China Syndrome At The WPI
My friend Judy is in jail. It defies explanation.
Nine policeman appeared at the home of Lilly
Meehan yesterday with a warrant and searched her
house, finding nothing of course.
At the same time, Judy's house was searched and
she was arrested for being a "fugitive". She was
fired unexpectedly and went home to her husband.
That's being a fugitive? Only legal machinations,
misuse of the system, could define her as a
fugitive. If it wasn't so horrible, it would be
laughable. What she was "fleeing" was a veritable
looney bin, having made every attempt to remain
on the inside.
And now they have taken her freedom. Turning her
into not just a fraud, but a criminal, a thief? Come
on. She is incarcerated and anything can happen.
It is critical that the patient community find ways to
let the authorities know that we are watching. If
anyone harms a hair on her head, it will be noticed.
Dr. Mikovits was due in New York for the Mt. Sinai
conference tomorrow, so would have had to leave
the state in any event. And they knew very well she
had been invited to that conference; it was no
secret and they could have warned her that they
thought that a violation of the injunction.
What were they going to do if she had just gone to
New York? Would she have been hauled off to jail
for attending an important ME conference at which
she was slated to be on a panel?
My blog is being monitored by the same law firm
that sued Dr. Mikovits in the last few days. From
Chicago and Kansas City. There are even 3 hits
from the tech department in Kansas City.
It would appear that they are actually paying really
expensive lawyers to think about my blog! Are they
going to spend money on a libel suit?
To win a libel suit, you have to prove an untruth. I
have told the truth and nothing but the truth.
Everything I've said is my opinion and my own
experience. I have nothing to hide and stand behind
everything I've said.
The only blog I regret is the one Harvey fed me
about VIP Dx. I believed what he told me implicitly
at the time, but now?
Anything they told me is suspect. Who are these
people? The sweet well-intentioned parents of a
sick young woman? They must have used a very
long, very strong arm to have made that happen
yesterday. An intensive police effort in another
state for a non-violent crime? How many cops
involved? 20? You'd think she was a serial killer.
For the record, and lawyers at SNR Denton please
take note, when I said that the WPI was spending
money that patients donated on lawyers, I was
stating my opinion, based on my assumption that
the WPI's income comes from grants and
donations, and that they aren't using grant money
to pay lawyers.
However, I was never privy to the books or finances
at the WPI. I did not mean that there are line items
in the books showing patient donations going to
lawyers. The lack of accountability is part of the
problem. What did happen to all that money, since
there was lots of it, and apparently still enough left
to burn up a bunch on lawyers?
I wanted to write a blog before the annual fundraiser,
but Judy stopped me. And now they have all that
money, to pay lawyers to destroy Judy and go over
my blog with a fine tooth comb. Very ugly.
Personally, I think it was Professor Plum in the
library with the candlestick. The materials in
question document a failed experiment. I have no
idea where the notebooks are, but the value being
put on them is smoke and mirrors, in my estimate.
Their only real value would seem to be to someone
with something to hide, which could be a number of
people, Judy being the least likely. Any value the
notebooks might have had is destroyed with this
crazy maneuver. They are in the process of
completing the destruction of the only scientist in
the world who cares enough to have laid it all on
the line.
The scientist that helped their daughter by finally
conceptualizing what was wrong with her, even if
she didn't have the resources, human and financial,
to prove it.
The damage to patients, to my daughter, is
inestimable. The Whittemore's are throwing us
back into darkness. Complete meltdown for the
patients.
They held themselves out as our best hope, but
have managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of
victory. Beyond tragic. They have now ensured
their own place in the community as a pariah, it
seems to me. The saddest thing of all is that they
are fighting about the past, and ensuring that
nothing at all will happen going forward, while our
hearts get dissected in the courts.
I had to cancel my trip to NYC. I have been pushing
to see patients for a couple of weeks and was too
close to the edge to throw myself off a cliff and
hope to fly.
And now this. I will be in LA on Tuesday for Judy's
arraignment. I hope that as many of you as
possible will attend. Let the authorities know that
we are watching. Let her know that we are with her.
A hearing for Dr. Mikovits will take place on
Tuesday, November 22 at the Ventura County
Government Center, Hall of Justice, Room 13, at
1:30 p.m. The government center is on Victoria
Avenue in East Ventura.
County of Ventura Government Center
800 S. Victoria Avenue
Ventura, California 93009
See Click here: (http://bit.ly/sL5mNe) Maps Map of
the Ventura County Government Center
Parking for the Hall of Justice is accessible from
Lots B & C, entering from Victoria Avenue, and
from lots E & F, entering from Hill Road. Even with
handicapped parking, there is considerable
distance to walk from the parking lot to the Hall of
Justice, so bring a wheelchair if needed.
Ventura is a coastal Southern California town
between Santa Barbara and Malibu. Travel to
Ventura County by car is accessible by freeway.
The Ventura County Government Center is
bordered by the 126 Freeway and Victoria Avenue
and is close to the 101 freeway as well.
Amtrac has stops at both Oxnard and Ventura. The
Metrolink train station in Montalvo is much closer
to the government center than the Amtrac stations,
so if possible to use Metrolink, that is the best.
