i am an idealist. Pure and simple. I am #1genUS, and with respect to the politics of this land pretty much use #KeepItSimpleSmartie and #CommonLaw, the #DeclarationOfIndependence and #Constitution to inform my thoughts and go from there. I am reasonable and will listen to anything except lies and hate-based realities, and those I walk away from as being Stupid.

Clash of Paradigms Googe Wallet Fail

Re: [0-8029000006481] Your Google Support inquiry AKA Google Wallet Fail

Hi Salim,

I would really appreciate it if "My Google Wallet Team" would appoint ONE (1) PERSON (preferably a person from Google Wallet, Corp. proper and not some subcontractor or partner or affiliate) to respond and communicate with me so that we don't have to go over this over and over and over and over and over again.  Please stop answering me with the same answer because it is not resolving the problem because, NO, unfortunately, you did not summarize the problem correctly.  Until I can establish that I can indeed trust Google Wallet with money:

1.  I want my google wallet account to be turned off like i already did.
2.  I want the money in my google wallet account to be IMMEDIATELY returned to whomever sent me the money.  Read my previous emails on security concerns.
3.  I want someone to send to me immediately, the documentation upon which Google Wallet has claimed that the  City of Los Angeles made a fraudulent charge on my account so I can make the appropriate filings with the FTC.

Thank you.
peace & harmony,
elaine

Hi, Elaine.

Thanks for your response.
Let me summarized if I understand your request.
First, is you want us to reinstate your Google Wallet card? Currently, we don't have a way to reinstate a canceled Google Wallet card. The only way that you can have another Google wallet card is to request for a new wallet card. We know the reason why your old wallet card was canceled its due to the dispute the you file for unauthorized charges. our team is doing this to protect you from future unauthorized charges in your account.
Second, is you want me to send all the money in your wallet balance to the sender? We are not also allowed to get into your account and send those money to whoever sender is. You're the only one who can do that and I'm really sorry that you have to go through a lot of inconvenience.
I just like to suggest some possible resolution on how you can get your money, you can have these wallet balance transferred to your bank account, however, you need to associate a bank account in your Google Wallet for you to do the process. Once your bank account is linked to your Google Wallet account you can now transfer your Wallet balance to it. If these suggestion is not acceptable, another way is you can send the money to a family member who has Google Wallet account, where in they can withdraw the money and give it to you instead. Those are the suggestions that I can offer.
Once again, my sincere apologies all of these inconvenience.
If you have any more questions, please reply to this email. I'm happy to help!
Thanks,
Salim
The Google Wallet Team

Google Wallet: One Step Forward Three Steps Back

Continuing on with my Cha-Cha-Cha with Google Wallet, still not sure if I'm actually speaking to a Google employee or just some "Customer Service" bot or representative from Bancorp proper.


Re: [0-8029000006481] Your Google Support inquiry

=)  Hi Belshazzar!

Well, see, wow.  I should start using my "Nikohl Vandel" name to manage my actual life too, maybe.

Thank you for what -- reactivating my account before we resolved the issues?!  REALLY?!

Please just keep the account cancelled until Google Wallet can resolve my fundamental trust issues.  Please immediately return the money like I requested, I do not have safe secure access my Google Wallet from a desktop computer and I will not do it from my mobile and, to be honest, right now, I just want someone to confirm that they have returned the money that was put in my wallet to the person who sent it.  If Google Wallet cannot do that, well, why should I ever call or email customer support -- you do see my real fundamental problem with Google Wallet and their lack of ability to actually be a wallet in operation for a regular housewife and mother.

Google Wallet insists that they cannot activate the card that is in my actual wallet, yet it can, as the very first member of "My Google Wallet Team" told me on the phone that, "yes, it can be, but they won't."  I do not appreciate Google's wasteful mindset, and the actual waste that this generates on a personal level and on a global scale, I hope you understand, again, why I cannot trust my money to a company that is so wasteful with resources to manage my money with me.  We are living in unsustainable times and if I am not part of the solution, I am part of the problem and if Google is not sensitive to these kinds of systemic issues, they are unsustainable and are creating a world that endangers the future of all our children.  I have removed myself from part of the problem as much as possible, eliminating banks was a huge step I took over 10-15 years ago, now.

As for the dispute specialists and rereading my emails -- the dispute specialist said nothing as to what happened.  no one clarified anything.  THEY just cancelled my account.  At this point, I am considering a complaint with the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) because if Google Wallet is being so flippant in their services and investigations on disputes that they are telling me that the City of Los Angeles posted a fraudulent charge and cancelled my card because "my security" was breached by the City of Los Angeles -- that's a personal concern I do now have.  That's a bigger issue than just a late posting of a $3.00 parking meter charge.  I mean, as a citizen I need to know what the City of Los Angeles is doing and why they are able/trying to do fraudulent parking meter charges on credit cards.  I know they are desperate for money at the City, yet, if this is how they are handling it, I want the FTC to investigate too.

Next, layer on top of that concern, the fact that you, Belshazzar, who are working at resolving this problem, cannot communicate with another part of "My Google Wallet Team" is just incompetent and makes me feel like any security you think you are protecting has nothing to do with me at all or security for that matter.  Hence, you are not "My Google Wallet Team" you are just some employee trolling customer service issues repeating what has already been said to me in yet another way, because you get paid to do it.

Conclusion.  If you can actually do what I want done with MY Google Wallet account, I would appreciate it.

And, no, you do not understand me at all and your descriptions of how you may feel in the position you think I am in are not accurate as to my actual feelings, please do not ever think you or anyone at Google Wallet are able to do that for me ever again. 

SOOO, maybe, I'll get a response from Archangel Michael next telling me that, "yeah, elaine, we fixed the stupid as best we can for now, the dispute specialist really didn't do their job right -- no, the City of Los Angeles did not make fraudulent charges to your account, we need to pay them their $3.00 post-dated charge that was finally coming through, and wow, we fuq'd up.  God still says we can't turn back on your old card, so we've issued you a card in the name of "Nikohl Vandel" while we fix on correcting the stupid within the system."  It really is ok to be smarter, and to change policies to be ACTUALLY REALLY MORE SECURE for all the parties and not just protecting the Banksters.

Cheers.

peace & harmony,
elaine

Hi, Elaine.
Thanks for your patience.

I understand that you have several issues with regard to your Google Wallet account. I'll try my best to address them all for you.

First, we are unable to make any transfer of funds in your behalf using your Google Wallet account, I've reactivated your Google Wallet account and kindly send the funds  back to it's respective sender. (please let me know If you decide to suspend your Wallet account again and I can do it for you)

Moreover, I see that your Wallet card has already been cancelled, and a cancelled Wallet card can no longer be reactivated. I regret the inconvenience. However, you can simply request for a new Wallet card either at wallet.google.com or in your Google Wallet app and Google will ship your card within 10 business days. I know that this option was offered to you so many times during your conversation with our supervisors, I'm really sorry but this is the only option I have available for you.

Now, regarding your concern about why your card was cancelled, as you have been previously informed it has something to do with the dispute you've filed. I'm not sure if you've disputed the "City of Los Angeles parking charge" since it can only be accessed by our dispute team. The best way to find out what went wrong with the dispute is to reply to the email they've sent you. To find that email, please look in your inbox for a message sent on March 13th 2015 with "Your Google Support inquiry" in the subject line. If you can't see that message in your inbox, please also check your spam folder, just in case.
As part of the Google Wallet Team, I'm unable to get any information with the status of your dispute but our Dispute specialist can, for the fastest and best resolution of your issue, you may reply to that email that the specialist sent you.
I understand how aggravating this can be putting myself into your situation knowing that you Wallet card has been cancelled. I know that you've been communicating with us with regard to your issue and It has been a fruitless endeavor knowing that your existing Google Wallet card can no longer be reactivated. Elaine, please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience this has caused you.

As part of our continued customer service, we want to make sure that everything has been addressed. I'd be happy to give you a call to further discuss the resolution of your issue. Feel free to reply to this email with your phone number and preferred time.

Kind regards,

Belshazzar
The Google Wallet Team

Google Wallet Banksters Follow-Up

Re: [0-8029000006481] Your Google Support inquiry
Hi Prince,
Thank you for reading and comprehending my emails and for disabling my account and I trust that the funds have been returned to whomever sent them to the account (probably Chris Clermont).  And YES! I would LOVE to reactivate reactivate my Google Wallet account!!!  Just reactivate the card, that is perfectly fine, still in my ACTUAL wallet.  I would also like explained to me what happened with the City of Los Angeles parking charge on my account, and, right now, that lack of communication is perhaps what disturbs me the most.  If I can have those two issues resolved, I would LOVE to have my Google Wallet back and operational again as a currency product.  Cheers.  
peace & harmony,

Hello there, Elaine.

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Wallet team about the disabling of your wallet account. I saw that you have an ongoing case with our supervisors. I wasn't able to work on it further for some restrictions, but I have re-coordinated it for a faster response.

I really respect your decision. So for now, I've disabled your Google Wallet as you have requested. Your purchasing powers under your businessvoodoo@gmail.com account will not function until you requested for your account to be re enabled.

If you decide that you'd like to reactivate your disabled Google Wallet in the future, please just contact my team.
Hope to hear from you again,
Prince
The Google Wallet Team

When I Woke Up This Morning

I found I was still here.
Still living on Planet Earth.
Still living in the United States of America.
Still living as a woman.
Still a mom.

I have sitting on my desk to mail out today three letters that I finished yesterday. These three letters are my annual contribution to Amnesty International's political prisoner letter writing campaign; and, if you think AI is a leftie organization of anarchists, then you are probably not intelligent or open enough to read my blog, so go away now.

* * * waiting patiently as people go and click away from here * * *

The first letter I wrote was to Leonard Peltier.  My brother's name is Leonard, so you see the superficial connection I made many years ago when his story was the topic of the headline news and part of adult conversations of the time.  To understand the political climate of the time is probably easier to understand today because the hindsight of history brings a broader perspective to the agendized authority and control the United States Government was asserting on "Indian Land."

It is ok to be an American and see what our government has done that is wrong.  Things we just wouldn't imagine a government, our government, could, should or would ever do.  After all, we have our American perspective on how "those" governments act with their people and we view them as wrong, in fact, we sometimes even bomb them because of that belief.  So, we need to really ask ourselves, is it ok that our government is able to do what it has done to Mr. Peltier, indeed all of the prisoners I wrote?  The truth is, its not.  That's the truth.

And perhaps the question to ask isn't "is it ok for our government to do ...." and rather the question to ask is, "would I do that?"  And, if the answer is "no," to be brave enough to ask "what should I do now that I know our government has acted THIS way?"   No one with good conscience and sound mind can say Mr. Peltier, at a minimum, does not deserve a new trial.

It is NOT ok for our government agents, police and authorities to lie.  I do not care what our "Supreme Court" says is acceptable now.  When you are trying to decide what is right and what is wrong in a society, to empower a system that allows falsehoods to present the story, there can be no truth.  There is no line defining truth anymore when both sides use the tools of deceit, deception and falsehood to perpetuate a reality that is criminal in nature.  Perhaps why the criminal elements in our society have infiltrated EVERY aspect of our society and everyone is playing a Character Actor in a criminal suspense reality -- creating that very reality we claim as wrong and undesireable.

That we allow a Supreme Court ruling that approves of the use of such deceit in our society and have given government authorities the ability to lie to achieve their stated goas, is unacceptable.  How can you have the "whole truth" if everyone is playing a game built on false realities?


*  *  * 

Next, I wrote to a letter to my friend Sister Megan Rice.  I had the honor of working with Sister Megan for about four years while living in Las Vegas, Nevada.  It was her mentoring and friendship that really comforted and focused me while I was waiting for my trial.  She gave me perspective and things to think about while I was being prosecuted in the Court, and severely persecuted in public.  She connected me to the spiritual teachings I received in my childhood from my parents; simple ones that had lost the context of their relevance because their complete lack of context to me in the world I found myself in during that time.  I sent her a Christmas note and thanked her for her inspiration and dedication to helping us understand how dangerous nuclear development has been since the beginning and how our #GlobalNuclearProgram damages, in waste and weapons, our human soul as much as it harms our natural environment.

What I love about my relationship with Sister Rice is the ever-expanding space she allowed for common ground.  Coming from my Evangelical Republican background, she was often generous in her patience and always teaching me to dig deeper into the intentions of what appeared to be "good" to find the root of the programs where greed supplanted curiosity and natural development to cause an industry to abandon its human interests in favor of profits.  Even me, a nuclear power enthusiast since I was a child, could no longer support an industry so reckless with the power potential of nuclear energy.  The wrong comes not from the experimentation or the desire to create something, it comes from choices made along the management of that experiment and program that supplants "safety first" with "bottom line dividends."

The use of nuclear weapons, sigh, seriously?!  That nuclear weapons are still being designed, developed and built is the true testament to our insanity as a species.

*  *  * 


Finally, I wrote to Veronza Bowers, Jr.  Mr. Bowers is a Black Panther.   I was completely unaware of his story until I embarked on this project.  Searching for a third person led me to many different political prisoners with stories that were shocking displays of our commitment to usurp the generic notion of human justice in favor of stated political agendas that could never be reached because of our abdication of the fabric upon which our society claims to honor.   But his story stood out because we had a connection.

I was sentenced to 120 days "flat" in jail.  I served 121 days.  A "clerical error" proved to me that not only can they railroad anyone for any reason at any time in our society, but they an also keep you if they so choose.

The truth is, just like Mr. Bowers unofficially extended sentence of imprisonment, it doesn't matter.

It does not matter what the law is.  It does not matter what our understanding of the law is.  It does not matter that there are rules and regulations.  If those who hold the keys and continue to hold the power choose to do so, they can and will do whatever they want despite anything to the contrary in law or common decency.  Once in jail, it doesn't matter.  What is right doesn't matter.  What is wrong doesn't matter.  Its just a choice by those who can exercise those choices to do so at their discretion.  We left the rule of law somewhere in Germany during the Second World War, if we ever really had it; The spirit of the law left our nation so long ago, it may never find its way back into our institutions and society.

His story, like Mr. Peltier's, epitomize for me the fundamental root problem in our nation and how we operate and function on every single level.  The truth is, there is no common law.  The underlying principle upon which our founding fathers based and constructed every single principle we hold to be self-evident and fundamental, has been released from our system and thoughts so completely, Stalin would have been proud.
