MarkBennett 5 #49351 July 28, 2014 RobertMBlevinsQuote'Either way, it's not appropriate here...' (political and/or off-topic posts) I'll remind you of that the next time someone: 1) Talks about their ongoing health problems. 2) Discusses their Hawkins .50 cal. 3) Brings up another insult with my name attached to it in the subject header. 4) Talks about Mucklow and sex crap. Etc. Never said who I voted for, only that I asked the question and it was a question subbed to the general public, not Democrats. Truth was no one could really think of too many answers to the question, which I found sort of amusing. I liked Laura Bush's book. Did say that. I don't judge people on whether they are Democrat, Republican, or an independent. That's their business. I'll admit that true discussion on Cooper is sometimes a bit lacking around here, though. Fair enough. But, bringing up other inappropriate posts does not make your political posts appropriate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyjack71 0 #49352 July 28, 2014 With Blevins always on the defense and all of Bruce's nonsense....this thread has become NON productive. If Sailshaw &Bruce want to talk to "THE MAN" then they should go ahead & do it....BESURE you make an appt. The last thing you guys want to do is upset him if he is flying that day....by POPPING in on him... Betcha he gives you a big old spin & gets you no where (just confused). My take on THE MAN is he loves a good JOKE & NOT beyond pulling a good one. I like the MAN! He knows when to hold them and when to fold them and he knows how to play a Bluff. Sailshaw might get some place on his own - but, IF HE TAKES Bruce, the interview will probably end before it begins. He has been the NICEST person I have met over the phone in my 17 yr venture.... The man he befriended was the man who tried to contact me after Margie Boule interviewed me. The man claimed to know who Cooper was, but did NOT want to be accused of commiting the crime so he ask for immunity as a john doe which the State of WA told him he would have to take it to DC. He died in 2004 if my memory serves me. Since the name I got match the name Duane talked about knowing - I never had a doubt after that day...Absolutely no doubt. I was never able to chase the origins or background of the man - bu,t betcha DEAD on it co-incides with the history of Weber at more than ONE point. I spoke to the FBI but they NEVER call me back & I never knew if they even got the information or are concerned about who Cooper was. {red]377: What is the statue on someone coming forward without having to spend their retirement and life trying to prove that he himself was not Cooper? The information could be 1. A suspect was recognized as having chute experience from a new article. or 2. He knew the man - and the man contacted him asking for help after the crime. or 3. The crime was commited by a group and it was a set-up. or 4. The man contacted him for help after the crime. or 5. He recognized the man in the newspaper as some one who approached him for help. or 6.Or he knew that suspect from the 1940's or 50's or the 60's & could put him in a chute. These ORs could go on and on, but the man took it to the GRAVE with him - BECAUSE the State of WA would not give him immunity. Mr. H was supposedly involved in the effort to obtain immunity for the John Doe. I have posted the attorneys involved in this thread and the story, but I do NOT remember where it was and all of the details. My search capabilities with in the thread content are deplorable. Would someone find that post and repost it so I can refine it if need be or clarify it if need be. I basically need the DATE I made the post... WHY did the FBI not check it out.

Our interview could get wild with questions like this and I'm not sure Sail is up for it, let alone some right-wing, gun totin' wing-nut who likes telling stories.

377 22 #49355 July 28, 2014 Coleman Francis can hold his own with any bad movie directors. His movie "The Skydivers" is just atrociously bad. Bad acting, plotless, bad cinematography, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Skydivers There is some skydiving footage including an eerie and poorly shot night/evening exit from a Twin Beech shot from another plane flying alongside. Of course the movie so bad that it's cool, like "The Room" I imagine. I'll see if I can rent The Room. Welcome Sveddy. Nice to have another jumper on this forum. 3772018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skyjack71 0 #49357 July 28, 2014 Do YOU know how to read! I said NOTHING that could be interperted the way you stated it. NOTHNG AT ALL. Do YOU know how to READ? A man came forward to me trying to contact me...he was NOT Cooper and there is NO indications he claimed he was - just had knowledge of the before or after - the specific context of what he had to offer was never given as he could not get immunity. He wanted to be sure they would not try to accuse him of the crime...and cause hardships for himself and his family. NO one knows what he had to offer - because the FBI and the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT and the STATE of WA would NOT assist him. He stayed anonomous. Margie had an email and we discounted it...it was believed this man was the same man who tried to get immunity. He died in 2004 but I do not have the obit. Duane had told me about knowing this man. NONE of that makes any of the OUTRAGEOUS claims you retorted with....SEE what I mean you are nothing, but a fraud. You wouldn't know the truths if someone gave them to you on a silver patter. Never mispresent my words again. That is your problem you are a elusionalist who is only after sensationalism and you do not care who you harm... You are UNABLE to process information in a correct and reasonable way. YOU put YOUR OWN sick perverted words into anything anyone states or says to you. YOU are are the worse of the worse when it comes to understanding anything and deliberately misrepresenting anything anyone says to you. I am on my way to the ER again and your HORRID dellusional mind creates thing not intended nor stated. YOU are the last thing I need to confront today... As you know I only have dial-up and I have to get off the line waiting for the Drs. to call me back! You can take your perverted opinions and writings to hell with you because you are a demon. You do not and never will comprehend the depths & sacrifice other have me ... then you feed off them draining every ounce of life out of them - for you OWN perverted purposes.

Robert99 In like manner the character of Cooper is still up for grabs. Novice, hack, protester, CIA super operative, washout astronaut, supervisor in the rare metals nuclear industry who shopped Penny's, penurious casino investor who brought his lunch on board in a brown paper bag ... but, he wasn't some Dane Viking from Minni'tho-ta because the haplotype is wrong - whatever a haplotype and Mitochondrial (mtDNA or mDNA) partial profile are! Quitre obviously, Cooper was an Eskimow from Manitoba, which I have always maintained and some day soon my wisdom will be vindicated in aces. Look for Cooper twenties at Ubik on the North Shore! Cooper was an Ice Road Trucker! And Mike at Antique Archaeology will be at Ubik looking for Cooper twenties, in the next episode! Read it and weep, Jo Weber!

skyjack71 0 #49362 July 29, 2014 Quote I really do think Carr missed the boat not asking the public to look for Cooper twenties in every basement, attic, and cranny in America! Just imagine the possible outcomes of that! Yea, there would be a lot of clean attics and basements and the landfills would be full.I know that one bill went into circulation sometime between 1995 and 1996. How do I know that? WELL, I am stupid that is why! My cash was low and note this was BEFORE I knew anything about Cooper...inside of Symba (he was a bank that looked just like our dog Symba) was a neatly folded 20 dollar bill....folded in to a tiny square w/the ends tucked tightly. I tried to live on a budget, but I really needed to be around people that week-end and so I went to the local piano bar with that 20 dollar bill... I played with it for a long time and kept thinking I should put that 20 back in the bank, I had used my other cash for a drink and enjoyed the music and really didn't want to go home. I sat there and twisted it into a ring...remembering making rings out of currency...as a teenager? That bill had something written on it in RED ink...but I paid it no mind. When Duane talked to Symba about we would never be broke because he had a 50 bill I took it as a joke...But, what an odd thing to say to a dog. He only started saying that toward the end. NOTE Duane always said a "50" bill and not a 20. I did not think about that when I found that 20 in the bank other than how odd! It had something written on it in red ball point that meant NOTHING to me. I was bored and had not started dating - I just wanted to hear the music - Oldies but Goldies. I would sit there and remember the times Duane used to get up and sing in a Piano Bar...You'll Never Know,i f you Don't know Now how much I love you. I will forever hear that song inside of my head and Duane's voice as he sang it...gestering with his hands and looking directly into my eyes - he sang to me and not the audience - other songs were stage center and to the audience. The first time he sang that song to me was on our wedding night...they had a 10 to 12 piece band at this place in Denver. Duane had excused himself leaving me with our wedding witnesses,..and telling me he knew someone in the band. They were just finishing a song. Then the director come out and tells everyone we have a special treat - and anounce the singer...Duane. When he comes on stage I am in a state of shock - we had been together for several months, but I had NO IDEA he could sing. I will never forget the professional stage presence he made that night - like he did it everynight of his life. Before the song is over he comes off stage with the mike in his hand while not missing a note as he takes my hand and sings directly to me...then escorting me to the stage. NEVER in my life had I ever experienced anything like that...I was one who hid in the background..in those days I was considered tall. Wrapping up on bended knee he publically professed his love for me annoucing we had just got married.Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get ahold of Bruce Smith and arrange to meet me at the Auburn Days shindig on Saturday, August 9th. I'm taking a few more people with me, so that we can all confront Blevins first hand. We have a surprise guest for Blevins too. It WILL be good. Coopsnoop • Full Member • • Posts: 106 Re: Suspects And Confessions « Reply #349 on: Today at 08:19:06 PM » ha.......thanks for the private message, Shutter. No, I'm not kidding about going to Auburn. Actually I can't wait. And the surprise guest........no, it's not Skipp. I'll be visiting him soon though. The surprise guest? OK, his initials are BG. Gotta go. See you guys in Auburn at the THEATER, or wherever he'll be hiding out. These posts have been forwarded to the Festival Director, Connie Henke. SHE is forwarding them to the mayor and the Auburn Police Department. Why? Because the annual Adventures in Literature is a public event put on by not only the Festival Committee, but the City of Auburn itself. And they don't want anyone coming down to pull shit off at the theater, trying to ruin the event for the other authors. Anyone causing a disturbance at the theater will be arrested by Auburn Police. I am not AT the theater to do Cooper, my friends. It is not ABOUT Cooper. It is about family fun, a book swap, poetry and a literary weekend. If Galen Cook or Bruce Smith or Sailshaw sticks their fucking noses into the theater and do anything but be regular attendees like everyone else, they will find themselves in an instant world of shit. This I guarantee. Connie is angry and so am I. And when Nancy (the mayor) hears about this she will not be happy either. I have provided Connie and APD with Galen Cook's basic contact info, the screenshot, and the text of the postings. (He's a lawyer so his info was easy enough. Anything you need to know about him can be found at the Washington State Bar website.) All three of you guys are welcome to attend Auburn Days. You are welcome to attend the theater events. You start interrupting the proceedings and you'll be dealt with. Not by me, but the cops. I have no comment at this time about our investigation into Kenny Christiansen and no desire to speak to any of you at the theater or at the festival. You got questions? Do like others do and email or use the damn phone. As far as I'm concerned, if Sailshaw and Bruce Smith actually agreed to do what Cook suggests above, then all three of you are nothing more than lowlife sneaks. You can quote me on that. I got enough on my plate this week without having to read juvenile garbage like Cook's little plan to storm the theater. I just heard today that my good friend Gerald McBreen, Poet Laureate of Pacific, WA and the guy who runs the Sunday poetry events, had a heart attack. He won't make the festival. He's having a bypass. Then I see this kiddie crap from Cook. Just what I need. Sorry you brought this up! Is there a train out of Auburn? You could leave at 3:05pm on 8-9-14. Or you could jump in old "Subi" and run. Keep in mind Blevins! There is no law against ordinary citizens of the United States going to Auburn, Washington. You and Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan don't run the town! Be sure to pass out photos of all people you suspect of "citizenship in the United States" and we shall see firsthand who runs and rules Auburn, Washington: you and Princess Leia Organa or Wage Earner Sheeple! If we "Sheeple" get there and you have flown the coop _ well we will hold a press conference. After all Auburn WA is the hometown of "Blast - The True Story of DB Cooper" and MAAD, according to you! The common issue is public safety and sanity! You did make an effort to correct the MAAD part, but you have yet to retract the "Blast - The True Story of DB Cooper" part! Fun and Truth will be had by all in a SAFE ENVIRONMENT despite the efforts of a few to disrupt civilisation in behalf of their books and internet columns!

skyjack71 0 #49364 July 29, 2014 Public Function and if someone is speaking about Cooper not much you can do especially if it IS one of the individuals you have written about. Cook is full of you know what. Yes he may have & I hope he has contacted BG & it would be interesting find what he has to say about your book. I seriously doubt they will storm the event and if Galen is actually a licensed attorney - he knows he CANNOT do that. If BG arrives at an event and stands up politely to ask questions or simply wants to Object to any misrepresentation - that is his right. Serious doubt GC would arrive at a scheduled event - to dispute anything anyone writes about Cooper. BG can arrive any scheduled event that is about Cooper or your book. Geestman CAN ask to have access to the FLOOR because you did write about him...I think 377 will back me up on this. Blevins if you did STRETCH the truth and he objects to that - not much you can do. NO one can storm anything and if GALEN participates in something like he is describing - well, I do NOT think he will be an attorney much longer. His action when he came to this thread and his actions on the other thread - toward me are very unethcal. HE was saying some VERY bad things about me in a public site - and the FBI was sent COPIES of every one of them. I expect if another complaint against Cook representing himself as being the left hand of the FBI happens then the FBI will put a stop to it. To allow a renegade attorney to make the the slanderous remark he has stated publically about a witness (proven or disproven) in any crime outside the boundaries of a court room - is SLANDEROUS. He is an attorney and there are certain ways they are supposed to conduct themselves. Storming an event will get him put in jail and disbarred.,,,using STORM is the same as saying they will riot. You ARE awared of the things he stated about me...things that created a serious problem for me...although it was remedied it took my time and lot of bad days to make it go away....but, he left a mark on my life that can never be erased... HE does NOT have the access to the FBI he has claimed - just know that!Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

georger 244 #49366 July 29, 2014 RobertMBlevins Georger: I didn't say those guys couldn't attend. I said they would get into trouble if they disturbed the literary event. Stop bs'ing me anyway. I have full access to the other site now. I've seen ALL the posts. ALL OF THEM. I have nothing further to talk about with you, or a few others I can think of. I can appreciate you guys going page after page with Blevins this and that (actually I was sort of flattered you would discuss me on BOTH sites) but your buddy Cook is full of it. Not a straight word has come out of his mouth about the relationship between Skipp Porteous and myself. Look...I don't give a shit if you guys go around about KC all day over there. That's fine. But haven't any of you enough common sense to at least question Cook about his ridiculous claims? I thought you guys were all about the truth. Skipp Porteous is just fine with what's going on concerning the book and the screenplay. He has been occasionally impatient over the years because he thought Blast would sell a thousand copies a month. I told him...no one gets rich from doing Cooper. But we get along fine. He wants Gayla and I to fly down to his house in California and stay in the guest room. He knows Tina and I (not THAT Tina) are wrapping the screenplay on Kenny's life and we will shop it around soon. And through an AAR agent, which means there's a chance for a sale. He owns a third of that, and half of the book. I have chided him occasionally about not defending his book better on the internet, or at least our current results on Kenny. He says he's seen Dropzone and he just won't get involved. I think he doesn't care much about Cooper anymore. Frankly, neither do I. Especially when I see people telling outright lies about me on other sites. Or the most insulting shit imaginable pouring from their keyboards HERE. I told you the truth all along about something: We're going to wrap up the investigation on KC once and for all within a few months, finalize the report, (there are EXTENSIVE changes and additions to it) and move on. The report will not prove Kenny was the hijacker. It will only present the most accurate information about him. Using that, it will be possible to either (as I said before) confirm him as Cooper, or eliminate him for good. At this point, I don't know which way it will go. EDIT: I saw a lot of postings about the relationship between Gray and Porteous. The truth is, there never was much of a relationship there. If you remember, the Gray article covered a lot more interviews than just Porteous. Remember? Gray interviewed a bunch of people. After the article came out, Porteous cut Gray from the information loop and started investigating Christiansen privately. He wouldn't tell Gray anything about what he found. Because he was also working on a book...and he knew Gray was doing the same thing. And Porteous did not tell me this was the case. I found out from Gray at the book signing. As far as Gray telling you he doesn't like me, well...whatever. I only met the guy the one time in 2011 at a book signing and he was real nice. So I don't know what to say to that. And then I gave him everything we had on KC up to that point on a flash drive. Files, pictures, everything, even the book. Jo says in part: Quote 'BG can arrive any scheduled event that is about Cooper or you book. Geestman CAN ask to have access to the FLOOR because you did write about him...I think 377 will back me up on this.' Jo, all the speakers are scheduled in advance. There is no 'open mic' thing except on Sunday for poetry only. Anyone can attend from the public either day, but it isn't about Cooper. I'm not even reading from Blast or discussing Kenny at all. I'm reading from my books Memoir and one of my sci-fi novels. It is totally NON-Cooper. No one is going to put up with Cooper Duds trying to disturb the readings. The cops will just do like they do with anyone else who causes trouble at the festival, or any festival for that matter. They'll either be asked to leave or arrested. After the 2010 fiasco where somebody called in a stupid death threat with my name on it just because I was doing a slideshow on KC, the festival committee has no patience. Connie (festival director) was very angry when she saw Cook's postings. I can say safely that if anyone is truly dumb enough to show up and try to use the event to somehow make it into a Cooper event, all that will happen is that they will need to arrange bail. The cops were pissed at the 2010 thing, and this garbage by Cook would be all they need to show they mean business. You have to understand something. No one liked having to post a cop at the theater that year. It was embarrassing for everyone even though we all knew the call was just a stunt. But now here we are with ANOTHER Cooper thing related to the theater. But this time there are names attached to it. I would suggest if you attend you behave yourselves. I'm not there to talk about Cooper anyway. You want an interview, set one up for later. I am very busy that weekend doing the Book Swap, my own readings, shooting video, dealing with supplying the snacks and drinks to Gayla and other stuff. I don't care if any Cooper fans show up, that's fine its a public event, but leave your Cooper Hat at the door and stay out of my frickin' way. It isn't ABOUT Cooper. "BLAST! - The True Story of D.B. Cooper" by Skipp Porteous and Robert M. Blevins. The True Story of D.B. Cooper (revised_many times) The True Revised Revised Revised Revised Story of ... something? Blevins.

BruceSmith 3 #49367 July 29, 2014 Update on A-Burn Days- Wow, I didn't know we were storming the beaches up at A-Burn. I thought we were going out for a beer with Bernie. Too bad Skippy's not gonna be there. What happened with that? Oh, well. But Sail and I can plan our trip later in the month to Oregon and RH to talk about Cossey and Petey. Oops. There are two RHs in Oregon. I guess we should call this one RH II and the other RH, the one with the moat and forty acres, RH I. Galen says that Alice may be in A-Burn, too, and that I still have a shot at getting a date with her. Could be a big weekend. Bobby, if the A-Brun cops need more head shots of me, just let me know and I'll send more up to them. You sound busy.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BruceSmith 3 #49368 July 29, 2014 skyjack71Well, I don't. So will have to ask my friend in PC to update me.. So maybe they are talking bad about JO now. Perhaps who ever they are bashing is the person out... Frankly I consider myself lucky just to be able to post here....but, of recent not anything new...so I think I will take some time off....I am pretty tired lately. I had hoped the FBI would finally do the right thing, but I expect they will wait unit it is too late for me to say - I told you so! Good night really very very tired this has been an exhausting 3 wks...I think I need a hug. Good night, Jo. XOXOXO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
georger 244 #49369 July 30, 2014 RobertMBlevins Bruce Smith says in part: Quote 'Bobby, if the A-Brun cops need more head shots of me, just let me know and I'll send more up to them. You sound busy....' I will say this to you one last time. You and anyone else, including Cook and Sailshaw, are more than welcome to attend Auburn Days and the Adventures in Literature event at the Ave. But it's also a PUBLIC event, run by the City of Auburn and the festival committee. This means you can't disturb the proceedings. To tell you the truth, I doubt highly you would do this anyway. As far as Cook's tall tales about the relationship between Skipp Porteous and myself, and his Occupy Theater plan where you were invited...that is a different story. I know you and Cook are friends. The difference between us is that I would not support lies by a friend, just because those lies might happen to be about someone I didn't like personally. This type of support goes to character. I wondered today what might cause Cook, a guy I've never met or spoken to, or even exchanged posts on an internet site with...would do and say those things. He's made extensive postings about me at the alternate site, mostly outright lies. Then it came to me. He probably doesn't like his entry that appears in Into The Blast. Here it is: ***'The third main suspect in the case, and the highest-profile one, is a man named William Gossett. According to Spokane, Washington attorney Galen Cook, Gossett is the strongest suspect to date. Cook has been featured on radio and television, and has been investigating William Gossett and the hijacking for several years. He is working on a book and involved in an active investigation with the Gossett family. However, Cook once claimed that he could locate the hijack ransom in a bank safety deposit box in British Columbia, but a trip up there produced nothing. Cook’s evidence linking Gossett to the hijacking is very thin. One reason is because most of it comes via Gossett’s children, who possibly stand to gain if their late father is named as the hijacker. One serious flaw in the Gossett theory is Gossett’s appearance in a picture taken at his military retirement ceremony at Fort Lewis, Washington a mere eighteen months after the hijacking. It shows an overweight man who looks little like the F.B.I. sketch. This conflicts with the pictures Galen Cook has offered up previously that supposedly resemble the famous sketch, but were taken years before the hijacking. In early 2010, Cook claimed to have a new witness, a woman he called ‘Janet’ who allegedly saw the hijacker standing on the airstairs of the hijacked jet and tossing flares into the Columbia River while it flew over Vancouver, Washington. This claim has been roundly discounted because of the altitude of the plane (9,600 feet) and that it was dark, raining, and the plane was flying above heavy cloud cover. In an article from May 22, 2010, Scott Schwebke of the Utah Standard-Examiner reported this story. Among other things, Cook speculates that the hijacker was probably ‘testing the wind direction’ with the flares before jumping. He adds that Gossett was known to be ‘obsessed with road flares’. The alleged witness ‘Janet’ also claimed to have written a letter to the Portland office of the F.B.I. soon afterward about what she had seen on the night of the hijacking. Two weeks after that, she says, a mysterious man dressed in black visited her home and told her to ‘shut the fuck up.’ Cook speculates further that the F.B.I. may have threatened ‘Janet’ because it would have drawn law enforcement resources away from the search that was going on up near Merwin Lake at the time. In this author’s opinion, the ‘Janet’ story should be taken with a grain of salt. In any case, Flight 305 co-pilot Bill Rataczak insists that the hijacker jumped from the plane not over the Columbia River, but further north. Cook has been a regular visitor on Coast-to-Coast AM Radio and other media in his efforts to convince the public that William Gossett was the hijacker. I leave readers to draw their own conclusions...' (Source: Pages 13-14 from Into The Blast.) As a known 'Cooper researcher' there is little doubt Cook saw this excerpt. And he simply didn't like it. Looks like motivation enough to me. EDIT: I just got an email from Skipp. I had told him about Cook's posts, and where he could see them. He said his computer was in the shop, but he used his smartphone to send a short message. He said he hasn't seen the website yet, but he did see the screenshots that I sent him earlier. He says he hasn't sent Cook anything by email in at least THREE YEARS. He also calls Cook a liar. I can post this email for disbelievers, but it will be tricky to just screenshot it for you. I also discussed the upcoming script with him and some of that information is sensitive. If people insist, I will figure out a way to do it though by blanking out a name or two. I mean...unless you have enough common sense to know already Cook was lying and don't actually need to see it. But like I said, I will provide it on request. Since Shutter has been requesting proof for a couple of weeks on whether Cook's been spinning whoppers on his website, there is an alternative method as well. I can screenshot three or four of the most recent emails from Porteous, ones that don't have sensitive info in them. These will easily show that Skipp and I get along just fine, thank you. It's too bad the people of the City of Auburn, Washington have to suffer on your behalf! Now I will click the SPAM button on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Among other things, Cook speculates that the hijacker was probably ‘testing the wind direction’ with the flares before jumping. R99 COMMENTS: I don't have the slightest idea if Cook speculated in any way about flares. But if Cooper actually did throw a flare out of the aircraft to 'test the wind direction', he would have found that it was blowing toward the rear of the aircraft at about 225 MPH. Blevins continues: QuoteIn any case, Flight 305 co-pilot Bill Rataczak insists that the hijacker jumped from the plane not over the Columbia River, but further north.(Source: Pages 13-14 from Into The Blast.) R99 COMMENTS: What is the actual source for this claim? You can't cite your own book as the source for the claim. When and where do you claim that Rataczak made this allegation and how can this source be verified? Blevins seems to be interested in expanding the cat fight between himself, Jo Weber, and Marla to include Cook. It's a "My candidate was Cooper and yours wasn't!" argument. In reality, none of the four candidates sponsored by the people mentioned in this post was Cooper. Robert99 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkBennett 5 #49371 July 30, 2014 RobertMBlevins Is someone going to stand up and tell me with a straight face that Galen Cook is serious? Well, if Cook has been pulling your leg to get a rise out of you and see what you'd do -- I think Cook won this one! RobertMBlevins I don't care if he drags old Bernie down with a server for a cease-and-desist, but my lawyer will probably insist Galen Cook not be the guy actually representing Geestman in an action. You know...we could sort of prove his motivations to do so might be slanted. (You think?) You can do that? Why didn't Marcia Clark and the rest of the OJ prosecution think of that?

skyjack71 0 #49372 July 30, 2014 Blevins - LET it go! Everyone with an ounce of sense knows that Cook shoots blanks. He is not worth the time anyone spends or devotes to a scam artist. Do NOT post screen shots from that site unless you ask for permission from the moderator on this site.. My understanding from when I did this is that it is NOT allowed. Just give everything a rest - the truth is coming out...don't bury yourself too deep into the KC theory either. LET it all HANG for just awhile... Did you ever get the indications Porteous was "steering" you. Think about Porteous and why he got that pic of KC and why he put the feeler out there - feelers you and I both responded to. I tried to tell you what I thought - but you kept diving into deeper waters. Hold on so you can take some pride in the clues you did stumble upon. Just chill for about 2 months.Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because they weren't trying to use the case as a media event to further their own purposes. That simply happened without them. They were trying to convict OJ. Well, you are right about one thing. If Cook was making jokes, and he wanted to get a rise out of me, yes...it worked. As if I was going to stand aside, say nothing, and let him trash a nice public event for his own selfish purposes. He can't be serious. He has no idea how many people know his name now, what he does, etc, and most importantly...how pissed off they are at him. And we don't even see the police until tomorrow. If that's what he wanted to accomplish, he succeeded. It's juvenile beyond belief, and completely unprofessional. The guy's an attorney for Chrissakes. He should know better. If he wants to serve me on something, he knows how to do that properly. This is nowhere near 'properly'. It's a stunt.

Cook has said he has plans to come with a camera crew (not allowed) and an audio crew (not allowed) to the theater during a public event simply to create a stunt.

You want to defend that type of behavior from a guy who is a member of the bar, go ahead and try. But few will listen. I'm not going to quote the source for you. Personally, I don't care whether you believe the Rataczak quote or not. But you might want to ask yourself whose imput they took into consideration before launching the search. Of course, there were others involved, but Rataczak was one of them as well. That's right. Claim Olly Olly Oxen Free. It wasn't ME! I didn't DO ANYTHING! I haven't SAID anything! You have the wrong guy... They all say it. You're no exception. It is YOU the whole City of Auburn is having to defend, according to your version. ! Galen Cook hasn't done anything - yet! You floated the same warning with Bruce and others. How much more of your bullshit is the City of Auburn WA going to put up with? I mean these people aren't morons and "wage earner sheeple" (your words) ! Is the City of Auburn going to pay your personal legal bills - huh? Better claim: Olly Olly Oxen Free and then STF Up!

skyjack71 0 #49374 July 30, 2014 Quote Unless you go really crazy and start copying entire pages of postings, it's mostly Fair Use, especially single posts by a single individual to prove a point. Sorry, Jo. Not sure why that was sent to me. NOW for some REAL news! John Dean (I guess you guys know who he is) has a NEW book coming out THE Nixon Defense. John lost his law license in all of that many yrs ago....but, now is redemption time! HOW the wheels turn! AS some of you know or do not know John Dean disclosed the Watergate tapes and was instrumental in the resignation of Nixon. Did Duane know Liddy and Hunt? Was Duane a snitch? Is JO just ranting? Why have the tapes been concealed? Why are they now being written about? Dirty Politics!A little something for you guys to discuss and maybe the discussion will actually take you back to the dirty politics of the 60's and 70's. Especially Watergate. Duane knew Bernie and I actually met Bernie, but did NOT know who he was until his death when I saw the OBIT. Why would JO be at an event that Bernie attended? Why would Weber be at an event Bernie attended? HOW are these guys connected...and we are also talking about Bernie's side kick the big tall guy...I met him also! Remember the accident in 2000 after my calls to Miami and Ft. Lauderdale? I do NOT want to repeat that...other than to say it was a MIRACLE I survived - 3 inches saved my life and I bear and live with the scars from that accident everyday of my life. The worse is the continued disfigurement of my left eye...which is very droopy and requires splinting to see the computer and to read and to drive...Reading (my favorite thing) is very difficult for me...Splinting allow the eye to dry out & it feels like sand paper not to mention that I look like a freak as the day wears on. NO it cannot be FIXED...as that might make the situation worse and I would not be able to close the eye at all.Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You simply don't have a source in the first place. As has been repeatedly pointed out by the flight crew members themselves, they didn't know WHEN Cooper jumped. That also means that they didn't know WHERE Cooper jumped. Your quote fabrications are simply a desperate attempt to keep KC as a possible Cooper candidate. And KC is just not a valid candidate.
