A Special Report

Perseus Foundation has committed to publishing any bona fides that Mr. Most has regarding his publishing and training as a therapist. Mr. Most deserves equal time, in our opinion.

Maynerd Most writes: I took a few  days off and did something that needed doing since I moved eight  years ago - I dove into my boxes and boxes of files and old  manuscripts looking for the evidence.

Well, if the basic accusation against me is that I padded my resume,  then I think I might have conclusive proof that the opposite is true.  (Posted on M-Files under the folder VB) Turns out, I have forgotten  about more articles etc. than I ever mentioned on either of the bio  blurbs with which they are having such fun. And this stuff was  actually written under "Maynerd Most"...

Perseus Opinion and notes: Why then did Mr. Most not only "pad," but "create" his bio? He's provided no evidence whatsoever of high profile writing claims. Instead what we see is an extremely mediocre scribbler and twice-failed novelist. But Mr. Most attempts to divert attention from the issue of false claims already made by producing other "proof" that have nothing to do with the fact that his published claims were all false.

I stand accused also of being a pathological liar or worse, and while  that is demonstrably not true, I must confess to a few very human  weaknesses. 1) I have a bad memory for things that don't rate as  important and that is chiefly my personal trials, tribulations and  accomplishments. 2) I can be somewhat lazy. I'm sure there are plenty  of others, including a healthy ego, but these form the crux of the  current problem.

Perseus wishes to interject, at this point, an apparent example of what Mr. Most must be calling a "bad memory for things that don't rate as important, such as other people's lives and the truth.

I go out to see what she wants, and she takes a picture of me and leaves. Two days after Alvin gets fired, every computer in the house comes down with a strange virus. All files on the hard disk are converted to unreadable formats. Same time period, a strange young lady tries to put the Love Bite on one of my friends, the only person with access to our house and us. She over played her hand, but programming seems to have been done.

The attacks came toward weaklinks. Alvin, in fact, worked for a key figure in all this, JR [details deleted to protect the innocent]. We had talked about everything under the sun, including Jon Benet Ramsey, on the company phone line. We start talking seriously about your piece of the puzzle, and boom, the buy-out is over! What could be worse than implicating JR himself in JBR's murder? Duh, I don't know, talking to a channeler in Florida? Something very strange is going on, indeed!

Perseus Opinion and note: Mr. Most is apparently, in the above remarks, attempting to "ratchet up" his importance by claiming that the very fact he was talking to Laura put his life in danger and brought on all kinds of difficulties, suggested to be originating from another individual whose character he has defamed by implicating him in the murder of JonBenet Ramsey. The implication is that the individual in question, (don't be surprised), is a member of some Satanic group that preys on children and that the Satanists are to blame for all his trouble. But what is more fascinating about the above account, written in the first part of August, 2000, is how it morphed according to how it could serve Mr. Most's purposes. As soon as he had a new "target" for attack and defamation, the story was presented somewhat differently. Most significant is the fact that, apparently Mr. Most "forgot" the dates. Keep in mind that these emails were sent to a group of people. There are witnesses, it is not just a "claim" or a vicious attack on Mr. Most!

First, October was a time of massive problems, including mysterious burglars that did nothing but read my email and crash all three computers at once, even though they are not connected to each other. We also had the problems with the State Department over the books getting frozen in customs. But the weird thing is that two days after we should have been in France, but weren't for another collection of strange events, a rental car, luxury model, pulls up in my driveway and two well dressed people, man about 55, gray hair glasses, woman roughly 35, suit, blonde hair, gets out and begins to take photos of my house. I went and glared at them, and they calmly continued to get a few shots of me on the front porch. Then, without a word, they got in the car and drove away. Now my house is funky Victorian gothic, yes, but we rarely get anonymous photographers. Try never, actually.

Perseus Opinion and note: The events of late July, early August of 2000 have now been firmly transferred to October, because Mr. Most was using those events to defame a particular individual who he felt was a threat to his objective of taking over the C's material and group, and it was only in October that they could be attributed to the individual in question whose whereabouts were known at all other times by other people. He also added a man to the scenario. What was formerly a "woman," was now a "man and a woman." Also, instead of the picture taking woman leaving as soon as Mr. Most appears outside, in the next version, he goes outside to "glare" at them and the "calmly continued to get a few shots of me."

Is this an example of how Mr. Most "forgets" things that are unimportant? Is this an example of his laziness? If so, it is criminal forgetting and criminal laziness because this story was used to con-Vince a significant group of people that Mr. Most was an "expert" on Satanism, Satanic "ritual abuse," and mind-programming, as well as to manipulate the group into believing that a possibly innocent person was an "agent" of Satanists. Mr. Most, however, was not content to have shifted the action of the above story two months in time to make it "fit" his libelous and defamatory remarks about another person, he brought in "supporting witnesses" and elaborated on the tale to make his breathless audience absolutely certain that he was the bravest man of all time to defy such horrifying, Satanic pursuers who, it seems in retrospect, only existed in his mind:

To begin, let's tug on that loose thread of JM one more time and see what unravels.

Now one of the truly bizarre aspects of the whole, and the loose thread in JM's attempt, was why was he taking a picture of me and my house during the infamous October non-furniture market trip? We can safely surmise that he was, since he never directly answered my question about it, and even pretended he had lost the post. Later, he alluded to it as if it were common knowledge, which by that point it certainly was. So the question is why? And I've always felt that if we could get an answer, even a partial one, to that question much of the rest would unravel.

With the help of a few computer savvy friends I did some checking and guess what? Someone from JM's address was reading sangraal and magicjourney as early as  September, 1999. "JM" continued to read at a steady pace, focusing mostly on my Grail material, the RLC stuff when it went up and, here's where it gets interesting, my millennium Enochian material. That means that "JM" knew all about me and my stuff long before he contacted Laura and Ark.

In May 2000, when the first FWMS page went up, guess who was in the first ten people to check it out, actually, the first outside the inner group? Yep, "JM". He also downloaded the source info on the page and apparently used it to track its owner, another friend Stormy. [Storm Bear Williams "The charter officers of the PAC have been selected and they are Storm Bear Williams; President/Treasurer, "Maynerd Most"; Vice- President and Bill Stewart will serve as PAC Secretary."]

June, 2000, Stormy gets an email from one JM, an humble newage pagan type investment broker from Brussels looking for newage internet investment opportunities. Stormy of course is thrilled and they chat by email until October, when JM is supposedly coming to NC to scout out investment opportunities. JM makes plans to meet Stormy.

OK, so far so good, but unfortunately, there are two more layers of Weirdness involved. My book, A Monument to the End of Time, was at printers ready to go for the Christmas book-buying season. And then this old client called me and told me the strangest story I'd heard in a long time.

Because of confidentiality, I can't go into the whole story, but she did tell me that she had been in an accident and that she now had a broken tooth in a jar with strange ceramic fillings and wires coming out the bottom. And she was under severe attack.

So my compassion button was triggered, along of course with my desire for "proof" and I went to her rescue and took my eye off the ball at a very crucial moment. I ended up learning about a whole new level of the ball game, learning the hard way.

My book was printed in Canada, and so when it hit the border, customs, for a variety of still undetermined reasons, confiscated the whole load. I started pulling strings and the distributor I had lined up was in East Tenn. and had some pull with the Gore people. He made a few calls and my books got released. Except they went back to Canada, to the printers, and then made a new attempt at customs. This was the last week in September, 2000.

Due to some kind of mix up, the books, when they left the printer's and cleared customs a second time, were shipped to the wrong address in Tenn. A couple of weeks went by and the books were still missing. I'm of course preoccupied with the dramas of possession and mind control.

According to S__, JM showed up on the 20th from somewhere, went away, supposedly to the furniture market and then came back. On the 19th, a well dressed, balding man with a European accent visited with my distributor in Tenn. for over an hour. Gene has never talked about it directly, but his partner, George, source of the above description, told me that he was somebody from the State Department and informed them that doing business with my little publishing company could endanger their overseas sales and exports permits, etc. Upshot, when the books finally do arrive, I have no distribution, and therefore limited sales for the Christmas season. In other words, possible ruin for my little company.

Perseus Opinion and note: We will be checking these claims, although we realize from the above that there is no point in checking claims with any of Mr. Most cohorts.

Remember Stormy? Well, he's been getting weird calls from JM trying to set up a meeting. Stormy senses something squirrely, JM is acting like no investor he's ever seen. They agree to meet at the mall in Winston-Salem. The date, Monday October 23.

Well, by 8 that evening he was in WS at Hanes Mall meeting with Stormy. Their meeting goes very much like A___'s, with JM trying to play mind games. First off, Stormy was shocked that JM was interested in the FWMS and not, as Stormy had supposed, his music website, downslam.com. JM kept asking about the France trips and if we had gone to RLC. Stormy of course knew nothing about any of this and simply referred him to me. Then JM started in on the word association stuff and Stormy backed way off. They left, with JM promising to call, and of course never did. Stormy recently sent him an email, to which there has been no reply.

At the time, Stormy called me up and told me about some strange guy from Europe who wanted to know about FWMS and tried to hypnotize him. We laughed it off, Stormy was getting a lot of strange folks showing up for other reasons. I never thought to ask the guy's name until last weekend when all the website sleuthing turned him up. But it was him, same hotmail address and everything, but a completely different story.

On the 24th, around 2pm, someone is taking pictures of me and my house. The next morning, the 25th, I leave for Asheville and my client, who has called in the meantime in desperate straits. That afternoon, JM shows back up at S's, while my client and I face the wrath of hell level psychic attack. I do not get home until late the next day. At which point I discover that three out of four of our computers have crashed, even though they are not in any way connected. These are Macs and never have these kinds of problems. One, the older of the group, has a quirk about how you turn it off, and when we did get it going again it showed clearly that someone had fired it up and shut it down incorrectly.

Perseus note: Allow us to refresh the reader's memory with the original version of the above story, written on August 10, 2000 where we find mention of a "strange young lady" who tries to put the "love bite" on one of Mr. Most, who has now, apparently, morphed into a client and the attack of demons:

One week after discussion over company phone of Greenbaum, you, my visit, etc., my partner, Alvin, gets fired, they cancel our distribution arrangement, no AMET/Aethyrea/MagicJouney.com in 6 mil run catalog, etc. One day after our phone discussion, where the plug was pulled, a strange woman pulls up in my driveway and starts taking pictures, with a digital camera of my house. I go out to see what she wants, and she takes a picture of me and leaves. Two days after Alvin gets fired, every computer in the house comes down with a strange virus. All files on the hard disk are converted to unreadable formats. Same time period, a strange young lady tries to put the Love Bite on one of my friends, the only person with access to our house and us. She over played her hand, but programming seems to have been done.

The attacks came toward weaklinks. Alvin, in fact, worked for a key figure in all this, JR, mystery [details deleted to protect the innocent]. We had talked about everything under the sun, including Jon Benet Ramsey, on the company phone line. We start talking seriously about your piece of the puzzle, and boom, the buy-out is over! What could be worse than implicating JR himself in JBR's murder? Duh, I don't know, talking to a channeler in Florida? Something very strange is going on, indeed!

We are forced to the inescapable conclusion that whatever JM was doing, it involved checking on both me and Laura's C group. Even though he was completely unaware of our connection. Imagine his surprise then when Laura mentioned me in December. He tried to put it off with a bit of bluster, his first email to me, but my reply must have thrown everything for a loop. If Stormy HAD mentioned his name in October, then he could conclude that the game was up when I emailed about him taking photos of my house. I must be telling everybody that he had shown up under a different story, for instance.

So, he pretended that he hadn't received the email and began to work on Laura about me. When that blew up in mid-January, he knew that something major was wrong with the plan and  so tried to trigger what he thought was a code blue sleeper, Teresa. That he misjudged Teresa is as much of a break as the fact that he didn't know that Laura and I were connected. The unexpected and the unforeseen undid the plan.

What was the plan? What was JM trying to do?

As I was looking at what JM was reading off both sites, a pattern appeared. He was reading about demonic possession, the grail and the Enochian apocalypse workings at the same time. Laura jumped to the A list in December with those spectacularly successful hits on the Moon and Flight 990, but I didn't hit the A list until May when the JonBenet Ramsey article went up on magicjourney. By A list, I mean that JM, or somebody at his address, downloaded most of my site, and soon thereafter the weirdness began.

Without bogging down with details, let's just say that by July 1st, three years worth of projects had disappeared in the dust. I plunged ahead with printing the book out sheer cussed-ness. By October, see above, things had hit a real nadir.

So, when JM discovered that Laura and I were connected, the best approach was to try to involve me in the up-coming projects. And that's just what he did. This might even have worked short term as a way to marginalize us both. But his story had too many holes and it was just a matter of time before we all started talking and figured it out. However he was eased out so smoothly that he hardly knew what had hit him. He knew we were on to him, but he didn't know how much we could glean from the clues he left behind.

Therefore we are left looking for the link between demonic possession, the Grail legends and the Encohian Sedona workings. Add to that successful remote viewing by the Cs and the Ramsey case and what have you got?

Perseus Opinion and note: Regarding the above lengthy "novelization," as Mr. Most will call it, we direct the reader's attention to the information provided by a confidential informant who has also been subjected to a similar approach and who described the process in his own words:

The next part of the manipulation is to "wind up" the target by making them believe that the association is causing the perpetrator to "catch a lot of 'heat' from spooky agencies as well as 'magickal' groups. They describe being stalked, having their computers hacked, suffering all kinds of attacks because they are acting for "the good of mankind," even if in their dark past, they did get close to the pit. Naturally, they were appalled by their "close call," and that is why they are so knowledgable about such things, even if they have decided to use their knowledge "for the good!"

But, let's continue on with Mr. Most rebuttal:

A few years back, when I re-emerged and started to write again, my new agent, Stephanie Evans, suggested that I make my bio as strong as  possible by putting in as many writing credits as I could. So rather  than do what I did the last few days, that is digging through the  vault, I simply rattled off my areas of expertise, a few magazines  that I remembered having my reviews in, along with a couple of  newspaper jobs and let it go at that. Sometime later I put in the  Walpurgisnacht reference, and here I did make a mistake. I didn't  bother to completely check my facts.

You see, I didn't think it was important and as I said before, it was  a sign of insecurity and amateurishness to include a twenty year old  first novel anyway. But I did and what makes it truly stupid is that  I did it without checking my own files about the outcome of that  first novel fiasco. So frankly, I deserve to have my hand slapped,  and good god has it been.

Perseus Opinion and notes: By now, we no longer think that simple forgetting is at the root of Mr. Most "proof problem." Nor was it a sign of insecurity and amateurishness. In our opinion, Mr. Most is not stupid nor forgetful. His mind is not delusional. It seems to be growing increasingly apparent that stupidity and delusion are qualities that he attributes to his followers and the world around him; an indication of the disdain he has for his fellow man, particularly women.

So, at the risk of boring everyone to tears by rehashing my personal history, I feel that explanations are in order. However, since I'd  hate to cheat L'ark's attorneys out of their fees for depositions, I  will be leaving a few gaps for them to try and fill in. But I'll also  present supporting evidence that makes the very nature of their  accusations absurd.

Keep in mind please, that I did not join this group until October and  before that time anything I had to say about the Cassiopaeans and my  problems with Laura were conducted within the bounds of the  Cassiopaean circle. I did not attack her publicly, not on my website,  nowhere. Still haven't. There are no "arkster" Austrian Cs  transcripts, and the transcripts have been shared with no one, period. I did join this group, after L'ark smeared Teresa and conspired with another whacko to defame me just about as they have  done. Only at that point did I join this group and even then said  nothing remotely as bad as what she had been saying about me in both  public and private for months. Come on! They've called me everything  from a satanist to a pathological liar and I've done no more than  tell the truth about our business dealing and the mirror sessions,  suggest that everyone ask for the release of the complete, unedited  transcripts and point out the inescapable fact that they are,  obviously, displaying signs of STS based cultic behavior. Isn't it  absolutely clear to everyone by now who is in attack mode and who is being attacked?

Perseus Opinion and notes: In all cases, we are letting the evidence speak for itself. Mr. Most has yet to present any evidence that he has NOT manipulated facts, prestidigitated the truth, played fast and loose with the perceptions and minds of anyone who listens to him. Is presentating of truth in response to evident lies an "attack," as Mr. Most suggests? Regarding Mr. Most claims about the business dealings and the referenced "mirror sessions," those matters will be covered in full, with text, evidence from three witnesses who all refute Mr. Most, (all of whom, we might add, have track records of success and fair dealing in business as well as interpersonal interactions, a claim that Mr. Most apparently cannot make), as well as the tape recordings, and subsequent commentary from the Cassiopaeans regarding Mr. Most actions and agenda. Returning to Mr. Most rebuttal:

With that in mind, let me proceed:

Yes, I was a very precocious and talented kid. In 1970, I won both the National Thesipan Society Playwriting Award and honorable mention  (4th place I think) in the National Book Awards Young Poets  Competition. My mother will be happy to show you the trophies and  scrapbooks. The book I won the poetry award for, The Green Ink Notes,  can be found in the Rare Book Collection, SC Writers section of the  Greenville SC public library along with several articles written  about me at the time.

Also in 1970, I participated in the SC Writers in the Schools  programs, where, at the group orientation/conference in Charleston, I  met Mr. Dickey. He said a good word to the English department at USC  that fall for me and we met socially several times before I joined  the periphery of the group. I caught his attention again with a  stupid play I wrote and performed with my theatre friends. It was a  twisted version of Shakespeare compressed into Macbeth, and my mother  will gladly show you the playbills and reviews the next time you're  in Greenville. This was my first attack of pseudonym-itis. I called myself Birnham Most.

At USC, one of the alumni academic clubs sponsored an exchange  program in literature with several major universities in Europe and  elsewhere. Scholarships were awarded by competition, and I entered in  Shakespeare because there was less of it. I won my essay, but still  needed several academic references, and Mr. Dickey was kind enough to  supply one. On the basis of this, it certainly wasn't my grades, I  was accepted in the exchange program.

So of course, I never applied to Oxford, never said I did. I went as  a part of a program at my university. Again I must plead slackness.  When I wrote that email to Olga I did not mean it as a resume or fact  check for security clearance kind of thing. It was a simple, though  lengthy, email answering L'ark's increasingly vicious attacks.

Perseus Opinion and note: At this point, we have to comment that this is untrue. Mr. Most attacked Ark and Laura and the Cassiopaea group, including private information and defamatory statements, in an email sent to 180 people. He posted defamatory comments and lies on the Cassiopaea publicly accessible message board. He illegally claimed that Ark and Laura were to be held responsible for refunding the monies paid by attendees of his conference who had paid in advance. At this point in time, Ark and Laura had done two things, and two things only: cancel participation in his conference six weeks in advance, which was their right, giving him plenty of time to find an acceptable replacement, and removed him from the private, invitation only Cassiopaea egroup, of which they are owners, which was also their right. Both of these actions were purely and simply the result of the fact that Mr. Most agenda was discovered. Ark and Laura had no interest in revealing what they had discovered publicly, but merely to separate themselves from any business and personal association. Further, there were numerous complaints from other members of the group itself who essentially, "voted" Mr. Most out. That is not cultic activity, it is simple Free Will. At that point, Mr. Most initiated his attacks, all of which centered around money - the fact that he did not want to refund any - and little else, It was only in response to public attacks that any comments about Mr. Most were made at all.

The cited "email to Olga" was NOT in response to vicious attacks. There were NO "vicious attacks." There were, indeed, private discussions about Mr. Most, and the privacy of the group was again violated by Dr. Burns and the above mentioned Olga, at whose instigation Mr. Most continued his attacks. These attacks, by Mr Most and others, against "cassiopaea" as a "cult" were regularly posted on a publicly accessible bulletin board, and included additional attacks by Dr. Burns who also regularly, repeatedly and illegally violated the Cassiopaea group's privacy.

We now know that Mr. Most "versions" of events are, in his own words, "jokes" and "novelized" or he has "forgotten" the facts. This is, in our opinion, evidence of the malicious and vindictive nature of his attacks.

Further, Mr. Most statement that he was only "answering vicious attacks" with his many statements that once again, proved to be false begs the question of whose intent is it to confuse and mislead? For example, Mr. Most did write, quite clearly, the following about his visit to Oxford: "when I found the right college [...] I immediately found the bursar and conned him into cashing my scholarship check and then letting me leave without paying out my tuition." Any person reading such a statement, where a bursar at Oxford, who is in charge of the monies, is included as part of the scenario, that it was a "scholarship," cannot help but infer that Oxford University was involved.

Of course no one was looking at it as a resume for a fact check or a security clearance, it is just another statement in a long series of statements that seem to indicate that Mr. Most hardly knows what the truth is - about himself or anyone. He has either "forgotten," or "it was a joke" or it was a "novelization." If that is the case, then who is viciously attacking whom? Does Mr. Most make a habit of "joking," or "novelizing" or "forgetting the facts"? One is reminded of Bill Clinton who didn't "exactly" have sexual intercourse with Monica Lewinsky. What is more, he "forgot" about what he did do immediately after.

(Look,  I met Suzy in the lounge on the way out to London, it could have been  BOAC, it could have been Pan-Am or Delta, crikey it was almost 30  years ago... And as a matter of fact, in 1972 it took a train and  three buses to get to Stonehenge from Oxford. I spent the afternoon  and caught the last bus out to some strange little town (Have no idea what it was) where an early train took me back to London. I  took a taxi from Paddington, I think, to Victoria and the shuttle to  the airport. I was in Paris by sunset. I hope that clears up my  tangled syntax: "By the next morning, I made a brief excursion to see  Stonehenge, I was on the plane to Paris," should have read: "By the  next morning, after I had made a brief excursion to Stonehenge the  day before...")

Anyone bored yet? Now, the rest of the story is frankly no one's  business. Who cares how many family favors I had to call in to make  an arrangement with the university? Frankly I'm curious just how much  information the State Department will give out to any loonie or  stalker who asks for it. Guess we'll see...  One final note on Mr. Dickey... I certainly considered him a mentor,  but regrettably I let him and everyone else down and so I  became "that hippie kid who blew his chance by running off with some  French babe." Somehow, I'm not surprised that the James Dickey  Society has never heard of me...

Moving on, I guess the next question is have I ever been a  journalist? Let's see, editor of the weekly high school paper,  started two underground newspapers, The Graffiti and The Middle Earth  News, wrote features for the Greenville News, wrote on the USC Daily  Gamecock and after leaving USC went to work for the North Charleston  News, not please note The News from Kingstree SC. The NCN was based  in Monk's Corner and Goose Creek. I worked there in 1974 and 1975,  but unfortunately the paper folded about a year after I left. I don't  seem to have any copies left in the vault to prove it, but witnesses  to the paper's existence and my tenure there are plentiful.

One newspaper that I do cite still exists and is not hard to find,  the North Davidson Dispatch. And copies exist of my work, see exhibit  A/north davidson dispatch posted on the Matrioshka files. We'll take  up the rest of my journalism work as we go along.

OK, what about music reviews? In 1976, I signed a work for hire  contract with a literary agency/feature content provider syndicate to  do rock and roll and performance reviews which were then used by  magazines and such as filler and standard features. For those of you  too young to remember, there were once things called pulp magazines,  and the featured work for hire contract was a left over from those  good old, bad old, days. The people I worked for were stuck in the  Street & Smith/Argosy pulp world...

Perseus Opinion and note: In other words, NOT Rolling Stone, Seventeen, Cream, Hustler, etc. But we understand. Such things as truth are "forgotten" by Mr. Most as being unimportant. Doesn't matter if it is eight years or a few months, he forgets when convenient. What is more, he seems to remember an awful lot of things that never happened at all.

...and were looking for a way to break  into more hip markets. So, I churned out hipness on a piece rate  scale that let me keep all the albums. Paid the bills fairly steadily from 1976 to 1982. Sometimes I'd see the same review in three different magazines under different names. Believe me they weren't  great literature...

Can I prove it? Yep, but not by emailing the accounts department of  all those magazines and asking about "Maynerd Most". Fortunately,  the ex-wife and secretary of my old boss during that period is still  a good friend and has all the paper work stored safely away. Which  brings us back to Walpurgisnacht.

I have found several drafts and pieces of the project in the vault,  and have had my memory jogged by another friend who was directly  involved. There are several points to consider:
1) The novel was written under strange circumstances. My syndication  agent had arranged with DAW for the books publication under our  current work for hire contract as the idea was to produce a series of  occult Nazis science fiction written by a classic pulp house  pseudonym "Roland Maxwell." The company essentially bought my  research and hired me to rough out the first novel in the series. I  received nothing from DAW, and even if the deal had gone through, I  would have received nothing directly from DAW. I was paid by the syndication agency.
2) Since my life and my sanity was on the line at that particular  point, it is not too surprising that I have forgotten some of the  details, particularly those that happened after I retreated to NC. At  that point, I wanted as much distance as possible from everyone in my  former existence.
3) Walpugisnacht was my working title. The Astral Reich was the  proposed series title and this was to be Walpugisnacht in the Astral  Reich. One of the major problems was that everyone hated the title.

So, I over wrote and turned out a novel that didn't make anyone  happy. The series was due to kick off in 1981, but naturally didn't.  In October of 1982, the syndication agency paid  me off for my work  on the project and I signed a release for all rights. First novel  fiasco indeed! So, as I said, I never should have mentioned it to  begin with without looking up in my own files what had happened to  it. I will now stop to wipe the serious egg off my face...

Perseus Opinion, notes: Mr. Most has more egg on his face than he realizes. Again, he has morphed the story, but he is unable to let go of his claim to DAW being the publisher. DAW has responded to this "morphing" of the story as follows:

"Maynerd Most" continues:
OK, what's next? G. Richard Bozarth perhaps? Well the original  manuscript has yet to turn up in the vault. Not much is left from  that era in my life, so that is not surprising. But one of my oldest  friends remembers me reading it to him just after I finished it and  can testify that certain elements in the story came from discussions  we had previously had on the subject. I also found another story from  the same era that I wrote as G. Richard Bozarth. The title page is  exhibitB/Bozarth on the M files. It is written on a 1923 Underwood  portable on onion skin erasable bond, the same paper that F. Scott Fitzgerald used. No doubt about it, I was a literary snot in those  days... Although not dated, this story couldn't have been written after June  1978, since I lost most of my belongings, including the typewriter,  in a storage room disaster in Durham NC. The G. Richard Bozarth story  in question appeared in the September 1978 issue, so this piece was  written just after Scithers approved the sale. Not conclusive proof,  but getting closer...

Perseus Opinion and note: We wonder if the "oldest friend" is the same friend who is cited as a witness in the previous story defaming Mr. JM? Regarding the story written by G. Richard Bozarth, published in the September 1978 issue of Asimov's magazine, entitled "Bat Durston, Space Marshal," confirmed by George Scithers, (who denies ever knowing, communicating with, or having any business dealings with "Maynerd Most"), and Asimov's magazine, was written by the REAL G. Richard Bozarth of Texas. The check written in payment for the story was issued to, and cashed by, G. Richard Bozarth, as confirmed by George Scithers and Asimov's magazine. The fact that the story was written by the REAL G. Richard, was confirmed by his wife. Mr. Bozarth is still living, and still writing. Perhaps Mr. Most simply has not understood that there is a real G. Richard Bozarth who can prove that he is the author of the story "Bat Durston, Space Marshal,"published in Asimov's magazine in September of 1978, if necessary? However, Mr. Most has "produced" proof in the form of a piece of old paper with a title written on it with an old typewriter. We believe that there is a name for this type of "evidence production..." Also, see UPDATE!

Oh and I did find a few music reviews and articles that I wrote after  I left the syndicate. Exhibit C/Crescent Observer is a selection from  a book I was working on at that point on the musical roots of Reggae.  I still think it is a fine piece of work...

In the 1980's I worked for the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival.  Exhibit D/NCSF is my very first newsletter with a pretty fair article  on Richard III. Over the next few years, I wrote everything from  press releases to magazine articles to program notes and teaching  programs. Copies of all it exist.

After that, I went back to journalism, helping to start a movie  industry trade paper for NC. See exhibit E/TriadpageCarolina Film for  an example. I also wrote articles on the subject for other NC  publications and even upon occasion uncredited articles in the  Hollywood Reporter. See exhibit F/Carolina piedmont for an example.

So have I made my point yet? I've written steadily for over 30 years.  In the 1980s, I had a failed novel, kept on writing and did another  novel Moonshadow's Ghost with a friend, and then a novella that got  turned into a movie treatment called Alice: A Ghost Story and 2/3 of  a book on the White Indian Myth, along with newspapers magazines  press releases playbill copy and so on.

"Maynerd Most" wrote on Thu, 13 May 1999 22:06:50 -0500: "Fifteen years ago, I wrote a book, unpublished, called the White Indian Myth. It bounced around among publishers for a while, and the basic story was optioned for a movie, which also never happened."

There's so much more I could scan in - pages from Dr. P's unpublished  works, other published stories  and articles, articles written for  national magazines by my clients about their therapy with me,  introductory thanks from works such as Rena's Promise, Random House,  co-authored by a former client. And so on...

Perseus Opinion and notes: As we understand it, Dr. Puharich's family have undertaken to discover where these unpublished papers are, to which they are entitled legally. We have forwarded all pertinent remarks about them and Dr. Puharich to the interested parties.

Other quick points on that front include: The MPD clinic was an  informal group of psychologist and psychiatrists that met at the Rose  and Thistle Cafe in W-S twice a month to discuss their Disassociative  Disorder and MPD clients. Dr. Joan Essic, Wake Forest 1988 I believe,  was a friend first who, because of our work together on hypnosis -  she introduced me to Ericsonnian - recommended that the group try me  out on a few of their incorrigibles. When I got results that they couldn't explain, they started to send  me more clients. I was never asked to the meetings, and so don't  remember their names. All of that is in another collection of boxes  and files yet to go through.

Perseus Opinion and Note: Mr. Most has here stretched our credulity to the breaking point again. Keep in mind that his clear statement was: "When I was doing therapy, I worked with Dr. Joan Essic of the Bowman-Gray Medical School's MPD clinic..." The question we would like to ask is "who is trying to confuse and mislead whom?" As we have noted: We have found a Dr. Ellyn Joan Essic, who obtained her Ph.D. in 1999 from University of North Carolina at Greensboro. At this point, we are unable to connect her with the Bowman-Gray Medical School but will keep trying. We have sent written inquiries, including the entire transcripts of all Mr. Most claims to a selection of individuals at Wake Forest/Bowman Gray. We will update them with the further information about the psychologists and psychiatrists meeting at the cafe who were sending Mr. Most their clients so that they can investigate this matter.

My former therapy partner, Dr Jean Templeton, (who blew Laura's crap  off as clearly delusional - everyone please note that not a word of  that exchange has been mentioned) claims me as her hypnosis teacher  on her own hypnotherapy certification application. She has an  excellent kid's book out on incest, with illustrations by another of  our mutual clients. See http://www.ntrnet.net/~iuvioav/sld001.htm.  

Perseus Opinion and notes: Three inquiries to Dr. Templeton have resulted in no response. But, please note that Mr. Most first claims about Dr. Templeton were that "She turned me on to hypnosis," and now is stating that Dr. Templeton is listing Mr. Most as her hypnosis teacher. This does raise certain questions about Dr. Templeton herself, considering all that we are discovering about Mr. Most and his close associates and their loose handling of truth, and evident lack of concern for other human beings. Perhaps Perseus will investigate this further. That such people are claiming to work in the field of child abuse definitely calls for further inquiry, particularly in light of the many recent discoveries of manipulative therapists and what is called "false memory syndrome."

Tom Kenyon, who is my long time girlfriend in the 80s' cousin, was  approached in such a way that he had no context to place his memory  of me. This is primarily what I meant by tracking down and confusing  people who should remember me.

Perseus Opinion and notes: We have forwarded to Dr. Kenyon Mr. Most remarks to "jog his memory."

And of course, they also get others to do their tracking and mud- slinging for them. Here's an example of what they've been doing and  how those who actually know me have been responding:

Dear Mr. Rowland:

Regarding your email of November 23, 2001, we appreciate your concern  for our reputation. However, our association with "Maynerd Most" goes  back to 1989 and during that time our relationship has rarely been  anything other than amicable. We feel that Mr. Most is a talented  writer whose wealth of knowledge on mystical, scientific subjects can  only be of benefit to our readers. We are sorry that Mr. Most and  your organization seem to be experiencing difficulties, but it's our  policy to not interfere in theaffairs of those who write for us.

We sincerely hope that the two of you can come to some sort of  meeting of minds and settle your differences in a civilized fashion.

Yours in Spirit,

Christine Hall Editor AlternativeApproaches.com http://www.alternativeapproaches.co

Perseus Opinion and Note: Considering the evidence we have uncovered regarding Mr. Most utter disregard for truth, ethics, and consideration for Free Will and the lives of other human beings who he insouciantly libels, and then laughs it off as "a joke" or "novelization" or "I forgot, it wasn't important," we find the opinion of the above named organization regarding Mr. Most as having a "wealth of knowledge on mystical, scientific subjects can  only be of benefit to our readers," as not merely naive, but questionable. Returning to Mr. Most rebuttal:

 OK, there's only two more points. First, the spook stories...

Since these selections were originally part of a "memoir" entitled "I  Was the Devil's Probation Officer" one might suspect that a certain  amount of novelization was involved. But just as L&A have no sense of  humor, they also have no appreciation of the finesse. Whether they  felt that those yarns were true or not, passing them along to someone  like Aquino (of the Presidio Childcare Center abuse case) is simply a  malicious act of revenge on their part. Of course, having the head of  the Church of Satan/Temple of Set say he's never heard of you does  make it a little harder to believe the accusations of satanism... One  question though, who else gets such a prompt response from the self  proclaimed head  satanist? Nah, I must be paranoid...

Perseus Opinion and notes: Mr. Most teflon approach to the fact that he was claiming these stories as his background, and using them to influence the minds of 200 other people, to convince them that he was what he said he was, that he knew whereof he spoke, is not merely astonishing, it is gross negligence. Keep in mind that his objective was apparently to convince as many people as possible that they had been subjected to Satanic ritual abuse, mind control, and that Mr. Most was a person who had the knowledge and experience to help them. Perseus finds such manipulation of other human beings by an individual professing to be a therapist, may fall under the category of "criminal intent to do harm."

And of course, there is Laura's highly touted puff piece that took a Pulitzer prize winning journalist five years to write. Did you ever  wonder why it took him 5 years? Reading between the lines of the  published article, I would guess that it took that long for him to  get away from a demanding and domineering subject who just kept  upping the melodrama every time he wanted to drop the whole thing.  Don't know this for sure, but it certainly would be interesting to  see what Mr. French thinks of it all. Maybe he could do an update and  see what Frank thinks of the whole thing now that he's no longer a part of it.

Perseus Opinion and note: We will forward these comments to Mr. French et al. Again, we point out that Mr. Most has no track record to speak of, except evidence of manipulation of truth, "forgetting" that could be considered criminal negligence, and claims to publishing credits that are proven false, and real publishing credits that amount to little more than mediocre small-town non-events. Mr. French, on the other hand, is quite capable of explaining himself, and did so. Mr. Most remarks above are, so far, the clearest evidence of what is really driving him: jealousy, paranoia and vindictiveness.

But of course, just to prove that it is all ego on my part and an  attempt to upstage Laura, let me just say that I've had several front  page articles done on me, some of them  have had a much broader  readership than the St. Pete Times. For example, my final two  exhibits, F & G/ Stylecover and inside on the M files. Norma McLemore  is also a prize-winning journalist. This piece was written at the  height of my Dr. Strange/psychic emergency work and led in an  indirect way to the spook story I told about sticking my hand in the axe murderer's shoe.

Perseus Opinion and notes: Again, Mr. Most demonstrates the clear fact that has no regard for truth. St. Petersburg Times circulation is in the millions. It covers the entire Central Florida region, and is delivered as far north as Tallahassee and as far south as Miami. Mr. Most "cover story," published in Triad Style, "your guide to arts, information and entertainment" is circulated as follows:

The Virginian-Pilot The Virginian-Pilot is Landmark's flagship newspaper. It serves residents of southeastern Virginia, the Eastern Shore of Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Circulation is approximately 235,000 on Sunday; 225,000 on Saturday; and 197,000 on weekdays. The Virginian-Pilot also publishes three free-distribution newsprint magazines, Style in Richmond, Port Folio for Hampton Roads, Va. and The Island Breeze for the Outer Banks of North Carolina; The Apartment Book, a rack-distributed monthly publication in South Hampton Roads and on the Virginia Peninsula; Tidewater Parent, a monthly parenting magazine serving South Hampton Roads, Hampton Roads Employment Weekly, a weekly rack-distributed recruitment publication for South Hampton Roads and the Virginia Peninsula...

In other words, at the "height of my Dr. Strange/psychic emergency work," Mr. Most made it onto the cover of a local, Freebie advertising circular. Mr. Most closes his remarks:

Well, is enough enough yet? While I appreciate all the free  publicity - sales of AMET have spiked in the last week or so - I  think it is time to move on. Even though both my attorney ("Don't  give the defendants any more information!") and therapist friends  ("Don't engage a borderline personality, it only fuels their  delusions!") have warned against it, I have chosen to respond here  and in this way.  Think of it as a gesture of how much I appreciate  the level of this group and its openness.

Thanks for listening,

Maynerd

Perseus Opinion and notes: We do thank Mr. Most for providing ample evidence of his obvious malicious intent to defraud. It is now all a "joke," or a "novelization," and anybody who would believe him has "no sense of humor" and "no finesse." We would like to point out that this very attitude may be the secret of his inner being. He has given all fair warning.

It is our opinion that "Maynerd Most" thinks that the majority of human beings are incredibly stupid and incapable of seeing his inconsistencies and excuses for what they are. And, though we disagree with him (we don't think most people are stupid, but we do think they are often susceptible to such manipulators), in a way he's right. He can say these things because most people believe him. They don't question it. Many people will completely disregard the gross discrepancies in what he has written, as well as the obvious self-ceritification as an admitted liar, and will simply twist it into what they want to believe. Mr. Most is, in our opinion, a con artist extraordinaire and a scary one, because he's not selling trumpets to people in River City; he's selling salvation. And it seems to be that he's doing it for money and for little else. We see no evidence of altruistic notions in the man. We don't even think he's on the "other side" except as an unconscious dupe of negative forces. In the end, he just comes across as a materialistic creep wannabe mojo man who is willing to take advantage of humanity's need for the spiritual in order to get what he wants which probably consists of really spiritual things such as expensive cars, lots of high-level stereo equipment, more expensive black clothes, better designer drugs, etc....

Caveat Emptor!

UPDATE! (Readers arriving here from the Planet X article, or from the page of email exchanges with the webmaster of Zecharia Sitchin's website, may wish to read this entire series of articles starting with Create Your Own Reality, and including the new article on Psychopaths as Alien Reaction Machines.)

UPDATE! As a result of these revelations, we have received several lengthy emails from individuals who have had prior dealings with Mr. Most. Because of the nature of the interaction, we must protect the source of the information, but we would like to share with the readers what this woman had to say, her opinion based on her experiences:

"Maynerd Most" is a spiritual terrorist and intellectual parasite. He has played out the same pseudo-victim, pseudo-journalist/reporter game on you that he played on me. Think of him as a kind of petty dictator, who will bluff and bluster until he's cornered, at which time he will whimper and beg for mercy. This is typical junior-high school "baby-bully" behavior, and it's also typical of a person who has been abused as a child. My solution to this lunacy is: document, document, document everything. Create an audit trail of all correspondence and all interactions.

Do not write emails to him as he just reworks the email later to say what he wants it to say.

[Perseus opinion, note: It seems that it is not even necessary to write an email to someone to have one falsified and sent as you. See this: Correspondence with E. Parker.]

What he's claiming you are doing is, unfortunately, likely to be what he's doing (or has done). It's a standard tactic of his gang to paint their opponents with their own ill behavior. That confuses naive newcomers. And, it works.

Clearly, Mr. Most was abused as a child. That's pretty terrible. So, expect the actions and reactions of the "child of an alcoholic", for example. I'm not suggesting that that was the problem, but rather that the behavior would be typical -- and worse if the abuse were sexual, or sexual also. That would explain his obsession with sexual abuse.

Yes, there's definitely sex games involved in the Most agenda. If you can stomach it, and can find some of their older writings, you'll find advocacy for tantric sex magic for children. These guys just love to play games like this, because it feeds their ego. So I wouldn't be at all surprised if they're preying on people with sexual abuse problems. It's their stock in trade.

"Maynerd Most" and his gang are all self-proclaimed geniuses who confabulate everything. They make it all up. If someone is running them, they're the dupes, because they're too stupid and/or too vain to know they're being run. You have to see them in their magickal operations to get the pseudo-satanist mindset that they're into. It's all a phoney. It's all delusions of grandeur, wannabeism, and self-promotion. The way they think, it doesn't matter whether they con the good guys by being bad guys, or con the bad guys by making believe they're good guys. Whatever sells. It's more a personal power game than anything official. They're even phoney satanists. Now, there's a distinction not worth the difference.

As noted, we will continually update these pages.
