Dear Open Records Coordinator for the Capital Area Council of Governments,

 

This is a Texas Open Records request in which I seek to obtain from you a copy of any and all e-mail communications referring at least once in any manner to myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, that at any time since 12:01 a.m. April 28, 2011, were written, sent, or received by any of the state-certified peace officers employed in Travis County, Texas, by your "Capital Area Council of Governments" regional-government legal authority.

 

In addition, I hereby seek to obtain from your Austin-based regional-government legal authority a copy of any and all e-mail communications referring to myself at least once that at any time since 12:01 a.m. April 28, 2011, were written, sent, e-mailed, or received by a chairman or other member of, or a staff member for, any of the following four respective advisory committees to your regional government: 

·        Aging Advisory Council (AAC);

·        Criminal Justice Advisory Committee (CJAC);

·        Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF); and 

·        Law Enforcement Education Committee (LEEC).

 

My legal name is "John Kevin McMillan". I was born on April 27, 1957, at Lincoln, Nebraska. 

 

I am a single adult permanently-drinking-alcohol-free white non-Hispanic gentleman of English, Scottish, and German ancestry.

 

I have resided in Austin proper ever since mid-March 1997, during which time I have been employed by a variety of reputable employers, including the Texas Department of Public Safety state law-enforcement agency. I was employed full-time in the DPS Motor Carrier Bureau along Guadalupe Street for one year in the late 1990s.

This public-information request was prompted in part by having read recently that infliction of continuous and toxic noise pollution on targeted human-rights victims has frequently occurred in cases of religious or political persecution of those individuals.

I myself am a lifelong non-Christian gentleman. I take pride in being law-abiding, conscientious, very civil, and honest. I am very opposed to the deliberate infliction of continuous noise pollution on anyone in a context that violates his own privacy rights. I also oppose the infliction of continuous anonymous obscene communications on anyone in a context that violates his own privacy rights. I also oppose infliction of thought-control projects on anyone.

In August of 2001 one Travis County Government official, David Ferris, Civil Probate Division Director for the Travis County Clerk's Office in Austin, volunteered an oral statement to me on the telephone during a polite local phone call I had made to his government office from inside a rental-apartment unit I had just moved into in northwest Austin (this after having myself been informed in writing by most recent previous apartment manager in Austin that my UT campus-area rental-efficiency-apartment at ViewPoint Apartments along Leon Street was no longer being rented to any non-student, with the ViewPoint management team also having informed me in writing in 2001 that for that one total reason --- my not being a registered college student or graduate student--- I myself did not have the option of renewing my lease for my efficiency apartment at that ViewPoint Apartments complex):

"There appears to be an attempt by numerous persons to drive you (John Kevin McMillan of northwest Austin) out of the Austin area," Travis County official David Ferris stated to me on his own volition.

A few years ago, as I walked near one Austin gentleman at a public place in northwest Austin, I overheard him stating to a friend of this: "That guy is in Auschwitz (sic), but no one else is."

My primary personal e-mail address of "mcmillanj@att.net" and my primary personal phone number of "512-342-2295" have remained the same throughout the nine-and-one-half-year period applicable to this public-information request. I have paid for and maintained the AT&T cell phone number of (512) 993-7305 ever since August 2019.

I am a former Salutatorian of Stephen F. Austin High School of Austin Independent School District in Austin, Texas. I am an alumnus of The University of Texas at Austin and The University of Minnesota Graduate School of Journalism and Mass Communications in Minneapolis, respectively.

During the nine-and-one-half-year period applicable to this public-information request, I have resided at the following locations, listed chronologically from oldest address for me to most recent address: 

---Wind River Crossing Apartments, 11411 Research Boulevard, Apt. 325, Austin, TX 78759; 

---Crossland Economy Studios, 12621 Hymeadow Road, Apt. 133, Austin, TX 78729; 

---Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Apt. 902, Austin, TX 78759;

---Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Apt. 1609, Austin, TX 78759;

---Austin Motor Inn, 11400 North Interstate Highway 35, a first-floor room, Austin, TX 78753; and

---Pebble Creek Apartments, 8805 North Plaza Drive, Apt. 2418, Bldg. 17, Austin, TX 78753.

 

When Austin Independent School District (AISD) classes are being held, my current apartment complex in northeast Austin, Pebble Creek Apartments, is serviced on schoolday mornings by AISD buses and AISD bus drivers.

I am the founder and only approved current member of a new and non-Christian non-proselytizing "Honor Society" religion, the anti-marijuana, anti-medical-marijuana, anti-illicit-drugs, anti-tobacco, anti-drinking-alcohol, anti-tattoos, anti-profanity-minded, anti-facial-hair-minded  "Progressive Prohibitionist Religion", that has very stringent membership-eligibility requirements. 

That one total religion of mine opposes home-invasion crimes, opposes personal-injury-crimes, opposes sexual assault crimes, opposes the sex crime of pederasty, opposes the infliction of profanity or obscene speech on anyone in a context that violates their own privacy rights, opposes anonymous communications that violate the privacy of the person being subjected to those communications, opposes fraudulent or knowingly dishonest communications, opposes thought-control projects, opposes so-called "deprogramming" projects, opposes kidnappings, opposes hostage-takings, opposes compelled speech that violates the privacy rights of the individual being subjected to that compelled speech against his wishes, and opposes deliberate infliction of continuous noise pollution on anyone in a context that harms that individual's own medical health or that is aimed at punishing him or her for having political or religious or personal beliefs---or personal prejudices, even---that are disliked or opposed by the perpetrators or sponsors of that noise pollution.

Numerous current or former Central Texas residents have stated to me over a multi-year period that they either dislike or intensely dislike or question the authenticity of my own fully-independent "Progressive Prohibitionist Religion" (PPR). It is an implicitly-deistic, non-atheistic, factually-minded, quality-of-life-oriented religion. 

Around the turn of the century I gave several televised speeches on behalf of that religion of mine on local Community Access Television in Austin. One younger Central Texan man left a violent-sounding and obscene anonymous recorded phone message on my telephone-answering machine inside my apartment near UT-Austin---a recorded phone message in which he volunteered that he himself is "Catholic". In his recorded message to me, he stated that he was reacting to one or more locally televised speeches of mine that I gave on behalf of my PPR religion.

 

Around the turn of the century, one former Austin-area resident, Dr. Michael Kim McMillan, declared to me in person with indignation and revulsion in his tone of voice and facial expression in a conversation I had with him outdoors near UT-Austin's campus that occurred during a brief visit of his to the Austin area from out of state: "The 'Heaven on Earth' religion you've (John Kevin McMillan of Austin) established has inflicted Hell on this entire planet!"
