To the FBI,
Hailey Branson wrote about Cohen's testimony about the Aryan Nation.
I was in disbelief sitting there. I would like to note, at this
point, that the prosecutor asked him questions about being Jewish
although he was Buddhist for the entire 20 years I knew him and I
never once saw him go to anything even faintly resembling a temple.
When he became friendly with Leon Wieseltier, and some others, he
began having Friday evening dinners. This happened sometime in 2003
and 2004. Leonard Cohen testified that the Aryan Nation matter
related to him. That is a bald-faced lie. I intend to post this on
my blog because the lies here are extraordinary. I did indeed meet
members of the Aryan Nation while homeless in LA. They are not my
typical ilk of friend but some of them helped protect me and I
appreciate that. It's very dangerous for a single woman to end up
homeless in Santa Monica. At that time, I met my young friend
Michael. He told me about his family's history with the Aryan Nation,
Cartel, and meth labs - in Dallas. He told me a horrifying story
involving an incident in Texas that I believe involved the FBI.
Sometime much later, while in Boulder, Michael and I began speaking on
the phone. He views me as a mother figure and I was hoping he would
stay on the straight and narrow. His family asked him to pick up his
former job as family meth cook and fortunately he did not.
In one of these conversations, Michael mentioned that the FBI was
holding his younger brother's ID. He told me the FBI was
investigating his dangerous and deranged uncle for his possible
involvement in a murder in Dallas. He also told me the FBI was
curious about meth labs. And, he told me he felt his uncle would
murder both him and his younger brother, who I also spoke with. Since
I am NOT an FBI agent, I can assure you that I did NOT want to hear
this information. I also heard other information and initially
decided to call the Denver FBI. I don't think the Duty Agent there
was aware of the issue with Michael, his family, and the Dallas FBI.
I, therefore, decided to contact the DOJ (with Michael copied in) to
report the fact that Michael was afraid his uncle would murder both
him and his brother.
As for drugs, google Leonard Cohen and drugs. Visit Dr. Heck Of A
Guy's site for a list of the pharmaceuticals this man has used. He
likes to plunge. He has used meth, heroin, LSD, downers, you name it
and yet he has the audacity to take the stand and testify that he
thought I was attempting to assail his reputation. Leonard Cohen's
decision to abuse drugs and alcohol is not my attempt to assail him or
his family.
This relationship did NOT get messy. Leonard Cohen heard - in October
2004 - that I had made a decision to report his tax fraud to the IRS.
I had my suspicions for a number of years and my lawyers were clear -
the facts indicate very clearly that I did everything to attempt to
find out what was going on. The fact that Hailey, and her fellow
journalists, have given Cohen a Get Out Of Jail Free Card is
appalling. Leonard Cohen cannot live in Canada. He has tax and
residence issues there.
I have made NO DEATH THREATS whatsoever - not to Leonard Cohen and not
to Steve Cooley, two insufferable ego maniacs who like to throw their
power and weight around and rough up innocent women. Leonard Cohen,
after being interviewed by Mikal Gilmore, TOLD me that he would like
to die by firing squad. I noted that he should. Do I have a firing
squad? I said the District Lunatic, if it COULD be proven that he set
up an innocent man who was given life in prison and he is 73 years of
age (Phil Spector) should receive the gravest penalty of all: the
death sentence. Captain Jack Horvath evidently can collect a paycheck
but he cannot read.
As for Detective Viramontes - I intend to speak to my attorney about a
potential lawsuit against this man. He told me, pleading Cohen's
case, that Leonard Cohen doesn't know I'm just a woman sitting behind
a computer. Yes he does. I know Leonard Cohen. Viramontes is making
it up as he goes along. And, trust me, I had to be served or notified
of the California order. In fact, it seems as though Viramontes
himself (or law enforcement) were obligated to contact me and give me
reasonable notice that it existed in California. That never happened
and I doubt that man tried to contact me. What's his excuse? He
didn't have my email address? His obsession with the IRS is
preposterous. I asked him if he thought penalties and interest in the
vicinity of $30 million (as of 2004) on three Cohen entities was
enough for Cohen to destroy my life. I think Viramonte is a disgrace
to mankind.
I have no idea what an "intent to annoy" is but, if necessary, this
issue is going to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Check out the post from Denise below. I don't know a Denise and
didn't send her emails. I am not homeless. I do not have a drinking
problem. I'm not in a rage. I am truly irritated that I have to
review the lies told at trial for the appellate attorney but I've
dealt with much worse. I still can't file my federal or state tax
returns but I don't owe the IRS or State money so I am putting this on
a back burner. If the State garnishes my wages again, I will deal
with it again. This situation is sheer lunacy. I asked the so-called
detective why he felt I had to contact Cohen so frequently. He had no
answer and that's when he decided to call Agent Tejeda to ask him to
speed up whatever he's planning so I can expeditiously deal with all
of this and advised me that the IRS must obtain the information from
Leonard Cohen. Viramontes told me in no uncertain terms that I am NOT
permitted to request the tax and financial data I need and I explained
some of the complications involved. So, LAPD is now preventing me
from filing my tax returns. This is a very serious IRS matter - as
are the actions of Judge Robert Vanderet, Deputy City Attorney Sandra
Jo Streeter, District Attorney Steve Cooley, Deputy District Attorney
Alan Jackson, Captain Jack Horvath and others., They have attempted
to sabotage the IRS. It relates to Phil Spector. And, it is
sickening.
All the best,
Kelley
Cohen … testified that several voice mails and emails from Lynch
mentioned the Aryan Nations and accused Cohen of using drugs. He said
Lynch sent emails about him to numerous people, including many he did
not know.
“It’s not a pleasant sensation,” Cohen said. “Ms. Lynch routinely
accused me of being a drug addict and many other things. Of course I
didn’t like it, and I felt my reputation was being assailed and the
reputation of my family.” …
In his opening statements Friday, Michael Kelly, a public defender
representing Lynch, said the case “is very much about relationships
and how relationships oftentimes get messy.”
Lynch is being held at Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood
in lieu of $25,000 bail.

I’ve known Leonard’s ‘excessively creepy’ stalker for almost 30 years
and I am deeply saddened by all of this. In 1990 I spent a memorable
weekend in New York with Kelley and Leonard and throughout the years
I’d see Leonard occasionally and Kelley often. She was beautiful,
sophisticated, kind, generous, outrageous and incredibly smart. Since
2004 I have received hundreds if not thousands of rambling emails from
Kelley. Whether they were about Leonard, Niel Greenberg, Phil Specter
or her ex-husband, Steve Lindsey, the emails were filled with threats,
conspiracy theories and faulty logic. The Kelley I knew 30 years ago
seems gone forever, and she truly was an exceptional person back then.
To see her now; homeless, penniless, and so full of anger and rage, is
heartbreaking. I hope that this period of incarceration allows Kelley
time to reflect and dry out as she’s often called me drunk at 10:00
am. Insanity and alcohol are a dangerous combination.
