illegal arrest & deportation.
DON’T GO 2 MEXICO
By the Genesis Association
docthaddeus@yahoo.com
(Revised and updated on 12/11/06)
Make no mistake about it. Mexico is a lawless land that shields itself from the true reality of who and what it is by promoting beautiful vacation
spots and low priced housing properties to lure unsuspecting Americans while sponsoring many United States newspapers, television and radio stations
with their unlimited financial resources supported by the drug cartels, and the backbone of the country which is the Mexican mafia. All of which is
enforced by the unscrupulous police and political officials who work for them by prowling the streets targeting unaware Americans, known as Gringo’s
to them or walking wallets of cash.
Make no mistake about it. They can take what ever you own, or have, at anytime they want to. And that, my dear reader, includes your life, as well.
In short, terrorism is everywhere, even at your back door, at your very border, and is beckoning and begging you each day to visit it through false
ads of relaxation, beauty, and safety at bargain prices.
“It doesn’t take Halloween to promote a Horror story”
The following was a labor of love that turned into a nightmare. After we contributed (17) months of our labor, time and total life savings;
including an entire settlement I received from a prior work injury, we, with good intentions, (foolishly) refurbished a (23) room run down mansion in
Rosarito, Mexico. Our intentions were to create a free clinic for drugs/alcohol & cancer treatments through our California non-profit, “Genesis
Association.” However, all of this came to a horrifying end, one day, when we were arrested, handcuffed, robbed, thrown into the bed of a police
pick-up truck, and deported, with machine guns aimed at our heads by fully armed Mexican police at 3 M in the afternoon on October 3, 2006.
All of our possessions, both personal and business, consisting of all of our life’s belongings including our cash, personal medical records, birth
certificates, diploma’s, life long family picture albums, medications, eyeglasses, dentures, clothes, shoes, food, dishes, pots & pans,
televisions, stereo’s, satellite systems, extensive sets of mechanical tools, complete sets of construction tools, exercise/health equipment, banking
accounts, (17) years of personally written manuscripts including; screenplays, commercials, television program formats, and songs, an expanded library
of books, tapes and CD’s, oil paintings, (4) computer systems containing pertinent information of our present and past businesses and contacts, (23)
rooms of furniture, (2) automobiles, a Mazda MPV and a Ford 350 crew-cab dually, that we purchased for transporting patients, as well as, moving
furniture and equipment, (5) automobiles, a Ford Mustang Convertible, a Jaguar XJ6, a Dodge Ram 250, a Porsche 944, and a 1975, (collectors piece),
Rolls Royce-Silver Shadow, that we purchased for major repairing by our part-time mechanic and for resale to help pay the expenses of the building,
etc., … you name it. It was a calculated gamble we took to turn metal into cash. What took us a lifetime to achieve and acquire was gone in a few
hours of horror. Our life’s assets were confiscated. There was constant snickering and laughing by the intruders as we sat handcuffed in the back of
their police truck watching them remove everything they could possibly carry from the house and spitefully load our own pick-up trucks that were
parked on the road in front of the building. On one occasion, as they passed by the truck that we were handcuffed to, they uttered in broken English,
“if we can not stay in your country, you gringo’s can not stay in ours,” as they began to laugh again. Within just a few hours we were whisked
through their diabolical legal system removed from everything that we owned and created with our blood, sweat, and tears, and were left standing on
the street in San Ysidro, California, with just the clothes on our back, no place to live, and a driver’s license; which we were told that we needed
for the deportation process. The only thing they didn’t get, luckily, was a few bucks that I hid in my shoe earlier that day to pick up an old motor
home. This is what we’ve been living on.
MORE BAD NEWS
Three months prior to all of this, on June 29, 2006, we had a “home invasion” at approximately 4AM while my son, daughter, and her boy friend were
visiting to help us in preparing for the inspections that we needed prior to applying for our licenses and permits to open as a hospice/clinic. My
daughter was robbed of everything, including her 2002 Rave 4 car, which she just purchased for her transportation from the East Coast to the West
Coast and, unfortunately, was not insured in Mexico and never found thereafter, and….. she was raped during the robbery with a gun to her head. My
son was beaten and robbed of everything he had. He was bound and gagged and made to stay in his bedroom or he would be killed. My daughter’s
boyfriend was beaten and robbed of all he had including his guitar and told to stay in his room or they would kill him. My lady friend and associate,
Kalen Davis, was beaten and robbed of her money, family heirlooms, multi-generations of hand me down jewelry, and decades of invaluable and
irreplaceable collections. And me, the writer of this story, Thaddeus Zebrowski, was robbed of all my jewelry, personal money, a coin collection, a
1997 Mazda MPV van which, approximately, (2) weeks later was confiscated by the border patrol as they were trying to smuggle aliens into the U.S., a
cash amount of $9,500 which had been set aside in our filing box for future lease payments on the property. Also, at that time, a Mexican doctor, who
we believe was part of the robbery, was residing in one of our bedrooms, but his room was never entered. It was the only room in the entire building
that was never entered. We filed a report with the Rosarito detectives but nothing ever came from it. They told my daughter that if she ever
mentioned the rape that she would be arrested and never seen again. Later, we were told by the investigating detectives that the case was too hard to
solve. Needless to say, my daughter, son, and their friend departed for the East Coast immediately after acquiring their plane tickets, carrying with
them the scars of the ordeal that they endured while in Rosarito and said they would never return again and are now, and always will be, true
advocates of cursing Mexico for destroying their lives.
On August 25, 2006, shortly after we were told by the Rosarito detectives that the case was too hard to solve, we had another “home invasion” around
12 midnight. We were asleep when we heard the main door kicked in and the internal alarm systems became active. There were too many plain clothes
young men to count. They, eventually, broke through a steel door that protected our master bedroom. I managed to keep them at bay with a crossbow,
which fortunately for me, they couldn’t exactly figure out what it was due to the poor lighting in the room. Through tense negotiations with one of
the perpetrators who appeared to be the leader and was able to speak broken English; he had said that they were informed that our basement was a
storage area for large amounts of drugs and they had to search it. I didn’t believe his story and he knew it. Seeing that this was not true, they
proceeded to crash through the doors on their way out, scaled the (8’) security wall that surrounds the mansion and left in numerous vehicles
resembling chevy suburbans. The next morning we reported the incident to the Rosarito detectives, but nothing ever came about from it, nor could
anyone explain who they were. The detectives told me that if I wanted to know, I would have to find out for myself.
On October 2, 2006 we had another “home invasion” at approximately 10PM, just after we had retired to our bedroom. This time they crashed through a
large window located on one of our balconies. The building had (7) balconies. We heard the noise and the interior alarm system went off. I,
immediately, ran to the balcony off of our bedroom and began shouting through a megaphone to the neighbors. Someone must have heard me and got
through to the police because we couldn’t. Every time we tried to explain who we were and where we were to the dispatcher, he would play dumb and ask
us to repeat ourselves. The perpetrators, seeing that the neighbors were awakened, and curious, made their exit, but very slowly and defiantly.
There didn’t appear to be more than about 3 or 4 of them in plain clothes. The uniformed police showed up around a half hour later and advised us
that the perpetrators purpose was to get us. Now how they would know this, made us think. Nothing was taken from the house. We stayed up all night
and waited until 8AM that morning knowing that we beat death one more time. On October 3, 2006 we made another report to the Rosarito detectives. The
detectives were very reluctant, at this time, to take our complaint and would not give us a copy of it. I demanded a copy of the picture and name of
the person who was driving my van, from the first robbery, when it was confiscated at the San Ysidro/Tijuana border while smuggling aliens, but I was
refused and was told that they did not keep records of complaints. It was ironic how the same Mazda MPV van was stolen from me twice in (3) months.
I explained to them that through my investigations that I had found out that all of these incidences involved the police. I had also taken pictures
of their shoe and finger prints and had them stored on my computer at my house. That was a mistake, because that afternoon at 3M we were arrested, robbed, and deported by the uniformed police of Rosarito &
Tijuana, and the same men who were there on August 25, 2006 in plain clothes supposedly searching for drugs.
When we try to explain to anyone and everyone that we lost everything, people just don’t understand what everything means because they’ve never
suffered that kind of loss. They think that maybe we misplaced it somewhere. They can’t understand that because of this….we haven’t a home, haven’t
a job, haven’t any credit, haven’t any bank accounts, haven’t proper clothing, haven’t an automobile, or any of the other things that I have mentioned
in the beginning of this synopsis. Luckily, I’m a Navy Veteran of the United States and can obtain medical attention. Together, we’re senior citizens
with a shattered future, if we have one at all! Not to mention that we have absolutely nothing left in our lives that proves we had existed for the
past 51 and 61 years, nor do we have any historical remnants of our families and that they existed. I, personally, can’t even call my children,
friends, or associates, or anyone else, because they have all of my contact phone numbers and business identification numbers. Our lives and the
means to make a living have been ripped away from us. All we have left is our age, which isn’t much to brag about, as we now exist in our little
motel room, sitting here in awe, knowing that in just a few more weeks we are going to have the privilege of being the next poster children, and prime
candidates for California’s welfare system.
It appears to us that more emphasis and concern is placed on trivial news that is entertaining to the public and has a sense of novelty to it, and
above all, increases ratings, such as: who stole the pumpkins off of someone’s lawn during Halloween, or someone adopting a child in some other
country, or what movie star is getting married and what kind of clothes the invited are wearing, or a President flubbing a few words in a sentence, or
a promiscuous politician, etc., etc., etc., rather than the perils that unknown, and nameless people suffer while trying to survive through life in
this world, or in their quests to help or make changes within humanity and within their means. There are millions of situations and complexities in
this world, but we feel that this ONE deserves to be heard because it is, after all, at our back door and concerns the welfare of ALL Americans,
especially, those who are interested in investing or traveling into another country, or harms way, such as Mexico?
Our Mexican Newspaper Allies
We shared all of our invasions/robberies and complaints with Nancy Conroy, a very brave lady, indeed, of the “Gringo Gazette” which is an English
written newspaper in Mexico. (nancy@gringogazettenorth.com) Nancy, the editor, was sympathetic to our ordeals and had heard and written numerous other
horror stories about Americans being kidnapped and murdered. She, in so many words, said that our encounters were very bizarre because of the nature
of how we were being attacked, so consecutively, and had warned us of the danger we were in because the mansion that we had refurbished to be a clinic
was at one time a large meth factory built by families of the cartel and that other murders had taken place there. And, that someone must want it
back. We would like to thank Nancy for keeping the gringo’s in the Rosarito/Tijuana area abreast of the truth and what’s going on and advising her
readers of our perils each time they occurred.
We, who had represented the Genesis Association of California, doing charitable work in Mexico, by helping people in need, regardless of nationality,
are asking what is it that we can do? We are looking for, and need, resolution to this injustice. We want to know who is willing to exercise that
responsibility, in the United States, for people and organizations that need help? Is there an (actual) official office in our government that
protects the citizens of the United States of injustices and terrorism from rogue authorities in other countries such as Mexico? We would like to
know. We need some answers, at the very least! This was an International Crime orchestrated by Mexican authorities. And, should be solved!

HELP is an understatement!
Make no mistake about it; Terrorism is at your back door.

Dear DocT. Mexico's president is Felipe Calderon Hinosa, since December 1, 2006. As far as the rest of what you claim happened to you, well,
my sympathies to your daughter for suffering rape.
But you say you brought prescription drugs into mexico? You imported hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment, computers, rugs, luxury
vehicles before you had licenses/permission to do so legally?
Did you declare that you were carrying more than $10,000 in negotiable form?
Why are you surprised that you were deported?

My sincere condolences.
As villadelfin pointed out, it appears that you may have been in blatant violation of several Mexican laws. I suspect this was the basis of the
deportation and confiscation.
However; In the future... when living in a mansion in an impoverished country I would advise selling an extra Rolls Royce, Jaguar, or Porsche to pay
for some security guards or bribe a few cops for protection. It might help avoid the situation that occured.
From my experience, it is best not to flaunt wealth... and it sounds to me like the locals were seeing, "Rich gringo in the mansion, fancy cars,
jewelry, electronics, etc.."
Similar things happen to wealthy people all over the world, including wealthy Mexicans in Mexico. The intruders don't really care where you are from,
they just want your stuff or "their" house back. Many wealthy people in DF have bodyguards, face kidnapping, extortion, etc.. They know the reality
of the situation and deal with it accordingly.
Thats just my 2 cents.
Again my sincere condolences to both you and your family. What has occured sounds horrible. I wish you and your family well and hope you are able to
get some resolution.

Wow.
Did you have security guards?
I know a wealthy person in TJ with mansions and car collections like yours, and they have pretty heavy security. I got the impression that living in
TJ with a mansion with rolls, jags and porsches is a bit like waving a flag at the criminals and ner-do-wells; hence, security and connections are
advisable for people living in a visible wealthy way.

This is truly strange. Can anyone verify if any of this is true?
I have read some stories that even some of the wealthy Mexicans in TJ have problems and are trying to move out.
If there is even a grain of truth to this story it is troubling.

Nothing like getting slapped in the face by the cold cruel facts of life!
Since you already have experience writing screenplays, turn these lemons into lemonade. Sounds like a great movie in the making to me! Maybe Michale
Moore is looking for something to do?

How can they steal bank accounts, or were just your records of your account numbers taken? Seems to me you could still walk into the branch you had
your accounts and obtain your money?
This story is true, and has been well documented in the gringo.
We don't know if this guy paid import duty on these things, so don't automaticly label him a criminal. They were however, based on appearances it
seems, living like rich gringos.
It is also obvious, by the way the guy writes that he went into the police station and "demanded" copies of his police reports, that he rubbed some
people the wrong way. Hell, the way his report is written rubbed me the wrong way and I have sympathy for what he and his family went through. I
wonder what his screen plays are like? |

of post that we all can learn from. the first thing I would do is get in touch withe the Charity that you were working with and see if they can help
you get your life back together .
your post did raise a lot of questions so even though you wrote allot I hope you will add more info when you can. the more info you post here the
better chance someone will think of some thing to help you.
one question I have is. Was the Immigration involved with your Deportation?

Google shows that he is a writer and science fiction editor. No listing for his charity, Genesis Association, other than the post that
appears on this board. The same post was also sent to many different agencies.
If the events depicted in this post are true, he sure found a way to p**s off the wrong people! It is scary. It is not hard to find bad experiences in
Tijuana, and in all of Mexico. It helps to be aware and to try to avoid them. This board is full of reported pitfalls and how to avoid them. Cultural
sensitivity and knowledge of how the political system works will go a long way toward keeping you out of trouble. If the events are not true, I cannot
imagine what his agenda could be for his post.
I did the Google search because there is something that strikes me as not quite right. I am not saying that The Genesis Associationis not
legitimate, but it is strange that there is no information about it on the web.
To wend your way through the maze of legal and political structure without stepping on toes is probably impossible. It is possible to align the right
forces in order to move forward with a project of this magnitude, but that takes a lot of diplomatic savvy, and.........money. It would appear that
Doc Thaddeus did not possess this kind of moxie. Another put off for me is that he was striving to open a charitable medical clinic. Referring to
oneself as "Doc" does not exactly inspire confidence.
Then, his in-your-face writing style literally makes me step back from the force of his breath. That was my departure point for doing my detective
work.
If these horrible things did happen to him and his family I can certainly understand his outrage. If they did happen, hopefully he can learn from the
experience and subsequent advice so that he can proceed in his quest for justice more diplomatically and intelligently. I think, by now, the big
picture is apparent to him.
The wolf needs sheep to feed on in order to live another day to feed. That is his purpose, and surely, the next sheep will come along.

there are allot of things that don't add up in the article and I to have reservations. these people obviously made many critical mistakes that I can
see just from there writing. and I wonder about the people that were advising them in there endeavors. but I am going to withhold judgment until they
post more information.

I also must say, how unfortunate an experience to "live through". My heart goes out to you & your family. Some good points made by the
"responders". A 'screen writer'? What a plot for a movie. Or a mystery novel. Drug rehab center for an area known for their 'drug problems"? As a
member of a drug cartel might say, "we don't need a rehab center, run by a bunch of gringo's. Close it down!!!!!! So a call to their "pals" in the
police dept. If I were living in that area, I'd think I'd be installing a 'concealed' movie camera right away. There would be my proof if this were
to happen to me. I'd also not hire a 'local' to do the installation. I would bring someone from the states who has this knowledge and access to the
equipment. And offer him/her a free weekend 'across the border' in exchange for the time away from home. You paying for all the costs involved,
obviously.
If he doesn't respond to the questions asked. I'd then decide it wasn't real.
Maybe while I'm typing this, he's responded. We'll see. Kind of scary, huh??
Makes the 'hi rise's' make more sense. I don't blame anyone for wanting to enjoy this wonderful culture. I have a Mexican neighbor here who because
of the crime in TJ moved his family to San Diego, just because of what's going on just below the border.
I anxiously await your reply, Dr.

...I had the same feeling from the article that Toneart had. A non-profit 501(c3) organization would have turned up many hits on Google. Something
else that caught my attention was that they had spent 17 months and a lot of money on a property that was leased...it seems that they had not done
proper research into permits, etc. for what they were trying to do. That said, the ordeal descriibed would have been hard to endure and I can
understand his bitterness. Do any Nomads from the Rosarito area have any independant knowledge of these happenings..???

Goggle gets me Results of about 1,880,000 for the Genesis Association. but I can not connect any to this person or any project in Mexico.
http://www.genesis.org.ge/
I don't think this is them.
Also cant find where they were registered in Mexico to do business.

I've been very busy writing to most of the national magazines. I want to take a few minutes here to correct some people on what they thought they had
read in many of the above captions.
1. All the cars were in bad condition and brought to Mexico for repairs and then to sell to help pay the bills for the Genesis building.
2. We used all the money we had to rebuild this mansion/clinic, including the money that I received from a injury settlement.
3. Hind sight is always 20/20
4. Anyone who doesn't believe that the mexican mafia does not run that country is an idiot.
5. Amost everything that I brought into Mexico was through Otay Border and I did pay import on it.
6. I never brought drugs into Mexico. The sound of it echo's a stupid accusation. People bring drugs into the States not into Mexico.
7. We didn't have hundreds of thousands dollars in equipment. We were awaiting donations from the States.
8. Yes, there is a Genesis Association and it is registered in the State of California as a charity organization. Because our services were going to
be free.
9. What is left of our web site can be seen at: genesis-mexico.com
10. The way they came in and got us in the middle of the day would have overcome any security system or guards that we could have had.
11. We did not violate any law of Mexico in repairing a run down mansion for the purpose of making a clinic/hospice.
I have more to say, but I must get back to my quest of catching the criminals involved in destroying my life. And, in closing, I would like to
thank the people who understand me.

This is very interesting. It is popular on this site to blame the victim. But if we can stick to the facts maybe we can all benefit from this man's
experience.
As I understand it, all of his property was confiscated and he was deported. Was he ever charged for any crime?
If that is the case isn't any foreign person subject to the same treatment?
Can they just decide they don't like you and take your stuff. What legal recourse does this man have?
