  • Opinion: NYC law enforcement is lying and running scams to try and get me kicked out of my gym.

    People I know paid NYC law enforcement to sabotage my web marketing service and make me homeless. 

    The NYC welfare office, New York City Human Resources Administration, pays $50 per month for me to have a storage room. I use some of my Baruch College student loans to pay for a gym membership so I can shower. 

    If you saw me, you would not think I was homeless.

    I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t party. I don’t have a criminal record. I have all my vaccines, and recently I’ve been tested for HIV and many other things. 

    I do everything I can to stay on top of my health. I also have a primary care doctor and dentist paid for by the government.

    Disclaimers: This is all my opinion. I’m not a doctor. I’m not an attorney. Use this information at your own risk. All information is subject to change. If you have an emergency call 911. 

    People I know pay NYC law enforcement to viciously harass me. They are trying to get me kicked out of Baruch College, my gym, my storage place, and everywhere else I go.

    If you Google the word > cointelpro > you will see many of the tactics NYC law enforcement is using. 

    FBI Records: The Vault — COINTELPRO

    NYC law enforcement has declared war on me. They spend money like it’s water. If the taxpayers saw how NYC law enforcement is spending some of their budget, people would never look at the government the same again. 

    For example, NYC law enforcement pays girls in their teens and twenties to crash into me, shove their phones in my face, and act like they are fighting for their life. If anyone doesn’t believe me, get someone from the government to pull the security video from where I’ve been around the city for the past few months, and you will see it happen hundreds of times. 

    I have reported NYC law enforcement thousands of times to hundreds of government agencies nationwide. NYC law enforcement can care less. 

    I was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor last year. The charge was eventually knocked down to a violation. If anyone looks at the evidence from the case, they would see the corruption of the criminal court system. 

    I’m not an attorney. In my opinion, the district attorney’s office knew I was innocent and could care less. The DA was ready to fry me at the request of law enforcement. 

    The public defenders were purposely trying to sabotage my case. I took a bench or judge trial. In my humble opinion, the jury would side with the government instead of a street homeless person. 

    Here are the scams NYC law enforcement is using to try and get me kicked out of my gym. 

    New York City law enforcement has a budget in the billions of dollars per year. In my opinion, NYC law enforcement uses part of their money to hire thousands of people that don’t officially work for them.

    For example, these are people that have another job outside of working for law enforcement or the government. Therefore, New York City law enforcement can use these individuals as witnesses.

    I call the unofficial members of New York City law enforcement the lie and scam team. In my opinion, their job is to lie and help New York City law enforcement run scams.

    It’s amazing to me how NYC law enforcement is so good at taking a good person and getting them to go along with the lies, scams, and sabotage. Of course, the new scammers are getting paid. Still, if you saw how viciously they harass me, you might be surprised at who you see doing it.

    NYC law enforcement has perfected harassing people in front of everyone while going undetected.

    NYC law enforcement will have their scam team harassing me in the street, a store, the subway in front of thousands of people and no one will realize.

    For example, NYC law enforcement will have their scam team cut me off, crash into me, and shove their phones in my face and no one will see what’s happening.

    NYC law enforcement has their scam team follow me around in the subway and take pictures of me when I’m sleeping.

    NYC law enforcement will then have a thousand witnesses go to my gyms and say they are scared because a homeless person belongs to their gym. 

    I wear a mask the entire time I’m at the gym. I wear black sweatpants, a black jacket, and black shoes. I’m not exactly sure how they are going to lie and say they recognize me but I’m sure they will. I also wear a mask the whole time I’m in the subway.

    If you live in the city please take a look at a picture of me on social media. Have you seen me sleeping in a chair on a NYC subway platform?

    New York City law enforcement’s lie and scam team are claiming they have.

    New York City law enforcement and their scam team stole my cell phone four times in the past two months. I will have another new phone in a day or two.

    When I have my phone, I take pictures of videos of myself every day to prove I look clean because I know NYC law enforcement and their scam team are plotting to take everyone from me with their lies.

    Another scam NYC law enforcement runs on me at the gym is they throw garbage and towels all over the place and say it’s me. I was just at the gym taking a shower. When I walked back to the lockers, several locker doors were open and there were towels all over the floor. There was also papers and garbage on the floor.

    The second I saw the mess in the locker room I knew it was cointelpro time. I closed all the locker doors and picked up the dirty towels and put them in the towel bin. 

    I always treat the front desk staff at the gym with the utmost respect at all times. I keep to myself for the most part due to the dire situation I’m dealing with. 

    I shower at least once per day. I wash my clothes all the time. It literally costs me three dollars to four dollars to wash and dry my clothes in Queens, New York, just outside Manhattan. 

    I never speak with any of the members of the gym. I keep to myself. 

    In my opinion, the MTA staff is keeping the NYC subways and platforms as clean as realistically possible. I’m not dirty. NYC law enforcement are a bunch of liars. 

    I’m always polite with patrol police officers, even when they try and run scams on me. I suspect the NYC law enforcement members that people I know are paying to sabotage me are high level and above having to interact with the public.

  • Opinion: NYC law enforcement and their plainclothes scam team are harassing me around the clock in the subway.

    I highly suspect that people I know are paying NYC law enforcement to harass me every day. When I walk around New York City, I walk on the side of the road. It’s dangerous but I don’t feel like I have a choice. If I walk on the sidewalk NYC law enforcement has their plainclothes scam team cut me off, crash into me, shove their phones in my face, spit in my face, point in my face, and yell at me. 

    Disclaimers: If you have an emergency call NYPD 911. Verify everything yourself. Use this information at your own risk. All information is subject to change. I’m not an attorney. 

    NYC law enforcement’s scam team also puts their hands on their heads and forms a wall in front of me to block me from walking. NYC law enforcement has their scam team follow me into the street and harass me with cars and trucks almost hitting us all. 

    I have notified hundreds of government agencies that I suspect that someone or multiple people are going to get run over because of NYC law enforcements scam team and to please help. So far I haven’t heard a response. I’ve contacted the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, several US Attorneys’ offices, New York City Council offices, etc. 

    In the New York City subway, I don’t have the street to escape. New York City law enforcement has their regular clothes scam team running in circles around me and shoving their phones in my face with multiple people recording it with their cell phones. 

    New York City law enforcement has people waiting behind blind spots crashing into me and shoving their phones in my face. 

    New York City law enforcement has girls that unofficially work for them crashing into me from the front and back at the same time while acting like they are under attack and fighting for their life. 

    When I call NYPD 911, my calls are filtered to operators that harass me on the phone. I’ve also called NYC Safe, and I suspect there have been times late at night when I woke them up. 

    If you Google what members of NYC law enforcement have been arrested and busted for in the last three to five years you will be shocked.

    NYPD Internal Affairs blocked my phone number. The New York FBI blocked my phone number. The NYPD blocked my phone number.

    Before anyone that works for NYC law enforcement gets excited, I always treat all members of NYPD with the utmost respect in person. The members of NYC law enforcement that I suspect people I know pay under the table, aren’t interacting with the public. They are behind the scenes.

    I’m a student at Baruch College at The City University of New York. I never mention a word about any of this to anyone at Baruch College. There are thousands of places to report NYC law enforcement harassing me outside of school and I’m trying to contact them all.

  • Opinion: Email to my grammar professor December 13, 2021.

    Greetings Professor,

    The experience I had in X class reminds me of when I hear people say that most of the information taught in college is available on the Internet. That might be the case, although the structure of college is what finally got me focused to learn grammar. 

    I’ve been saying to myself for years that I want to improve my grammar. I was confused about what videos to watch on YouTube because I wasn’t sure if the grammar is different from country to country. Also, I wasn’t sure which sources that I found on the web were credible. 

    Without the motivation that college provides, I kept putting off learning grammar for years. Thanks to X class, I’m finally on the path to elevating my writing skills. I learned a major amount about grammar this semester. Additionally, I now know where to find quality study materials to continue learning grammar. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

    Ever upward,

    Mark Pine

  • Opinion: NYC law enforcement is down to their last lie and scam to try and get me kicked out of Baruch College. 

    The final scam NYC law enforcement is trying to use to have me kicked out of Baruch College is the “he had an outburst at school scam.” 

    It’s exactly like the movie “Tango and Cash” from 1989. In the movie, people take audio out of context and edit it to get Tango and Cash in trouble. 

    People I know have been paying NYC law enforcement to harass me for years. NYC law enforcement has their scam team shove their phones in my face, crash into me, spit in my face, sneeze in my face, cough in my face, and cut me off, while shoving their phones in my face.

    I take the abuse because I have no choice. The only thing I know I can do is call and report NYC law enforcement to various government agencies. 

    NYC law enforcement is planning on taking the audio of me reporting them outside of school, along with videos of their scam team shoving their phones in my face over and over, and saying the whole thing happened at Baruch College. 

    NYC law enforcement will have so many witnesses to back up their lies, it’s not even funny. NYC law enforcement has thousands of people unofficially working for them exactly for situations like this. NYC law enforcement has people whose job it is to serve as witnesses and lie. 

    NYC law enforcement has been harassing me for years. I am more than happy to share my phone and bank records with anyone who works for the US government. They can match the locations where I’ve been to security cameras around Manhattan. They will see NYC law enforcement’s regular clothes hate/lie/scam team harassing me hundreds of times in stores, the street, and the subway. 

    I never mention a word about the police harassing me to anyone at Baruch College. I’m respectful to the staff, security, and professors at Baruch College. 

    Anytime I interact with anyone at Baruch College I only talk about school, I’m respectful and professional. 

    I keep to myself in regards to students. The only time I speak with students is in mandatory student groups which are very rare. When I speak with students I only talk about school and I’m respectful and professional. 

    People I know pay NYC law enforcement to harass me several times per day. I have reported NYC law enforcement to hundreds of government agencies and I’m still being harassed. 

    The agencies I’ve reported NYC law enforcement for taking money under the table to harass me include the US Attorney Southern District’s office, Manhattan District Attorney’s office, NYPD Internal Affairs, Civilian Complaint Review Board, Department of Investigations, and hundreds of others. 

    NYC law enforcement knows I have contacted hundreds of government agencies thousands of times to report them for harassing me. 

    NYC law enforcement is desperately trying to get me kicked out of Baruch College. I mentioned it to one of the executives at Baruch College and was told there is nothing that Baruch College or CUNY can do to help me. Therefore I dropped it. I never mention a word about NYC law enforcement harassing me to anyone at Baruch College. 

    I always treat everyone at Baruch College with the utmost respect at all times. That includes staff, professors, security guards, and students. 

    Treating people respectfully is more important than anything. I never participate in controversial conversations at Baruch College. 

    I love Baruch College, LaGuardia Community College, and The City University of New York. My goal is to earn a C or D average. Grades are not my priority. I’m at CUNY to learn.

    If you have an emergency call 911. This is my opinion. Use this information at your own risk. 

    I have no idea if it’s legal or not but in my spare time, I call random companies and organzations that I find on Google and leave them voice mail messages. I keep track of who I call so I only leave one message for each company or organization. 

    I’ll call companies at night and leave a message on their voice mail. I’ll say, “Hi my name is Mark Pine. Allegedly people I know are paying New York City law enforcement to harass me. I’ve contacted several government agencies and they aren’t helping me. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I keep track of every company I call so I’ll only leave this one message.”

    I have three days left at Baruch College until the end of the semester. I already finished all the work for one of my classes. I have the majority of the work done for the remaining three classes I’m taking. 

    I’m literally walking on eggshells. I’m being as cautious as humanly possible. I’m treating everyone with the utmost respect. I’m barely talking at all unless a Baruch College staff member or professor speaks with me. 

    I just found out for some reason I’m about to get a direct deposit next week from Baruch College for about $1,000. 

    Then in February and March of 2022, I’m going to receive about $7,000 from Baruch College student loans in my bank account to take care of necessities. 

    Not bad for a street homeless person that’s been on welfare for the past five years. 

    New York City law enforcement is gearing up to claim that for some reason “He’s going to throw that all away to have an outburst in class.” 

    I have no criminal record. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t party. I don’t do anything illegal.

    When NYC law enforcement has students they are connected with cut me off, crash into me, and shove their phones in my face, I ignore them and don’t say a word. I don’t report it, I just ignore them. 

    I can care less about grades. I just want to pass. When I try and study, NYC law enforcement has their scam team sneak up on me and blow vape and other types of smoke in my face. They have done that hundreds of times. 

    I’m always respectful to the NYPD when I see them in person. My civilian enemies that pay NYC law enforcement to torture me aren’t paying cops that are interacting with the public. My civilian enemies are paying high-ranking law enforcement that are running scams behind the scenes. 

    NYC law enforcement also has girls follow me around and pretend they are under attack and fighting for their life with people all over the place, security cameras, and NYC law enforcement supervising. 

    I’m not saying that NYC law enforcement doesn’t keep us safe because they do to some extent. I’m saying that in my opinion, keeping us safe doesn’t excuse this type of behavior. Also, in my opinion, the CCRB, IA, and DOI should be completely revamped. 

  • Opinion: Email to the Baruch College Bursar about the Fed ARPA Student Grant.

    Greetings Baruch College Bursar,

    Thank you for all the help this semester and every previous semester.

    If I’m correct, I read in CUNY First that I have a grant for $1,000 on the way from the federal government and/or CUNY.

    It appears that the federal government has really been doing what they can to look out for people that normally don’t have a platform to ask for help. I have noticed an increase from HRA too.

    From my past experience, it can take up to a week or two from the date listed on CUNY First until the money is direct deposited into my bank account. Is that correct? Am I going to receive $1,000? Is there a date range in regard to when available for students? If the answer is yes, that’s amazing.

    I had no idea there were so many extra benefits to CUNY/college when I came here from the HRA welfare job program. When I started at LaGuardia Community College before Baruch College, I didn’t even have a $200 laptop. Now I have laptops, smartphones, etc.

    LaGuardia Community College, Baruch College, and CUNY are one of the best opportunities in New York City.

    I’m spending my free time trying to earn money and elevate my situation. I hope to make everyone at CUNY proud one day. I want to be an example of someone who utilized the CUNY platform to go from homeless to an apartment and job security.

    Please advise if possible.

    Thank you and have a great day.

    Ever upward,

    I always treat everyone at Baruch College with the utmost respect at all times. That includes staff, professors, security guards, and students. Treating people respectfully is more important than anything. 

    I never participate in controversial conversations at Baruch College.

    I love Baruch College, LaGuardia Community College, and The City University of New York. 

    My goal is to earn a C or D average. Grades are not my priority. I’m at CUNY to learn and elevate my situation.

    NYC law enforcement has been viciously harassing me this semester. When I try to study, NYC law enforcement has people sneak up on me and blow smoke or vape smoke in my face. I have been to the emergency room of the hospital so many times this semester I lost count. The number is more than ten times. 

    NYC law enforcement has people harass me in the subway, in stores, in the supermarket, on campus at Baruch College, and everywhere else that I go. 

    I have reported NYC law enforcement to the US Attorney Southern District, NYPD Internal Affairs, the Civilian Complaint Review Board, the Manhattan District Attorney, the New York State Office of Higher Education, and hundreds of additional government agencies. NYC law enforcement continues to harass me every day. 

    One of the top executives at Baruch College told me there is nothing they could do to help with NYC law enforcement torturing me, so I only ask for help outside of school. 

    I never mention a word about NYC law enforcement harassing me and trying to get me kicked out of Baruch College to any staff, professors, or students at Baruch College. I keep to myself at Baruch College. When I interact with people at Baruch College I treat everyone with the utmost respect at all times. I only talk about schoolwork, that’s it. 

    NYC law enforcement has people crash into me over and over. NYC law enforcement has people shove their phones in my face, spit in my face, rob me, vandalize my property, and try to pick fights with me every day. 

    There are a few scams NYC law enforcement is using to try and get me kicked out of Baruch College right now. NYC law enforcement doesn’t care how obvious it is that they are lying because they know there is nothing I can do about it. 

    What can I do? I just filed a notice of claim to sue the NYPD. I’m not a lawyer. I have almost no knowledge about the law. I suspect that the lawsuit is going to take a long time and the odds are against me because I have no money and I don’t know what I’m doing. 

    NYC law enforcement has girls crash into me, shove their phones in my face, follow me around, and pretend I’m following them. 

    NYC law enforcement has men try and pick fights with me every day. 

    One of NYC law enforcement’s favorite scams is to take audio and video out of context and use it to get people in trouble. For example, NYC law enforcement would love to have someone at Baruch College say that I was rude or has some type of outburst. Of course, NYC law enforcement can pay as many witnesses to lie as they feel is necessary. 

    NYC law enforcement has billions of dollars. I have never seen any organization flush money down the toilet without getting anything in return as fast as NYC law enforcement. 

    In my opinion, the oversight that NYC law enforcement has is not sufficient. 

    Before I was at Baruch College I was doing web marketing. NYC law enforcement chased away the majority of my clients. Now I’m homeless and on welfare. I live on less than $15 a day. I’m not sure the exact amount. 

    I’m making the best of things and I’m not giving up. The fact remains that $15 per day is a small amount of money. Just because I’m homeless doesn’t mean I don’t have bills. The $15 per day turns into even less when it’s time to buy food. I have about $10 per day or less to buy food. 

    Thanks to Baruch College CUNY I’m getting a lot more money to live on. I’m about to get $1,000 grant in a few days that I can spend on living expenses that I’m only receiving because I’m a student at Baruch College CUNY. 

    Before I go any further, I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t party. I don’t have a criminal record. 

    In February and March 2022, I’m about to receive about $7,000 to pay my bills for the year from student loans. 

    I have been a college student at LaGuardia Community College and Baruch College for about two years. 

    NYC law enforcement is trying to claim that with all the benefits I’m receiving from being a student at Baruch College that I’m going to throw it all away for some reason. 

    I’m walking on eggshells at Baruch College. NYC law enforcement is paying students at LaGuardia Community College and Baruch College to harass me. Here are some examples.

    1. A student starts yelling and screaming at me in the middle of a class. I have no idea who the student is and I ignore the person. 
    2. A female student grabs me around the waist in the hallway right next to a security camera. I ran away. 
    3. A student walks up to me, gets about an inch away from me, and starts banging on the table, staring directly at me. 
    4. A student walks up to me and puts her hand on top of my backpack. 

    I have no idea who any of the students are. I ignore them all. Sometimes I email a person in charge of the school about it, and other times I don’t do anything. 

    I can not imagine how many innocent lives NYC law enforcement has ruined. I suspect it’s a lot of people. I have called every voicemail at the Manhattan District Attorney several times, and they ignore me. 

    So basically, if a regular person breaks the law, they will spend a fortune prosecuting the individual.

    On the flip side, if I call and say that NYC law enforcement is taking money under the table to torture me for years and try to get me kicked out of Baruch College, the Manhattan District Attorney is nowhere to be found. 

    If the families of all the people that the US Attorney Southern District and Manhattan District Attorney have fried saw how those two agencies are ignoring my pleas for help with the rock-solid evidence I’ve sent them, they wouldn’t be happy about it. 

    I have the majority of my schoolwork completed for this semester at Baruch College. I’m not mentioning a word about any of this to anyone at Baruch College. 

    I have about three weeks left of school and then I have about a month or so off until the beginning of next semester. 

    I’m going to use the break to get a head start on studying for the classes I’m taking next semester. 

    I treat everyone at Baruch College respectfully. I’m making the best of the situation. NYC law enforcement is torturing me. 

  • Opinion: NYC law enforcement is running the controlled customers scam on me.

    People I know pay NYC law enforcement to harass me every day. They chased away several of my web marketing clients, and now I’ve been homeless in NYC for about five years. 

    I can’t move into a homeless shelter because that makes it easier for NYC law enforcement to harass me. Therefore I live in the street. I have a place to shower, keep clean clothes, etc. I’m on public assistance. 

    Quick disclaimers: If you have an emergency, call 911. This is all my opinion. Use this information at your own risk. Verify everything yourself. 

    NYC law enforcement has billions of dollars. In my opinion, they have very little oversight. When you have billions of dollars, you can run serious scams if that’s how you choose to spend the money.

    One of the many scams that NYC law enforcement runs on me is the controlled customer scam. 

    Before I get into it, one more thing. NYC law enforcement has people who work from them in regular clothes harass me every day. They shove their phones in my face, they tease me, they harass me, and they crash into me.  I’m used to it. I never react at all. 

    I have reported NYC law enforcement to several government agencies nationwide and I’m waiting to hear back. 

    I have a small storage room in Midtown Manhattan. NYC law enforcement made me homeless and now they want my clothes in the garbage, not a storage room. 

    NYC law enforcement has members of their regular clothes scam team renting storage rooms at the place where I have my storage. 

    Members of NYC law enforcement’s scam team have tried to pick fights with me, start conversations with me, harass me, block me from walking, etc., at the storage place. All I do is ignore them and walk away. 

    Today I went to my gym to take a shower. Someone went into my backpack last night and stole the lock I use for my gym locker. I went to my storage place to pick up an extra lock. When I showed up at the storage place there were a few members of NYC law enforcement’s scam team on location. 

    I say to myself, what could the scam be this time? NYC law enforcement has people pretend “he’s selling drugs,” “he’s doing drugs,” “he’s stalking girls,” “he’s a thief,” and many other scams. 

    Just for the record, I don’t have a criminal record, and I don’t do anything illegal. I’m on welfare. I have a small amount of money for food and a little more for some necessities. 

    Today, I suspect NYC law enforcement scam is the “he smells” scam. I shower every day. I wash my clothes at laundromats. I showered yesterday, and I’m about to shower in a few minutes. If you saw me right now, you would not think I’m homeless. If you look at my social media, you can see what I look like or the about page on this website. 

    NYC law enforcement has people follow me into many stores and places I go just to make up lies and try to get me kicked out. 

    I hope the whole world finds out what NYC law enforcement is up to one day, and it stops. I hope one day NYC law enforcement protects people and stops running scams. 

    If there is any doubt that some percentage of NYC law enforcement runs scams, do a quick search in your favorite search engine and see what you find. 

    I never mention a word of this to anyone at Baruch College-CUNY, where I go to college. 

  • Opinion: NYC should change the private park in Gramercy into a building run by CUNY where New Yorkers can learn computer skills.

    There is a huge private park located in Gramercy, Manhattan, New York City. In my opinion, the park is a great opportunity to create a huge brand new building run by CUNY. 

    I’m a student at Baruch College CUNY. That’s how I created the idea. I don’t care about credit. I want to help people.

    This is the Wikipedia page for Gramercy Park: Gramercy Park – Wikipedia

    The building can be a place where New Yorkers can learn computer skills. 

    1. There might be large technology companies that might donate money towards the development of the building. 
    2. The building, if run by CUNY, can be a great place for people not only to learn computer skills but also become acclimated with the outstanding offerings of CUNY. 
    3. Large technology companies might allow some of their employees to teach computer skills at the building. 
    4. Large technology companies might help with the lessons offered so they can eventually hire some of the individuals who work hard to learn new computer skills. 

    This could potentially be an opportunity for thousands of individuals to lift themselves out of poverty. Everything is going digital. 

    The building I envision will be close to public transportation. It’s also conveniently near many huge technology companies. 

    I can envision students going to the building after school and on weekends. I can envision people who might have lost their jobs or want a higher-paying job going to the building to learn new computer skills. 

    The space is so big, they might be able to build two buildings. One for adults and one for children. 

    Think about how much parents would love for their children to be able to go somewhere run by CUNY and learn valuable computer skills. 

    Speaking of CUNY I have to get back to my homework. 

    What would have a better impact on New York City? A huge empty private park or buildings where thousands of people can learn computer skills.

    We need to step up the opportunities for New Yorkers. 

    Thank you for reading. 

    Have a great day.

  • Opinion: Email to Baruch College about my probation appeal and NYC law enforcement trying to have me removed from school. November 5, 2021.

    Greetings Baruch College,

    I’m at school studying for my classes. I just returned from the post office on 23 Street. I sent X the exact same PDF that I sent to you. 

    As far as I’m concerned the probation appeal process is over. From now until the end of the semester I will continue to walk on eggshells like I always do. 

    Today I was walking into the Baruch College verticle building at about 8 AM. My Baruch College ID wasn’t working and the security guards let me in.

    For anyone that isn’t even something worth mentioning. For me, I have to watch every interaction very carefully. The reason is that NYC law enforcement has been harassing me and sabotaging me worse than ever. 

    When my student ID didn’t work, I said to myself this is all I need. If one of the security guards says I was rude, I’m gone. And of course, it was a coincidence that my card wasn’t working. Of course, that would never happen here. I’m just saying that’s how my mind works. 

    Even with all this, I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t vape, etc. The abuse I take from NYC law enforcement is intense. I have been to the emergency room of the hospital several times this semester from NYC law enforcement harassing me. I don’t need therapy, I need an apartment, money, and law firms. 

    I never mention any of this to anyone at CUNY. I don’t even like mentioning it to you but I feel like every so often its good to cover myself because NYC law enforcement is so good at running scams and sabotaging people including me. It’s a miracle they haven’t figured out a way to get me kicked out of CUNY.

    I know NYC law enforcement is drooling that I’m on probation. 
    They almost got rid of me last semester when they arrested me. I beat the case and got a 4.0 GPA with 12 credits. They have been harassing me every day since I had the charge dropped down to a violation. 

    That’s why when I contact hundreds of government agencies nationwide to get help from NYC law enforcement harassing me I don’t blame them for turning their heads the other way and pretending I don’t exist. NYC law enforcement doesn’t play around. When they want something it’s not up for negotiation. 

    Thank you again for helping me with the appeal process. 
    In regards to school, I’m so far ahead of the game this semester that it feels great. I’m literally studying for Spring 2022 classes today. I’m about to buy one of the textbooks for next semester next week and I have a few sample pages of it already. Instead of wasting my time watching celebrity interviews like I usually do in my spare time, I’m going to study math and Spanish. 

    I’m also going to start to document via video how I live in the subway in an effort to raise awareness and try and get help from the general public. I have a place to shower and keep clean clothes. Cold nights I live on subway platforms. I have never been more confident that I’m going to get back into an apartment one day soon thanks to HRA and CUNY. 

    I’m going to make you and the whole CUNY family proud one day and I’ll make sure to always let everyone know that the only reason I was able to get back on my feet is thanks to HRA and CUNY. Two of the most amazing organizations in New York City. The staff here is as good as it gets and the opportunity is beyond words. 

    Thank you and have a great day. 

    Ever upward,

  • Question to a Baruch College professor about Elementary Spanish.

    Greetings Professor,

    I just signed up to take Elementary Spanish 1 next semester (Spring 2022). I’m going to start to study Spanish now in my spare time. 

    CUNY First doesn’t say who my professor will be. I saw your name on the website so therefore I decided to contact you regarding how I can prepare for Elementary Spanish 1. 

    If I’m correct we have about a month or so of free time between Fall 2021 and Spring 2022. I’m going to study 5 to 10 hours per day every day during that month for all my Spring 2022 classes before they start so I’m familiar with the material when classes begin.  

    Is there any specific type of Spanish that I should be studying?

    Is this the textbook? 

    Please advise with any information if possible. If not it’s no big deal, I’ll do the best I can with the information listed publically on the web (Google, YouTube, etc.). 

    Thank you and have a great day. 

    Ever upward,
