Subject: EXTERNAL] Asking for Support from the City of Anaheim for a Legal Outcome for Abuse, including Lifelong Injuries, and Physical Damage to the Brain
Warning: This email originated from outside the City of Anaheim. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message.

Dear Anaheim City Clerk,
My name is Benjamin, I live in California, I have been seeking help for something endured here within the state. I am asking to have help with this from the local City Council. I need this to be looked at, and understood. I, as a person, was put through something that falls very close to this:
https:// encyclopedia. ushmm. org/ content/ en/ article/ the biological state nazi racial hygiene 1933 1939 This began as a concern as I was attending a research University in Northern California a few years ago. Individuals with knowledge of the sciences were involved in this. As this was happening I could do nothing else but endure, stay centered and endure, attempt to keep routine, and send out messages for help. This was from raw physical damage, shock, and distress. I am right to expect money for this. I need to be supported for arrests and compensation.

There is a large working document describing this
here: https:// drive. google. com/ file/ d/ 1lxZGhqQeruIEsRWMFGhIhmu3eM3N5FWE/ view? usp= sharing Please read through everything.

I am asking for help with a California American version of the same as this: https:// claimscon. org/ our work/ compensation/ which should already be available as both restitution and a civil suit through normal legal channels. The concern is that I had been being prevented from this, continually, this is as I was being continually injured, continually in fear of death, and this appeared to be part of strategy by the people who were injuring, responsible for injury, meaning that this felt coordinated and intentional.

There is an incredible amount of principle, and need, in having justice with this.

Under no set of circumstances is injury and mistreatment like this, very understated, something which is acceptable, or something that can be expected to be let go of, and to move on from, without a thorough sense of justice, arrests, and thorough compensation. I cannot be asked to do this in any manner. Any person would expect the same. I do not care what people thought that they were doing, and I do not care what life position they are in. I do not care about their ego or prestige. There are lines that cannot be crossed with people in general, and this type of mentality, to make this acceptable, can never take a foothold in America. I am asking for assistance with attention on this, justice for this, and further than my case itself, prevention of this ever becoming something which is normal.

The 1st Amendment to the United States Constitution has three main principles related to this:

Congress shall make no law:

1. abridging the freedom of speech"
2 2. or of the press"

3. right of the people to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" This is directly from the copy here:
https:// www. senate. gov/ about/ origins foundations/ senate and constitution/ constitution. htm I am asking for support with this. It is mandatory to have this for something like this. I need to have arrests, and I need to have compensation. My full and entire life was targeted by this. I have been attempting to seek a fair response to this through letters, emails, phone calls, and civil action. This is in the absence of an attorney, where I had been followed every time that I had sought one. This has prevented me from having access to my equal protection of the laws, per the 14th Amendment, also from the Constitution.

I am asking for support for 45, 000, 000. 00 from the state of California as a sum total legal outcome for all injury, damage, and suffering involved, approaching this without a lawyer. I am living with significant injury to the brain, living with this and working through this as I have been petitioning for assistance. The brain is your brain. It is everything you are, and everything that you can be. All memories and emotions that you have. It holds your sense of self. There was the direct intent in some of this to remove my ability to be myself from me. This is in addition to the other concerns involving love and reproduction. Any adult should take this seriously, anyone who dates, has a loved one, or a family.

There is an inherent unacceptability with this that anyone should support. I am asking to have assistance with this number as a fair legal outcome from the state of California. If my understanding of the court system is correct I would be able to keep about 1/ 3 to 1/ 2 of this, maybe a little more. This would allow me security within my life, give a sense of justice, and allow me to move forward. This would not be the largest lawsuit within the state of California, nor the biggest number seen. This was brought up to me as a number, and I see this as a number which is fair. I am asking to have support for this. It is not normal to have to do this through this form of action. Until I have an attorney this is what I have been having to do.

I have a lot posted for this on my Twitter account, which can be seen here:

1. This is a longer, explanatory post:
https:// x. com/ bnstn/ status/ 1677769352421179392? s= 46& t= rVB04vc6K5Qn2kpgl0YSRg

2. These are emails sent to the United States Department of Justice, Criminal Division:
https:// x. com/ bnstn/ status/ 1715786150630379708? s= 46& t= rVB04vc6K5Qn2kpgl0YSRg

3. This is correspondence sent to the office of the California Attorney General:
https:// x. com/ bnstn/ status/ 1715786249699824082? s= 46& t= rVB04vc6K5Qn2kpgl0YSRg

4. These are relevant articles from the UDHR, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, signed by the United States in 1948:
https:// x. com/ bnstn/ status/ 1719081981643030847? s= 20 The photo on the last is of Eleanor Roosevelt, holding a copy of the original document.

These are links for Hate law, the first two for California, and then the third for the United States of America:

2. https:// oag. ca. gov/ system/ files/ media/ hate crimes brochure english. pdf

3. https:// www. justice. gov/ hatecrimes/ learn about hate crimes I was hoping to have this brought up in places where this is helpful. Supportive phone calls would be helpful, along with other forms of outreach. These are all relevant people in politics:
3 San Diego City Council Representative Raul Campillo:
https:// sandiego. gov/ citycouncil/ cd7
Mayor of San Diego Todd Gloria:
https:// sandiego. gov/ mayor
CA State Assemblymember Christopher M. Ward for Tierrasanta, San Diego, CA:
https:// a78. asmdc. org
CA State Senate Representative Toni Atkins for San Diego, CA:
https:// sd39. senate. ca. gov
Congressional Representative Sara Jacobs for Tierrasanta, San Diego, CA:
https:// sarajacobs. house. gov
Congressional Representative Barbara Lee for Alameda County, CA:
https:// lee. house. gov
U. S. Senator Alex Padilla for the state of California:
https:// padilla. senate. gov
U. S. Senator Laphonza Butler for the state of California:
https:// butler. senate. gov
Please help as much as possible. I did not have any help from Berkeley while I was there, so I have not listed them here.

This would be something to bring up itself. The Mayor is Jesse Arreguin, my Berkeley City Council representative was first Kate Harrison at and then Councilmember Sophie Hahn at The CA State Assemblymember is Buffy Wicks for Berkeley, CA. The CA State Senate representative is State Senator Nancy Skinner. I am concerned that her office was directly involved in doing this to me. I had reached out repeatedly to Assemblymember Wicks, and less so to the office of State Senator Nancy Skinner for this reason. I did not have help with this up there in general. There is no excuse for this.

I need to have support for this.

Sincerely,
Benjamin Andrew Stein
