My House Fire and A Homeland Security Issue
goldenresearch.blogspot.com

No Insurance! Insurance Companies cancel insurance in my neighborhood when homes are paid off or Condemned!  And none can be obtained!

PRIOR TO THE FIRE...
In early 2011 I came home and noticed that my lights were glowing a dull orange. The green energy fluorescent lights were popping or not coming on, and smoke was coming out of Video Recorders, Satellite Receivers, radio, telephones, and a telephone recorder. Virtually anything with a transformer in it began smoking. I immediately unplugged and turned off everything, then ran to the meter center to check for a loose connection or fuse. Finding none, I ran back inside and noticed all the 220-volt circuits were operating correctly. This ment the problem had to be in the Power Company Neutral.

I immediately called The Knoxville Utilities Board (KUB) and explained what was happening and that KUB had a loose Neutral Wire somewhere causing a high resistance in the line. They responded immediately and found a loose connection on the Power Pole outside my home, which had recently received maintenance. KUB later accepted responsibility and offered to replace all damaged items.


SOMETIME LATER...
Later I was examining the pole connections from the ground with field glasses and noticed that the connection at the Power Poll had been done sloppily or Jury Rigged. I contacted KUB and explained my concerns and KUB sent a repairman who tried to argue with me that the Power Company Neutral is not part of the circuit, but only acts as a Controller. I was amazed and immediately contacted KUB Repair. The supervisor said the repairman was a new hire and he would have a talk with him.

THE FIRE!
The following December of that year, 2011 while I was in my bed recovering from Surgery, (which was the third Mal-Practice committed against me by East Tennessee Doctors) I was awaken by a noise in the back of my home. "Luckily I was not doing the Prescribed Drugs!"  Upon investigation of the noise I found my home was on fire. My new phone (since the previous Fire) not working, I ran outside with my cell phone and a neighbor and I both called 911. Three fire departments responded and got the fire out pretty quickly. I joked with the Media, which had showed up to film the fire, that an animal might have caused the fire, but it later became obvious that this was not possible because the wiring was in BX Cable, which has a metal sheath around the wires to prevent just such a problem. Later while in conversation with the Fire Chief after the fire, I explained that KUB had nearly caused a fire in my home earlier that year that I had only narrowly prevented. The Fire Chief became alarmed and asked me to inform the Fire Investigator of this previous problem caused by the Utility, but the Investigator had already left. I was also concerned that the fire might have been set from outside the house by Arson because of the fires location at the rear of the home, and the fact that I am an open vocal critique in our community, which has resulted in many enemies, including a recent incident and criticism of our Police Department and Neighbors on Veterans Day where a mentally and physically challenged neighbor boy was gunned down and lay bleeding for three hours beside the road behind my home before "bleed out" and dying after I called 911 at hearing multiple gun shots, with no apparent police response. I was in bed recovering from the earlier mentioned Surgery and did not get up to check on the Gun Shots!

After conversation with the Fire Investigator he explained that the Arson Investigating Dog had not "hit" on any accelerants during his investigation, but did return to my home for another investigation.


On his return the Fire Investigator said the fire had started in the laundry room at the electrical plug where the transformer for the Ozone Generator was connected. This was the only connection being used in the back of the house. He said that the transformer must have taken a Hit from the previously loose KUB neutral connection earlier that year, but had waited until now to go in trouble. But thinking back on the previous incident, that transformer was not connected during the previous incident, and other electronic equipment purchased after the previous incident to replace the damage done in the previous incident was also damaged and not working. This can only mean that a new problem of a loose neutral which causes a surge of high voltage had to have caused this fire this second time also. The Fire Investigator offered to send me a letter stating these facts, but said he could not testify in court because of undercover work. But as of this time, he has not responded. I don’t want to suspect that pressure has been placed on him. KUB didn't send a letter refusing responsibility for the fire until July of 2012 and  I wasn't able to get a copy of Fire Report until even later. 
Let me say here that I have always been extremely careful with power connections in this home because of its age. I have always kept anything that I was not using, unplugged or disconnected. That means everything even my new Instant On Water Heater, coffee pot, and air conditioners. Only the things I am using at the time are connected. In my Kitchen, only the refrigerator and window lights were connected which, by the way, the motor on the refrigerator had also taken a hit in the previous KUB neutral problem, but had started working. The Ozone Generator Transformer is only connected when I am at home.

Accident or Sabotage?
I don’t want to say that this fire may have been intentional, but I have a negative history with current and former KUB employees that goes back to my former employment with KUB, as well as other developments and concerns, and needs to be mentioned here.


History with KUB
In 1967 I resigned from the Outside Plant Engineering Department of AT&T in Wisconsin along with my co-workers after being transferred there from the Southern Area because a corrupt Supervising Engineer of the Northern Area caused the death of a contractor employee. I returned to Knoxville disillusioned with the Bell System and asked Xen Portwood, who was the father of a former high school friend, to hire me at KUB. After only a short while I became the victim of harassment by co-workers who objected to my hard work as making them look bad. This harassment included telling me stories of how they had screwed my recent bride on the hood of a car while they were in high school together, and later by letting the air out of my car tires while the car was parked in the KUB employee parking lot. I talked to the department head, but felt I needed to resign from KUB. I later returned to the Bell System where I retired.

Controversial Research and a Homeland Security Issue
In 1978, at the request of Oak Ridge National Laboratories (ORNL) Engineer Gene Hise and friends in a local steam automobile club, I began development work on a Small Fluidized Bed Combustor ( FBC ) which was currently under development at the Department of Energy (DOE). They wanted me to demonstrate this unknown combustion technology to the national steam organization meet that spring. I did this research work outside ORNL, un-funded, as a private citizen. The success on my development work was then compared to ORNL research (without my knowledge) which led to the shutting down of an 800 million dollar project to build a Solvent Refined Coal facility in Anderson County, and a blistering critique of ORNL’s and DOE’s research efforts across America for turning projects into "money spending projects" and not doing good research. Oak Ridge Engineers claimed that if my small unit were taken to fruition it would be some 14 points more efficient than the infamous Bull Run Steam Plant near Oak Ridge TN, but would have multi-fuel capability, and might be useful in concentrating nuclear waste.

HOMELAND SECURITY ISSUE

This development project has now become a Homeland Security issue because development of smaller size FBC would help remove our vulnerability from Attacks on our Huge Power Generating Plants or from CMEs "Carona Mass Ejections" from our SUN which can take down our Power Grid.

I was immediately Black Listed in our Community and labeled as Un-ethical for doing research without funding, and for being responsible for humiliation of DOE Researchers. Suddenly I was attacked and beaten by Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) Agents, then tried in Secret in a Closed Courtroom, my own parents not allowed to attend, where I was found guilty of all charges. I later discovered that a False Record of me being a Felon had been created by the State of Tennessee prior to the attack on me by the THP Agents. After failed attempts to get help from NPR, CBS-60 Minutes, Tennessee Senators Sasser and Gore in Washington, DC, I "Petitioned the Grand Jury as a Citizen" where all charges against me were removed, and then the THP Agents were fired. Several Law Firms who had scrambled to protect the THP and the State of TN from a suit, while representing me, were broken up, and the Judges removed, although none of the above incidents ever appeared in the media.

Fluidized Bed Combustion technology was later withheld from the 1982 Energy Worlds Fair held in Knoxville by ORNL, U. of TN, and TVA. I won’t speculate as to why they would withhold an exciting new technology from our Energy Worlds Fair..

I later wrote, prosecuited, and received patent’ #4,580,505. for “A Method and Apparatus of Fluidized Beds Involving Heat or Combustion”. On my first visit to the United States Patent Office to see if I had actually done something worth while, Patent’ Examiners had me lecture before a large group of Examiners who were excited about my development and later showed me other technologies that they felt were not receiving honest effort in our research community, and they encouraged me to file for patent’. I only wrote and Prosecuited the patent’ myself, in an atempt to help with my mothers emotional condition which had deteriorated sevierly after the attack and subsequent Legal Chicanery on me.

I later entered an Electronics School to learn how to automate the Small FBC in the next step in development.  But the School staff refused to allow me to use it as a Project for Graduation. "I was stunned."

After moving into my home on Skyline Drive and discovering that my elderly neighbor was being harrassed by a neighbor and by her family using our City Codes Enforcement in an attempt to get control of her property and money, I attempted to protect her by caring for her yard and home without charging her. Codes Enforcement then thretened me with condeming my home if I didn’t stop helping her, and bragged that they could do it..., and did. Then KUB cut off my power. I took pictures of my home and property and took them to the US Attorney and the harrassment stopped and my power was restored.

In 2001, after the 9-11 incident in America, I returned to a former aviation career at the Skyranch Airport where I did thousands of dollars of (as of this date) unpaid maintenance, repair, and restoration to aircraft working with a small group of members including one KUB supervisor who had been partners in an aircraft with a cult member who was an illegal drug supplier for a cult that I had fought against in the 1970s.  In this Cult many professional people in Knoxville had committed suicide by gunshot, but never received legal or media attention. Some of these professionals were Attorney Charles Rader, dance studio owner Ann Dale Guinn, and Engineer Jerry Eggers, just to mention a few.

One afternoon this KUB supervisor engaged the ignition of an aircraft I was priming for startup for him without informing me, and nearly chopped me up with the propeller. Only my alertness and carefulness saved my life. A witness (and pilot) standing near me was shocked that he had violated all safety procedures and appeared to be trying to harm me! Another of his partners, a Psychiatrist, had employed some of the previously mentioned Cult leaders at Helen Ross McNabb Mental Health Center during the suicides.

In 2010 I exposed a group of Bullies at a neighborhood Masonic Lodge who were threatening other members and in a later incident physically harmed me. Several of the members of this Lodge are current and former KUB and TVA employees.

I don’t want to say this fire in my home may have been intentional, but it really looks suspicious given my history with KUB, and KUB employees. But in any event, whether accidentally or intentionally, KUB did cause this fire, and I respectfully request that KUB repair or replace my home and provide compensation for all damages without the threat of litigation.
And that's all I have to say about the Fire.
