Problems with Mark Richards' SSP testimony to Kerry Cassidy

An important addendum to this entire thread, at geofffxdwg's (Geoff Reed's) request.

From this post of his, written on 8 April 2019:

I have asked Kevin Moore to remove my name from the documentary. I don't like the direction it has apparently taken. I don't condone or even like CW Chanter and strongly objected to him being on our documentary.

He didn't even know anything about the case until two weeks ago. This is not some sort of ploy. I want nothing to do with the mudslinging, lies and online harassment Chanter has been engaged in to gain self notoriety.

Kevin [Moore] apparently now supports this behavior but I clearly do not. I don't want my name associated with any of it anymore.

Myself and my family have been through enough these past months and this documentary and what is now happening is not in my best interests at all.

I have become a somewhat humbled and changed person after that horrible Paradise fire. It has had a very profound effect on my life and the lives of my two very young daughters.

What started out as a classy documentary based on documented actual facts, interviews with actual witnesses and excellent footage of where these events happened has turned into an ugly mudslinging match I no longer want any part of.

I was supposed to meet up with Kevin this Sunday to finish filming some new rather startling interviews. Sunday came and went and no contact with Kevin.

Crossian Hoover (Richards's crime partner and co-defendant) has been diagnosed with liver cancer and will likely die in prison very soon. I feel bad for the guy because he never stood a chance once he hooked up with Mark Richards.

My main reason for leaving the documentary is based solely on CW Chanter being on it and the mudslinging it has turned in to. I realize now it was never my documentary even though I had been trying to get this made for 5 years and Kevin kept saying it was my documentary. I even sent Kevin a lot of money to help out. I am now regretting everything.

I am going to start uploading recorded phone calls Kevin made with witnesses and other people associated with the case on one of 3 You Tube channels I have. Basically they are phone calls Kevin recorded without the other person's knowledge but they do explain a lot about the case and the life of Mark Richards and who he really is.

I have not decided which you tube channel yet. Once I upload them I will post them here if anyone is interested in Mark Richards's actual life as a career criminal and his deeply disturbing personal life. I have literally over a thousand hours of very hard work invested in this project and at this point I feel not only lied to but conned by Kevin Moore.

I am not about to let CW Chanter take credit for all of my hard work by grandstanding using information he was updated on only two weeks ago by Kevin Moore before he interviewed him. I have been deeply betrayed and at this point I just want all of this behind me. I thank all of you for your understanding

Sincerely Geoff Reed.

This interview has my blood boiling. At one hour and 33 minutes into this interview Kevin mentions an email exchange he and I had a couple of years earlier when he interviewed Jo Ann Richards. My blood boils whenever I see anyone putting the evil despicable psychotic murder Mark Richards on a pedestal.

Kerry, without knowing me and never meeting me, and not reading the email exchange Kevin and I had years earlier, Calls me a C.I.A agent, working for the dark side, Easily influenced and what ever else BS she can spew. David Wilcock calls anyone that disagrees with him a hater. Kerry calls them CIA agents. Apparently all the minors and countless others involved in this case are also CIA agents.

Well I am here to tell all of you that I knew Richard A. Baldwin's son. For those of you that don't know the real truth Mark Richards (age 29) and Crossan Hoover (age 17) brutally murdered Richard Baldwin by bashing his head in with a baseball bat, then stabbing him 11 times throughout the heart with a knife, then stabbing him many more times with a screwdriver. This is the most irresponsible so-called journalism I have ever seen. Whats worse is Kerry keeps on plugging it like Richards is some kind of patriot or god set up and framed by at least 100 people. Its disgusting and shallow and way worse than anything I have seen come out of Gaia.

Kevin and I had another heated email exchange. Then we talked on the phone. He had no idea of the real back story and truth in this case. He then asked me if he could interview me over the phone. I agreed and 10 minutes into the interview it really shook him up and he thought it was better to interview me in person. He drove 9 hours from L.A. to my home in northern California to do the interview. We talked about a lot of things off camera.

I discovered Kevin has a heart of gold and what Kerry was portraying inmate Mark Richards as was not only tasteless and without class, but was hurting ufology as bad as Corey Goode, David Wilcock, Emery Smith and the whole Gaia 3 ring wombat circus. Kevin is not at all like he portrays himself in interviews other than he is polite as polite can get.

This all happened about 3 weeks ago. We both decided out of common courtesy to let Kerry know about the interview before it was released. Kevin called her when they were both in the UK. Kerry asked if she could record the phone call so she can pass it on to her friends. Kevin agreed and I heard the phone call. Kerry again called me C.I.A and compared my emotional involvement in the case to the Ku Klux Klan. She went crazy. Lets just say the defecation hit the rotating oscillator in a big way. It went on for 45 minutes.

There were lots of new developments since and now Kevin is making a documentary about Mark Richards. Hopefully it will be finished in December. It will be supported by documented facts and witnesses. Many people directly involved in the case have passed away because this all happened almost 37 years ago.

Like Kevin or not, thats your choice. From what I know about the man now. He has great integrity, a huge heart and he really cares. The documentary will be free and will be dedicated to the memory of Richard A. Baldwin. Rest in Paradise Mr. Baldwin. BTW I loved the Ralph Ring interviews and many others early Camelot videos.

Bill you are a great speaker. I'm sorry for my emotional comment to this thread but this mark Richards thing is going to shed a very dark light KC. She is well aware of the 27 plus links to the case. USA Today, ABC, San Francisco Chronicle and Examiner as well as the court documents and forensic evidence and eye witnesses placing Richards at the scene of the crime and the fact that my entire family grew up in San Rafael including my uncle who was a police officer in that town at the time. Now I live in the same town Ralph grew up in. Bill knows the place. Moved here from Mt Shasta. I'm getting too old for shoveling snow.

@Geoff

your comments about the Mark Richards interviews not only blew my mind but left me reeling-

but what would've been the motive behind the murder of Richard Baldwin (who was he?)- you stated neither motiv or who this person represented- please inform- would interest me and I assume all Avalonians greatly-

"I'm getting too old for shoveling snow"- you and me both, baby-

stay well-

Larry

I found two links.

Court of Appeal, First District, Division 1, California.
Mark RICHARDS, Petitioner, v. MARIN COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT, Respondent. PEOPLE of the State of California, Real Party in Interest.
AO 22029.
    Decided: August 22, 1983

Carl B. Shapiro, San Anselmo, Dennis P. Riordan, San Francisco, for petitioner. John K. Van De Kamp, Atty. Gen., Thomas A. Brady, Charles J. James, Deputy Attys. Gen., San Francisco, for real party in interest.

By his petition for writ of prohibition and/or writ of mandate, Mark Richards challenges three of four special circumstance allegations pleaded in an amended information filed against him in Marin County Superior Court.   Richards is charged with violations of sections 187 (murder), and 459 (burglary) of the Penal Code.1  Four special circumstances are alleged:  (1) murder for financial gain (§§ 190.2, subd. (a)(1), and 190.2, subd. (b));  (2) murder while lying in wait (§§ 190.2, subd. (a)(15), and 190.2, subd. (b));  (3) murder during the commission of burglary (§§ 190.2, subd. (a)(17)(vii), and 190.2, subd. (b));  and (4) murder during the commission of a separate burglary (§ 190.2, subd. (a)(17)(vii), and subd. (b)).2

Following denial of his section 995 motion, Richards sought timely relief from this court (§ 999a).   He challenges only the lying in wait and burglary special circumstance allegations.

We issued a stay of petitioner's trial and an alternative writ in order to review the issues raised by the petition.

As will be seen, we agree that the evidence presented at the preliminary hearing and reasonable inferences therefrom will not support the allegation that the murder was committed “while lying in wait,” and we issue our writ accordingly.   In all other respects, however, the petition is denied.

A review of the factual context as presented at the preliminary hearing shows the following.

The victim, Richard Baldwin, was an acquaintance of both petitioner and his accomplices, Crossan Hoover and Andrew Campbell.   Campbell, who was 17 at the time of the preliminary hearing, worked for petitioner in the latter's construction business.   In early July of 1982, Campbell and Richards were working at Baldwin's home, adding on to the garage.   Approximately three weeks prior to the day Baldwin was killed, Campbell first learned from Richards of the latter's plans for the murder.   The subject arose between Richards and Campbell on more than one occasion and, around the first of July, Richards allegedly became more specific.   Richards explained that Baldwin owed him money and that he had thought of killing him previously.   His plan, as presented to Campbell and Hoover, was this:  The three would go to Baldwin's house to work;  Campbell would stay at the house to keep it open, while Richards and Hoover would entice Baldwin to the latter's garage-shop, where they would lure him out of sight and kill him with a convenient heavy object.   Meanwhile, if the opportunity presented itself, Campbell was to go into the house and inventory it for items to sell at a later date.   Richards promised Campbell $2,000 for staying at the house and Hoover $5,000 for assisting in the actual killing.   Further, Richards promised that the three would split Baldwin's possessions equally, and told Campbell Baldwin owned many cars which they could sell, along with machinery and tools from the shop.

Richards' plan, as presented to Campbell and Hoover, was apparently not of recent origin.   In May of 1982, he allegedly approached another of his construction employees, William Robles, about killing Baldwin, telling Robles he was going broke and needed money fast, that Baldwin kept all of his money with him at home, and, in addition, had many cars at his garage, including a Rolls Royce, all of which could be sold.   Robles told petitioner he would think about it, but joined the Navy in late June, disappearing from the scenario.

One Thomas Mills went to Baldwin's home to visit him on the morning of July 6, 1982, and while there saw Richards, Hoover and Campbell.   When the three returned from a lunch break, Mills was about to leave.   During their lunch break, according to Campbell's testimony, the trio discussed their murder plan, and agreed on certain refinements.   Thus, upon their return, they planned to talk with Baldwin “calming him down,” and to inquire whether he had plans for the week of his murder, lest he be missed and suspicion aroused.   If Baldwin had no plans, Richards and Hoover would persuade him to take them to his shop on the pretext that some of Richards' tools were there, while Hoover would indicate interest in seeing some of Baldwin's old cars.   Richards told Hoover to use any heavy instrument he could find in the shop to kill Baldwin.   Richards did not want to use a gun as it would make noise and leave traceable bullets, nor a knife, being fearful it might not kill Baldwin cleanly.

Richards v. Superior Court (People) (1983)
[No. AO22029. Court of Appeals of California, First Appellate District, Division One. August 22, 1983.]

MARK RICHARDS, Petitioner, v. THE SUPERIOR COURT OF MARIN COUNTY, Respondent; THE PEOPLE, Real Party in Interest.

Thank you Larry very very much. Here is some information from one link. Its a very complicated case. This should give you some idea. I can send you many more links if you like. "At 7 a.m. on Friday, July 16, investigators from the police forces of San Rafael and San Anselmo and the Marin County sheriff's department arrested Mark Richards, aged twenty nine, and two seventeen-year-old boys as they were leaving Richards's house in Sleepy Hollow in a pickup truck.

Richards, a friend of Baldwin, was a home-renovation contractor, and his two companions, Crossan David Hoover and a youth named Andrew, were employees. The detective team had been led to the scene of the arrests by Hoover's loose talk: fellow workers had heard "Crossie" boast that, in Richard's presence, he had clubbed and stabbed Baldwin to death at the auto shop on July 6.

The police believed that the murder conspirators had taken Baldwin's house-keys from the shop and used them to burglarize his residence of several guns, a plastic trash-bag full of marijuana, and a safe. The marijuana and some guns were recovered on Friday in searches of the homes of Richards and the two boys, but the safe was not yet found.

After being taken into custody, Hoover kept talking. In a ninety-minute confession, he told the police that his employer had planned the killing; the contractor had told him that his business was "hurting for money" and claimed that Baldwin owed him $3000. Hoover had agreed to the murder when Richards promised him $5000 and a car. In admitting that this offer persuaded him, the young man candidly revealed that his only regret was poor planning.

I've been stupid. I should have gotten the cash before so I could have taken off for Brazil or someplace. . . . I didn't want to hurt the man. It was the money; all I wanted was the $5000 and the car. Richards got my mind so psyched up that I freaked out. . . . I did it all . . . Just put me away.

At the time of the murder, Richards, Hoover and Andrew were remodeling Baldwin's home. Hoover said that Richards and he had lured their victim to the auto shop on the pretext of looking at his inventory of classic cars. When Richards scratched his head as a prearranged signal, Hoover slugged Baldwin on the head with a baseball bat and hit him three more times after he fell; he then stabbed him with a knife and a screwdriver.

Afterwards, Richards and he returned to Baldwin's home, where Andrew had been standing guard, and removed the safe and other property. They then wrapped the body at the shop and used a boat Richards had just purchased to deliver it to what they vainly hoped would be a final resting place in the bay." Personally I don't see how Kerry Cassidy can sleep at night. Its one thing to make up a story and sensationalize it. WHY did she take such a horrible senseless tragedy for this purpose? A man was brutally murdered here. Kerry has her loyal followers (many with very good hearts and intentions) fawning all over her. I read her comments i.e. Thank you so much Kerry for risking your life for humanity, love and light, Thank you for all you do etc. None of them know the truth about this. people don't bother to look and won't bother because they believe and trust in Kerry. They actually think she has a good heart. This is as evil as it can get. Try this link for starters and thank you everyone for caring. There is a whole fiction fantasy here Mark Richards created. He didn't start writing his SSP fiction until 1997 and it was a gift for his grandchildren. http://murderpedia.org/male.H/h/hoov...ssan-david.htm

http://avalonlibrary.net/paula/smilies/write.gif geofffxdwg, in case people give a quick skim, I thought it best to separate out your final statement from the last paragraph.

Kerry has her loyal followers (many with very good hearts and intentions) fawning all over her. I read her comments i.e. 'Thank you so much Kerry for risking your life for humanity', 'love and light,' 'Thank you for all you do' etc. None of them know the truth about this.

@Geoff @RunningDeer

hi Geoff and Paula!

many, many great thanks for taking the time, effort and interest in answering my questions-

greatly appreciated! :-)

God, it will take me a long time to sift through all the muck!- what a complicated case! (as you, Geoff stated)- that's an understatement-

but what still has me completely baffled to no end is why Kerry Cassidy didn't do her homework on Mark Richards; if the two of you were able to discover this incredibly detailed background info at the drop of a dime why didn't she do same?- I'm speechless-

I don't have the answer-

anyway, Geoff, and you Paula (you RunningDEAR, you!- SWAK!) and all other Avalonians please continue to take care and stay well!

Larry :-)

When Kevin contacted Kerry on the phone a few weeks ago to inform her about releasing my interview she became very combative. She said she knew all about this case long before she ever started Camelot and always wanted to interview him and through her own investigating she concluded he was framed. She insists it was a false flag. She then started cursing saying he was off the f..king planet when the murder happened. Then she started that dominatrix crap steering the topic in totally whacked out directions. Kevin suggested she add links to the back story and she said she would never do that. "Thats not what I do" and "I am an investigative journalist uncovering the truth" She never said what her evidence was that made her believe he was framed.

Wow....just WOW!!

Thx for sharing Geoff.

Dave - Toronto

Some bullet points for this thread:

1) Mark Richards is a murderer

2) Kerry Cassidy is unstable

3) Nearly everything I write is brilliant, in just about every way.

4) Dave from Toronto's goatee is impeccably groomed.

Kerry Cassidy is still a member here, I believe. I challenge her to show up and attempt to dispute any of the above.

Let us not forget, she also vigorously defended Simon Parkes' sexual improprieties with his clients. And now a clear cut murderer. She's dangerous man.

Haha!! Hey, manscaping is important. And yes, Mike, you are very prolific.

Regarding Kerry, I've never quite understood her wanting to believe most anything she is told by others. In almost every interview of hers, I constantly see her referencing Mark Richards and I think to myself....if he's been behind bars for all these years then how the hell is he coming up with all this so called top secret info that he's feeding her?? And yes, she vigorously defends Simon Parkes to this day (I watched a recent interview of her and Simon 2 weeks ago). I'm still waiting for that devastating earthquake on the west coast that Simon said (and Kerry, and George Green) would happen prior to the US election 2 years ago. Back to Kerry though, while she does have an Avalon account, I doubt highly that she would try to defend Mark Richards (or Simon Parkes) here in our sandbox as she likely feels she's above that. And I still think the main reason she and Bill split was because she wanted to report everything as gospel/truth that people were saying while Bill wanted to pump the brakes and add some sort of skepticism/analysis before reporting to the public. Kerry jumped the shark (so to speak). Her loss, imo.

Dave - Toronto

When someone starts degrading someone else (Bill or anyone else) and talking about how they were reading "blah blah" at age "12" and touting that as wisdom, they are either intentionally acting deluded or are deluded. Her interview was very uncomfortable at best.

Integrity is what counts.

:hug::flower:

I do know some folks will be awaiting a comment from me here. Of course, I need to craft what I say with some compassion and care.

First, I'm not as well qualified to comment on Mark Richards' testimony as some might assume. I've never once corresponded with him or met him. This was 100% entirely Kerry's project, and of course she's been totally committed to that. To visit someone in prison to gather testimony and then work hard to report it all completely from memory, not once but a number times, is laudable journalism. (Guerrilla journalism, as Kerry likes to say. :) )

The problems arise when the testimony is extreme. As many know, Kerry and I also gathered testimony from Henry Deacon (real name Arthur Neumann), about some material that was just as incredible, but there were several differences with the case of Mark Richards.

We both spent time with 'Henry' (in my own case, literally hundreds of hours). He showed us hard-copy documents proving his employment and provenance, and we later visited the pub near his former place of work where we sat quietly in a corner and watched his former colleagues recognize and greet him in surprise. See also this post where I describe all this.

In my strong personal opinion, Henry was always the real deal. For those interested, his detailed video testimony is here. It's a little difficult and almost painful to watch, but this is what a real whistleblower sounds like. (Stressed, sometimes uncertain, anxious, and even conflicted.)

• http://avalonlibrary.net/Henry%20Dea...%20EXTRACT.mp4

Henry's case is also different — standing way above those of Andy Basiago, Corey Goode, Randy Cramer, Emery Smith, Mark Richards et al — inasmuch as in all these years he's never had one person counter him or contradict him by showing that he was mistaken or fraudulent, or that his claims cannot possibly be real. That really does count for something.

In fact, Henry himself has always distanced himself from these others, and has even expressed considerable anger at Andy Basiago (whose own claims are to some degree plagiarized from Henry's).

This case here, with Mark Richards, is serious, inasmuch as there really is strong evidence that Richards is lying or in some other way not telling the truth. That counts for something, too.

The position of the researcher with integrity is difficult and not always simple or comfortable. In this post of mine connected with another 'whistleblower' who was shown to have been at least partially fraudulent — Pete Peterson — I had to look deeply in the mirror and then make a statement that I now felt that none of his previous testimony — in Camelot's very detailed 2009 three part interview — could any more be safely relied on.

There's commitment to the truth, whatever it is, and commitment to a position, and/or to one's own ego. With the latter, I have in mind David Wilcock, of course, who (I'll say it straight) appears to be pathologically incapable of stating that he's ever got anything wrong, or that he's ever made an error of judgment.

That commitment to a fixed personal position is what's dangerous.

Because we're all human (I trust! :) ), this is always a potential vulnerability: to stick to and defend a strongly-stated thesis despite accumulating evidence that this may be an error. Even now, there are relatively few in the research field — ANY research field — who can comfortably do this.

But just because it's difficult or uncomfortable, doesn't mean that it's not VERY important to do.

In baseball you're an all star if you hit .300. That means you're getting hits only 30% of the time...and failing 70% of the time...

..that's considered a victory, because over time it became clear that batting .300 was an appropriate indicator for success..given the extremely high degree of difficulty involved in hitting a fastball moving at 100mph.

It's not too much different in this business of interviewing insiders and whistleblowers, I think if you're batting .500, you're doing a pretty good job! It's a minefield out there! And when Bill and Kerry got started, there was no blueprint for this type of thing. They were pioneers.

I think it was gutsy of you Bill to admit that the Peterson interviews likely no longer stand. This alt media business is cut throat. I'm always so shocked at how quickly people will turn their backs on someone who has made a mistake or 2. It's absurd. The expectations are too high. It's like watching the world cup and never expecting your team to lose possession of the ball.

Sticking with this analogy, I say this: don't judge by how many times your team loses possession, judge by the final score. In order to become wise, we have to be given the space to make mistakes - it's the only path to success. I admire the people who are willing to make them publicly, and not let it stop them

We all make mistakes. Being able to admit that with integrity is the hallmark of integrity. God I love this place!:sun:

Well I am here to tell all of you that I knew Richard A. Baldwin's son. For those of you that don't know the real truth Mark Richards (age 29) and Crossan Hoover (age 17) brutally murdered Richard Baldwin by bashing his head in with a baseball bat, then stabbing him 11 times throughout the heart with a knife, then stabbing him many more times with a screwdriver. This is the most irresponsible so-called journalism I have ever seen. Whats worse is Kerry keeps on plugging it like Richards is some kind of patriot or god set up and framed by at least 100 people. Its disgusting and shallow and way worse than anything I have seen come out of Gaia.

Kevin and I had another heated email exchange. Then we talked on the phone. He had no idea of the real back story and truth in this case. He then asked me if he could interview me over the phone. I agreed and 10 minutes into the interview it really shook him up and he thought it was better to interview me in person. He drove 9 hours from L.A. to my home in northern California to do the interview. We talked about a lot of things off camera.

I discovered Kevin has a heart of gold and what Kerry was portraying inmate Mark Richards as was not only tasteless and without class, but was hurting ufology as bad as Corey Goode, David Wilcock, Emery Smith and the whole Gaia 3 ring wombat circus. Kevin is not at all like he portrays himself in interviews other than he is polite as polite can get.

This all happened about 3 weeks ago. We both decided out of common courtesy to let Kerry know about the interview before it was released. Kevin called her when they were both in the UK. Kerry asked if she could record the phone call so she can pass it on to her friends. Kevin agreed and I heard the phone call. Kerry again called me C.I.A and compared my emotional involvement in the case to the Ku Klux Klan. She went crazy. Lets just say the defecation hit the rotating oscillator in a big way. It went on for 45 minutes.

There were lots of new developments since and now Kevin is making a documentary about Mark Richards. Hopefully it will be finished in December. It will be supported by documented facts and witnesses. Many people directly involved in the case have passed away because this all happened almost 37 years ago.

Like Kevin or not, thats your choice. From what I know about the man now. He has great integrity, a huge heart and he really cares. The documentary will be free and will be dedicated to the memory of Richard A. Baldwin. Rest in Paradise Mr. Baldwin. BTW I loved the Ralph Ring interviews and many others early Camelot videos.

Bill you are a great speaker. I'm sorry for my emotional comment to this thread but this mark Richards thing is going to shed a very dark light KC. She is well aware of the 27 plus links to the case. USA Today, ABC, San Francisco Chronicle and Examiner as well as the court documents and forensic evidence and eye witnesses placing Richards at the scene of the crime and the fact that my entire family grew up in San Rafael including my uncle who was a police officer in that town at the time. Now I live in the same town Ralph grew up in. Bill knows the place. Moved here from Mt Shasta. I'm getting too old for shoveling snow.

Marin DA: Overturn of 'Pendragon' murder conviction is 'absurd and offensive'

A federal magistrate has overturned the murder conviction of a man who killed a San Rafael business owner 25 years ago in a bizarre plot to take over Marin County and turn it into a modern-day Camelot.

The ruling entitles Novato native Crossan Hoover, who has been serving 26 years to life in prison, to a new trial.

The case was overturned in part because of what the magistrate called misconduct by the prosecutor, Edward Berberian, who is now Marin's elected district attorney. The magistrate, James Larson of U.S. District Court in San Francisco, said the prosecutor withheld important information from a psychiatrist appointed to examine Hoover.

Now Berberian has to decide whether to retry a case in which he was a central player a quarter century ago.

In an interview Friday, Berberian denied withholding any information from either the psychiatrist or Hoover's defense attorneys. And he noted that the conviction was upheld in the state appeals process and affirmed by the California Supreme Court before the federal appeal.

"This whole business that I crafted something is absurd and offensive," Berberian said.

A jury convicted Hoover, who was 17 when the crime occurred, of killing Richard Baldwin in July 1982 while making plans for the paramilitary takeover of the county.

Authorities said Hoover killed Baldwin at the orders of Hoover's employer, Mark Richards, a Sleepy Hollow contractor who was masterminding the coup, known as "Pendragon." Richards' plan involved turning Marin County into King Arthur's court, with himself as king and teens as knights. He spoke of destroying the Golden Gate and Richmond-San Rafael bridges, and putting laser guns on Angel Island and Mount Tamalpais, authorities said.

Authorities said Richards had money problems and ordered the murder because Baldwin, the owner of a San Rafael auto restoration shop, was known to carry large amounts of cash. Baldwin was bludgeoned with a baseball bat and stabbed with a screwdriver, then wrapped in cable and plastic sheeting and dumped into the bay.

Richards was convicted of murder in a separate trial and sentenced to life without parole.

Hoover might have been found insane if jurors had been given proper instructions and if the prosecutor had not withheld key information from a psychiatric witness, Larson said in his decision, which was issued Sept. 7.

During Hoover's trial, medical witnesses for the defense said the teenager had been prone to psychotic and violent outbursts, hallucinations and suicidal impulses. But a court-appointed psychiatrist who examined Hoover testified that the teen killed for money. Larson said that testimony was key to the prosecution's case that the teen was sane.

Larson said Berberian withheld important information from the psychiatrist, including details about the Pendragon plot, its impact on Hoover and the teen's suicide attempt in juvenile hall. The psychiatrist, John Buehler, has since said his assessment of Hoover would have been different had he known that information.

"The prosecutor's manipulation of the evidence provided to his expert, Dr. Buehler, so distorted the expert's testimony as to amount to false evidence," the federal judge said.

Berberian denied that claim, noting that the psychiatrist was a court-appointed witness who was also questioned by Hoover's defense.

"That simply did not happen," he said.

Jurors also were not given a proper legal definition of insanity by the trial court judge, Louis Burke, the magistrate found. Burke was a California Supreme Court justice called in to hear the case.

Hoover's lawyer, Nina Wilder, said she hoped the county would instead drop the case. Wilder said her client has been a model inmate at California State Prison-Solano in Vacaville with no evidence of lingering psychiatric problems.

But Berberian said there is no way Hoover will go free without a fight, regardless of any good behavior or the time he has already served.

"There is absolutely no doubt about the fact that he killed this man," Berberian said. "The bloody palm print was found at the murder scene, and he made a number of admissions over that period that implicated himself.

"There's no interest of justice in not having him remain in prison for life. This was a cold-blooded murder done in a brutal fashion."

The district attorney's office has 60 days from Larson's Sept. 7 decision to reinstitute proceedings against Hoover. While prosecutors examine the state of the aging evidence, the state attorney general's office will pursue a stay of Larson's ruling pending an appeal, Berberian said.

"They are seeking review of this decision," he said. "They find it to be a meritless decision."

They reinstated Crossan Hoover's conviction and sentence in 2009 and returned him to prison. He is serving his time a couple of hours south from his former king. King Richards of CDC Camelot North, put Pendragon mind control on the map. He has come a long way in almost 37 years perfecting his technique. The results are both scary and amazing. King Richards is now able to mind control thousands from his cell using his exclusive Pendragon technique he has perfected. What can I say? Mark Richards is a hero. The Pendragon apocalypse assault on ufology and he doesn't even have a space ship let alone a You Tube channel.


Correction; Crossan Hoover was never released from prison in 2007. To this day he has never been released from prison.

Here is a website I found several years ago when researching the MARK RICHARDS story/murder trial:

https://sites.google.com/site/skyzabove/

One can find just about any and all information concerning the murder trial, including various testimonial/archived documents, at this website, most especially court documents and transcripts containing witness statements, etc., by Richards himself. This was a horrendous crime. The victim, Richard A. Baldwin, was bludgeoned to death in his garage. The murder was planned and carried out by Mark Richards and several of his young cohorts, who 'worked' for Richards at the time.

A snip from the above SkyMatters link I have provided states, in part:
ELLIS RICHARDS, SR. / BERT SPARKS TAYLOR

..."We are first introduced to Mark’s grandfather, Ellis Richards, Sr. The 2009 conference notes state:

Ellis Loyd Richards, Sr., was a brilliant electronics engineer, and authored books on the subject. He worked with Tesla and on the Manhattan Project and the Philadelphia Experiment. He was a superintendent of Coyne Electrical Institute. He was also a leading expert in the early push for space flight. He worked at several think-tanks that conducted ‘underground’ research for the US. He invented the Richards Anti-Matter (RAM) Drive in the late '30s.

The 1930 Census Records document that Mr. Richards was a school superintendent and other material establishes that he worked at Coyne Electrical Institute (now called Coyne College). The college specializes in practical training in electrical systems. Today it offers programs in electrical systems and electrical construction and maintenance, as it appears to have done when Mr. Richards was there.

Mr. Richards wrote Diesel Engines and Diesel Electric Power, "a complete practical book of instruction on diesel engines, their construction, principles, operation, care and adjustment." (Chicago, F.J. Drake & Co., 1939.) No other title is listed in the world catalog of libraries (Melvyl). The cover page is shown on google books - although difficult to read it appears that his affiliations included the Electrical Association.

The public record indicates that Richards’s work was directed toward practical applications. He obtained no patents. I have not found any records showing that he was a leading expert on space flight or worked with Tesla. It might be said that if he was inventing anti-matter drives, then his work would have been kept secret, but much of the work of Tesla and other researchers is well known. Thomas Townsend Brown's research on anti-gravity, for instance, was very public and he obtained a number of patents. In contrast, the EDH claims about Mr. Richards stand alone..."

One more snip (very interesting):

..."The length of the deliberations in the Richards case indicates that the verdict was a close one. Yet, there was little question that Mark was involved with the crime – the only issue at trial was whether he was the mastermind or an accessory who tried to cover up the crime. There is a substantial difference between the two in legal terms, but neither one squares with Mark's claim of having been a high level operative – the type of character, skills, knowledge, and connections that the latter would possess is at odds with the events surrounding the Baldwin murder. At the very least, his defense at the time is not consistent with the current claim that he had nothing to do with the crime.

During the time frame that includes Mark's "most intense" covert activity, the public record indicates that he lived a relatively normal life. He attended college in 1976, got married a few years later, and worked to establish a business – although his writings and his hopes for a school of future studies suggests a number of interests with an imaginative streak.

The newspapers at the time were very interested in learning about Richards and investigating his background. There was apparently no suggestion that he had lived a double life or that there had been unexplained absences. Some might say that since Mark was deep into secret covert operations, his story remained hidden, yet there are things that now could be documented. For instance, Jo Ann Richards states that Mark has several degrees in history, science, and quantum physics. (Cassidy Interview, 2012.) That could easily be substantiated.

If Richards joined the army after high school, served as a lieutenant in Viet Nam and an officer in the Navy, that is a matter of record that might have been used at trial or could be documented now. I have not been able to find any veterans records substantiating his claim.

Jo Ann Richards states that both Mark and Ellis Richards were part of the USAF Space Command. (Cassidy Interview, 2012; EDH Dulce Report.) The Command was not activated until 1982, after the events in question. She states that Richards was convicted even though he was somewhere else at the time of the crime, yet that alibi was not presented at trial. Did Mark allege in the state post-conviction proceedings that there was any other evidence?..."

The SkyMatters website states the above written piece may be THE most complete coverage of the murder trial ever written.

One more write up from Murderpedia (excellent) re the Mark Richards case:

http://murderpedia.org/male.H/h/hoov...ssan-david.htm

Snip (last one) from Murderpedia website:

..."Mark Richards was also interviewed by the police shortly after the arrest. He denied any involvement in the murder of his good friend Baldwin and offered an account of his whereabouts on July 6 that did not ring true. The two boys arrested with him were his employees, he told Sheriffs Sergeant Richard Keaton, and then startled his questioner by adding: "The poor kids -- I mean, I should take the fall for this, not them. OK? You know, like if somebody is trying to go down [take the blame] for anything."

Keaton asked, "Why should you take a fall?"

"Well, you know." answered Richards, sinking further into the morass of his own words and uncertain whether it was better to incriminate the boys or to defend them, "I understand what it must look like. OK? And all I'm saying is these are kids. You know, they don't have -- they wouldn't have had anything to do with anything like this. Dick didn't owe them any money or anything like that."

After waiting patiently for the strange monologue to run its course, Keaton confronted Richards with evidence that he had used Baldwin's credit-cards and burglarized his home. Richards admitted both allegations, explaining that the car-dealer owed him money; he had used the credit-cards with Baldwin's approval in reduction of the debt. He could not plead the dead man's consent to the burglary, but apparently hoped that the detective would regard the break-in as a frustrated creditor's last resort. Still, once it was clear to him that he could not deny possession of some of the fruits of the crime, Richards backed away from his earlier "protective" attitude towards his young employees; he told Keaton that Crossie Hoover had confessed to him the murder of Baldwin.

These first statements taken from the suspects might have indicated that the killer or killers of the classic-car dealer had acted from routine theft motives. However, a police inspection of Mark Richards's house added a whole new dimension to the case. On July 22 the Marin Independent Journal reported the results of the search under a towering headline, "BIZARRE PLOT FOR MARIN COUP?"


One has to ask, why on earth Richards, if he was 'off planet' during this crime, would have had possession of the victim's credit cards? HE USED THEM and fully owns up to this during his questioning!

I would beg anyone who views Mark Richards as some sort of secret space war hero to PLEASE review the court records and any and all testimony during the trial and ask yourself if you, then, really truly believe this man is anything more than a sociopath.

He was NOT off planet at the time of this murder. HE. WAS.THERE. Mark Richards planned Richard A. Baldwin's murder. Richards was deeply in debt, as the California state forensics detective testified, during the trial. This detective (you can find his name and what he stated in the court documents)...he stated that financial records of Mark Richards were obtained by police detectives which showed absolutely the dire straits of Richards' finances at the time of this murder.

In my opinion, after reading thoroughly ALL of the documents provided by the SkyMatters website, Mark Richards is a true sociopath. He is a monster. ANYONE who would believe Richards' preposterous story...is being played.

There are REAL people who have lost their lives and/or have had their lives and the lives of their family members ruined beyond measure because of various elements involved with this entire alien/human issue. It is appalling to see someone such as this Mark Richards fellow be propped up on some sort of pedestal as a hero when nothing, nothing, nothing could be further from the truth.

I can almost guarantee that those of whom truly are involved in a deep manner with black ops issues regarding this phenomenon are NOT talking to the public.

There is an interview of a former Brigadier General who gives testimony about this government coverup re the alien/human issue (Greer interviewed him). Cannot remember his name -- but you can find it under the Sirius channel at YouTube. No matter what one may think about Greer, he does interview some decent, TRUTHFUL individuals (William Pawelek for one).

There is so much hogwash melded in with truth regarding this phenomenon that it's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. But again, I would implore anyone who may have heard about the Mark Richards tale to use your discernment (and common sense) when reviewing the materials proffered on this thread.

It sickens me to no end that anyone would prop this man up as some sort of hero.

Mark Richards is right where he should be - IN PRISON. I feel for Richard A. Baldwin's family having to witness the story telling regarding the man who conspired to murder a beloved family member. They don't deserve this. THEY are the victims here, NOT Mark Richards.

@Geoff

I'm absolutely fascinated (mind-blown) by your postings-

and that's a good thing on my part- I figure I can always learn something new- but would it be possible for you to tell us all in some way who you really are and why/from where you have your contacts-

I think that would interest not only me but all on Avalon-

please stay well @Geoff and all readers!

"Larry the Ripper" (thanks to my 2 recent hernia operations) :-)))

More snips (can't help myself):

When reading thru the below, please consider the following:

SEVERAL individuals came forward and spoke to the police about Mark Richards' strange behavior leading up to the murder of Mr. Baldwin, including the mother of a Novato youth who had previously worked for Richards, but then left Richards' business because Richards was acting in a bizarre fashion.

This mother spoke to the newspaper, the Independent Journal, about this issue. There were several young men who spoke to the police department about Richards' bizarre behavior AND that Richards had approached several young men about murdering Mr. Baldwin (with promises of financial gain, etc., should they participate).

The security guard who stopped Richards and two of the young men at the marina (with the dead man's body in their boat secured to the truck that Richards had just purchased the day after the murder), testified under oath, during the trial.

So what is Ms. Cassidy suggesting - that ALL of these individuals worked for the CIA as part of the big cover-up?

Please. Give me a break...


..."In the weeks that followed, a number of witnesses came forward with stories indicating that the Pendragon group in fact existed. Crossie Hoover told investigators that one of the inducements to the murder was Richard's promise to appoint him Duke of Angel's Island.

The mother of a Novato youth informed the Independent Journal that her son had left the group a month before because Mark Richards "was getting really weird." Another person close to Richards told the newspaper that Mark was fascinated with medieval history and talked about taking over all of California -- a dream that did not prevent his friend from describing him as "enthusiastic and not at all sinister."

The Independent Journal also learned of Richards's plans in 1977 to lease the San Francisco Theological Seminary building for use as a school to study the future. According to a proposed catalogue, the school, called Futurecastle, would be an "innovative academic community dedicated to the origins of a new renaissance." The ambitious project, which was to provide a faculty including actor William Shatner and writer-producer George Lucas, came to nothing when the seminary cancelled the lease for nonpayment of rent.

In a court affidavit, another teenage employee of Richards, Pete Neal, disclosed that Hoover was not the only person Richards had solicited to murder Baldwin. Neal stated that in late May Richards had offered him a dune-buggy and $1000 as a reward for disposing of the car dealer. Another young man told the Independent Journal that he had attended a Pendragon conclave some months ago but found it "too far fetched" to take seriously. He had been invited to the four-hour meeting by a friend who had reportedly been paid $500 by Richards to recruit Pendragon members..."

SNIP:

..."The crime had been planned months in advance, and Andrew was to receive $2000 to stay at the Baldwin house while the murder was in progress. The young witness had trouble recalling times and dates, testifying that the three confederates had bought a boat a few days after the killing; the purchase was in fact made on the evening of the murder.

Andrew recalled more clearly the trio's misadventures in disposing of the body; Richards, Hoover and he had put the boat in the water at the Loch Lomond Marina in San Rafael and returned to Baldwin's shop, where the body was hidden under a car. After they had brought the corpse back to the boat in a pickup truck, their troubles had begun.

The boat engine had stalled several times as they headed out into the bay, and they had been forced to drop the body closer to shore than planned. A carton of weights intended to sink the corpse to the bottom of the bay had broken the rope binding it to the body, so the small outboard motor had been substituted. Asked by Richards's attorney Shapiro whether he had ever considered going to the police prior to the murder with a report of Richards's plot against Baldwin, young Andrew seemed offended by the notion: "We weren't going to turn Mark in just because he was talking about killing somebody."

Judge Gary Thomas was satisfied by the evidence offered at the hearing and ordered that Richards be committed for trial..."

Last, but not least, the following:

Taken from the SkyMatters website:

SkyMatters states:

..."It has been noted that both Ellis and Mark Richards are enshrined in the Wall of Honor at the National Air and Space Museum. There is no doubt that Major Richards was a pilot in at least the early stages of his career since aviation records list him as being involved with four accidents between 1943 and 1952. However, the wall includes anyone who chooses to honor themselves or another, without requiring documentation, as long as a financial contribution is made to the museum. No special credence can be ascribed to this.

The National Reconnaissance Office does not mention Ellis Richards as either a co-founder or "pioneer." I can find no independent documentation to show that he was a military liaison and a close friend of either President Kennedy or the Dalai Lama. Presumably, there would be some record of his service and perhaps even a private photograph that could be released to verify his friendships. Similarly, the 1961 trip included many activities that might be documented.

There is no official record of the Hornet being used after it was decommissioned in 1970. It raises the question of whether any movement of a ship like this from the mothball fleet could have been conducted without attention. It can be asked if a retired major would have been given command of the earth’s defense after Admiral Nimitz died; if an “infamous” character known as the “Dutchman” with various public roles would have escaped attention; why his name is not mentioned with many of events that have been reported; and, why there is no other corroboration for the claims involving more public activity.

SNIP from a "Murder In Camelot":

..."This introductory evidence was followed by the testimony of the prosecution's "baby-faced" star witness, Andrew. According to him, Richards had first mentioned the idea of killing Baldwin on July 1, 1982. He had told Andrew and Hoover that Baldwin owed him money, was a "Nazi" and a "faggot," and that it "would be a service to the public to get rid of such a menace." After the murder, Richards had expansively asserted that "if we made enough money, he could use some of it to buy guns for Pendragon," but Andrew was skeptical, continuing to believe that money was the motive. Richards, he testified, needed cash to save his contracting business from bankruptcy. The contractor had told his two young confederates that they might raise as much as $50,000 by selling Baldwin's property, including shop equipment and vintage cars. Andrew also described a nervous moment during the launching of the boat at the

Loch Lomond yacht harbor: they had been noticed and questioned by a security guard, but had apparently satisfied him with their answers. When they returned to the marina with Baldwin's shrouded corpse, the guard questioned them again but let them pass. It was perhaps just as well for the guard that he had not looked more closely, for all three men were armed with pistols. Andrew stated that Richards had told him that Baldwin's classic-car collection could be sold through a Fresno automobile dealer named John Carrington...."


As I've stated in another post, the security guard DID testify under oath during the trial.

I realize Ms. Cassidy has a following of individuals who truly admire her work. I, too, feel she has done some remarkable research. I have listened/viewed several of her videos -- some when both she and Bill were still collaborating and those that she has done separately. Again, I feel she has done some excellent work.

But having said this, she has completely missed the mark on this one (no pun intended). She is being played by a true sociopath. He's good. He can weave a really good yarn.

I admire the fact that Bill has openly admitted the lack of due diligence as it is applied to the Pete Peterson testimony. It took a level of integrity to fully own up to the fact that NO due diligence was done on the part of either Kerry OR Bill prior to interviewing Pete Peterson years ago. I admire that.

I realize I am coming down HARD on Ms. Cassidy with this Mark Richards issue. So be it. I, too, believe in compassion and forgiveness - believe me. I do. But I have a very real problem with some of these folks who profess to being some sort of super heroes in a secret space program when they've proffered NOTHING in the way of PROOF as such.

And the fact that some very mainstream so-called researchers will place these individuals up on some sort of pedestal w/o having seen so much as a document -- ANYTHING AT ALL - within which to prove these individuals' claims, is just downright unconscionable.

I buried very recently a true hero in my book. I cannot go public w/most of what I now know about my dad's past with some of this, but at the minimum, I can at least prove (if need be) who I am, who my dad was, where I lived, where I was born, where I grew up and where I was educated...at the minimum!

If someone cannot prove, at the minimum, who they say they are, how on earth can you then find credibility as to ANYTHING this person states for the record?

You can't.

I hope that researchers in this movement will perhaps devise some sort of baseline within which certain information is provided BEFORE someone is proffered up as some sort of super hero, whistleblower.

Some extremely credible and truthful individuals have, indeed, come forward (William Pawelek is one of them)...

...Mark Richards is not one of them.

Julian Salt a PhD Chemist, author and investigator who has been corresponding with Captain Mark Richards for the past 7 years. I have always held this interview in high regard because here we have two people who have had separate experiences with Mark Richards. Both agree he is extremely intelligent, has a military aura about him and very spiritually aware.

At 36:00

Kerry: He also has got a gentility about him
Julian: He is a very nice guy
Kerry: You know he can handle himself, you have got no doubt about that
Julian: Totally, he would kill you in an instance
Kerry: Yes

Captain Mark Richards wife and daughter were murdered in the 1970´s . He also claims to have been set up by Bechtel (Nazi´s) and in the court records he referred to the victim as a Nazi. This does paint a picture of a person with motive to commit such a crime.

However, as an experiencer I believe Mark Richards testimony should be kept separate from his personal life. At the end of the interview Julian states "I have tried to knock it, I am a scientist, but I can´t find a hole, he is for real."

Sunwings wait until the documentary is released. You might have a better overview and a much clearer perspective. Any true scientist will often change their opinion or belief as new data becomes available. The data has always been there only know one could see it because people like Kerry don't want you to see it. She does not co-habitate well with free thinkers. If all you hear is the same narrative then that becomes your truth. Inmate Mark Richards's testimony is his personal life. Anyways Julian Salt was interviewed for this documentary. Just so you know. We are being honest and concerned. Your concerns will be addressed in the documentary.

A note just for the record: that interview was done in August 2014, nearly 4 years ago. Do we know anything about Dr Julian Salt? A web page, books, background, bio? If he's an author, I've not yet been able to locate anything he's written.

"A jury convicted Hoover, who was 17 when the crime occurred, of killing Richard Baldwin in July 1982 while making plans for the paramilitary takeover of the county."

Bill, Kerry suggested Kevin talk to Julian and interview him to validate her claims when they talked on the phone last month. She even sent contact information. Kevin interviewed him last week and was so impressed he wants to interview him again. Also he had a touch of food poisoning. I didn't watch Kerry's entire Julian Salt interview. I do however have a more clearer understanding of him now from what Kevin relayed to me. Julian first became introduced and interested in ufology because of Mark Richards story. In fact Julian was how Kerry first learned about Mark Richards. Julian and Kerry met at a Sacramento conference years ago. Julian had just visited Mark Richards who was incarcerated at Solano State Prison about 30 minutes away from Sacramento. Kerry said on the phone she knew about the case long before she started Camelot. I'm not bringing this up to be petty and expose every little proven lie coming from Kerry. We are also not doing a smash job specifically aimed at Kerry. All we are trying to do is keep this type of element/journalism from destroying ufology by reviving the critical thinking skills in those of us that are no longer critically thinking. Both you and Kerry helped enlightened me and many others years ago and I don't forget such things. People get off track from time to time in many different ways. Thats just human nature. We are trying to help get ufology back on track.

Many thanks! :thumbsup:

(Note: I added paragraph breaks in my quote of your post to make it just a little easier to read.)

For the record, I can confirm Kerry did know about Mark (and Jo Ann) Richards before we started Camelot. So did I, in fact. But when I was working with her, we never thought of trying to contact him.

Jo Ann seemed to be the only, very indirect, source of info, and it all seemed too tenuous and hard to get hold of. We never gave it any thought, and had more than plenty to do anyway. My guess is that it may well be that after she heard about him also from Julian, her interest was piqued enough to go track Richards down in prison.

I just turned 60 on July 2nd and I recently became a father. I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old daughter. I grew up in the bay area. East and north bay actually. I was born in Berkeley in 1958. My father had earned a PHD at both Stanford and UC Berkeley. He taught english logic and philosophy.

My mother and father and two uncles grew up in San Rafael where the murder happened, My grand parents had homes there as well. My uncle was a police officer there. Most of my family history is either there or in Denmark. I didn't just appear out of nowhere. I have been a member here since 2012. I don't post much.

I felt compelled because Kerry accused me of so many bad things. I have intimate knowledge not only of the crime but of California State prison Solano as well. I am here either looking for the truth or sharing the real truth when I have the facts and the proof. BTW I have a friend that spent 13 years at that very same prison and Mule Creek in Ione ca. "California State prison Solano" not to be confused with "California Medical Facility". It's a male-only state prison medical facility located in the city of Vacaville, Solano County, California. It is older than California State Prison, Solano, the other state prison in Vacaville. Both prisons are next door to each other.

Jo Ann Richards had to remind Kerry to quit saying Vacaville prison when she allegedly visits Mark Richards because she is putting Mark's life in danger, because the Vacaville prison is protective custody and other inmates will kill them.

Apparently after 7 or 8 visits to the same prison Kerry has been going to the wrong prison. I have been up there for visits more than 100 times and I know how it works and how it looks and it is not Nazi Germany as Kerry sensationalizes it to be. I have seen inmate Richards in the visiting room on several occasions. He is where he is now because he is a very evil man.

My friend deserved to be there. Richards never spoke of SSP when he now claims it all happened but he was on an extreme pendragon crusade. The actual truth is he started writing about tyne SSP as science fiction book as a gift for his grand kids in 1997. Thank you all so much for giving me this opportunity.

When the documentary is ready Kevin and I will post it free all over the place. Its important information that needs to be shared to help turn ufology around and not upside down. Most importantly Richard A. Baldwin was a good person and a loving father. He had many people that loved him.

I think what bothers me the most about this, is not the small amount of money Kerry makes, but the fact that she also knows the truth and completely buries it and has turned this evil man into a saint in the eyes of her loyal fans. What kind of a person does such things?

If her loyal followers were just as evil I could understand it a little better but they are very positive people with good hearts. It really bothers me that she is doing this to them. I certainly hope Richard Baldwin's family doesn't know anything about this.

For the record, I can confirm Kerry did know about Mark (and Jo Ann) Richards before we started Camelot. So did I, in fact. But when I was working with her, we never thought of trying to contact him...

Bill - Since you've brought this up, I CAN confirm that as far as the SkyMatters information, Kerry did NOT know about that. She admitted to me via email that she had not seen any of that information. So what she may have heard about Mark Richards prior to Camelot most certainly did not encompass the SkyMatters information.

Further, I have tried to find as much info. re Julian Salt as I can find on the net, but can find nothing much, other than he is indeed an academic. So because Mr. Salt is an academic -- we are supposed to believe Richards' story because Salt has added his stamp of approval to Richards' story? That's absurd (not at all stating that you feel this way, Bill). But what just astounds me more than anything is that so many people seem to jump on the bandwagon and blindly want to accept Richards' story (reminds me of the CG saga here) w/o so much as doing thorough research into Richards' background.

Look - I completely agree with Dolan's take on the SSP. It exists. It most certainly exists. But having said that, Richards' story in no way validates its existence. Sociopaths do what they do because many of them are GOOD at what they do. People get sucked into their lies in amazing ways and don't want to accept that they've been 'had' by some of these individuals when the truth finally comes out. The Bill Cosby issue comes to mind here. I, too, have been confronted with this issue (believing wholeheartedly in someone and having my heart smashed to pieces when I discovered I'd been deceived). People tend to be gullible -- GOOD PEOPLE. That's an endearing trait I see so often with the human race, but a trait that is frustrating as well.

Many people want TRUTH to be this exciting, thrilling, fantastical thing, but it's not always what you want it to be.

I feel somewhat sorry for Richards' wife. But at the same time, now that someone has taken the time to uncover the murder trial documents and has painstakingly placed them on a website for easy access, it would behoove anyone who is interested in the Mark Richards saga to take a look -- a thorough look - at the SkyMatters website and see whether what Richards' wife states in her various lectures adds up to what you see in those documents.

NO ONE involved with the Richards murder trial, was working for the CIA and actively trying to cover up Richards' involvement with the SSP. Please...

I hope in the future that those involved with ufology, whether it be the researchers themselves or the general public, will learn more still to use one's discernment, just as much as learning to stay in one's heart. You cannot just throw your brain out the window when you hear stories like this one. Sometimes things are really just what they seem to be. Sometimes they are not. The trick is to learn, through discernment, which is which.

"GOOD PEOPLE"!! So true, Bayareamom! This is exactly why religious conmen can also get away with fleecing people. It is also why the majority of people are simply unable to comprehend the level of evil that is going on worldwide, because they feel since they wouldn't do "such things", no one else would either! It is a conundrum, isn't it?! :facepalm:

Yes. At that early time, what we knew of Mark Richards' claims was only through Jo Ann (his wife), who was doing one or two radio show interviews in the mid-2000s (I remember a very early one with Daniel Ott), and she also had an early version of her Earth Defense HQ website.

But the first time I ever heard of the SkyMatters website was recently, long after I left Camelot. Kerry and I never spoke of that once, and I can believe she was never aware of it at that time.
