San Francisco News conference: Presidential candidate Andy Martin links future earthquake aid to California’s support for sanctuary cities

GOP presidential candidate Andy Martin will hold a bifurcated news conference in San Francisco today, November 27th, to warn that California’s continuing support for sanctuary cities endangers future congressional support in the event of a natural disaster such as an earthquake. “The murder of Kate Steinle was a turning point in national attitudes towards California,” Andy says. “Disaster relief will be denied if California continues to defy American values and American law.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Attention, Business, National, Political and daybook/assignment editors

Announcement of San Francisco news conference today, Friday, November 27

GOP presidential candidate Andy Martin says that California’s support for sanctuary cities could lead to denial of future earthquake aid

Andy says California’s support for sanctuary cities and flouting of federal law will inevitably curtail federal assistance in the event of a natural disaster

Andy says, “Californians need to decide whether they are part of one nation, with a national policy on immigration, or whether California is a rump republic that risks abandonment the next time the state needs national support after a natural disaster”

“Retaliation for California’s defiance is inevitable,” Andy says; “The American people are fed up with California’s support for illegal immigration and similar idiocy”

(San Francisco) (November 27, 2015) Republican presidential candidate Andy Martin will hold a bifurcated San Francisco news conference today, November 27th to suggest that continued California support for sanctuary cities will inevitably lead to denial of federal aid in the event of a natural disaster such as a major earthquake.

“You can’t be part of a nation and still defy the nation,” Andy says. “The murder of Kate Steinle by someone who had repeatedly violated federal law, and who was protected as a fugitive by San Francisco authorities, marks a turning point in the national attitudes toward California’s support for sanctuary cities.

“Part of nationhood is that we stick up for each other, not that we stab each other in the back. Today California leaders are burning bridges to the American people, not building them. If California authorities continue to defy the will of congress it is inevitable that in the event of a future disaster, federal aid either will not be forthcoming or it will be conditioned on compliance with onerous conditions such as a prior and complete end to sanctuary cities and other legally deviant behavior by the State of California.

“Why should Americans pitch in to help California in an hour of need when the state blatantly defies federal law and endangers every American by serving as a pipeline or conduct for the metastasis of illegal immigration?

“There will come a day when the People of California will need the rest of the country and the rest of the country may not be there for them. I am sure first aid will be made available, but long term aid? Doubtful. Congress will not appropriate funds to reward a state that has defied federal laws.

“Today the choice may seem abstract or unlikely; tomorrow a natural disaster could render the gap between the rest of America and California even deeper than gashes in the earth left by an earthquake,” Andy suggests. “If California wants to continue to be a haven for illegal immigration that is a choice which could have dire consequences in the future.”

“It may sound unusual to predict a future denial of earthquake assistance as payback for California’s defiance of American law and support for sanctuary cities, but tomorrow my views will be the mainstream of presidential politics.”

GOP presidential candidate Andy Martin will hold a news conference in San Francisco today, November 27th, to call for a federal grand jury investigation of H1B visa abuses. He says Silicon Valley executives should go to jail, and California as a whole is a focal point of H1B visa abuses.

GOP presidential candidate Andy Martin calls for a federal grand jury probe of H1B visa abuses by Silicon Valley

Andy also says President Obama should suspend all H1B visa processing until the program is reworked and abuses are ended

Andy says Mitt Romney had a golden opportunity to win the White House by seeking economic justice for American workers; Romney fumbled his presidential ambitions in Freeport, Illinois

(San Francisco) (November 27, 2015) Republican presidential candidate Andy Martin will hold a San Francisco news conference today, November 27th to call on the Obama Administration Justice Department to open a criminal probe of H1B visa abuses. “Silicon Valley is ‘ground zero’ for H1B visa abuses,” Andy charges. “But corporate greed leading to H1B visa corruption is widespread nationally, including abuses by firms such as Disney and other iconic household names.

“The original concept behind the H1B program was a sound one,” Andy says. “Americans live and compete in a worldwide economic marketplace. We need to attract the greatest talent and the best minds on a global basis. But what was a sound concept in theory has become just another corporate abuse. Big companies have been using H1B visas to displace American workers, and to export their jobs to India and China. This corporate greed is disgraceful.

“But while greed may not be a ‘crime,’ visa fraud is a crime. Operating H1B visa programs under false pretenses is clearly a proper subject for a federal grand jury investigation. I believe this probe should be initiated in the Northern District of California. Maybe if we send some Silicon Valley executives to jail for visa abuses others will get the message. The State of California as a whole is a center of H1B visa corruption.

“We are encouraging young Americans to obtain ‘STEM’ educations, and then making it impossible for them to obtain jobs.

“Once again, we find the fingerprints of both political parties on visa abuses. Republicans and Democrats profit from contributions by firms that are violating H1B visa procedures and profiting from the export of our jobs to Asia.

“Mitt Romney would be president today if he had listened to me and made a pilgrimage to Freeport, Illinois to save the jobs of Sensata Technologies workers from the blood-sucking greed of his corporate partners (please see link below). Romney ignored the opportunity, and Americans ignored his corporatocry campaign. In the Sensata case, H1B was used to bring in workers to steal American know-how and production knowledge, so that a world class facility in Illinois could be exported lock, stock and barrel to China. Romney had a choice between money and the public trust; Romney chose cash and forfeited the White House to Obama for another term.

“If you want to know why American workers are flocking to Donald Trump it is because he has the biggest megaphone to attack corporate abuses. I don’t have Trump’s megaphone but my grasp of the economics of H1B visa abuses and other self-destructive trade policies that are throwing Americans out of work is more comprehensive.

“Today it may sound unusual to call for a criminal probe of the H1B program, and a suspension of all H1B visa processing until reforms are made. Tomorrow my views will be the mainstream of presidential politics.”

(San Francisco, CA) (November 27, 2015) Dear American:

Greetings from California.

I have been campaigning on the West Coast. In the meantime the front runners for the GOP presidential nomination, Donald Trump and Ben Carson, have been creating media flare-ups. I thought you might appreciate some brief reaction from me. Although I am not going to win the nomination, it is rapidly becoming evident that I am the “adult” candidate in the race, i.e. a candidate with the media experience and knowledge of the issues to avoid rookie mistakes, as well as not being a whiner about my lowly standing in the polls. If I am not quite a happy warrior I am at least a sensible one.

1. Ben Carson’s faithless “advisers”

Dr. Ben Carson was attacked by some of his own “advisers,” who told the media Carson did not understand foreign affairs. Carson was the victim of a stab in the back. Advisers are not supposed to attack their candidate and they are certainly not supposed to go public with their criticisms of a candidate. I think it is true that Carson does not have deep experience with foreign policy issues.

By comparison, while I was traveling around the world on various assignments over the decades, Carson was performing surgery. He was concentrating on his life-saving occupation. Few doctors have much spare time to devote to in depth study of political issues and foreign policy controversies. So while Dr. Carson is a highly intelligent man, and probably a quick learner as he states, he is still on a learning curve about foreign policy.

Carson is one of the finest individuals to seek the presidency in my lifetime. Whether his experience qualifies him to be president is a judgment that will have to evolve over the coming months.

2. Donald Trump’s “Muslim” data base

The liberal media are at war with Donald Trump but, surprisingly, Trump does not have all of his defenses engaged. Trump is an experienced media personality. But he is not an experienced candidate. There is a vast difference between the two. Politicians survive in office for decades because their guard is always up. Trump’s guard is not up.

I have watched the “Muslim data base” tapes several times. It is clear to me that Trump thought he was being asked about a database of illegal immigrants or Syrian refugees. Trump was briskly walking along a rope line. He should have known better than to answer a “rope line” question. Experienced politicians seldom do that, precisely because of the predicament Trump is now in: the potential for misunderstanding. Trump answered the same question moments later and made it clear he was speaking about illegals. Looked at in context, the accusation that Trump advocated a "Muslim data base" is absurd. But the media were able to create a firestorm over the false claim Trump had endorsed a “Muslim data base.”

Is it any wonder most Americans don’t trust the media?

Nevertheless, if Trump wants to become president he will have to become more disciplined in responding to shouted questions along rope lines and during informal situations. My best advice: ignore such questions.

3. Trump and the 9/11 anti-American “celebrations” in New Jersey

Trump has generated the most controversy with claims that he watched TV of anti-Americans on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River celebrating as the World Trade Center collapsed on 9/11.

First, 9/11 is now fourteen (14) years in the past. We are dealing with history. Tens of millions of Americans have no recollection of the events of that day. Second, even people who lived through 9/11 were not glued to their TV sets. Many people saw only snippets of the actual coverage. Third, we are learning more and more about the failures of memory under stressful and confusing conditions. As a lawyer, I have reviewed the developing understandings of memory, recollection, eyewitness identification, event confusion and just plain memory failure.

I don’t know what Trump saw on TV, but I know what I saw. Or I think I know. Truth be told, the first time I heard Trump’s claims I thought I remembered seeing similar anti-American celebrations. I watched the attacks from a tower in midtown, so I wasn’t watching TV continuously. But with the gauze of memory and passage of time, reacting casually I thought Trump might be right.

There were many pictures of people escaping from lower Manhattan to New Jersey. There were also pictures of people in the Middle East celebrating the disaster. Could Trump have mixed together the two at the time? Very possibly. I am sure Trump was watching TV the way most of us were watching TV, with one eye on the set and one eye on something else. It would be easy for someone, anyone, to have watched the continuing stream and mixed in the images of Jersey and the Middle East.

September 11th was a stressful day for all of us, even if we were bystanders. Under stress our perception can easily become confused. We can mix and match emotions, scenes, reactions and beliefs until they all become one seamless narrative in our minds.

What makes Trump’s claim seen more confusing is that even if we do not claim to have seen what he saw on TV, almost all of us can believe that there were anti-American people in Jersey who were sympathizing with the terrorists. The original 1993 attack on the World Trade Center was orchestrated and launched from New Jersey. The fact of anti-American Muslims operating from Jersey and targeting the World Trade Center is a fact.

If you mix all of these mental impressions together under stress, it would be easy for someone to testify in court “I saw them celebrating on TV as the twin towers fell.”

I did not see anti-Americans on TV celebrating as the World Trade Center was attacked.

But it would not surprise me if those celebrations actually took place. It is easy to be confused about confusing situations.

President George W. Bush was correct when he said after 9/11 that “Islam is not the enemy.” But all of our enemies who are attacking Western Civilization are radical Muslims. We cannot deny the obvious. That is why President Obama is derided for being unwilling to say “radical Islam.” Radical Islam is the enemy. On that issue, Trump is 100% correct, and I agree with him 100%.

Hopefully my thoughts may be of some help in understanding recent and ongoing controversies.

Andy Martin

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Attention, Business, National, Political and daybook/assignment editors

Announcement of San Francisco news conference today, Wednesday, November 25

GOP presidential candidate Andy Martin says Wells Fargo Bank should be broken up as the worst one of the nation’s top 5 banks.

Andy is a banking and regulatory law expert who has been dealing with banking industry excesses for decades

Andy says Wells Fargo Bank is the “worst of the worst,” and should be broken up as a first step in separating the big banks’ Wall Street speculation activities from ordinary banking needs for small business and consumers

Andy says his own experience with Wells Fargo convinces him the organization is the most anti-consumer and malicious operation of the nation’s top 5 banks

(San Francisco, CA) (November 25, 2015) Republican presidential candidate Andy Martin will hold a San Francisco news conference today, November 25th to call for the breakup of Wells Fargo Bank. Andy calls Wells Fargo Bank America’s “most anti-consumer big bank.”

“All of the top ten banks are to some extent anti-American and anti-consumer,” Andy charges. “They take taxpayer money in bailouts, but then they do everything they can to hurt their customers. But based on my experience, Wells Fargo is America's worst big bank, easily the worst one of the top 5.

“The Republican Party is dead wrong on banking reform. Republicans are always waging a war against bank regulation and consumer protection, but ordinary citizens and small businesses need protection from the arrogance and corruption of banks such as Wells Fargo. Republican candidates need to bite the hand that feeds them, the Wall Street donor class.

“I got into a dispute with Wells Fargo years ago and today we are in a federal court battle before an arrogant and corrupt federal judge. For a small claims case involving beer money. The arrogance and consumer antagonism of Wells Fargo has to be experienced to be believed. They also work with a semi-secret company, ChexSystems to extort money from customers when disputes arise between Wells Fargo and its clients.

“Unlike most national candidates I actually have banking industry experience. For example, I tried the first bank holding company case at the Federal Reserve Board, way back in 1973. So I know how and why the big banks are corrupt, incompetent and dismissive of ordinary individuals. The banks over-speculate in good times and they abuse and overcharge their customers in bad times.

“During the mortgage foreclosure fiasco Wells Fargo was one of the worst offenders. But Wells Fargo has a generalized anti-consumer orientation, year-in and year-out.

“Why Republicans are against reasonable regulations (please see link below) and want big banks to gamble with depositors’ money escapes me. How can we expect to become a majority party if we are working against the financial interests of a majority of Americans? The GOP is on the wrong side of the banking regulation issue. Unfortunately, the reality is that the Republican Party in Washington is financed by dirty dollars from banking lobbyists. Campaign contributions from banks explain why the Republican Party has sold itself to the big banking industry.

“We do not need to over-regulate small banks and those that serve a local area without major branch networks or overseas operations or trading desks. But the top 10 banks need to be watched closely and carefully. The top 5 should be broken up, with a strict separation of ordinary banking from financial speculation and risky trading. In every banking crisis, the ‘too big to fail’ banks such as Wells Fargo get rewarded, and small business and consumer customers get the shaft.

“We have a couple of web sites that are going up and will be ready soon (please see links below). It is a very uphill battle, but I am committed to separating the Washington GOP ‘lobbyist party’ from banking contributions and special interest money. In fairness, the Democrats are just as bad and just as greedy when it comes to campaign dollars from big banks.

“Ironically, banking reform is one issue where the GOP has the potential to split away small business and consumer customers from the Democratic Party. The Clintons are owned lock, stock and barrel by big banks and Wall Street firms such as Goldman Sachs. Bernie Sanders is right when he attacks Hillary Clinton and says the big banks should be broken up.

“Instead of bowing down to the big banks, Republicans could and should be poaching Democratic voters who are disgusted with the way that moneyed interests run Washington and have their evil tentacles deep in both parties.

“Wells Fargo is the worst of the worst. They are first on my list to be broken up. Investment banking and Wall Street speculation on the one hand, and consumer/business banking, on the other, can and should be made legally separate once again.”

(San Francisco, CA) (November 23, 2015) Republican presidential candidate Andy Martin launched his West Coast campaign efforts Sunday when “Andy’s Army” landed in San Francisco yesterday and set up a temporary campaign headquarters at a luxury three-room hotel suite on Nob Hill. “Andy is not a Donald Trump ‘wannabe,” says Linda Smith, “but he may be the GOP presidential race’s Trump mini-me. Pollsters should add Andy’s name to their lists.”

“Andy has been a major factor in two of the last four presidential races. In 2000 he helped knock out George W. Bush in the New Hampshire primary when Andy broadcast a devastating TV ad that predicted (in 1999-2000) that George W. Bush wanted to launch a war against Iraq.

“In 2005-2008 Andy exposed Barack Obama as a fraud, costing Obama millions of votes in the process. The anti-Obama movement, which Andy fathered, continues to grow in force throughout American politics and today forms the backbone of Donald Trump’s campaign.”

After arriving in San Francisco on Sunday Andy attended services at Grace Cathedral (Episcopal) on Nob Hill.

The candidate did not attend the memorial to Carol Doda, but while in San Francisco he will be writing a column about the Bay Area’s impact on modern American culture.

“As someone who has been an urban educator, and is comfortable in metropolitan areas from coast to coast, I am a Republican who can speak to and work with America’s cities,” Andy says. “I do not expect to win the presidential nomination, but I do expect to be a factor and to provide an opportunity for the party to ‘open itself up’ to voters who currently feel disenfranchised.

“The ‘anti’ voters in both parties (Trump, Carson, Sanders) have more in common than they have that divides them.

“But I am also here to deliver a stern message to California: rejoin America and respect our laws or pay a heavy price when California some day needs assistance from the rest of the country.”

Andy is ramping up his West Coast campaign after qualifying in the first-in-the-nation New Hampshire primary, where he has challenged the ballot eligibility of Bernie Sanders. Andy will participate, from San Francisco by telephone, in a Tuesday hearing (which may be continued) at the Legislative Office Building in Concord, NH. “I believe the New Hampshire hearing should be rescheduled to next week and I have asked the NH Supreme Court to take action. But if technology permits, I will be ready to start the proceedings from San Francisco on Tuesday to remove Bernie Sanders from the New Hampshire Ballot,” Andy notes.

Andy can be reached directed in San Francisco through the Mark Hopkins Hotel, (415) 392-3434, Suite 1438.

Andy is expected to have a news conference later today at his campaign headquarters. Details to follow.
