ATTN. MRS YEE. WILL YOU HELP US ❓ SEE APPLE VALLEY CA POLICE DEPARTMENT CASE #182504016. IN 1982-83-84. I WAS ONE OF THE MOST TALKED ABOUT ATHLETE IN THE USA NFL MLB NBA BOXED AND RAN TRACK BUT I’VE BEEN ILLEGALLY ERASED AND ROBBED.
WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET MY IDENTITY RESTORED?
40 YEARS AGO MR. TRUMP WAS VERY INTERESTED IN GEOTHERMAL ELECTRICITY.
I’M SOMEONE THAT CAN BRING UP A GEOTHERMAL HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICITY PRIMARY.
NOW! FOR 40 YEARS I’VE BEEN ILLEGALLY ERASED, ROBBED AND TORTURED.
BELOW IS 100 PERCENT TRUE!
BESIDES ELECTRICITY. I’D PLAYED SPORTS, AND DEVELOPED REAL ESTATES. AND MUSIC
NAME IN PRO-SPORTS WERE. LOUIS KING, AND A.K.A. AVANTI SNITCH.
THIS IS URGENT:
SEE SACRAMENTO CO. SHERIFF’S PROPERTY REPORT:
NUMBER 83-83469
OPPRESSORS ARE USING TIME TO THEIR ADVANTAGE.
RIGHT NOW! THE S.B. D.A. IS SUPPOSE TO BE INVESTIGATING THE FRAUD, OF SOME OF MY PROPERTY IN SAN BERNARDINO CO. 11519 CREST DR. AND 15731 MC VAY LN. ADELANTO CA. AS WELL AS A DEVELOPMENT THAT I’D STARTED IN 1984. BUT SOMEONE FINISHED IT IN 2022. WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. 2 MILES FROM THE PROPERTY ABOVE. ( THE SAN BERNARDINO CO IS SAYING THAT THEY CAN NOT FIND THE BUILDERS PERMITS.)
IN 1983/84. I WAS CAPTAIN LOUIS KING. A.K.A. AVANTI SNITCH. I WAS PART OF PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN’S PERSONAL SECURITY. (SOMETIMES, AT THE WHITE HOUSE). I ALSO PLAYED. NFL, MLB, NBA, AND BOXED. (ALL PROFESSIONALLY).
I WAS #3. SEATTLE SEAHAWK. AND I AM IN THE RUSSELL WILSON SUPER BOWL MURAL. THAT SHOWS ALL OF THE #3. SEAHAWK PLAYERS.
(AND FOR ME. THIS #3. WOMEN WOULD STAMPEDE THE NFL FIELD TO GET CLOSER TO ME.)
BUT I’VE BEEN ERASED 100%. AND THE LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. ( SEE: VICTORVILLE P.D. INCIDENT REPORT # VC 232260082), AND THEY HAVE BEEN TORTURING, AND JAILING ME. IF I ASK THEM TO LOOK INTO IT!
THEY ARE ALSO USING, AND STEALING MY PROPERTY. LET ME EXPLAIN.
IN THE EARLY 1980’S. I’D SUFFERED MEMORY LOSS: SEE. YOUTUBE
U.S.A.#1VICTIM
UNDERSTAND: THAT IN 1984. I WAS A BILLIONAIRE!
IN THE NFL. THE ANNOUNCERS GAVE ME, MY NICK-NAME.
“KING NEW SHOES PEANUT”!
I WAS #3. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS. AND WOMEN WOULD STAMPEDE THE NFL FIELD, JUST TO GET CLOSER TO ME.
BUT WHILE I WAS SUFFERING MEMORY LOSS. THE USA. IRS DID AN AUDIT ON ME. THEY ILLEGALLY HAD THE SACRAMENTO CO. SHERIFFS, FORCE MY ACTUAL GRANT DEEDS, AND MONEY FROM ME. ONE SACTO. CO. SHERIFF THAT CAN TELL YOU MORE ABOUT THIS IS OFFICER IWASA.
(I’D BROKEN NO LAWS, AND THE AUDIT WAS COMPLETED IN 1986.) BUT MY PROPERTY HAS NEVER BEEN RETURNED.
AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE. THE, IRS, IS SAYING THAT, THEY HAVE NO W-2’S. THAT SHOW THAT I’D DONE ANY OF THE ABOVE. AND NOTHING SHOWING THAT I’D EARNED MILLIONS, OR BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. (THIS PROVES THAT, THEY ARE INVOLVED) THEY HAVE ERASED, THE PROOF.
I’AM ASKING THAT YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS! I HAVE AN INVESTIGATOR: DALE YEAGER.
(MR. YEAGER HAS FAILED TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER ALTHOUGH, I’VE PAID HIM $3,350.00). AND COMPANY. BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT HE’LL TURN UP.
PEOPLE THAT KNEW ME IN 1984. (ALTHOUGH, THEY HAVE BEEN LED TO BELIEVE THAT I’AM DEAD). JOE MONTANA, JOSE CANSECO, LENNEX LEWIS, JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ, RON HOWARD, O.J. SIMPSON, PRINCESS CAROLINE OF MONACO, RICHARD SIMMONS, WHOOPIE GOLDBERG, KAREEM ABDUL JABAR, AND MANY MORE. ( THEY WILL TESTIFY THAT I’D PLAYED PRO-SPORTS, AND WAS WEALTHY.)
I BELIEVE THAT MY OPPRESSORS, ARE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE ME INSANE, OR KILL ME.
MY TELE (442)867-8742.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO.
CALL ME.
MARK RODGERS, AGENT, AND ATTORNEY HAS MY PHOTO AS A #3 SEATTLE SEAHAWK, BUT HE WON’T GIVE IT TO ME.
AND MY OPPRESSORS TRY TO MAKE ME LOOK BAD, BECAUSE OF INDECENT EXPOSURE WHILE THEY CONTINUE ROBBING ME.
I HASSIE PIP-NEGUS MEGRAVE SWEAR UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY THAT THE FOREGOING IS TRUE AND CORRECT.
