This video is of poor quality because I had to travel to the CA Supreme Court, sit in a room with a court clerk and a deputy sheriff, and record what I could with my cell phone.
The video is clips from the February 9, 2017 confirmation of San Diego Superior Court Judge William Dato to be an appellate justice. Those who confirmed Governor Brown’s nominee are Commission on Judicial Appointments (COJA) panelists Chief Justice Cantil-Sakayue, Appellate Justice Manuel Ramirez, and CA Attorney General Becerra.
I spoke against the appointment on the grounds of Honest Services Fraud. Judge Dato was instrumental in creating the void judgment in the matter of Bruce Kelman and GlobalTox, Inc. v. Sharon Kramer. Case No. GIN044539 North San Diego County Superior Court (2005 to when the courts are made to stop framing me for libel with a void judgment).
GlobalTox is co-owned by Bryan D. Hardin, CDC NIOSH Deputy Director (retired). His scientific fraud is used extensively in mold litigations for the defense and has been since 2002. I exposed in 2005 that it is not sound science, but has been extensively marketed as such. They have been enabled to retaliate against me ever since in the compromised California courts, by not just unlawful, but full blown willful criminal acts.
The scientific fraud is an unscientific toxicological risk model created by Mr. Hardin and Mr. Kelman in 2001. The medical journal in which it was originally published states it is now “CONTENT NOT FOR REUSE“. But it is still mass marketed by the CDC and ATSDR via funding its proliferation in journal articles which refer to the original journal article. It is still used by the defense in mold litigations.
I have asked DHHS to stop doing this, numerous times in the past fifteen years, while explaining they are erroneously marketing a debunked litigation defense argument as legitimate science. I have asked numerous U.S. senators to intercede to make it stop, while explaining how the scientific fraud being promoted by government is aiding our troops in moldy military housing to be “Ambushed at Home” — by promoting the false concept that the moldy housing is proven not to be able to have caused their illnesses.
Kelman & GlobalTox v. Kramer is a blatantly fixed SLAPP suit. I asked Mr. Becerra to make it stop four years ago. He misled me to believe (on video) that the CADOJ would investigate my crime report in earnest. But they never really would.
The obstructed from being vacated void judgment that they continue to use to harass me decrees “NOW THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDICATED AND DECREED that Plaintiff Bruce Kelman recover the sum of $1.00 (one dollar and no cents) in this motion as nominal damages from Defendant Sharon Kramer and costs in the amount of $7,252.65, and that Plaintiff GlobalTox, Inc. recover nothing in this action”.
In addition to mass amounts of fraud upon the court abetting fraud in public health policies that this illegal-legal instrument is being used to conceal; missing from its decree is that the jury found I was not guilty of libeling GlobalTox and was awarded my costs as a trial prevailing party — by ruling only of Judge Dato who left the void judgment in effect in 2009, in violation of Penal Code 134.
The Administrative Presiding Justice of the Fourth District Division One Court of Appeals is Judith McConnell. She has obstructed the vacating of the void judgment since 2010. Even though by law a void judgment cannot be used for any purpose, the courts and GlobalTox continue to use this one to frame me for libel – for my daring to expose how their CDC backed scientific fraud harms thousands.
Mr. Becerra was provided 45 pages of documents that show how the courts continue to frame me for libel by use of an obstructed from being vacated void judgment. Still, he voted to promote one of the involved judges, Dato, to be a justice; thereby abetting the retaliation I continue to experience and the DHHS associated fraudsters that I exposed, to rage on.
The 45 pages may be read here:
1.) February 2, 2017 to the COJA and cc’d to Governor Brown RE: OBJECTION TO THE APPOINTMENT OF JUDGE WILLIAM S. DATO TO THE FOURTH DISTRICT DIVISION ONE COURT OF APPEAL (4th/1st) ON THE GROUNDS OF HONEST SERVICES FRAUD WITH 4th/1st PRESIDING JUSTICE JUDITH MCCONNELL & JUSTICE PATRICIA BENKE, et.al.
2.) February 2, 2017 Request to Governor Brown cc’d to COJA “RE: Please act to thwart cronyism & unpunished-fraud in California’s courts by rescinding your nomination of Judge William S. DATO to the Fourth District Division One Court of Appeals”
3.) The Void Judgement
4.) Judge Tom Nugent unlawfully permanently enjoined me in 2012 from telling what they have been doing to me by criminal means with GlobalTox owners (now for seventeen years). I ignore it and they ignore that I ignore it — because its a known fraudulent attempt to silence me about one of the worst abuses of anti-SLAPP laws to keep scientific fraud in government backed policies and toxic torts to defraud the public.
5.) February 3, 2017 Confirmation from Chief Justice Cantil-Sakayue’s executive secretary that Mr. Becerra received the 45 pages showing how the courts frame me for libel, prior to voting to promote a case fixing judge.
One year after Judge Dato became Justice Dato in 2017, over my evidenced objection for case-fixing a SLAPP suit with a void judgement to defraud the public; Justice Dato was appointed by the Chief Justice to serve on the California Commission on Judicial Performance, the state’s judicial ethics watchdog.
GlobalTox, Inc. changed its name to Veritox, Inc. in 2005. It was acquired by J.S. Held in 2018. Mr. Kelman and Mr. Hardin are Senior VPs of Toxicology at J.S. Held and continue to serve as expert defense witnesses in toxic torts. They continue to influence federal policies.
J.S. Held was acquired by Kelso & Co. in 2019. According to Kelso’s website, “J.S. Held is a leading specialty consulting firm with a focus on the insurance claims management sector. The company provides insurance carriers and loss adjusters with specific domain expertise that leads to more accurate claim outcomes. J.S. Held offers specialized services across six key verticals including building consulting, forensic architecture and engineering, environmental health and safety, forensic accounting, surety and construction advisory.”
Below is a link to a letter sent to EPA on 10/29/2020. It is from the Environmental Defense Fund, Earthjustice, Natural Resources Defense Council, Physicians for Social Responsibility, and Union of Concerned Scientists. They objected to Mr. Hardin being appointed to the EPA’s Toxic Substances Control Act, Science Advisory Committee on Chemicals.
The integrity-in-science organizations wrote of being aware that Mr. Hardin has a twenty year history of influencing federal policies to lend undue credibility to his toxic tort expert defense witnessing; and that he does not disclose the income he generates from influencing environmental health policies for profit as an expert defense witness in toxic torts. SACC-Nominations_NGO-Comments_Final.pdf (edf.org)
Their references include the evidence of a twenty year history of Mr. Hardin doing that exact thing in the mold issue when marketing scientific fraud into public health policies in support of what could best be described as “an illicit interstate enterprise with peculiar sway over the California judicial system”. The organizations cited my research about Mr. Hardin via citing a medical journal article I co-authored, as source reference no. 33. I wrote the sections about Mr. Hardin’s dishonest work in the mold issue.
If Mr. Becerra did his job as CA Attorney General — prosecuted rather than abetted the judicial case-fixing of Kelman & GlobalTox v. Kramer — the scientific fraud in the mold issue that I exposed seventeen years ago would be eradicated. SLAPP parties to the fixed litigation, Mr. Hardin & Mr. Kelman, would most likely be in jail today along with their CA attorneys and several judges, justices, and clerks — rather than Mr. Hardin being considered for appointment to an EPA toxic substance advisory panel.
On October 2, 2020, a fellow good government advocate and I sent a letter to then VPOTUS candidate Kamala Harris (now former U.S. Senator and former California Attorney General). We asked Ms. Harris one simple question, to which we have yet to receive a reply. The question was (and still is):
If elected Vice President of the United States, what will you do to encourage vigorous prosecutions of U.S. court officers who deliberately violate rights of individuals through knowing abuse of legal proceedings?
On the Ides of March, 2021, the United States Senate ruled by “Unanimous Consent Agreements” that it is “Ordered That with respect to the motions to invoke cloture on the nominations of Xavier Becerra, of California, to be Secretary of Health and Human Services, with the rank of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary…the mandatory quorum calls required under Rule XXII be waived. (Mar. 15, 2021.)”

Update May 2023 with emails to HHS’s General Counsel Samuel Bagenstos.
It is extremely fortuitous for the People, for equities in justice, and for environmental science that the only government decision maker who is on video pledging to investigate the case-fixed SLAPP matters of Bruce J. Kelman and GlobalTox, Inc. v. Sharon Kramer (May 2005) and Bruce J. Kelman v. Sharon Kramer (November 2010) is now the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Xavier Becerra.
Toward the goal of helping Secretary Becerra become a man of his word, I have begun emailing the General Counsel of HHS, Mr. Samuel Bagenstos. Mr. Bagenstos is aware that I am “demanding” for Secretary Becerra to honor these, thus far, disingenuous words that he said on February 9, 2017:
“If you’ll allow me to interject for Mrs. Kramer’s sake, that the department of justice is there, available, if she has some matter she’d like to bring to the attention of my office, we’ll certainly consider that. We always will. We always should.”
And to apologize for these words that were also said, while inferring that Secretary Becerra believes me to be a moron who wastes my time complaining of frivolous matters that are not criminal and harm no one:
But your [Appellate Justice Nominee William Dato’s] stock went up when Judge Pressman said you eat cheap tacos. So, I think Judge Pressman was talking to us when he talked about harmless error.. And so my questions, Madam Chief Justice are very few [NONE]. Because I suspect we’re in the room of extremely harmless errors and we look forward to the opportunity to elevate Judge Dato to the Fourth District. Aye.
The above words were said in response for my requesting investigation of how the SLAPP fixed matters in California with HHS policy deformers as benefitting SLAPP plaintiffs continue to harm the people. I said:
Um, what I really came here to ask is for the Attorney General of the State of California [now Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services] the to investigate these unpunished crimes, CJP [Commission on Judicial Performance] unpunished crimes. Because it’s harming a lot of people across the United States. Will you do that?
2023 EMAILS TO MR. BAGENSTOS:
Below is a link to the first six emails I have sent to Mr. Bagenstos from April 10 to April 13, 2023.
2023 First Six Emails to HHS General Counsel
Email No. 7, May 8, 2023 “SECRETARY BECERRA KNEW OF MY JAILING & FALSE CRIMINAL FBI RECORD PRIOR TO JOKING WITH CALIFORNIA JURISTS ON FEBRUARY 9, 2017″
Below is the link to the recording of the phone message I left with Mr. Bagenstos’ receptionist on May 22, 2023 explaining that Mr. Bagenstos’s lack of response to my pleas for help are scaring me that I will be hurt again for refusing to be silenced.
2023.5.23 Email # 8 “Mr. Bagenstos, Your silence is scaring me“.
“Since April 6, 2023, I have sent you seven emails and left seven messages with HHS General
Counsel office receptionists. Yesterday I left a message with receptionist, Samantha.
Like the last message I left with Andre on May 10th, I told Samantha that as HHS’s General
Counsel, your silence is scaring me.
I am scared because I have Secretary Becerra on video pledging to investigate HHS’s ongoing
promotion of bastardized science as false proof that biocontaminents in water damaged buildings
(WDB) do not and cannot cause disabling brain injuries, pulmonary hemorrhaging, and
additional forms of chronic inflammation throughout the body.
He also pledged to investigate the judicial SLAPP fixing in California by Justice Judith
MCCONNELL, et.al. that is used to frame me as libeling HHS’s policy deformers, Bryan
HARDIN, Ph.D. and Bruce KELMAN, Ph.D. The purpose of framing me since 2005, has
always been to keep the deadly scam lucratively thriving in HHS policies, physician
miseducation, public health advisories, and mold litigations.
My last email to you was sent on May 8, 2023. I showed you that Secretary Becerra has known
of my March 2012 jailing and false criminal FBI record in case-fixed SLAPP since February 3, 2017.
He learned of it as a vetting-before-voting Commission on Judicial Appointments (COJA)
panelists….”
MR. BAGENSTOS IS AWARE THAT HHS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE CONCEALED REAL PARTY IN INTEREST TO THE CASE-FIXED CALIFORNIA SLAPP MATTERS
Mr. Bagenstos is now aware that HHS has always been a concealed real party in interest to the California SLAPP suits. This has occurred via concealment that Assistant Surgeon General/CDC NIOSH Deputy Director Bryan Hardin, Ph.D. (retired) has been an employee of SLAPP plaintiff GlobalTox since 2001 and a co-owner of the corporation since July of 2004. This is shown by Hardin’s CV.

Justice Judith McConnell is the Administrative Presiding Justice of the California Fourth District Division One Court of Appeals. The relevance of an HHS employee being a concealed party to SLAPP has been brought to her attention many times. Never once has she provided explanation as she has accepted incomplete Certificates of Interest Persons three times, beginning in 2006. Below is one example of concealment of HHS’s Hardin as a co-owner of SLAPP plaintiff GlobalTox/Veritox/JS Held.
I GAVE VIDEOED INTERVIEWS ABOUT THIS MATTER IN OCTOBER OF 2022
In anticipation of reaching out to the General Counsel of HHS and Secretary Becerra, I gave two interviews in October of 2022. One was for Healthy Indoors Magazine and the other was for ExposingMold.com.
Both of my interviewers have been working to restore integrity in mold issue policies and practices even longer than I have, which in nineteen years! The video recorded interviews may be watched at the two below links:
October 13, 2022, Healthy Indoors Magazine, LIVE podcast interview with guest Sharon Kramer
The promotion for the above podcast states “Is Mold in Buildings ‘Organized Crime?’ Join us LIVE on Thursday October 13, 2022 when we welcome Sharon Kramer to our program to discuss this provocative topic and more!”
And October 11, 2022 Exposing Mold interview, “The Corrupt Political History of the Toxic Mold Issue with Sharon Kramer”
