Beware of the Lords of Bakersfield
Star Rating - 11/19/2018
I've been in this area almost 50 years.
I have encountered two classes of people here: the salt of the earth, give you the shirt off their backs and THE LORDS OF BAKERSFIELD.
You can google and read all about it.
Bakersfield is a good place to make a fortune and get out. There is money to be made here. If you are okay working and going home, you will do fine here. Of course, there are a lot of bars (not my thing.)
There are some safe organizations you can get involved in, and there are others run by opportunists who couldn't make it in bigger cities. One has to beware and trust one's gut. If you are not careful, you will get sucked into someone's personal little kingdom. There are a couple of megachurches I would advise you to avoid.

The Lord's of Bakersfield is and older name, for the mafia here, it's actually called the Okie Mafia now, I was beaten, chased hunted, rights violated, unjustly sent to prison, oh and all my hired attorneys because judges, must pay to do favors, lots more to this, I am considering endangered, but they had there chance. Judge Frank Hoover told me that they where going to kill me, there's much more, they know I am extremely careful, BPD works for them and most every judge, d.a. and business men. You have to follow the money just like any mafia, it's all about the contracts. So they say you can't be a politician in Kern county unless you are apart of there mafia, I wonder abour Kevin Mccarthy, here's the deal, tell me 10 associates of his and I can put you on a path that would be truthful.
