Governor Schwarzenegger Picks Tani Cantil-Sakauye As Ca Chief
Justice ~ Will She Mold Justice For The People of California?
Posted on 07/22/2010 by katy
Congratulations To Justice Cantil-Sakauye On Her Nomination
~“The governor plucked appellate court judge Tani Cantil-
Sakauye from near obscurity Wednesday when he named her to
succeed Chief Justice Ronald George, who retires Jan.
2….George called Cantil-Sakauye the ideal person to lead the
nation’s largest court system....which controls the court
system’s $4 billion annual budget and sets policy for the
state’s 1,700 judges. ‘This will go down as one of the most
exceptional decisions of Gov. Schwarzenegger’s
administration,” said George, who told the governor the
nomination was one of his ‘finest legacies’…Legal analysts
said Cantil-Sakauye’s legal opinions reflect a moderate
Republican philosophy in the same mold as George..”
...Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was able to name Tani Gorre
Cantil-Sakauye as California’s next chief justice so quickly -
– it has been only a week since Chief Justice Ronald George
announced his retirement –- because the administration was
already vetting her for a promotion.
....Gov. Schwarzenegger, President of the Regents of the
University of California, at CA Chamber of Commerce Event ~
News Blaze 5-18-10 ~ “Well, I think it is – you know,
Workers’ Compensation was a perfect example, because we did
the reforms that gave back to the private sector $50 billion-
plus in these last few years since we have had Workers’ Comp
reform…. I have experts in my office that are – you know,
like they have in rescue, they have those sniffing dogs?
Well, I have sniffing dogs over there that sniff out job
killers. (laughter) And they sniff from the time they start
passing bills upstairs, or to debate the bills upstairs,
they’re already sniffing. And then they come to me and they
tell me about all of those job killers. And then I sit down
and I look at them and I say, ‘Hasta la vista, baby.”
(laughter)
The Money That Fueled California’s Election Revolt ~
Businessweek 6-16-10 ~ “How Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
and state business leaders bankrolled Proposition 14 to toss
out party primaries…Arnold Schwarzenegger ends his seven-year
run as California’s governor with a 23 percent approval
rating and a $19.1 billion budget deficit…Schwarzenegger’s
political action committee, plus and some prominent
California executives, raised $4.6 million to promote the
referendum…..‘The whole purpose of this is so the Chamber of
Commerce can try to get business-friendly Democrats elected,
who don’t support global warming, environmental legislation,
or labor protection bills,’ says John Burton, head of the
state’s Democratic Party. ‘This isn’t going to change
anything.”
Agnotology is “the study of culturally-induced ignorance or
doubt, particularly the publication of inaccurate or
misleading scientific data. Ignorance is often not merely the
absence of knowledge but an outcome of cultural and political
struggle.” It is time to say “Hasta la vista, Baby” to the
fraud in health marketing that aids to increase profits of
the industry affiliates of the US Chamber of Commerce,
primarily insurers, and under the marketing spin in
terminology of Workers’ Comp “Reform”.
Agnotology, the adverse impact it has had on California
workers, US society and its threat to Democracy as a whole is
demonstrated by using the mold issue. In 2003 the US Chamber
published and mass disseminated a medico-legal off white
paper that professed it was scientifically proven all claims
of illness and death from exposure to the toxic components of
mold were only being made because of “trial lawyers, media,
and Junk Science”. This fraud in health marketing by the US
Chamber that is used to save workers comp and property
casualty insurers money, is one in the collection of a series
of publications used to instill bias in the courts favorable
to industry. Two key others are the position statements of
two US medical associations: American College of Occupational
and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) and American Academy of
Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI). These three papers
all claim they are scientifically grounded and are
substantiated by the National Academy of Sciences, Institute
of Medicine (IOM) when purportedly scientifically
establishing lack of causation of illness from mold. They ARE
NOT. They are frauds in health marketing used to stave off
financial liability for the money crowd and are adverse to
the health and safety of the American public and American
worker. All three of these papers, ACOEM, AAAAI and US
Chamber of Commerce, carry the name “University of
California” to lend credibility to the fallacy of their
words.
On April 28, 2010 a Letter was sent to UC Regent
Schwarzenegger re: conflicts of interest within University of
California medical teaching facilities used to teach
the “environmental science” of the US Chamber. This fraud in
health marketing that is used to bias the courts against the
environmentally ill and against their legal and medical
proponents; not only increases private sector insurer profits–
the University of California (UC) profits from UC physician’s
expert witness fees on behalf of the insurance industry.
These fees can be as much as $900 per hour with the Regents
keeping over half. The Chair of the California Commission on
Judicial Performance, Justice Judith McConnell, also received
a copy of the April 28th letter sent to the Regents of the UC
and other decision makers in California and nationwide. (see
4-28-10 “Truth Out” below).
The US Chamber medico-legal fraud in health marketing that
carries the University of California name used to bias the
courts:
1. Was a paid for hire endeavor.
2. The contract for its authorship was only between the Corp
of GlobalTox (now VeriTox) and the Manhattan Institute think-
tank (self professed “gurus of tort reform”)
3. Nowhere is UC name or the UC physician, Andrew Saxon MD,
who purportedly co-authored, found anywhere within the paper –
except as being listed as an author.
4. No hours were billed in the creation of the Chamber paper,
for anyone conferring with Saxon, the UC physician.
5. Saxon claims under oath he had no knowledge he was named
as authoring the US Chamber publication and had not even read
it as late as 3 years after its publication.
6. One Veritox owner, Kelman, has stated under oath that they
were hired by the Manhattan Institute to write something for
judges.
7. Another Veritox owner, Hardin, has stated under oath that
the Chamber paper he co-authored with Kelman was a lobbying
piece.
8. UC listed author, Saxon, was not paid, like Hardin and
Kelman to author this fraud in health marketing.
9. No one claims authorship of the US Chamber publication on
their CVs.
10. Saxon is the only physician and only non-Veritox owner
listed as a purported co- author of the US Chamber paper–
that falsely carries his and thus the UC name and bias the
courts by lending false credibility to the US
Chamber’s “environmental science”.
11. The Regents of the UC will take no action to have the UC
name removed from the Chamber paper that is used to instill
bias in the courts.
12. Neither will Saxon. He can’t without exposing his ACOEM
mold statement co-authors, Hardin and Kelman, for putting his
and the UC name of the US Chamber marketing piece, without
his knowledge.
13. The University of California has generated much income
via expert defense witness fees paid to the Regents when
Saxon and other UC physicians use the Chamber et al’s, fraud
in health marketing to bias the courts against injured
workers and others.
14. ACOEM writes the workers comp guidelines that physicians
in the State of California must follow under the guise
of “Workers Comp “Reform”.
“We are cleaning up the system,” “We will terminate the fraud
and abuse that was going on in the system.” “No longer will
workers’ compensation be the poison of our economy.” “Those
who were gaming the system, we’re saying, ‘Hasta la vista,’
because the game is over.” “California is open for business.”
Governor Schwarzenegger, President of the Regents of the
University of California before the California Chamber of
Commerce. 2005
