In an e-mail dated Sun, 8/28/2016 at 6:32 PM Kim “Numpty” Garnier sent the following:
"Attached is one of many examples of Coalition Board Member Steve McMillan acting as Collins’ attack dog. So far he’s called a board member a “Bimbo”, said he wanted to cram something down a board member’s “tight throat” and stated a board member was “in for a rude awakening". This is from a “Coalition” that claims to want “civility” on the board."
The attachment, part of a series of personal text messages, was a text message sent to me by John Collins, advising me of a special board meeting and asking that I attend. I did not attend the meeting nor did I respond to the text. Garnier continues with her allegations, NOT being “Truthful” in her portrayal of the comments attributed to me. Let me explain. I did call Ms. Beatty a “Bimbo”. I also said Ms. Beatty, NOT another board member, was “in for a rude awakening”. These two comments were contained in a single, private e-mail, between my daughter and me. I did not make these statements in a public venue or in a manner that would embarrass. I was talking to my daughter, via an e-mail. Below is the content of the e-mail in question.

I guess I will have to dust off my politico rants and begin paying attention and taking this bimbo on..... Like I have nothing else to do with my "spare" time... OH wait... I smoke cigars and drink.... I can do it then.... Ms. Beatty is in for a rude awakening....."
This e-mail was obtained through one of the hundreds of Public Information Requests made by the Garniers. In another e-mail, again obtained through a PIR, I responded to a question from a teacher. Let’s take a look at the exchange:

"It was a pleasure to finally meet you last night. If you send me a link to your blog I will post it to the PFT Facebook group.
Something that has been bugging me since last night is the fact the Charles Seller's wife is a member of PSEA. Everyone outside was shocked at how he can speak at length about everyone else having conflict of interest yet he voted to increase his own household income."

"Peter,
Sorry for the delay in getting this out. My BLOG address is http://boardofeducationpoway.blogspot.com/ . Sellers is being hit at various levels now about his wife and he is now starting to defend (really deflect) this issue. It will not go away and more is to come. If you have not seen his posts on Voice of San Diego, I would suggest you review and post them for your members. This guy is a bully and will get much worse before he ever gets better. I will be pushing ever button available to get him to go over the edge. I will simply use his own words and actions to do it. Share my blog and tell teachers if they send me info and articles as well as ideas, I will run with them. Common Core is a big ticket issue as well for this dolt and the more info I can cram down his tight throat the better.
Thank you for all you do for kids and teachers. I know at times it feels like you are shoveling against the tide, but know there are more than you know out here who fully support everything you do.

So, as we look at Kim “Numpty” Garnier and her being “Truthful” I think she fails. I did not say, " wanted to cram something down a board member’s “tight throat”. I was specific as to who and what and again the comment was made in a private e-mail. Garnier knows the context of my comment and chose to modify / alter it to suit her desired meaning. The same was done with the comments about Ms. Beatty, written in a private e-mail to my daughter. Garnier attempts to portray the comments as more than they are and leaves out parts that would not support her agenda. When being “Truthful”, context is very important.
I could write for days related to the twisting of others words, withholding information to bolster an agenda, exaggerations of trivial incidents and outright lies Kim “Numpty” Garnier posts in her volumes of e-mails as she SPAM’s an ever growing list of souls. The conspiracy theories of the Garnier’s and Keith “Jobby” Wilson are so grand in scope it would take several teams of FBI Agents and Prosecutors years to put together. If only it (the conspiracy) were real. The assumptions of these three Gobshites are nothing short of delusional in scope.
The attacks of Mary Andrews, Scott Fisher, I and the Coalition were expected. The attack of Darshana Patel and Debbie Cooper, for applying for and accepting the endorsement of the Colition was fully expected. The Garnier’s and Wilson have such a long and storied history of attacking people for no other reason than the person refused to agree to engage them in conversation or agree with their views.
Yet another e-mail sent by Kim “Numpty” Garnier: (Special note; this e-mail was a reply to a response from “PUSD Truth Teller”. Garnier assumes PUSD Truth Teller is “Mr. McNamara”.)

Subject: Re: Coalition supports the Collins-Way
Dear Mr. McNamara,
Please get your facts straight. What you call character assassination, I call, telling it like it is. The amount of lies coming forth on the part of the old cronies at PUSD is remarkable.
Please use your name and prove your statements. Everything I write or say, I can prove, that is why I put my name to it. Come after me legally if I am not being truthful.
I made the claim that Mary Andrews supported the CAB. She did. I made the claim that Candy Smiley called MOR and Zane "stupid", she did. I made the claim that McMillan was Collins right hand man and attacked several board members, he did. I made the claim that John Collins is a thief and his wife an adulterer, and she is. These are facts. You can spin things however you'd like to but the facts are the facts and this community knows that anyone associated with John Collins or the old Pow-Way is crooked and self serving.
If it wasn't for Charles Sellers and Kimberley Beatty, the three stooges would still be allowing Collins to steal from the kids. Even Andy Patapow allowed tax payer money to pay his personal bills. So did Sandi Burgoyne, who was responsible for the Dolinka Group and the Billion Dollar CAB.
The wool has been pulled off the eyes of the public and the tax payers, parents and teachers. They are no longer being fooled by Candy's whisper campaigns or the "we're here for the kids" fallacy.
People are shocked that the family John Collins brought in guns for, was actually correct. The old way is crumbling before your very eyes. The dynasty is done. We have teachers and administrators collecting evidence against people at PUSD to include Candy Smiley. All the secrets the Coalition and the corrupt cronies are trying to protect, cannot be protected. This community is fighting for PUSD to be the prestigious school district it once was it is looking for leaders with integrity.
Accept the inevitable and step aside. The younger generation with fresh ideas and morality is coming up and there is no room for you and your buddies. Please show ANY evidence of your claims. We are all waiting. And put your name to it like I put my name to my claims.
Have a wonderful day Sir.
Sincerely,
KIM GARNIER
So as I accept the inevitable and step aside, I can take solace in knowing the younger generation with fresh ideas and morality is coming up. My question is who is the younger generation with these fresh ideas and morality? It is clearly NOT Christopher “Jobby” Garnier or his wife Kim “Numpty” Garnier. They have no fresh ideas. They have been spewing the same old lines of crap for over a year. They have nothing fresh and the connotation of “fresh ideas” denotes thoughtful, analytical, reasoned thinking. None of which, by way of experience, is capable from these two individuals. Then the “morality” issue. I had to take a break for this one. Tears were flowing as I laughed out loud, trying to picture this word and the Garnier’s and Jobby Wilson in the same frame.
I have counted no less than twelve e-mails from the Garnier’s in the past 48 hours. Their attempts to discredit or tarnish good people, is simply a pathetic and desperate attempt to remain relevant. I have news for them. They have not been relevant for some time. They will, as history shows, become more active and volatile as they are challenged and dismissed. Their name calling, threats of law suits, threats to “expose”, and caustic vitriol will increase in volume and regularity as the election draws near.
The focus for many in the community is finding two people who can work collaboratively, with integrity, to bring the focus of the PUSD School Board back to kids and education. The Coalition is solely focused on this goal. There is no conspiracy or attempt to “protect secrets and corrupt cronies”. The Coalition worked for eight months to put together a frame work for selecting two candidates who could best help meet these goals. Nine candidates completed paper work to seek election. Eight of these candidates sought the endorsement of the Coalition. Beatty refused an offer to meet with the Coalition.
Darshana Patel and Debra Cooper were endorsed by the Coalition on August 23, 2016. They most represented the six criteria used for selection by the coalition. I would urge voters to get to know these two exceptional women and to strongly consider voting for them to fill the two seats in November for the Trustee positions on the School Board for the Poway Unified School District Board of Education.
