Merit Appeals Board February 26, 2020 Statements from the Public (Item 3) CHR. NAMAHOE: Moving on to number 3, statements from the public. MR. SADEGH: Good morning. CHR. NAMAHOE: Good morning. Thank you so much, and if you would state your name for the record. MR. SADEGH: Abolghassem Abraham Sadegh, and last time you asked me what relevant, what I said had to the Board meeting. And she had, actually, put me on the schedule. But this time I really have something to say that should be concern to all of you and all of us and everybody in this State actually. That our County is an allegory and I have sidious examples about that, that people that you actually know. On the public side, the renowned Peter Matsuura, surgeon, I went to him for the first time,just underneath (inaudible) was assaulted and I think made unconscious and dragged on the floor on the ground, so that my knees were damaged. And before anything else, he just said, "Abraham, I have heard that you say you have an allegory. I am an allegor—that is on the public side. On the government side, the first director of their housing—this is the deputy director, actually, but Lance Niimi was in charge of the housing including, unfortunately, the federal housing that is also under the control of the County—and our County is a police state. I'm basing all everything I say on personal experience. And I come home and I'm—this is the twelfth place I'm living and I'm being literally crucified for my faith. I went back to Iran where I'm from and found out that the religion I have believed in for all of my life is a cult. Cult of personalities—and so, I started something and that's complicated. I started something new that I called the Universal Realm of the World Almighty. This is, by the way, why I'm being crucified. Believing in God is optional. Believing in humanity is not—God judges us by what goes under (inaudible) what I believe in. But judges are (inaudible) what goes on in our hearts and not how we perceive ourselves. And then, this is the one that is bothering everybody—each one of us should be the same here. Each one of us at any level of society. Fighting injustice, helping yourself and others, and doing no harm. And everything I say is, I'm really summarized in these two. So, I'm—I am now relieved and I'm—police does not allow me. I have an Associate of Art degree from (inaudible) college in 1964, BA from University of Texas Political Science in 1967, Master's degree when I got back to Iran from Iran Center for Management Studies up at Harvard University. I have fought for 26 years and many responsibilities. And back and limited to my social security which is less than$1,000. So, I'm also live in poverty. Page 3
