Wuerl's Decisive Factor in His Signatura Reversal over Cipolla: An Archbishop Zenon Grocholewski who, as policy, sided with a bishop over the bishop's subordinate priest.

The decisive factor in Wuerl's "amazing" Vatican Signatura reversal wasn't amazing.  No

new evidence was known to have been in any of the brief case(s) Wuerl was said to have taken to Rome.  The only major factual inaccuracy was that the founder of St Luke's Institute had died, and the Saint Luke Institutes reformed its diagnosis policy.

For those of you unfamiliar, Donald Wuerl was tooted as a bishop who fought

the Vatican "to remove a molester priest."  Stop there.  There was NEVER any

evidence or credible witness accounts that the priest ever molested anyone.  The

woman who accused him of molesting her son one time decades ago was caught

lying about it, via fact checking.  After all, she claimed that the priest was arrest-

ed.  However, the priest was never arrested anywhere at any time for anything.

In addition, the Tim Bendig who claimed that the priest molested him for six con-

secutive years is a known liar who even lied to me and threatened to destroy my

life, followed by him begging me to interview him, even to the point of promis-

ing to let me see his lawsuit's deposition which was already located prior to him

turning into a begging coward.  Something that Bendig wrote to me was entirely

contrary to the modus operandi of a true molester.  Therefore, Bendig's own words

weakened his case completely.

The accused priest, an Anthony Cipolla, was found to have a  history contrary to

any molester and any homosexual.  Ironically, we found that the effeminate Don-

ald Wuerl had an extreme nexus to the Sodomite world.  In as much, Wuerl had

motive to use Cipolla as a smoke screen, being that District Attorney John Pettit

already accused Wuerl and his diocesan administrators as impeding the criminal

investigation of three priests Wuerl covered, none of whom was Anthony Cipolla.

Wuerl also had motive to cover the accusations leveled against his former boss,

John Cardinal Wright.  Now, Wright was directly accused by an individual who

claimed to have been paid $20 per Sodomy session, in regular intervals.  Wuerl

never reported Wright to any authority.  Thus, Wuerl was either complicit or

clueless.  If he were complicit, he was engaged in criminal conduct.  If he were

clueless, then it shows him to be a terrible leader who should never have been

ordained a bishop in the first place.  Ironically, the male present nicknamed

Wuerl the Girl only rose in power because of his nexus to John Wright, an

accused sex criminal.

The big mystery about the Vatican rehearing was claim of  "the major factual

inaccuracies."  The "inaccuracies" were never revealed to the public.  Well,

after three years of occasional research, the answer would be eventually be

found.  It's mentioned below.  None the less . . .

The reversal that Wuerl won didn't have anything to do with anything Wuerl

said at the hearing where Cipolla was absent.  That is to say that Wuerl was

NOT known to have performed any great oration at the hearing which ended

up changing the hearts of any Vatican officials.  If Wuerl did so, his speech

would have been published in all of the Pittsburgh newspapers and on a few

Pittsburgh walls, as well.  Instead, after Wuerl won his reversal, the front

cover of a major Pittsburgh newspaper had a full length photo of Cipolla.

This was because they had NO words with which to fill in the space.

In conclusion, there are was no indication that Wuerl used any evidence oth-

er than that which was used in the first round.  All that he was able to do was

state that the diagnose of Anthony Cipolla, by St. Luke's Institute, was not

done under the management of an out-of-the-closet homosexual who advo-

cated pansexualism.  That same diagnosis could now be applied to the new-

ly acquired definition of psychic defect.

Keep in mind that the Signatura ordered to be given the definition of that one

phrase.  Then, after Wuerl won his reversal, he presented the case in a very

false light.  All that Wuerl claimed at the Signatura was that Cipolla was sad

and might kill himself.  If you have evidence to the contrary, then send it now.

If you know the aforesaid to be true, then confirm so.

The deciding factor in Wuerl's reversal had nothing to do with the secret brief

cases mentioned by Pgh Post Gazette writer Ann Rodgers who would soon be

caught lying to the public in print.  The deciding factor of Wuerl's "rehearing"

was allegedly Polish.  It was human.  It was alive.  It was allegedly an arch-

bishop on the Signatura's panel who, as a matter of policy, believed in siding

with bishops over their subordinate priests.  The deciding factor in the Wuerl

reversal was named Zenon Grocholewski.

Concerning the only "major factual inaccuracy"

found in the Cipolla case, it goes as follows:

Firstly, Wuerl's only evidence against Cipolla was the diagnosis of a St Luke's

Institute in Maryland.  It's doctor(s) who assessed Cipolla simply stated that Ci-

polla suffered from Depressin & Suicidal Tendencies.  In as much, the Vatican

Signatura, in the first hearing, judged that the diagnosis given  to Cipolla was

invalid.  It's reasoning was that a place operated by an out-of-the-closet homo-

sexual who advocated pansexualism did not have valid diagnoses.

The Vatican Signatura's ruling was written in 1993.  Well, the founder of Saint

Luke's Institute died of AIDS in 1987.  Thus, in 1993, St. Luke's was no longer

being operated by an out-of-the-closet homosexual who advocated pansexual-

ism.  Therefore, the time line enabled a person to reconsideration if whether the

assessment of Saint Luke's was valid or not.

The aforementioned is the ONLY major factual inaccuracy found in four years

of co-research.  In as much, if media hog, Donald Wuerl, had any damning evi-

dence against Cipolla, you can be reasonably assured that Wuerl would have

had the evidence published in the newspapers & aired on Television,  All that

was published in the newspapers were a number of falsehoods and sleight of

hand deceptions which made Cipolla look like the monster that he was never

proven to be.  In fact, the newspaper testimony of the 1978 accuser was easy

to prove false.  The problem was that no one did any fact checking for years.

Plus, it had long since been concluded that 1988 accuser, Tim Bendig, was a

perpetual liar who might have plagiarized the 1978 accusation which has zero

evidence or witnesses to support it.  In fact, Bendig's lawsuit was so weak that

his attorney had to use the 1978 case in very exaggerated and fraudulent terms.

The 1978 case was presented in a false light.  Rather, in the early 1970s Cipol-

la was given plaques of appreciation for his services in two youth groups, and

no one in those groups ever accused him of any ill conduct.

Keep in mind that the media deceptively made it sound as if Cipolla were an

out-of-control monster in need of long-term psychiatric care, in that no one

from the Pittsburgh media stated that Cipolla's diagnosis was merely Depres-

sion and Suicidal Tendencies.  Well, the second psychiatric institute to assess

Anthony Cipolla's mental health said that he had no such Suicidal Tendencies

and that being sad on account of having your reputation destroyed is a normal

reaction.  St. Michael's of NY, the second institute, gave Cipolla a clean bill

of health.

The 2016 Randy Engel Article: Fact-checked falsehoods w/ contradictions of previous testimony

Pittsburgh:  Where Wuerl severely abused his position.

NOTE:  The PA Grand Jury report on Anthony Cipolla is much different than

the hyper-exaggerated stories of 1995, 2015, and 2016.  The Randy Engel

version is a showcase in out-of-touch-with-reality conspiracy theories.  It

was beyond pathetic.  In as much, it's the tamed versions of a priest cover-

up which has credibility, being that the church was dealt in pernicious &

subtle pea-and-shell game approaches in sexual aggression cases.  She

should have simply waited for the 2018 PA Grand Jury Report to have

come, and if she thinks that her overly-sensationalistic version is like

the PA Grand Jury Report, then the aged women is psychotic.  Her

version is a pathetic embarrassment to any writer who seeks reality.

Thesis Statement:

The November 2016 article of Randy Engel proved how much of a liar is Di-

ane Thompson, because the allegations of Diane Thompson stated in Randy

Engel's article contradicts the October 13, 1995 article that quoted Thompson

on two pages of newspaper print.

Whether Cipolla committed molestation or not, Diane Thompson IS a liar, and

I concur with famed journalist Jason Berry, of Maciel Fame, on this case.  Mr.

Berry stated that the Cipolla Case was a "peculiar one from the start."  My ex-

act quote on the case was that:

If Cipolla did molest and then harass anyone, it was not the way Diane Thomp-

son narrated it.  I also said:  This is the one case where you can't believe any-

one who was there in 1978, with any degree of confidence.

______________________________________________________________

I was alerted to the existence of a November 2016 article by Randy Engel

where within she claimed to have interviewed one of Diane Thompson's

two sons.  It would sound like a trustworthy article consisting of true alle-

gThompson's past accusations, and it contained new allegations which were

fact-checked and proven false.  The allegations of criminal procedure do

NOT correlate with the actual Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure.

In order to cut to the chase and give examples of the falsehoods which appear

in the November 2016 Engel article, it was alleged by Diane Thompson that

she had to pay a $45 admission fee, in order for her eldest son, Frank, to go

to the Michigan summer camp that was held on the seminary grounds of the

Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions.  She made herself out to be the har-

rowed and heavily burdened martyr who had to sacrifice greatly, to pay the

$45 admittance fee.

NEWSFLASH:  I am in contact with a family who has two sons who were 

in Cipolla's company very often.  One of the two gentlemen attended the 

exact same Michigan seminary summer camp as did Diane Thompson's

eldest son, though in a different year.  This particular youth traveled to

Michigan with the Tim Bendig who claimed to have been molested by Ci-

polla for consecutive years.   According to that gentlemen and his mom,  

they did NOT have to pay any $45 fee.  Diane Thompson lied yet again.

Furthermore, the gentleman said that NOTHING suspicious between

Cipolla and Bendig was ever observed by him.  However, he did say,

"Tim was weird.   Really weird."  Furthermore, he stated that Cipolla

never tried anything on him.  He is in the approximate, though general,

age range as is Frank Labieaux, the son whom Thompson claims was

molested by Cipolla in Michigan.

At this point, it is important for the reader to know of the existence of the long

Pittsburgh Post Gazette which quotes Diane Thompson's damning allegations

against Anthony Cipolla and then-Bishop Vincent Leonard, all the while keep-

ing Thompson's name anonymously held in confidence.  It appeared in the

OCTOBER 13, 1995 EDITION OF THE PITTSBURGH POST GAZETTE.

Pages A-16 and A-17, as well as the front page.

As an example of how the Engel article contradicts the allegations of Diane

Thompson in the October 13, 1995 Pittsburgh Post Gazette article that at-

tacks Cipolla's character to the depths:

IN the October 1995 Pittsburgh Post Gazette article, Thompson stated that

she had TWO daughters in a "first marriage" and TWO sons in a "second

marriage."  IN the Nov 2016 Engel article, Thompson claimed to have three

sons and one daughter, and that Tucker Thompson and Frank Labieaux 

had different dads.  According to her in 1995, Frank and tucker had the 

same dad.

The fact is the she did have three sons, and one of the three's 2009 obituary 

can be readily found online.  Nothing about his death is mentioned.  In as much,

Thompson lied to the Pittsburgh Press on that allegation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

As another example, the Engel article alleged that Cipolla was taken into police

custody, thereby being officially arrested.  The Engel article then stated that the

same Anthony Cipolla was released on his own "cognizance," and was told to

reappear for his arraignment.  Stop there.  This is the writing of someone who

does not know the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure.

Firstly, a person is only released on his own recognizance by a judge at the

person's arraignment.  The arraignment is simply the bail hearing where it's 

surmised if the defendant is 1} a flight risk, 2} a danger, 3} no physical

threat, etc.  The defendant is also checked if he/she has to automatically

be placed on "detainer."  For example, if the defendant was arrested 

while being on parole, that person gets an automatic detainer.  If that 

is the case, then the defendant is denied bail.

When you are officially arrested, you are held overnight, and then sent to 

your arraignment pronto.   You don't go home and wait for arraignment, 

BECAUSE the arraignment is the official assessment that sees if you get

to go home, in the first place.

________________________________________________________________

The Engel article also stated that detectives from Police Station #9 were sent

to Cipolla's Northside residence.

Firstly, there are only SIX police zones in Pittsburgh.  The North Side of 

Pittsburgh is Zone #1 ... not #9. 

Now, in Pittsburgh Police history,  Police Station #9 was/is located on Mount

Washington, in the South Side of Pittsburgh, and NOT on the North Side of

Pittsburgh, as Randy Engel claimed.

PLUS, PLUS, PLUS:  Engel stated that there was one piece of evidence that re-

remained in tact, certain the Diane Thompson case that accused Cipolla of moles-

tation.  It was the Offense/Incidence Report, signed by a couple detectives.

Uhhhhm,  ladies and gentlemen, that is NOT evidence.  That is the PRIVATE 

CRIMINAL COMPLAINT FORM as was used in the 1970s.  I filled out a

couple of those Offense/Incidence Report, in order to have criminal charges

filed against certain persons.  I'm no stranger to it.  

All in all, there is a difference between the accusation and the evidence.  That 

sheet was the accusation.  It was NOT the police officer's or detective's affi-

davit.  Proof consists in the fact that, at the right hand side of the paper, 

there is a box where it is asked, "Do you want to prosecute."

Now, police NEVER prosecute.  Thus, no page of legal procedure will ask a

policeman if he/she wants to prosecute.  It is a question to civilians.  I already

explained how the Private Criminal Complaint works in Pennsylvania.  For

starters, the initial paperwork is filed at a magistrate's office.  Diane Thomp-

son neglected to tell any journalist that she was in need of filing at Baldy

Reagan's office.  Baldy Reagan was a Pittsburgh magistrate.

In as much, a detective might have filled it out for a citizen who had trouble

filling it out, or a detective might have dictated what the citizen needed to

write.  It was not his legally binding testimony.

None the less, a question should immediately pop into your mind.  Q: Why 

would a citizen go to a magistrate to fill out a private criminal complaint 

form if he/she doesn't want to prosecute?  

ANS:  For insurance claim purposes.  The last time we had a police officer at

the Pittsburgh office, in reporting yet another burglary, we were asked if we want-

ed an investigation or if we just wanted a police report (with official CCR number)

to give to the insurance adjustors.

There are more ways to convince people who have no legal training that the report

to which Engel referred was NOT a police officer's report but only the private crim-

inal complaint

Once again, the thing which Randy Engel falsely called evidence was nothing

more than the private criminal complaint form.  In fact, it contains blocks

were the private citizen writes in the witnesses to the wrongs done, and their

contact information.

___________________________________________________________________

Cipolla was NEVER arrested or charged.  He was merely served a Summary 

Notice signed by Diane Thompson which instructed him to show up in City 

Court for a MOTIONS HEARING ... aka "Probable Cause Hearing" which

had the equal effect of a preliminary hearing.

It was part of a private citizen's private criminal complaint, where Thomp-

son was required to show due cause as to why the presiding judge was to 

"Issue Process" and have Anthony Cipolla indicted and arraigned.  But,

Diane Thompson withdrew her private criminal complaint shortly before 

the Motions Hearing, aka the hearing equivalent to a quasi-preliminary

lhearing.  Anthony Cipolla was NEVER in handcuffs.

__________________________________________________________

The 2016 Engel article mentions that Diane Thompson remarried in 1984.

The 1995 Pittsburgh Post Gazette NEVER mentioned this.  Instead, it stat-

ed that the "second marriage" guy was coming in and out of her life even in

1995.  Now, if that was happening, it was a bizarre setting of two de facto

husbands at the same time in her life.

Even at that, there are a string of contradictions of Thompson's allegations.

Here is another example:

I have digital evidence that it was alleged directly to me by a confidant of Di-

ane Thompson that Tucker told Diane that Anthony Cipolla had sores all over

his body.  NOW . . .

In the Engel article of 2016, the damning allegation was that Cipolla played

proctologist and invaded Tucker's private regions with one hand, while doing

an invasive sexual act upon Tucker front side with the other hand.  This would

mean that Cipolla was clothed.  So, how could Tucker see the sores?

____________________________________________________

In the 2016 Engel article, Thompson alleged that Frank Labieaux went to live

in Florida after being arrested for vandalizing a neighboring church.  She then

said that Frank called her from Florida, to tell her what Cipolla allegedly did

to him.  Well . . .

In the 1995 Post Gazette article, Thompson alleged that she sat down BOTH

of her sons, telling them that they were going to have to put the Cipolla inci-

dent out of their minds.  In order to do that, Frank had to have been in Pitts-

burgh.  So, where was he?  In Florida of Pittsburgh?  

Take note that, in the 1995 article she said that she only had TWO sons.  She had

three, one of whom died in 2009.  There is no information in print as to how he

died.  None the less, she had three sons and told the Post Gazette that she

only had two.

 ________________________________________________________________

The falsehoods and contradictions go on and on and on and on, in the November

2016 Engel article.  It severely contradicted the 1995 article that the Pittsburgh

Post Gazette published on the subject.  It was the article where Diane Thompson

was quoted as having alleged overly-theatrical things, while keeping Thompson's

name confidential.

The November 2016 article attributed to Randy Engel was at variance, in pertinent

part, with Diane Thompson's own 2015 & 2016 web log posts, as well.  It was also

different, in specific part, from the narration that Thompson gave to a certain per-

son who asked to be kept in anonymity.

The article was also at variance, in part, with the contents of the harassing, rude, and

derisive emails that Thompson sent to me in 2015.  I was compelled to block her in

short order, being that she was so podunk-trash-crass and intrusive.  The woman has

no temperance, to say the least.

When a Retraction is Needed

I learned from my lawyer conference that a person must first give a writer or editor

or published the opportunity to make retractions.  And the need must be stated in

specificity.

As an example in the Year 2015, someone not related to the Cipolla case wrote to

me about another subject about which I wrote.  That person definitively stated what

needed to be changed the third time he wrote to me.  I then changed what needed

to be changed on his third communication, being that the first two were too vague.

So, if there is an error on this site that needs correction, simply state it specifically

and get to the point.  I will then change it, if what you state it true.  If it's plausible,,

but not proven true, I'll add 'alleged.'

All that Diane Thompson did was attack and ridicule me.  Her first sentence to me

contained "bull s**t."  She didn't state what was erroneously stated in as far as went

names, dates, locations, spelling, etc.  She simply attacked my character.  If she only

would have acted civilized on the first, second, or even third email, I would have had

a series of conversations with her.  However, she is a liar, whether Cipolla molested

her two sons or not.  Her account of the Cipolla transactions, as appeared in the Pitts-

burgh Post.

Now, every time Thompson speaks to someone new, she tells a new and amended

story about Cipolla and her family.  Cipolla, on the other hand, to ld the same story,

inserting the same names, over and over.  It had gotten to the point where Cipolla

would tell me the same story, and I would start reciting it word-for-word.  He re-

sponded once by saying, "I'm trying to talk here," upon which I realized that he

kept telling me the same set of stories for the sake of emotional release.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE:

Thompson said to a Pittsburgh Post Gazette journalist in 1995 that then-Bishop

Vincent Leonard instilled a sense of guilt in Diane Thompson for filing what

the Post Gazette in 1978 stated was a Summary Notice and what the 1995 Post

Gazette stated was the "filing of criminal charges."  Thompson said that Vincent

Leonard said that the Church had just lost two popes and her suffering greatly.

Well, the second pope to die in 1978 wasn't even elected pope yet.  This proved

Diane Thompson to be a liar.

Well, in the 2016 Randy Engel article, it is alleged that Bishop Leonard only

pointed out the one death of Paul VI.  Thus, Thompson changed her story yet

again.

In addition, it was proven that the Vatican Case against Cipolla only dealt

with his diagnosis of Depression & Suicidal Tendencies, given by a doctor

of St. Luke's in Maryland.  It was a Psychic Defect case and did NOT cover

molestation. 

Plus, Ann Rodgers of the Post Gazette stated that Wuerl went to Rome with

a Police Arrest Report in his brief case.  No such thing ever existed.  Cipolla was

never arrested, never charged, never arraigned, etc.  This was being mentioned

numerous times

Engel Severely Misrepresented Elements of Law ... to the point of lying ... to fit her story and make it sound like the truth.

All she had to do was wait for the PA Grand Jury Report.  Instead, she was arrogant enough to have believed that her Cipolla story was anything other than a hyper-exaggeration that proved that she knows nothing about American law.

She comes off as a know-it-all, but she knew ZERO about law.  After 70+ yrs of living, you would think that she would have learned a little bit of American law.  No.  Not at all.  Such a person is usually nothing more than a gossip, in being too lazy to learn law or basic economics or basic physics or even basic statistical analysis, etc.

Now, let's get to an element of law that Engel pathetically massacred, in Randy Engel's attempt to explain it:

She stated that Anthony Cipolla was arrested upon Diane Thompson "pressing charges" (which is 100% false.)  She then stated that a conspiracy started, with the help of then-Bishop Vincent Leonard.  She furthermore claimed that District Attorney Bob Coville forced the same Diane Thompson to drop charges, by signing signing a sheet or two of paper that enabled Anthony Cipolla's criminal record to be expunged.  

Newsflash:  All that Colville needed to do, in any case already filed, was to dismiss the charges himself.  No signature of any civilian has any legal bearing thereof.  Now, another question should arise.  Q:  What is done to a corrupt DA who dismisses the case of someone actually guilty of a crime?  ANS:  The corrupt DA is brought before a "review board."  The review board could possibly have his power taken away from him, for starters.

Now, one of two the retired officers who were said to have arrested Cipolla as detectives was located.  I found him through the Pittsburgh Steeler Corporation, and MARK NINEHOUSER expressly told me that he never did such a thing.  He never arrested Cipolla.  Neither did his work partner.  Moreover, he and his work partner were NOT detectives.  They were uniformed police officers, clad in blue.

Secondly ::::::: Engel wrote that "an expungement is a civil action."  Uhhhhhm no, it's not.  A civil action is a lawsuit.  An expungement is a court order, arising from a motion to the court, at the end of a criminal action where the defendant prevailed.  More specifically, an expungement is the final process of a criminal action which has been dismissed in favor of the defendant.

Engel also said that the expungement process is STARTED by the accuser of the person whose criminal record is sought to be expunged.  Woooo doggie!  Someone has checked-in to the Non-Reality Motel.  Why would anyone who accused a person of a crime want to have that person's record disappear and then to have that person walk free???

The following is what an expungement  actually is, and it's very simple to explain:

An expungement consists in destroying all vestiges of the defendant's arrest and due processing thereof.  It destroys more than the paperwork.  I am not getting into detail what is actually destroyed and how, because Diane Thompson will use my detailed

explanation in her next set of lies, in order to make her story look authentic, if I publicly post it.

Now, Engel said that expunged records are sealed and placed in a secret archive.  FALSE.  They are entirely destroyed, a la paper shredder.  Even evidence gets a visit to a trash can.  None the less, concerning Engel's false definition of an expungement:

If an expungement were a civil action, it would denote an entirely new case that starts from Stage 1, and an entirely new docket number.  An expungement is the final stage of an existing case, and not a new case in itself.

 

More importantly, expungements have a FEE attached to them.  Depending on the city and state, the price (before Biden Inflation) was $200, $250, $300, $400 or so.  Now, let me show you how much Engel knows NOTHING about law.  You will see her asininity in the following comment that she made in her three-part article.  Let's go to it:

Engel made reference to the 1989 Beaver County DA's formal findings on the investigation started by Tim Bendig's private criminal complaint against Anthony Cipolla.  The findings were that there were no grounds upon which to file criminal charges against Cipolla.

Concerning the official DA letter,  Engel went on to state to the effect, "What about all the molesting that Cipolla did" (if any at all) "in 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, & 1986?"  Engel stated that the Beaver County DA should have filed criminal charges against Cipolla for Bendig's accusations of 1981 to 1986.

Now, what is completely asinine about  that statement by which it proves that Engel knows nothing about law and doesn't think rationally?

ANS:  Bendig's accusations of 1981 to 1986 involved acts that he alleged to have been committed upon him IN AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT JURISDICTION.  They involved Allegheny County, and the Beaver DA cannot file criminal charges against anyone for allegations said to have been committed in another county jurisdiction.  Bendig tried in that "other jurisdiction" and failed to obtain an indictment.

Why didn't Engel mention the Allegheny County DA's office denying Tim Bendig his petition to have Cipolla indicted, along with the Beaver County DA?  And why did she never mentioned the Oakland NJ Police Dept giving Cipolla a plaque of appreciation, thereby showing that those policemen never had reason to suspect him of being a molester?

More Notes:

Oh, by the way, concerning the damning allegation of a 70 year old convenience store owner hitting young Tucker in the face, for accusing Cipolla of molestation, do you really believe that that overly theatrical story ever happened?  Now think.  Diane Thompson's name was NEVER in the newspapers, never on television, and never on the radio.  Tucker's name was never in the papers, never mentioned on TV, and NEVER mentioned on the radio.  So, how would that store owner have known  that Tucker made the accusation, in the first place?

Did such a store owner exist?  The story is too theatrical to be taken seriously.

In addition, we are talking about a major American metropolis here.  How many 70 yr old seniors work at a store that is corporately owned, (or corporately leased)?  When was the last time you saw a 70+ yr old gentleman working in a metropolitan convenience store?  Keep in mind that, in 1978, the retirement age was 65 years old.  Plus, in 1978, Pittsburgh was the King of Steel, and those steelworker pensions were plentiful.

Next:

And then there was mention of a Bernie Thompson suddenly dying in the State of Florida where I went to college.  Engel stated that he was hit by a car while crossing the road/street/highway, trying to get a homeless man a "decent meal."

Uhm, if he were crossing the street, trying to get a homeless man a decent meal, then the man was walking next to him.  So, why didn't the homeless man get hit by the car and killed, too?  I have a subscription to the archives of thousands of American newspapers, and I could NOT find any article of any man getting hit by a car while trying to get a homeless man a decent meal.  None the less . . .

Being that one of my alma maters was a Florida university that borders the Hillboro River and West Kennedy Blvd, I am very familiar with the homeless.  What a person usually did, if he didn't ignore the homeless person, was give him money and let him get the meal himself.  Plus, some of those guys were super harassing people.  A person would cross a street / road / or highway, just to get away from the overly obnoxious homeless person.  When fleeing someone pushy, we sometimes don't look both ways before crossing the street.  None the less . . .

I could neither find any article about a "Tommy Thompson" taking his own life at the hands of sleeping pills or pills similar, despite my subscriber's access to over a thousand American newspapers.

By the way, the most common form of suicide for a woman, and NOT a man, is death by barbiturate overdose.  The most common form of suicide for a man is death by gun shot.

For Future Article Writing:

Then comes the Mexico Street allegations in the Engel article.  Nothing in those damning allegations fit.  Now, I am all for reporting Anthony Cipolla as a criminal, but all of the articles that damn him to the pits of Hell are bullet riddled with fact-checked lies..

Oh, and then there is a "medical report thing," about traces of a lubricant coming from a hospital.  Very simply, if it did exist ... and if it were sent to "detectives," it would have come from THE FORENSICS LAB.  Thus, if Engel would have stated that the "report" came from the Forensics lab, her paragraph on the subject would have carried a bit of plausibility.

You know, magistrates are known to order forensics testing.  Was there any magistrate ordering any testing in this case?  That's another reason why the Engel article and Thompson web log posts are easily recognizable as frauds.  There is no mention of a magistrate being involved.

One more thing, concerning Tim Bendig's alleged ability to con people:

Keep in mind that Bendig almost had me conned, until he stated something I knew to be a lie, and then Bendig changed his story three more times, making him even more of a liar in my eyes.  If I weren't a document hunter, Bendig would have succeeded in conning me as much as he succeeded in conning Engel.   Randy Engel had gotten lazy.

None the less, there is a way to tell if Bendig is lying, if you can see him speaking.  I declined to interview him in person, because he is a liar, and I couldn't risk him claiming that I said something that I never said.  So, I avoided him.  

HOWEVER, if I could interview ... interrogate ... Bendig in a public setting with a camera present (to prove that I didn't threaten him) I will be able to tell if he is lying, line item by line item.  I will then be able to follow the cues and find out, once and for all, if he were ever physically invaded by Cipolla.

All in all, Randy Engel is NOT the guardian of truth.  It was written that Engel's book, the Rite of Sodomy ... or whatever it's called ... is not for the faint of heart.   Actually, Randy Engel's writings are NOT for the high class ... or the discreet ... or those who have a sense of decency ... or those who cringe at vulgarity
