Is Dr. Akilah Weber Pierson Involved in Human Trafficking?

I know, I know. That title is explosive and most people’s first reaction would be revulsion that I would make such an allegation. However, Senator Weber Pierson has done several concerning things that, taken together, indicates she’s helping to facilitate human trafficking: voting for AB-1518, voting for AB-495 in its original form, encouraging vulnerable people to give their private data to an organization that is a known sexual predator, and trying to hide the identity of said organization so that potential victims don’t know who they are giving their private data to.

1. One of the many laws passed in the current legislative cycle that I believe to be a violation of our constitutional protections is AB-1518 . It was passed in 2025 and codified as Revenue and Tax Code 18537. Dr. Weber Pierson voted for this law. In reading the legislation, I saw that the same law had passed in 2020 as AB-2660 (chapter 102 Burke), but it was a temporary law that expired at the end of 2025. It was codified as Revenue and Tax Code 18624. The updated version passed in 2025 is the same, it just makes the law permanent.

In reading AB-1518, I found some disturbing details that indicate the State is not only allowing human trafficking, it is profiting off of it. Group tax returns are filed by employers on behalf of their illegal alien employees. The employers are only required to say how many illegal employees they have and the total amount of money the illegals were paid. The illegals are charged the highest state tax rate, which is 12.3%. They are also required to pay an extra 1% mental health fee, which is normally only imposed on those who make $1 million or more per year. Everyone files as single, with no deductions or credits allowed.

I was a guest on Paul Preston’s Agenda 21 Radio

On Friday, January 30, Paul Preston had me on the third hour of his show. I come in at the 2-hour, 11-minute mark. For some reason, I was unable to embed the video, so just click on the link to see the video. Show Notes:

2 hours, 12 minutes – Between the years 2008 and 2016, the Franchise Tax Board, California’s Income Tax Agency, “lost” 16 of the 20 payments that my husband and I had made. When I say “lost,” I mean that they cashed our checks right away, but didn’t apply the money to our account. Instead of locating the “lost” funds, FTB aggressively harassed me to pay the “outstanding balance” and imposed penalties for “paying late.” Here is the list of payments: https://gwsandiego.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/chart-of-payments-made-to-FTB-updated.pdf

2:13 – Certain that I had been ensnared in an embezzlement and racketeering scheme, in 2020, I filed suit in San Diego Superior Court: https://gwsandiego.net/blog/?p=217.

Shawn E. Moore Had Me Back to Update on FTB and Talk About Betty Yee’s Deceptive Gubernatorial Run

For some reason, WordPress won’t let me embed the video, but here is the link: https://rumble.com/v708zne-episode-155-christi-grab-returns-to-talk-about-betty-yee-and-the-ftb.html?mref=4jj09p&mc=9r6uw

Here are the show notes:

:30 Oaths — These are the oaths I have collected. Why oaths are required, how to order them and who to report violations to.

3:50 FTB — Here is both the video and text of the speech I made on September 8, where I tried to make FTB employees understand that they are being set up as patsies by their bosses.

Update on FTB’s $10 Million “Education and Outreach” Program For Low Income People

February 2026 update: FTB finally responded. It is issue 7 in this post that encompasses several topics.

October 2025 Update: FTB was supposed to respond to this Public Comment by October 7. FTB has yet to respond. Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that once the NGOs sign up the migrants for health care benefits, the migrants are sent a voter registration card.

I’ve previously posted about a program that I find concerning. The quick summary is that the State of California’s legislature passed a law requiring that the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) (California’s income tax agency) give Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) (another term for charities) $10 million dollars per year to notify low-income people that they may qualify for a cash refund if they file a tax return. More details are in the previous post.

At the September 2025 FTB Board Meeting, I wanted to make a 5.5 minute speech where I called out a portion of the corruption that I’ve uncovered in connection to this program. I also connected some dots to indicate this program has nefarious purposes. This was the 5.5-minute speech that I wanted to make:

However, I was limited to 3-minutes, so I had to essentially cut the speech in half. I kept the corruption part, but wasn’t able to properly connect the dots. This was the speech that I actually made at the meeting.

Table of Contents of My FTB Fight

I know that my website can be difficult to navigate, so here is a “FTB Table of Contents”: a list of what I have done with links to more information on each item. I am still working on adding links, so if you need more information ASAP on a particular topic, post a comment and I will make digging that particular info up a priority.

The issue that started it all:

Between the years 2008 and 2016, the Franchise Tax Board, California’s Income Tax Agency, “lost” 16 of the 20 payments that my husband and I had made. When I say “lost,” I mean that they cashed our checks right away, but didn’t apply the money to our account. Instead of locating the “lost fund,” FTB aggressively harassed me to pay the “outstanding balance” and imposed penalties for “paying late.” Here is the list of payments.

Update on the Oath/Bond Situation for 2025/2026

In my last post on this topic, I had stated that I’d ordered copies of oaths and bonds from the State Senate Rules Committee on December 3, 2024 for some state senators and many staffers. Those oaths/bonds were due on December 17. As of that post on March 7, 2025, the State Senate had not provided any oaths. In that document, I’d also requested other information, as well.

In my last post on this topic, I’d also stated that I’d ordered oaths/bonds from the Secretary of State on 100 people. On February 10, 2025, the SOS stated that only two of those people had current oaths on file, and no one had a bond on file (the images of the letter are at the bottom of the previous post on the topic).

I always said that the large number of people lacking current oaths could be a mistake and that I was trying to confirm that the SOS information was accurate. However, the lack of bonds is intentional — it seems that the State of California stopped following the bond laws when Reagan was governor.

California State Senate Payroll Data

I noticed that Transparent California has no information on the California State Senate employees. So I made a public records request and got some payroll data for the last 10 years. I have not had a chance to parse the data yet, and I am putting it out in the hopes that someone beats me to it. Happy information hunting!

“We The People” Can Take Back Our Constitutional Power Via Civil Grand Juries

TLDR: In most counties, now is the time to apply to the civil grand jury. Serving on the civil grand jury is an amazingly powerful way to root out government corruption. Even if you can’t serve, you can contact the people who are on the civil grand jury and ask them to utilize their power to root out corruption.

The civil grand jury segment is from 14:30 – 32:00 of this video. From 4:45 – 14:30, I give an update on the oath situation: https://gwsandiego.net/blog/?p=3259. From 32:00 – 40:30, I talk about FTB’s $20 million scheme to hunt down low income people: https://gwsandiego.net/blog/?p=3185. From 37:00 – 41:00 we talk about CA’s opaque and questionable spending habits.

A colleague of mine, Richard Michael of Big Bad Bonds, has come up with a brilliant strategy for “we the people” to take back our constitutional power: restoring the power of civil grand juries.

Each county in California is required, at least once a year, to impanel at least one grand jury. Grand juries, historically, have jurisdiction over criminal matters. In California, however, the Legislature has mandated that the county grand juries must provide oversight over specific civil matters in the county (and cities/unincorporated areas within the counties), as well.

As Richard explained to me, the civil grand jury is incredibly powerful as they have the power to investigate corruption at county/city government agencies. However, the courts and district attorneys have figured out how to control and neutralize this power. Richard is encouraging us to take the power back.

Kat Espinda of One New Earth Interviewed Me!

One New Earth interviewed me about FTB’s corruption. We also talked about the devolution of the mortgage industry that I witnessed from 1996 – 2007, how I holistically cured a rare kidney disease that I developed after the birth of my child, and, of course, my efforts to have Scott Wiener’s legislative work voided.

Here are links to more information on some of the topics we talked about in this episode:

Quick Update on How to Hold Public Officials Accountable for Oath Violations

I wanted to let everyone know that there are at least three more avenues of accountability that can be pursued for oath violations:

You can file a petition with the State Personnel Board, who can (at their discretion) make the unlawful government employees leave their position (via Statutory law):

2. You can file a request for a Writ of Quo Warranto with the Attorney General’s office (via statutory law).

3. The strategy that The People’s Operation Restoration is utilizing is A Writ of Quo Warranto via Common Law, which means serving the Writ as individual citizens, not via the Attorney General. The People’s Operation Restoration believes that once we collect enough of these, we can request that the military step in to remove the unlawful government employees from their posts.

All three of these are on my to-do list to file against the FTB executives and other government employees who do not have properly executed oaths. Unfortunately, life responsibilities have forced me to put this project on the back-burner, so I haven’t had a chance to get to any of them yet. If anyone wants to jump in and help me file these, I would be thrilled!

September 2024 update: Apparently, you can also file a complaint with the military by sending an email to saf.ighotline@us.af.mil.

Note: I am not suicidal, I don’t have depression issues, I am a careful driver, I rarely drink alcohol, and I do not use drugs of any kind (not even aspirin). My family lives a wholesome life. If something happens to me or my family that is out of character for us, we were set up by the State of California as revenge for exposing their crimes.
