This was the beginning of the web for Pete Bennett Walnut Creek City Council
The Homeless Candidate
By the time Pete Bennett walked up to Congressman Mark DeSaulnier in October 2018 he was exasperated by the dubious resistance. He is protected by the unions which run the county. That includes the reasoning why Pete Bennett left the county hospital due to the eerliy near fatal incidents near Bennett and others.
The Homeless Candidate
The astounding personal connection for Pete Bennett was learning the fate of Nordstroms Tailor unlikely suicide in Lake Arrowhead. That incident documented ny the La Times and
Marie committed suicide by locking herself in the cab of a pickup truck at Lake Arrowhead with portable lighted barbecues and a pail of burning coals. She left a note, saying she wanted to be with Jimmy. She was 48.
This story bothered me for years after learning his connection to his step mom Marie Coon. The facts are hard to collect but in 2007
Factual Error : Pete Bennett ran into a mom who attended a local club in 2007 that said her son had been killed in Iraq.
Real Statement : Jimmy’s biological mother died when he was 9 years old, eight years after his parents divorced.
Bennett has been trolled by a series of persons portraying being part of an event or connected to a specific person. It is known as being part of a cyber chess board.
This is the same FBI agent who arrived at Mainframe Designs Cabinets and Fixtures in 1989. Bennett called the San Francisco offices after endless incidents connected to the PIttsburg Police Department. Their core tactics during the 80s was prostitutes Round Up , kill drug dealers, Blacks and run racketeering protection.
In 1988 Officer Eric Bergen offered up protection from his security company which was rejected. Things only got worse from there.

Largely unnoticed for decades is a railyard explosion involving and destroying over 100 rail cars loaded with bombs destined for the Concord Naval Weapons station. Not long after the United States began losing the Vietnam War. Perhaps Roseville should reopen the explosion as a murder case connected to any US Service person killed after this explosion?
During the early 1980's Safeway store development was located just off Yganicio Valley Road and Oak Grove Road. Along the way they began contracting projects with Mainframe Designs Cabinets and Fixures owned by Pete Bennett. It was a big ad for a small shop. The ad worked very well because the unionized shops went on strike where owners cut back advertising. Stoke of luck as all Bennett knew was a run a full page ad in the Contra Costa Central Yellow Pages.
A key customer was Safeway Stores where back in the 1980s was embarking on remodeling, upgrades and store format changes. Safeway was asking for more production capicity focusing on new projects in the millions.
In the background for decades was a witness murder resulting in Pete Bennett losing Mainframe Designs Cabinet and Fixtures a potential of becoming a multimillion dollar operation.

Bennett attended the first news conference held at Contra Costa District Attorney Offices regarding the arrests of Commander Wielsch and PI Chris Butler before answering nearly every question Peterson looked at Bennett. Most everyone noticed the interaction. Back then Bennett wasn't timid but held back asking questions that today would be bombshells of the future.

Bennett resident of Walnut Creek for many years moving between Concord, Pleasant Hill, Danville and Pittsburg.
Bennett was attempting to engage with the City Attorney and City Manager staff. He was on the third floor Walnut Creek City Hall where he placed his homeless backpack where chairs located in the waiting area
Templeton walks past Bennett to enter her work area. Within minutes Bennett is confronted by several police officers responding to information that his unattended property just 20 feet away was a possible bomb. Officers being sane arrive with hands on their guns placing Bennett in a scenario where he could have shot dead by pplice. That false police report helped destroy employment opportunities as Bennett once had clearance to enter Lawrence Livermore Labs, GE Nuclear and PG&E Facilities. The clearance he looks for today is the empty space in his wallet or his missing children.
This story is almost a joke, mom turns up missing with children after fleeing Antioch in 1997. The letter to the District Attorney was accepted as gospel but nowhere did anyone state her husband was a Captain in the Walnut Creek Police Department. Sounds so similar to the 1989 Floyd Brown Jr. murder a key witness in Bennett vs. Southern Pacific. Just like Stratton there is no real history except several scant detail missing court records.

During the many long days of digging Bennett was on FBI's web site researching missing persons section when he came upon the Elizabeth Stratton poster. Knowing most of the names of Walnut Creek employees he knew about Neil Stratton. His former girlfriend was driving a Ford Explore owned by Bob Stratton. That was around the time that Ron Verde rented Bennett a huge 3000SF house for trading for web site design. Another coincidence was at the time during summer 2008 Bennett was renting an office on Oakland Blvd. The sublessor was realtor Kevin Roberts former COmmunity Development Director for the City of Walnut Creek.

Remember this man as if he was your own. Pete Bennett discovered the connections between Walnut Creek, Nordstroms, Broadway Plaza and Iraq starting in 2012. The Coon family relocated to Paradise where other witnesses and victims coincidently are from Walnut Creek or East Bay.
Marie Coon was his step mom but also the Nordstroms Tailor often tasked with alterations for Pete Bennett. After she learned the truth she was found dead in Lake Arrowhead CA.
Today Bennett matched up a few issues that place a CIA Agent from the East Bay in the same general locations Spc. James Coon was based. Bennett stumbled into a several subordinates who helped fill in critical missing details.
Joint Base Balad was one of the multitude of military installations maintained and used by the United States of America in Iraq. It was known under multiple names, including Balad Air Base, Al Bakr Air Base, Camp Anaconda or LSA Anaconda. The base was one of the widest ones run by the Americans. Its history was pretty small, as it was then disestablished after the official withdrawal from 2011. It was handed back to the new Iraqi government. The base was located about 65 kilometers away from Baghdad and could easily host more than 36,000 individuals. During its peak, it hosted about 28,000 military troops and more than 8,000 civilian contractors and employees. It was also among the bases with the most advanced facilities, not to mention about its attraction towards politicians, authorities, officials and celebrities

This incident occurred around the time that Mayor Newsom signed the reward for the murders of officer Lester Garnier.
By ABC7
Friday, August 6, 2010SAN FRANCISCO
Childs, 45, of Pittsburg, will likely only serve another four to six months in custody, according to one of his attorneys, Valerio Romano, who argued today for his client to receive only probation.
City officials said after Childs' arrest in July 2008 that they were worried their inability to access the FiberWAN network, which handled about 60 percent of the network traffic for city departments, would cripple the city if power were somehow shut off.
Romano today said that claim was completely overblown.
"All that really happened was, for 12 days...they didn't have access to an administrator network," Romano told Judge Teri Jackson.
"Not one email was lost, not one piece of data," he said.
Childs -- who had a history of clashing with his superiors at the Department of Technology, as well as prior felony convictions for burglary and theft in the early 1980s -- refused to hand over the passwords to the FiberWAN network at a meeting he was called to on July 9. He continued to do so even after a police inspector warned him his refusal was potentially criminal.
Romano called the meeting "an ambush."
Childs was arrested a few days later. On July 21, Mayor Gavin Newsom visited Childs in his jail cell and Childs agreed to give him the passwords.
The city regained control of the network, and no services were ever affected.
Prosecutors charged Childs with multiple counts of computer tampering-related crimes, all except one of which were later thrown out by another judge.
A jury convicted Childs on April 27 of this year of the one remaining charge, a denial-of-computer-service statute that Romano and Childs' primary attorney, Richard Shikman, argued was designed to prosecute computer hacking. The jury also found true an allegation that damage from the crime exceeded $200,000.
Romano said that while Childs' actions had been "misguided" and "a mistake," he never intended to harm the network.
"He put the security of the network above his own well-being," Romano said of Childs' decision to go to jail rather than release the passwords to Department of Technology management he didn't trust.
Romano said the case was all about "a personality conflict" between Childs and his superiors.
"The bottom line was, they couldn't get into it if they wanted to," Jackson interjected.
"There need to be procedures for giving over access to devices," said Romano.
But prosecutor Conrad Del Rosario said there had been numerous opportunities for Childs to hand over the passwords in a more secure way, if that was his concern.
Del Rosario called the notion that Childs was just acting in the best interest of the FiberWAN network "disingenuous."
"He had no problem using that as a pawn for whatever internal conflict he had with management," said Del Rosario.
Del Rosario acknowledged that the Department of Technology had its problems.
"The people are by no means saying this was management at its peak performance," he said.
Jackson noted the case, including the months-long trial, was extremely complicated. She agreed that "one can argue" that there had been "mismanagement" at the Department of Technology.
"Some say the city created Mr. Childs," she said. "They knew what they had."
However, Jackson emphasized, "A defense in a case is not to blame the victim."
"This case...is about an individual who built the system, that he felt he owned," Jackson said.
Childs had reportedly attempted to copyright the configurations to the FiberWAN, which as the builder he considered his own intellectual property.
"He felt that because of his blood, sweat and tears, this was his system," said Jackson. "He was wrong. He was wrong, and the jurors found him to be wrong."
Jackson said that because of Childs' several prior convictions, and because of violating his "position of trust" as the only one in the department with the passwords, state prison was "appropriate."
She sentenced Childs to the mid-term sentence of four years in state prison. Childs will receive credit for days served in jail and for good behavior.
A separate hearing on monetary restitution owed by Childs to the city is scheduled for Aug. 13. Prosecutors are asking for nearly $1.5 million.
District Attorney Kamala Harris attended today's sentencing hearing, and after, said Jackson "absolutely made the right decision" to sentence Childs to prison.
Harris said Childs had "engaged in a real power-play" with the city of San Francisco and that his behavior "had the potential to turn the city upside-down."
Romano disputed Harris' characterization of the danger during those 12 days.
"Although numerous city departments were attached to the FiberWAN," he said, "the worst that could have happened was a short outage in connectivity, similar to what any computer user experiences when their Internet service provider goes down."
"This case was more like a political campaign, than a case," Romano said.

A Wells Fargo executive was a victim in the Amtrak derailment outside Philadelphia.
Abid Gilani, a senior vice president of Wells Fargo's hospitality finance group, was among seven people killed in the crash, a company spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday.
He was a "valued member" of the division, she said.
The Amtrak train originated in Washington, D.C. and was headed for New York. It derailed and crashed at about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday. At least 200 people were injured.
When it crashed, the train was traveling about 106 mph in an area where the maximum speed limit is 50 mph. All seven cars and the engine derailed.
One of the other victims of the crash was Jim Gaines, a video software specialist for the Associated Press. He worked there since 1998 and was returning home after meetings in Washington, the AP said.
Gaines, 48, is survived by his wife, Jacqueline, and two children, 11-year-old Anushka and 16-year-old Oliver.
Gaines "leaves behind a legacy of professionalism and critical accomplishment, kindness and humor," wrote AP CEO Gary Pruitt in an email message to staffers.
Rachel Jacobs, the CEO of a small tech company called ApprenNet, also died in the crash.
She was recently appointed as CEO and commuted from her home in New York City to her job in Philadelphia.
Jacobs leaves behind her husband and a two-year-old son.
"This is an unthinkable tragedy. Rachel was a wonderful mother, daughter, sister, wife and friend," the family said in a statement.
U.S. Naval Academy midshipman Justin Zemser was also among among those killed in the crash.
