Tom Lang, the publisher of the ABQ Journal was the only person , in 20 years, that I had 'kicked out' of a disaster. In spite of his minions telling me to tolerate his behavior and trying to entice and bribe me ....Lang would use his personal jet to fly our team to disasters around the world, in spite of the offers of money and 'parties with the wealthy' and promises of 'no more financial problems for myself and the team'. In spite of all of this, I told called him an 'evil bastard', told him that 'enough was enough' and that I wanted 'nothing more to do with him'.

 

www.amerrescue.org has all the affidavits and proof. He returned to New Mexico and used an UNPRECEDENTED 5 front pages (one showing my jumpsuit ripped with my penis exposed) , 23 articles containing 300 lies to get revenge. Only an idiot would not be able to figure out that this was pure revenge. People started calling the paper and protesting that they wanted 'news". Not just furious 'blasts of hell' on doug copp.

 

Lang has done this before, to other people. F Lee Baily called him: "a power hungry bully".

 

My 30 Doctors and weekly intravenous treatments stand as a testimonial as to the sacrifices I made at the World Trade Center. The document submitted by the leading medical expert, in the entire world; that he agreed with my primary care physician: "that I would probably die from my WTC injuries if I did not receive the $1,960,000.00 in detailed medical treatment, as outlined in Doctor Tim Smith's 20 page medical summation, of my injuries..

 

My attorney, Sheldon Kerasik of New York and Zurich is in the full blown stages of suing Tom Lang.

 

As with most decisions I ultimately ask myself: " Is it worth dying for?"

 

Yes, it is. In both cases: " Getting Tom Lang's money and giving it away ( after I have my medical treatment) to do good and 2) fighting against 'duck and cover.'

 

 

Regardless, it shows a feeble mind and a feeble logic to go after the fundamental principle of nature like gravity and ' the triangle of life' by attacking the messenger to avoid dealing with the issue or the truth.

 

This has been the tactic of the 'dark side'; since, Roman times when the _expression_: " If you can't attack the message then attack the messenger." was first created.

 

My response to this email was delayed by 2 hour because my primary care Doctor Tim Smith interrupted my email by telephoning me to provide me medical counsel for the next 3 days.

 

It is what it is. The truth will come out. I will get Tom Lang's money (and give most of it away to charity), the triangle of life will continue saving lives and 'the longer the hold-out for the 'duck and cover' intransigents' the more that history will know them in an un savoury light.

 

This is a battle for the lives of people; especially, school children. I tell parents to put as much energy into promoting the triangle of life as you care about the survival of your child.

 

That is why I continue, in spite of my ill health and in spite of vampires like Tom Lang and people like Dave Evans.

  I did a Google search on the topic and there are lots more like it.I
got 870 hits. I'd be a little careful recommending Copp's advice.
Here's another take on the 'Triangle of Life' from Snopes.com
<http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/triangle.asp>(Urban legends site)
that pretty much agrees with SEAOC's position.

Mr. Copp is under investigation by a U.S. Department of Justice fraud
unit.
