Note: I plan for this to be my last letter to Noriko Asato (aka Professional Victim Professor) unless she responds.  I spent months crafting this letter to explain to her why her tactics are psychologically dangerous while making sure this letter isn't classified by a threat, even Noriko Asato claims to feel "threatened" by any assertive disagreement.

But if there's any response, whether by Noriko Asato, any organization that employs her, or by any government authority, best believe I will be writing more on this issue!

Also to anyone who tries to censor this message, I have a right to express concerns to any government official I deal with, and as an employee of a state university, Dr Noriko Asato is a government official and therefore, I have a right to express my concerns on how her service is psychologically dangerous to the people she deals with!

The previous letter is here http://pablowegesend.blogspot.com/2017/04/a-letter-to-professional-victim.html


What I plan to be my last letter (unless there's a response) is below!

============================

Aloha Dr  Noriko Asato, 

when I started being a student in the LIS program, my original plan is to eventually donate my future earnings to the LIS Program. But as long as they employ you, I would rather take a bullet to my head than to EVER donate ANY money to any organization that employs psychologically dangerous people like you! 

When I was an undergraduate student, I loved working in the libraries because they had a nurturing work environment where my efforts were appreciated. This was a refuge from the verbally abusive environments I grew up in, and I appreciated that there were work environments that don't require dealing with abusive co-workers that millions worldwide have to deal with. 

I entered the LIS with the feeling that I would have this nurturing support that I received in my past jobs at the library. I felt the appreciation from true legendary professionals like Dr Knuth, Dr Harada, Dr Bair-Mundy and Dr Quiroga. I feel the true appreciation from adjunct professors who taught classes on children's librarianship and Hawaii-Pacific librarianship. 

Reality set in and I realized that the library is not immune from corruption and pettiness from people like you and Tisha Aragaki! Which is it was not only painful that you were too much of a coward to try to negotiate a solution with Tisha Aragaki. Her ways were bad enough, but your cowardice and your psychological bullying (and yes, telling people to remain silent about their grievances is one of THE WORST TYPES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL BULLYING that can ever exist) makes you a much worse person than Tisha Aragaki!  

When I asked for evidence of unsubstantiated claims from Tisha about "other librarians feeling uncomfortable around me" or"I shouldn't be working with children", you told me I shouldn't be asking for evidence, as if that will calm me down. ONLY A SEVERELY stupid person could EVER believe telling  ANY HUMAN BEING that will calm tensions.

One of the most evil and satanic things a person can ever do is to tell someone to
 "suffer in silence""stop snitching", "withdraw complaints against supervisors"."put your career ahead of justice" 

Those are all forms of psychological warfare and are very dangerous to the psychological well-being of those you tell those things to. I would literally rather be called a "piece of s--t" or a "f----- wetback" or a"stupid idiot"  than to be told thing anything equivalent to  "suffer in silence", "stop snitching", "to withdraw your complaints" or to "put your career ahead of justice".
It's like the saying "the cover-up is worse than the crime".

 Your actions are extremely psychologically cruel and I have been excessively kind towards you, even my emails towards you are excessively nice towards being that you have been psychologically cruel towards me! 

You are mega-lucky I didn't mention the issue at the Graduate Student Organization general assembly! You are so ignorant to not realize that I was a part of the Graduate Student Organization, an organization of militant activists who have severe hatred towards university faculty who bully students into silence! If Dr Chin didn't over-rule you, I would've made a speech in front of the Graduate Student Organization that could've been recorded and broadcast on YouTube! You are severely lucky that I was too nice to do that! 

If Dr Chin didn't over-rule, I would mentioned the issue to the state legislature when if they held hearings on Graduate Assistants and Ombuds Office. You are severely lucky that I was too nice to do that!  You took advantage of my extreme generosity. You no longer deserve generosity! 

And for you to have the nerve to tell me I shouldn't challenge unsubstantiated claims against me from Tisha Aragaki? You are in an intellectual environment where anything that is said will be challenged. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO EMBRACE THAT! You are in an intellectual environment  of higher education where people SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED to question unsubstantiated claims, where people SHOULD  QUESTION negative claims against. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO EMBRACE THAT, INSTEAD  of falsely claiming to be "afraid" of "anger" (your definition of "anger" is anytime anyone refuse to kiss your, anytime anyone express disagreement, with you, anytime even dares question anything you say, anytime anyone even dares express objections to unsubstantiated claims against them). The very fact that you define those things as "anger" shows you are TOTALLY UNSUITABLE for academic institution of higher education, an environment were YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO QUESTION THINGS! The very fact that you don't believe people should question things makes you unsuitable for an institution of higher education.  

Stop using words like "afraid", "threatened" or "anger" to deter disagreement. Stop using words like "afraid", "threatened" or "anger" to deter people questioning the things you say.  That you even try to deter disagreement makes you psychologically unqualified to work in an academic environment of higher education. 

You claimed in our meeting with Dr Gazan that my emails to you made you feel "very afraid", then I apologized. But then you had the nerve to demand that I sign a paper to withdraw complaints KNOWING FULL WELL THAT WOULD INCREASE MY ANGER BY A TRILLION!  Then when I stated that I would write a blog post about this, you said "I feel threatened" even though NOTHING I SAID COULD BE CLASSIFIED AS A THREAT!  That was when I knew you LIED when you claimed that my previous emails made you feel "very afraid". You're not afraid, you're just trying to deter disagreement. Because you had the nerve to ask me to withdraw complaint, I'm going to withdraw EVERY SINGLE APOLOGY I  said to you! 

You claim that my expressions of grievances was  harming the existence  LIS internship program? You claim that I'm making it hard for future for future LIS students. Excuse me? If there's any loss of credibility of the UH's LIS program, it's because your continued employment in UH's LIS program is a severe threat to the program's credibility. If you were truly concerned about UH's LIS program's reputation, than you would resign! Your continued employment in UH's LIS program is a virus not only to the program but also to the university and the library profession. I refuse to donate any money to the LIS program (which WAS my original plan before you mishandled my internship situation) until you leave the LIS program.  In other words, it is YOUR FAULT that the LIS program isn't getting more money!  Because I refuse to donate money to organizations that employ psychologically dangerous scumbags like you! 

Both you and I know that your award for the promotion of intellectual freedom is an award you don't deserve!  How the hell can you call yourself an advocate for intellectual freedom when you demanded that I sign a statement that I withdraw my complaint against the Hawaii State Library?  

You teach a class about ethics but you demand that I lie about "agreeing" to terminate my internship at Hawaii State Library. You should NEVER teach a class about ethics again, you lying hypocrite! 

Did you really think if you thought the public (who pays your salary) would never find out about your hypocrisy? 

You are severely ignorant if you thought telling me not have to anger will make me less angry!  

You are severely ignorant if you thought telling me to withdraw complaints will actually make me withdraw complaints!

It is impossible to be more ignorant than that! Those who want to be more ignorant need to set more realistic goals.

You have no intellectual depth at all! You only got hired because who you got married to!  And dont' cry "sexism", because your reason for employment is different from the truly legendary librarian professors like Dr Knuth, Dr Harada, Dr Quiroga and Dr Bair-Mundy! Those women earned their positions with decades of librarianship. You only earned your LIS degree in 2011.  You only got hired because you're a crony hire!

You have no intellectual depth at all!

Those women earned their positions with decades of librarianship. You only earned your LIS degree in 2011.  You only got hired because you're a crony hire!

And to add insult to injury you told me that you would meet with the HSL manager about my situation and that you will never tell me what what was discussed about me. That in itself is SCUMBAG BEHAVIOR ON YOUR PART!  And you tell me not to be angry about that? Excuse me? Do you want the world know that what you said and did? Is that something you will talk about with pride?

In the previous email, I mentioned that  One of your former students thanked me for making a video publicly criticizing you and she felt guilty for being silent about the way you treated her!

This was some of her words  expressed on facebook

• A very important video from my friend and colleague, fellow information professional Pablo Wegesend. I'm very happy he posted this, because I too have had issues with this program and with the people he mentions in here on many occasions, and as a result I've felt incapable of pursuing a career in the LIS field...this is a very real issue that I think needs to be addressed, not just for us but for everyone who feels that they are being misguided. So, I hope that I can reach as many people as possible with this, and I feel bad that I never really stepped up like this, so thank you Pablo for posting this.

and this

• ..it's made me feel bad, like I should have spoken up more when I was having issues with them while I was with LIS.

and this

• Anyways, I'm going to end my rant there, but yeah, I probably should have spoken out about a lot of things, but since I'm 3 years removed from the program I don't really think it's that relevant anymore....but anything you have to say about LIS, I'll definitely be there to back you up buddy!!

You think you're slick because you treat students like that and having them feel guilty about not having the guts to speak out against you like I did?  Because now I know that I'm not the only one you mistreated! The days when people are silent about your psychological cruelty is over and will never come back! The world now knows that you are a psychologically dangerous person.  That knowledge about you is now available worldwide! You should've thought about that before you met with me! 

I might've risked my career with my complaints & posts but I have absolutely ZERO regrets. In fact I am extremely proud of my protests, online posts and video speeches! I notified the HSPLS and LIS that the old days of interns suffering in silence are officially over, more obsolete than a floppy disk!

I have it made it more possible for future interns and other workers to be treated with respect because HSPLS and LIS are now forced to be more cautious on how to deal with disgruntled students and interns! Now, I have inspired other students to stand up for themselves! (I have multiple emails to back me up on that one)  

I have put HSPLS and LIS on notice that people of my generation and those coming after mine NO LONGER suffer in silence! just remember that I only learned to use internet technology as an adult, wait until you deal with the generation that learned to blog or tweet before middle school! That generation will be in college in a few years!

It is sad when professors dont encourage their students to become risk-takers! It is sad when professors encourage their students to become ass kissing cowards.  Much of what librarianship is today is because people took risks to their careers! The reason why we even have talks about diversity & intellectual freedom in LIS is because of people like me who refuse to kiss ass,  who put their career on the line, who risk  becoming homeless, who risk imprisonment, so that the future generations can be treated with dignity and respect!  In fact, it is people who refuse to kiss ass, who put their career on the line, who risk  becoming homeless, who risk imprisonment that made it possible for a person named Noriko Asato to be university professors instead of internment camp inmates.

You should learn to embrace mediation, you should learn to embrace ho'oponopono, instead of just giving in to requests from internship supervisors to involuntarily end internships.  Your scumbags can ruin lives by messing with student's financial aid and graduation timelines. IF you are comfortable doing that to your students, than you have ZERO business being uncomfortable with this email, because this email doesn't cause the  level of pain you put me through! 

I have a severely high level of hatred towards you and your psychologically abusive ways. If more people were  aware of how you really are, you would lose a lot of love & support!

The best thing you can do is to apologize using your organization's letterhead.  Apologize for the way you treated me! Apologize for refusing to use the ho'oponopono practices that could've solved my dispute with HSL! Apologize for telling me "not to be upset"!  Apologize for refusing to discuss with me what you talked about with the HSL director about me.  Apologize for pressuring me to lie! When you do, I will let the world know that you are finally willing to admit that could've handled things better.  If you don't , I will also inform the world that you refuse to apologize and therefore you are a psychologically dangerous waste of taxpayer's money.

Just know that this entire email can be posted in a public forum whenever I feel like making it public. 

If there is no response from you, then this will be my last message to you  on this issue.  But if there is a response from you, please understand that any responses from you, positive or negative, will be made public in multiple ways, in any way I choose. 

Any lack of sincere apology  AND any lack of acknowledge of how wrong your actions are WILL ALSO BE NOTED online!

Your reputation is already ruined! This is a point of no return! 
If there is no response from you, then this is my last message to you! 
==============


PS:   IF you really believe that "it's not good to have anger", you would've just brushed off my earlier  emails like it means' nothing, instead of calling yourself "very afraid"  and "threatened". By telling me "it's not good to have anger" and to "not be upset at Tisha's claims", you have ETERNALLY forfeited any credibility to claim that this email has made you uncomfortable.   

If you really practiced what you preach to me, then you would be bothered by this email at all!  Practice what you preach! 

Now, here's some accurate memes of about Noriko Asato (aka Professional Victim Professor)

Wake up with the Brown Privilege

So-Called Justice Warriors are quick to protest when some Anglo actress wears a Halloween costume or do other "cultural appropriations".

However, they are largely silent about the 98.5's Wake-Up Crew, 3 radio shock jocks of Hawaiian & Asian ancestries who specialize in  mean-spirited jokes. Their jokes includes racist jokes about Micronesians and European-Americans, as well as cruel jokes about the homeless and disabled. 


Just one example, as mentioned in the Hawaii Independent
http://hawaiiindependent.net/story/racism-in-hawaii-is-alive-and-well

On the morning of Friday, May 23, at around 7:15 a.m., Disc jockey Brandon “KreyZ” Oshiro of Island 98.5’s radio show “The Wake Up Crew” told a joke for the show’s “stupid joke Friday” segment. The joke was directed toward Micronesian immigrants, who are the most recent and least established group of immigrants to come to Hawaiʻi, and who have suffered the brunt of racial jokes, slurs and violence in the past decade. The joke was as follows:

“Why aren’t there many beautiful Micronesians? Because babies with birth defects are usually terminated before birth.”

Imagine if you're a child or a teen of Micronesian descent hearing that stuff on the radio? You're already going through the usual childhood/teenage insecurities, but add to that, you hearing a joke that basically encourages your peers to make extremely mean-spirited jokes about you based on your ethnicity. 

So basically, the 98.5 Wake-Up Crew is the the brown-skinned version of Donald Trump and Ann Coulter. 

And just like Donald Trump and Ann Coulter, just when you think they can't get any lower, they do just that

Here's what someone mentioned on facebook

  

Island 98.5 Wake Up Crew was exceptionally rude this morning.
*woman calls in*

Wake up Crew: Woah, how old are you?

Woman: 41.

W.U.C: Why do you sound like a little girl? What happened to you when you were 7? Usually when something happens as a child your voice gets stuck sounding like you're still that age. So what, did uncle make you sit on his lap or something?

Woman: Yes, actually.

I'm speechless. Spitting ignorance over the airwaves is the norm for these imbiciles. But making a joke about child molestation? Wow. That's a new low..even for these half-wits.

[Note: I don't ever listen to their morning show for this exact reason. But 98.5 was left on from last night and, being in a rush this morning, I didn't realize what I was listening to until it was too late. NEVER AGAIN.]
iHeartRadio

Feel free to share this post.

#boycott

Now imagine the outrage if Milo Yiannopolous said something like that.

He was banned from a conference for jokes like that!

But because 98.5's Wake-Up Crew are brown-skinned males of Hawaiian-Asian ancestry, the So-Called Justice Warriors say nothing!

That right there is Brown Privilege!


Excuses are made. If somebody is offended by the 98.5's Wake-Up Crew, the So-Called Justice Warriors will say " what about Rush Limbaugh?"


98.5 Wake-Up Crew is WORSE than Rush Limbaugh!

I remember spending time listening to Rush Limbaugh back in the early 2000's.  Most of the time, he isn't really that mean-spirited. Sometimes, his jokes are cringe-worthy, but that's sometimes. The 98.5 Wake-Up Crew is ALL THE TIME!

 But when Rush Limbaugh says something mildly offensive, it becomes a national scandal that lasts a few weeks. 

Of course, 98.5 Wake-Up Crew claim their critics aren't with the "local culture".

Don't tell me where I'm from, I grew up in Hawaii, and I'm from the same environment that some of the 98.5 Wake-Up Crew's fans are from. I'm from Kalihi and some of my relatives grew up in Waianae, so I don't need any lectures about my familiarity with Hawaii's ghetto culture. 

But being from the ghetto doesn't mean you have to be a trashy person! 

You can also be funny without being mean-spirited.

Frank DeLima had his controversy in the past about ethnic humor, but he has since toned down his act. He does some ethnic characters, but they still showcase their humanity and he can do those characters without being demeaning.  Just like how Robin Williams can portray characters with foreign accents without being demeaning. 

But still, the 98.5 Wake-Up Crew claim that their critics can't take a joke. Well, would they make that type of joke in the physical presence of  somebody they don't know that is tougher than than them and is pointing a weapon aimed at their face? Would they make that type of joke when they are weaponless and physically surrounded by the 20 of the same type of people they mock?

Of course not! But the 98.5 Wake-Up Crew make those jokes in the safety of their radio station's walls and make fun of the vulnerable. They think that making fun of the vulnerable makes them tough!  That is fake toughness! Real Toughness is about defending the weak from the bullies. Real Toughness is about defending the spirit of inclusion and equality even when it's not popular! 

-----

As far as I'm concerned, I don't even bother with 98.5 FM at all. 

I can hear the same songs (mostly reggae and Hawaiian) on 93.1 or on FM 100, without listening to these 98.5 Wake-Up Crew jerks!

And if I was one of the local reggae artists, I would use my copyright privileges to block my songs from 98.5 until the Wake-Up Crew is gone.

So while the 98.5 Wake-Up Crew has their freedom of speech, so do I!

In memory of Melissa Santos

A few weeks ago, a former co-worker died.

Her name was Melissa Santos. 

She was my co-worker at a temp job I had last summer. 

That temp job involved the printing, inspecting and organizing ballots that would be used for the 2016 Primary Election. 

Me & Melissa would sometimes talk while waiting in the worker's lounge before the workday or during other breaks as well. We would also see each other on the bus.

I remember that we were about the same age (off by a year or two), and that we were both from Kalihi. But because of the school district lines, we went to different schools. She went to Farrington High School (where most Kalihi kids go) whereas I went to McKinley High School  (because I lived about a block away from the district's border). 

She also mentioned that her kids go to Aiea High School  and how awkward it was to cheer against her alma mater because her kids are going to a different school than she did!  Another Farrington grad mentioned that his kids are going to Roosevelt High School  so he could relate.   I don't have any kids, but I did joke that it would be awkward to cheer against your kids if your alma mater's team could give your kid a concussion. 

We did share a few more stories too, about different jobs we had, and more!

Then our temp positions were over after about 2 months.

But we did keep in touch on facebook.

She did thank me a few times about some articles I shared on facebook. That was cool.

=============

Sadly, I heard from her husband that she has passed away. He didn't announce the cause of her death (or if he did, I didn't see it), and I really don't want to ask. Some people who are grieving may not be ready to mention details so I'll respect their privacy.
