonde and I retreated to my bedroom. Unfortunately for you, the tall girl you were with was bitchy and witchy (you may recall she was a self-proclaimed witch who had also dubbed me, 'Alday'. Our attitude concerning such personality quirks was one that comported with our rather shallow, jockish, but very expedient mindset with girls; viz., as long as they were attractive and 'put out', just fine ... or as they say here (in southern California) in the valley, 'whatever'). When they left, we smoked what was left of the pot, and you immediately began cooking up food (munchies) and as I watched you, you appeared to be moving in a very jerky but slow motion fashion (like a slow motion, 15 fps old silent film) to which I called your attention more than once also attributing same to your being stoned ... Finally, you abruptly stated that it was I who was stoned which I hadn't realized up to that point but suddenly realized was true. But it was also true that we were both stoned. ] ... JUST FUNNIN' WITH YOU, WAL! Regards, Al

----- As I previously related to Charlie Crane regarding that '21 questions thing' on facebook, and in light of your prior inquiries: The following is what I'm waiting on (note the disks sent twice to the FBI were waylaid by the u.s. postal service and finally delivered by UPS, causing delays). Hey Charlie! Thank you for your vote of confidence and kind remarks. I think you're correct on all counts. The last I heard (1992) you were doing extremely well (I think running a new car dealership and making loads of money, etc.). I remember in 7th grade you kept the class in stitches with your spontaneous, often hilarious humor, and in high school you were very prominent and tough on the football field. However, you did err regarding a girl (initials B.R.) in our 7th grade class who while wearing tea shirts then (you reminded her), wound up by high school having among the biggest pairs of t***s in the school.

The following is what I'm waiting on (note the disks sent twice to the FBI were waylaid by the u.s. postal service and finally delivered by UPS, causing delays). Regards, Al

Dear Sir:

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar). The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages) [ ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf ].

Thank you for the birthday wish, and though somewhat remiss in such things as this I'll make sure I don't miss yours. It's springtime and 'back when' as now, the same meant spring break. In discussing spring break with the instructor at the LATTC workout facility where I worked out, I told him the story you may recall of our spring break excursion to Fort Lauderdale / Daytona ('Where the Girls Are'). I also told him that you guys would never let me live this down ... but that I deserved not being able to live this down ... he couldn't stop laughing. Though set up by Steve with a great pad, viz., Harvey's plush apartment, we were not able to get any babes back to said pad. Indeed, the prevalence of 'sopers(sic)'(muscle relaxants/downs) made Steve's apartment, despite early unbridled enthusiasm including 'air guitars' to 'Gimme Shelter', look like the sight of a bomb blast with bodies strewn about, having 'fallen out' (except for that one 'curious' guy whom we'd invariably find struggling to stay awake and not 'fall out'), when we returned from our (unsuccessful) hawking rounds on the strip. We found this quite amusing and stuck to our 'smoke/boone's farm apple wine' regimen. We then went to Daytona where we met 3 attractive girls whose hardluck story was that despite having rented for the week, the landlord of the motel said they were to leave (in favor of some guys who had probably paid him extra). In what I described to some as 'my first legal case', I felt this to be wrong (I had business law and at the least this was breach of contract) and threatened to go to authorities / mayor's office to register a complaint. He relented, and the girls kept their room and came back to ours. We smoked hashish and we all got totally stoned. The truth is I was so stoned, I couldn't make up my mind which girl to go after and was as you aptly put it, 'floatin''. Daytona / floater, you guys rightfully got on my case for that one. I'll never live that down.

Hello Ellen:

Thank you for the second year in a row for the birthday wish, and though somewhat remiss in such things as this I'll make sure I don't miss yours. You may recall (just a few years ago) at Steve Marcus' Bar Mitzvah at B'Nai Birth (?) how I walked into the chapel sans yarmilke and shawl and got a few looks. Your Dad interupted his duties to attend to my 'lapse in protocol' and escorted me to a separate room and supplied with same. He seemed amused by it all which I thought was very cool; and, I thought to myself what an nice, intelligent, and balanced man he was.[ In today's environment, such as it is, I would probably have been accused of anti-semitism and taken out back and shot ... just kidding! (such an accusation would have been ridiculous then as now). ]

Regards,

Doug:

Thank you for the second year in a row for the birthday wish, and though somewhat remiss in such things as this I'll make sure I don't miss yours. I could not help but notice your eclectic taste in and knowledge of such a wide variety of music. I've pretty simple musical taste (classic rock - ie., Beatles, Stones, Doors, Yes, Grand Funk, jefferson Starship, Supertramp, Creedence, Fleetwood Mac, etc.), some pop (ie., Cats, etc.), and of course, classical. I did see a reference to roller skating and you may recall our 'wild sessions' of same at the Church gym. I must say that to this day I'm somewhat ashamed of our youthful indiscretion / bad judgment in subtly mocking 'little hooky'.

Thank you for the second year in a row for the birthday wish, and though somewhat remiss in such things as this I'll make sure I don't miss yours. Sorry to hear of your medical difficulties and my best wishes for speedy recovery. As for your jersey government complaints, I've found mob-infested jersey to be totally hopeless [ You might find this link interesting re: same http://www.albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf (I'm waiting on the FBI whose position will determine mine) - plus, as pertains to the political scenario including the mob, sean hannity lives in jersey, so what can you expect. ] .

I include the following which in the process of updating / completing my skills / knowledge base were part of exercises therein (also on my website):

I support the police 100% for good reason and previously wrote: CITY ON EDGE: Cash-Strapped Newark, new jersey Forced To Lay Off 14% Of Police Force... [ From decades old (1978-1985) direct personal experience with newark, n.j., the police are the absolute last cuts that can be afforded to be made. Indeed, while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a “park” - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA’s position with both felonies ( he went to prison – pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of ‘bystander effect’ / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal went to jail. The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so). (Other newark / new jersey and new york, n.y. metro, viz., ie., connecticut, and of course, d.c., d.c. metro, viz., ie., virginia experience … corrupt federal judges as maryanne trump barry, sam alito, shiff, matz (california), hall, underhill, dorsey, etc.. Defacto bankrupt america’s so-called system is pervasively corrupt and broken (AP) Abolish the corrupt, costly, economically wasteful lifetime extravagantly appointed federal courts - see RICO case http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf

Happy, healthy new year to you and your family. My changed number was to 'magic jack' (I recommend it) since my att/sbc (jersey / bushland) phone line became unusable, affecting my dsl line which I dropped in favor of Time Warner Cable / Internet. I last spoke with the FBI in January, 2011, who informed me that 'they printed out the documents on the disks', which is, in their somewhat cryptic way of saying, a good thing. Their position will determine mine. I'll let you know when I do.

FACEBOOK RESPONSE:

Bob: I'm 100% behind law enforcement in their ever more increasingly difficult task of law enforcement, in this ever more lawless nation, particularly in meaningfully lawless new jersey. Unfortunately, when I went to vote, I was asked to grant facebook broad 'authority' which as a matter of internet policy (to prevent a multitude of problems, hacking, etc.) I don't do (facebook's very politicized in a pro-wobama way and hooked into those goldman frauds et als, on fraudulent wall street). Since wobama people do it, you can put in an extra vote on my behalf. I'm currently stonewalled awaiting a formal reply from the fbi inasmuch as I must account for my time wherever I ultimately locate. Below is some recent posted commentary and a response to Congresswoman Roybal-Allard as per her request (I did not receive a reply from Sen. Feinstein regarding the aforesaid matters). Hope you and your family are well.

Regards,

Al

Dianne Feinstein: No need to debate Republican opponent... { Riiiight! Things are going so swimmingly (as in drowning) for the nation and california particularly. Actually, I responded to a ‘generic’ email / facebook request from her with my subsequent request that she help to elicit a formal response from the FBI as promised regarding the RICO matters (the other incompetent, failed perrenial senator barbara boxer actually had ‘made her presence known’ in the corrupted process regarding usdcj matz/lester and the default of the u.s. which missed the filing date which error was compounded by the misstatement of the rule in court on the record by asst. us attorney robert i. lester); but, no response... http://albertpeia.com/selfdefense.htm [ One thing is certain from my own direct experience { The unfortunate reality is what I’ve alluded to in the context of my own direct experience; viz., america’s ‘legal system’ is an illegal system used to cover-up crimes, arbitrarily enforce laws to apply pressure, etc., and essentially run by the inmates of this collective criminal entity called america:http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf
http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm } ; despite enormous amounts of taxpayer money poured into the ‘federal system’, there’s relatively/proportionately very little real significant results (an example would be the brutalizing of Martha Stewart over a $45 thousand transaction while wall street frauds in the trillions by the biggest players have gone unprosecuted). I believe reasonable diligence requires self-reliance more than ever before in this nation’s history; particularly when political correctness in some states prevents calling a spade a spade to the substantial detriment of law enforcement! ]

11-5-11 Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. 43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago; and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.” This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world ] ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons. Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever. [ website archived links http://albertpeia.com/uscocainedistributionfiles.htm

If that seems too radical an idea, consider that ECUADOR is now the only nation which stands to defend freedom and human rights against an assault from the United States, the United Kingdom, and their spineless allies. The west has just become a giant banana republic. Have you hit your breaking point yet? If not now… when? { { I’m really constrained to interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so lamentably. If you want no real results vis-à-vis organized crime which now extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told, they never ask the ‘tough’ questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest wall street frauds, cia connected illegal ‘drug ops’ (ops…riiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff, alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a $45,000 transaction. Wow! You can’t make this stuff up. I also don’t believe their (understated) crime stats for even a second. I’m beginning to feel foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the ‘federal (judicial) system’ who share the ‘same employer’; and, despite my antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared ‘more fairly’ with the mobsters directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both, infra: Debauchery: An American specialty In the land of Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low hanging fruit. She’s totally harmless. Jersey ‘italian’ snooki?

Review of flawed forensics held close to vest EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of flaws in cases. ‘Simply unconscionable’ (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this. I’m awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm ) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s. government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. government’s direct involvement in the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case, wherein I had said that rudy giuliani’s father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob (served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual vis-à-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard. I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agent’s departure who somewhat plaintively (‘my call being a burden’) told me that ‘he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari’, which he didn’t explain further. Could anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jersey’s FBI office, I was ‘greeted’ by an FBI Agent who sarcastically asked me whether I was ‘going to the disco that night’ (the documents including sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alito’s office in the same building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf . We all can infer sam alito’s reward / quid pro quo for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme court. There was never a question as to maryanne trump barry’s interest in corrupting the judicial process as related to her brother’s (trump) casinos. Jersey city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klayman as the most corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly holder’s impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug) money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvd’s sent to the LA FBI office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws, coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable inference. I’m currently being ‘stonewalled’ by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI Agent Bill Lewis.

Steven M. Martinez, Assistant Director In Charge
Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ
11000 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1700
Los Angeles, CA 90024

Dear Sir:

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages) [ ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf ].

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as fbicorrespondencereyes.htm . With regard to the calls to the FBI’s LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did – he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? – and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation – Andrew Maloney’s the one that prosecuted gotti).

Al Peia

‎(cont’d)
In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

1. A judgment had been entered in my favor in the case, United States District Court Case #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for and which could be used for payment to creditors, Los Angeles, etc..
2. Counsel Robert Sullivan on my behalf documented by way of certification upon investigation that Alan Shiff, USBCJ, had falsely stated a dismissal upon which false statement he predicated a retaliatory and spurious contempt proceeding against me causing substantial damage, and for which he sought Judicial Notice of those and related proceedings as did I in some of my filings.
3. The Order of Dismissal With Prejudice by Alan Shiff, USBCJ, owing to Defendant Coan’s failure to file anything whatsoever by the court’s deadline causing creditors and me substantial damages: [ Shiff Order of Dismissal With Prejudice on Coan’s Failure to File Page 1 Page 2 ]
4. Defendant Coan had filed an action against me to prevent me from suing him which necessitated me to fly to Connecticut for a hearing before The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District of Connecticut, who denied Coan’s requested relief as to Coan but precluded my action against Shiff (although there is no immunity, judicial or otherwise, for criminal acts, ie., fraud connected with a case under Title 11, USC, etc.) . [ transcript in pertinent part - crossexamofcoanbypeia.pdf ]
5. Newly appointed judge, Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump’s sister, was assigned the RICO case despite the conflict of interest in light of hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal (drug) money being laundered through the Trump casinos by the RICO defendants, and despite my motion to recuse her which motion she heard herself and denied, and U.S. Trustee Hugh Leonard with whom I met personally refused to join or file a separate motion to recuse and not long thereafter left said office for private practice at Cole, Shotz, et als on retainer with the RICO defendants as his primary client.
6. Probative and evidentiary documents, affidavits, exhibits, including those turned over to FBI Agent Jeff Hayes in Long Beach, CA, had been given to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lacey with whom I met personally at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, N.J., at which time Samuel Alito was U.S. Attorney, and went over said documents and their probative value with him. Within approximately a month thereafter upon inquiry I was told that Jonathon Lacey was no longer with the office, that the file/documents could not be located, and that there was no further information available concerning contacting him or his location. I thereupon delivered by hand, copies of said documents to the office of then U.S. Attorney Alito, addressed to him, with assurance they would go directly to him. In addition to being inept [ I looked in on the one mob case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known / previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt Alito brought in all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first) who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans during testimony and had the jury in stitches. As much as I hate the mob, it truly was funny, if not so tragic.], Alito is also corrupt (and maybe corrupt because he is inept). After a reasonable (but still rather short) time I called to determine the status and was told that Alito was no longer with the Office of the U.S. Attorney, that he was (appointed) a federal judge, and that neither the documents nor any file or record of same could be located. Alito did parley the same / cover-up into quid pro quo direct lifetime appointment to the Court of Appeals, 3rd circuit, despite the absence of judicial experience or successful tenure as U.S. Attorney (Maryanne Trump Barry as well). This is the same Sam Alito that now sits on the purported highest court in the land. The real application of the illegal rule ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

Sincerely,

Hi Lorraine:
Thanks for the tip. I could always use some weight loss; but, frankly, when I so choose I use the 'old wrestling diet' of not eating. You look healthy. I remember in first grade, we used to compare lunches in our 'little lunch boxes' (do they still use them?) and you gave a thumbs up to my least favorite lunch 'cheese sandwich', saying your grandfather told you that cheese was good for your teeth, which made my subsequent least favorite lunches more palatable. Wal (Gary Wallen) has always been a cheese aficionado, so much so that he earned the nickname 'cheese' / 'cheeseburger' at American U. where we used to visit Wal on a very fun campus. (I can attest to Wal's affinity for same from our 'shoretime party days' and when we worked together at Arcola Pool).

Happy healthy new year to you and your family. Thanks for your kind offer and I would extend the same courtesy out of friendship to you if the matter resolves, which at this juncture is in the hands of the local Congresswoman (I received an email from her, concurrent with some purported FBI correspondence), the Honorable Lucille Roybal-Allard (which also means I would make a commitment to her district, including marrying an Hispanic girl on favorable resolution- She's on the Homeland Security Subcommittee and is Whip, Congressional Hispanic Caucus) and the FBI and DOJ to whom I recently had to sign/give broad consent to 'check me out' again, despite having dealt with the FBI throughout this entire, sordid, particularly for the government, affair. Interestingly, the former FBI Director Louis Freeh with whom I dealt, who unfortunately had jersey boy roots, had cashed out, left the FBI, and now has Italian Citizenship, etc.). The proximity to San Diego would facilitate your seeing your son (I assume he's Navy) but it would be impolitic to discuss such now since I did, appropriately, sue the government which did not win me friends nor influence people therein but rather I suspect got me on one of their "lists" owing to their infinite state of paranoia (I say with no exaggeration that the rest of the nation's citizens have been screwed more thoroughly by the incompetent, corrupt elements in the government as well). I know I don't have to tell you what you already know, that you'll always be one of my best friends.

Thank you for your gracious and overly humble comment. Over time, such things become less and less important and I can't say that I actually recall that, per se.

the J.V. coach), which sport I enjoyed; and in a meeting arranged by Dan Deluca (I had won a tournament in junior high and the match against the rival Thomas Jefferson Junior High) with Coach Szura wherein Szura nicely but candidly told me that although I had made the team, "that I wasn't the tallest of angels" (which I thought was very funny and we all laughed) and essentially I'd be warming the bench while Deluca guaranteed me a varsity letter for wrestling the easy matches since varsity wrestler Richard Zocco was having difficulty making weight (he never made weight). As trite and cliched as it sounds, it was the varsity letter guarantee
that sealed the deal (and in my mind, the prospective "help with the babes therefrom" - actually, it was only the pretty sophomores with whom it ultimately paid dividends so to speak - how very high school). I had a great Coach in Roger Saunders who recruited me to NYU (Roger and his brother Richard, a CIA agent/mechanic, were both national champions).

Hi Al,

I know of you from my old wrestling coach, Ron Pollack. I know that you wrestled at NYU, and that you won the Met Championships. I am writing a book about my own experiences in wrestling, judo, and ju jitsu. I wrestled in the Met championships in 1984 when they were held at NYU, and I remember seeing an old newspaper article they had on display that talked about you winning the Mets in '72 or '73. You beat Pollack in the finals. Pollack's coach was quoted in the article as saying that Ron "gassed out", I'm assuming from nerves. I am really interested in the phenomenon of "choking" in a sports event due to being nervous. I was wondering if you had any memories you could share about this particular match? I know it was a long time ago, but if you do remember anything I would appreciate whatever you could share.

Hello Ethan:

The mother of one of our team mates worked with Ron Pollack's dad who kept telling her how badly Ron Pollack was going to beat me (some others played him up saying he consistently beat his team mate stu pruzansky by substantial margins and other such things). In fact, he took an early lead with a take-down that he was quite good at and I was looking for (something between a firemans' carry and a barrel role)[1972]. However, by the end of the match, he was quite haggard, in tears, and I actually had to hold him up on the podium. My tougher match was the semi's where I met two-time defending Met Champion Ed Rufrano (he got a special trophy for scoring the most team points over a period of time). He was quite strong and although I won, I had slipped a cervical disk (for which I ultimately needed traction - I couldn't even do a push-up after a couple of days which is very humbling when one relies so much on will-power). I had also beaten Ron in the finals of the Freshman Met Tournament. I was injured by the end of the season in the two prior intervening years (interestingly, the neurologist for the herniated disk pointed out that my bones were relatively small compared to my musculature/body-mass). I was fortunate to have a great coach in Roger Saunders (Roger and his brother Richard, a former CIA Agent/Mechanic, were both National Champions). I couldn't imagine Roger saying one of his wrestlers "gassed out", even if true. Ron certainly didn't "choke" in the first period, if at all.

I really appreciate your insights about this. I never got a chance to speak to Ron about his own college wrestling days. I only knew him when I was in high school, where he was coaching a bunch of local high school wrestlers on a part time basis. He was also helping out at his alma mater
(?FDU) assisting a guy he used to refer to as "Metz" or "Metzy". By then he was a fairly un-assuming guy and never even told me that he had taken a 2nd at the Mets when he was in college. By the time I went off to NYU Ron had left town to go to chiropractic school, and I don't think we ever saw each other again.

I now remember what struck me so much about that article that was posted at NYU. It was accompanied by a picture of three guys on the podium. You were holding Ron up and he was crying. It's really a classic picture, even more so because unless you know the "back" story you can only imagine what is going on in the wrestler's heads at the moment the shot was taken. I saw this picture once about 25 years ago and it still sticks in my head. I was wondering if you could clarify: I am assuming your coach was named Saunders. He wasn't the one who spoke of gassing out. Like I said above, I thought Ron was coached at FDU by a guy he used to refer to as "Metz". It was either Ron's coach (whoever he might have been) or perhaps Ron himself that stated in the article that Ron had "gassed out". I also remember now that there was some suggestion that he had come down with a flu, which might explain his reaching a state of exhaustion by the end of the match. Or perhaps you just kicked his ass in in the last 2 periods.

Speaking of Stu Pruzanski, I never met him , but I knew his brother Dave a bit. Dave owned a gym in the early '80's and our Judo club used to work out there for a while. This was another guy who never really told you much about himself. I only found out years later that he once wrestled Gable to a tie. He was also the only guy to ever win US National championships in Judo, wrestling, and Sombo, all in the same year. (?1972). Years later, maybe 1985 or so, he decided to make a comeback in Judo. He cut a shit load of weight and ended up fighting me in the finals of a small regional tournament. I beat him by decision, but really got no satisfaction out of beating a guy who was so out of shape. Can't remember if this was before or after one of his kids committed suicide.

Roger Saunders was my coach at NYU and clearly, a great one at that, who subsequently went to Bloomsburg where he was ultimately Athletic Director on last info. Bob Metz had quite a few winning teams at FDU, but he was not Saunders whose brother's wrestling success I alluded to so as to emphasize his wrestling prowess as no fluke. The last I heard of Dave Pruzansky he was diving out of a window of his house to evade police who had busted his drug-dealing operation. As a wrestler he was no joke and you did well to beat him and are too modest. I included reference to pruzansky because they developed a very curious, bizarre, and almost gang-like mentality within their "wrestling click". Upon information, many (if not all) of their clique "amped up" on amphetamines before their matches. Very close to their clique was the very weird and corrupt ref spike israel. The very quiffy spike israel had a "little buddy" jim fiore and had recruited David and his little buddy (among others) to Temple University to which he had some connection, and actually attempted to recruit me to same. I didn't take him seriously; firstly, because he told everyone he had been a state champ (bull s**t); secondly, because he had screwed me in a high school match wherein I had pinned leonard pruzanzky in the first period (I had him on his back almost the entire first period and israel gave me no back points, 2 or 3 for near fall, let alone the pin, and just the takedown and I lost by a point on riding time-leg ride). In an open tournament (I think Stroudsburg?), I was looking at the seedings/pairings/chart and David came up behind me pointed to my entry and said to the guy he was with that I had beaten his brother leonard. Roger required our team during one Christmas break to compete in my first and only free-style tournament. I was up two weight classes and David won quite handily. That was the third time I had beaten Ron and frankly, I did grind him into the mat and kick his ass for the late balance of the first period and the remainder of the match.

The following is a reply on facebook to someone who said I beat him in wrestle-off and

completes my wrestling story.

Good luck to you in all your endeavors.

Truly, thanks for all your info. Interesting that you should mention Spike Israel. I am assuming that the word "quiffy" is code for "gay". Spike was coach at Tenafly High when I was in high school, and was known to "like boys". Apparently he taught the Tenafly guys only one move, the Granby roll, which they were all quite good at, but very little else. Besides Ron in the early '70's and Steve and Dave Yale in the later '70's Tenafly basically had no decent wrestlers during that period. Not really sure if this was a coaching issue or recruiting issue. Our high school (DMHS in Englewood) had former state champ Bob Hurley (Bergenfield) as our assistant coach and former state runner up Reggie Williams (Hackensack) as head coach, and we also fielded very few good wrestlers during those years.

Al Peia Hello Ellen:

Thank you for the second year in a row for the birthday wish, and though somewhat remiss in such things as this I'll make sure I don't miss yours. You may recall (just a few years ago) at Steve Marcus' Bar Mitzvah at B'Nai Birth (?) how I walked into the chapel sans yarmilke and shawl and got a few looks. Your Dad interupted his duties to attend to my 'lapse in protocol' and escorted me to a separate room and supplied with same. He seemed amused by it all which I thought was very cool; and, I thought to myself what an nice, intelligent, and balanced man he was.[ In today's environment, such as it is, I would probably have been accused of anti-semitism and taken out back and shot ... just kidding! (such an accusation would have been ridiculous then as now). ]

I hope we're referring to the same German teacher that taught at Fair Lawn High, in the classroom across from my social studies class with that prejudiced zionist hebrew bichler (My yearbooks were among the items stolen in jersey). He was husky, bald and had congratulated me subsequent to my upsetting defending Regional Champion harvey gold in the District Tournament Finals. He took out some of his competition photos including high-bar gymnastics which sport always amazed me inasmuch that was an inherited trait of ancient primates that never manifested in me, nor did I even think of trying. He also praised the sport of wrestling because you
use every muscle in your body, which is true. I like Russia (and what's not to like about Russian girls), but not when they were the Soviet Union and I was very happy when Latvia got it's independence which made me think of Eggi, and particularly Eggi's dad who was extremely intelligent, cultured, and talented. Wal took Russian, I took French; but I have no facility with languages (including computer programming languages) other than what I initially learned and some code (html, etc.). I think I should invest in one of those elctronic translators. I work out at LATTC's gym/workout center. It is unlikely that I will ever set foot in the state of jersey again since I have more well connected (mob, etc.) enemies there than I care to think of.

Ø Albie, I thought there was only one German teacher....... I really did not know what an athlete he was. He must have loved our school though. We had the best athletic program!
I don't know if you remember Lew Detmering or not. I have know him since I was taller than he was. I was three and he was two. He was my neighbor. He told me about a year ago he went to a basketball game in Texas and who was the coach??? Hubie. He started singing in the stands when it got a little quiet. "Our strong bands can nare be broken..........., you know the rest of the alma mater....... Well Hubie turned around and started laughing. Lew's daughters nearly flipped because they thought their Dad was full of it saying he knew Hubie.
We had some crew in our school. I feel sorry for the kids where I live. I work for the Dept of Juvenile Justice in FL and the kids here have no sense of community or family for that matter. The state has become the parents... Sad.

Lee Bailey conceded Williams talent?greatness, though Williams was more than just a lawyer, when lawyers were lawyers and not liars as today) on behalf of a client (Williams' firm represented the publisher - not The Washington Post for which I have high regard concerning their respect for the first amendment- and I was there concerning the contractually retained right of review and effectively, revision). It was there that I experienced the most astounding legal experience to date; viz., a word processor/typist who was able to type (not
short hand/stenography) at speeds exceeding what you could read off a written page or even think for that matter, and with complete accuracy. I am amazed by anyone who types nearly as fast, which talent eludes me compounded by my antipathy for same despite having to do same quite a bit. It's not that I'm without manual dexterity (with a year's worth of lessons I could play the piano, albeit somewhat perfunctorily - my piano was among the items stolen in jersey).

Thank you for the second year in a row for the birthday wish, and though somewhat remiss in such things as this I'll make sure I don't miss yours. Sorry to hear of your medical difficulties and my best wishes for speedy recovery. As for your jersey government complaints, I've found mob-infested jersey to be totally hopeless [ You might find this link interesting re: same http://www.albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf (I'm waiting
on the FBI whose position will determine mine) - plus, as pertains to the political scenario including the mob, sean hannity lives in jersey, so what can you expect. ] .I include the following which in the process of updating / completing my skills / knowledge base were part of exercises therein (also on my website):

I support the police 100% for good reason and previously wrote: CITY ON EDGE: Cash-Strapped

Newark, new jersey Forced To Lay Off 14% Of Police Force... [ From decades old (1978-1985)

direct personal experience with newark, n.j., the police are the absolute last cuts that can be afforded to be made. Indeed, while walking through Military Park (a sliver of a “park” - more a pedestrian thoroughfare/cement walks) in newark, new jersey on the way to the bank during lunch hour, I heard the clearly audible screams/cries of what turned out to be an old lady on the ground with blood streaming from her mouth. I ran toward the sound of the cries, the source of which I could not see because there were so many people in and about this thoroughfare so as to block any vision of the source of the cries. When I came to the woman, on the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, I asked what happened, to which she responded she had been hit in the mouth and knocked to the ground, her purse stolen/put inside her shopping bag, and she pointed out the criminal casually now walking across the main street. Nobody stopped to help her, many having passed her by. I slammed the thug to the ground so hard that, in light of all the blood and confusion (limbic system / adrenalin flow) I thought I had been stabbed (the blood was from his elbows hitting the pavement so hard - no one helped / a crowd gathered / an undercover cop happened along). When I testified at the Grand Jury Proceeding I made sure his threat on my life was set forth in prima facie fashion so as to maximize the DA’s position with both felonies ( he went to prison – pled out ). The other case I wrote about here ( This was included on my website in the Psychology forum discussion of ‘bystander effect’ / diffusion of responsibility. ) - Having had occasion to have run down a mugger in newark, n.j. who apparently had followed a girl from the bank on her way to the bursar to pay tuition, though in pretty good shape, I was astounded by how totally exhausting such a pursuit was, how much like rubber my arms were when I traded punches with the perpetrator, and truth be told, if I had a flashlight on my belt, I have little doubt that I would have probably used it to subdue the perp (a police officer here in California was the object of intense criticism for having used a flashlight to subdue a criminal after a long chase so I included that here) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal went to jail. The other thing about such a pursuit that amazed me was that no one else assisted the girl or me despite being in a position to do so). (Other newark / new jersey and new york, n.y. metro, viz., ie., connecticut, and of course, d.c., d.c. metro, viz., ie., virginia experience … corrupt federal judges as maryanne trump barry, sam alito, shiff, matz (california), hall, underhill, dorsey, etc..

I wrestled in the Met champioships in 1984 when they were held at NYU, and I remember seeing an old newspaper article they had on display that talked about you winning the Mets in '72 or '73. You beat Pollack in the finals. Pollack's coach was quoted in the article as saying that Ron "gassed out", I'm assuming from nerves. I am really interested in the phenomenon of "choking" in a sports event due to being nervous. I was wondering if you had any memories you could share about this particular match?

In fact, he took an early lead with a take-down that he was quite good at and I was looking for (something between a firemans' carry and a barrel role)[1972]. However, by the end of the match, he was quite haggard, in tears, and I actually had to hold him up on the podium. My tougher match was the semi's where I met two-time defending Met Champion Ed Rufrano (he got a special trophy for scoring the most team points over a period of time). He was quite strong and although I won, I had slipped a cervical disk (for which I ultimately needed traction - I couldn't even do a push-up after a couple of days which is very humbling when one relies so much on will-power). I had also beaten Ron in the finals of the Freshman Met Tournament. I was injured by the end of the season in the two prior intervening years (interestingly, the neurologist for the herniated disk pointed out that my bones were relatively small compared to my musculature/body-mass). I was fortunate to have a great coach in Roger Saunders (Roger and his brother Richard, a former CIA Agent/Mechanic, were both National Champions). I couldn't imagine Roger saying one of his wrestlers "gassed out", even if true. Ron certainly didn't "choke" in the first period, if at all. Regards, Al Peia ______ From: ethan lichtblau <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Your NYU Wrestling Experience To: "Al Peia" <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, November 19, 2009, 2:07 PM I really appreciate your insights about this. I never got a chance to speak to Ron about his own college wrestling days. I only knew him when I was in high school, where he was coaching a bunch of local high school wrestlers on a part time basis. He was also helping out at his alma mater (?FDU) assisting a guy he used to refer to as "Metz" or "Metzy". By then he was a fairly un-assuming guy and never even told me that he had taken a 2nd at the Mets when he was in college. By the time I went off to NYU Ron had left town to go to chiropractic school, and I don't think we ever saw each other again. I now remember what struck me so much about that article that was posted at NYU. It was accompanied by a picture of three guys on the podium. You were holding Ron up and he was crying. It's really a classic picture, even more so because unless you know the "back" story you can only imagine what is going on in the wrestler's heads at the moment the shot was taken. I saw this picture once about 25 years ago and it still sticks in my head. I was wondering if you could clarify: I am assuming your coach was named Saunders. He wasn't the one who spoke of gassing out. Like I said above, I thought Ron was coached at FDU by a guy he used to refer to as "Metz". It was either Ron's coach (whoever he might have been) or perhaps Ron himself that stated in the article that Ron had "gassed out". I also remember now that there was some suggestion that he had come down with a flu, which might explain his reaching a state of exhaustion by the end of the match. Or perhaps you just kicked his ass in in the last 2 periods. Speaking of Stu Pruzanski, I never met him , but I knew his brother Dave a bit. Dave owned a gym in the early '80's and our Judo club used to work out there for a while. This was another guy who never really told you much about himself. I only found out years later that he once wrestled Gable to a tie. He was also the only guy to ever win US National championships in Judo, wrestling, and Sombo, all in the same year. (?1972). Years later, maybe 1985 or so, he decided to make a comeback in Judo. He cut a shit load of weight and ended up fighting me in the finals of a small regional tournament. I beat him by decision, but really got no satisfaction out of beating a guy who was so out of shape. Can't remember if this was before or after one of his kids committed suicide. Ethan Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:49:19 -0800 From: [email protected] Subject: RE: Your NYU Wrestling Experience To: [email protected] Roger Saunders was my coach at NYU and clearly, a great one at that, who subsequently went to Bloomsburg where he was ultimately Athletic Director on last info. Bob Metz had quite a few winning teams at FDU, but he was not Saunders whose brother's wrestling success I alluded to so as to emphasize his wrestling prowess as no fluke. The last I heard of Dave Pruzansky he was diving out of a window of his house to evade police who had busted his drug-dealing operation. As a wrestler he was no joke and you did well to beat him and are too modest. I included reference to pruzansky because they developed a very curious, bizarre, and almost gang-like mentality within their "wrestling click". Upon information, many (if not all) of their clique "amped up" on amphetamines before their matches. Very close to their clique was the very weird and corrupt ref spike israel. The very quiffy spike israel had a "little buddy" jim fiore and had recruited David and his little buddy (among others) to Temple University to which he had some connection, and actually attempted to recruit me to same. I didn't take him seriously; firstly, because he told everyone he had been a state champ (bull s**t); secondly, because he had screwed me in a high school match wherein I had pinned leonard pruzanzky in the first period (I had him on his back almost the entire first period and israel gave me no back points, 2 or 3 for near fall, let alone the pin, and just the takedown and I lost by a point on riding time-leg ride). In an open tournament (I think Stroudsburg?), I was looking at the seedings/pairings/chart and David came up behind me pointed to my entry and said to the guy he was with that I had beaten his brother leonard. Roger required our team during one Christmas break to compete in my first and only free-style tournament. I was up two weight classes and David won quite handily. That was the third time I had beaten Ron and frankly, I did grind him into the mat and kick his ass for the late balance of the first period and the remainder of the match. The following is a reply on facebook to someone who said I beat him in wrestle-off and completes my wrestling story. Good luck to you in all your endeavors. Regards, Al Peia Howard: Thank you for your gracious and overly humble comment. Over time, such things become less and less important and I can't say that I actually recall that, per se. As we both know, wrestling was never a pleasant undertaking and although I respect(ed) the sport, I made it a point never to set foot on a mat off season. You may also find it somewhat ironic that I actually had made the basketball team (Hubie Brown for whom I had high regard was varsity coach and Richie Szura the J.V. coach), which sport I enjoyed; and in a meeting arranged by Dan Deluca (I had won a tournament in junior high and the match against the rival Thomas Jefferson Junior High) with Coach Szura wherein Szura nicely but candidly told me that although I had made the team, "that I wasn't the tallest of angels" (which I thought was very funny and we all laughed) and essentially I'd be warming the bench while Deluca guaranteed me a varsity letter for wrestling the easy matches since varsity wrestler Richard Zocco was having difficulty making weight (he never made weight). As trite and cliched as it sounds, it was the varsity letter guarantee that sealed the deal (and in my mind, the prospective "help with the babes therefrom" - actually, it was only the pretty sophomores with whom it ultimately paid dividends so to speak - how very high school). I had a great Coach in Roger Sanders who recruited me to NYU (Roger and his brother Richard, a CIA agent/mechanic, were both national champions). Wrestling has always been an important learning experience for me. Such a kind and humble remark as yours deserved a greater explanation.

Interesting that you should mention Spike Israel. I am assuming that the word "quiffy" is code for "gay". Spike was coach at Tenafly High when I was in high school, and was known to "like boys". Apparently he taught the Tenafly guys only one move, the Granby roll, which they were all quite good at, but very little else. Besides Ron in the early '70's and Steve and Dave Yale in the later '70's Tenafly basically had no decent wrestlers during that period. Not really sure if this was a coaching issue or recruiting issue. Our high school (DMHS in Englewood) had former state champ Bob Hurley (Bergenfield) as our assistant coach and former state runner up Reggie Williams (Hackensack) as head coach, and we also fielded very few good wrestlers during those years.

He was also helping out at his alma mater (?FDU) assisting a guy he used to refer to as "Metz" or "Metzy". By then he was a fairly un-assuming guy and never even told me that he had taken a 2nd at the Mets when he was in college. By the time I went off to NYU Ron had left town to go to chiropractic school, and I don't think we ever saw each other again. I now remember what struck me so much about that article that was posted at NYU. It was accompanied by a picture of three guys on the podium. You were holding Ron up and he was crying. It's really a classic picture, even more so because unless you know the "back" story you can only imagine what is going on in the wrestler's heads at the moment the shot was taken. I saw this picture once about 25 years ago and it still sticks in my head. I was wondering if you could clarify: I am assuming your coach was named Saunders. He wasn't the one who spoke of gassing out. Like I said above, I thought Ron was coached at FDU by a guy he used to refer to as "Metz". It was either Ron's coach (whoever he might have been) or perhaps Ron himself that stated in the article that Ron had "gassed out". I also remember now that there was some suggestion that he had come down with a flu, which might explain his reaching a state of exhaustion by the end of the match. Or perhaps you just kicked his ass in in the last 2 periods. Speaking of Stu Pruzanski, I never met him , but I knew his brother Dave a bit. Dave owned a gym in the early '80's and our Judo club used to work out there for a while. This was another guy who never really told you much about himself. I only found out years later that he once wrestled Gable to a tie. He was also the only guy to ever win US National championships in Judo, wrestling, and Sombo, all in the same year. (?1972). Years later, maybe 1985 or so, he decided to make a comeback in Judo. He cut a shit load of weight and ended up fighting me in the finals of a small regional tournament. I beat him by decision, but really got no satisfaction out of beating a guy who was so out of shape. Can't remember if this was before or after one of his kids committed suicide. Ethan Ethan: "As a wrestler he was no joke and you did well to beat him and are too modest." To reiterate: you are far too modest! Good luck to you in all your endeavors. Regards, Al Peia

Thank you for letting me know. I'm also a good friend of Gary's, going all the way back to cub scouts and Sunday school. The kidding (in fun) between us was never ending and on his inquiries, I was awaiting resolution of my 'stuff' here in the u.s. one way or the other before calling him, letting him know as discussed here on facebook; and, I'm sad I missed him and will miss him.

Regards,

Al Peia
