Making Takshila in California: A tale of revealing corruption, collusion, and abuse of power by the State of California

 In 2017, when Lt Governor, Gavin Newsom was running around and giving talks on NPR on education and more specifically on computer education, BPPE was running around and sending out threatening letters to computer Boot-camps and crash course centers to CLOSE DOWN or PAY!. Lt. Governor Newsom said that the California education system has been failing us. We need more innovative and creative ways to train our new generation. Does BPPE have anyone who can support that, or at least not hinder the process of innovation in education by putting blocks of 20 years old methodologies under the throat of new and budding innovation educational institutions?

BPPE is - breaking laws, abusing power, lying under oath, fabricating review reports, and extorting money from the very people it supposed to guide and regulate.

 

BPPE/DCA either lied to California Citizen or defrauded Federal Government's Education Depart (Financial Aid Program).

Below are the links to a book, two articles - (i) Abuse of Power, and (ii) Law and Outlaw.

The Book is an account of my journey to make an Institution named California Takshila University in California.  It is a tale of revealing corruption, collusion, and abuse of power by the State of California. 

The Bureau for Private Post Secondary Education (BPPE), and Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) of California engaged in abusive and unconstitutional activities. 

Takshila: One of the best performing innovative start-up institution that produced and trained high-tech professionals successfully.  Silicon Valley and rest of the country happily employed CTU graduates.  Now, Takshila is in Limbo. CTU has been bullied, threatened and subjected to injustice, prejudice, and discrimination. CTU and my constitutional rights were violated.

And the question is WHY? 

This WHY will take all of us to the land where state Assembly members, state Senators, the U.S. Congressman, and some media do not want to go. But, we live in an age-of-truth-prevails faster than one can imagine. Thus, I am here to open the chapter that sheds light on some of the state regulator's corruptions, collusions, fabrications that culminated in the spoliation of evidence, lying under oath, and disobedience to civil laws and regulations. When all is said and done, you will be surprised or you may have a hard time believing that your tax money is being used for the salaries of the people who are involved in such heinous activities.

 

We accidentally questioned BPPE, DCA and California Attorney General (both Kamala Harris and Xavier Becerra). We (unintentionally) flashed light on the wrongdoing of the system. That did not go very well. We were, thus, systematically bullied, threatened, discriminated against and violated of our constitutional rights.

During the process of satisfying the abuses, we would end-up uncovering the darts that must not be uncovered. Hence our path with BPPE became treacherous.  This book is an account for that.  We are not a unique situation.  

There are over several hundred may be near thousands of California institutions have a similar story to tell.

Someone needs to ASK. 

All we wanted to do is teach.  And, all we want you - the Senators and Assembly members - to do is perform sincere and honest oversights of the Government agencies and their official, and protect the Californian Citizens from their abuse and corruption.

CTU's MSCS program is a graduate level and met both the original Minimum Educational Requirements in Order to Award a Graduate Degree (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 5, § 71865, subd . (a)):  (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 5, § 71865, subd .  (a)) and the twisted SOI#8 that asks for rigor.   Yet Judge Johnson constructed misleading and false finding and drew a decision that CTU's program did not meet the minimum requirement as stated in the above regulation.  BPPE, DCA and Attorney General sang the same chorus.  Our repeated request to the State senators, Assembly members, DCA Director, and BPPE Chief to carefully review the documents, the facts, and the regulations; failed to get their sincere attention.

Hence, finally, Mr. Dean R. Grafilo's deputy, Mr. Ryan Marcroft, ordered CTU to close down its operation. Fully illegally and all our elected officials looked the other way.   With this, State of California not only committed one count of wrongdoing but also committed over 1000 counts of wrongdoing.   CTU is the only one that has the tenacity and conviction to fight against injustices the, as it states on the Attorney General's Emblem, - "Liberty and Justice Under Law".

Why did we predict Obama would win the 2008 election and why are we predicting he will do it again in 2012?

Gordon Bell and I decided to explore one of the invisible trait of leadership that is as primordial as early points of evolutionary track- the essence.  Most successful leaders (good or bad) of all time had/have the essence.  We felt it from Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Masayoshi Son, Hiroshi Mikitani, Tom Cech, Dalai Lama, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Desmond Mpilo Tutu, Bill Clinton, and John F. Kennedy. 

   

Leadership that president Obama exercised past four years as our president and before that as a politician is fundamentally of a leadership quality of a politepreneur(tm).  He has taken risks that others dare to charter in, utilized challenges as opportunities, and compromised and collaborated where defeats are certain. 

The reasons we predict his reelection are not political ...they are about humanity.  We may not agree with any or all of a politician’s viewpoints and actions, yet I’ll vote for them based on what I perceive about them as beings.

Thus, the overall reason he will be reelected is his consummate abilities as a communicator.  I believe that Obama wants to do his level best ...as long as the American public wants him on the job.  If he were to lose the election, he would keep on going as he would after serving a second term. 

We honestly cannot imagine a human with his degree of magnitude.  We revel at the man and genuinely believe his critics do not really comprehend him.  He truly is a one-of-a- kind man.  No one on the scene today can compete and win anything from him.

And, who he is readily visible when he walks up to the podium and speaks.  And, it’s also seen in his demeanor when in a casual situation and playing sports, etc.  Let’s say they’re 10 things a speaker can do to be influencing and persuasive and win by just doing 7 of the 10 ...Obama does 11. 

He has ethos, meaning he quickly and easily establishes rapport.  He is as sincere, authentic and transparent as one can be in a system that prohibits sincerity, authenticity, and transparency.

While he is ahead in ethos, a value or characteristic so vital, it alone can win any contest, he does or has more of one other vital element never discussed regarding presentation skills...  essence.

Essence is very difficult to identify and describe, so we will do our best.

Essence is a form of energy.  It is not the same energy used to perform.  It is a deeper energy that used with the energy to perform, creates a glow or a presence.  And, presence is very difficult to describe.  You just sense or feel it.

In the animal kingdom, it is sensed by the others in a group.  One dog in a pack of dogs will fast be the pack’s leader.  They don’t negotiate the leadership, it just happens.  The dog with the strongest essence leads and the rest follow.  When there is a tie, they fight to see who wins.

Since we are all essentially the same as animals in this regard, we too elevate the guy with the strongest essence, in this case the politician to leadership ...because, he or she has the essence we respect and even revere.  It is usually an unconscious and seldom if ever spoken about decision.

On the flip side, if we do not like that politician’s policies or affiliations, we tend to have an emotional response and might even demonstrate anger.  We may be followers of other leaders who themselves declare their opposition and so we take sides blowing the theory apart.  So, humans are more complex than animals.

We even witnessed actions that some might consider absolutely insane for the first couple of years of the Obama presidency.  That was simply a knee jerk reaction that grew in magnitude only to match the magnitude of Barack Obama.

 In spite of his more than obvious qualities, some just do not like a person with great essence.  And, because they have exceptional essence, we attempt to fight or respond to the heightened essence in a comparable and often vengeful manner.

The one leader who Obama most resembles in the regard of exceptional essence is JFK (John F Kennedy).  Both JFK and Obama had/have the ability to stand up and remain silent yet communicate in spades.

Allow us to better explain what essence is:

Essence is the virtual inexplicable primal energy we inherit ancestrally through our mother’s and father’s line.  And, their genes changed based on the life experiences they go through, what they adapt to, what they eat, what they think, how long they live, and on and on. 

It goes into the fetal cells from the sperm and the ova into your body.  The original essence is stored in the lower lumbar and feeds the whole body.

It determines genetically:

·         how long we are going to live

·         how strong we are going to be

·         when we are going to go into menopause

·         when we are going to get gray hair

·         when we are going to lose bone density

·         how long our offspring will live

·         how much will, drive and courage we will have

·         how strong, young and vital our body is.

It will determine everything about our makeup, our brain, our psychological outlook on life, whether we have more courage, more fear and how we can adapt to stress.

It’s very fundamental ...one of the most important things about our physical existence that we have to respect and understand. 

Doesn’t this explain the factor that differentiated JFK from Richard Nixon and Barack Obama from John McCain, and now from Mitt Romney?

Essence determines how a communicator will appear, stand or sit.  It influences the expressions through their eyes, their body language, and their entire demeanor.

During the 2008 Presidential Campaign, CNN occasionally put both McCain and Obama on the same screen split down the middle.  John McCain was and is a good speaker; however, he was no match to Obama. 

Obama made many fewer body movements, which unconsciously is perceived as solid, strong, steady, reliable, etc. especially movement of the head. 

No one, not even his opponents can say he has not exuded leadership characteristics regarding his role of Commander in Chief.  He took risks few would and pulled them off with precision.  Of course, he was blessed with a Navy Seals team who’s caliber of expertise was perhaps unavailable to previous presidents.

But that tends to be a part of or accompany the magic such essence.  People with such essence appear to be lucky.  They are more intuitive then most others.

Strong essence is the foundation of their being.  The Indian and other Asian use the candle to explain essence.  They call essence Jing.

In terms of the candle:  The jing is the wax.  The flame and wick are the Atma/Chi or the type of energy needed to move etc., and the flame is what they call Shen or the glow.  Obama simply glows with treasured radiance and has a unique aura.

We predict that enough voters who are responsive to the man and not as much his policies and politics will vote for him as they did in 2008 because no one on the scene as yet can compete with his essence.

MacArthur Fellows-- 2011

The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation today named 22 new MacArthur Fellows for 2011. Working across a broad spectrum of endeavors, the Fellows include an architect, a sports medicine researcher, a cellist, a developmental biologist, a radio producer, a neurologist, a conservator, a poet, a technologist, and a public historian. All were selected for their creativity, originality, and potential to make important contributions in the future.

The recipients learned, through a phone call out of the blue from the Foundation, that they will each receive $500,000 in no-strings-attached support over the next five years. MacArthur Fellowships come without stipulations or reporting requirements and offer Fellows unprecedented freedom and opportunity to reflect, create, and explore. The unusual level of independence afforded to Fellows underscores the spirit of freedom intrinsic to creative endeavors. The work of MacArthur Fellows knows neither boundaries nor the constraints of age, place, and endeavor.

"This has been a year of great change and extraordinary challenge, and we are once again reminded of the potential individuals have to make a difference in the world and shape our future," said Robert Gallucci, President of the MacArthur Foundation. "The MacArthur Fellows exemplify how individual creativity and talent can spark new insights and ideas in every imaginable field of human endeavor."

Among the recipients this year are:

a radio producer engaging a new generation of listeners with audio explorations of scientific and philosophical questions that recreate the thrill of discovery (Jad Abumrad);
a sports medicine researcher advancing the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of sports-related brain injuries to improve the safety of athletes of all ages (Kevin Guskiewicz);
a technologist inventing low-cost, easy-to-deploy sensor systems to enable users to track household energy consumption and to make buildings more responsive to our needs (Shwetak Patel);
a clinical psychologist deepening understanding of self-injury and suicide among adolescents and adults in the interest of saving lives and influencing mental health care in our society (Matthew Nock);
an architect integrating conventional materials, bold yet functional designs, and ecologically friendly technology in a wide range of striking structures (Jeanne Gang);
a parasitologist/virologist decoding the genomes of virulent human pathogens that cause rare diseases and threaten the lives of millions in the developing world (Elodie Ghedin);
a long-form journalist crafting richly illuminating accounts of ordinary people in such rapidly changing societies as Reform Era China (Peter Hessler);
a percussionist and composer infusing Latin jazz with bold new energy and sound, dazzling technical abilities, and rhythmically adventurous compositions (Dafnis Prieto);
an evolutionary geneticist addressing such fundamental questions as why some species reproduce sexually and why some species carry more than one copy of each gene (Sarah Otto);
a public historian reframing the history of colonial America in works that illuminate the complex relationship between African and Cherokee peoples (Tiya Miles); and
a poet and translator mining the classical world and poetic techniques to craft imaginative explorations of contemporary life that evoke insights about antiquity's relevance for today (A. E. Stallings).

Summary information about the MacArthur Fellows is attached. Additional biographical information, video interviews, and downloadable photos are online at www.macfound.org/fellows.

"The call from the Foundation is the culmination of an intensive year or longer review of the creative efforts and promise of each Fellow. It comes out of the blue and offers the new Fellows the gift of time and the unfettered opportunity to explore, create, and contribute," said Daniel J. Socolow, director of the MacArthur Fellows Program.

The selection process begins with formal nominations. Hundreds of anonymous nominators assist the Foundation in identifying people to be considered for a MacArthur Fellowship. Nominations are accepted only from invited nominators, a list that is constantly renewed throughout the year. They are chosen from many fields and challenged to identify people who demonstrate exceptional creativity and promise. A Selection Committee of roughly a dozen members, who also serve anonymously, meets regularly to review files, narrow the list, and make final recommendations to the Foundation's Board of Directors. The number of Fellows selected each year is not fixed; typically, it varies between 20 and 25.

Including this year's Fellows, 850 people, ranging in age from 18 to 82 at the time of their selection, have been named MacArthur Fellows since the inaugural class in 1981.
