COLLINS, VINSON A. Member of the Ku Klux Klan KKK

Known KKK associate connected to Gary Vinson Collins the former now deceased Town of Danville CA.  The name is from days gone by but there are lynching committees in Contra Costa County.  The inner circle of conspirators is about to be outed. 

COLLINS, VINSON A.

COLLINS, VINSON A. (1867–1966). Vinson Collins, attorney and legislator, was born near Honey Island, Texas, on March 1, 1867, to Warren J. and Eboline (Valentine) Collins. After graduating from Sam Houston State Normal College (now Sam Houston State University) in 1893, Collins taught for six years in Grand Saline and studied law in his spare time. He passed the bar examination in 1901 and opened a law practice in Beaumont. During three terms in the Texas Senate (1910–14, 1916–17) he supported prohibition, woman suffrage,^qqv and an eight-hour workday. In 1913 he wrote the state's first workmen's compensation laws. He was defeated by Martin Dies, Sr., in a subsequent race for the United States House of Representatives. Although he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, Collins entered the 1924 gubernatorial election without securing support from the Klan hierarchy. In the absence of official backing, he fought a bitter, unsuccessful campaign against the official Klan candidate, Felix D. Robertson^qv. Collins was among the many Texas Democrats who bolted from the party rather than endorse Alfred E. Smith during the 1928 presidential race. He served on the board of regents for state teachers' colleges from 1935 to 1950. He maintained an active law practice in Dallas, Beaumont, and Livingston until his retirement in 1957. He first married Lizzie Hopkins, who died in 1900; he later married Nannie Kuykendall of Grand Saline. Collins died in Dallas on July 5, 1966, and was survived by six children. He was buried at Livingston.

Obit: John Patrick Kelly II - Another casualty of CNET

The Obituary Channel

He knew something - it leads to how Contra Costa County Jury Selection Process is tainted - all I had to do was ask Steve Weir one pointed question days before the Election in 2012.  
I'd suspected it for years . . . as so many attorneys told me it was impossible to win certain cases in Contra Costa County.

Plane Crash ► Eric Nunn Las Vegas NV - An Alternate Theory

Date: June 29th 2008
Las Vegas NV
Event: Single Engine Plane Crash - loss of altitude due to climate conditions
NTSB: Focus of crash was blamed on Pilot error due to lack of extensive flying hours

Candidate for office Eric Nunn crashed into Mt. Charleston NV after taking off from North Las Vegas Airport after a weekend getaway with Craig Wilson and their wives. 

In 2008 Mr. Nunn was a candidate for Contra Costa County Dist 5 Supervisors running against incumbent Federal Glover.  My frustration with Contra Costa County has the numerous events occurring around me which today are known as CNET but my personal experiences extend from the 1980's where the then scummy Pittsburg Police Officer Eric Bergen murdered the Safeway Manager during a takeover robbery in 1988. 

We communicated over many months via email and phone.  As the campaign moved forward we finalized via a phone call on June 28th for the following Wednesday. He perished before we could meet.

I was planning to share my personal research on corruption in Contra Costa County - specifically cases that appear to parked without investigation covering in some cases more than 30 years old.  

I am positive Phillip Marshall found me in Walnut Creek. 
He shared what happened to Gery Webb.
My view this entire collage represents
five murders of many

After learning of Mr. Wiretap Chris Butler then months later discovering that my email password had been breached I now suspect that our communications were exposed. Butler knows Tanabe, Tanabe knows BART Officers including Wilson, our mutual connections are the Branagh's, Movie Making clubs, and someone who lost over 1 million to an IRON Worker who knows the Iron Worker who attacked me at the Farmers Market who is friends with the cop that arrested me.

The same people are connected to the Piedmont Lumber Fire where I've uncovered a group using Amatuer Radios to communicate which is how I figured out they were able to override radios and confuse the operators and dispatch.

It's worse when you factor in the San Bruno Fire, Piedmont Lumber and the Kinder Morgan which looks very similar when you add in all the people I know locally connected to these same people.
