The Media Needs To Do Their Job With Corey Feldman

Do you remember a time when there were actual investigative Journalists?  Those days seem long past.  We now have partisan reporting and people reading off of teleprompters.  Corey Feldman is in the news, or at least the actor/singer should be.  He is now naming names of adult predators who he says molested him when he was a child.  The media is silent.  I've voiced my concerns about some of his actions as depicted in his own auto biography, but that's not the point here.  The point is there is a story to be investigated.

Corey has been hinting at things for years, but this current news started with his appearances on The Today Show with Matt Lauer and another interview with Megyn Kelly.  Lauer and Kelly profess to be real reporters for a supposedly reputable news source, NBC.  Yet neither of them did their homework before their interviews.  It's obvious that neither spent any time reading his auto biography or even researching what has been said.   Poor journalism.  It's almost as if they only reluctantly gave him a token interview.

Furthermore, Feldman dropped the Alphy Hoffman Soda Pop Club hint that day, and they did nothing with it.  Only the simplest of research would have revealed Hoffman is who Feldman was talking about.  Furthermore, Hoffman deleted a Twitter account that day, a move that should have raised more suspicion.  Once upon a time, real journalists would have had a camera near Hoffman as soon as possible, even if all they got was a, "No Comment."  They would have shown up at his home or place of business and made an attempt to get his response.

The fact that Hofman threw parties for under age movie stars in Hollywood without much parent supervision should at least raise the possibility that something could have happened with Corey and others as well.  A news special could easily be put together looking back on those days, interviewer people who were there and starting real discussion.  The fact that the main stream media is silent on this is disturbing.  They are too busy fueling the Russia and Trump political narrative to bother with this.  Pedophilia and the fact that it has happened and continues to happen in Hollywood and around the world is genuine news.  Others are coming out with their own stories of abuse.

While I have questions about Corey and I am an admitted fan of many of his movies, I have no doubt that he was molested as a child.  Therefore, I want to know what went on, how it was allowed to happen and who is guilty.  Two people who he says molested him are convicted pedophiles.  I'm unaware of any record for Hoffman, but he looks suspicious.  And another one who Corey mentions under an alias in his book was recently identified as having molested Corey Haim, according to Judy Haim.  There's enough evidence here to warrant a media investigation, even if California's legal system seems to not care about the victims.  So, why is the media so silent on this issue?

As Kansas Rocks On, Steve Walsh Makes New Album

This is not really an album review.  It's more of an observation.  However, fans of former Kansas singer Steve Walsh should get his new CD, Black Butterfly.  You won't be disappointed.

When Steve Walsh retired as lead singer of Kansas a few years ago, nobody could really say they were surprised. He said it himself. It was time. Other than his brief stint fronting his own band called Streets, Steve had been lead singer of Kansas from the start.

He left Streets shortly after recording Crimes In Mind because Phil Ehart and Richard Williams were all that was left of Kansas at that point. From then on, they only recorded four studio albums of all new songs, the last of which Steve had no part in writing. He simply added his vocals as he was in the middle of recording his second solo album, Glossolalia.

If you listen to the Kansas album of the time, Somewhere To Elsewhere, and Glossolalia, you can hear the difference. Steve brought much more passion to his solo work. That's not to say he phoned it in on his last Kansas album, but you could hear where his heart was.

To be fair, his solo work was decidedly different. He went to darker places. His voice had changed so much, but it worked for his solo material. Maybe this is because you are not able to compare it to a CD of him singing those songs 20 years earlier. These were brand new songs.

Creatively, it's obvious Steve still had something to say, but it didn't fit the Kansas mold. I've often wondered since I've learned a bit about the Kansas creative process how many songs Steve brought to them through the years that were rejected.

Williams has said in interviews that the band could be hard on their song writers at times, and that included songs brought to them by Kerry Livgren.  

It's not difficult to think that it would bother Walsh more than Livgren. Livgren simply left the band and recorded numerous albums while offering up new songs for Kansas to record or reject. During their prime years, Walsh quit the band and was talked out of it.

Steve's third solo CD was released five years later. Shadowman continued his exciting new direction. However, he decided that he was retired from recording after that. Part of this was due to his frustration with album sales and probably the industry itself.

The band wanted to record new material, but Steve refused to write or record. Maybe because of Livgren's health or because they didn't want to ask him, the other four members thought about it and created their own CD under the title Native Window.

When you make it as long as Kansas has, you are a fortunate band. Not every group has been lucky enough to create songs so popular that fans want to see them performed live 40 years later. Carry On Wayward Son and Dust In The Wind are in the elite category among some of the greatest songs ever recorded.

There has been very little down time for the band since it began almost 45 years ago, though their lineup has changed. They keep going, and they recorded an album of all new material two years ago called The Prelude Implicit. They just released the live CD called Leftoverture Live And Beyond.

Ronnie Platt jumped on board as lead singer not long after Steve left, and there was already talk of new music. It was the gig of a lifetime for a man who had played some of those Kansas hits live as a part of a regional cover band.

Ehart asked former Kansas lead singer John Elefante to come back, because he knew the band couldn't have just any singer. Elefante declined in a public statement on Facebook. Platt's voice is still there, where you could hear Walsh struggle to hit some notes.

Make no mistake, Walsh still brought a passion to those lyrics and you could hear it. There is a knock on Platt, fairly or unfairly, that he could bring a bit more passion to those songs than what he does.

However, the band sounds great musically, and Platt's vocals don't really take away from that. Kansas is sill getting great reviews, and word is that they are already planning another new album.

When you consider how Walsh walked away from Kansas, it was almost a sad note. Most fans probably thought he was done, but Steve surprised them with the release of his fourth studio album, Black Butterfly.

Musically, it continues the direction in which he left off with Shadowman, but he's taking chances musically and vocally. He also hands vocals off to Jerome Mazza on three songs and shares them on another track.

What's really nice is you can hear the passion in his voice. He's singing new songs that he believes in. It's great to hear him singing again. Hopefully, he continues as a solo artist, because Steve Walsh still has something to contribute to the musical world.

Are People Expecting Too Much From Corey Feldman?

When somebody says there is pedophilia in Hollywood, anybody who is paying attention to the world at large knows this is true.  Pedophilia is a world wide problem.  Actor/musician Corey Feldman is getting people to talk about it, and that is a good thing.  Anybody who expects Corey to bring them down is naive.  At best, what he can do is start a chain reaction in which other child stars begin to speak up about their own experiences and identify the criminals.

Corey has claimed he knows six names, and he wrote about them in his book.  He used fake names.  In truth, he's probably aware of more, and it wouldn't be a surprise if there's more to his story than is written in his book.  I find it interesting the way he describes Corey Haim's experiences versus how he talks about his own.  I don't like being a critic at a time like this.  Let me just say, I believe it has happened to him.  I have a feeling his story is worse than he lets on here.  However, I don't think we're going to get more out of him than what he is hinting at now, and that's totally up to him.

The reality is, the two names he has dropped, Jon Grissom and Marty Weiss, are both already known as pedophiles.  They have gone through the court system, and frankly, they got off lightly.  At best, we now know, according to Feldman, that they did things to him too.  There's another name we are waiting to hear from him.  He calls him Ralph Kaufman, and he also names his father, Bob Kaufman.  Corey claims Bob was really Ralph's gay lover.  Bob was in casting and helped get him some of his early roles, and Ralph was the one who had the Soda Pop Club parties in Hollywood in the 1980's.

I don't know how far back Bob and Ralph go, but it's just possible Bob groomed Ralph when he was a minor and Ralph became a pedophile himself.  Sadly, this is known to happen.  Ralph, though in his 20's during the time of the parties, had a youthful appearance.  He would be a prime candidate in a pedophile ring to gain the trust of the kids and lure them to the late night parties.  Ralph is not known as a big Hollywood name, but if he's connected to a pedo ring, he is an important name.  At this point, we are waiting for Corey to reveal who Ralph really is, but others have used his clues to identify him as Alphy Hoffman.  Corey's retweets of certain posts would suggest those people are on the right track.

I don't think Corey is going any further than naming this person and possibly the identity of Tony Burnham.  For one thing, he's said he won't name anybody he doesn't have first hand knowledge of.  This means the name of the person who supposedly molested Corey Haim on the set of Lucas is not likely to be named, although Feldman mentions in his book that the incident happened.  This was before he and Haim started hanging out, and it's obvious that it had a big impact on Haim.  Feldman claims Haim started telling him about it early on, but years later, both of them started dealing with the pain of it all through their drug abuse.  Haim is said to have never won that battle.

Where it gets contentious is Carey's mother, Judy Haim.  She would prefer Feldman not include her son in any of his own crusade, and she is particularly troubled by his Ideiegogo campaign to raise $10,000,000 to make a movie based on his autobiography.  She believes, as others have said, that he should name names and do the right thing without a price tag.  She has said what he is doing is a scam.  Feldman insists he's raising money not just for the movie that will name the names of these abusers, but legal defense and security for the danger he is putting himself and his family in. 

Who is right?  Corey's first two names wouldn't seem to be a danger to him.  Based on hints, the biggest name he's holding on to that he would even dare name is the identity of Kaufman.  He has no proof of who the person was on the set of Lucas, although theories have ranged from a producer still in the business today to a co star who is still involved in successful projects.  This is another problem.  Because Corey is only dropping clues, internet sleuths are coming up with theories that name other big names, and they have no proof other than Corey's clues.  Is it fair to those people to allow this to continue without some real evidence?

Judy Haim was recently on the Canadian version of ET.  She made it clear that if Feldman is going to name names, she is all for it.  Tell the truth and protect innocent lives.  She also claims that what happened to her son was only a one time incident.  I have many theories on that.  I don't believe it was only a one time thing, but I can also believe that he may have only told Judy about the one time.  If that is true, however, it would suggest that she knows this abuser's name.  If so, why is she silent?  See what I mean about speculation?  What do we really know?

What is disturbing are passages in Corey Feldman's book and how he portrays Haim and additional encounters Haim had with older men.  Feldman describes them as if Haim is asking for them and insinuates that Haim is gay.  I'm not passing a judgement, because I don't think you are bad if you are gay.  Haim hadn't fully processed what happened to him.  However, it's described as if Haim was asking for these things to happen, which is also a defense some of these pedos use when they are finally caught.

This is from the end of Chapter 12 of Choreography regarding Haim's experience with Marty Weiss and how Feldman helped make it happen.  Haim is depicted as asking Feldman to set him up with somebody for a sexual encounter.

Feldman replies:  “Corey, we’re in Santa Cruz. I don’t know anyone here.”

“What about that girl your mom hangs out with? The Asian girl?”

“I guess you can call her…?”

“Can you call her for me?”

I set down the picture of my girlfriend, Katie, and sighed. “I really don’t know her that well.”

“Come on, man. I just need somebody to take care of me.”

And then suddenly I remembered a story, something Jason Presson had told me about Marty, a month or so before I left town. Jason had spent the night at Marty’s house; Marty was living, at the time, with his parents and his brothers and sister. At same point during the overnight, Marty had admitted to Jason that he was gay.

I’m not sure what made me think of that, or what made me say what I said next. It just sort of slipped out—it wasn’t something I thought about, it wasn’t something I meant to be in any way taken seriously. It was just a flip comment, a weak attempt at a joke.

“Marty’s gay,” I said. “Why don’t you ask him?”

Haim looked over at Marty, sitting sheepishly in a chair in the corner. “Is that true, man? Are you gay?”

Marty was clearly flustered by this; he sat up a little, wiped his palms on his pants. “Well, uh, I mean … I don’t know about gay. I don’t really like to talk about it. I mean, I like boys as much as I like girls, but I don’t know if you’d call that gay.…”

“Well, if you’re gay,” Corey said, not missing a beat, “then why don’t you take care of me?”

They walked single file into the adjoining room the room that had originally been intended for my mother. I heard sounds, banging, thumping. I felt my stomach flip-flop. I felt sick.

This sounds an awful lot like gay, consensual sex, doesn't it?  For one, we don't know if this happened.  Secondly, we don't know if it happened as Feldman described, if it did happen.  Third, if it did happen, Haim had clearly not processed what had happened to him on the set of Lucas, and once he did start dealing with it, it was a down hill spiral for him.  Judy Haim has threatened to sue Feldman over his continuing comments regarding her son.

I'll just put this out here for consideration without an opinion.  If you've seen the documentary An Open Secret, you will hear a story about one boy's encounters with Weiss.  He eventually recorded a conversation, which led to Weiss being convicted.  Feldman claimed he named names, which appears to be the case, to police officers investigating Michael Jackson in 1993.  Obviously, he was ready to talk then, but those particular officers didn't listen.  Why didn't he make a more serious effort to talk back then?  What might have happened to the boy interviewed in An Open Secret if Feldman had spoken up then when he was clearly ready to?

In Chapter 13, Feldman described how Haim was hitting on him again.  Feldman set him up again, this time with another older man.

I went to the fridge to get myself a soda. “That’s great, man. I don’t need to see your dick.”

“I’m just showing you because this is how frustrated I am right now. I just want to get laid. Is that really such a bad thing? Is that really such a big deal?”

Before I even realized what was happening, he started in with, “Hey, why don’t we just mess around, why don’t we just touch each other?” I was used to his persistence; I was not accustomed to being hit on myself. I said no, I scooted farther away from him on the couch, I repeated that it wasn’t “my thing” until finally, exasperated, I said, “Corey, are you gay?”

“I’m not gay, man. This is just what guys do. It’s totally normal. Why don’t we just do it?”

I yelled. We nearly came to blows. I smoked some weed of my father’s, tried to settle myself down.

“Okay,” he said after a long silence. “What about that one guy, Marty Weiss?”

I glared at Haim. “I’m not talking to him anymore.”

“Why not?”

“Because he started a company with my mom, and my mom and I aren’t really talking, and I think what happened in Santa Cruz was really fucked up and I just don’t want to be responsible for that again.”

“Okay. Don’t you know anyone else?”

Actually, I did know someone. Every time I had seen Tony Burnham at one of Ralph’s parties, he would be on and on about Corey Haim, about how good-looking Haim was and how much he wanted to meet him. At that moment, I wasn’t thinking about the fact that Tony was an adult and Haim was a minor; I was thinking that I would do just about anything to get Haim to shut up, to stop him from hitting on me.

“Okay, who is this guy?” Haim asked.

“His name is Tony. He’s older, and he’s kinda fat. He’s really not at all attractive.”

“Have him come over.”

“Are you serious?”

Haim raised his eyebrows and gave me a frustrated nod.

“Look, I don’t feel comfortable with this,” I told him. “Why can’t you just go out and get yourself laid like everyone else?”

“Just call him up, man. Just please do me a favor and call him.”

Whatever happened between Tony and Haim that day, I cannot tell you—they went off to the laundry room in my father’s building. Next thing you know, Tony was always at Haim’s side, driving Haim around town, hanging out with Haim’s mother, passing himself off as a friendly big-brother type. Looking back, I think Tony must have thought of Haim as his boyfriend. I think he believed they were having a real relationship. I didn’t understand that what he was doing was wrong, or what it would eventually do to Corey Haim. I just thought that if Haim seemed to be okay with it, I should learn to be ok with it, too.

Feldman even rationalizes this.  He's not setting him up to facilitate pedophilia, he's doing it to get Haim out of his face.  It's hard to defend Feldman at this point, because this looks bad.  I have to remind myself that he was a victim of these predators too, and it probably goes back further than Feldman himself admits in his book.  Tony Burnham has been identified by internet sleuths, but I won't put the name here.  You can easily do a web search.  It's possible Feldman will name him, and he would be a reason Feldman would need lawyers.  Burnham still has a career, according to reports I've seen.

In Chapter 19, Feldman admitted that Burnham was a man he maintained a friendship with, and Haim was not happy about it.  In the TV show The Two Coreys, Haim speaks in code about a time in which he was raped.  It could be Burnham he was talking about.

I moved to Encino, and Tony became my roommate. Haim took this as a kind of betrayal. Looking back on it now, who can blame him?

Whether it was denial, or the fucked up way your brain works when you’ve been a victim yourself, I just didn’t think of Tony as a bad guy. I still thought, erroneously and ridiculously, that because Haim “wanted it,” the abuse had not been Tony’s fault. While Haim tolerated the arrangement and the two remained civil—Tony even scored a small role in one of our upcoming movies—it was clear to me that Haim could no longer stand him.

If these particular passages don't make you pause and think, you might need to read them again and absorb what Corey is saying.  I don't claim to know all of the ways in which a victim of this abuse will react and rationalize things.  Reading Corey's words, it sounds like he just thought Haim was gay and wanted this.  I do question, given the fact that he claims to be Haim's friend, why he would depict it the way he has in his book.  Should he have said anything at all?  Might he have been better served to describe things differently?

Corey claims he actually named their names in the book before the publisher stepped in and told him that he couldn't do it for legal reasons.  Who knows if there are other names and passages that were removed entirely for that very reason?  If we focus on what's here, did he have to tell Haim's story in the manner in which he did?  I'm not claiming to know the law, but it sounds like if Weiss or Burnham were ever brought to justice over this, they could indicate that Feldman set them up with Haim knowing that they would have sex. 

I don't know what the laws would be regarding Feldman here, or if he might be classified as a victim too.  He has claimed that Weiss molested him.  Certainly, his words serve as his excuse for why he did what he did, how he rationalized his actions.  It's important to know that Feldman says he never witnessed any of these things, but in some of it, there's every indication that he knew what was happening.  It's because of these passages that some people are blaming Feldman for some of what happened to Haim.  Of course, their theories go into darker and unproven areas.  We don't know, and we may never know.  We only have his words to go on at the moment.

I'm not putting this out here to make Feldman the bad guy.  He's been victimized too.  People are counting on him to be the hero who brings some of the truth out.  He may give us some names that we haven't already heard were sentenced for sexual crimes against minors, and that would be good to know.  He may get others to talk and bring about the change in Hollywood we'd like to see, and that would be even better news.  He may not give us anything significant in the end

Pedophilia is a bad thing for so many reasons.  The victim is left with scars that never heal.  They wonder if they deserved it.  The predator can do such a good job of getting inside the victim's mind, that they wonder if they asked for it.  When it's a boy being preyed upon by a man, they may wonder if they are gay.  Left alone and allowed to grow up as a normal child, gay may never have entered the picture.  It was forced upon them, and frequently, the predator will even rationalize that the victim asked for it.  Feldman's stories about Haim, if they are to be believed, paint a picture that Haim was asking for it, but it's not as simple as that.

I would caution people to not ridicule Feldman for how he is going about this, but also, don't make him the leader of some movement to expose Hollywood pedophilia.  Encourage him to name names and tell the truth, but understand that he was a victim too.  Though he's overcome some of those demons that claimed his friend's life, he still battles them too.  I hope he tells us at least the names he's hinted at telling us, and others come forward with their stories too.  Things like this should never happen to any child.

Why They Had To Kill Bill Cooper

If you are a relatively new member of "truth" movement, you have probably heard of Alex Jones, but chances are you've never heard of Bill Cooper. However, it's patriots like him who paved the way for Jones and others to follow. Bill believed in what he was saying and lived that way. In the end, he died that way.

His Time In The UFO Community

One of the things critics say about Bill is that he was a UFO guy. In the 1980's, UFO's were the big topic. The conspiracies in America and the world were still discussed, but people like Cooper included the UFO enigma in his discussions. Going back to his time in the military, he had a desire to learn the truth. He had witnessed a craft coming out of the ocean during his time in the service that he never could explain.

Bill revealed that he had seen documents that claimed, among other things, an alien presence on the planet. He later commented that maybe these documents were revealed to him on purpose to lead him in that direction. People would send him files during the time when he was researching the UFO enigma, and he would do his research to uncover the truth. Many times, he uncovered hoaxes that way and let the people know his findings.

By the late 80's, he had his doubts about what was really at the heart of this matter. Cooper was being fed false information, and it finally came to a head when his own friend hoaxed a set of papers that ended up in his possession. This was at a time when he was receiving similar information from other sources. This led to an unpleasant parting of the ways between Cooper and this person, and Cooper's own realization that the UFO movement at the time was itself a hoax.

Moving To More Serious Matters In His Search For Answers

By the early 1990's, Bill had moved on to more important topics, but when pressed, he would always point out that the technology exists, but who's behind it is the question. He always encouraged people, whether on his radio show "The Hour Of The Time" or at speaking appearances to do their own research. "Listen to everything, " he would say, "Trust nobody until you can verify it through your own research."

Unlike some people in the movement, Bill did not relish the spotlight. He wanted to be with his family. Though he served in intelligence for the militia, he never wanted to be considered the leader. He was quoted on many occasions saying, "Do not make me your leader. I am not your leader, for I am a man and I will surely fail you."

What he always tried to do was encourage people to search for the truth and think for themselves. His book, "Behold A Pale Horse" is still one of the best books ever written in the truth movement and highlights the agenda to come if we can't stop it as well as predicting some things that have since happened.

Being Solutions Oriented

Cooper was solutions oriented. He did not preach hate of any group of people or religions. He did not preach violence, but he did preach preparedness. He showed people how to be prepared at some seminars and offered advice and tips on things like starting your own radio station or newspaper to counteract the effects of the mainstream media.

Bill created his own monthly newspaper and did a radio show from his home starting in the early 1990's. This included investing in satellite technology to allow other radio stations, big and small, to broadcast his show if they so chose. This show delved into many topics of what government was doing and dispelling the lies and rumors along the way. He strove for the truth. If he was wrong, he admitted it himself.

As he told his listeners, if you can't be honest with your listeners, they won't be listening for long. There were times when he had to correct a caller here or there, but it was never about being mean or showing himself as somehow superior. He wanted to educate people on how to do research, and he wanted his listeners to educate him too.

Researching To Uncover The Real Truth

Over the years, Cooper built up a huge library of books, recordings and videos. He did extensive research on the JFK assassination and uncovered footage that showed the driver turning and firing the fatal shot. This is controversial even in the "truth" movement. Bill had an understanding of the income tax system and did battle with the government on this issue. He practiced what he preached and did it within the confines of the law.

Unfortunately, this was a battle that saw him send his wife and children from the country for their own safely. As a man who believed in God and his country, he felt he had to take this stand. This was not an easy sacrifice to make, but he loved his family too much to see them hurt. Having survived multiple attempts on his own life, he knew it was the right thing to do.

Bill's shows and his research are still available on his web page. The Hour Of The Time was the fastest moving and most informative hour on the dial whenever it aired. One of his most insightful series was "Mystery Babylon" in which he documented the agenda of the elite of the world and where it comes from. If it was important to the movement and restoring the country, he covered it.

Cooper even took a young Alex Jones to task for being too sensationalist. The two had very differing styles as Bill tried to be more calm and scholarly in his approach, maybe more like a father teaching a son, while Alex tends to get excited about just about anything. Maybe the lesson here, though, goes back to what Bill said about not making him or anybody your leader, and trust but verify.

The Horrific Prediction

As the new millennium came, Bill could see the trouble that was coming. In June of 2001, he made his boldest prediction yet that an attack on the U.S. was imminent and even named the man who would supposedly be behind it. This was the earliest such prediction on the radio. On that fateful September day, he took to the airwaves for over ten hours as the events unfolded.

Cooper offered his take on the situation, while still being restrained. He knew that was not the time to make wild speculations, though he did offer the opinion that the event would be used to take freedoms away. He was right again. He continued to do his show until that fateful day on November 5th, Guy Fawkes Day. If you understand how they use symbology at times like this, it's not a surprise.

The Day He Was Killed

Cooper was lured out of his home and down the hill of his property to deal with supposedly rowdy teenagers. It turned out to be an ambush. He was shot in the back trying to run from his truck into his house.

His grave site lists November 6th as the date of death, because he was still alive for sometime, but allowed to bleed to death. They wanted him dead.

It is my opinion, of course, but I believe they felt they had to kill him to shut him up. Bill Clinton once referred to him as the "most dangerous talk show host in America" according to Rush Limbaugh.

They Care Not About Making Martyrs

You see, some people will say the powers that be won't kill them because it will make them a martyr, but that simply isn't true. They will kill you, frame you, send you to jail or do whatever it takes if you are a problem to them. They killed two Kennedy's, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and on and on. People cried, but they got over it. The agenda moved on.

With Bill Cooper, it was easy. The internet was just taking shape and not everybody could hear what he had to say anyway. Within a few years, he was forgotten. Alex Jones and others had moved in. You certainly won't hear Jones give any respect to Cooper, because he's still stinging from the verbal beating Bill gave him. Personally, I think Bill wanted to see Alex be a better voice, because he had an opportunity to reach more people. His comments on Jones were more in disappointment than hatred.

Why Kill Him?

They wanted Bill out of the way, because too many things he was predicting were right, and he was preaching the correct way to bring about positive change. He only stood to gain more listeners on the heels of that fateful September day, and they couldn't have that. Most of the time, they get what they want.

He isn't a martyr. People don't even remember him, and that makes me sad. Most of the time, when people looking for the truth hear Bill Cooper's words, they realize he was a good and honest man who understood what we are truly up against.

Others are building "empires" in the truth movement, but he didn't want that. The truth was much more important than money. With his speaking style, he probably could have made quite a bit of money, toned down his act, kept his family with him and might still be alive today. But, that's not who Bill Cooper was.

He wanted a country that stuck closer to the principles of The Constitution and Bill Of Rights and was driven by the desire to make a better country for his children. Fame didn't matter to him, and that's one reason he's not remembered like he probably should be. That's also why they finally had to get rid of him.

Cooper didn't play by the rules of left vs right paradigm when it came to politics. He knew what was really at stake was much bigger than that, and he was never shy when it came to talking about that fact.

Corey Feldman's Clues Lead To Soda Pop Club

It's been an interesting week for Corey Feldman as he has started a campaign to make a movie naming the abusers of himself and his friend Corey Haim.  In all, Feldman says he knows of six.  His Indeagogo campaign to raise $10,000,000 has raised concerns from those who say this is all about money for him.  Money will be put towards legal council and security.  Anybody with half a brain knows that what he proposes, bringing down some of those responsible for pedophilia in Hollywood, is risky business.  This could ultimately cost him his life.

Some people have been analyzing the clues to determine who he is talking about.  One of his abusers, Marty Weiss, has already been convicted of similar crimes against other children.  One he just named on Dr. Oz, Cloyd Jon Grissom, has also been in trouble for similar crimes.  One abuser of Feldman appears to have been identified as Alphy Hoffman.  He has yet to come out and say it.  He's basically speaking in code.  His two big clues, The Soda Pop Club in Hollywood and the guy works for the L.A. Dodgers, led right to Hoffman.

Feldman has not come right out and said it, but he has tweeted other people who are saying it.  That's not something you do if there's no truth to it, or it would be a good way to get sued.  Hoffman has removed a Twitter page because people have been Tweeting him with accusations of his alleged crimes.  My opinion at this time is that it looks bad for Hoffman, and at this point he is the biggest name.  My fear is that the rest of the rats will scurry away while Hoffman takes the all blame, and the conspiracy researchers will have a field day with this one.

The biggest problem with what Corey is doing now is people are being named by researchers based purely on speculation.  I won't name those names here, but it simply is not good to hang that label on somebody if it doesn't belong there.  There is such a hatred of Hollywood that good people could get caught up in what the bad people did.  The bad people need to go down.  If Hoffman is indeed one of them, he needs to pay for it.

Hoffman is the biggest story in Feldman's movie if the six rumored names are true.  He's the biggest name in terms of the influence he had.  He had both Feldman and Haim hosting party's a his Soda Pop Club, and none of that is disputed.  He has pictures on his old MySpace page.  As Hoffman has removed his Twitter page, expect the MySpace page to be scrubbed any time.  There are fliers about some of those parties and pictures on his page.  Hoffman was there, no question about it.  And, there were many young stars of the 1980's at those parties.  Will they be joining Feldman as I know he hopes they will?

If you study the ways of the pedo groups.  There is the procurer of kids.  Hoffman's father has also been identified based on Feldman's clues, and he was involved in getting stars for various movies and TV shows.  This has led to speculation and finger pointing at other stars based on zero evidence.  Alphy got involved in the same line of work as his dad.  But really, the Soda Pop Club was the place to be.  This is where the predator's could pray on these kids, and this is a potentially huge story as well as a heart breaking story.  If these rumors are true, you could do a whole movie on that club.

To me, Hoffman feels like the potential sacrificial lamb of an even bigger story.  My fear is if he is officially identified as a pedophile and he does go down, the attempt will be made to end the story there.  It was all his fault.  I don't believe that, although a procurer of children is a sick bastard that needs to go down.  I believe there are people involved who go further up the ladder.  Other child stars know of them, whether they speak out or not.  Corey may know more than he intends to tell, and if Hoffman is the guy, he would certainly know.

If he is the one, taking a guy like Hoffman down is a good thing.  Feldman could make a compelling movie.  Nancy Grace, Dr. Phil and countless others would pick up the story.  People would clamor for every morsel of information they could get about this story, without digging deeper.  Hell, Matt Lauer and Megyn Kelly have enough clues to start an investigation on Hoffman right now, and they won't even go there.  They are gate keepers, not reporters.  If Hoffman goes down, they will do all they can to stop the trail with him, which they are probably doing right now.  They may not even want him to go down, but if he does, it can end with him.

The danger in that game is Hoffman may want to talk and name names.  If it gets that far, he will most likely meet an unfortunate end before he can really talk.  And, if that is the game, Feldman is not in danger.  He's part of a controlled release of information, wittingly or unwittingly.  He'll be seen as a hero, but unless others start talking, this story will die they way it has every other time it started to come out.  I'm happy to see any truth come out, but I'd prefer to see the whole ugly truth come out, even if it destroys a whole industry and forces it to start over.  To me, the biggest crime in the world is robbing children of their innocence.
