OK I stand corrected not "expired" but "inactive" and "not eligible to practice law" since well before you claim to have retired.
"Not eligible to practice law" lasted for one month, while my dues payment was processed. The record then states "suspension lifted." You omit that part, just as you omit "Disciplinary history: None." Excerpting two lines of my record out of context is misleading. My ethical record with the State Bar is unblemished. Your ethical record here is not.
There is no reason for parallel debates on two threads there is no indication on your State Bar webpage that you suspension was lifted. See my reply here:
Another Colby falsehood. Look at the dates. There is a date of suspension, and a date of return to active status.

Tom, you're the one who started the problem by recklessly posting excerpts from my State Bar history. You ended with the statement "Not Eligible To Practice Law." You didn’t bother to include the explanation I was "not eligible" only during a suspension for a fee nonpayment. Your negligence set bait for others to seize and compelled me to defend myself. If you don't want me posting in my defense, don't post misleading half-truths about me. Your post was gratuitous and irresponsible and you have only yourself to blame for all that followed.
In case anyone missed it Tom and I are not exactly friends but in this case I'll come to his defense, his post accurately reflected Schweitzer's status as indicated on the webpage.
Another Colby falsehood.

Get your facts straight, Tom. I was once suspended briefly because my annual dues payment was received late. I was promptly restored to active status and remained so until I retired and switched to inactive status. I can resume my practice at any time by simply contacting the State Bar and paying the difference between my inactive dues and active dues. I can understand a civilian's difficulty is interpreting State Bar records. But when you post two out-of-content excerpts as an implication of wrongdoing, you exceed misunderstanding and deliberately both personally insult me and attack my integrity. You should either delete your misleading post, or add key portions of my record you omitted: "Suspension lifted," which followed "not eligible" by a month, and "Disciplinary history: None." My ethical record with the State Bar is flawless, which is more than I can say about your post.

Removed two of the posts on the Q&A thread. Please do not bring up personal information on or make threats to other posters. I know this has happened before, but it should not be so. We all know we are not supposed to do this, so why do it?
This forum is a place to post research and exchange ideas. Try to keep that in mind moving forward.
If you don't like it, you are free to go somewhere else.
Kathy I realize that it’s not easy being a moderator but the expiry date of Schweitzer’s law license is a matter of public record, just as are the basic details regarding the licenses of all other past and present members of the California Bar and most, if not all, licensed professionals in the US. Additionally this information was already disclosed by Tom a few posts upstream in the same thread. So I kindly request that you either make my post visible or make Tom’s invisible. I think the validity of his law license is relevant for two reasons 1) he uses his law background as a reason for taking his claims seriously 2) he has made contradictory claims as to when he retired and the expiration date of the license suggests both were wrong, this goes to credibility.
Another Colby falsehood. My continuing membership in the State Bar of California is public record. My State Bar No. is 107208 and my status is inactive, not expired, because I have retired and no longer practice law. I can resume my practice at any time by simply contacting the State Bar and paying the difference between my inactive dues and active dues.

John, I applaud your rules. And I am compelled to report a deplorable violation of Rule iv by LEN COLBY.
A few days ago, Colby suddenly posted a demand that I explain why I quit practicing law. I replied I have no obligation to answer him. Then he escalated his demand in two further posts equivalent to an FBI interrogation about my career. When I declined to answer both, Colby posted a false statement that my law license expired years ago, then a second statement that charged me with criminal behavior. Colby stated I am illegally practicing law without a license. His claim is false. I remain a member of the State Bar of California. I switched to inactive status when I retired and no longer practice law.
Colby appears driven to destroy my reputation. Maybe he dislikes my position on certain issues. But his attack reveals a vindictive nature and a possibly disruptive purpose. I have experience detecting infiltrators. Interrogating others about themselves is an infiltrator tactic I’ve seen before. I have also noticed posts by other members complaining Colby seems to turn every discussion into a “Colby discussion.” Hijacking a discussion and misleading it into non-productive territory is another infiltrator tactic I’ve seen before. No forum that discusses the JFK assassination is infiltrator-free. I’ve seen derailment tactics by certain individuals on Facebook, too. Proceed as you wish. But a mole seems to be at work here. And if he victimizes me, he can turn and fire at anyone.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that my description of Colby's posts against me is true and correct.
Best regards.

Go look at any of Len's posts. He has a link at the bottom of his post area which he has preferenced as Autobiography: There you will see a link to his post in the Biography area of the forum. You are the only one I know that has posted a link to the Profile Page, where you have chosen to put yours. As long as you have one, it's fine.
I'm deleting my account. There's are too many stuck-up here. Which is a pity, because there are some serious researchers, too. Bye, Kathy.

Look who's talking. Colby doesn't even state his age or gender, and states ZERO qualifications. And he's a "super member?" This forum has really gone to xxxx!
Huhh? What do my age and gender have to do with Gaal wanting Malik to join the forum? And you tout your "analytical skill and ability to research (law)??? LOL. In my bio linked at the bottom of all my posts it says "My name is Leonard Colby, but I prefer ed to be called Len. I was born in North Carolina in 1965..." And POT KETTLE BLACK there is no indication of YOUR age in your sig. or bio.
Also you have yet to tell us how you were working as an attorney till 2006 when your license expired many years before that
I switched to inactive status when I retired. And I don't answer to you.
-
This is what I see while reading your post
That you just watched the movie JFK for the first time recently
Just about everything in your post comes across as being said word for word in the movie JFK
Not from your "extensive research"
You insulted me. No discussion of issues. No substance. Just insults. Thank you for letting me know you're mean-spirited.
-
Michael,
If you look at the bottom of Len's posts, you'll see a link to his biography. There is a Biography section of this Forum where we all post our biographies, and then link to them.. They are not located on our profiles, unless someone wants to put them there.
Kathy
Not so. Colby never posts a link. The only info he gives is in his profile. Age: unknown. Birthdate: unknown. Gender: declines to state. And nothing else. The jerk has been posting major character attacks against me and I haven't even been on the forum for months. Do you know anything about this clown?

Some loser who calls himself Len Colby keeps harassing me for not posting my profile. I posted when I joined. It's at http://educationforu...?showuser=6382.
And what about Colby's profile? This is all it says:
-
Member Title
Super Member
-
Age
Age Unknown
-
Birthday
Birthday Unknown
-
Gender

Now there's a qualified member. He refuses to disclose anything. Will someone get that mole out of here? -

There is a link to my (auto)bio at the bottom of all my posts, exactly where it is supposed to be, your link however is missing. So this is a case of the (cast iron) pot calling the stainless steel kettle black. So once again when did you stop practicing law? And if you could be so kind answer/address the rest.
There is no link at the bottom of your post, and you're not worth my time.

The link has been there since shortly after I joined the forum, since have trouble finding it I uploaded the images below. Either you have extremely poor observation skills or you looked for my bio link while offline, signatures only appear when you are logged in, which would still give poor observation skills since you failed to notice this. And since you are such a stickler about the rule about bios, you should know you are supposed to post a working link into your signature, YOU are in breech, I’m not.
So why don’t you tell us when you stopped practicing law, why are so averse to answering that question?
Len, just who do you think you are? All you've been doing is harassing me. I posted my profile when I joined the Forum. You've contributed nothing to the discussion. And why I stopped practicing law is none of your goddamned business. I suggest you return to kindergarten, learn how to tie your shoes, sit at the children's table for eight years and listen to adults speak who know what they're talking about. Then maybe, when you're old enough, you can raise your hand and ask a stupid question.

Colby,
I'm curious:
-why must you sidetrack these discussions in order to question the credentials of the other posters?
-why can you not simply allow the arguments to stand or fall on their own, rather than worrying about how many professions the other posters have had, and when they started/ended those occupations?
I stopped being a welder, except on a hobby basis, when the plant at which I was employed closed in 2005. [by providing you that information now, you shouldn't need to interrupt any of MY discussions to ask that question about MY employment/profession.] NOW... why not let it rest, and let the thread return to the discussion topic? Speaking for myself, I don't care about Michael's profession...OR yours.
The reason why I asked and I suspect the reason he was reluctant to answer is that despite claims to have “recently retired as an attorney” and to be “an attorney with 30 years' experience” his law license expired due to non-payment of fees in July 1995 and he has “Not [been] Eligible To Practice Law” since then.
Thanks, Mark. Len has an obvious problem. He never learned how to shut up!

Poetry has syntax. It's a failed IQ test.

You had me going there Michael, up until you got to the part about Ruby firing a blank and the CIA killing Oswald in the ambulance.
The CIA was only one of a number of government intelligence agencies that included individuals with the motive, power and capacity to kill the president, and just because whatever happened at Dealey Plaza can be shown to have been the result of a cover intelligence operation, that doesn't mean it had to be the CIA who pulled it off.
To me, blaming the CIA is a cop-out, an easy way out of really determining the individuals who did it, and Allen Dulles was out of the loop at the time.
The CIA were just as much a Patsy as Oswald, and those individuals really responsible for the murder got away with it.

Have you read Mark Lane's recent "Last Word: My Indictment of the CIA in the Murder of JFK"? Of course, Mr. Lane has only been researching the Kennedy assassination since 1964. Your comment says you've majorly surpassed him.
Mark Lane, like Vince Salandria and others, often blame the CIA for anything that was a covert action, when in fact, the military has been doing covert - need to know - plausible deniable operations years, centuries before the CIA came along. I have not yet read Lane's Last Word, but of course it won't be the last word we hear from Lane.
Are you familiar with Lane's role at Jonestown? Or know of his defense of Posner's plagerism?
I don't know what how long one has been investigating the case has to do with anything.
I have been researching the assassination since 1969, when I was a teenager and didn't know anything.
You may be right, depending on what majorly means.

Bill, John Simkin has spoke to the word "CIA" in the past as a term that includes all intelligence organizations in the US. This is what I have adopted and I am sorry if I have not made that clear in my posts.
I want you to know that I have been following your work for a long time and have appreciated it. I too, believe that when used literally, the "CIA" is a patsy of sorts, part of the layering that was formed early in the plot.
I guess where we move away from each other is in the matter of Mr. Lane. I am surprised that you of all people try to discredit him because of other things that he has done. The man has been in the field interviewing actual witnesses since day one, and gave up his law practice to do so. After a while he probably felt the need to earn some money and took on paying jobs in addition to gathering evidence in the JFK case.
I have questions too - one is why Mr. Lane is not mentioned in a CNN report on Jonestown when we know he was there. But that does not change what witnesses he interviewed said, or any other basic research on his part that has helped us understand the JFK case.
I could have said that after reading countless books on the subject, reading Last Word would not be necessary, and I do not for a minute put myself at your level in this case , Mr. Kelly, but Last Word reads with a certain clarity not found anywhere, including even The Unspeakable. ( which is also an excellent summary of the case )
I also apologize for not knowing the posters here anymore, and you may have reasons that I do not know of, for writing what you do.
Peter, first please note I use the term "CIA" as shorthand. The Agency never acts as a whole, but through compartments. As to clients Mark Lane represents, he also represented the ultra-right wing Liberty Lobby in a defamation action. Why? Because the plaintiff was E. Howard Hunt, and as counsel, Lane could take "discovery" - coerce Hunt to provide information and documents otherwise unobtainable. Judge Lane not by the parties he represents, but by the parties he opposes. As a researcher, it's a brilliant tactic to use legal procedure to force truth into the open.

URGENT: SALVADOR ASTUCIA IS A THREAT TO THIS FORUM! GET RID OF HIM! Read his own words on his website jfkmontreal.com. Astucia's is the most virulent Nazi website I have even seen. Author of every article, Astucia claims Hitler was a hero, the Holocaust never happened, the KKK gallantly protects whites, Johnson killed Kennedy because Johnson was Jewish, Curtis LeMay was a Zionist who pushed for armaments to profit the Jewish arms industry, Nixon bombed Cambodia in an act of greatness, ad nauseum (and nauseous).
Michael,
I also lost many relatives in the Holocaust, the family name was Cohn before my grandmother changed it, but I don't think people should be denied membership here based on their views, sanctions like being put on moderation or booted should be based on behavior. I initially opposed Michael Collins Piper joining this forum but realized that I was wrong.
But you seem to have failed to notice that David L Sharp/Salvador Astucia is no longer a member here. He was kicked out before I joined but I assume John Simkin can tell you why.
Len,
I hadn't noticed Astucia is gone. I agree with you it's wrong to discriminate because of someone's views. But I know who Piper is. He wrote hate literature for the KKK via the Liberty Lobby. I don't think he belongs here either. Not because of his views, but because he lies, and this is a forum for seeking truth. Differing views can help illuminate the truth. Lies do not.

When I first joined the Forum, I didn't know how the system worked. Colby is quibbling.
