RE: Equality under the Law
Most Honorable Ladies and Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,
Thank you, for taking a moment to review my situation and hopefully intervening. .
While you and I may stand on opposite sides of debates concerning same gender attraction et al., as American citizens each of us no doubt cherish our liberties while respecting the notions of equality and justice for ALL.
Having said that, as a gay Latter-day Saint (Mormon) I feel compelled to inform you of a dangerous escalation with regard to what had already become at times intolerable and intense hatred and discriminatory treatment being served up against the gay community by certain individuals and religious organizations here at home in Orange County.
I am a best selling author (indeed thirty thousand copies of the first book I ever scripted were picked up by the Orange County Board of Supervisors back in 1978-79).
Following the successful release in 2003 of my latest work, CALIFORNIA/WEST OF THE WEST, an INCLUSIVE history which celebrates EVERY Californian, I found myself quite literally under attack by family, my Church and a number of hate groups parading about under the guise of citizen’s “task forces.”
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has operated covertly since the assassination of Joseph Smith. This tradition is well understood (if not respected) by a 5th generation Mormon such as myself.
So you can well imagine my gut reaction when I heard the generals at Salt Lake City declare war against homosexuals and intellectuals ( I am both) by proclaiming us to be “the greatest threat to the Kingdom God

Since that announcement the LDS Church with ultra conservative leadership installed at its helm in coalition with other “concerned” Catholics and Evangelicals set about to if not eradicate than contain successful and outspoken gay individuals (see the film “8/the Mormon Proposition – I personally know most everyone interviewed for this film-also see www.ldsapology.org and www.affirmation.org).
As a longstanding affiliate of Affirmation (Gay LDS) who has lived openly all of my adult life (and with my companion for 18 years of that life) I was not surprised then in 2006 when " inexplicably" hauled before a Bishop’s Court and summarily excommunicated.
Roman Catholic Father Art Holquin thereafter escorting me off the Mission grounds at San Juan Capistrano (where I had served as a volunteer docent for more than twelve years) and forbidding my accessing the Basilica (upon which I had personally invested both tithes and time in service to aid with renovating the Diocesan archives located therein).

These attempts to shame me then escalated to efforts that would threaten me with bankruptcy.
My books were pulled from retail outlets, sponsorships and orders cancelled, subsequent calendared speaking engagements rescheduled two or three times, or canceled altogether or crowded with individuals intent upon debating, not California History as presented in my work but rather sodomy, pedophilia, and abortion rights?
This conspiracy of committing crimes then reached further still into my own home. Physical trespass and theft of intellectual properties (drafts of my writings, pages from my journals, tax files) and destruction of personal properties (four workstation/computers destroyed to date) wiretapping of my telephone line, hacking into my cell and internet, unethical if not illegal audio and video surveillance, mail tampering, stalking, harassment, etc. and all of this seemingly with impunity.

Each occasion of trespass and theft was accompanied by installation of a home improvement! So my first call, accordingly, would be to my landlord (the only other individual with a key). Our lease agreement forbids his entering my home, barring an emergency, without making prior arrangements with me. On every occasion he gave assurances that he had no knowledge of the new water heater, bathroom ventilation system, light fixtures etc. etc having been installed. And in fact asking if he might have my permission to come over and see for himself that which had been done?
So my second call would be to the Orange County Sheriffs’ Department.

Additionally I changed the locks three times (on each occasion presenting the landlord with his copy of the new key as per our lease agreement).
Initially the Sheriff’s Department instructed me to speak with Crime Prevention Officer Janet Saner. I listened in disbelief as she recommended, and not in jest, that I, “get out of Dodge.”
Saner’s volunteers subsequently left notices to let me know that they were watching my place for me. I would find these notices sitting on the coffee table inside of my home, which suggests that they were themselves trespassing against me.
Finally Investigator Trey Hunt was assigned by the Sheriff’s Department to discover what exactly was going on. After month’s of waiting for his conclusions I called only to "discover " that Investigation Hunt had dropped the case.
Said case was reopened. The same investigator was assigned to investigate. Upon completion Hunt refused to turn his findings over to the District Attorney’s Office.
Calls to the District Attorney resulted in a suggestion that I file suit against the offender(s) and subpoena the Investigator Hunt’s report et al. This I found difficult to do, for at this point I suspected the obvious but could not KNOW exactly who the offender(s) were (which is why, following each trespassing incident, I requested that officer’s fingerprint if nothing more than my workstation. They ALWAYS refused).
Senator Dianne Feinstein’s office investigated my mail tampering situation. The California Public Utilities Commission investigated ATT with regard to the wiretapping and internet/cell hacking situation.
ATT followed up with me directly. ATT had already acknowledged the wire tapping. It had in fact been their own area regional supervisor, Mr. XXX, who pointed said situation out to me in the first place. ATT suggested that cell and internet hacking were occurring outside of their jurisdictions and left me with an impression that such was the handiwork of either corrupt law enforcement officers and or law enforcement “volunteers” with access to said technologies.
In the meantime I made numerous attempts to secure legal counsel but without success. It became obvious to me that by listening in on and otherwise monitoring my communications whom ever was committing these crimes against me were containing my efforts to expose and file charges through bribery and or whatever other means were available to them.

So I contacted Supervisor Pat Bates. Her office recommended that I speak with the County’s mediator between citizens and law enforcement, Mr. Steven Connelly. This I did. The repercussions of that phone conference did nothing but exacerbate my situation.
Thereafter Investigator Hunt turned in his report, what with a statute of limitations having run its course, and, accordingly, District Attorney Tony Raukakus declined to take any action..
Today I have eye witnesses and conclusive evidence regarding both the individuals AND organizations who have shadowed my every phone call and email and used information garnered to “pull the plug” on each and every social event, book signing or speaking engagement.
Several of these individuals are law enforcement officers working part time for the private investigation company launched by former Fundamentalist Baptist Minister XXXXX who resides, as do I, here in San Clemente
Most painful of all to me personally has been the discovery that members of my own family are directly involved.
Having said this, equal treatment under the law, assurances of one’s civil liberties and every citizen’s right to earn his way in life, to ply his trade, to make a living from his craft is protected if not by local law enforcement then by the Constitution of the United States and attendant Bill of Rights.
Those who have denied me said rights owe me deserved respect, restoration of my dignity and restitution for more than three decades now of targeting and with ever amped up fervor all but destroying both myself and my career.
This isn't Sunday School, ladies and gentlemen. These fanatics are committing crimes against humanity and with impunity.

RE: Obstruction of Justice
Most Honorable Ladies and Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,
I would like for Mr. Powell to know how much I appreciated his taking the time to review my correspondence (a copy of which is enclosed). Having said that I am concerned with this unexpected turn of events and for two reasons:
1. Mr. Powell, as an employee of Fullerton College, is personally familiar with both of the individuals orchestrating the endless litany of hate crimes, et al. being perpetrated against me.
2 .Mr. Powell, as a former officer of the Los Angeles Police Department, operated under the guidelines of his LAPD Manual Section 413.04 which instructed him to treat ALL homosexuals as unconvicted sex offenders. Additionally, most of the those colluding with the aforementioned individuals in committing criminal actions against me are themselves law enforcement officers.
These two points rendered me dubious of Mr. Powell’s first letter, dated September 2, 2010 (a copy of which is enclosed). My concerns were confirmed upon receipt of a second letter from Mr. Powell disavowing the first and dated September 9, 2010 (a copy of which is also enclosed).
May I request that the Grand Jury reconsider Mr. Powell’s decision to dismiss my petition for your intervention?
Most respectfully,
Adam Collings

Most Honorable Ladies and Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,
May I by virtue of this letter follow up regarding events that have transpired since addressing you previously on August 28th, 2010 and September 15, 2010 and subsequently launching a NEW case with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
I have received yet another home improvement (see my letter to you of August 28th)! My front porch was cleaned and repaired on October 8th, at which time someone entered my home and rifled through my copyrights file. It appears as if they removed, most likely copied and then returned said file.
Meanwhile hacking into my cell phone and internet remains “off the hook.”
An investigator with the District Attorney’s office by the name of Alan Vander pool
has called and instructed that I speak exclusively with him exclusively? He also recommended that I contact the FBI. This I had done initially (some six years ago) concurrent with my initial petition to San Clemente Police Services for intervention.
As per Mr. Vander Pool’s recommendation I contacted the FBI this morning. The agent of the day was most helpful; encouraging that I continue reporting each and every incident to the local authorities.
Within an hour of said telephone conference my landlord was standing on my newly renovated front porch threatening me with eviction? I have faithfully paid him monthly rent for thirteen years.
I have always suspected that, as the only other person with keys, the landlord was himself responsible for this nonstop trespass, theft, tapping, hacking et al. I have faithfully paid him monthly rent for thirteen years. I have also suspected him of profiteering from theft of my work, etc. This morning I apparently “outted” him not only before the Sheriff’s Department but to the FBI. And, accordingly, he now wants me OUT.

RE: Follow up to correspondence sent previously
Most Honorable Ladies and Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,
Intent upon discrediting, isolating and bankrupting me, vicious on going compromise of my telephone and internet (with attendant stalking, harassment, instigating others to committing crimes of hate against me, et al) continues.
More than merely demoralizing, I can no longer, at this point, conduct either the business of business or the business of life.
Please intervene
Prosecute those individuals behaving as if wild animals in committing these crimes. Nothing else will stop them from inflicting this distress and pain. They harbor but one objective; leaving someone such as myself with no other option than that of committing suicide (which, of course, would but fulfill their objective).
Sincerely,
Adam

RE: Investigator’s Indiscretions
Most Honorable Ladies and Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,
My heart sank when I was informed that police services in San Clemente had turned my case over to Investigator Trey Hunt.
Investigator Hunt had been assigned some six years ago to the original case and on said occasion delivered information and items shared with him in confidence over to the very individuals committing those aforementioned crimes against me.
I expressed my concerns to the FBI. Again they were most helpful; recommending that I stick with the local and state investigators on this and that I simply call the Sheriff’s Department and request they assign my case over to someone else.
This I did. And was shocked to find myself being delivered over to a high priest in the LDS (Mormon) Church whose colleagues had several years ago called me before a Bishop’s Court and excommunicated me because I had refused to either turn myself into a heterosexual or accept a life of celibacy?
My experience of the past few days has made it perfectly clear that once again my situation has been delivered back into the hands of those very individuals guilty of committing these crimes of hate against both myself and others.
Again I plead for your intervention. Prosecute and convict those violating my civil rights and imposing their private agenda upon an honorable citizen entitled to equal rights and protection under the law. Your failure to act leaves myself and countless others at the mercy of ignorant individuals who will otherwise never let off from the war they have themselves declared openly against the gay community here in Orange County and elsewhere.
Most respectfully,
Adam Collings

EXHIBIT C
COLLINGS VS. HAEFNER
ATTACHMENT BC-4
According to California Civil Code Section 1954, barring an emergency or abandonment a landlord may not enter a rental unit without obtaining written or oral agreement with the tenant as to date, time and purpose.
On October 11, 2010 the Defendant (Plaintiff’s landlord) entered the Plaintiff’s premises without advance notice of any kind to do repair work on Plaintiff’s front landing and to invade the Plaintiff’s office to extract his copyright files (the Plaintiff is a best selling author)...
This incident is but the latest in an ongoing litany of similar violations, each imposing unannounced home improvements as a ruse for theft and or destruction of personal property during the Plaintiff’s absence..
As there was never any sign of a forced entry Plaintiff contacted Defendant, the only other individual with either a key or motive for improving the property. The defendant disavowing any knowledge of either said improvements or the theft and or destruction of Plaintiff’s personal property.
So the Plaintiff reported said events to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
An investigation (CASE # 05-1151310) was launched, with the Plaintiff continuing to report both to the Defendant as well as to the Sheriff’s Department each incident regarding installation of a new water heater, bathroom ventilation system, light fixtures etc, etc. and ,concurrently, destruction of four desktop computers, theft of intellectual properties, tax files, copyright files etc., etc.
Meanwhile, SBC/ATT personnel informed the Plaintiff that his telephone and computer lines were being tapped. After addressing this situation only to see it reoccur they returned together with Orange County Sheriffs Department personnel to serve as witnesses while providing Plaintiff with the threaded wire used in said trespass as evidence. Concurrently cell and internet hacking began (and continues to this day).
Whereupon and after allowing a statute of limitations to run its course police investigators submitted their report to the District Attorney.
The office of the District Attorney and FBI then both recommended that the Plaintiff report again to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department and request that a new Case be opened). This the Plaintiff did. Case # 10-183469 was begun on September 30, 2010. Shortly thereafter Plaintiff received both another home improvement (the aforementioned, which occurred on October 11, 2010 by the Defendant, and was threatened with eviction.
COLLINGS VS. HAEFNER
ATTACHMENT BC-6
During his first five years in the business of writing, publishing and producing the Plaintiff garnered $5,000,000. Forced to start over again, Plaintiff felt both qualified and competent enough to do so. Plaintiff entered into lease agreement with the Defendant intent upon therein starting his new career.
It would take Plaintiff five years before realizing that his effort was being compromised by the very man to whom he paid his monthly rent.
After approaching the Defendant respectfully, both in person and thereafter in writing regarding said concerns, Plaintiff was threatened with eviction.
Plaintiff handed the matter over to local law enforcement, who investigated and than held off for more than five years submitting their report to the District Attorney’s Office; thus manipulating a dismissal due to statutes of limitations.
Meanwhile, and throughout the five years intervening, Plaintiff was subjected to an endless litany of crimes, each apparently directed at discrediting, isolating and bankrupting him.
When on October 31st, 2010 after the Plaintiff offered to remedy the Defendant monies demanded only to be refused, Plaintiff felt at this point compelled rather to file thisl Breach of Contract suit demanding remuneration of no less than the $5,000,000 he most assuredly would have earned during the if not five than more than ten years of his life adversely spent first discovering the Defendant’s trespass, second attempting to secure a civil remedy with the same, and third now standing alone without help from public servants to be threatened yet again by the Defendant..

RE: PUBLIC SERVANTS PROMOTING PRIVATE AGENDAS
Most Honorable Ladies and Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,
Please be so kind as to review this update concerning my situation and, if possible, intervene.
Since launching a second police investigation and filing an Unlimited Civil Suit claiming Breach of Contract against my landlord I have been left to deal with a contrived unlawful detainer suit.
I have faithfully paid my landlord his monthly rent for thirteen years.
Issues pertaining to my case have to do with the landlord’s on going home invasion, theft of intellectual properties, destruction of personal property, tapping/hacking into both my telephone and internet etc.
Having been excommunicated for ever living openly as a gay Latter-day Saint (Mormon) I was surprised to see my answer to the landlord’s UDL being addressed in but the equivalent of a Mormon “Bishop’s Court” by Superior Court Justice John L. Flynn III. My legal considerations handily dismissed, while Judge Flynn downloaded a predetermined dictum focused solely upon diffusing any suggestion of discriminatory behaviors that might reflect negatively upon either the landlord or the LDS (Mormon) Church
Grand Jury

Justice Flynn ruled in favor of the Landlord. I have appealed his decision.
Intent upon discrediting, isolating and bankrupting me, vicious on going trespass of both my telephone and internet (with attendant stalking, harassment, instigating others to committing crimes of hate against me, et al) continues unabated.
I do what I can to secure legal representation, but repeatedly find myself not being reviewed but rather deposed. No private individual can stand up against such a well funded, well organized and illicit opposition facilitated by PUBLIC OFFICIALS PROMOTING PRIVATE AGENDAS AT TAXPAYER'S EXPENSE.
Again that which is at play here is the private vendetta of two people, exploiting an LDS agenda facilitated by sympathetic public officials and law officers.
I plead for your intervention. Prosecute and convict those violating my civil liberties and imposing their private agenda upon an honorable citizen entitled to the same rights and protection under the law that they claim for themselves.
Your failure to act leaves me and countless others at the mercy of ignorant individuals who will otherwise never let up from the war they have themselves declared openly against the gay community.
Most hopefully,
Adam Collings
