Dear
Mr. Boesch:
I
received your bizarre demand letter dated September 22, 2016 via
email attachment from your assistant Romaine Oliver-Paschal on September
22, 2016.
I
am not familiar with your client Christian Slater except that I am
generally aware that he is a movie actor. I have never met your client nor
have I interacted with him in any way. I have no knowledge of any alleged
“entertainment project” concerning your client, referenced as “Slater
vs. Slater” or otherwise. I do not represent Karina Von Watteville in
respect to any matter, legal or transactional. This includes with respect
to any “entertainment project”.
I
am a former Californian trial lawyer from San Francisco, California. In
April of 2013, after 37 years of practice, I took an early retirement at
age 58, liquidated everything I owned in California, and moved to my
waterfront summer home on the island of Crete, Greece. I have not worked
for compensation, nor have I practiced law, nor have I been involved in any
for-profit activity of any kind since that date. I have never been involved
in the development of an “entertainment project” of any kind.
It
would appear that you have been the victim of a hoax perpetrated my Kelly
Ann Lynch, of Los Angeles, California. I suspect this because the only
current connection between myself and Ms. Von Watteville is that we
are both internet and email harassment victims of Kelley Lynch.
Kelley
Lynch was fired by Leonard Cohen as his business manager in the fall of
2004 after it was determined through an independent audit that Ms. Lynch
embezzled in excess of $5,000,000.00 from Mr. Cohen while she was in his
employ. Since that date, Ms. Lynch has been involuntarily committed for
psychiatric observation at least four times, and she has an extensive
criminal history, including but by no means limited to an April, 2012
criminal conviction of six counts of email harassment and restraining order
violations that included death threats and the most vile emails imaginable,
and she was sentenced to serve 18-months in the Los Angeles County Jail.
On January 20, 2014, following a hearing, the Los Angeles County
Superior Court found that Ms. Lynch had transmitted death threats via email
to her prosecutor Sandra Jo Streeter, and Ms. Lynch was returned to jail
for an additional 6-months.
Kelley
Lynch has also been convicted and sentenced to jail for criminal trespass,
and a host of other petty criminal offenses. Ms. Lynch also has numerous
civil harassment restraining orders issued against her from 2005 through
2013 (the most recent restraining order issued in favor of her former
landlord Raymond Lawrence).
Ms.
Lynch currently has a $14,000,000.00 unpaid embezzlement based civil
judgment against her in favor of Leonard Cohen that was renewed in 2015.
Ms. Lynch has also filed numerous frivolous court proceeding that have all
been summarily dismissed, including most recently a 300 page “RICO suit”
that Ms. Lynch filed in January of 2016 in the United States District Court
for the Central District of California; the suit was sua sponte dismissed
on the court’s own motion as “legally and factually frivolous”.
I attach a copy of the court order of dismissal for your
review.
I
also attach a pdf copy of a letter sent by New York City attorney Bruce
Cutler to Kelley Lynch’s sentencing judge outlining her 5-year campaign of
telephonic, email, and voice mail harassment.
If
I can answer any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very
truly yours,
Stephen
R. Gianelli
Attorney-at-Law
(ret.)
Crete,
Greece
Stephen Gianelli has
taregeted individuals, such as Dan Meade who provided a declaration
submitted to LA Superior Court. He also targeted Dan and me,
following Dan's death, on his FB page where Dan's son posted notice of his
father's death. My Buddhists friends blocked him and concluded he was
indeed a psychopath. Gianelli and
his client, KVW, also targeted a friend of mine, a federal court
practitioner and injunction expert, demanding details about Jules Zalon’s
views on LC’s fraudulent default judgment and asking him to confirm if he
represented me.

Maclean’s Devastated
August 17, 2005
A 'devastated' Leonard Cohen The Canadian music icon is broke and the lawsuits are flying. It's a sordid tale involving allegations of extortion, SWAT teams, forcible confinement, tax troubles and betrayal. KATHERINE MACKLEM I said there's been a flood I said there's nothing left -- Leonard Cohen, from The Letters, on his album Dear Heather Take an iconic artist, mix in missing millions, hints of tantric sex, a lawsuit replete with other salacious details, and a ruptured relationship with a long-time, trusted associate, and you've got the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster. Except in the case of Leonard Cohen, it's a true tale, with the bizarre twist of a Tibetan Buddhist suing a Zen Buddhist, Cohen. For the 70-year-old poet, singer and songwriter, it's a nasty, rapidly escalating legal battle that on the one hand accuses him of conspiracy and extortion, and on the other has him accusing both his highly trusted personal manager and long-time financial adviser -- the Tibetan Buddhist -- of gross mismanagement of his financial affairs. The case exposes not only private details of Cohen's finances, but also a dramatic tale of betrayal.
Lynch's response, to all of this has been bitter,
scattered and in some cases difficult to comprehend. In a rambling exchange
of emails with Maclean's last week, she denied any wrongdoing. She also
declined to discuss the Agile Group's lawsuit, describing it as
"bogus" and "slanderous," while promising to file her
own complaints against Cohen and other principal players in the case. She
added her phone had been disconnected because she lacked money to pay the
bills.
In the meantime, she's been showering Cohen and others with invective-laden emails that alternately voice misery and hurl accusations at friends and former colleagues. Many of these lament losing custody of her 12-year-old son, Ray, to his father, music producer Steve Lindsay. A few devolve into the outrightly bizarre. One missive, sent July 17 and obtained by Maclean's, invites Greenberg in highly explicit terms to Lynch's home for an evening of tantric sex. "First I want to study the inner channels with you," it says. "Why not -- let's see who is better at tantric sex -- you or me." Cohen too sent Lynch a message last fall spelling out his concern in verse: You can't tell the difference between a threat / and a helping hand, he wrote. You can't tell the difference between a threat / and a solemn warning / from one of the few people / who still cares about you and your family. Lynch's apparent troubles have had punishing legal consequences.
And
then, moving offensively due to the fact that my lawyers raised the sexual
harassment (and a hostile workplace environment) with Kory, I was converted
into a disgruntled “ex –lover” whom LAPD had taken to a “mental hospital.”
The Killer King file does not contain my identifying information (just
address) and is not my medical file. I think there were long term
plans related to me.
By
the winter of 2005, Detective Brian Bennett (DA investigator on the Spector
case) made an unannounced appearance at my house. He informed me that
the DA received an “anonymous tip” about my friendship with Phil
Spector. No doubt via former DDA Ira Reiner. Bennett had a file
with him containing information related to another ‘Kelly Lynch” whose name
was spelled without the second “e” that my name contains: “Kelley
Lynch.” After he left, I phoned Raoul Felder, songwriter Doc Pomus’ brother, an
attorney in NY to explain that I didn’t want to be a “witness” in the
Spector case. I phoned Mr. Felder numerous times – including when LA
Superior Criminal Enterprise sent foot soldiers to illegally seize my
property, and the property of others – Phil Spector, Steven Machat, and so
forth. This situation obviously relates to Phil Spector and that became
more apparent during my trial when, using an “intimidation” tactic, former
DA Steve Cooley had an investigator in the courtroom to intimidate
me. I was clear on the stand that I felt Cooley should be “taken down
legally” and investigated. I continue to believe that’s true.
One of the main points of the trial was to spin my communications (to IRS,
FBI, DOJ, US Treasury, etc. –as the prosecutor noted) into a further
propaganda blitz and drive LC’s narrative further into the public realm
while he sat there and testified about Phil Spector and one of his bullshit
good rock ‘n roll stories.”
I’ve
been studying how the Goebbel’s principles have been implemented with
respect to me. That would include prosecutor Sandra Jo Streeter’s
statements being picked up by the global media – including her blatant lies
that I was in possession of the federal tax information (1099, K-1s, and
corporate tax returns) and/or that the IRS issue was a ruse and/or that
these matters were “unsubstantiated allegations” meant to annoy and/or
harass LC.
LC’s
comments about the troubling “volume,” which sounded like something he
picked up from an amateur detective,” and “tone” were also transmitted into
the public sphere and most certainly a serious first amendment issues.
I’m reviewing the repeated themes. BTW, it’s difficult to “violate” a
restraining order when 1) Boulder Combined Court advised me (and others)
that their permanent order expired in February 2009; and, 2) I was unaware
of the California “domestic violence order” until the spring of 2013 when
the Court asked “Is Leonard Cohen your boyfriend?” based on the case
number. That was when my appeal was
nearly over. The Public Defender of
Los Angeles refused to provide my appellate attorney with the file. I have never seen such outlandish conduct
in my entire life.
Leonard
Cohen’s testimony (and the testimony of his co-conspiring
lawyers/witnesses/paid victims – Kory/Rice) was frequently unsupported by
evidence. LC was in Europe/Canada for most of 2008 through 2010 (or
in other states) so I am convinced that his carefully crafted statement
about “hearing” a car (overseas, I suppose) indicates his paranoia about
IRS/FBI. Judge Babcock, US District Court in Colorado, viewed
the tactics used against me (coordinated custody matter/LAPD SWAT) as
“thuggery.” That hardly begins to describe this situation and there
were many police departments targeting me: LAPD, Santa Monica PC, and
Boulder PD. I wasn’t harassed when I stayed with my father’s former
business partner and family in Northern NJ (from December 2008 until some
point in 2009) because they are wealthy, have attorneys, and are very
friendly with the local police who absolutely felt Cooley’s thug
investigator “Marko” issued a credible threat to me. Marko informed
me that he was the person who was going to “pick up your ass and arrest
you.” That was in 2009. Here’s my September 2009 letter to DDA
Alan Jackass:
Spector's prosecutor, former DDA Alan
Jackson, worked closely with certain blogs during Phil Spector’s trials –
including Trial & Tribulations and Michelle Blaine’s. Blaine is
the woman who stole nearly $1 million from PS, is identical to LC (a bald
faced thief and liar to quote Bruce Cutler), and worked with SG to target
my blogs and email accounts. This was posted on Sprocket’s blog
(Trial & Tribulations) following my trial. She removed “Superfon”
and “Gianelli/Blogonaut” to confuse issues with her own name – “Betsy
Ross.” See “Leonard Cohen’s Neverending Drama with Kelley Lynch”
below. This article contains an email I sent to the IRS
Commissioner’s Staff re. “Stephen Gianelli’s endless attacks on me, my
family and others, blog articles he wrote, electronic harassment, posts
online, etc. “Sprocket,” who wrote
horrendously defamatory articles about Phil Spector during his trials,
posted an email of mine to the IRS Commissioner’s Staff. She’s evidently quite close to former DDA
Alan Jackson. This is all highly
coordinated activity. Take a look at
how “Betsy Ross” embellishes the defamatory information used against me
during the 2012 trial and that is all over the worldwide web. I wasn’t released on my own recognizance
because the prosecutor lied to the Court and noted that I was a “flight
risk,” “danger to society,” and further falsely informed the Court that I
was estranged from my sons who resided in Los Angeles. She didn’t appear bothered, at that
hearing, when Cohen testified that we were in a “purely business
relationship,” confirmed that I never stole from him – “just his peace of
mind,” or falsely testified about many matters and concocted one of his
carefully crafted statements to be picked up by the news media which it
was. FYI – Stephen Gianelli and Phil
Spector’s former assistant, who stole nearly $1 million from him (and
someone, like LC, a bald faced liar and thief, as Bruce Cutler noted),
Michelle Blaine, targeted my blogs and email accounts and actually had them
shut down. She confirmed that on her
outrageously vile blog dedicated to vilifying Phil Spector and glorifying
herself. A truly repugnant cast of
characters. Stephen Gianelli also
had a best online posting buddy (which may have been himself using one of
his fake monikers), Kelly Green, who posted on the Darwin Exception in 2007
about Bruce Cutler. Kelly Green has
also targeted me online. Sprocket’s
blog, Trials & Tribulations worked closely with the Darwin Exception
and Blaine’s blog re. the Spector case, and I stumbled upon “Betsy
Ross/Sprocket” and “Michelle Blaine” posting on SG’s Blogonaut Law Blog in
2009. I attempted to refute some of
the slanderous posts but Gianelli wrote that he “heard” from Kory/Rice and
began his cyber-stalking defamation campaign with respect to me. He represents the interest of LC, argues
Phil Spector prosecution theories, sets up reasonable doubt theories that
can be refuted online by interested parties (such as Ed Lozzi, a publicist
he wrote to, copying me in; Lozzi then suggested that he would like to
write a press release about me; Lozzi is a pal of Alan Jackson and has
photographs of them together on his PR site), and has targeted everyone in
my life.
Ladies and Gentlemen – Good afternoon – I
haven’t spoken with you since last week – I think it was on Wednesday of
last week – so It’s been a week – as you know, I’m Bruce Cutler and I’ve
come here to represent Philip Spector in this very, very serious matter.
And with the court’s permission, I’d like to begin my opening remarks to
you.
Kellygreen said
The evidence will show, the evidence will show Cutler is a
fucking pig, a fucking pig!
The man really loves to repeat himself.
So much of Cutler’s OS makes me angry–but I find it truly
disgusting that he never refers to Lana Clarkson by name, he always refers
to her as the decedent–he is a fucking pig, a fucking pig.

Leonard Cohen's Neverending Drama With Kelley Lynch
[Sprocket/Betsy Ross]
UPDATED April 17th,
2012
Singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen is suing his former manager, Kelley Lynch for harassment and making death threats. Lynch is on trial for making harassing phone calls and sending thousands of E-mails. This case totally escaped my radar because it's being tried by the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office and not the LA County District Attorney. Normally, this is not the type of case I would cover on T&T, but I only mention it because of my peripheral connection to it. Lynch was arrested on March 6th, 2012 by an agency outside of California. Unable to make the $25,000.00 bail, she's been in LA County custody since her arrest. I first heard from Lynch sometime during my coverage of Phil Spector's murder trials. Not long after, I was included in a very long list of people that Ms. Lynch was E-mailing. She also started to leave comments on T&T. Puzzled as to why I was receiving these long E-mails, I did some research. In 2005, Cohen accused Lynch of misappropriating over five million dollars from his retirement fund leaving him with only $150,000.00. I do not know what she did with the money. In 2006, Cohen won a civil suit against Lynch and was awarded over $9 million dollars. I don't believe Cohen has ever recovered his stolen assets. From my understanding, it's one of the reasons he had to start touring so late in his career again. Phil Spector produced Leonard Cohen's Death of a Ladies Man (and I hate to say it because I "love" Cohen's work) an absolutely awful album. In some of the early E-mails I have, Lynch claimed to have known Spector for 25 years and worked with him at the same time as one of the prosecution witnesses, Diane Ogden. For some reason only known in Lynch's mind, she connected to the Spector trial and started E-mailing anyone who ever had even a passing connection to Spector. Sources tell me at one point she was E-mailing the LA County DA's office over 100 times a day. From the beginning, it was pretty clear to me from what I was reading in these E-mails that Lynch was either suffering from a mental illness or had a few screws loose upstairs. When I started getting up to 10 E-mails or more a day, I put a filter on my account for any E-mail address she used and let them go directly into a file labeled "NUTSO". I rarely read them and I never responded to them. One of the many E-mail's I received from Lynch is dated July 7th, 2009. A total of 35 people were also included the mailing. Besides me, Lynch included Spector's defense attorneys Doron Weinberg, Dennis Riordan; several people in the LA Co. DA's office, including DDA Alan Jackson; employees at the Department of Justice as well as the California State Bar contact E-mail; several people at the LA City Attorney's office including Rocky Delgadillo (former City Attorney); several E-mail contacts for government agencies in the State of Colorado, where I believe Lynch resided for some time. This single E-mail alone will give you an idea of what the majority of the E-mails contained. Many also included copies of supposed E-mails from others and sometimes excerpts from my T&T entries covering the Spector case. In the E-mail below Lynch is referring to another blogger besides myself. I've xx'd out the rest of the blog name to disassociate T&T from them. I've never communicated with Lynch at any time and I've never published any comments she tried to leave on T&T. QUOTE:
To the IRS
Commissioner's Staff,
What's the most "glaring" comment on Blogonaut's [Steven Gianelli’s law] Blog (which is nothing other than evidence of an extortion attempt, coercion, collusion, bribery attempts, blackmail, wire fraud, etc.)?
"albeit from a
distance and through intermediaries" - that relates to Leonard Cohen's
helping me and this is evidence of how this man functions behind the
scenes. Of course, my Mother thought he was "insane" and
"nuts" when she recalled that he came into Boulder and filed a
fraudulent restraining order against me. Then again, she knows him and sees
right through him. Even my "ex-husband" could help. Why? He has
destroyed Ray's life and inserted himself - from what I can tell - into the
Phil Spector murder fiasco and Cohen's tax fraud that I was told is
criminal. I told him I was told this and yet he and his "father"
wanted me to make what I was also told would have been an illegal deal.
I think the IRS
should be extremely interested in all of Blogonaut's communications with
Cohen, Kory, Rice, and others - including the District Attorney of Los
Angeles, Alan Jackson, and the Clarkson family.
Would the IRS
Commissioner's Staff mind advising me why you are being copied in on these
emails if you never found enough credence in my advisers assertions that
Cohen exposed me to criminal tax fraud, used me as an unwitting pawn, etc.
How about the evidence I've emailed you? The IRS is not going to file a
case against someone who has penalties and interest in the vicinity of $30
million and probable problems in Canada, abandoned green card, numerous
social security numbers, etc. I see that my "options" are more
visits to jail (all of which demand investigating and can be construed as
witness tampering and witness intimidation actually - and should), death,
the nut house - no thanks. I was already "committed" because I
mentioned the IRS and that made me "bi-polar." Of course, I
called Agent Betzer from that nut house and my call to Steven Segal is what
led the "nuts" to take me seriously. If I'm so useless to
everyone as a witness then how come every single person I talk to thinks
Cohen should have been arrested and Phil Spector has been set up? Blogonaut
probably knows that destruction of evidence is criminal so if he received
"communications" from my former con-artist friends in Lost
Angeles he should save that information. Boies Schiller was very clear with
me about this.
Well, my Mother wants
me to marry Bruce Cutler so I hope a future judge doesn't get too mad at
her. She also wondered if the FBI Duty Agent I'm not arguing with is
single. If I'm not "delusional" than I'm just obstinate. Why is
Belark defending Lana Clarkson? I didn't call her gay but my emails and
postings have been "tampered" with - including my
"hints" to the FBI which were absolutely satirical and sarcastic
because I think these people are positively nuts.
Does the IRS
Commissioner's Staff think impersonating Bruce Cutler is a joke? How about
if I impersonate a lawyer from the IRS? Is that a joke? What about the
death threat to Nat McBride? Is that a joke? Belark, Gianelli, and possibly
others have clearly set out to intimidate Rutger and, I believe, engaged in
"witness retaliation." So have a number of "law enforcement
officers."
Belark's article is
wonderful and sober? Why? It is one long lie. Why hasn't my family
interceded? My family thinks Boulder PD has targeted me; they are horrified;
they believe Phil Spector was set up; cannot understand how Cohen has
gotten away with his criminal conduct for so long; believe Cohen perjured
himself in Phil Spector's murder trial; and are concerned for my welfare.
Why hasn't Cohen been "arrested" for defrauding me of millions. I
reported this to the District Attorney's office and they know there is
evidence they can review - on public record with the Boulder Municipal
Court. I know why - because he's there "witness" against Phil Spector
and shows up in their legal documents even though he had to have changed
the story he told the detectives I met.
The IRS
Commissioner's Staff, or the Department of Justice, should definitely get
in touch with Boulder PD to see why I've been reported. Also, because the
District Attorney, Police Chief, Attorney General, and others refuse to
explain why "Storbeck" rolled into Deneuve Construction perhaps
that could be investigated as well.
Ann Diamond's not a
sympathetic reporter but she sure sees through Cohen - as all the emails
she wrote me (that I supplied to the IRS - with her full knowledge,
awareness, understanding, and permission) clearly set forth. In fact, she
thinks he's capable of murder from what I could tell.
[According to
Gianelli’s public posts, testimony during my 2012 trial, LC’s VIS,
etc.]: the feds are onto me and the
feds are being used in an intimidation attempt and to threaten me.
What does it mean
that if I decide to privately and quietly straighten my life out ... they
would leave me alone. That means, to me, that if I stop insisting that I
was TOLD Cohen committed criminal tax fraud, and call Cohen for help, they
will stop demanding that Boulder PD arrest me and they will stop lying to
the FBI in Oakland. My Mother said they went to the FBI because I did. I
went to the FBI about conduct that crosses state borders - and, in particular,
official misconduct and law enforcement misconduct that crosses state
borders. I went to the IRS (much to my eternal dismay) about Cohen and his
tax fraud that I was told is criminal. Hey, I could pretty much be back to
a normal life. Why? Are they going to rebuild my former house and undo all
the damage they've done? Will Ray have a second childhood?
I still think
"Samuel" is connected to the Lost Angeles District Attorney of
Jackson but can't say for certain. Sounds like Kory also - the
"threat" perceived when someone stops by a law office unannounced
with a "witness" - albeit naively. Nuff said. It's witness
tampering with a minor and big time - because it evolved into a kidnapping.
I've never claimed to send Bruce Cutler an email but he didn't send me one
authorizing Belark, Gianelli, Blogonaut, et al., to speak on his behalf or
communicate his views about me to me. Fortunately, they now know that Bruce
Cutler and I agree - he's not representing me and I'm waiting for Phil
Spector. What's so creepy about my possibly wanting to have sex with Bruce
Cutler? I know lots of men that want to have sex with me.
Leonard Cohen may not
have been the best father. His drug use was for depression. He drank too
much. Time for the violin solo. He's not bragging though and he has
admitted this to the world who he apparently views as his confessional
while his "fans" are his "constituents." If I were an
FBI profiler I would say he has delusions of grandeur.
Anyway, not certain
what Belark was attempting to prove by posting everyone copied in on my
emails - except that he knows who is copied in and understands this is
deadly serious. Do you think Betsy Superfon (Note: I do
not know who "Betsy Superfon" is. It's not me. Sprocket.) was
trying to "help" me when she was negotiating with Cohen/Kory, on
my behalf, without my knowledge, permission, awareness, or authorization? I
don't. I think it's incredibly sinister. How about Peter/Jacob Falconey?
Isn't it funny that he impersonated a federal agent and told me that the
battlefield is Rutger's life? I guess he was trying to help me. Of course,
I don't know him but Lindsey told Douglas Penick that he really came to my
former house to find out what was going on with Cohen's tax fraud matter
and I filed a field report with S&MPD about the fact that he was
following me. He followed me on more than one occasion and was watching me.
Fortunately, they haven't dragged the Gambinos into this yet. Every time
someone can't refute a position they bring up John Gotti or the Gambinos
from what I can tell. Bruce Cutler's office did not advise me that we were
going to have a problem but I did receive a fax in response to the faxes I
sent Mr. Cutler - documenting what I had been going through and including
certain "evidence" with that.
Does the IRS really
believe that Bruce Cutler doesn't know how to handle me? Anyway, do so or
"shut up" is fairly fascinating. I hope Blogonaut doesn't get a
restraining order (fraudulent, of course) against the IRS. I saw that
Craig's List attempted to get one against the Attorney General and thought
it shouldn't be too long before the "government" realizes just
how unconstitutional these rotten shabby tactics are because it won't be
able to move.
I think Bill Pavelic
is reading my emails because I thought his response about the "Swedish
woman" was really frightening - although it does remind me of my
matter and the District Attorney's tactics. Of my God - they advised Bruce
Cutler that I wanted to have sex with him. "Bait" comes to mind.
I'm glad I left him a message giving him a head's up about this
"ploy."
I'm not under the
impression that Bruce Cutler still represents Phil Spector. He quit the
trial and Phillip said the judge targeted him. I am under the impression
that people with "motive" want to pierce attorney/client
privilege between Phillip and Mr. Cutler and I saw this coming a million
miles away and over a year ago. Talking to the police in Boulder is enough
to turn into physical abuse (their part) and lies. I don't have a case and
I understand that? They obviously haven't heard the last of Kelley Lynch.
Now Bruce Cutler has betrayed me? That's why I said he will end up
representing Cohen and Clarkson if these nuts keep it up.
Let me advise the IRS
of something I witnessed: Leonard Cohen does not have competent legal
counsel in Beverly Hills. Kory is insane, told me there is fraud on every
entity, they were going after all the advisers, I have a cause of action
against every single adviser of Cohen's, the holding periods were illegal,
Superfon was communicating with him, they hold Greenberg and Westin
primarily responsible, etc. He told the "waitress" that we were
there about a "divorce" and discussing the tax consequences.
Sound familiar? Do you know what 50% of Cohen's community property is
worth? Probably not - he doesn't properly declare anything and disdains
ordinary income taxes. Ken Cleveland told me not to even mention Robert
Kory and also thought Anjani Thomas was involved with much of what happened
to me.
They called my bluff
and called Bruce Cutler? Oh no they did not. I actually thought that
"call" would end up coming from the District Attorney of Lost
Angeles but "Gianelli" beat them to the "punch line.."
I see right through these people, I see right through their tactics, and I
think they are idiots who underestimate everyone.
Here's my position on
my "legal background" - it is evidence that I have been targeted
by law enforcement. It is evidence, to me, of witness tampering and worse.
I hardly had a parking ticket prior to this bullshit - including the SWAT
team. Maybe the IRS can figure out the Inglewood PD angle - particularly
now that they are under investigation.
Cohen's views that we
were lovers are evidence to me that the man is still obsessed with me and
he is delusional. I wasn't his business manager and he won nothing. I have
no intention of setting the judgment aside - I am using that as evidence of
the lengths Cohen went to in order to cover up what I was told and believe
is criminal conduct. Here are the issues raised by John Southard's extremely
competent attorneys:
Jurisdiction
Civil Issues -
relating to my being defrauded
Custody Matter
The rest of the
insanity was a no brainer - particularly to the former Attorney General of
New Jersey who absolutely ended up telling me to go get Bruce Cutler.
Bye,
Kelley
END QUOTE
If I had known about this case, I would have scheduled my trip back east another time because it would have been interesting from a voyeuristic point of view to see the evidence against Lynch, not to mention see Cohen testify on the stand. My thoughts and prayers are with Leonard Cohen. I do hope Cohen is successful with the prosecution but I don't know if it will stop Lynch's behavior in the future if she is eventually released from custody. UPDATE April 10th, 2012 The LA Times has a short update on the trial in their LA Now Blog. Apparently Cohen took the stand again on Monday, going into more detail about Lynch's harassment. I do know that Lynch also left long rambling voice mail messages at the offices of John Taylor at Taylor & Ring, the Clarkson family attorney, that would use up all the available message time. There were many others that told me they were harassed, but asked that their names not be mentioned in the off chance that Lynch would read T&T, see their name and start the E-mailing campaign again. UPDATE APRIL 14th, 2012 Latest news from the Los Angeles Times is, Lynch was convicted an all eight charges. Her next court appearance is April 17th, 2012 when she is expected to be sentenced. UPDATE APRIL 17th, 2012 Lynch was sentenced to 18 months behind bars. LA Times NOW has the details of the sentence. Leonard Cohen Wikipedia New York Times The Sun, UK
LABELS: JOHN TAYLOR, KELLEY LYNCH, LEONARD COHEN, PHIL SPECTOR
So,
as you know, I served – among other roles although most certainly not LC’s
business manager (in the US a CPA, someone who audits, etc.) - as
LC’s PR Agent, reviewed all press from my “press clipping service,” and
know that LC studied articles/reviews/blogs/etc. about himself – furiously,
at times – see Hollywood Reporter article/response. This is a highly
coordinated propaganda blitz, with many components and themes – including IRS/Phil
Spector – but why do you believe LC would respond to my email advising him
to stop threatening me, my elderly parents, etc? with a poem and then
provide that to Maclean’s? Also, Rinpoche, why do you think LC wanted
the “readers” to think I had lost my friends and no one cared about
me? Clearly a bald faced lie.
A
story in the Hollywood Reporter -- announcing Cohen's
participation in the project -- expressed surprise that a Zen Buddhist had
been chosen, instead of a Tibetan Buddhist like Richard Gere. Cohen quickly
sent a letter of protest, saying 'my father and mother, of blessed memory,
would have been disturbed by the Reporter's description of me as a
Buddhist. I am a Jew. For some time now, I have been intrigued by the
indecipherable ramblings of an old Zen monk. Not long ago he said,
"Cohen, I have known you for 23 years and I never tried to give you my
religion. I just poured you sake." Saying that, he filled my cup with
sake. I bowed my head and raised my cup to him crying out, "Rabbi, you
are surely the Light of the Generation."' I was present when LC
read the Hollywood Report article and responded. Joshu Sasaki
Roshi was not a “Rabbi” and I tend to doubt, unless Cohen was smashed and
high on drugs, this encounter occurred. Why would Roshi’s teachings
be “indecipherable.” Well, LC’s comments in Armelle Brusq’s “Spring
1996” film, about his PR backdrop period on Mt. Baldy where he was not in a
“retreat” and did not reside there, give some hints. LC has a serious
problem with “holy men.” Please watch these two segments form the
video and listen to how Leonard Cohen discusses his teacher and other “holy
men.” It’s bizarre, deranged, evidence of great jealousy (which I
witnessed for years), and hostile:
Leonard Cohen on Mt. Baldy
Leonard
Cohen reading “Roshi at 89” – he was working on material for “Book of
Mercy,” his live and studio albums, lithographs, and so forth. I arranged
the interview with the “Shambhala Sun.” While on “retreat,” LC was
also sending materials to his fan website. The intellectual property, as confirmed in corporate records and many legal documents, belongs to Blue Mist Touring Company, Inc. and Old Ideas, LLC, that LC had his corporate/tax lawyer form as a partnership for federal tax purposes. I have an ownership interest in those corporations, the other entities, and these federal tax matters will be litigated and an "accounting" demanded from the representatives of the Estate of Leonard Cohen, trustee Robert Kory, and his law partner, Michelle Rice, who represents the trustee. The co-conspirating law firm of Kory/Rice, LLP continues to benefit financially from targeting me and each of them has submitted an entirely perjured declaration to LA Superior Court expanding upon their preposterous, obscene, and absurd narrative worthy of a very rotten fiction writer. Why LC would hire them is a question many people have asked.
ROSHI AT 89
Roshi's very tired
he's lying on his bed
He's been living with the living
and dying with the dead
But now he wants another drink
(will wonders never cease?)
He's making war on war
and he's making war on peace
He's sitting in the throne-room
on his great Original Face
and he's making war on Nothing
that has something in its place
His stomach's very happy
the prunes are working well
There's no one going to Heaven
and there's no one left in Hell
Pico Iyer has assisted Leonard Cohen in become a "religious sage" on the global stage. As Roshi informed Cohen, "religion sells" nd Cohen clearly understood how to use "religion." Roshi was an authentic teacher and his statements should not be taken out of context. Why the Hollywood Reporter would view Roshi as a "Rabbi," unless they thought LC was stark raving mad, high on drugs, or thoroughly smashed on Chateau Latour, is beyond my ability to comprehend. Leonard Cohen was a Buddhist the entire time I knew him, ordained as a Buddhist monk in 1996, never really in "retreat," and someone who may have finally attended Temple after we parted ways in 2004 due to his aggressive conduct and outrageous demands. Leonard Cohen's interviews, work itself, and other information proves for a fact that he was never in retreat and used that as a cover story and backdrop. LC permanently left Mt. Baldy, where he stayed from time to time in a two-room cabin (frequently visiting LA as he confirmed for journalists to see his daughter and me). I have been defrauded of my interests in corporations and commissions due me. When a celebrity is involved, LA Superior Court evidently thinks "slave labor" is lawful. The Court failed to obtain jurisdiction over me or the corporations. Gianelli is now posting defamatory statements online in order to elicit information about what attorney might possibly represent me. That would be attorney/client privileged information and not something a criminal stalker is entitled to know.
Journalist Pico Iyer, a devotee of LC’s, is explaining why he views Leonard Cohen as his “hero.” Pico Iyer is one of the reasons LC is now viewed as a religious sage on the world stage. Mr. Iyer, of course, lies about me in this speech so his credibility and integrity is at issue.
Why is Leonard Cohen viewed as a
“religious sage” on the world stage?
Pico
Iyer on Leonard Cohen:
Some
years ago, I drove up to the high, cold dark mountains behind Los Angeles.
Pulled
into a rough parking lot.
Stooped
man, tattered black robes, and woolen cap.
Gave
me a deep ceremonial bow.
Insisted
on carrying my things.
Cooked
me dinner.
Asked
if I needed a wife.
It
took me a while to realize that this ragged monk was my hero since boyhood,
the great singer and poet, LC, who had been celebrated for thirty years for
his beautiful suits, glamorous girlfriends .. LC is the last word in
cool ... he decided to spend 5-1/2 years NOT 5-1/2 minutes, NOT 5-1/2 months BUT 5-1/2 years living as a zen monk, shoveling snow,
scrubbing floors, an most of all tending to the then 88 year old Japanese
head of Mt. Baldy Zen center.
One
night, VERY LATE, he came down into my cabin and told me that just sitting
stsill being unplugged, looking after his friends, was the real deep
entertainment that the world had to offer, the most profound and voluptuous
and delicious excitement that he had ever found.
This
is not what I wanted to hear.
He
had been my hero since boyhood ... because of his romantic lifestyle,
constant travels, and worldly and hugely successful songs. He had
tasted all the pleasures that sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll had to
offer. And yet, there was no doubting his sincerity, his kindness,
and his attentiveness.
I have met a lot of interesting people in my 32 years as a journalist
and
I had never met anybody so gracious, so humble, so articulate, and so funny
as LC.
Before
we end -
I'd
love to return to our man on the mountain, LC.
After
his 5-1/2 years as a monk, he came back into central LA
only
to find that in his absence somebody had made off with all the millions
that
he had earned over 45 years, everything he was planning to give to his
daughter and son.
And
so at the grand old age of 73, he went on tour again and over the next six
years he gave more than 300 concerts everywhere from Turkey to Australia.
Just near the beginning of the tour, I went to see him, down the road heret the Nokia.
He
was riveting. He ran into stage. He sang for more than three
hurs. He kneeled down before his fellow musicians. And most of
all he commanded the space with his power, with his whispers, even with his
silences.
Many
people said, at the end of the concert, that it was the greatest
His
five years of sitting still had released in him - energy, movement,
intimacy and depth.
Four
years later - I was staying JW Marriot - one morning I walked to
Starbucks to get my Awake Tea... I heard LC grumbling on the Soundtrack
singing "from then new album Old Ideas" - album of the week at
SB. OI went to No. 1 in charts in 17 nations. Hallelujah
quickest downloaded single in European history. H. was No. 1, 2, and
34 on the UK charts.
He
had become the Prince of Fashion once again.
Two
days after turning 80, last September, new album released. Working on a
new one.
Much
more important:
If
you go and visit him in the very modest house he shares with his daughter
and granddaughter, you will meet the kindest father and grandfather and host that you can imagine. He radiates a sense of happiness, wisdom,
and peace that I think are what we mean when we talk about success.
I see Pico Iyer is unaware that LC was in fact aware the he was a journalist and was a shrewd manipulator of his image.
Here is attorney Alan Dershowitz’s Counter Claim in a defamation suit against him. He has raised issues related to “litigation protected perjury” as well. The Court developed argument that one can “litigation protection” defamation, perjury, fraud, and other misconduct is a disturbing trend. The “litigation protection” arose to protect lawyers in court from defamation suits. The legislative intent was clearly not to protect civil and criminal misconduct and create Press Releases that are then sold by the Courts themselves.
Alan
Dershowitz attempting to address “litigation protected” defamation, perjury,
and fraud:
Leonard
Cohen conducted his interviews at Mt. Baldy. He did not reside there
and was frequently in LA visiting with me and his daughter as he informed
other journalists. Leonard Cohen permanently left Mt. Baldy by
November/December 1998. By February 1999, he was in India studying
with Ramesh Balsekar. Here’s an excerpt of an email Douglas Penick
sent someone re. the “Tibetan Book of the Dead,” his and my work on that
project, his lack of enthusiasm for Leonard Cohen, and his confirmation
that LC “severed his association with Roshi in 1998.” This led,
together with LC’s conduct towards me and others, Lamasang to conclude that
LC was an “asshole going to hell.” Somehow Lamasang’s statement, as a
teacher, regarding LC was used against me to prove my “intent” to annoy LC
and/or harass him. I think that sums up the legal system, prosecution
team, and the California PC 653m that targets the “content of one’s speech”
and allow prosecutors to lie extensively about one’s intent.” Intent
evidently converts speech into conduct. Not sure I can follow that
logic which sounds dubious and rotten. Fortunately, these “annoyance”
statutes are being overturned and have been in Colorado, NJ, New York …
This is Douglas speaking about the “Tibetan Book of the Dead” project” LC informed
me he would narrate as a “gift” for me. I hope he studied it
well. It was actually my “gift” to
LC.
This occurred when His Holiness Kusum Lingpa and others was in residence at Orgyen Khachod Ling and/or at my home in Brentwood. I suppose this project also propelled LC into the realm of worldwide “religious sage.” LC died when he fell in the night. He was obsessed with me, and lied about me, until the moment of his death. In or around the fall of 2016, he was once again meeting with LAPD’s misogynist, sycophantic “celebrity unit” who appear to have been involved in matters related to me (IRS, Phil Spector) for years. I think their reports about me, filled with fraud, expose how they feel about women, mothers, wives, and daughters – not as professional business women but rather as “whores” to celebrities they have an “expectation of affection” for. Deeply disturbing. Please read Rutger’s and Ray’s declarations. They have been submitted to the Court. Also my mother’s and others at these links. Very relevant and important evidence related to the truth behind this “campaign” to utterly destroy me. The federal court system viewed my RICO suit as “frivolous.” Would you please review this Rinpoche. I would like to hear what your conclusions are. One of Penor Rinpoche’s Khenpo’s concluded that, based upon the logic of judge’s who have ruled against me, that these individuals could prove the Buddha himself was a liar due to rotten logic and the embellishment of fraudulent narratives and lies.
Rutger’s Declaration
Ray’s
Declaration -
part of this PDF file related to further Gianelli harassment of me, my
former roommates, and his attempt to have my evidence delivered by Ray
Lawrence to LC’s lawyers. My lawyer thought this was a conspiracy to
destroy evidence. He also felt the prosecutor engaged in criminal
obstruction of justice. This individual, my lawyer, was harassed by
Gianelli over a year, wrote that my 2012 trial was an IRS matter that
demanded an IRS investigation, and informed me that the appellate panel
(that rubber stamps LA Superior Court decisions, verdicts, and so forth –
frequently obtained through the use of fraud/perjury) really does
nothing. It does expand and sanitize narratives that are then posted
online in their decisions – another element of the propaganda campaign.
Leonard
Cohen and his lawyers threatened journalist Ann Diamond over her article
“Whatever Happened to Kelley Lynch.” They did not want one truthful
statement or fact to be revealed. Ann's original article was entirely factual with a few inaccuracies: LC attempted to change my mailing address to his home address in LA (a complaint was filed with the USPS). I iwas never LC's "lover" although Ann read that in many articles. I was His Holiness Kusum Lingpa's personal assistant - not the personal assistant of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. I am His Holiness Kusum Lingpa's lineage holder and chos kyi dags mo and intend to litigation the defamatory attack on that institution in due course. It is unconscionable.

Diamond on Stephen Gianelli who has targeted her as well.
Ann Diamond on Stephen Gianelli
June 25, 2015
When Stephen
Gianelli’s emails land in my inbox, mostly out of the blue and unsolicited,
they are so overflowing with repetitive accusations, misinformation, threats,
self-aggrandizing boasts, undiluted rage, and general nastiness that it's next
to impossible to read to the end of one of them. My impulse is always to ignore
them and tell him to stop sending them. That he seems to have unlimited
energy and endless time to go over all
these details with someone he does not know in an attempt to win me over, while
at the same time he constantly accuses me of having an ancient axe to grind
with Cohen (i.e. I'm a hopeless case, as far as he's concerned, so he's barking
furiously up the wrong tree), would under normal circumstances be a sign of
mental imbalance.
He always
throws in plenty of insults, false statements and fanciful deductions. His tone
is that of a pitbull straining at the leash and gives me flashbacks of a
courtroom where I’m being cross-examined by a vicious criminal lawyer whose
whole strategy is to exhaust and terrorize the witness. Gianelli’s game is to
complicate and obfuscate, mixing legal arguments with irrelevant nonsense. He
seems to assume his opponent is stupid and weak and can be overwhelmed by a
word-salad. I think some of this could be caused by his overuse of "copy
and paste" -- he's in a hurry and
not really writing "to me" or trying to make a persuasive argument.
He doesnt reread his emails to see what kind of message they actuall convey:
that the writer is standing on some soapbox in his mind, shouting at the world,
like certain mental patients you see walking the streets who seem to be mad at
the air, the cars, the sidewalk.
He's
obviously not interested in holding a discussion, getting to the truth, or
looking beyond the various documents he "downloaded at his own
expense" -- and as anyone with
common sense knows, legal documents don't prove what really happened in
2004-5. They convey some of the
evidence, all of it coming from one side.
Gianelli's
explanation as to why he's been out to get Kelley Lynch since 2008, does not
make sense either. He claims she slandered him and called him names on the
internet, and in revenge he has totally immersed himself in her legal case. To
the point of contacting her relatives and friends, spreading false stories about
her, making up quotes, “visiting her in jail”, posting photes of her residence
and roommates on his blog – for the past seven years. Nobody in their right
mind, let alone a 'successful trial lawyer' -- who has no material interest in
this case, and is not a paid shill -- behaves like this. It's not just
extremely unprofessional, it would land him on 'stress leave' or in serious
trouble with his colleagues and peers if he were still practicing. Hiding
behind the handle Blogonaut would not conceal his identity for long, especially
not on the porous internet. His badly written and often illogical, emotional
rants would embarrass and bring him close to
professional suicide.
But
apparently since he's retired, and apparently well-off, and lives in a comfortable
tax haven on Crete, he doesn't seem to care and just indulges his childish
fantasies and catty remarks with his tiny circle of cronies. It’s fairly obvious he uses
alternate accounts and different IDs, e.g. “Mongochili,” to make it appear
others read his blog and share his ‘obcession’ with Lynch. His sheer extremism
indicates he is either a “rogue criminal lawyer” gone slightly postal, or a
paid agent of Leonard Cohen and/or his legal team. I think the latter.
I think his
over-the-top campaign will have the opposite effect than the one intended: it
can only make people suspicious of the case against Kelley Lynch. Otherwise,
why not let justice take its course? Why subject her to endless attacks over
the internet if she has already been declared guilty? This kind of harassment
resembles 'gang stalking' -- except that Gianelli seems to be both the leader
and most of the membership of his own gang.
Gianelli is
like no other email correspondent I have ever had. A single-paragraph response
from my end always leads to a flood from his. Each exchange is like a trip down
a rabbithole of irrational rage. Here
and there he mixes in details and facts which might be worth discussing, if
they weren’t drowned by high-volume invective. Of course this could be a tactic: if he really was ever a successful trial
lawyer, it may have been by being an insufferable bully. Or maybe most of his
cases involved low-life criminals or people with little or no education.
He claims to
have accurately predicted the outcome of every Lynch hearing -- but then so
could I. As we all know, cases are won on technicalities. That's one of the
reasons, including the 10-year series of precedents, that I am not surprised
the judge dismissed Kelley's motion.
If Gianelli
were truly a respectable lawyer, he would restrict his comments to these legal
matters, and not engage in bizarre slander and speculation. He would have no
need to bring up my "past" - or a wacked version of it that sounds
like it came from someone on Cohen's didinfo team. He draws from a
psychological profile that is easily recognizable because I have heard it from
other Cohen groupies. As someone who saw a bit too much when I knew Cohen, I’m
no stranger to slander, I've written out my story on a public blog etc. where
anyone can read what I have to say. Much of what I have written on Cohen was
initially to defend myself against gossip and rumours that were circulated (and
believed) by some of his friends. My side is completely different, much more
detailed and accurate. It's also quite revealing of the life of a clever pop
idol in our celebrity-worshiping culture. There's no point in my arguing with
people who base their opinions on ridiculous myths, like the 'restraining
order' that never was. Cohen's deceptive tactics have not really evolved in the
past twenty years, since he used them on me.
I really
don't care if Gianelli thinks I am a star-struck 'scorned woman' who never got
over her passing encounter with greatness. This Mafia-style lawyer's fixed
opinions, based on trashy clichés say much more about him than they do about me
or my writing, or why I became interested in what really happened to Kelley
Lynch.
And of
course, no one would ever suspect Leonard Cohen of encouraging Gianelli. But in
my experience, Gianelli is exactly the kind of human megaphone Cohen places in
charge of his 'secret business.' Like other clowns from Cohen's private
entourage that I have met over the years, he may not even realize he's being
used because he is ridiculous and therefore disposable. It's a fascinating
system that owes much to the criminal underworld that Leonard Cohen skirts with
all the skill of someone born into it. I'm sure Gianelli feels at home, and
knows his place, in that world where he acts the part of a useful idiot whose
job is to create a circus atmosphere and put the audience into a deeper state
of trance.
I am by now
firmly convinced Lynch is a patsy/victim of a weird consortium of Cohen
associates, clueless supporters, and Cohen himself. If I hadn't lived next door
to Leonard Cohen, and witnessed similar dynamics twenty years ago, I might
believe differently. But the essence of what happened to Kelley also happened
to me, two decades ago, on a lesser scale with lower stakes. It was relatively
easy for me to walk away from it back then – my reputation was damaged but my
life was not utterly destroyed by my association with Leonard Cohen, as
Kelley's was.
I empathize
with her situation, and see it as just one more story of the corruption that is
sinking the whole world. I know Leonard Cohen would agree with that. He would
only disagree with the idea that we all have an obligation to oppose injustice,
rather than 'let it go by' and even profit from it.

According
to Buddhist scholar and translator Robert Thurman (father of Uma), The Tibetan Book of the
Dead,
or Bardo
Thodol, “organizes the experiences of the
between—(Tibetan, bar-do) usually referring to the state
between death and rebirth.” While The Book of the Dead has,
of course, a long and illustrious history in Tibetan Buddhist life, it also
has its place in the history of the West, particularly among
20th century intellectuals and artists. In the 1950s, for example,
there was talk among Igor Stravinsky, Martha Graham, and Aldous Huxley to
turn the Bardo into a ballet with a Greek chorus. Huxley,
who famously spent his final hours on an acid trip, asked that a passage
from the book be read to him as he lay dying: “Hey! Noble one, you named
Aldous Huxley! Now the time has come for you to seek the way….”
In
another, less trippy, example of Eastern mysticism meets Western artist,
the video above (continued below) features poet and troubadour Leonard
Cohen narrating a two-part documentary
series from 1994 that explores the ancient Tibetan
teachings on death and dying. As Cohen tells it above, in Tibetan
tradition, the time spent in the between supposedly lasts 49 days after a
person’s death. During that time, a Buddhist yogi reads the Bardo each
day, while the consciousness of the dead person, so it is believed, hovers
between one life and another, and can hear the instructions read to him or
her. The film gives us an intimate look at this ceremony, performed after
the death of a villager---with its intricate rituals and ancient, unbound,
hand-printed text of the book---and touches on the tricky political issues
of Buddhist practice in largely Chinese-controlled Tibet. In this first
installment above, The Tibetan Book of the Dead: A Way of Life,
the Dalai Lama weighs in with his own views on life and death (at 33:22).
Before his appearance, the film provides some brief context of his supposed
incarnation from the 13th Dalai Lama and his rise to governance, then
exile.
The
second installment of the series, The Great Liberation (also
above), follows an old Buddhist lama and a thirteen-year-old novice monk as
they guide another deceased person with the text of the Bardo.
The National Film Board of Canada, who produced the series (you can
purchase the DVD on their website),
did well in their choice of Cohen as narrator. Not only is his deep,
soothing voice the kind of thing you might want to hear reading to you as
you slipped into the between realms (or just slipped off to sleep),
but his
own journey has brought him to an abiding appreciation for Buddhism.
Although Cohen has always identified strongly with Judaism—incorporating
Jewish themes and texts into his songs and poetry—he found refuge in Zen
Buddhism late in life. Two years after this film, he was ordained as a Zen Buddhist monk at age 62, at the
Mount Baldy Zen Center east of Los Angeles (where Ram Dass,
Oliver Stone, and Richard Gere also practiced). Cohen's "Dharma
name"? Jikan, or “Silent One.”
I
don’t believe my response, including in my emails (that His Holiness Kusum
Lingpa told me to use to document everything with witnesses copied as
Rutger informed my ambulance chasers during the 2012 trial), were all that
bitter or scattered. I have been the victim of an extreme propaganda
campaign, legal warfare, psyop techniques (including dragging me to Killer
King and drugging me involuntarily), and egregious misconduct on the part
of others. Leonard Cohen’s poetic quote was his response to my
advising him (as did my lawyers in formal letters transmitted to his
lawyers) to stop threatening me and my family members – including my
elderly mother who was present when LC picked up his entire archives, all
files (including every one of my business and personal files in my offices,
and my furniture. Leonard Cohen lived post-humously and would like
all of this studied by scholars and others. He’s quite clear about
that in quotes included in the “Fact Check Kelley Lynch site,” probably
created by LC, his representatives – including “Stephen Gianelli,” and
“Gianelli” brought it to my attention. Please read this
self-conscious introduction and note the references to my being “energized
in some demonic way” the judicial horror system I’ve been victimized by
(and the judges themselves have indeed lied about me and many issues), and
one thing is clear: in order to prevail in this court “system” one
must lie, cheat, steal, and commit “fraud upon the court” to prevail.
Otherwise, the Courts will expand upon the fraudulent narratives before
them and, before you know it, one of their expert “quacks” will be
harassing you. I would also like you to review LC’s nearly
psychotic VIS lying about me, IRS, many other issues, and essentially
concluding that I am a practitioner of “dark arts.” This is a repeated
“theme” of LC’s Goebbel’s propaganda campaign against me.
Rinpoche,
please review these posts on riverdeepbook.blogspot.com.
This post is my response to someone who asked an excellent question about
LC’s views on my being a student of Tibetan Buddhism.
And
then, there are two posts detailing entertainment projects I am involved
with. One is a proposal from former members of FSB’s Alpha Unit to
CIA. I now serve as Stanislav’s
and Pavel’s personal managers with respect to this project. This is a
letter I prepared and sent to CIA Director Gina Haspel with respect to this
project called “Captured on the Bridge” which is truly fascinating although
reminds one of the “Cold War” which is once again occurring. Michelle Rice's declaration attempted to argue that I am a "Russian agent," in keeping with news items these days, when in fact I represent two former members of FSB's Alpha Unit in an entertainment project - as a personal manager - and am co-producer of a documentary on Phil Spector's case and the Russian "Litvenenko" case. Rice & Co. will lie about anything and everything.
The
second project, which is a documentary on the Phil Spector/Litvenenko cases
(as well as the justice system in the west), is one I am co-producing with
Steven Machat and Stanislav Stankevich, my client on the “Captured” project. Steven Machat represents Stanislav’s
wife, a Russian singer and amazing woman and mother. I also know Olga Stankevich and she’s
wonderfully talented.
This
is a website thrown up around the time the City Attorney targeted me again
in December 2016. It contains quotes
from LC about me and his lawyers and is a site that displays LC’s unreal
defense to the allegations he committed civil and criminal tax fraud, using
an army of lawyers and other professionals, as well as the tactics used
against me. The site asks the
readers to contact Michelle Rice with questions about me. I don’t know her but in Court she has been
aggressive, vulgar, hostile, and her writing style is pure romance novel
fiction with a touch of fabricated “violence” for effect. For the record, we don't have a legal system. It now resembles a criminal enterprise, engaged in racketeering, per RICO. Many Americans are tired of this system and have demanded change as our representatives understand all too well.
Introduction to the Litigation
between Kelley Lynch and Leonard Cohen
Why
I Am Publishing This Site
I
started this website for three reasons. I am a Leonard Cohen fan, I have
long archived articles and reviews about Leonard, and I have a legal
background which made me curious about the extensive legal proceedings
between Cohen and his former manager Lynch. But what began as a personal
interest in my favorite singer-songwriter's legal plight turned into an
illustration of what we sometimes see in our American judicial system, a
kind of never-ending horror story. This website offers a record of the
legal nightmare Leonard Cohen, and his lawyers, have quietly endured since
2005, almost twelve years as of this writing.
Prior to his recent death, Leonard asked that my website be made open to the public. He did so for two reasons. First, he wanted the truth about his battles with Lynch to be easily available to scholars. Second, he wanted to direct anyone interested in the Lynch saga to his primary litigation lawyer, Michelle Rice, so that any reporting about Lynch would be accurate. Michelle drafted almost all the court documents filed on Leonard's behalf in multiple courts around the country and developed all the legal strategies for Leonard since 2005. She recovered Leonard's property (i.e. notebooks, letters, etc.) from Lynch in 2005, obtained a $7.3 million judgment for Leonard in 2006, won legal mal-practice arbitration in 2006, recovered additional funds from Leonard's investment advisers in Colorado in 2008, and renewed the Leonard Cohen's judgment against Lynch in 2016 for $14 million. During this period, Rice also protected Leonard against Lynch's menacing and disturbing harassment. Michelle obtained restraining orders in California in 2005 and Colorado in 2008. Lynch avoided prosecution until 2012 by moving around the country and harassing Leonard from long distance. Finally, in late 2011, Michelle found Lynch in northern California and ultimately had Lynch arrested and prosecuted in 2012 for harassment of Leonard in California based on enforcement of the Colorado restraining order. This strategy was nothing short of brilliant given California and Colorado law, and Lynch received a 5-year sentence and served 9 months in jail. Unfortunately, the saga continues. Lynch has vowed to continue her fight against Leonard's estate and continues to harass Leonard's lawyers.
A Thank You from Leonard
Prior
to his death, Leonard was concerned that Rice was not properly thanked and
appreciated for her work on his behalf. You will see in his Witness Statement,
made in connection with Lynch's first criminal conviction in 2012, that
Leonard told the Court:
Shortly before his death, as it became clear that Leonard Cohen's former manager Lynch would try to evade the restraining order once again, and Michelle Rice initiated another prosecution against Lynch in order to protect Leonard and his family, Leonard provided the following addition for posting on this site:
The
U.S. legal system goes to great lengths to accommodate those who seek
redress for wrongs committed against them. The wrongdoer cannot escape his
actions by failing to respond to plaintiff's complaint. At the same time,
the courts strive to make certain all proceedings are fair. If a litigant
cannot afford the court costs, fees are waived. If a party is
unrepresented, the courts take special care to make certain their rights
are protected, and in criminal cases, to provide lawyers. Litigants can
appeal a judgment through the court system and/or seek redress in another
court more suited to hear their claim. Further, even though a judgment is
final, the losing party can attack that judgment under certain court rules,
and can file numerous motions long after a judgement has been obtained. All
this means that the certainty of that final judgment may take a long time
to achieve. Leonard Cohen's ex-manager Lynch has availed herself of all of
these strengths of the American legal system.
The American judicial system generally works because certain assumptions are made about the parties that seek redress. The courts assume that the parties' claims have some legitimacy which can be proven with evidence and are not frivolous accusations put forth simply to exact revenge. The courts assume that the parties will respect the court system in which they are seeking redress. When judges issue orders, the courts assume those orders will not be ignored or disregarded simply because a party finds them unfavorable. Finally, the legal system assumes that the parties are rational and will act rationally, and that in the case of a bad action by a party in a civil case, a financial sanction will cause the offending party to follow a court order or rule. Unfortunately, when a party defies the assumptions made by the judicial system, the legal process turns into a version of Groundhog Day, but without the humor. The American judicial system is made up of dispassionate rules and procedures. It is not equipped to fully deal with vengeful litigants who manipulate those rules and procedures and feel that because financial sanctions have no meaning, they can continue to fight based on their belief that they have nothing to lose. Leonard has always said that Kelley Lynch is an extraordinarily capable person. She has some legal training of her own, having worked for Marty Machat, Leonard's lawyer and manager from 1972 to 1988. Lynch is devious, very clever, and acknowledges again and again that she has capable lawyers assisting. She refuses to accept the repeated rulings of numerous courts which have all indicated over and over that she is wrong. Both civil and criminal judges have commented that she will always come back with another argument, even if she is destined to lose. Rice has prevailed against Lynch at every turn, but Leonard has said that Lynch is energized by her losses in some demonic way. Lynch has vowed to continue her fight, even against Leonard's estate.
For Further Information on the Court
Proceedings between Cohen and Lynch
In
appreciation for all Leonard has given to me, I plan to keep this site
updated. I would prefer that Kelley simply accept her fate, but that seems
very unlikely.
For specific information about Lynch's legal arguments or the history of this story, I would ask that you contact Michelle Rice, Esq. at Kory & Rice, LLP in Los Angeles.
Following
Cohen’s death, from a fall in the night, I was further defamed in the news
media. Here’s a piece by David
Remnick who writes for the New Yorker.
I wrote Remnick, after Rutger brought LC’s death and the attendant
slander in the news media related to me, and explained some of the facts
and mentioned that his article upset my friends and family – including
sons. He made no corrections whatsoever. I also wrote a Rolling Stone journalist
who had the decency to reply but said his “editor” would make the decision
re. any corrections to his piece.
Imagine holding a job that involves lying pathologically about
others, injuring their children, elderly parents, and so forth, with their
concocted, salacious facts. Well,
it’s clear to me that Remnick wants to write a book about Cohen. This is a man with no morals, ethics, or integrity whatsoever. I’m sure he’ll rely on the “litigation
protected” fraud, perjury, and defamation as other authors and journalists
have. Many of authors of articles on Cohen or biograpies (such as David Remnick, Brian Johnson, Pico Iyer, and Sylvie Simmons) are nothing other than awe-inspired groupies who will slander innocernt people to sell a book or article (speech) about their "idol" or childhood "hero." LC was professionaly styled for his professional photographs and articles, etc. Women were frequently used as props.
Why do you personally believe any Court would protect criminal activity being used to victimize and destroy innocent people?
I
trust you’re well, Rinpoche, and do keep me, my son, and family in your
thoughts and prayers. As you know, Hecate Gould Massoubre recently
passed away so this is a distinctly important moment in time for me and all
those who loved her. She was a student of the 16th Karmapa
(as well as other great lamas) who spent time with him at Rumtek
Monastery. I have recently corresponded with one of the gentlemen who
visited 16th Karmapa at Rumtek with Hecate. Karmapa viewed him and his friend as his
African birds from Tibet who flew away in 1939 when the "winds of war" were howling as they are once again today. Please say a prayer that one day I find my African
Grey parrot, Lou, who was stolen during this campaign – as well as my dogs,
Asia and Shadow. My sons are doing well as is my elderly father and other members of my family. I am fortunate to have such wonderful guides and examples throughout this ordeal.
I
trust you’re well, in good health, and looking forward to a peaceful New
Year.
Much
love,
Kelley

IRS, FBI, and DOJ -
Attempting to explain
this "campaign" to the federal court in my lawsuit against LAPD, City
Attorney, et al. I've also tried to provide Rinpoche with an overview.
It's been difficult
submitting so many "incident reports" to you, correct defamatory and
false information constantly flying around the globe, or address perjury
and fraud in so many
legal matters. However, I have the time right now to work on my federal
suit, write and edit what I am submitting, review the evidence, communicate with certain journalists and others, document what continues to unfold (including "Gianelli's" latest insanity with "Marko" and "Merry Christmas," etc.
I'll send you the
notes of my conversation from this afternoon with the Court's expert. He
confirmed; information re. my defense and federal tax matters is being
transmitted directly to the
"City Attorney," court, and possibly others in his reports and the
reports of others. That is unconscionable but transparent as hell.
These people are literal samsaric criminals.
