Bennett appeared on PBS with Oracle Spokesman Robert Hoffman. The core topic was outsourcing of US Jobs and the impact of the H-1b visa.

Nothing in San Francisco not even the reward for the murder of Officer Lester Garnier

Harris indicts Childs

Indict, fire or kill US Programmers so as too outsource your personal reocords.

Mr. Childs was seen at Pacific IT Professionals a 4,000 member IT Professional association

Outsourcing Clearing Procedure

Bennett met Mr. Childs at local tech meetings. Many in tech consider his arrest and charge overkill but length of sentence more disturbing.

Nothing in San Francisco not even the reward for the murder of Officer Lester Garnier

The Untold Dead Candidates Stories

What Pete Bennett and Kamala Harris know but only Pete is will to share.

2016 ~ Pete Bennett beaten downtown Walnut Creek

Pete Bennett a resident of Contra Costa County since 1978 sat back for years watching endless incidents of murders, hate crimes and setups of suspects. His first case was a car arson fire at the end of Santa Monica Drive.

1982 to 1996 The Railroad Billionaire

Philip Anschutz Chairman of Southern Pacific

Attorney Rick Kopf appeared in Contra Costa County Superior Court on behalf of Southern Pacific. Back in 1989 this collection of parties from Southern Pacific likely colluded in destroying Bennett vs. Southern Pacific by killing a key witness.

Today Bennett believes the murders and hate crimes lead to the investigators.

1he 1978 KKK Invitation

Bennett relocated to Walnut Creek California during June 1978 renting a cottage house next to Coop Grocery on Geary Road. The property was owned by Jack Bennett (Cousin) and Irene Gorgas of Ideal Homes located on N. Main at Geary.

1979-1992 ~ Sheriff Rainey

Sheriff Richard Rainey has part of Contra Costa Sheriff since the mid sixties. Bennett arrived in June 1978 where he ran into a series of people clearly connected to the KKK. Given the large number of cold cases something is amiss in the statistics.

1979-1992 ~ Mark Peterson

Mark Peterson held the highest level of trust in Contra Costa County as District Attorney. During June 2017 Peterson was charged with perjury connected his fibbing on Fair Political Practices forms (FPPC). During 2010 Bennett met with Peterson with at least a dozen withenss.

Southern Pacific General Counsel

This attorney and his connections to the inner power structure of Contra Costa County was defense council in the Matter of Bennett vs. Southern Pacific filed in 1987 lost in 1990.

2003 to 2015 Mark Coon

Mark Coon was the most gracious person. He met with Pete Bennett in regards to the City of Concord Entertainment Permit. The dispute arose when Bennett attempted to busk downtown in Todos Santos Park. Bennett went the Concord Police Department where he met with Chief Livingston. Years later Bennett realized Livingston was present at the Pine Wood Derby the same weekend his sons were taken.

The Lies of Oracle

Larry Ellison's CEO like other CEO's is dead like CEO'S

During June of 2007 Oracle spokesman Robert Hoffman and Pete Bennett appeared on the same PBS segment.

Ellison has a long relationship with Michael Milken Who provided the funds to take over Palco Lumber which is one of the reasons Judi Bari was blown up

Yes I know FBI agent Frank Doyle Jr he was in my cabinet shop in 1989 when my witness was murdered in the matter of Bennett versus Southern Pacific.

It is the same window that a police officer was killed in Walnut Creek and the same window that current Contra Costa County legal counsel Sharon Anderson was also in litigation with Southern Pacific.

Oracle security threw me out of Oracle world and today I'm still homeless on the street I was desperately trying to get back to work.

I'm positive the orders to kick me out of Oracle world came from the top.

When I called the SEC whistleblower in 2014 I was unaware of the connections of Southern Pacific and Kinder Morgan leading into Enron and then Enron leading into World Trade 7 building that came down during the 9/11 attacks.

The man in the middle of the Southern Pacific logo is the attorney from Southern Pacific in 1988 and 89 that I took today I know killed my witness I've been in his officers I've done my depositions in San Francisco at the former landmark building owned by Southern Pacific.

Someone killed my witness and today I have a US attorney that actually worked at the Contra Costa County District Attorney's office when somebody inside that office covered up my witness murder.

• Elon Musk Praises Oracle Billionaire Larry Ellison's Hawaiian Island Laboratory, Which Is Home To A Wellness Spa And Tesla Solar-Powered Greenhouses, As 'Cool' And 'Like A Microcosm For The World'

Elon Musk praises Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison's Hawaiian island laboratory, which is home to a wellness spa and Tesla solar-powered greenhouses, as 'cool' and 'like a microcosm for the world'

Business Insider | Apr 2, 2020, 18:32 IST

• Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison has the support of Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk as he builds out his sustainability and wellness laboratory on the Hawaiian island of Lanai, according to a new interview in Forbes.
• Ellison has built a wellness spa and hydroponic greenhouses on the island, which are powered by Tesla solar panels.
• "It's cool; it's like a microcosm for the world," Musk told Forbes.
• The two billionaires have a well-documented friendship. Ellison who is on Tesla's board, has described Musk as a close friend, and Musk told Forbes Ellison is "one of the best engineers I've met."
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison have a well-documented friendship, so it's unsurprising that Musk is supportive of Ellison's plans to turn the Hawaiian island of Lanai into a sustainable wellness laboratory.
In a new interview with Forbes, Ellison discussed his interest in sustainability, health, and wellness, which includes his plans for Lanai as well as his work with the US government to help find a treatment for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.

On Lanai, Ellison is working on three separate issues through his wellness company, Sensei: global food supply, nutrition, and sustainability. The island has a spa and two 20,000-square-foot hydroponic greenhouses, which have sensors and cameras that track data about the farms, including water usage and airflow and are powered by 1,600 Tesla solar panels, according to Forbes.
Now, Ellison is in talks with Hawaiian Electric Co. to purchase the power plant and electric grid on Lanai, with the plan being to transition the island away from fossil fuels toward 100% renewable energy.
"It's cool; it's like a microcosm for the world," Musk told Forbes.

A long-standing friendship

Ellison has been a Tesla board member since 2018. When he was named to Tesla's board of directions, he highlighted his relationship with Musk.
"I think Tesla has a lot of upside," Ellison said at the time. "I am not sure how many people know, but I'm very close friends with Elon Musk, and I'm a big investor in Tesla."
Ellison went to the mat for Musk again that same year, defending him from critics by highlighting the work Musk has done with SpaceX.
"This guy is landing rockets. You know, he's landing rockets on robot drone rafts in the ocean. And you're saying he doesn't know what he's doing," Ellison said at a meeting with financial analysts in 2018. "Well, who else is landing rockets? You ever land a rocket on a robot drone? Who are you?"
The compliments have gone both ways.
"He's really one of the best engineers I've met," Musk said in the Forbes interview. "When we engage on a technical subject, he understands it very quickly, even when it's out of his normal arena, not software."
