PLEASE NOTE THAT NONE OF THE STATEMENTS MADE IN THESE
ENTRIES ARE SPECIOUS AND THAT THEY ARE SUPPORTABLE WITH
DOCUMENTS AND EXHIBITS.
We believe that these stories are both timely and compelling.
We also would like to thank “Google Chrome” for the manner
in which they have presented this website! – “Thanks”
James R. Aymann (Jim) is a combat veteran of the Vietnam War
with a service connected disability and he celebrated his 71st birthday
a few months ago.
This website concentrates on Jim’s personal experiences with
corruption in Nevada State Government.
In the past year alone, (October 2015 – October 2016) this
website has had over 14,000 visits, to include Europe, Asia, Latin
America, Australia, New Zealand with a following from China,
Ukraine and Brazil.
To date, Jim has no accounting for visits by mobile phones and
backdoor visits that include phrases and this is without the aid of
press releases, networking, advertising etc.
Jim has also received hundreds of favorable emails in reference to
this website from all over the world.
Jim is currently in the process of updating and revising his website
and will be adding new episodes involving corruption in government at
all levels.
CORRUPTION IN NEVADA GOVERNMENT
State integrity investigation is an unprecedented, data-driven
analysis of transparency and accountability in all 50 state governments.
5
Public access to information, political financing, electoral oversight,
Legislative accountability, Judicial accountability, procurement, internal
auditing, lobbying disclosure, ethical enforcement agencies, ad infinitum
received failing grades in the State of Nevada!
To be blunt, Nevada industry, to include lawyers, in conjunction with
Nevada government at all levels is a labyrinthine sewer of corruption and
deception draining into a cesspool and that cesspool are the Nevada courts at all
levels!
Are you getting the picture yet?
There is a populist movement that is sweeping across this country!
This movement is deeply factionalized with progressive sentiments
at one end of the spectrum and reactionary sentiments at the other end
but the common theme and the common thread that runs through this
movement is the complete and total disgust by the populace involving
the corruption in the private sector and the corresponding corruption of
government at all levels that includes all branches.
6
In theory, if an individual has a collection of supportable facts ad
infinitum, then the opposing party in an adversarial setting is lying and
cannot prevail.
In reality, in the State of Nevada, supportable facts are
meaningless unless you are connected (big business, affluence, hotshot
lawyers, relatives etc.) you cannot prevail with any state institution in
the State of Nevada, end of story!
Every year tens of thousands of hard-working, taxpaying and
law-abiding Nevadans are victimized in an extremely predatory private
sector.
When these victims appeal to law enforcement or to virtually any
other county and/or state agency and ultimately to the court system at
all levels, they will be victimized again and again and again and
again ad infinitum!
The price of this corruption in Nevada takes a heavy toll!
First of all, James R. Aymann (Jim) is a pacifist and has always
abhorred all violence in all its forms.
The murder of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Officers Alyn Beck
and Igor Soldo and subsequently Joseph Robert Wilcox was both
repulsive and infuriating!
Officers Beck and Soldo were taking a meal break and Mister
Wilcox was shopping at a nearby Walmart all murdered at point-
blank range.
James R. Aymann (Jim) is a decorated and disabled combat
veteran of the Vietnam War.
Jim has been awarded a 70% service-connected disability.
7
There was a pool table in the basement of the old San Mateo, California
Police Department in the 1950s. James R Aymann (Jim) was an adolescent then
and was allowed to shoot pool with his friends for free.
A friendship ensued between Jim and numerous police officers that lasted
for decades.
After Jim returned from Vietnam and returned to civilian life in 1968, two
high school buddies turned him on to LSD.
Jim was naïve about psychedelics and drugs in general, but was very
interested in the concept of mind expansion especially after having personally
experienced the horrors of the Vietnam War.
Jim and his friends were in the back of a Corvair van, after half an hour
Jim said, “You’ve been ripped off.”
They lived in Belmont, an upper-middle-class community in the San
Francisco Peninsula.
The keys were in the ignition and Jim drove off and headed for San Mateo
on the “El Camino Real”.
As Jim was driving, he was talking to his friends and glancing at them in
the rearview mirror.
Suddenly while he was still driving, he saw himself with his friends in the
rearview mirror, then all of a sudden he was actually sitting with his friends and
looking at himself from the rear as he was driving the van.
Jim pulled off onto a side street and parked the van and rejoined his friends
in the back.
The conversation shifted to metaphysical concepts.
Ten years earlier, Jim spent the summer with some homeless men in the
Mission District of San Francisco.
Jim discovered the “City Lights Bookstore” and had frequent conversations
with Lawrence Ferlinghetti, the owner.
8
He read books by Immanuel Kant, Karl Jung, Jiddu Khrishnamurti, Nikos
Kazanzakis etc.
Jim was 12 years old.
Jim was explaining concepts involving endless time and space, infinity,
theories involving the formation of the universe, destiny etc.
Then he started describing the relationship that he had with a Vietnamese
Shaman that was a Taoist.
Unintentionally, Jim started describing some of the horrors of the Vietnam
War that he had recently experienced.
His friends started saying, “Shut up Jim” but it was too late, his friends
were having a “bad trip”.
Coincidentally, Mills Hospital was a few blocks away.
Jim took his friends through the double swinging doors of the emergency
room.
The emergency staff at this hospital were great, his friends were
experiencing panic attacks and were hyperventilating.
Jim finished filling out the forms and asked, “What do I owe you for saving
my friends lives”?
The fee was nominal so Jim added a donation, but Jim was also informed
that they had to stay to fill out a report when the police arrived.
An officer with the San Mateo Police Department showed up and turned out
to be one of Jim’s friends.
We’ll call him “Barney”, he checked out the van and wrote a ticket for a
“faulty taillight”.
LSD was not yet illegal.
Jim’s friends drove away and then he had breakfast with Barney
9
While they were eating, Jim recanted how he had personally went to the
Judge Adjutant General’s Office at MACV headquarters in Vietnam to submit
some complaints involving Army Personnel and how he had several “out of body
experiences”, similar to what he had just experienced, after he had been
subsequently given an injection.
Being the superb cop that he was, Barney asked Jim many questions
including descriptions of the individual that gave Jim that injection.
Barney informed Jim that this individual was not with the military but was a
member of an agency and that this agency had in fact used hallucinogenic drugs
on individuals for various reasons.
Jim was so naïve, he used to fill his canteen with the water in rain barrels in
the Vietnamese villages and had also experienced several bouts of food poisoning.
(Army food)
He thought that was the source of the hallucinations for one full year.
Barney was undoubtedly correct in his assessment of the source of Jim’s
bizarre hallucinations while he was in combat in Vietnam!
How do you survive something like that?
After being transferred from the Mekong Delta to the 196th Light Infantry
Brigade Jim was promoted to “fire team leader” responsible for the lives and
safety of up to a dozen fellow soldiers!
Jim attributes his survival in Vietnam to pure dumb luck!
Costa Mesa California was the sailboat building capital of the United States.
Jim moved there a few years later to learn the boatbuilding business.
He had insomnia and would frequently walk to the beach at night.
On numerous occasions he would be rousted by the police for absolutely no
reason. (Field interview)
Jim’s experiences with the police of the beach cities was completely
different than that of the police in the San Francisco Peninsula.
10
Huntington Beach Riot – Labor Day 1986
These cops were brutal, please note, this was nonracial, the people that lived
in these cities were white!
There was a deep underlying hatred for the police in these cities.
This hatred erupted on the Labor Day Weekend at Huntington Beach in the
form of a full-scale riot in 1986.
Las Vegas, Nevada Two years later, Jim was offered a lucrative temporary job for the
completion of a mega resort in Las Vegas Nevada.
Jim considered it a paid vacation with no intention of staying more than just
a few months.
Law enforcement in Las Vegas, Nevada was a major upgrade from what he
had been accustomed to in the beach cities in California.
11
Jim’s experiences with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department
was very positive and reminiscent of his experiences with the police in San
Mateo California.
The quality of the law enforcement was a major consideration in extending
his stay in Las Vegas, Nevada
Police corruption and police abuse in Las Vegas, Nevada had been a
common topic of conversation throughout the years.
Initially, Jim presented many arguments in support of and defended the Las
Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
In February 2007, Jim drove to the Broad Acres Swap Meet in North Las
Vegas to replace some hand tools that were stolen.
Jim was in a rush, he had just smogged his pickup truck and had to be at
work in one hour.
Jim returned to his pickup truck less than 15 minutes later and it was gone!
Jim contacted the North Las Vegas Police Department by telephone.
Jim waited for over three hours and the police never responded!
Jim took a bus to his house and drove his other vehicle to the North Las
Vegas Police Department.
Jim filed a police report, then after three weeks he received a postcard from
the North Las Vegas Police Department indicating that the pickup truck was
located at Quality Towing also in North Las Vegas.
Jim’s pickup truck had been stripped so badly that he walked past it three
times before he recognized it.
He told Quality Towing to keep it!
The North Las Vegas Police Department informed Jim that there would
be no investigation regarding the theft of his pickup truck because a violent
crime had not been committed!
Several months later Jim was contacted by Quality Towing with a demand
that he pay $1700 for storage or risk having this charge reported to the various
credit reporting agencies!
12
The fact was that Jim had posttraumatic stress disorder since serving in
Vietnam but like the vast majority of combat veterans, this was never diagnosed!
The anxiety attacks that Jim experienced as a result of this repetitive
victimization to include the North Las Vegas Police Department had become so
severe that his primary care physician with the Veterans Administration set up an
appointment with a VA mental health psychiatrist.
Jim was diagnosed with having PTSD and was awarded a 70% service-
connected disability 40 years after he returned from Vietnam! (A disgrace)
Jim now regards the horror stories that he has been repetitively hearing for
years concerning law enforcement in Las Vegas as possibly being the truth!
Jim now has several of his own horror stories regarding law enforcement in
Clark County Nevada.
This transpired in the City of Las Vegas, Nevada arguably the most corrupt
city in the United States.
Jim has been a law-abiding and taxpaying resident of Las Vegas since 1989.
Jim is 71 years of age. By legal definition, Jim is an older and
vulnerable person.
Robert Perry White of Las Vegas Nevada at the behest of his sister Alana
Geneva Peterson of Torrance California attacked Jim while he was walking to
retrieve his car in his driveway.
To be perfectly clear, Alana Geneva Peterson initiated the vicious and brutal
attack on Jim Aymann.
Her brother Robert Perry White was merely the weapon.
Three separate telephone calls were made to 911 emergency.
Jim made the first at 2:02 PM; Alana Geneva Peterson made the next 911
emergency phone call one minute later at 2:03 PM.
911 Emergency Calls
13
**Alana Geneva Peterson’s Voluntary Statement
Jim made the third 911 emergency call at 2:35 PM.
Jim contacted 911 emergency at 2:02 PM.
A recording of this emergency call clearly indicates that Jim was incoherent
and in pain.
The 911 emergency operator was rude and did not allow Jim to explain
what had transpired.
Alana Geneva Peterson contacted 911 emergency one minute later at 2:03
PM.
A recording of her emergency call clearly indicates that she was familiar
with the person that attacked Jim!
Alana Geneva Peterson referred to Jim’s attacker as “and my
friend…” and “a friend of mine”
In her written statement to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department
less than one hour later, she states,
“A man, who introduced himself as Vince “a stranger came running around
the corner when he heard the commotion”.
Jim submits that Alana Geneva Peterson referred to his assailant as a
“friend” twice in her 911 call, then referred to him as a “stranger” who
mysteriously appeared then disappeared in her police report less than one hour
later.
In a counterclaim, Alana Geneva Peterson states, “The actions of counter
defendant (Jim) caused a harmful and offensive contact with counterclaimant in
that he came so close to her that he spit saliva on her face.”
Please note, at no time did Alana Geneva Peterson mention Jim “spitting
saliva on her face” during her 911 call or in her police report.
14
It is Jim’s contention that this is clearly an add-on by her lawyer
Alexander Mazzia so that Alana Geneva Peterson could countersue.
Alana Geneva Peterson had no injuries whatsoever!
Another contradiction in her 911 emergency call, Alana Geneva Peterson
states,
“Well, the neighbor started swinging on me” and “He’s caught him
swinging at me in the alley”
Please note this was a driveway and not an alley!
In her police report she states,
“Jim tried to frighten me by running up to my face screaming and lunging
towards me.”
Then in her counterclaim, Alana Geneva Peterson claims that Jim came so
close to her that he “spit saliva on her face.”
Jim called 911 emergency a second time after half an hour.
Jim wanted to speak with the police prior to going to the hospital!
The red pickup truck was gone and Alana Geneva Peterson had left.
Jim was in pain and was having difficulty staying conscious.
This 911 emergency operator was sympathetic and actually allowed Jim to
speak.
When the police finally arrived, Jim was unaware that they were actually
responding to Alana Geneva Peterson’s call to 911 emergency and not to his call
to 911 emergency.
A David Rojas was the reporting officer.
He completely misquoted Jim’s statement in his report.
Jim has to wonder why the police do not use audio recorders to ensure the
accuracy of verbal statements, but we all know the reason why. (Control and
manipulation of the truth)
15
The address that Officer Rojas submitted in his report was completely
different from the location where the incident occurred!
This report submitted by this police officer was grossly inaccurate!
David Rojas did arrange for an ambulance to take Jim to the hospital.
A retired German couple was vacationing in Las Vegas at that time. The
attack upon Jim took place in the driveway behind their garage.
Angelika and Joachim Goes Video
They were both looking out their front window waiting for friends to come
by and pick them up.
They witnessed and testified under oath that Alana Geneva Peterson with
her mother and her two daughters were interacting with two men that arrived in a
red pickup truck.
Alana Geneva Peterson, under oath, has repeatedly denied the existence of
the two men that arrived with her in the red pickup truck.
Angelika and Joachim Goes testified under oath as to what they had
witnessed at a deposition and then again at a hearing at great expense to Jim.
Jim was in great pain and unable to eat solid foods for over one week.
Jim was able to determine that Alana Geneva Peterson had a brother living
in Las Vegas by the name of Robert Perry White.
He immediately became Jim’s primary suspect as the person who had
attacked him.
The handling of this “event” by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police
Department was flawed from the start.
In his first conversation with this “Detective”, 18 days after he was attacked,
Jim correctly offered Robert Perry White as the most likely suspect in this very
first telephone conversation with this “Detective”.
Detective Jill James informed Jim that because there were no witnesses
there would be no investigation!
What was Jim, he was there!
16
In contrast to Alana Geneva Peterson’s version, Jim’s version is not
contradictory.
In fact, Jim’s version is devoid of any contradiction and is in fact the
complete and total truth!
Please note, Jim volunteered to submit to a polygraph in that very first
conversation with Detective Jill James, her response - silence!
The fact that the victim in this brutal attack is an older and vulnerable law-
abiding and long-term citizen of the state of Nevada is meaningless to Detective
Jill James and to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department!
Jim was then unaware of the content of Alana Geneva Peterson’s 911
emergency call and her voluntary statement.
Jim’s friends in law enforcement have unanimously indicated that Alana
Geneva Peterson should have been arrested for submitting false statements to the
police involving a felonious crime against an older and vulnerable person!
After repeated requests and subsequent demands by Jim to his lawyer Paul
C Ray to subpoena all records and documents pertaining to event # LL
090208001971, lawyer Paul C Ray finally served a subpoena duces Tecum to the
custodian of records of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
This subpoena was for “Any and all records, files, and documents,
including 911 call records and transcripts pertaining to the incident at 733
Greenbrier Townhouse Way, Las Vegas, NV 89121 on February 8, 2009 at
approximately 1400 hrs.; James Richard Aymann, victim; Alana Peterson,
witness; Richard Lee Burch Jr. witness.”
All that was provided for Jim was the 911 emergency recordings.
Jim’s lawyer Paul C Ray did absolutely nothing to remedy the situation.
He had in fact already conducted depositions at great expense to Jim
prior to receiving any information from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police
Department.
Lawyer Paul C. Ray and the law firm of John Peter Lee turned out to be
tricksters, cheats and liars of the worst order.
Episode 4
17
With the upcoming trial looming, Jim served the Las Vegas Metropolitan
Police Department with his own Subpoena Duces Tecum.
The response to this subpoena by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police
Department clearly constituted a cover-up of their actions and non-actions
involving their refusal to investigate the brutal attack on Jim’s person!
Included with this response was a letter from Susanna S McCurdy –
Director of Police Records Bureau.
State of Nevada, County of Clark – Affidavit: October 29, 2013
“I Susanna S McCurdy, being duly sworn, on oath, depose and say: that I
am the records director of official police records maintained by the Las Vegas
Metropolitan Police Department.”
“That I am in receipt of your Subpoena Duces Tecum served to us on
October 18, 2013, requesting the diligent search for any and all documents and
911 call records pertaining to event number 090208 – 1971”
“That the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has redacted
privileged private personal information in which a reasonable person would have
a legitimate expectation of privacy.”
“Therefore the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department objects to
the subpoena on the foregoing grounds pursuant to NRCP (45) (2) (B).”
“That I have provided true, correct copies of all responsive documents
under my hand, and not privileged by law, except as otherwise indicated above, 19
pages in all.” –
Susannah S McCurdy – Director of police records Bureau.
Jim considers this overt refusal to comply with the subpoena for all
documents and all records as nothing less and nothing short of a cover-
up by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
20
Jim submits that the actions and non-actions of Las
Vegas Metropolitan Police Department constitutes a cover-up
of their actions and non-actions involving the felonious crimes
committed by Alana Geneva Peterson and her brother Robert
Perry White against James R Aymann (Jim).
This cover-up of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police
Department’s misdeeds involving the vicious and brutal attack
on Jim was also subsequently covered up by Judge Joanna S.
Kishner six weeks before the trial!
Please refer to Episode Nine of this website which
includes video recordings of court hearings involving this
brutal attack!
