In the last few weeks, construction has
suddenly begun on this property. Due to the slope of the land, this
has necessitated the bringing in of enormous quantities of fill
material and heavy equipment to move it around, obviously at very
great expense.
Why would someone do all this, when
there is a great deal of other undeveloped land nearby that is
clearly much more suitable for building on? The answer is that the
other land is not located right next to my homestead. There is a
medical building owned by the local hospital immediately to the east
of my house that was built shortly after the zoning change and as
part of a number of proposed buildings close by that were approved by
the city around the same time as the complex being started along my
western fence line. (Make that right up against my western fence
line!--the fill material being brought in is being dumped right next
to my fence.) Construction must now take place on the opposite side
of my house so that my property is surrounded on both sides by
commercial property. This is necessary so that the county appraisal
district can raise their appraisals on my land to commercial levels,
which they know I can't pay.
The obvious solutions to my dilemma are
to either sell my property and move elsewhere or develop my property
myself. However, these are not viable options for me, and the people
and entities involved in the construction and planning going on
around me know this. My former father-in-law is a very powerful
lawyer, banker, and real estate developer who controls the local
hospital board and the entire real estate market in our area and has
close business and personal ties to three former U.S. presidents
(Johnson, Bush, and Bush), Texas billionaires, and more; he also has
high-level state and federal agents at his beck and call (see http://vocct.blogspot.com/2012/10/bringing-dirty-tricks-back-home.html).
When he puts out the word that my property is not to be sold,
purchased, or developed by me or anyone else, no one dares to defy
him. This means that even if I could persuade a real estate agent to
list the property for sale, no one would dare to buy it, and even if
I could get someone to help me develop my land, the city would never
approve another development plan.
My former father-in-law and his
associates have made lifelong careers out of obtaining property for
development on the cheap by getting people into financial trouble in
various ways and then buying their homes and land at property tax
auctions on various county courthouse steps in our region or as
emergency buy-outs. Classic examples of this are the Boot Ranch
development, Tapatio Springs resort near Boerne, and shopping
centers at The Rim in San Antonio. In my case, I'm sure locals think the idea of the city and county receiving money for the purchase of my property instead of me (however piddling the sum) is a wonderful way of keeping their own taxes down. They don't seem to be able to realize (at least not until it's too late!) that for the greedy, there is never enough and that their turn to have their property grabbed, or that of loved ones, will eventually come. [This may be quite soon for some, given the current push for a bypass around my city. Land located along any proposed routes will suddenly become very valuable commercial property that is ripe for development and therefore highly desirable!]
In the process of these land grabs,
people standing in the way often suddenly turn up dead. My
neighborhood is no exception to this; at least four people owning
property close to mine have died suddenly and violently. Two were
found shot to death, one was brought to the hospital dead of unknown causes, and one
was found dead underneath a tractor. One of the gunshot victims was
my next-door neighbor who, with her husband, owned the property to
the west of mine that is now being developed. All of these deaths took place shortly after my
husband suddenly left me in 1999,
At the time of the zoning change to
commercial and the approval of the medical complex, the property in
the gully that is now being built on was listed as being owned by a
local physician and her husband, a civil engineer who works for a
major local construction company. (The husband also currently sits
on the local school board.) Recently, however, an attorney and
former city judge who now heads the local hospital foundation went to
great pains to seek me out at my workplace so she could tell me
herself that she and her father from Colorado had purchased the
property to the west of mine and would be building on it. This
former judge and her father are also listed as having purchased a
large, multi-story medical office building next to the local hospital
and supposedly built by them, which is just to the southeast of my
property.
I believe that the local physician, her
engineer husband, the former judge, and the judge's father are all
fronting for my ex-husband and his father. As a fellow physician who
was Chief of Staff at the time, my ex- had to have known about the
hospital and medical expansion that was being planned for our
neighborhood. His sudden departure in 1999 coincides with the murder
outside the U.S. of a person who appears to have found out what was
going on here and planned to reveal it very publicly. This victim,
like the gunshot victims here, was also shot in the head. And I know
for a fact that my ex-husband went to great lengths to try and
conceal his whereabouts at the time the foreign victim was killed.
Because of the way law enforcement at
all levels in the U.S. (including the Department of Justice) has
repeatedly refused to help me over the years (undoubtedly due to my
former father-in-law's high-level connections), I have little hope of
getting any of the assistance or relief I'm entitled to under the law
here or of getting the homicides of my neighbors investigated and
prosecuted properly. The victim from outside the U.S. is another
matter, however, since other countries tend to become upset when
foreigners come over and assassinate their prominent citizens. I
have every confidence that the foreign victim's death is currently
being investigated thoroughly and that charges, if warranted, will be
brought. I'm also very glad there are no statutes of limitations on
murder cases.
Meanwhile, the illegal stalking and
harassment directed at me and my adult children continues unabated.
Much of the construction noise from next door is deliberately
amplified at times when we are at home. One day last week, I awoke
to find that the top portion of our trash had been removed from the
bin and scattered all over our front lawn so I'd have to be
outside for longer than usual while a large number of heavy
construction vehicles that had been waiting just around the corner
could slowly parade by. (Most of these vehicles belonged to the same
construction company that the afore-mentioned civil engineer works
for.) And my ex-husband was careful to leave his latest calling card
(a bright pink Christmas bow; he know it's my favorite color) in the
center of all the mess. Just this morning, on the way to work, I was
headlight-harassed (see http://vocct.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-spot-gangstalking-primer.html) by a young female physician with a short
blonde bob driving a gray car. In fact, the community-wide stalking
and harassment are currently so severe that I sense a documentary
film coming on.
By the way, property immediately across
the street from the gully currently being built in was the scene of
another bizarre and violent death; see http://vocct.blogspot.com/2012/02/developers-greed.html.
Finally, I am far from the only one currently having problems with our local hospital, which recently was awarded one of only two very prestigious national awards (the other recipient being Duke Medical Center). Coincidentally (??), the major hospital in a neighboring county that is our hospital's main rival was informed around the same time that they'd just been listed as not being up to Medicare standards in the field that my ex-husband specializes in here. Both of these smack highly of a combination of my former father-in-law's national connections and the expensive public relations firms he employs. (The rival hospital and its doctors are furious, of course.)
As my friend Medawar likes to say, there's no crime a property developer won't commit!
