All these allegations re: Bob Minton via Pat Greenway or some silent
"deep throat" person offering 250K is disturbing for sure. Accusations
that somehow I have first hand knowledge of this via e-mails from Tigger
is even more disturbing - ridiculous! I don't know squat on this
subject. But if there is proof that Deana and Tigger were bribed to be
"hushed", I think it should be posted, or stop with the silliness of
hearsay and conjecture. It's very damaging to ALL parties and not
necessary in light of the bigger picture.
BUT, I wanted to share (again) my first hand knowledge of coercion, intimidation and bribes, in an attempt to silence a critic/activist.....
On August 22, 2000, I was in a judge's chambers in an orange prison jump suit with handcuffs and leg shackles after being in a insect infested county jail cell for 2 weeks with real felons. I did not have a private attorney at the time. In the room was myself, the judge, the prosecutor, and an assigned public defender who sadly was terribly politically compromised.
I was made the following offer, actually an ultimatum: "Come up with $50,000, get off the internet re: $cn, stop talking to the press re: $cn, stop talking to your kids re: the Co$, and in exchange we'll let you go free with a misdemeanor conviction, and we'll let you see your children once in awhile." OR...we'll march you out in Court and convict and sentence you to 5 years in prison." Not a great choice indeed. This was the ultimate test of my will and integrity. My life as I once new it, was gone. I was in a weird episode of "The Twilight Zone."
We finally chose option B. and we would appeal it. We did and we won. BUT, I will NEVER forget this event - NEVER. It was and still is very frightening. Now there is a new arrest warrant out for me to return to that very same jurisdiction. The same thing is going to happen all over again. This time I believe THEY are going to be even rougher.
This IS my ONLY "first hand" knowledge of hushing and silencing efforts for the record.
For this reason, I support Keith's being in Canada for now, and I can not support "Bob Bashing" because ALL the facts are NOT out yet, and may never be. What they (the cult) have on him must be HUGE to have actuated this God awfull "mess" in the Lisa M. case IMPO.
FYI and Btw,
