pay a $ 20,000 uniust Judgment bv Oc

2. "Hind sight tells me now that this is when I should have pressed them and initiated eviction if
they refused.I could have saved myself years of anguish tens of thousands of dollars Richard,
well, maybe, but I could never have guessed what they really had in mind." (10:56)
3. ooWhen they did appear for the final date, they feigned that they were still interested in
purchasing the West half of the property. Of course they knew there was no way the Church
was going to award them half of the property for free on a technicality. They did default on the
Church Mediated agreement." (12:08) Richard Rodriguez, his partner in the clip then asks
Hoffman: o'What did they do next?" (12:10) Hoffman answers: ooWell myAhab and Jczabcl
and I call them Ahab and Jezabel here because it takes me back to that biblical story where
Ahab looked over his fence and saw his Neighbors vineyard and he wanted it for his own
garden and his neighbor wouldn't sell it to him, so he went crying to his wife Jezabel, now
they were the King and Queen of Israel, so Jezabel said don't worry about it honey, I got it all
in hand, and she used the law to convict the owner of the property of blasphemy had him
stoned to death, and she took the property and gave it to her husband Ahab . But fortunately,
my Ahab and Jezabel aren't king and queen of anything , ok (laughing) so, I don't have to
worry for my life, I don't think, at least I hope not. Um, anyway, my Ahab and Jczabcl had a
different tactic in mind than having it mediate by the Church. They would take the entire
property from us by this technicality of state law, in her own words from the transcript of our
eviction action the California law is very clear on that, and the Civil Code is, when a good faith
payment is tendered and rejected, it is a debt forgiven, when I tried to refund their monep and
canceled the note, according to her understanding I gave them the property, and I have
discovered that that was their intent the whole time they stayed on the property, because the
property and family because information from our property and family trust files that I kept
in my office and went missing from my office about two thousand six or seven, showcd up in
some of their pleadings and there's no other way they could have had that information unless
they took those files. But I have to admit, I was totally clueless, until they showcd thcir

hostility." (14:22)
4. "When I insisted that the electrician he hired cease and desist Mr. G assaulted me knocking
me down in the gateway and, and when I tried to stand back up he hit me with the gate again
knocking me down in the gravel approach. I then called the Sheriff notified him that he could
not disconnect my house from the service. His workers, they didn't see anything, and Mr. (i.
said I swung at him first. So as far as an assault charge it was his word against mine. Ilut for
me that was the last straw, Richard, because the church mediation has no cnforccmcnt arm I
then decided to file an eviction suit. (15:44)

did that eviction go ?" Hoffman: " ..".,."" they successfully muddied the
waters so much that the Judge decided to deny relief on a technicalit5r,"..."

5. Richard stated: 'oHow

6.

"I

was no threat to them, contrarily Mr. G had actually assaulted me."

7. ('They now use the secured possession of the south 120 feet of my property as a launching pad
from which to exdcute their plan to destrqy me, my family and my livelihood in order to take
the property away from us. Uh their plan was to have me thrown in jail, on gun charges
then move into my house, I'd be in jail,I'd get out of jail, and they'd be in my house, what

could I do, I'd have to try to go at law to get 'em, but I would be destitute because all mv work
is here on the property, and you know,I need my equipment and my and for my internet
business. I'd have nothing you know but this was their plan, and they told this to a neighbor,
and when the neighbor, of course they put it in friendly terms, what a scoundrel I was, and how
they had a right to do these things to me, when a neighbor asked them where my family, thev
coldly replied that they can live in a motel, so I'd get out of jailr l'd be in a motel, my children
would be in foster care, and we would be destitute, with nothing on the street, nice people hu ?
When they asked me to take them in, wow, thatrs heavy ." (21235)
8. Richard Rodriguez asks: "So what's happened during the three years ?" Hoffman says:
* Well in the meantime they had sabotaged my phone and DSL lines finally sevcring thom
completely then they destroyed my electric service causing me to have an almost one month
lapse in service this in an attempt to destroy us financially so that we could no longer afford to
fight them in Court. They \ilere successful. I lost all my syndicated production accounts simply
because I could not provide reliable service. And how this works, is I produced radio programs
on the internet and then they went out to Nation wide to short wave and AM FM affiliates and
I got all the advertising when I can no longer provide those accounts I didn't get the advertising
anymore, so I couldntt still air the broadcast, but you know, so when I lost themo because I
couldn't provide reliable service, with them went most of my earnings, oh, my meager savings
were exhausted quickly I notified my Lawyer in January of 2013 that I could no longer afford
to pay him anything. He told me that he would finish the quiet title only, as it was unlikely that
the court would allow him to drop the case anyway, ah, we are now surviving on about $1000
dollars per month in donations per programs that I don't get paid for and don't have national
syndication, so it's all donation based. Ah, with the downturn in the economy, to me it seems
impossible to replace the accounts I lost.o'
9. Richard says: "So how did the new Judge work out ?" Hoffman says: '6Well, had a history with
him, um, if we go back to the incident where they cut off the electricity because we had mutual
restraining Orders, he had violated the restraining order on several occasions. Um, we iust
didn't bother,like, when he cut the phone lines, finally and all the sabotage, we can't prove
these things, you know, because we had no witnesses, and ah, a restraining orders, you know,
contempt of court on a restraining order is quasi criminal, so the burden of proof is absolute
you have to have witnesses, so we couldnrt do anything, when he cut the electricity ol'1, the
circumstances arose where he would not allow us, he would not leave the location where my
utilities came into the property, so we got an emergency hearing, you know you can get, in a
day or so, before this same Judge, the new Judge on the case, and he denied us, uh, to order
Mr. Gillespie to refrain from interfering getting our a, restoring, allowing us to restore, our
electric service so he denied that, he didn't seem to care you know, that me, my adult retarded
son, my daughter, and a, you were here at that time, you came to the property just a month
before that, and he didn't seem to mind that we went a month without electricity because we
told him that it would be a month or more, because that's what SC was telling me beforc thcy
can schedule, to retrench the service, 400 feet down the road to install new service, in front of
the house, then connect us up, ok, um, so, anyway, he denied that, so that was my history with

that Judge."
10.

lloffman stated:"'But uh, nope, thatrs ngt what happened, um, he decided, this new Judge
decidedo balancing the equities meant that I would pay 80 per cent of all electricity bills
incurred by them for the entire ten year period, they would get 15 thousand for work they

never did on our property, which supposedly added value. Ah, they would only pay is 250 pcr
month for rent, but we would get nothing for damages, legal expenses, and all of our loses. So
this when it was all balanced out, put us into debt to them, for almost twenty thousand dollars,
here, the decision, was that, my family, we were the iniured party, yet, we had to pay them
twenty thousand dollars, for the privilege of being iniured by them. So now what could I
do? So now I have ninety days to come up with the money, before they begin legal action, to
force sale of home, in order to collect on that, which I'm sure they will do, because they have
filed at least six other law suits against me, my lawyer, other family members, and even
business associates are named as co-defendants in these law suits.'o Richard statcs: "Sounds
like they are intent on continuing the campaign, and do you think the first Judge would have
seen things differently ? Nicklas: "Ya,I believe the first.Iudge would havc rcndcrcd an
cntirely different decision, um, unfortunately, you know, they wore him out, with I think fivc
recusals, and a, and for what ever reason I can't blame him for not wanting to continuc with
the case, I didn't want to continue, you know, yes I believe he would havc rcndcrcd an cntircly
different decision, but an appeal would mean more years in court, morc in lcgal fccs, than thc
twenty thousand dollar Judgment against us."
11..

Hoffman stated: "I hope we can raise the money by telling people our story, um, any extra
donations, we collect will go to legal accounting and other loses, because the loses havc already
been about forty thousand in actual out of pocket loses, including legal and damages that
wefve incurred to this time, and add to that the twenfy thousand we have to pay themo thats
sixfy thousand dollars total loss, that was what they wanted to steal from me in the beginning,
and so they have damaged me that much, but they still want the property. its amazing, but I
just don't understand how they justiff all this in their mind, uh, you know this is the short
version of the story. These people have caused so much anguish and distress to all of us
if you can only give a few dollars, please help us,I, I pray that, you never have to, anyone out
there, that you never have to, you never have such friends in your life that could betray you as
these people have us, if anyone wants the long version perhaps it would make a good human
interest, or a terror movie of a sort, ah I have some good ideas atrout that too, ah, please
contact us for further details and proof, and thank you Richard for being here with me.o'

had a written agreement for that, and he broke the agreement. But he decided to set me up
set up circumstances whereby he could steal the property from us on a technicality.".."But I
did ask them in 2009 to leave the properfy, and thats when they let their hostilities bc known
against me and my family and they've done everything they could to, ah, destroy me and my
family, first Amendment Radio.net and all of my work, in order to, ah, you know cripple us
financially, so they could have their way with us in court, so call them my Ahab and Jezabel"
..."" So in the same way, this man's wife , because she's a legal activist and you know shc

12. Hoffman states

does,

what a you call t]rat.. legal work"...." "and she decided that, um, they could build a case, even
if they had to build it from scratch, by fqlsiffing evidence and other things, which they
did to set me up for, to use a, um, what you call it, a technicality of lawn to steal the property
from me, and the technicality of law, works like this"r..."" lf someone sells you a piece of

property and you begin to make payments on the property for a year, however if the person
selling it decides that they want the property back, because the railroads coming through,
right, they realize, oh,I made a mistake, the railroads coming through, now this property's
going to be worth ten times what it was, so they refuse to take payments, so they can foreclose
on you, so that's what the technicality is in the law for, so, she thought she would fabricatc
evidence, in order to take advantage of this technicality so that they could take the property
from me, right, and that would be evil, if someone sold you a piece of property and they camc
back after you made a year or ten years of payments on it, and refuse to take payments
because then it says, if they refuse to take payments, then that means that the debt is forgiven,
under that circumstance, rightt' Richard says: t'thats correct "Nicklas says: "So they tried to
fabricate evidence and build a case but it didn't work, but they dragged us through the court
by misusing and abusing court procedure., and rules, ah for more than, well it's been five years
now. They also misused the court and procedures to maintain possession of the south l2ll fcet
of my properfy so that they could launch their campaign to destroy me, they've done a lot of
evil things to me." (17:08) "These are some of the things, and worse things they've done, you
know, cutting, sabotaging our internet connection, and phone lines, continually, over a couple
year period, finally severing them completely, so that we were without service, almost a wcek
before the telephone company came out quickly and retrenched 600 feet down the road to my
studio here, and replaced my lines, now I have back up cable internet too, so I'm very secure
now, in my connection, and a keeping my work going. They also continually messed with my
electricity, shutting it off. Because my services were brought in at the corner of the property
closest to where the services were and they went underground to my house from there so
because they had possession, absolute possession of that portion given to them by misusc of the
court system um, they were able to harass us in that way and sabotage, and then they finally
uh, cut off our electricity all together, about a month after you arrived on the property."..".."
(22:40\ 66I spied a bucket truck out there, with electrician for southern California Edison
technician", do you remember what he said ?" Richard: tt He said your power got shut oI1,
discontinued".. Nicklas stated: " Yao the power got discontinued, he shut it off because of non
payment of the power bill, because these people had taken over and had possession of my
property they also had control thru a fictitious entity of the electric utilities service " (12:34).
And they thought it also made their case look better because then they could get reimbursed
and have some kind of claim against me. " (23:55)

with a technicality whereby they

were going to steal the property from me. 'o (32:28) " Then they started putting together ,

to it, ah even though, the evidence was contrary, because you know, and that's the advantage
that the evil have over us, in the world, is that they are allowed to bare false witness against

That's right if they repent of the evil they've done, and truly repent turn their lives around and said
we were led astray ah, whatever, that would be probably the best miracle so perhaps all of you can,
when you're praying for me and my ranch, and God to smitetem, father, so we would like to see
them repent, that would be the best thing of all, because at one time they at least, pretended to be
my friends you know, I knew they pretended for a long time, while they were making other plans
(36:18) At 38:38 Nicklas stated "They made false accusations against me and then when I went into
it, it was the same Judge that took over the case during the last ten percent and turned thc wholc
thing around, and awarded the restraining order, in California if you get a restraining Order you
lose your second amendment gun Rights, you have none, and thats why they went about to build
gun charges against me, because they knew I had formerly at one time had a twenty two caliber
rifle, that I was supposed to have had and then see my posse$sion would bring in Federal gun
charges"..." and I would definitely go to jail, and that was what they were trying to construct
against me on the gun charges they didn't just try once, they tried twice, and they failed twicc."

Iloffman said: *They said I shot not with a bee bee gun, but with a high powered pellct gun,
Brent Wade, that belonged to you, that you had on, that I wouldn't allow you to have on my
ranch so you pu! it on consignment. So they constructed a story of me using that pcllet rifle and
shooting a womhn in the face with it. T\ey actually got a woman to sign a complaint and lie,
saying that it actually happened, but it never happened. Just look at what they did with the
quiet title putting it off for four years, so this is the diabolical plan that these people tried to

execute against me, and why it took so long not to mention using RICO statutes." Thev tricd
numerous times to get the County Prosecutor to come after me, and the City Prosecutor, of the
local town to come after me, and the City prosecutor, of the local town to come after mc, thcy
had priorities because they couldn't keep their story straight and you know, and they had no
evidence that I was involved in any criminal activity, I mean, because I don't have any priors, I'vc
never been arrested in my life, never been charged with a crime kind of difficult to go from
there, to get me as the God father of racketeering, as the Godfather of Tulare County. I don't
think the County Prosecutor was buying it , so these are the kind of attacks, I'm iust glad that
Satan was using these weaker people against me, didn't have any big timc Jesuit, you know

20. Hoffman says: "another thing I found out, you know how Paypal, shut us down, and I had to
refund all of the help, the funds that people were, giving, um I found out that, they complainedo
because their lawyer brought up the page in the conference room there when they were grilling
me and when I told them, cause he says well where is this money at, and I told him that it got
shut down and I had to refund all those funds, and immediately I know by looking at their
face, uh, faces, that they had complained, and had the thing shut down, didn't quitc put it
together before that, yao it was cause they accepted that immediately without question, they
already knew it, that's what I discovered and that they were responsible fbr shutting down thc
go fund me thing that we had going there at, like I said I had to refund most of those, all of the
ones that came from pay pal, I had to refund, and I don't think I've got, got a few of those back
so I do have a little bit of money a couple thousand dollars put up for this, that people gave
itrs still sitting there but its nol gonna be enough , so as soon as this thing is done we'll see
whatrs left and hopefully werll get a Judgment against them but its unlikely like I said the
Judge seems very biased but if he does his true job, I think that I have damages coming against
them, that we couldn't get the Quiet Title Equity thing"..."it doesn't mean I wouldn't rathcr
have been before the other Judge, which they recused 3 or 4 timcs, to stall, and that.ludge
finally died, that's one of the reasons he became, he had terminal canccr and hc dicd, and so
this the new judge also the head Judge, of the whole coutrt house, picked up thc casc evcn
though the original Judge had found us to be the injured party, some how they got rcwardcd
for injuring us, and now we have to pay them doesn't make sense, but when you undcrstand,
that their effort to fragment the case by the recusals and delays, and finally getting anothcr
Judge, which was what they hoped fon but he had to die because the rccusals didn't work, and
uh it fractured the case, so much that, ya, they were able to get something with the new
Judge that the other the original Judge would ncver have given them, cause hc alrcady statcd
