As the California Criminal Trial of Howard K. Stern, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich looms for August 4, 2010, the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith tightens the noose on four major witnesses.

You have to wonder if this will affect the credibility of Ford Shelley, G. Ben Thompson, Gina Thompson Shelley, Gaither Ben Thompson II and Melodie Thompson as well as attorney Susan Brown. It also appears that Magistrate Judge Thomas E. Rogers III for the South Carolina Federal Court decided to issue this Order without need of a Hearing.

On July 1, 2010 the Court in South Carolina issued an Court Order allowing the addition of Gaither Thompson II, Gina Shelley, Melodie Thompson and the attorney Susan Brown and her Law Firm in Atlanta Georgia. The new defendants have twenty one (21) days to answer the Amended First Complaint so don’t look for this to go to trial before the criminal charges in California is tried to conclusion.

HERE ARE THE HIGH POINTS I FOUND IN THE COURT’S SEVEN (7) PAGE ORDER

“Plaintiff asserts causes of action for conversion, wrongful taking of estate property in violation of California Probate Code § 850, et seq., statutory and common law commercial appropriation of right of publicity in violation of California Civil Code § 3344.1, unjust enrichment/restitution, unfair competition in violation of California Business & Professional Code § 17200, et seq., violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1030(a)(5) and civil conspiracy.

That the Estate’s property has been distributed to other entities including Geraldo Rivera with Fox News, the O’Quinn Law Firm, former television journalist Rita Cosby, and the California Department of Justice.

Counsel for Ford has consented to the filing of the proposed Amended Complaint. See Email from MacDonald to Lantta dated October 28, 2009. Thompson has not filed a Response in opposition the motion. The only opposition comes from proposed new Defendants Brown and the Law Firm. 1 Brown argues that allowing the amendments would be prejudicial to her and would be futile as to the claims against her. Brown does not appear to oppose the addition of Gaither, Melanie and Gina as Defendants in this action or to the addition of factual allegations regarding Ford’s distribution of Estate property to other third-parties.

[Brown] argues that she would be prejudiced due to the fact that she has not had the opportunity to participate in discovery as a party. However, in his Response, Plaintiff asserts that he is not opposed to amending the deadlines in this case to allow Brown to conduct discovery.

Brown argues that, as former counsel in this case, she is immune from the claims Plaintiff seeks to allege. Generally, an attorney is immune from liability to third persons arising from the performance of his or her professional activities as an attorney on behalf of and with the knowledge of his or her client. See Hunt v. Mortgage Electronic Registration, 522 F. Supp.2d 749, 758 (D.S.C. 2007). However, both Thompson and Ford testify that they did not authorize her to distribute Estate property to the O’Quinn Law. Firm.

The Clerk of Court is directed to file the Amended Complaint, which is attached as an exhibit to Plaintiff’s Motion. Plaintiff must serve the Amended Complaint within 15 days of the date of this Order. Defendants must respond in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Ok after reading the First Amended Complaint I see this is the same exhibit filed with the Court in September 2009, so nothing new here; just has not read it in almost a year.

NEWEST PAPERS IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA CASE BOTH OF G. BEN THOMPSON’S LAWYERS FILE MOTIONS TO WITHDRAW AS HIS COUNSEL.

September 28, 2009 G. Ben Thompson’s lead attorney in South Carolina Lead lawyer, R. Scott Joyce, filed a Motion to Withdraw as Thompson’s attorney and asked for an “In Camera” hearing at the earliest possible date for the judge. In camera does NOT mean Ex Parte, I believe it means just closed to the public but it could mean without Stern’s lawyer if there is some possible ethics or criminal charges looming.

September 30, 2009 G. Ben Thompson’s attorney from Georgia, Susan M. Brown, filed a Motion to Withdraw as Thompson’s attorney and asked for an “In Camera” hearing at the earliest possible date for the judge. In camera does NOT mean Ex Parte, I believe it means just closed to the public but it could mean without Stern’s lawyer if there is some possible ethics or criminal charges looming. This occurred less than a week after Brown’s deposition and Order to turn over exhibits had to be completed by Brown.

Dear Rita,

Recently I was called by a close friend asking what I thought about Rita Cosby’s witness list. “What?” I say, “a list?” ‘Well yes he says, and it is quite a long one with the entire cast of characters form the Anna Nicole Smith Saga. I am wondering to myself, why would Rita Cosby want me at the trial as her witness? After all I remained silent on her book, ‘”Once upon a time,” even though as entertaining as it was, in reference to me it was all BULLSHIT (and knowing that much for a fact, it makes one wonder about everything else between those covers….

…Now, it would have been nice if Rita had called and spoken to me in reference to “the loon’s” word that she took in lieu of mine, go figure. However, now I am on “the list.” Funny how time can change things, some people on that list I am a little friendly with now, though when the book came out I am not sure. A few people who I was friendly with then I am no longer, and would sooner swig swamp water than to ever have to deal with them again. Time does do this and none of this is so terribly out of the ordinary, you have to understand that initial feelings working as a P.I. …That is called a “reality check,” and the reality was very simply that, reality as to what was happening and what side you want to find yourself on when the lights go out. …

…As to Rita’s book, hmmm too bad, she rushed to print and was sloppy. She was at the airport at times when she should have been at the dock. And as I have learned the hard way, a writer that rushes sometimes misses things. Rita’s book could have been the real deal if she had been patient and paid attention, realized what was weak and what was strong as to her sources. But that is all behind us now and Rita is done, no one wants to deal with her and now she is going to have a party, excuse me I mean a “trial.” Either way I promise you I will have a ball, for as time has gone by I am getting all the facts and will develop my own thoughts based on facts, and a couple of people will not be too happy with those facts.

Folks, remember for those who underestimate me, they do so at their own peril. …

Looking forward to the party,

John

PS: I will expect appropriate travel arrangements if I am called to New York or I won’t go……doesn’t get any simpler than that. Also, at the trial, I would expect a deli plate with all the appropriate sides from Nate and Als (breakfast faire for the morning or lunch for the afternoon). Thanks again for the potential invitation.

As we wait for the papers, or at least the Order unsealing the papers in New York, a solid source contacted me about all of this, a source who had contacted one of the people facing a Preliminary hearing legal team and whom they felt was very rude to this person.

This sounds like the old song for some reason “Leroy Brown”, dunno why it just does.

As we await all of the papers today, why would Tom Bednarek not want anyone to know he had the “ear” of AG Jerry Brown? It could not possibly have to do with Rita Cosby?

Why did Bednarek tell this source from 2005 to the spring of 2009, I can help and did in fact help? Why would Rita Cosby need Bednarek to call in a “favor” from his old at least has the ear of “AG soon to be gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown? Why would helping this source/friend with Brown hurt the Howard K. Stern prosecution?

Why tell someone you had been working with that as this source said to Bednarek in an email, “I told him that you know Attorney General Jerry Brown so you may get a phone call.” In another email just two months before the indictments this source wrote to Bednarek, “I want to thank you for helping, [name omitted], by contacting Attorney General Jerry Brown.” Why in an email did he request this source to always refer to Rita Cosby as “R” saying, “Would appreciate it if from now on… in all of our correspondence…? THAT we only refer to one another ONLY as K and T… AND my gal as R… Okay?! This IS very important…” In another email Tom Bednarek said in part, “Again, should you ever want to discuss this with me, we can certainly do so, so long as it is CAREFUL HANDLED over the TELEPHONE.” In yet another email about offering help he stated; “Additionally, other than “Tom” … there will be no need to include my name within any letter you enclose. He will be aware of the package…”

In another email about the pillow talk while Rita Cosby was fast hammering out her future best selling book and shopping it around why did Tom Bednarek wanted to brag about his closeness to Cosby and exactly how close that pillow talk is as he states; “Although she is heavily committed on a number of major initiatives at this time, she is always very interested to learn more about a story such as this… I know… we’ve been together for well over seven years now, and I know her heart. She would be a phenominal ally to have, BUT I can tell you first hand… that she is extremely engaged right now… and has a number of prior works she is deeply involved with. On the other hand … she is an amazing “multi-tasker!!! HA! But seriously, as mentioned, I will see what either she can do to help AND get this into the right hands for you.”

Finally just less than two WEEKS after the indictment of Stern Bednarek called this source and said “I can’t help you with AG Jerry Brown, and please don’t contact me again”. Following that was the last email exchange of four years of working together on ONE project with Bednarek and Cosby:

“Hello Tomaczek, It’s sad you decided not to keep in touch with me after you told me you would send the documents I sent you … to Jerry Brown. It’s been 8 months since …I’m asking you again to send the information I sent you and Rita …to Jerry Brown. I remember you telling me that you had a direct phone number for him. I can’t understand how you think sending this information could hurt the Stern case. You reasoning just doesn’t make sense to me. Thank you,”

Yea Tom why would helping with the ear of “feel good AG Jerry Brown” hurt the pending Stern case? Did you use up all of your “favors” keeping “R” or Rita Cosby as most of us know and call her by out of the deep fat frying pan? Why did you and Cosby want to make sure the indictment was announced before the Summary Judgment was ruled on in New York? How long had you been sharing pillow talk with “R”, [Rita Cosby], with AG Jerry Brown?

All good questions I think, what about ya’ll? My source has snail mailed me a ton of information on this project that we will begin to explore in the new year in greater detail right before the gubernatorial candidates, including Brown, began their major fund raising? By the way the “project” that is discussed with promises to help by Tom Bednarek is about a non-profit foundation of which there are allegation of “money for favors”, isn’t Brown in charge of those? Could AG Jerry Brown’s friend Bednarek with over four years of documentation sink feel good Brown’s bid for that brass ring called the governorship? A brass ring that Brown wants so badly in what some say is a hope for the blissfulness and power he once held as the prince and the rising star in the Democratic Party way, way back in the 70’s as a young “cool feel good” Brown.

I have told my source to print out the hard copies of all of the documentation and send them to me, put them in a bank vault and at least in two other people’s hands so Bednarek cannot undo the damage to his beloved “R”, known to us as Rita Cosby.

Tom, Tom, Tom, you tried so hard to not leave much of a paper trail in all of this, but in trying it rings of nanny gate in my ears.

We will be bringing you more of what this source has to say, including the way they were treated by one of the legal teams of one of the people facing the preliminary hearings in October of this year.

Now for today, we await the Court’s Order releasing the papers, could “exhibit J” be Bednarek deposition about nanny gate? Who knows only the unsealing of all of these promising delicious documents will tell us.

To keep up with the papers to be unsealed keep this list handy, and remember ALL of Howard K. Stern’s deposition and all of Rita Cosby’s deposition is included in the documents. I don’t know about all of you but I await the release with excitement that a lot of the pieces will begin to make more sense and like a haze in the morning light will become the bright sun of daylight and the telling of all of those secrets, including pillow talk of nanny gate.

We will be linking the below list with documents as those doucuments are released by Court Order.

This article will be enlarged tonight with more of my thoughts about these Motions coming up and what we will be allowed to see.

We now have the rules for the Motion for Summary Judgment to be filed by Rita Cosby and Hachette Books and the Reply of Howard K. Stern to those Motions. Wonder if this is why we have those seven pages released from the Florida suit on Don Clark.

On December 2, 2008, New York Southern District Federal Court sets page limits on Rita Cosby’s Motion for Summary to 50 from the normal 25 Judgment and then Howard K. Stern’s reply can be 75 pages; Hachette intends to use the 25-page limit per the Civil Rules of Procedures.

So now, our attention shifts in part to the New York as Florida is officially closed even on PACER as of today.

I think now is a time to debunk the rest of chapter 13 of the real blond ambitious, Rita Cosby.

You can find all of the documents in our download section, opened to all not just members of Rose Speaks.com.

Rita Cosby testified in a portion of her deposition, which found its way to PACER last November 30 the first time around of Wilma Vicedomine fighting NOT to be deposed. In that deposition Cosby pretty much says, that everywhere in the blond ambitious Cosby’s book where it says “private investigators, or investigators say”, she is referring to Don Clark and Wilma Vicedomine (a/k/a Vice). Cosby admits she talked to Wilma when she returned from the now infamous Bahamas trip to “speak” to the nannies, and that she talked to Don Clark the night BEFORE this deposition.

We now have Wilma chatting away with Cosby as well as Mark Wilson Speer(s) (a/k/a Wilson a/k/a Marcus) talking to the O’Quinn law firm and appearing for Cosby’s party on October 3, 2007 all smiles for the photo ops with Cosby, Virgie Arthur, Don Clark, and John O’Quinn.

My question is could there be some information being shared between the cases in California, Houston, Florida, and New York, one might deduct from following the paper trail, the book and the photo ops, that perhaps allegedly they are all very friendly folks with each other, in my opinion.

If that is true that could explain the recent turn of events in the tightening of Court Orders in multiple jurisdictions on NOT sharing information with “third parties”, you know like with each other via phone, email or visits?

In a stunning move since Virgie Arthur is suing CBS in Texas, they have waived without prejudice their journalism shield in the New York Court of Stern vs. Cosby, Hachette, et al for a limited use of documents that Hachette Books wants to look at and possibly deposed Howard K. Stern with.

Remember in Cosby’s ambitious book where she says before Anna Nicole Smith’s body was cold and moved to the morgue that sly ole Howard K. Stern was on the phone contacting ET for the next photo op, and that Howard K. Stern was the one that booked the rooms for ET at the Hard Rock Hotel. It starts the tone in her book of a very cold and sinister man always looking for that next buck.

Cosby’s book at one point implies that Howard K. Stern only gave part of the proceeds from the selling of the funeral rights to CBS/ET to Richard Milstein for a trust account on behalf of Dannielynn and pocketed the rest. Do ya’ll remember the allegations in the Florida Court that Stern had sold the rights to the funeral for a million dollars? That made it into Cosby’s book as well as how Debra Opri, Virgie Arthur and even Richard Milstein did not trust Howard K. Stern’s deal with CBS/ET for the rights to Anna Nicole Smith’s funeral coverage.

On a side note where is Howard K. Stern’s Rolex and other flashy things like cars and such that he bought with those now we know, “non-existence insurance policies” and the ever growing selling photo ops of him to anyone before and after Anna Nicole’s death? Just a few questions that has always bugged me about this “sinister always money before anyone else man” that is still being spun around the net by people who allegedly have a very close relationship with Wilma.

On July 28, CBS, Cosby’s lawyer, Elizabeth McNamara, Hachette’s lawyers, Douglas Maynard and in house counsel Karen Andrews, Howard K. Stern and his lawyer, L. Lin Wood reached and filed a, “Consent Protective Order Governing Documents Produced by Non-Party CBS Corporation regarding procedures to be followed that shall govern the handling of confidential material”.

In this Agreed Consent Order, what is most striking is the limitations put on McNamara’s ability to share these documents with her client, Cosby. In fact the Agreed Consent Order specifically limits Cosby’s access and that her lawyer can “only disclose to Cosby; (a) The date of the document; (b) The parties signatories thereto; (c) The general subject matter (e. g. that it is a licensing agreement for the use of photographs); and (d) Whether financial consideration was provided, without specifying, estimating or otherwise characterizing the amount of such consideration”.

The Agreed Consent Order goes on to state, “These documents can be shown to Howard K. Stern during a deposition, hearing, or other proceeding without providing prior notice to CBS. However, in the case of a deposition, counsel must designate the section of the deposition transcript relating to the documents as Confidential Information Attorneys eyes only”.

The Agreed Consent Order further states; “Disclosure to witnesses other than Howard K. Stern during a deposition or hearing will be made only upon notice to CBS and by order of the Court.”

Why has CBS who is being sued in Texas agreed to this Consent on certain documents that Hachette Books wants? Why would they waive the right and fight over the “journalism shield laws” which are pretty strong? What if the documents dispute and throw out some of the most sensationalism rumors of “sinister only after money, Howard K. Stern”?

In the other Federal Court in Houston Texas the Minutes from the hearing before Judge Lee Rosenthal the docket as of July 30, states the following, “Minute entry for telephone discovery hearing on 7/23/2008 before Judge Lee H. Rosenthal. The information sought from Stern in initial disclosures, which counsel objected to providing without a protective order preventing dissemination to third parties, will be provided subject to such a protective order. CBS is not required to provide home addresses and telephone numbers of employees who are identified in initial disclosures. Appearances: Neil McCabe/Michael Meyer for Pltf. Charles Babcock for Deft. CBS and John Patton for Deft. Stern.”

There is that “protective order preventing dissemination to third parties” again, which seems to be echoing what CBS asked for in return for waiving their journalism shield in the New York federal Court.

So is the phone calls and possible alleged late night pillow talk from these different lawsuits in different jurisdictions about to be stopped for good? Was there ever any sharing of information between Houston and New York? Why is Cosby being denied a look through this glass window? All questions we will probably never know the answer to but these latest turn of events gives me a moment to pause and ponder these things, what about you?

Going through all of the transcripts of the ever-changing memory of Jack Harding certain things stick out to me. When and why has Jack Harding’s “memory” changed, grown or been added to along with new leather jackets and what would appear at times to be someone right off camera he is looking at for guidance?

Let’s go through these, beginning with February 23, 2007 09:40 AM EST with People Magazine; “Jack Harding, a private investigator based in California, told police that last year Daniel expressed to him “his concern about the kind of persons his mother was associating with.” Daniel also said, “He did not like the idea that she was moving to the Bahamas” and that he “felt that her associates were taking advantage of her.”

When I first read that my thought was G. Ben Thompson and Ford Shelley they were new in Anna Nicole Smith’s life, they are the ones who allegedly gave Anna Nicole Smith an almost one million dollar home in the Bahamas for Anna Nicole Smith to move. Could Daniel Smith as protective as he was of his mom, had picked up something that concerned him? On the other hand, was this merely a meeting at Starbucks with Daniel having coffee with Ray Martino and Jack Harding walking up, handing Daniel a business card as we all get at times? How many business cards of people you have met have remained resting in your billfold or purse?

March 15, 2007 CNN Nancy Grace with Jack Harding: Joining us tonight is Jack Harding. He is a PI who says the boy, Daniel Smith, met with him, voicing concern. Welcome, Mr. Harding. Thank you for being with us. What happened?

HARDING: Well, as I said, Danny came to — well, he called me and I visited him at a coffee shop. And I asked him why he wanted to meet me there, and he said that he didn’t want other people to know that he was talking to a private investigator. I asked him, do you feel that someone is following you or what? And he says, Sometimes I do. And he says he has friends around that he didn’t want them to know about it. But he had a fear of — I said — of — of…

GRACE: A fear of what?

HARDING: Of the attorney, her boyfriend. I can`t even think of his name right now.

GRACE: Howard Stern.

HARDING: Howard Stern.

On March 15, 2007, Jack Harding could not even remember Howard K. Stern’s name; why if Daniel Smith was so alarmed and Jack Harding had so much contact would this happen? Was it because of just forgetting on camera out of nerves or was it something else? I have some ideas and I will share those at the end of this article.

So many of the interviews are very similar with more and more facts being “remembered” each new interview, so I am going to fast forward to the end of March and beginning of April 2007.

23 March 2007 In a private meeting, Daniel told Harding he feared his mother was being held “a virtual prisoner” in Nassau, the Bahamas by Stern, who was controlling her like a Svengali. Harding tells US tabloid the Globe, “Daniel felt Stern was keeping her on mind-bending drugs even though she was pregnant (with baby DANNIELYNN). He feared for his mother’s well-being… and he was angry at being pushed out of his mother’s life.” Following Daniel’s suspicious drug overdose death days after his baby sister was born, the private detective contacted Bahamian detectives. He adds, “I told them of our discussions and Daniel’s concerns. They seemed interested.”

So, eight days later, Jack Harding had his story straight, well scripted and putting on the show as some of our sources have told us. He was out there, almost as if he had cue cards to read or a teleprompter. He still did better on phone interviews or in print, but Jack Harding was now a PI on a mission. It was more then just 15 minutes of fame; it was to take Howard K. Stern down, but why and for whom? He was already in contact with the O’Quinn machine, is my take on this and from two independent sources this seems to be the case and from the next interview on March 26, it just got better.

March 26, 2007 on CNN Anderson Cooper 360, Jack Harding.

HARDING: Well, I had talked to — well, actually, today, I had met and talked to Jackie (ph) — I believe it’s Hammond (ph). I may be mistaken. … And she was talking to me about Anna Nicole’s drug habit. And she said she was constantly on drugs, and Stern was giving — giving her drugs all the time. And it’s the same thing that Danny told me when I met him. He wanted to get his mother off drugs.

Was Jackie Hatten ever the godmother of Daniel Smith? Multiple sources we have contacted have said no, Ms Hatten had not been in Anna Nicole Smith’s life for years. Remember it was Virgie Arthur who became pen pals with Mark Hatten in prison as early as November 2006; it was Jackie Hatten that said in interviews she was on the phone with Virgie Arthur because they were such good friends when she heard of Anna Nicole Smith’s death.

On March 27, 2007 on Ashley Bancroft of Court TV, Jack Harding on the phone says he met “Daniel at a coffee shop, as a matter of fact it was Starbucks in Tuloco (sic) Lake”. Ray Martino called Jack Harding over in Starbucks and introduced him to Daniel Smith. When Daniel Smith found out Jack Harding was a private investigator “Danny” wanted Jack Harding’s card. Jack Harding says he and Daniel met again in a coffee shop when Daniel called him. Daniel told Jack Harding he wanted to go into the military and Jack Harding asked him why. Daniel said it was because he wanted to build himself up and to become a man. Jack Harding knew from Ray Martino that Daniel had done some prescription drugs in the past, but even though now Daniel was “clean” it would still show up in the drug tests given by the recruiting system.”

Ashley Bancroft, cut Jack Harding off to steer the questions, it appeared to me, back to Howard K. Stern was giving Anna Nicole Smith drugs. Jack Harding in this interview says, “that four Bahamian police came to him to interview him with two local officers that came to Jack Harding’s home.”

On March 27, 2007 On Catherine Crier of Court TV, she brings up that Daniel was having “serious drug problems” and wanted to know what Ray Martino or Daniel had told Jack Harding about that. Jack Harding said, “Raymond said Daniel had some drug problems, with prescription drugs, apparently some kind of pill”. In this interview, it went from one meeting to “several over a period of time”. This time instead of meeting at a coffee shop they “met at a restaurant and Daniel did NOT want anyone to know about it not even Ray Martino.”

Although Jack Harding had maintained since first being paraded out on every television show possible in March 2007 to April 2007, the P. I. had said Daniel was not taking drugs, however, on March 27 he suddenly remembered he, [Daniel Smith], could not pass a drug test on two different court TV shows. How long do drugs remain in the body that would show up on a drug test, one day, three days, a week, a month, how long? Wouldn’t the length of time that a “prescription” drug shows up on a military physical with drug test depend on the medication taken? How long do Zoloft, Lexapro, Valium, and Methadone show up in a urine or blood test? Which kind of test is given at a military testing clinic?

Just two short days later, Jack Harding has remembered or been told, or read, or dreamt, or how did he come up with the perfect way for Daniel to be intentionally given something that Daniel Smith would not be aware?

March 29, 2007 Showbiz Tonight

HARDING: Well, he contacted me – oh, four – about four months now – it’s been a little while. And he wanted to talk to me because he felt that Stern was giving his mother mind-bending drugs and he was in control of her faculties, and he was being pushed out of the picture – or the family picture all together.

HARDING: …And as I said before, he loved his mother, and he wanted to get her off of these drugs. And he said especially these mind-bending drugs that Stern had been feeding her. And so I said, `Well, what do you want me to do?` And he says, `I want you to` – `I’d like you to be able to go down to the Bahamas and perform a criminal investigation on Stern and his` – and he did use this term – `cohorts.` … He felt his mother’s life was in danger. He felt that his life was in danger, or anyone that – that dealt with Anna Nicole who was friendly with her, who tried to help her, he – he felt that. As a matter of fact, when I was talking to him, and he was looking out the restaurant windows, and sort of at times looking around – and when I see someone doing that, that sort of indicates to me that he feels someone’s watching him.

HAMMER: We do know that Daniel died of a lethal mix of prescription drugs. Did you have any indication, Jack, when – when you met Daniel and when you spoke with him, that he had been taking any kind of drugs?

HARDING: Not at all. As a matter of fact, as I have said before, the boy was coherent. He – he – he wasn’t really weak at that time. He didn’t stumble; he didn’t slur. If you’ve been around people who have been taking drugs, or if you’ve dealt with them, you know the difference.

Daniel had been dead for 6 almost 7 months when this interviewed occurred, was it a visit from beyond the grave? If I remember right and I checked with a source, “mind bending drugs” is a term from the 1960’s and not one a shy young man would instantly state in my opinion. It would not be anymore of Daniel Smith’s vocabulary then “Svengali” which Jack Harding appears to have borrowed that term from John O’Quinn’s press conferences back in February 2007. Why would a young shy man of twenty use terms that were more common for the older generation from the 40’s or the baby bombers of the 60’s? For most of us, breaking out in a sweat, looking out at windows and convinced someone is following you is normally a sign of drug use, not what Jack Harding is describing, but then why did Harding change from Daniel not being able to past a drug test to clean as could be?

There are other interviews in which Jack Harding describes a very paranoid young man, could this be because of continued drug abuse, or did any of these other meetings ever occurred? It would seem that Jack Harding is saying no one can verify this, not even Daniel Smith’s “father figure”, Ray Martino, because Daniel Smith was too afraid to let anyone know. Fact, or convenient for Jack Harding and no one can check that out?

On April 1, 2007, Jack Harding has the story down pat that the pills that Daniel Smith had ingested could have been ground up and put in his drink without Daniel Smith ever knowing what was being given to him. On Fox News Kimberly show, Jack Harding tells us that he is in contact with Don Clark and they were talking about “them” (O’Quinn machine?) were discussing paying Jack Harding’s way to the Bahamas to testify.

I find it interesting that as the case is being built at the Inquest by Virgie Arthur’s team of Daniel being “slipped drugs in a drink”, that Jack Harding would have “thought” of that. I also found this was rather interesting that this “concept” was remembered after Jackie Hatten and Don Clark had come into Jack Harding’s life. Jack Harding, in my opinion, appears to have been in contact with the “O’Quinn machine people” for a few weeks or months, so a new leather jacket and a better memory began to develop for Jack Harding.

Aired April 3, 2007 – Nancy Grace, sitting in was Diane Dimond.

O`NEIL: Almost hired him, or tried to anyway. By the way, Jack Harding told me the other day that he’s on stand-by for this case, that he’s willing to go down. He`s talked to Virgie`s people and may actually go. Yes, he`s waiting to hear if he`s needed.

Again, two different sources have verified as well as Jack Harding telling people in numerous interviews; he is in contact with “Virgie’s people”; if they pay for it; he will go and testify; but will it be honest testimony or just an improved script? If Jack Harding was so “believable” then why did the Bahamian police write him off after interviewing him in California? I have some thoughts of that at the end of this article.

On April 10, 2007 California private investigator Jack E. Harding has revealed the troubled 20-year-old came to him with his concerns three months before he died last September (06) – but never followed through on his plans to commission the detective, reports WENN. Following Daniel’s suspicious drug overdose death days after his baby sister was born, the private detective contacted Bahamian detectives. He adds, “I told them of our discussions and Daniel’s concerns. They seemed interested.”

My questions here, Daniel Smith was in an ICU hospital for Valium misuse and serious mental problems. We will probably never know the extent of why or what exactly was the cause that ended Daniel Smith in ICU and I don’t think it is our business no matter how inquisitive we want to be in this world of infotainment passed for news. However, the young man that Jack Harding describes is one who clearly was disturbed; could not pass a drug test; was breaking out in sweats; and if Jack Harding is to be believed was paranoia of being followed.

I have another observation, if Daniel Smith contacted Jack Harding in June or July of 2006 and really wanted a background check on Howard K. Stern, wouldn’t the place to start that be in California? Howard K. Stern grew up in California, his friends, associates and neighbors an investigator would check out were in California. Nevertheless, the important thing is from G. Ben Thompson, Ford Shelley, Gina Shelley, Laurie Payne, and even Howard K. Stern himself, for the time period that Jack Harding is referring to, Howard K. Stern was in California and not the Bahamas. So was it Howard K. Stern that Daniel Smith wanted check out, or his mother’s new acquaintances that offered her a million dollar home in another country as a “gift”? What are your thoughts on this? Would a good investigator begin a background check where the “target” or person being checked out lived? Or on the other hand, would you start it in a new country where even Anna Nicole Smith had not yet moved?

We have confirmed with two independent sources that about the time Jack Harding’s story became clear and on target, he did have a client, but it was not Daniel Smith, it was someone from deep within Texas. But then again that is not hard to understand, just read the transcripts for yourself of Jack Harding’s relationship with Jackie Hatten and Don Clark and company, who do you think is Jack Harding on the payroll here for? Per one of our sources in California that has talked to Jack Harding after Jack begin working with Don Clark; Mr. Harding has a brand new Red Dodge Durango sitting in his drive, causing the question of who gave him that gift? Was this new Dodge Durango a gift or payment for services from the same person or people that paid for that new spiffy leather jacket?

Further this source said that the Bahamian police had written Jack Harding off as not a credible source about the time Mr. Harding begin to share his adventures with aliens and being taken on board of alien spaceships. Thus leaving me with an opened ended question of “Do you think Jack Harding will fly on O’Quinn’s jet, or first class on a commercial jet, or will his “new” friends pick him up and swoop him to the Bahamas in a “space craft”, as in “beam me up Scotty”?
