Something you learn about political players when you’ve been a pawn of government for years, as I’ve been, is that integrity is more often a posture they assume than a principle they honor.

I don’t know much about the character of Texas Governor Greg Abbott, but an article caught my attention last week that made me wonder if he might be among the exceptions. The piece was about administrative reshuffling.

This piqued my curiosity because I was persecuted through law enforcement and the courts for over 12 years by a woman who was a Texas state official for the majority of that time. The agency where she worked, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), banned me from its premises. How I know this, despite never having stepped foot in Texas in my life, is because one of the TCEQ’s directors, a man I had never met, testified against me in 2013 to have me unlawfully deprived of my First Amendment rights. That was two years after another of its directors gave a press conference firmly asserting that the TCEQ was opposed to censorship. It took the intervention of constitutional rockstar Eugene Volokh to conditionally recover my freedom to speak about these matters at all.

This is the kind of bureaucratic madness that will drive a person to eat his own hair, and I’ve written a lot about it since 2018:

Well, this is to report that senior TCEQ toxicologist Tiffany Bredfeldt, my accuser, is no longer on the Texas state payroll.

Her boss, TCEQ Toxicology Director Michael Honeycutt, the guy who testified against me from his office in Texas (where he may have had his feet propped on his desk), is also gone.

Documents conflict, but the agency executive I’ve criticized for making pat pronouncements that didn’t correspond with practice, L’Oreal Stepney, appears to have been removed from the agency, too.

Yeah.

I’m hardly vain enough to believe that I occasioned a purge, but it’s enough of a coincidence to encourage me to think someone in the upper echelons actually attended to something I’ve written and took it to heart.

All of what I’ve just mentioned is below the radar, of course. Tiffany Bredfeldt’s Researchgate profile still identifies her as an employee of the TCEQ. But The Texas Tribune, which reports state employees’ salaries, says otherwise.

Similarly, Mike Honeycutt’s LinkedIn profile says he’s still the TCEQ’s Tox Director, and there’s no agency tweet wishing him a fond farewell. But a TCEQ blog entry announcing his replacement, Sabine Lange, notes Honeycutt’s “retirement.” And The Texas Tribune reports that like Bredfeldt he’s no longer drawing a paycheck. More worthy of applause to me is that Mrs. Lange seems to be an honest-to-god human being and not an industry panderer, and a political appointee with a soul merits a nod.

The Tribune reports that L’Oreal Stepney is still the deputy executive director of the TCEQ but according to a TCEQ organization chart dated January 9, 2023, she has been replaced by Brent Wade.

A notice out of the governor’s office says Stepney, whom I’ve come to think of as Stoop-kneel, has been placed on some kind of water board…which is what I feel like I’ve been on for about a third of my life, thanks in no small part to derelictions from every person I turned to for help or understanding.

I don’t know Gregory Abbott but like him I was nearly killed in a fluke accident in my mid-20s. I wasn’t paralyzed as he was, but I have two reconstructed limbs and like him I know what recovery from extreme debility teaches, namely, that without a measure of security and freedom life loses a lot of its luster.

Greg Abbott was a lawyer and a judge, and I think he knows that laws aren’t always applied righteously and that courts’ investment in protecting litigants’ sacred entitlements to life and liberty can be indifferent at best.

I’d like to believe that these facts may have been influential in motivating a regime change at the TCEQ. I haven’t received a gubernatorial apology, however, so as far as Gov. Greg Abbott’s spirit animal goes…the jury’s still out.

What TCEQ Exec L’Oreal Stepney Would Ask Tiffany Bredfeldt if She Cared Whether the Scientists Her Agency Employed Were Fucking Liars

The author of this post, Todd Greene, was targeted at his home in 2005 by a disturbed married woman named Tiffany Bredfeldt who was then a doctoral candidate at the University of Arizona and has since 2006 been a Ph.D. She indulged an infatuation and then lied to whitewash her conduct.

For the next 12 years, Greene would be in and out of court with Bredfeldt, based largely on allegations of hers stemming from their three-month acquaintance in 2005. Those allegations, by her own admission (in 2016), would be made “to the Court multiple times [and] to multiple police departments, detectives, federal agencies, and other officials in several states”—including the Arizona Dept. of Public Safety and the FBI.

In 2010, Bredfeldt joined the staff of Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Three years later, she prosecuted Greene with the help of her boss, TCEQ Toxicology Director Michael Honeycutt, to prevent Greene from talking about his experiences in court. The upshot of their tag-team effort was an unlawful injunction imposed upon Greene that forbid him from speaking about Bredfeldt’s conduct or his own travails in the “justice system,” even “by word of mouth.”

The illegal injunction, which violated Greene’s First Amendment rights (and concealed lies), was dissolved in 2018 (five years later) after Bredfeldt sued to have Greene wrongfully imprisoned for allegedly violating the censorship order.

Recent posts on this blog have criticized administrators at the TCEQ for their claims and conduct and provided a brief series of statements culled from the hours and reams of “evidence” that show so plainly that Bredfeldt is a liar that even a bureaucrat or a judge couldn’t fail to discern the fact.

What follow are questions that TCEQ administrators who probably rankle at my criticisms might pose to Dr. Bredfeldt to clarify conclusively whether they have supported and continue to employ a person who is most succinctly called a fucking liar.

In sworn testimony given in evidence against Mr. Greene in 2013, Dr. Honeycutt informed the court that you had told him Mr. Greene had “propositioned” you in 2005, and he opined that “propositioned” meant Mr. Greene had sought to have sex with you.

QUESTIONS: How did Mr. Greene “proposition” you? What specifically did he say? Did he touch you?

In a document you submitted in evidence to the court in 2006, an email from you to him, you tell Mr. Greene that you “never felt the need” to inform him you were married because you thought he viewed you “strictly as a social friend.” In the same email, you say he had been “nice” to you.

QUESTION: How does this align with the account you later related to Dr. Honeycutt prior to the 2013 lawsuit?

A few months after you provided evidence to the court that you had “never felt the need” to tell Mr. Greene that you were married, you alleged to the court that Mr. Greene had made “several physical, romantic advances” toward you despite being rebuked and that he continued to engage in this conduct and forced you to respond by removing yourself from the premises where he lived.

QUESTION: How is the statement that you “never felt the need” to tell Mr. Greene you were married consistent with your statement that he made repeated “physical…advances” toward you?

QUESTIONS: What form did these “physical, romantic advances” take? Did he grasp you?

Immediately before providing these seemingly contradictory statements to the court, you informed the police Mr. Greene had made a single advance toward you, that you “calmly explained” your marital status, and that he acknowledged your wish to be friends only.

QUESTION: Why did you later tell the court that he made repeated advances toward you?

In your statement to the police, you said you had told him you were married.

QUESTION: Why then during the later action Dr. Honeycutt supported you in, in 2013, did you testify that you had never told Mr. Greene you were married?

*One of the TCEQ’s administrators the author of this post has (obliquely) criticized, Stephanie Perdue, its (former) deputy executive officer, has a law degree. The others, Michael Honeycutt and L’Oreal Stepney, who was recently promoted to deputy executive director, have advanced degrees in science and engineering, respectively. Honeycutt is today the EPA’s top scientist. Bredfeldt apparently separated from her husband at or about the time their final lawsuit against the writer was dismissed.

L’Oreal Stepney Vanishes!: On How Legal Abuse Hides and Legal Abusers Hide

Has L’Oreal Stepney, a Texas Commission on Environmental Quality deputy director and the subject of a recent post on this site (here represented as a children’s entertainer), gone off and joined the circus? This post will use the disappearance of images of her from the first page of Google’s returns to exemplify how legal abuse is concealed.

Since a series of malicious prosecutions against this writer terminated in 2018 and his First Amendment rights were “restored” by a court system that never had the authority to deny them in the first place, he has endeavored to expose wrongdoing—in a majority of cases by government officials who enjoy the public’s trust undeservedly—while at the same time demonstrating to others who have endured abuses similar to those the writer has that they have the constitutionally guaranteed liberty to voice complaint.

Not meekly, not anonymously, not in prose sanitized of names and dates and allegations but pointedly and graphically. Criticism is protected speech, and it doesn’t have to be polite.

In the name of “social justice,” procedures of law that enable any adult, citizen or not, to stroll into a courthouse and upend other people’s lives according to nothing more than their own say-so have been allowed to stand for decades.  Lying is not only tolerated in court; it’s standard operating procedure, especially in civil court, which is a procedural backwater with zero accountability. The processes and how they’re conducted are farcical, which translates to cruel and indecent.

Here are a few ways, for example, that protective orders may be employed:

The gamut of abuses is only limited by accusers’ imaginations and lack of scruples.

One successful prosecution (total investiture: less than two hours’ time and sometimes mere minutes) can moreover open the door to serial mischief, including violation of constitutional rights and liberties. In the writer’s case, past false but prejudicial claims were used to deny him the freedom to speak, including by “word of mouth,” about his own travails in court. For five years. And he’s hardly alone (see for instance the case here or that of Bruce Aristeo, who remains subject to one of the most draconian speech injunctions the writer has ever seen).

The order that forbid the writer from discussing even matters of public record was eventually dissolved (after more strenuous exertions than any outsider could possibly comprehend).

So what do scofflaws do when the court is no longer willing to abet them? They get creative (or desperate, depending on your perspective).

The woman named in the title of this post, L’Oreal Stepney, has done nothing to injure the writer directly. He has merely pointed out that in her capacity as a representative of the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality, which has injured the writer directly, she falsely reported that the TCEQ doesn’t engage in censorship. Her role in anything concerning the writer was tangential only. Still, what he has reported is potentially embarrassing to her. So—

Here is the carousel of images that pop up when Google is queried with the search terms L’Oreal Stepney.

In recent weeks, this carousel hasn’t appeared on the first page of Google’s returns, as such image strips typically do when names are queried. As of this writing, it’s deep on page 2. The same is true of other TCEQ administrators the writer has criticized, Michael Honeycutt, its director of toxicology, and Stephanie Bergeron Perdue, its deputy executive director: The carousels for them disappear from the first page of Google’s returns, or they regularly plummet to the bottom.

It’s common knowledge that most people only pay attention to what emerges on page 1. I don’t know what specific underhand methods are used to accomplish this end, but this is how the game of politics works.

You don’t make wrongs right; you cover your butt.

*The writer believes the suspected agent of this suspected conduct, a disturbed woman named Tiffany Bredfeldt, currently or formerly an employee of the TCEQ, who appears to have been dumped by her husband a couple of years ago, makes search engine manipulation a dedicated part of her everyday routine since duping the court for over a decade.

L’Oreal Stepney, TCEQ Director, Falsely Denies Agency’s Censorship Practices

“Let me say this clearly. We are not an agency that is about censorship. It is not what we do, it is wrong, it is not who we are.”

—L’Oreal Stepney (2011)

That’s how the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality’s deputy director of the Office of Water responded to allegations by scientists that their conclusions had been censored by her agency, which considers climate change to be “unsettled science.” The TCEQ was accused of censoring facts that appeared to support the contrary.

L’Oreal Stepney countered the criticism by flatly stating that censorship was wrong and was not representative of TCEQ practices.

Less than 24 months after Stepney’s public protestation, a censorship order against this writer was unlawfully coerced from an Arizona judge by TCEQ senior toxicologist Tiffany Bredfeldt with the help of TCEQ Toxicology Director Michael Honeycutt to conceal facts that were potentially embarrassing to them and to the agency that apparently still provides them with paychecks seven years later.

A detailed account of Bredfeldt’s and Honeycutt’s statements to the court, including contradictory testimony, is here.

The 2013 injunction that they succeeded in securing against the writer, which made reporting his experiences with Bredfeldt both in and out of court, even “by word of mouth,” a criminal offense was itself in violation of the law, specifically, the Constitution. It was furthermore issued without a trial, which was also illegal.

According to testimony given by Honeycutt in 2013 (linked to above), the TCEQ had, besides, censored the writer within its agency before any court judgment was issued, in 2011 or 12, in other words, almost exactly concurrent with Stepney’s denial that the agency engaged in censorship, and it seems unlikely that Honeycutt would have or could have acted without other TCEQ administrators’ knowledge. Either Stepney knew, or she arguably should have known. Her 2011 public pronouncement that “censorship…is wrong” should have placed the entire agency on notice.

“[A]s a general matter, the First Amendment means that government has no power to restrict expression because of its message, its ideas, its subject matter, or its content” unless the speech falls within one of the “well-defined and narrowly limited” exceptions, like defamation or obscenity. United States v. Stevens, 559 U.S. 460, 468-69 (2010) (citations omitted). Here, the injunction restricts Greene’s speech based on its subject matter and content—but covers speech that does not fit within any First Amendment exceptions [Greene v. Bredfeldt, Brief of Amicus Curiae, 2017].

The unlawful speech injunction (or “prior restraint”) that was imposed on the writer in 2013, and whose intent was to conceal a vicious hoax, stood for five years and was only dissolved after Bredfeldt attempted to have the writer imprisoned for its alleged violation, a threat that loomed over the writer’s head for two years, during which his father died, alone, while the writer was preoccupied with defending himself from accusations founded on lies.

The writer was rewarded with nothing but sore joints and muscles in contrast to the six-figure annual salary Stepney enjoyed during the same period. His ambition, corrupted by a dozen years of false, filthy, and/or frivolous allegations (which remain unrectified to this day), had been to publish humor for kids.

The loss of First Amendment freedoms, for even minimal periods of time, unquestionably constitutes [an] irreparable injury [Elrod v. Burns, 427 U.S. 347 (1976)].

I’m pretty sure the TCEQ was implicated in information suppression recently, moreover, and there’s no question that some critics of the agency consider suppression and/or distortion of facts typical of TCEQ “science.”

L’Oreal Stepney, a consummate bureaucrat whose claims of disdaining censorship are ones this writer considers expedient falsehoods, has reportedly sought to hold the TCEQ’s top administrative position. She apparently feels she should run the agency.

The writer wouldn’t trust someone so willing to sweep dirt under the rug with a job on its janitorial staff.

Stepney has the last laugh, though. At the expense of the Texas working class, she’s lavishly paid $165,000 a year.
