Jonathan Vernick--Go Fuck Yourself!

Readers: Google “Jonathan Vernick”  or Google "Defund Baker Places";  Also, visit my blog at www.defundbakerplaces.blogspot.com for additional information. Contact your member of the Board of Supervisors at www.sfbos.org  and demand Baker Places be defunded.
 



  • Jonathan Vernick as the CEO of a nonprofit funded by the taxpayers at $12 million annually has allegedly stolen $100 million by selling donated properties. These properties were given to Baker Places by the Mayor’s Office of Housing to house populations such as those who are HIV+.  See San Francisco Board of Supervisors: Defund Baker Places—Now! posted on June 22, 2016.



  • The Baker Board heard public testimony on June 15, 2016 about Jonathan Vernick’s abuses towards clients and employees for the past 25 years and has failed to act. Presently, the following board members are charged with “crimes against humanity” for supporting his abuse: Nick Lederer, Corey Busch, Jonathan Vernick, Jo Ruffin and Michael Harrington.



  • According to a private investigator (see Stop this Bullshit--Jonathan Vernick has dementia!  posted on June 27, 2016) Jonathan Vernick has early-stage dementia. This has been confirmed by 3 Baker Places employees and by direct observations on June 15, 2016.

Reader Wants To Know If There is Enough Evidence For a Legal Inquiry



Dear Reader:


 
Thank you for your inquiry. The problem with Baker Places is the lack of oversight of how it has spent the taxpayers’ money over the past 10 years. I have documented that according to IRS 990s, Baker Places has lost $3.4 million over the past 10 years: See Financial Documents and Information Prepared for Tom Mesa, a Representative of the Department of Public Health  post on May 7, 2016 for additional information.


 


The last time Baker Places was audited by the City and County of San Francisco was 2008. Because Baker Places is the largest recipient of taxpayers’ money as a nonprofit ($12 million annually), it should be audited every year. Please note that the 2008 audit found many problems with Baker Places adhering to commonly accepted accounting principles; See San Francisco Board of Supervisors: Defund Baker Places—Now!  for additional information.


 


Areas of concern:


 


* Property which is donated to Baker Places via grants, such as the Mayor's Office of Housing appear to be deeded in Baker Places name. This is why Baker Places is able to sell property which has been donated as occurred on 54-56 Francis Street on February 12, 2015.


 


* The funds which Baker Places is allotted by the taxpayers is comingled with Jonathan Vernick's private corporation. See : Jonathan Vernick Et Al v. Mynette Boykin :: Superior Court of ...for background info on Jonathan Vernick's private holding corporation.


 


* Baker Places lost $825,000 according to the IRS 990, 2014 form. Please see www.citizenaudit.org and type in Baker Places, Inc. to retrieve copies of the originals. In addition, I have used www.guidestar.org as a resource.  Note that these sites may now be for pay and thus may have limited access.


 
Some possible questions: Is the financial mismanagement at Baker Places part of a larger pattern? Is there intent to mismanage the public’s money or is it just incompetence? In addition to Jonathan Vernick, who else is part of the mismanagement of the taxpayer’s money? Have any of the members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors been influenced to allow the present situation to continue to exist?


Thank you for sharing your insights. I hope the above points are helpful in answering your questions. Feel free to write back if I can provide any additional information.


Sincerely Yours,

Don't know if I can be of any help, I'm disabled and poor myself. Though I sometimes assist others in righting wrongs by snooping around.
Your web page could be a lot less conspiratorial, in order for people to take you seriously. You do come off as kind of a nut job. But they may also be the result of your enemies setting you up that way. Nonetheless:
If you really have a justified grievance, I strongly suggest you revise your web page(s), and your flyer.
Has anyone else contacted you, yet, as a result of your flyer? Are you getting /any/ assistance in this matter, by now?
What solid evidence can you provide that will persuade the dubious?
Do you keep records of offenses, with names, date and time or each offense, and any other documents of proof?
There will be no face-to-face meetngs between us, my work is best done anonymously.
Wishing you luck,










Below is my reply:


 


Dear Reader:


 


Thank you for sharing your insights. "One man's conspiracy, is another man's set of facts."


 
Yes, I have had many interactions with various readers via my blog and email. These include upon occasion face-to-face meetings. The problem in resolving this situation are manifold:
 


1) The San Francisco Board of Supervisors are in a position in which if they defund Baker Places, then the services in their district will be eliminated. (The taxpayers support Baker Places at $12 million per year.) This also includes the 100+ jobs which Baker Places provides; nearly all these jobs are at the working-class level with the case managers earning about $20 per hour (not including benefits).


 
2) The larger media is concerned with the writing anything which might have legal consequences. Usually, a case like mine goes through the legal process. The problem with this solution: The problem is Jonathan Vernick and the corruption he has spawned over the past 25 years and going through the courts will not resolve this situation.


 
3) At first blush, my claims do appear to be exaggerated. While I can provide evidence that financial mismanagement has occurred at Baker Places, apparently there is not enough evidence for the district attorney or the FBI to investigate; in my considered view, the FBI would find that I have understated my case. In my view, Vernick is just the tip of the iceberg as far as I suspect there are many players involved in his games.


 
As always, I am grateful for each reader who takes time to write. Your insights are helpful and if you have any specific feedback or additional steps I might take, please let me know. Thanks again for writing.


 
 
Sincerely Yours,

Quick Overview of the Thomas Immortality Project

All citations are from The Gospel of Thomas: The Hidden Sayings of Jesus, by Marvin Meyer. Readers may visit www.thomasimmortality.blogspot.com for more information.


( HarperSanFrancisco, 1992).

1. What is the purpose of the Thomas Immortality Project?

The purpose is to open to the world the possibility of physical immortality through the reading of Jesus’ words in Thomas and to have these words vibrate at the immortal frequency. The language Jesus spoke was Aramaic. The words, translated from the Egyptian Coptic text into English, will pierce the heart of the chosen. The words themselves are transformative at an energetic level. Reading is best done aloud.

 
2. Before reading Thomas is there a prayer I should say?

 
Yes. “Jesus: I allow your words to enter my heart so that I might be one with you. I allow your words to vibrate at the immortal frequency.”

 
3. Is there a life after death?


No. “Jesus said, ‘Look to the living as long as you live, or you might die and then try to see the living one, and you will be unable to see’ ” (Saying 59). There is no indication, directly or indirectly, of an afterlife in the Thomas; instead, the chosen are encouraged to seek immortality in the present.

 
4. What do I need to do in order to be an immortal?


The union of opposites as outlined in saying 22 is transformative:

Jesus saw some babies nursing. He said to his followers, “These nursing babies are like those who enter the kingdom. They said to him, “Then shall we enter the kingdom as babies?” Jesus said to them, “When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter the Kingdom of God.”

This is a starling insight which predates the great Carl Jung, one of the towering figures in the 20th century, whose insights into the human psyche are still being mined today. As readers who are familiar with Jungian Psychology know, the union of opposites as being transformative is one of the key insights of Jung. Yet, Jesus shares this insight 2,000 years earlier!

 
5. How can I raise my consciousness to Jesus’ level?

The reader is invited to study and reflect upon the following passages:

Jesus said, “If they say to you, ‘Where have you come from?’ say to them, ‘We come from the light, from the place where the light came into being by itself, established [itself], and appeared in their image.’ If they say to you, ‘Is it you?’ say, ‘We are its children, and we are the chosen of the living Father. If they ask you, ‘What is the evidence of your Father in you?’ say to them, 'it is motion and it is rest ’ ” (Saying 50).

To reach the light consciousness, the energy from outside the brain will be activated. In Yogic terms, these are the chakras above the head and from the earth itself. These may be referred to as the 8th-13th chakras, depending upon the model being used. In any case, if one stays in the ego brain, then it’s not possible to be immortal.

 
6. Should I attend church or any other religious organization?


Absolutely not! The New Testament scholar, Professor Bart D. Ehrman, has done an excellent job of demonstrating that the New Testament is a fraudulent document. Readers are invited to read his text, Lost Christianities or his college lectures via The Teaching Company, the New Testament (and others). What apparently happened is this: Saying books such as Thomas and Q were widely circulated after Jesus' resurrection. The leader of the earliest of Jesus’ followers were led by James, the brother of Jesus, who was an eyewitness to Jesus’ resurrection. Then darkness came. Paul invented what became the Catholic Church. This group claimed salvation could come only by going directly to them; they banned the reading of Jesus’ original sayings by burning all copies they could get their hands on; they invented doctrines of death—claiming that Jesus' life meant nothing—salvation could only come through the shedding of his blood; they invented the doctrines of heaven and hell; they changed God’s Holy Day from the 7th day of the week to the first day of the week; they burned to the stake anyone who would dare challenge their teachings which originates directly from Satan. To this day, these unrepentent beings still claim to be the original followers of Jesus, when they are the followers of that which is evil.

 
7. Is there anything in the New Testament of value?


Yes. In I Corinthians 15, we have Paul’s historical record of the 500 who saw the risen Jesus. The Gospel of John comes closest to what Jesus said (obviously, the narratives are pure inventions):

You must become like a child again. You must be born from above. To enter the Kingdom of God you must be filled with the words of Jesus—which bubbles like spring water—and allow his spirit to enter you. Then you will be as I am: immortal.  (Paraphrased from John 3: 1-8).

For the most part, the New Testament is a series of invented stories and thus are of no spiritual value.  

 
8. If I follow the teachings of Jesus can I still take care of my family?

 

No.  “Jesus said, ‘whoever does not hate his father and mother cannot be a disciple of me, and whoever does not hate brothers and sisters and bear the cross as I do will not be worthy of me' ” (Saying 55). Also, those who are merchants and buyers will not enter the Kingdom of God (Saying 64).

 
9. Is there some group or organization I can join?


Since I started the Thomas Immortality Project in February 2016, there is no group to turn to. The purpose of this project is to restore the original message of Jesus—physical immortality is available today—to the world. The reader is invited to email me at Safeway7354@gmail.com to share any insights.

Reply to Reader: How Jonathan Vernick has stolen an estimated $100 million

Can any one please send me any evidence you have on this guys unlawful embezzling of government funds so I may turn him in under whistleblower stutes, collect the reward from doing so, get my name in the paper, and all while helping my fellow San Franciscans in need? I mean if no one else is going to do it, then please let me. I'm hungry and angry enough to turn in a corrupt fat cat who makes finding affordable rent harder in this town! Honestvalu@gmail.com. please send.






Dear Honest Value:

Thank you for sharing your insights.  The facts of the matter are clear:

1) The property at 54-56 Francis Street was donated to Baker Places, Inc. in order to house populations such as those who are HIV +.

2) This property was sold on February 12, 2015 in order to pay back taxes to the IRS of $825,000.

3) Ten clients were illegally evicted from this property.

4) The 2008 audit report indicated that Baker Places has a pattern of having "cash flow" problems and then selling property to make up the deficit.

5) Several other sources indicate that Jonathan Vernick has mixed his property holdings (which is a private corporation) with Baker Places funds (which is a nonprofit funded by the taxpayers at $12 million per year). Note see: Jonathan Vernick Et Al v. Mynette Boykin :: Superior Court of ...for background info on Jonathan Vernick's private holding corporation.

6) A private investigator estimated Baker Places has bought and sold properties worth $100 million over the past 25 years.

7) Because the "Jonathan Vernick holding, LLC" (a private holding company) is intertwined with Baker Places holdings, I have estimated theft of public funds at $100 millions.

If you need additional information, please contact me at safeway7354@gmail.com. Please do file a whistleblower suit; let me know if you need additional documents.
