The History of Sweepstakes
This book has its own history which is not a pleasant one. Despite the fact that it took two years to research in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland and the Netherlands it's success became a threat to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the murderously corrupt Key Biscayne Police Chief, Michael J. Flaherty. After the book was finished Lawrence Curtin began writing another book about a plan of bin Laden's to operate from a Mosque in Germany through South Florida to blow up an American City which turned out to be New York. This is recorded in Police documents in 1999 and in a Law Suit filed in the US District Court in Miami January 2, 1999.
However his efforts to follow this story were stopped by Miami FBI Agent Jack Ireland and Michael J. Flaherty. Ireland paid registered FBI confidential informant, Mark Michael Stafford of Ft. Lauderdale Florida, to get a Walter Franklin Galbreath (wgalbreath@mindspring.com) of Kansas City Missouri to post false reviews under the offer of this book both on Amazon.com and Barnes & Nobel.com in an effort to destroy the sales of this book. Galbreath using the aliases of Harvy S. Finklebottom (Mashpee WI), harry jorgenson (Uppamsville KY), Jim Toddy (Pomona) and as "A Customer" posted these false reviews.
These people do not exist. They are names Galbreath created. There is no history of these names ever having critiqued any book other than this one and there are no such cities as Mashpee WI, Uppamsville KY and Pomona.
When these critiques appeared Lawrence Curtin turned his attention to tracking the person who was posting these. After nearly one year the Author found Galbreath and had Dan Clark, a Private Investigator for the Innocence Foundation, go and interview Galbreath. Galbreath admitted that the aforementioned MindSpring email address was his to Dan Clark. The address Galbreath put on his MindSpring account was a vacant lot. In addition he transposed the numbers of his actual phone number.
This email address was used by Galbreath to go into Scudder Stevens and Clark's computer located in Kansas City Missouri. There Galbreath went to various email providers and using phony email addresses created death threats that were sent on to the Author. These were nearly impossible to track. However as a writer the Author used Galbreath's own words to track him. Galbreath had a fascination with books and he described himself in his emails as a "closet fag". It was from this that the Author was able to locate Galbreath as a Librarian working at a Kansas City Missouri Library Branch. The Author also found a link to Galbreath in a police document as a pedophile.
One of the most telling facts that deal with the FBI, bin Laden and 9/11 is the fact that Galbreath was directed to close his MindSpring account 9/10/2001.
Ireland and Flaherty were aided in this effort by US District Court Judge James Lawrence King (www.jameslawrenceking.net) who in a secret meeting on December 11, 1998 with a perjurer working with Ireland and Flaherty, urged the perjurer to do harm to the Author and his son. (King is a senior Federal Judge who was accused of raping a woman. She passed an FBI lie detector test yet the FBI did nothing to bring this criminal Judge to justice.) In 2003 Miami US District Court Judge Adalberto Jordan entered into a conspiracy with James Lawrence King and agreed to dismiss the Author's 1999 Law Suit calling it frivolous and covering up the facts about James Lawrence King. Nearly 3000 people died and this corrupt Judge Jordan called the Author's efforts to try and find and publish facts about bin Laden and his plans in 1999 for an attack on an American City which turned out to be New York 9/11/2001, frivolous!
Documents supporting these claims can be found at www.mypersonalstory.net and the aforementioned link. In addition the Author wrote a book about this episode. That book is A Paradox of Evil.
