Perhaps we should cover one Randy Engel LIE against Anthony Cipolla at a time

 

In 2016, Randy Engel assured us, with great confidence ... amidst the undertone of a novelist's smug suspicion ... that the evidence of Anthony Cipolla being a serial molester was blatant.  She stated that the evidence existed in the fact that Cipolla was "moved around" a lot of times, in a five-year period.  He was given multiple parish assignments in as many years.  

According to Engel, this is unheard-of, and is the tell-tale sign of a molester.  According to reality, however, the multiple parish assignments given to a newly ordained priest was something quite common.  Engel erroneously concluded that:

Of course, Randy Engel was making it look as if Anthony Cipolla kept getting caught molesting youth after youth, followed by him being assigned to a different parish, as a cover-up, over and over again.  This is why multi-million dollar defamation lawsuits exist.  

In her claiming that it was "unusual" for a newly ordained priest to be frequently shifted from parish to parish, Engel LIED.  It was and is very common for a newly ordained priest to be shifted-around, simply for the sake of gaining experience.  

Observe the reality of a newly ordained diocesan priest ... even in the 1970s, according to the Archdio of D.C, the Denver Catholic, the Jersey Catholic, EWTN, and other sources: 

 ABOVE: Get into reality and take note that the 'TYPICAL NUMBER OF MOVES" made by "NEWLY ORDAINED PRIESTS" are usually "UP TO 5 IN 5 YEARS." 
 
Now, Anthony Cipolla became a NEWLY ORDAINED PRIEST on May 27th, 1972.  Thus, it was expected for him to have been  assigned to as many as five parishes in his first five years.  

MOREOVER, instead of getting arrested in 1972 or 1973 or 1974, he received COMMENDATIONS which were known as "a recognition" & "an expression of appreciation" ... even from POLICE!!!!
 
Therefore, according to Randy Engel and her "good good New Jersey friend," the police were engaged in the cover-up of a molester priest, making the police accomplices in molestation.  To normal people, however, the police were acknowledging a 1970s priest who found a way to keep kids "off the streets" and "out of trouble."  So, were the police the accomplices of a molester or is Randy Engel the stereotypical & predictable gossipy hag of absolutely worthless value? 

Concerning Cipolla's assignments, I do know that there was one specific pastor Cipolla could not stand.  So, he requested a transfer.  But, Randy Engel insinuated that each parish assignment equally one molestation accusation.   

No, Engel simply succumbed to the influence of her pushy and emotionally disturbed "good good New Jersey friend" who wanted Cipolla gone forever.  Engel did NOT think things out.  She trusted her very pushy and hate-filled friend.  She was basically a groupie following a cult leader, at least in 2016. 

That New Jersey woman freaked out when Cipolla tried to get a home-schooling job as some kind of religion teacher.  The New Jersey woman didn't know that Anthony Cipolla:

1] Was NEVER arrested, but was rather defamed by a single mom who claimed that DNA evidence was taken from young Tucker's clothes and was positively matched to Cipolla in a hospital lab within three days time, when 1978 DNA matches took an average of 52 days to complete and the testing thereof never occurred in hospitals.

2] Was officially cleared to TWO DA offices who found that Tim Bendig's accusations against Cipolla were unfounded, being that there was zero physical evidence and no corroborating witnesses.

3]  NEVER had to register as a sex offender, being that he was never even arrested for a sex offense.

4] Had dozens of character witnesses lined-up to testify at the Tim Bendig lawsuit trial which Wuerl made sure would never happen, by giving Tim an out of court settlement shortly before the trial was schedules to start.

5] Was only accused by a Diane Thompson who was proven to be an outright wall-to-wall liar and who was the alleged puppet master of her sons, one of which was also proven to be a liar outright, especially concerning the two African Methodist Church crimes done by the same two guys who were two and three years older than Diane Thompson's eldest son ... or step son ... or whatever he was.

 6]  Had no one else accused him of molestation, even though he had youth groups dating back to 1972, proving that he was no serial molester.

7]  Plus, in the thirteen years since I was first handed the box of documents pertaining to the Cipolla Case, not a single person ever contacted me, to tell me that Cipolla molested him or anyone else.

8]  The 1993 Vatican Case had nothing to do with Tim Bendig's or Diane Thompson's accusations.  

9] Moreover, Randy Engel's New Jersey friend refused to accept that  Diane Thompson was repeated caught lying.  And it was Diane Thompson who, after sending me emails, publicly stated that I didn't exist, but rather Anthony Cipolla was running this site under my name which Diane Thompson claimed was a fictional name.  

Then came the 2016 article which concentrated the lies in one spot. 

All in all, that New Jersey woman who was obsessed with home schooling and with avoiding all Catholic schools was too emotional immature to understand this about Cipolla.  

In the end, she merely didn't simply avoid all Catholic schools.  She left the Catholic Church for a religion that does not believe in the Immaculate Conception nor the indissolubility of Marriage, as well as the primacy of Saint Peter.

Below are Cipolla's "pastoral assignments."

The Next Engel LIE: A 1965 life-changing special forces training accident at a Spartanburg base which closed in 1947

Above: Cardinal Donald William Wuerl's former Warwick Terrace home

Then came the LIE of a 1965 Special Forces training collision & explosion involving Diane Thompson's husband, at a Spartanburg South Carolina military base  ...

                          ...  which completely ceased operations in 1947. 

According to Mrs Randy Engel, some sort of husband of Diane Thompson underwent a special forces training accident that involved a vehicle collision & "an explosion," during 1965, at a military base in Spartanburg, South Carolina.  
 
That 1965 Spartanburg South Carolina military base accident was said to have been the cue ball which caused Diane Thompson ... the 1978 accuser of Anthony Cipolla ... to be forced to fend for herself as a single mother, in the era of food stamps, welfare checks, and federally funded HUD housing.  
 
The special forces training accident made Diane Thompson look like a harrowed victim of circumstances.  It then made Cipolla look like a monster taking advantage of a harrowed victim of circumstances.  
 
Now, in the 2016 Renew America article of Randy Engel, it was claimed that Diane Thompson was once married to a Tom Thompson ... in the mid-1960s ... with everything ending perhaps in 1977 with an alleged barbiturate overdose suicide.  Randy described the Spartanburg vehicle crash & explosion as such:
                          ★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

The Definitive Responses to Engel's Assertion go as follows:
 
That Spartanburg South Carolina military base actually CLOSED IN 1946, one year after the end of WWII.  It was then officially disbanded in 1947.  It was called, Camp Croft, and there was no Vietnam-era training there.  The place was a tourist sight in 1965.
 
Perhaps Diane Thompson meant to say, North Carolina base, instead of South Carolina.  Well, the special forces training center in Camp Mackall, North Carolina, was NOT in operation in the 1960s.  Thus, you cannot say that Diane Thompson meant to say, North Carolina, instead of South Carolina.  
 
This means that you can be assured that Randy Engel's Special Forces Crash & Explosion narration was a deliberate lie, designed to make you "feel sorry" for Diane Thompson and hate Anthony Cipolla all the more.  That statement which was easily proven false was also meant to make the vicious Diane Thompson appear to be the All-American sacrifice-making patriot, while simultaneously making the now-dead Anthony Cipolla look like the Enemy of the People who must die.  
 
Well, he died right after that 2016 article was published.  Randy Engel's 2016 three-part article was a murder weapon designed to permanently destroy a heart-surgery patient who was not given the opportunity to defend himself ... even though TWO DA offices cleared Cipolla of all of the accusations of a Tim Bendig who turned out to be quite the con artist, from my own personal experience ... and even though Cipolla was NEVER ARRESTED for any crime and never put on trial for any crime, including molestation.
 
Below:  Look and see what LIARS Randy Engel & Diane Thompson have been, in the claim that a "second husband" ... or the father of the second son of Diane Thompson .... was heroically serving his country, in Spartanburg, South Carolina, where there was no military base in operation.          
 ★☆★☆★☆★☆☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★ 
Now, concerning North Carolina's Camp Mackall, whoever this "second husband" or "father of the second child" of Diane Thompson was, he definitely did NOT do any special forces training there, either.  Thus, he did no special forces training in 1965 in either of the two Carolina states. 
 
To get to Vietnam, you needed to embark from California on the West Coast and NOT from the Carolinas on the East Coast.
 
Plus, you needed to train in a hot jungle environment, and North Carolina did not have that environment.  Meanwhile, South Carolina's Camp Croft had already been closed for 18 years, by the time 1965 arrived. 
 
Those two observations, alone, should have alerted the 2016 readers of the defamatory Randy Engel article that the contents of that article were fiction.  In as much, let us now adjourn to the famous Fort Bragg, also located in the Carolinas.  
 
A Randy Engel defender might come to say that Diane Thompson was mistakenly referring to Fort Bragg as the place of Vietnam special forces training, in Thompson's claim that her "second husband" was severely injured during special forces training.  
 
Well, if Fort Bragg were in California or Hawaii or Guam, the special forces claim in the Engel article might have had some legitimacy.  If Fort Bragg were situated in a heated jungle, then the defamatory Engel article of 2016 might have had an element of credibility to it.  
 
HOWEVER, the reality with Fort Bragg is that there was the 5th Special Forces stationed there and the 10th Special Forces Psychological Warfare unit, also.  However, both special forces units were stationed there, only for the purpose of paperwork and management.  Any physical training maneuvers which involved "explosions" were conducted elsewhere, in a heated jungle environment called Vietnam. 
 
Now, the 5th Special Forces was indeed established in 1961 and assigned to Fort Bragg.  HOWEVER, between 1964 and 1971 its special forces training bases were literally IN VIETNAM, to acclimate soldiers to the hot jungle environment.  Thus, there was no second husband of Diane Thompson ... or father of Diane Thompson's second child ... involved in any 1965 special forces training in either one of the two Carolina states, especially in Spartanburg where there were no military training exercises since 1945. 

Fort Bragg became the center of Psychological Warfare in 1952, and the 10th Special Forces Group was assigned to be stationed there, in the psychological warfare capacity.  Then, in 1962, JFK moved the embarkation point of 10th Special Forces to the West Coast, being that the West Coast was closer to Vietnam than was North Carolina.  
 
The important point here is that the 10th Special Forces was a cerebral military unit of psychological academics and mind games.  The 10th Special Forces was even involved in radio transmission academics, as well as electronics.  It was an Information Operations unit.  
 
Its training was the opposite of the violence seen in the stereotypical Chuck Norris movie.  The 10th Special Forces Unit was not trained to blow you up.  It was trained to take over your radio stations and to intercept enemy messages, as well as disabling enemy electronics.  It was trained to intercept your phone call, instead of blowing up the office where your phone was located.  Thus, there was no way in which 10th Special Forces training resulted in any vehicle crash & explosion.
 
Moreover, there as sure as Hell was no 10th Special Forces training in Spartanburg, South Carolina, in 1965 or ever.
 
This shows that Diane Thompson was NOT honestly mistaken, but rather, she was a deliberate liar in her harrowing special forces training tale which was nothing more fiction.  There was no second husband of Diane Thompson getting seriously injured in any 1965 special forces training "explosion" in North or South Carolina.
 
This shows that Diane Thompson ... and and and Randy Engel's "good good New Jersey friend" ... intentionally inflicted emotional distress upon heart patient, Anthony Cipolla, with the help of their asinine dupe, Mrs Randy Engel.

Engel Lie #3: The claim that the 1978 Cipolla case had DNA evidence

 If you are low on brain cells, let me help.  The 2018 Pennsylvania Grand Jury report ... on Cipolla ... was much different than the 2016 report of Randy Engel.  That 2018 report proved the 2016 Engel to be a lie.  After all,  the detective in charge expressly spoke of how Cipolla was not arrested and how the "magistrate went along with" the conclusion of five suited gentlemen whom the detective said basically ignored him.

The fact that the Cipolla Case had zero physical evidence to present to a magistrate consisted and the Diane Thompson's eldest son had no corroborating witnesses to confirm any allegations existed in sole detective of that 1978 case mentioning that he only believed that Cipolla was guilty, because the detective believed that no 12 year child would ever lie to a police officer.  

That one 12 year child's words which had NO CORROBORATING witness attached to it and no physical "evidentiary support" to confirm anything spoken by the 12 year old child was the detective's sole case. 

Go refer to the 2018 report.  There was zero mention of any semen evidence in the Cipolla case.  Moreover, the way in which Randy Engel described ... very falsely ... how Cipolla's DNA was positively identified was a sick joke.  

Firstly, a hospital in 1978 did NOT do any police-related DNA the testing.  A forensics lab did.  And the DNA test results did not pop-up in 3 hours or even 3 days.  The average amount of time it took a DNA test to be completed was 52 days.  Randy Engel's 2016 article really is a list of wall-to-wall lies.

Allegation Easy to IMPEACH 

           Before all else, you need to learn the following things through concurrence and confirmation.  The blue blocks of information below are my way of saying, "I told you so."  Those blocks of 2026 confirm as TRUE that which I stated back in 2016, 2017, etc.





More specifically, Cipolla was served with a Summary Notice to appear at a Probable Cause Hearing, on August 28, 1978.  Yet the 1978 journalist described the Summary Notice as an indictment.  The incompetent journalist of 1978 described it as an arrest.  
 
The reason why a Probable Caused Hearing was scheduled was because the police had no evidence against Cipolla, and therefore, the police could not file a police criminal complaint, otherwise known as a Police Affidavit.  
 
If there existed the evidence that Diane Thompson and her then-twelve old son claimed that there was, Cipolla would have been placed in handcuffs without being summoned to an August 28th, 1978 hearing.  Therefore ====>
 
The truth is that the scheduled August 28th hearing was to see if there were due cause to file an indictment against Cipolla, in the first place.  The hearing was to see if he was going to be arrested.  No arrest transpired.  

                                 

Below is a timeline consensus, from AI
 

In review, in order to prevent air-headed misunderstanding:  The 1978 Cipolla Case lasted 34 days, and there was NO ARREST.  There was only a scheduled PROBABLE CAUSE HEARING, and such hearings were designed to discern if whether or not there were cause to file charges in the first place.  The August 1978 hearing was cancelled an hour or so before it started, by Diane Thompson, herself.  
 
The 34 day time span is pivotal to note, because, in 1978, it took approximately 52 days for the results of a seminal fluid test to be issued by any lab.  There was NO POSITIVE seminal fluid evidence involved in 1978 Cipolla case, at all. 
 
 

Concerning Diane Thompson's false claim about semen in 1978, even if there were such a thing found on Tucker, the test results would not have come before the August 28th Probable Cause.  And if there were evidence found, then there would have no probable cause hearing needed in August of 1978:

In as much, Diane Thompson lied ... yet again.  Randy Engel was stupid enough to have believed her ... yet again.  There was no seminal fluid report in the 1978 Cipolla Case, and there was none in the 1989 Tim Bendig Case, concerning a Tim Bendig who was repeatedly accused of being a lying con artist throughout the years.

Engel Lie #4: The claim that Cipolla was arrested, that civilians can drop a criminal charge once its filed ... and that there were two detectives in the 1978 case.

 Observe another example of the outright LIES in the 2016 Randy Engel article.  According to Engel's 2016 article:  

Response:  Firstly, once criminal charges are filed anywhere in the USA, a civilian CANNOT "drop the charges."  This includes Diane Thompson.  I repeatedly explained this in prior posts.  Only a judge ... or magistrate ... as well as a DA ... or solicitor ... can drop criminal charges once they are filed.  

Thus, it was IMPOSSIBLE for the Diocese of Pittsburgh to intimidate Diane Thompson into "dropping charges against Cipolla" WHICH WERE NEVER FILED IN THE FIRST PLACE.  

Furthermore, there was ZERO semen found on Tucker Thompson, and there was ZERO DNA test of any kind performed in the 1978 case.  This was already explained in detail in other posts.

                ★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Secondly,  the name was NOT "Nehouser."  It was Mark Ninehouser and he was NOT a detective.  In fact, I spoke with Mark at length, person to person, and Mark came off as a Most Excellent Gentleman, in the Keanu Reeves definition of the phrase. 

Randy Engel did NOT speak with Mark.  I did.  She wouldn't have even known how to get in touch with him.

In 1978, Mark Ninehouser and Robert Fogle were uniformed police officers ... men in blue ... who were sent to Diane Thompson's apartment, on July 25th, 1978.  They did nothing more than jot down her story, transposed it on an official form, and then handed it over to the detective's desk, never to speak with Diane Thompson again.

Ninehouser & Fogle did NOT drive her or Tucker or Frank to any court venue, talking to her while driving.  They talked to her once only, on July 25, 1978.  They gave her no sheet of paper, saying that she was going to need it in the future.  

Oh, and as a general and non-specific fact concerning any sheet of paper being proven as an authentic one from 1978, and NOT a newly forged one in 2016,  such a sheet paper needs to be slightly yellowed ... and NOT jet white.  Even at that, I am only stating a general, at-large fact.

Now, Fogle did do "undercover" & "plain clothes" police duty.  But, this is different than being a detective.  Cases have one detective only who does the mental work.  The problem is that Diane Thompson watched too many episodes of the fictional TV series, Starsky & Hutch.   

Cipolla was never criminally indicted and/or arrested in the first place, and in order to be arraigned and then to schedule a preliminary hearing, you have to first be arrested.  

As I stated a half dozen times previously, I personally spoke at length, in a polite and informative conversation, with Mark Ninehouser.  Moreover, I located him through the Pittsburgh Steeler Organization.

Mark clearly explained what I ... and what you ... needed to know about Diane Thompson's very false assertion of him and his partner being detectives assigned to the Cipolla Case, as if they were Starsky & Hutch.  

In fact, Mark explained how Randy Engel LIED in her descriptions of where a defendant in Pittsburgh gets arraigned, in the first place.  In 1978, no one got arraigned at Police Station #9, near Bidwell St.  Defendants got arraigned at GRANT STREET, in a courtroom and NOT in a police station.  Or they got arraigned at the night court venue.  

Engel mentioned, in her defamatory 2016 article that hearings in the Cipolla case ... in a couple of instances ... occurred at police stations.  The proper response to that assertion is:


The whole "Nehouser" & Fogle detective duo story was a lie.  It was another one of Diane Thompson's many falsehoods, and Randy Engel fell for it as she fell for a catalogue of Diane Thompson's MANY LIES which were easy to prove as LIES.

Engel Lie #5: The Cassock in July, homework in July, and the harassment & intimidation accusation

 

According to the aging female writer, Randy Engel, it was in the Heat of Late July (in 1978), when the man formerly known as Father Anthony Cipolla was wearing a CASSOCK, while intruding on a single mom who, five days earlier, called the police and accused Cipolla of molesting a child or two of hers.

As a reminder, Diane Thompson said that she had to "pry the information " out of Tucker ... after talking and talking and talking to him, finally getting the answer she sought, almost immediately after After Cipolla told her that his parish did not have the money to pay her monthly apartment and therefore could not do so.

This 1978 claim of having to "pry for information" from the young Tucker was the same type of thing said by the occasional social worker who pried outrageously ridiculous accusations from the mouths of the McMartin PreSchool children of the 1980s.

There are a number of cases where a mother or a social worker claimed to have finally "pried out incriminating information" from youths who accused certain adults of outrageous crimes.  Each one of those cases turned out to be a hoax prompted by ... instigated by ... a relentless mother or social worker who kept badgering the children being interrogated for the answer that the mother or social worker wanted to hear.

Cassocks-in-July is a fictional tale

Concerning Randy Engel stating that Anthony Cipolla appeared on the porch of Diane Thompson's apartment in the Heat of July, while Tucker was diligently doing his homework in the middle of Summer Vacation, take note:

Cassocks are for cold-weather months, and are NOT typically worn in late July ... in the Northern Hemisphere ... in case you didn't know.

BTW, I asked a few former followers of Anthony Cipolla if anyone of them ever saw Cipolla dressed in a cassock.  The answer was always, "No."  All of the Cipolla followers with whom I spoke said that they never saw Anthony Cipolla in a cassock.  So stated for the record.

 
Meanwhile, Mrs Randy Engel also asserted that Cipolla appeared while Young Tucker was diligently doing his homework at a kitchen table ... on July 30th, 1978.  Well, ladies & gentlemen, this was during the HEART OF SUMMER VACATION, when school had been out for over 7 weeks ... and while there were still five or so weeks of Summer Vacation remaining, before the ringing of the first school bell of 1978.
 
The Motive in Demonizing Cipolla 
 
Randy Engel's "good good New Jersey friend" manipulated the contents of the 2016 article, in order to drastically demonize an Anthony Cipolla whom she literally wanted off of Planet Earth
 
I personally spoke with Randy Engel's good good New Jersey friend for many hours.  She wanted Cipolla completely disregarded, avoided, and entirely ignored.   She vehemently, in a paranoiac tone of voice, kept telling me to not even begin the Cipolla investigation.  I complied ... until I was handed a box of documentation on the case.  And then my conscience was alerted.  
 
Well, if she were a woman of truth, then she would have invited me to continue investigating Cipolla, to prove without the shadow of a doubt that he was guilty of molestation.  It were as if that woman feared that numerous pieces of exculpatory evidence in favor of Cipolla would arise.  And exculpatory evidence kept rising like artifacts during an archeological excavation.
 
Cipolla was in too much pain to molest or hurt anyone in 2016
 
The huge issue concerning the outright paranoia of Randy Engel's "good good New Jersey friend" is that, in 2016, Anthony Cipolla had painful and debilitating medical conditions which included heart surgery, a previous minor heart attack, and diabetic neuropathy.  I heard Cipolla in pain many times, over the phone.  And yes, it included the predictable back pain.  Yet, Randy Engel's "good good New Jersey friend" saw Cipolla as a danger to humanity. 
 
In my private citizen's personal opinion, the "good good New Jersey friend" of Mrs Randy Engel wanted Cipolla dead, and she got what she wanted.
 
The Harrowing July Homework Fairy Tale ... in addition to the "Cassock in July" tale: 
 
Concerning the claim that Young Tucker was doing homework at a kitchen table on July 30th, 1978, a person set on defending Randy Engel's 2016 defamatory writing would respond, by claiming that Young Tucker was probably doing Summer School homework.  Well, that conjecture is very easy to disprove.  Observe:
 
According to the Pittsburgh Teachers' Union Contract of the late 1970s, there was to be no summer school occurring in the final week of July.  This was done, so that union teachers could get valid vacation time before the start of the "teachers' in-service days" which immediately occurred a few days before the start of the school year.  

Moreover, the start of the school year was scheduled to immediately follow Labor Day.  Thus, the Teachers' In-Service Days were scheduled for Late August.  
 
This is why the union contract made sure that there would be NO SUMMER SCHOOL in the last week of July.  In as much, it is 100% certain that the Young Tucker was NOT doing any summer school homework on July 30th, 1978, as Randy Engel claimed. 
 

Moreover, the 1978 accusing mother could have easily gotten a Restraining Order against Cipolla.  She could have simply called the police, if he did appear on her porch in a cassock, on July 30th.  But of course, the entire story can be written-off as a deliberate lie, because it was one big lie to have claimed that Tucker was doing homework during a time when there was no school.  

No one in the early 1970s youth groups ever accused Cipolla

If Anthony Cipolla were such a notorious child molester, then why did no one from any of his early 1970s youth groups ever accuse him of any wrongdoing?  People in those youth groups had 53 years to come forth and state their accusations.  
 
In fact, if Cipolla ever molested you, call me.  I'm actually polite when speaking, because you have to be even-keeled and properly mannered, in order to get residential & commercial construction work.
