Toxic Workplaces / Workplace Bullies

Wow what an experience.

I was employed at Gal Power Systems in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada to
work on diesel generator systems.

I was working on a pair of 16 v 92 Detroit diesel
generator sets at 4160 volt at a facility called the
South West Regional Centre in Chatham Ontario.

I was requested by the project manager Moe Gallick of
the Ontario Realty Corporation to supply and install
some fuel system components at an Ontario Provincial
Police transmitter tower close by.

When I went there to do the work I saw that this was
an old abandoned site no longer in use.

I was let into the building to begin work.

As I was to begin working I noticed the building had a an
unusual amount of rat poison or toxic chemicals
distributed inside the building.

No breathing equipment or protective clothing were
supplied by either my employer Gal Power Systems , The
Ontario Realty Corporation or the Ontario Provincial
Police.

Mr Gallick did not spend very much time in the building.

I did not complete the work.

Shortly after this I had to seek medical attention
within the Ministry of Health and was off work for
close to a year.

This was a deliberate act to try and suffocate me.

I almost died.

This act of incompetence was the end of a series of
poisonings that started a couple of years earlier when
I was working at Harper Detroit Diesel on a project at
Mississauga Hydro , probably continued when I
was hired by Thomson Technology in British Columbia
and almost ended in my death at Gal Power Systems.

Talk about bad politics or a toxic work place.

That's kind of the ultimate.

Some people say there is no corruption here in Canada.

The harassment in my workplaces to date with snide and
off colour comments about my mental health are
unbelievable and intolerable.

There is much more to the story.

"Gee does this sound familiar."

Made a friend at work one year.

Turned out she had environmental illness.

There was a person there, one supervisor in a 2-supervisor building,

...............................who had a racial problem.

Well, the other supervisor needed an extra worker and got permission to get my friend from the other unit.

That's when it all started and went

..............................downhill from there.

My friend had no say-so in the whole affair and didn't even know til after the fact.

But that didn't matter to this person.

She started spraying the office with perfume, raid,

anything to make my friend severely ill.

Everyone knew my friend had this problem so there were no excuses.

What simply floored me is the fact that even after being

"informed thru medical documentation", etc.
 
................................it just got worse.

They started resorting to 'no-smell' raid and started spraying my office a lot ……………unknown to me

giving me these horrible headaches

I don't get headaches unless something is very wrong.

Took me a while to figure out what the heck was going on as I had no idea about my own sensitivities,

and even thought maybe some of it was just in my friends mind....

So when they started doing it to me to get to her....

well...like they say...nothing works like the real thing baby.

I started learning about health problems.

Combined with the 'new building syndrome' there a year earlier,

I started putting 2 and 2 together and became a believer.

The supervisor in the gaining unit thought she was a nut case.

Her co-workers did too and even joined the racist in spraying chemicals all over the building and especially in her office.

It got to the point she had to have an environmental air cleaner in her office and had to have her own key with only the supervisor having the other key,

and to keep her door shut during work hours as much as humanly possible.

People there were so rude, and ugly to her.

Of course, none of them had ever been seriously ill either.

That is the only thing we could come up with why everyone was acting like a horses butt.

My friend was older than everyone didn't help matters.

Even though everyone knew her condition was life-threatening

she had another problem linked in w/this,

they joked about it behind her back and still schemed.

This was about 15 yrs ago.

Now there is more info out in the public about

anaphalactic shock and severe allergies that kill

and more people that have them too.

Yet those that have these problems have to deal with all these bozo's in the workplace.

But, yeah, I have seen that 'gang-up-on' mentality played out over and over in various places as if everyone was still back in high  school.

Hi

Describe the rat poison ?

I was employed at Gal Power Systems

http://www.galpower.com/index02.shtml

It was an old transmitter station / tower no longer used.

Morris Gallick said they had to maintain power to the building and keep the diesel generator in working order to maintain the

"aircraft warning lights" on the 200 foot tower.

Inside the station they had what would be considered "normal pest control" in place.

Plus what seemed to be an unusual amount of "rodent control equipment" placed all around the building.

I have been to countless remote transmitter stations.

There seemed to be a sticky chemical srayed in a thin layer on every part and everything on the inside of the transmitter station.

It had a sweet smell to it.

This happened  August / September of 1999 I think.

I looked around and decided, "I can't work in here".

Gut instinct.

Morris Gallick spent no time in the building.

Shortly after this I wound up in the healthcare system for almost a year.

My health started failing towards the last part of 1997 at Harper Detroit Diesel having been poisoned at that time.

I just felt not well or a state of confusion when I try to remember back to that time.

Rodent Control

Hi

I was employed at Gal Power systems.

http://www.galpower.com/index02.shtml

At a remote "radio tower" or "microwave tower" site they have in place "rodent control".

Whatever type of pesticide would be used for that.

Some of these remote sites may not get a visit from a technician for 1 month, 2 months or longer if there was no indication from the alarm systems that all was normal.

They do not use so much rodent control that you have to

wear a "space suit" while working inside these buildings.

I have been to "hundreds" of remote transmitter sites.

20 years in a service truck.

Some of these remote sites are a 8 to 10 hour drive from home base in northern Ontario.

In other parts of Canada it is "off road" or "fly in".

Very remote.

Some of these systems are "prime power".

No commercial power.

Multiple "extended run" diesels take turns running to keep the site powered up.

Some times these remote sites will run for 1 year with no visits from people.

Rodent control,

the same as in your kitchen,

no "space suits" needed to protect technicians working inside these building.

The site I worked at is a 5 minute drive from downtown Chatham, Ontario, Canada.

A good size small town in south western Ontario.

Morris Gallick did not leave the site.

He waited outside in his truck.

This is unusual, in my experience, people who usually look after these tower sites always work side by side with the contractor, and I mean always.

I did not spend really any time at all in the building.

Perhaps the excessive amount of toxic chemicals inside this building 5 minutes from downtown was an over site.

It sure did make me sick, I almost died.

Workplace Mobbing / Gangstalking
 
Here is a copy of a letter I sent to the Toronto Sun newspaper about an article that was published.

This incident that happened to me is an odd health and safety issue.
 
Here is a situation where a union might have made a difference.

I will be sending more letters to various groups in the up coming year.
 

Hi Mr Margolis.

I found your article about Edwin P. Wilson all too frightening and hits me personally way too close to home.

I was working at Harper Detroit Diesel

http://www.harperddl.com/ - http://www.harperddl.com/

in Toronto and one of my co workers or somebody in my customer base or the competition started poisoning my food over a period of months.

I also believe some types of "radiation devices" were used to make me sick.
 
I almost died.
 
I had worked in the diesel generator industry for twenty two years as a field service technician at a variety of dealers and distributors based mostly out of the Toronto area.

In this position I worked in and around all types of generator set applications such as apartment buildings, schools, retail stores, hospitals, marine units, data centres, airports, telephone switching centres, or just about anywhere you would find a generator set.

This position also took me into a lot of high security buildings or buildings that you don't need to know exist.

Some of the customers I have dealt with include Metropolitan Toronto Police, the Ontario Provincial Police, the R.C.M.P., Bell Canada, Transport Canada, Navigation Canada, Public Works Canada, Department of
National Defence, the Ontario Realty Corporation, Nexacor Realty, AT&T, Cantel, C.I.D.A., External Affairs, and many, many more.

I did quite a bit of work on high security micro wave and fibre optics communication links all around North America.

This is where this poisoning comes from.

One person I worked 15 yrs with on these systems, who I had not seen in 4 yrs, called me at home one night in the middle of this series of poisonings, who I didn't even know had my home phone number and asked "aren't you dead yet".

I wound up on the West Coast of Canada standing in a parking lot with what were suppose to be Chinese Nationals from F.E.T.A.C. being photographed by the R.C.M.P. as part of a smear campaign.

The worst part of all of this is Gerry Duffett almost died, thats me.

The next worst part of all of this, is this is my tax dollars paying these freaks.

I wonder how many times a day this goes on. I still don't know who poisoned me.

I was off work for almost one year.

I can now 5 yrs later barely hold a full time job.

The harassment in my work place is unbelievable as far as off colour and snide comments about my mental health.

There is much more to the story.

Thank you.

P.S.

Just in the last couple of years a new fibre optics system was installed in Ontario to link all the power generation stations to one central control centre code named Ledcor.

Don't tell anybody you know that, somebody might try to kill you.

   NSA SPYING ON AMERICANS

by

James F. Marino

Read complete article located here :

http://9-11themotherofallblackoperations.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html


The NSA Can Track Any American 24 Hours A Day

The following are excerpts from John St. Clair Akwei's lawsuit against the National Security Agency.

The information that John has furnished us with is astounding,

and shows that there is

..............no longer any question,

that the privacy Americans thought that they had has been destroyed through this covert hi-tech surveillance system.

The United States Intelligence community has many paid shills looking to discredit John Akwei's accounts,

as they do with all ......Government whistle blowers.

However, John's information is so detailed and of such a disturbing nature,

that anyone not connected with the Intelligence community in this country (NSA/CIA/FBI),

who has been given access to John's lawsuit,

is making certain that it is circulated on the Internet.

What has made abundantly clear by John's lawsuit,

is that the National Security Agency is using its

.......advanced computer and satellite technology

to not only illegally spy on many American citizens within the privacy of their own homes,

but also using this technology to

.........scan and influence

the thoughts of those persons being targeted.

Yes, this technology is ....................so complex

that it can actually .................scan people's thoughts and influence them.

It is the most advanced form of

..............synthetic mind control

known to human kind.

And it is only

...........one piece of advanced technology

that the Intelligence communities

around the world have access to.

There are many other types of directed energy weapons which can be used to

destroy electrical systems,

torture .................and in certain cases actually

..............murder human beings,

and also alter weather patterns

"HAARP".

The following information should be circulated to every American citizen.

Since it concerns the future of the human race,

the sooner it is circulated the better.


THROUGH THE USE OF ADVANCED PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY

THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY

CAN NOW TRACK ANY AMERICAN BY THE

ELECTROMAGNETIC FLUX

GIVEN OFF BY THEIR OWN BODIES

THEY CAN TRACK YOU ANYWHERE

The Problem Surfaces / Microwave Mind Control

Reprinted from the June-July 1992 edition of

UNCLASSIFIED (Vol. IV, No. 3),

published by

The Association of National Security Alumni, Washington, D.C.


by

Julianne McKinney

Read complete article located here

http://www.xs4all.nl/~sm4csi/nwo/MindControl/Microwave.Harassment.And.Mind-Control.Experimentation.htm



The August-September 1991 issue of UNCLASSIFIED reviewed

Hamline University’s Public Administration report

on the resolution of MKULTRA cases in 1988.

Although the shocking details of

......medical ethics abuses

by the U.S. and Canadian governments were amply detailed,

Washington and Ottawa

citing national security and government privilege

stalled for so long

......that the cases never came to trial.

The surviving victims settled for a pittance in an out-of-court settlement.

Since no individuals or agencies were held legally accountable,

the door was left open for

......possible resumption of similar “mind-control” activities.

      In the context of that article, we mentioned briefly that some half-dozen people had contacted us with appeals for assistance in ending what they believe to be

electronic harassment and mind-control experimentation,

possibly involving the CIA.

We decided to take a closer look at this situation.

We are now in touch with approximately a dozen individuals located throughout the United States

who appear to be targets of harassment and mind-control experimentation

involving directed-energy technologies.

By mid-November 1992, that number had increased to 25.

Typically, persons who complain of being

“zapped by radio waves” and of “hearing voices”

are stigmatized as

......psychotic, delusional or schizophrenic.

Being mindful of this, as well as aware of the treatment accorded

......UFO and psychic phenomena “freaks,”

we approach this subject with a

......high degree of caution.

Based on our preliminary investigation,

including interviews with the affected individuals,

we conclude that the matter is

......serious and should be pursued further.
