Coming up:
If I understand correctly, attorney Christine Long, a barratry specialist at Berliner-Cohen, has demanded, as part of civil discovery, that I list the things which I know about her.
For example:
* The nature of her past cases (in fact, I've
pulled all of them)
* Family history
* How Christine's willingness to commit prosecutable crimes
may have been shaped by her experiences
* Assets that might be seized in legal actions related to possible
crimes on Christine's part
* Date of Birth, Social Security Number, etc.
It's a broad demand but I plan to cooperate to the extent possible. I'll list what I know, for legitimate and reasonable purposes, on a public page and send Christine the link.
Fun settlement PDFS:
From March 2024 to May 2024, I had three settlement letters delivered to attorney Christine Long [in some cases indirectly] by process server.
The March to May 2024 letters are fun in some respects. The fun comes from the fact that a barratry troll had gone out on a limb and the limb had cracked.
I was supposed to be terrified of a Three Stooges fool. Pro Tip: I wasn't terrified. You shouldn't be terrified of a bullying attorney either. Attorneys, even the dullards, can destroy your life just as rattlesnakes can. However, it's possible to turn a rattlesnake into a rattlesnack.
The 1st letter in this set, dated March 11, 2024, spelled out to Christine Long that she was incompetent and faced embarrassment if she didn't STFU and GTFO. Was this a fair assessment? Judge for yourself. To read or download the 1st letter in PDF format, click here.
A few weeks later, Christine Long unexpectedly notified one of my attorneys, Douglas Vining, that she and her clients had decided to cave. This was apparently verbal in a phone call but I'm not sure.
I responded to Christine in a 2nd letter dated April 11, 2024. This was one month to the day after the first letter. The 2nd letter was handed by a process server to a man who give his name as Raul or similar spelling.
Raul is believed to be Raul Silva, who is believed to be Christine Long's significant other, but none of this is confirmed. None of this is, either, to use Christine's words, “intimate personal secrets.” Raul's involvement, for example, is in process server records. As other things will be in Court records and consequently in Google if Christine chooses to drag this out.

More weeks passed. Christine then demanded to know if I was going to agree to settle. She didn't seem to have read the 2nd letter. So, a process server delivered a 3rd letter on my behalf. The 3rd letter is simple, but I gather that Christine lacks the 5th Grade skills needed to understand it.

Notes after February 08, 2024 hearing:
1) Well, *that* was weird.
On Thursday, February 08, 2024, I went in person to Court for the 4th and final time in the WVRO cases since October 2023. This was the big one.
In January, we did direct exam of me and argued a fees motion. Today was to be finishing direct exam, letting Christine Long cross-exam me, and then hopefully finding out the end of this part of the story.
Direct exam, which I largely wrote myself, more or less erased Christine Long's case against me. To come back, she needed to do a decent job of cross-exam and somehow create the impression of workplace and violence without the use of any actual allegations or evidence.
She wasn't up to it. Neither my primary WVRO attorney nor I have ever seen anything like it. Long is polished if you question her. She just makes sh*t up and says it with a straight face. But... God, what a klutz in cross-exam.
The Court ruled for me on the WVRO, on the second WVRO, and on the fees motion, and even tried to discourage Long from pursuing a CHRO, which she'd threatened to use as a fallback option.
I'm not out of the woods. Long still has a defamation action. But, really, it's time for her to slither away.
It's time, too, for the next formal update of this website. I'll need to post more about the hearings and put the scattered bits and pieces of the website into their proper places. Ideally this should be done in March.
2) To read the Mark Hashimi divorce papers, use the link below. The papers confirm that I had a reason to believe Mark Hashimi and Campos were divorced and therefore a reason to believe Campos would be interested in communication.
Click here for Hashimi-Campos divorce papers
Update: I forgot to mention that -- if I remember correctly -- Ms. Campos cited a fear that Kamal Sayed Hashimi aka Mark Hashimi was going to steal her money as one of her primary concerns. I'm falling asleep but I'll double-check this soon.
3) Here is a link to Sam Pawar's original statement, not an edit by me. Sam wrote it long before he met me and I can show each mail server that it traversed to get from him to me:
One take-away is that Sam seems to be claiming that “Mark” is as racist as Naqib Halimi is and has boasted about hate speech towards a Black. Read the statement and tell me if I'm interpreting it right. I'm assuming that “GM” means the General Manager aka Kamal Sayed Hashimi.
"aflong" is short for "awkward for Long".
4) “Mark” Hashimi has said that sales license photos I'd posted proved I'd visited his dealership in person. I.e., he said, I must have photo'd the photos. So, here's the email in which Sam Pawar, who “Mark” pretends to have forgotten, sent me the license photos:
5) Christine Long lied on the stand in November. She suggested that Sam Pawar had tearfully begged her to make me stop saying bad things about that nice company Fremont-Toyota. But, wait, as the infomercials used to say, there's more. I've found the videos that Sam made two years ago. Here's a video in which Sam Pawar accuses Fremont-Toyota of “millions and millions” of dollars in fraud.
If the MP4 doesn't play for you, please let me know. Or try the MOV instead but that copy might only work on phones.
For more videos, see the new videos page at this link.
6) In one more odd part, on November 28, 2023, Christine Long went after my most obscure exhibit with an attack that was difficult to follow. She seemed to be alleging that the exhibit had been faked.
Long's focus on such a minor exhibit has led me to reassess its importance. Here is a screenshot version, one that can be proved to be genuine:
Brian Martin didn't even say who “she” is here. And “she” and Brian didn't want to talk publicly about why, exactly, Brian felt that he'd be “f*cked” if he talked about the conversation.
So, this exhibit probably couldn't have been used despite its potential significance.
However, Christine Long wants to make an issue of these text messages now. So, as this is Ms. Long's decision, the “she” in the messages, according to Brian Martin, is Rachel Ghiringhelli, an ex-employee of Fremont-Toyota. I've explained elsewhere what Brian said that Rachel's call to him was about.
I didn't believe Rachel G.'s allegations against “Mark” Hashimi for 1.5 years. I'm not sure that I believe any of it now. But I'm starting to wonder if the energy and money that the other side is pouring into a quest for a gag order is about more than one thing.
7) We'll come back to the other parts. Lots of oddness to go around. They're apparently going to focus on the fact that I contacted “Mark” Hashimi's wife. But I'd thought that Mark Hashimi and Ms. Campos had divorced. There was a divorce action.

They're trying for a lifetime gag order.

24 hours is fine, but voicemail hasn't been set up.
I'm old and autistic. I've worked with code and data since 1978. I've finished successful projects for the DTIC, UK-NCIS after 9/11, and the military through Northrop-Grumman. I was the lead developer for 1/2 of the U.S. Vote one year. Actually, I was probably the sole developer that year.
Fremont-Toyota, an auto dealer, and Berliner-Cohen, a Big Law firm, hit me with three lawsuits nearly two years ago. They're demanding a lifetime gag order to bar me from saying the “names” of anybody involved.
The issues include ethnic hatred, mass fraud, adult-child sexual conduct, an infant kidnapping, autism, religion, and Fox TV's former Reality P.I. (who they also sued). It seems a little unusual.
They've said that Blacks and others are “smelly”. Ethnic hatred is wrong. But they say I'm the ethnic hatred person and I can't be allowed to talk about the legal cases.
The cases have continued for two years. Many people deal with worse things. I had one friend left from the past. 50 years ago. Somehow, I'm old now. Ron, Twisted Time, lived with level 10 pain for 15 years before it took him. Man with no shoes meets man with no feet.
But, fear on a daily basis, legal bills to wipe out life savings, people who keep coming at you, spittle flying, two years of this in early old age. Sure, why not.
If something happens to one person, that and 50 cents won't buy a newspaper. Do newspapers still exist? The part that I'd like people to care about is the gag order.
It isn't supposed to be possible for people to be able to pull down the shades to hide things just because they have money. I'm asking readers to think about the implications of gag orders.
The text number is, again: 650-629-5185
Regards, Robert (the Old Coder)
Here's the gag order:
Note: This is just one of two gag orders that attorney Christine Long is trying for. We'll document the other one when we see it.
First, Christine Long states:
“Respondents are not allowed to refer to Petitioners or their employees as rapists, Jihadis, muslim terrorist, a terrorist cell organization, crime ring, Afghan terrorists or other such hate speech.”
This might sound reasonable. However, it's just an attempt to set things up for the parts below that Christine Long hopes to sneak in. Most of what Christine is implying here never happened.
I referred to attorney Christine Long of Berliner-Cohen herself as “a rapist of an attorney”. Nobody else. This was an assessment of Christine's own character and conduct.
Christine Long is an attorney who other attorneys consider to be unethical. She's engaged in multiple conduct violations. I'm entitled to hold the opinion that I've stated and to believe that others will agree with the use of the word “rapist”.
More importantly, Christine Long's clients at Fremont-Toyota engaged in hate speech against minorities such as “Mother F*cker you can't call us brother because you aren't Muslim”.
The “you aren't Muslim” statement, by the way, was made by a client of Christine's named Naqib U. Halimi. You can see a reference to Mr. Halimi's statement in the EEOC complaint at this link.
The “you aren't Muslim” statement is, in and of itself, one of the definitions of Jihadi. See Simple Wikipedia at this link. Note: Christine Long has mis-cited quotes from Wikipedia as the basis for a number of allegations against me.
Christine Long is the attorney for a hate-speech group. But she hopes to turn around that allegation by mis-citing my use of a word that I used accurately in context.
Nothing else that Christine Long refers to in the demand pasted further up is cited accurately.
Christine Long of Berliner-Cohen goes on to demand:
“Respondent is not allowed to publish on any website or in any manner the personal information of Petitioners or their employees including their home address, personal phone numbers, personal emails, names of relations and children, social security numbers or any other identifying information.”
This might sound reasonable as well. However, note the part about “any other identifying information”. This would include names.
Long has demanded for a year that I agree never to state the “names” of anybody on her side. The goal is to prevent me from writing about these cases or even mentioning the mass fraud and hate speech at Fremont-Toyota.
This is actually impossible to order because I can't be prevented from distributing the pleadings. Even if that is possible, I can distribute the gag order itself.
A book about these cases is going to be completed. I don't believe it can be stopped. However, Christine Long of Berliner Cohen is well-funded. She'll pull out all of the stops.
If a gag order of this type is issued, I'll distribute the gag order itself and work things out from there. But Long will then try to put me in jail for doing what I'll still have a right to do.
Finally, the proposed gag order includes this paragraph:
“Respondent is allowed to post on websites that do not mislead the public as to the author or origin facts relating to Mr. Martin's purchase of a vehicle or other matters, so long as the postings do not contain any defamatory statements, invade privacy rights, and use name and likeness of Petitioners' employees.”
Long is asking the Court here to block, a priori, any statements about mass fraud and hatred of minorities and Long's own conduct violations. The response of attorneys who have commented so far is “Nope”.
Additionally, the cases aren't about P.I. Brian Martin's statement.
The cases are about the statement that Christine Long is trying to block right in the part quoted above, the statement of an ex-employee named Sam Pawar who came forward to tell the truth about hate speech at Fremont-Toyota in Fremont, CA.
I'd like my life back after two years. My health isn't ideal. I'd like to be useful in the years that are left. But these people won't go away no matter what I agree to.
They're going to try to seize the last of my life savings in December. The idea is that I'm not supposed to be able to afford Internet to write about this.
Your advice is requested.
History of the Cases:
01) In December 2020, a P.I. named Brian Martin bought a truck from Fremont-Toyota in the S.F. Bay Area.
02) The P.I. suspected fraud. He asked me to look into it. I found fraud. In mid-2021, I posted the P.I.'s statement online. The dealership ignored that.
03) In December 2021, one of Fremont-Toyota's ex-employees, Sam Pawar, came forward. Sam reported mass fraud and ethnic hatred. He'd filed an EEOC complaint.
04) I posted Sam's statement online. Fremont-Toyota immediately sued Brian and me for allegedly planning to kill its employees.
05) An ex-employee named Rachel Ghiringhelli then phoned Brian Martin. Rachel talked for half an hour about sexual harassment by the dealership's general manager Mark Hashimi. Brian and I didn't know what to make of this.
06) I hadn't been served. We only knew about the action against Brian. So, I wrote to the other side to argue that there was no case.
07) They filed two more lawsuits against me. This was in Winter 2022.
08) They're pretending that Sam Pawar doesn't exist; that this is only about Brian Martin's truck purchase. But they threatened Sam Pawar for months. They made a deal with Sam's attorney. Sam was ordered to sign a pre-written false statement, but he refused.
09) Opposing Counsel Christine Long has misused an infant kidnapping and adult-child sexual situation as part of all of this.
10) The demand is that I be gagged for a lifetime. They can actually do that in 1 of the 3 cases.

02 | Details PDF | This link goes to a PDF version of the details web page. The PDF is 25 pages. |
03 | Brian Martin's story. |
The gag-order cases started when a friend named Brian Martin,
Fox TV's former Reality P.I., asked
me to look at possible fraud in a December 2020 truck purchase.
I found fraud and posted a statement for Brian. It's a story that all car buyers should read. Brian's story is at this link. |
04 | Sam Pawar's story | An ex-employee of the dealership saw Brian Martin's story and came forward in December 2021. He was named Sam Pawar. Sam's story is included in the overview mentioned in 01 above. It can be read separately with additional material at this link. |
05 | Trial Brief PDF | The trial brief for 2 of the 3 legal cases is finished. This link goes to the trial brief in PDF format. |

07 | Settlement email | Settlement discussions are usually secret. This site treats the discussions as public. This link takes you behind the scenes. |
08 | More responses to allegations | The overview document summarizes responses but this link goes into more details. |
09 | Martin-Hashimi email thread |
This link
goes to email between Brian Martin and Kamal Sayed
Hashimi.
In an odd side note, Kamal Sayed claimed that the photo of him used in the email thread had been taken in person by RJK at Fremont-Toyota. In fact, it was Kamal Sayed Hashimi's LinkedIn profile photo. |
10 | Logan's statement |
I talked about the boy's statement at
this link
and about a related infant kidnapping.
Christine Long has filed the fact that I reported the kidnapping to the FBI and disclosed the mistreatment of Logan as allegations against me. Ms. Long's methodology is noise and abuse. It's difficult to understand how this is acceptable. |
11 | Personal | This link goes to a page that talks a little about my life. |
12 | Old home page |
RJK is autistic. For a year, this site had a very long home page
in which RJK tried to connect to normals using humor and irony. It
was probably a bust.
