This really makes me laugh. If Laura had any balls whatsoever she would
WELCOME!!!
the chance to take on Pepin in court, no?
She would
WELCOME!!!!
the chance to expose Pepin for the evil vile psycopathic organic portal and sexual predator that he is, welcome the chance to expose him as a paid alphabet agency cointelpro agent, welcome the opportunity to defend her role as the joan d'arc of free speech on the internet!!!!
LMAO!!!
BUT NO!!!
So what does she actually DO????
Weeeeell, she tries to run away and hide in France, she tries to claim 'lack of durisdiction' in half a dozen different ways, she hopes to bamboozle the court with mountains of paper (as is her usual MO)...
Here is my declaration in support of the motion to strike for lack of jurisdiction:
[link to quantumfuturegroup.org]
She is afraid to appear in court because she knows she will have to swear an oath and tell the truth - something she has never ever done in her whole life - she is afraid that if she appears in court all her felonies will be revealed for the world to see, she is basically
AFRAID
and will wriggle and squeal and squirm and do her utmost to avaod the glare of exposure.
Of course her sycophants will not see what she is DOing, but they never do, do they... |

Web Site Defendant Moves to Dismiss Defamation Suit Under Anti-SLAPP Statute
QFG and SOTT.net defend Internet First Amendment rights.
SOTT.net - May 02, 2008
(PRNewsChannel) / Portland, Oregon - Quantum Future Group, Inc. ("QFG"), the only defendant that has been served in an Internet defamation suit brought by New-Age guru Eric Pepin's sales company, has forcefully challenged the merits of the case and has asked an Oregon federal judge for a dismissal and attorneys fees.
The case concerns postings on a forum hosted by SOTT.net (Signs of the Times), an Internet site devoted to news and analysis in various fields, including analyzing and exposing cults. Citing Oregon's anti-SLAPP ("Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation") statute, QFG contends that the statements about Pepin and his company, Higher Balance Institute, LLC ("HBI") are constitutionally protected. Because HBI cannot show that it probably will prevail, QFG argues, the case must be dismissed before QFG or the other defendants must spend large amounts to defend themselves.
"Without exception," the motion states, "the statements are all constitutionally protected expressions of opinion rather than verifiable assertions of fact. HBI cannot meet its burden to prove, by clear and convincing evidence, that the statements are false, let alone that Defendants knew that they were false or had serious doubts as to their truth."
The statements cited in QFG's complaint question Pepin's meditation techniques and comment on Pepin's 2007 trial on multiple sexual charges involving a 17-year-old male acolyte. The statements at issue include a November 7, 2007 comment that "It's really starting to look like this Eric Pepin and his Higher Balance Institute may be merely COINTELPRO and a front for pedophilia" and a November 4, 2007 comment by an anonymous poster that something "fishy" was going on at HBI.
QFG's motions state that the forum posts are opinion based on stated facts published on a mainstream news source and are constitutionally protected. The motion also argues that the operator of an Internet forum cannot be liable for the posts of third parties under the Communications Decency Act of 1996 ("CDA") and questions Oregon's jurisdiction over QFG, a California non-profit corporation whose primary place of business is in France.
"These are exactly the sort of statements that the First Amendment and recent statutes protect as free speech," said QFG attorney Stephen Kaus, who prepared the papers with his colleagues Walter Hansell and Merrit Jones. "People are entitled to believe in gurus such as Pepin and buy their books and courses for hundreds of dollars or more, but people are also entitled to point out their view that the techniques of telepathy and development of a sixth eye promoted by Pepin are nonsense."
Much of the dispute concerns Pepin's trial on charges of sexual misconduct with a minor. Pepin was acquitted in a court trial because the judge did not feel the charges had been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. According to the article in the Oregonian, Washington County Circuit Court Judge Steven L. Price stated that it was, " 'probable that the conduct alleged in all counts occurred,' but he wasn't convinced beyond a reasonable doubt" and "called the leader of a metaphysical Internet sales company manipulative and controlling and his testimony unbelievable, even as he acquitted him today of charges that he had sex with an underage boy."
SOTT.NET posters point out that being found "not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt" is not the same thing as being found "innocent of all charges."
The sexual charges aside, the SOTT.NET forum topic on Pepin and HBI has been the site of a lively debate on whether he is an exploiter, ever since a visitor posted an inquiry about them in 2006. Several Pepin devotees have posted fervent praise, while others have denounced him as a power-lusting cult leader who takes advantage of gullible followers.
SOTT.NET contends that it is the public's right to examine the claims of any company selling a product or service to the public and to form their own opinion as to whether it is "snake-oil" sold by con-artists or not and that those opinions may be made public for the safety of consumers.
In a previous press release, atty Walter Hansell noted: "HBI's lawsuit is a frontal assault on free speech, and on the free global flow of information and opinion on the Internet. It is a blunt force attack on the discussion of sincere opinions among people sharing common interests."
See: [link to www.prnewschannel.com]
Following the filing of the motions to dismiss on April 25th, Walter Hansell of Cooper, White & Cooper said: "The intent of this suit by HBI is to stifle free speech, but luckily the anti SLAPP statute allows us to nip the matter in the bud before the cost is out of hand."

Cookie cutter freedom of speech lawyers. They have no clue. They expect thier clients to brief them and tell them the truth.
This, the TRUTH, is obviously a non-starter witk LKJ and darthARK.
If Oregon jurisdiction fails, then LKJ's lawyers have already shot themselves in the foot by all the info they have supplied about California charity status' and tax dealings - Pepin can just as easily sue in CA. |

Sheesh!
This eveil backstabbing midget of an Irish leprosychaun Joseph Quinnsling should hang his head in shame for this disgustingly cowardly hit piece on Eric Pepin. But of course he won't.
He should be thoroughly ashamed of himself. But he won't be.
Not only have he and his cult-buddies trashed Eric Pepin's name for some time now on their inbred cult-forums, they have now decided to trash Pepin's name via press releases targetting maximum exposure over the whole internet.
Their aim is simply to ruin Pepin and ruin his business, despite the trial looming ever nearer.
Under the false guise of background objectivity, the 'press release' above written by Quinnsling and signed off by the gruesome twosome PURPOSELY sets out to libel and defame Pepin (YET AGAIN) so that the whole world will know about Quinnslings manipulative allegations.
It's bad enough that Quinnsling and his cult-buddies trashed Pepin in the first place, but now they intend to do even MORE damage to Pepin in the run up to the trial.
So WHO is exhibiting mean-minded and evil psychopathic behaviour here?
I think it is obvious - Laura Knight-Jadczyk has brought all her 'insider' followers down to her own base STS level - just look at how Quinnsling trashes Eric Pepin, and tell me if this is the way an STO person or group would behave???
These are Quinnslings own words remember, in his scribblings above:
snip
"It's really starting to look like this Eric Pepin and his Higher Balance Institute may be merely COINTELPRO and a front for pedophilia"
QUINNSLING TRANSLATION: None of us here at the SOTT dungeons know Eric Pepin from Adam. He has not hurt us or had anything to do with us, but we are going to launch an international coordinated systemic vicious hate campaign against Eric Pepin and his business anyway, because that is what we like to do to keep ourselves busy busy busy. W've done the same thing to Jay Weidner, Andrew Rowlamd, Vincent Bridges, Colleen Johnson, Dan Winter, ShoutWire, Above Top Secret, and many many others. We've accused all these folks of being COINTELPRO without a shred of evidence, and/or of being psychopaths. This is what we do, our raison d'etre, and we like to think we do it very well indeed.

QUINNSLING TRANSLATION: Let's trash Pepin here shall we! Just so that you GET it, let me remind you with the following KEY words from the above!
'sexual conduct with a minor' - (Laura's husband prior to the current iteration was not a minor, but she threatened to report him to the social services and police for sexual abuse of their children if he did not agree to divorce her...)
'acquitted' - (Laura Knight-Jadczyk was acquitted of a first degree murder charge...)
'reasonable doubt' - (Laura Knight-Jadczyk was acquitted of a first degree murder charge...)
'probable' - (Laura Knight-Jadczyk was acquitted of a first degree murder charge...)
'occurred' - (Laura Knight-Jadczyk was acquitted of a first degree murder charge...)
'leader of a metaphysical internet sales company' - (Laura Knight-Jadczyk is the controlling and manipulative guru in her own internet based pyramid scheme metaphysical kool aid cult...)
'manipulative' - (Laura Knight-Jadczyk is the controlling and manipulative guru in her own internet based pyramid scheme metaphysical kool aid cult...)
'controlling' - (Laura Knight-Jadczyk is the controlling and manipulative guru in her own internet based pyramid scheme metaphysical kool aid cult...)
'convinced' - (Laura Knight-Jadczyk was acquitted of a first degree murder charge...)

And in the run up to the trial!
Right slap in the judge's face!!!
I can assure you that the trial judge (and Eric Pepin's lawyers) will take a VERY dim view of this blatantly amateurish and transparent tactic.
And so will the jury.
The idiot leprosychaun Quinnslong has probably just caused himself and his cult a coupla-three more million buckeroos in punitive damages!!!

Yeah, that cracks me up! Who would have thought my words would be immortalized in the archives of the law? As one of our atty's wrote to me after filing:
Though not altogether by choice, you have come to play a part now not only in the
exercise of free expression, but in its institutional defense in the developing online context. The
law takes a long time to catch up with change, so this is cutting edge.
Pepin's atty's must respond before the end of May, and then there is a short period before some kind of decision must be made by the judge, as I understand it. So, sometime in June we should know something. |

It's going on and won't stop until... who knows? The arguments behind the HBI's lawsuit against the Sott alternative news site - really a good one - are just non-existent. Seems to me that it all happened just because HBI has a great deal of money to spend and if you can't stand up for the truth the first thing that the one in error does is to just sue anybody... that's my take on it, and the forum in question speaks for itself.

("QFG"), the only defendant that has been served in an Internet defamation suit brought by New-Age guru Eric Pepin's sales company, has forcefully challenged the merits of the case and has asked an Oregon federal judge for a dismissal and attorneys fees.
The case concerns postings on a forum hosted by SOTT.net (Signs of the Times), an Internet site devoted to news and analysis in various fields, including analyzing and exposing cults. Citing Oregon's anti-SLAPP ("Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation") statute, QFG contends that the statements about Pepin and his company, Higher Balance Institute, LLC ("HBI") are constitutionally protected. Because HBI cannot show that it probably will prevail, QFG argues, the case must be dismissed before QFG or the other defendants must spend large amounts to defend themselves. |

Re: Eric Pepin - Higher Balance Institute - Discussion
Excellent work by the attorneys here.
WHAT? CLAIMING LACK OF JURISDICTION AND RELYING ON THE CONSTITUTION TO PROTECT THEM (THE CULT) FROM LIBEL AND OTHER LAWSUITS? FREE SPEECH IS ONE THING, AND RIGHTLY PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTION - BUT STEPPING OVER THE LINE AND ACCUSING AN INDIVIDUAL OF THE MOST VILE AND REPREHENSIBLE CRIMES WITHOUT AN IOTA OF PROOF IS CLEARLY NOT PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTION - THE FOUNDING FATHERS INSTITUTED A FRAMEWORK, AND THAT FRAMEWORK IS ALWAYS BEING ABUSED - THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF CRIMINALS, LAURA KNIGHT-JADCZYK AND HER SERVANTS, HIDING UNDER THE SKIRT OF THE CONSTITUTION. PERSONALLY I FIND IT QUITE DISGUSTING THAT THEY SHOULD OFFER UP ASPECTS OF THE CONSTITUTION TO DEFEND THEIR CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. IT IS OBSCENE.
The logic is fool-proof, IMHO,
HUBRIS - LET'S SEE WHAT THE JUDGE SAYS ABOUT ISSUING LIBELOUS AND DEFAMOTORY SELF-CONGRATULATORY PRESS RELEASES...
with dozens
QUALITY NOT QUANTITY - LAURA'S EVER PRESENT MODUS OPERANDI TO OVERWHELM THE JUDGE WITH MOUNTAINS OF PAPER WILL NOT WORK AS IT ALWAYS DOES TO HER BRAINWASHED PIPSQUEAKS ON HER FORUMS...
of relevant past court cases and crystal-clear dissections of the forum posts in question. Kind of reminds me of the meticulousness of Laura's written work
WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT - OF COURSE IT DOES! LMAO!
Though not altogether by choice, you have come to play a part now not only in the
exercise of free expression, but in its institutional defense in the developing online context. The
law takes a long time to catch up with change, so this is cutting edge.
SoTT's making history, but only by being proactive and actually DOing something
TOTAL FUCKING BULLSHIT - IT WAS PEPIN THAT WAS PROACTIVE, PROACTIVE BY SHUTTING DOWN SOTT AND QFG AND PREVENTING THEM FROM LIBELING AND SLANDERING BOTH HIMSELF AND DOPZENS OF OTHER INDIVIDUALS.
LKJ AND HER MINIONS ARE BEING PRECISELY ***NON***-PROACTIVE BECAUSE THEY ARE CLAIMING LACK OF JURISDICTION AND TRYING TO GET THE CASE THROWN OUT.
AND THIS FUCKING EINSTEIN THINKS THIS IS BEING PROACTIVE?
about the initial suit by HBI. It would have been much 'easier' to be passive and give in, so as to 'avoid all the trouble'.
THIS IDIOT LIVES IN A LAND OF PLAY DOUGH AND EASTER BUNNIES. HE HAS NO FUCKING IDEA HOW THE WORLD WORKS - LKJ AND HER MINIONS DECLARED WAR ON PEPIN AND SET OUT TO RUIN HIM AND HIS BUSINESS - THEY ARE ESCALATING THE WAR BY ISSUING WORLDWIDE LIBELOUS AND DEFAMATORY PRESS RELEASES - PEPIN IS PERFECTLY ENTITLED TO PROTECT HIS NAME AND BUSINESS REPUTATION VIA THE COURTS. MANY OF LAURA'S VICTIMS WOULD DO EXACTLY THE SAME IF THE HAD THE MONEY - SO PEPIN IS FIGHTING FOR ALL THOSE FOLKS VICTIMISED BY LKJ AND HER CULT.
FURTHER - SHE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO REAM HER FOLLOWERS FOR MONEY TO PROTECT HER ASS. ARK BELOW KNOWS THEY ARE GOING TO LOSE. WHEN LKJ SETS FOOT IN THE USA PEPIN'S LAWYERS WILL HAVE HER ARRESTED, IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.
PEPIN HAS PLAYED THIS BRILLIANTLY.
Unscrupulous people rely on those they tread upon to retreat in fear under their supposed power/authority.
THIS IDIOT IS DESCRIBING LKJ AND HER CULT - A CULT WHICH HAS LIBELED AND DEFAMED DOZENS AND DOZENS OF PEOPLE AND INSTITUTIONS OVER THE YEARS. TIME TO PAY THE PIPER.
I bet Pepin never intended it to come to this
OF COURSE HE DID. HE HIRED EXPERIENCED COUNSEL AND WILL FOLLOW THIS THROUGH TO THE END.
- he really didn't know who he was dealing with here.
HE DID, AND CERTAINLY DOES NOW. HIS LAWYERS KNOW LKJ AND ARK ARE BULLIES, AND THEY HAVE CALLED THEM. THIS WHOLE THREAD IS IN THE HANDS OF HIS LAWYERS. HE HAS SO MUCH JUICY AMMO TO USE HIS LAWYERS WILL HAVE DIFFICULTY PRESENTING THE JUDGE WITH THE MOST DAMNING EVIDENCE!
As is often said here on the forum: "wishful thinking [or lack of thinking] will get you every time."
PRECISELY. AND WHO'S DOING THE WISHFUL THINKING HERE?
YOU, MY FRIEND.
AND LAURA.
SHE THINKS SHE IS INVINCIBLE AND SHE THINKS SHE CAN GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING - IT'S WORKED HER WHOLE LIFE, SO WHY SHOULD IT NOT CONTINUE TO WORK?
LOL!!!
It should be mentioned that this defense would not have been possible without the funds that were raised for this very purpose. I wish to thank whole-heartedly all SoTT.net members and readers, forum members and readers, and others who contributed to the fund-raising. Just goes to show that only through teamwork and networking can anything of objective significance get accomplished in this world.
MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN, JUST LIKE THE HOUSE RAFFLE.
Can you tell I'm happy?
I CAN TELL YOU ARE THE MOST DELUDED BROWN-NOSING WHACK JOB I'VE SEEN IN QUITE SOME TIME.

Yes, some of the legal responses are truly masterful.
SUUUUUUUURE - LACK OF JURISDICTION. ABSOLUTELY FUCKING ***MASTERFUL!*** <SARCASM>
You know, we often say the same thing ('didn't know who they were dealing with') about our cyberpaths/ predators. As cunning as they are, they often underestimate the intelligence & fortitude of their victims.
FUCKING-A! LAURA WILL BE DESTROYED BY THIS SUIT, AND SO WILL THE CULT COLLAPSE WHEN THE SNAKE'S HEAD IS CUT OFF.
It seems the depth and force of their rage when they are exposed increases when they realize they did underestimate the victim.
YOU ARE DESCRIBING PEPIN AND ALL LAURA'S VICTIMS, LOL!
Great work Laura, et al!

Re: Eric Pepin - Higher Balance Institute - Discussion
Nice work what the lawyers did.
BTW, for a look back in time, I found the following:
"Is Truth Defamatory?" --> [link to www.cassiopaea.com]
It would seem that this time it is a variation of that same theme just more radical, because this time it isn't even about "truth" but about "opinion".
SURE. LAURA HAS AN OPINION OF PEPIN, BUT SHE HAS NO RIGHT TO BROADCAST THAT OPION WITHOUT A SHRED OF EVIDENCE. NEVERTHELESS SHE COCKED A SNOOK AT THE LAW AND AT PEPIN, AND NOW SHE WILL PAY THE PRICE.
SIMPLE.
What will it be next time: "You thought badly about me/us" ... ?

Re: Eric Pepin - Higher Balance Institute - Discussion
I think that there are times when it does not matter whether you are going to win or to loose.
YOU ARE GOING TO LOOSE ARK, YOU FREAK. YOU KNOW IT, WHICH IS WHY YOU JUST SAID IT.
You only know that you are doing your duty in the name of the dearest principles.
LOL, YOU WOULDN'T KNOW PRINCIPLES IF THEY BIT YOU ON YOUR SAGGY WHITE ASS. IT IS NOT YOUR DUTY TO GO AROUND THE NET LIBELING AND DEFAMING PEOPLE AT WHIM AS YOU'VE DONE OVER THE LAST 8 YEARS - IT IS YOUR DUTY TO OBESERVE THE LAWS OF KARMA AND TREAT OTHER PEOPLE HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED YOURSELF. YOU HAVE FAILED THAT TEST, YOU AND YOUR ABHORRENT WIFE, TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME. I DON'T KNOW *ANYBODY* WHO HAS MADE SO MANY ENEMIES AS YOU TWO. YOU REALLY TAKE FIRST PRIZE HERE IN THAT REGARD, SO CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER. AT LEAST YOU'VE EXCELLED AT SOMETHING IN YOUR PITIFUL LIVES.
Sometimes it is the appropriate time - as it was in the case of Rosa Parks. Greeks had a special name for such times and such actions - KAIROS.
THEY ALSO HAD A NAME FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU TWO - CRIMINALS. |

SOTT defends its free speech rights
I am watching this case that I previously posted on very closely. As I mentioned before, it seems like one heck of a free speech issue to me. And since the powers that be are clamping down so much on freedom, it would be interesting to see the outcome. I am glad that SOTT is not going gently into the night but instead is vigorously defending themselves and by proxy our right to state OPINIONS on matters of FACT. I am glad other web citizens are picking up on it too. Too bad more people are not. I am reminded of this:
First they came for the Communist and I did not speak out--because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the Socialist and I did not speak out--because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionist and I did not speak out--because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out--because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me."
----Reverend Martin Niemueller
[YAWN - how cliched...]
It seems that friends of Mr. Pepin or maybe they're just individuals who see the case differently than I do, are going to little read blogs like yours truly to defend him. Free speech and all. I have no issues with them posting what they think about the case as long as they are not using foul language and threatening harm. I may not agree with what is said, but I certainty will support the right for it to be said. SOTT seems to be fighting back by asking for a dismissal of the case.
QFG and SOTT.net defend Internet First Amendment rights.

Free speech on the web threatened
While posting about Battlestar Galactica, I also checked out some old links and came across a doozy of a case regarding a free speech issue. While I don't always have time to look into all my links anymore, a cursory view suggests that a whole lot has happened in a year. Signs of the times became SOTT.net and they are being sued.
It seems this Eric Pepin dude didn't like what was said about him on the alternative news forum for the SOTT website a while back. He claims to have lost income based on the discussion.
You'd think this guy who admits to having slept with his employees would be less litigious. Is he going to sue every website that mentioned his case regarding sex with a minor?
ACTUALLY, LAURA IS CLAIMING THAT PEPIN'S HBI IS A FRONT FOR PEDOPHILIA AND THAT PEPIN IS A COINTELPRO AGENT.
I WISH THESE NUMBSKULL BLOGGERS WOULD DO SOME BASIC RESEARCH BEFORE BEEING FOOLED BY QUINNSLING'S PROPAGANDA.
Is he going to sue every public person who participated on the discussion forum that ensued? He got off on that case, but come on..suing for discussing what was a real news story is kinda...well, you make up your mind.
"Master" Eric J Pepin
Yesterday, as I was working on finishing up the next installment of the Comet Series of Articles, FedEx delivered a packet of mail from our corporate registered agent in the U.S. It was "Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial" filed in the State of Oregon by Eric Pepin's Higher Balance Institute, LLC. The reason? A discussion on the SOTT Forum that begins HERE.
Well, that was entertaining enough when you think about the fact that the discussion that he objects to was centered on several newspaper articles that describe his close calls with the legal system in Oregon over charges of sex abuse.
The legal document I received is 10 pages long so I'm just going to summarize it here. If you want to read the whole thing (it's hilarious beyond belief!) go HERE for the pdf.

Thanks Stormy. For the record, this is the article:
(hmmmm, when Laura can raise $128,000 in just a few weeks by writing those defamatory statements about Pepin, pedophilia and cointelpro, and now jumping on the 1st amendement internet bandwagon, you can bet your last dollar that the cash regiters are ringing in her eyes and that she will write a book about all this and she will try and capitalise on this to the max - just wait and see.

Odd news site slaps back at lawsuit
Not liable for forum comments
By Egan Orion: Monday, 05 May 2008, 3:41 AM
IN OUR QUEST for IT news to interest you, our readers, we often trawl some of the more obscure nooks and crannies of the web, so you don't have to do so.
One of the websites we visit because it's a veritable magnet for odd technology news is Signs of the Times, so we couldn't help but notice when it was sued for Internet defamation. The INQUIRER takes a rather keen interest when other news sites are sued for libel, for reasons that might be obvious to our readers.
In February, Eric Pepin of Beaverton, Oregon and his company, Higher Balance Institute, filed an Internet defamation lawsuit against the California non-profit organisation Quantum Future Group, which operates the Signs of the Times news and analysis website, and Laura Knight-Jadczyk, who resides in France and is the chief webmistress of Signs of the Times.
Pepin's complaint (pdf) alleged that comments that appeared on the Signs of the Times reader forum were libelous, and it sought damages of $4.47 million.
Signs of the Times has only a relatively small readership, but it's a loyal group. When the website was sued it appealed for donations to cover its legal defence costs. Within just a few weeks its readers donated £65,000 (about $128,000).
On Saturday, Signs of the Times announced through its attorneys that on April 25 it filed motions challenging Pepin's lawsuit in US District Court in Portland, Oregon. In a statement, defendant Quantum Future Group (QFG) said it asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit and further asked to recover its attorneys fees.
In its legal briefs, QFG cited Oregon's anti-SLAPP ("Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation") statute to claim that its statements about New-Age "guru" Pepin and Higher Balance Institute (HBI) are constitutionally protected speech.
Under the anti-SLAPP law, QFG argues, if the plaintiffs cannot show that they will probably prevail on the merits, the lawsuit must be dismissed before QFG and other defendants have to incur high attorneys fees to defend themselves.
QFG contends that Pepin and HBI can't show they will probably prevail on the merits because, "Without exception, the statements are all constitutionally protected expressions of opinion rather than verifiable assertions of fact."
Since the statements to which Pepin and HBI object are opinions, QFG argues, "HBI cannot meet its burden to prove, by clear and convincing evidence, that the statements are false, let alone that Defendants knew that they were false or had serious doubts as to their truth."
Signs of the Times reader forum comments that Pepin and HBI alleged were defamatory included some posts questioning Pepin's meditative techniques and commenting on Pepin's 2007 trial on multiple alleged sexual offences involving his behaviour with a 17-year old follower.
"These are exactly the sort of statements that the First Amendment and recent statutes protect as free speech," said QFG attorney Stephen Kaus. "People are entitled to believe in gurus such as Pepin and buy their books and courses for hundreds of dollars or more, but people are also entitled to point out their view that the techniques of telepathy and development of a sixth eye promoted by Pepin are nonsense."
QFG maintains that the forum comments were opinions in reaction to matters of fact reported by mainstream news sources, including The Oregonian, a daily newspaper published in Portland, Oregon, and the Associated Press, and are therefore protected by both the US Constitution and the Oregon Constitution.
An article in The Oregonian reported on Pepin's 2007 court trial on charges of sexual misconduct with a minor. Pepin was acquitted because the judge did not believe that the state's allegations had been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
Washington County Circuit Court Judge Steven L. Price reportedly said it was "'probable that the conduct alleged in all counts occurred,' but [that] he wasn't convinced beyond a reasonable doubt." According to The Oregonian, Judge Price "called the leader of a metaphysical Internet sales company manipulative and controlling and his testimony unbelievable, even as he acquitted him... of charges that he had sex with an underage boy."
Signs of the Times readers pointed out on its forum that being found "not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt" is not the same thing as being found " innocent of all charges."
QFG's motion also argues that, under the US Communications Decency Act of 1996, Signs of the Times, as the operator of an Internet forum, is not liable for third-party comments posted on its website. It also questions the Oregon based federal court's jurisdiction over QFG, a California non-profit organisation with its primary place of business in France.
QFG attorney Walter Hansell stated in an earlier press release, "HBI's lawsuit is a frontal assault on free speech, and on the free global flow of information and opinion on the Internet. It is a blunt force attack on the discussion of sincere opinions among people sharing common interests."
Following QFG's April 25th motions filing, Hansell said, "The intent of this suit by HBI is to stifle free speech, but luckily the anti-SLAPP statute allows us to nip the matter in the bud before the cost is out of hand."
Hopefully the court will order Pepin to pay the attorneys fees incurred by QFG and Signs of the Times to defend themselves as well. µ

Egan Orion (right) is a typical lazy internet scribbler - all he has done is regurgitate Quinnsling's defamatory press release word for word.
Let's face it - all these know-nothing internet bloggers are going to support the Quinnsling/LKJ machine, as it gives permission for any blogger to say anything he likes about anyone without any consequences at all.

someone with some common sense replies...
Tom Nelson said...
I think its interesting how you guys are totally missing the point. Yes, he had sex with some people at his job! Is this the first time we heard a boss have done that? thats the oldest story in the book. So, if he is gay, is that a crime?
SOTT is not being sued for posting the news, its all the other crap that they are saying. Where they have decided that he is a sex predator from their own judgment.
The news said that he was NOT GUILTY. So how come you guys still talk about that he is? THATS REALLY A PUZZLE TO ME?? and scary too! I think the root of this case is really about spiritual teachings and that the woman that runs SOTT parently are not open to other ideas than her own that entales believing in George Bush being an Alien! There you go!! If she believes THAT I can see she believes something different than that was proven in court. We call those people something too!
And even... even IF he was guilty.. he would not have been if it happened a few miles away, in Washington state where the rules are different!
Let the legal system judge people based on fact.. not a bunch of people reading on Internet, not catching the point and just rant on with their own opinions.. What a world we would live in if people were put in jail for that?
Why dont u check the background of the Lady running SOTT? Thats very interesting!! What a scam!
Treathening internet free speech? what a joke!! That doesn't mean that you can make up lies for people and ruin their life. If someone goes around hanging up pictures of you in your neighbourhood telling you that you raped a 7 year old kid and you never did it? what would you have done? Knocked on the door and punched the guy in the face? NOOO its free speech.. so they can do what they want? let them tell the lies!! Ridiculous.. u should be responsible for the lies you are spreading that affect other people.. |

It seems to me that Laura is once again confusing issues regarding
protection of free speech. She has done this in the past and apparently
did not learn from her experiences. Not surprising, for those who know her.
The First Amendment to the US Constitution protects the **right** to free speech. It does *not* protect one from any and all possible consequences which may result from speaking freely.
As such, it would seem to me that her motion to dismiss is beside the point. This is a civil action, not a criminal action. The issue at hand is not whether or not Laura Knight-Jadczyk has the right to free speech. The issue is whether or not the results of her speaking freely about someone else has resulted in financial and/or other damages occurring to that person and/or his enterprise. And further, whether or not the plaintiff has the right to demand compensation as overseen by the Court for these alleged damages.
I would think that Pepin's lawyers would be competent enough to be able to make that distinction before the Court in their counter argument. Likewise, I am a bit surprised that Laura's counsel would try to take this tack, considering that protection of free speech is not the issue here.
And that brings the issue back to just what the First Amendment provides for one with regard to free speech. It appears that Laura, as in the past, honestly believes that she and QFG are to be allowed to say whatever they want to, anytime they want to and about anyone, anywhere and in any way that they could possibly conceive, without suffering any sort of consequences for this in any form or fashion or from any direction or entity whatsoever.
But again, this is a civil action. The State has not stepped into the fray, demanding punishment for criminal malfeasance. A private individual has sought financial damages in a civil court, relating strictly to civil matters.
Libel is normally pursued as a civil action and no division of government manages its conveyance. It is only when someone requests a hearing in a civil proceeding that the issue is debated and only then does the court pronounce a verdict.
It will be interesting to see how the Court in Oregon responds to this motion to dismiss. |

The first rule of litigation for defendants is that you keep your mouth shut. You don't say anything because it can and will be used against you.
Here they are issuing press releases!
WTF?
This isn't a reporter on a story, it is published by Laura.
Incredible.

I am having the same problem getting in. They may be blocking individual isp numbers - i.e. those numbers not on their database registered list flagged as one of their brainwashed acolytes. If they have any sense at all they will have realised that Pepin's lawyers are reading their endless self-congratulatory crowing. Stormy is dead on - they are shooting themselves in the foot whenever they open their never-ending yappers. But too late - all is recorded here on these pages, and on the internet wayback machine. I have been answering a few blogs leaving an alternative point of view (i.e. the recent very clued up legal analysis a couple of posts back) and I have also given the link to these pages so that interested folks can do their own digging. I also wrote to the journalist on the UK Inquirer. I suggest all of us that are upset with lawyer's defamation antics over the years also write with the POV as generally expressed on this thread. I think we all need as individuals harmed by LKJ and her DARPA husband to step up to the plate and get Pepin's lawyers all the information they need. |

lawyer's defamation antics
OOPS
Should read Laura's defamation antics ... heh
It would be useful to contact all those people LKJ has harmed over the years and have them relay their defamation and stalking experiences to Pepin's lawyers - I am thinking of course of VB, Stormy, Colleen Johnson, Winter, Above Top Secret and etc etc etc. The list is LONG - does anyone have a definitive list? |

The thread is now locked. They really are dunces. Yes, it took them that long - the gruesone twosome read these pages every day. Which is why I address them and their servants personally. The beauty of GLP is it can't be (within reason) censored - try posting ***any*** of the information on these pages on the SNOTT forums so that their brainwashed dollar donators can get a clue - >>> = instant banning.

I was able to visit that particular topic, but page 28 no longer exists - you have to go to [link to www.sott.net]
Vincent, what did you see at that link? In what way did the asshats (lol) realise their booboo? |

Most strange.
28 did exist, yesterday, but now the latest comments, see below, are on page 27. With 29 still there, but pointing to a 404 type dead end - purposely.

Re: Eric Pepin - Higher Balance Institute - Discussion
I'd say this article nicely summarizes the case and it's issues. And coming from a source not connected with QFG or SOTT gives it more weight. I notice at the top of the page on the link is: "Not liable for forum comments"
That's the point, it's an exchange of opinion. A discussion. In fact Mr Pepin himself could have entered the discussion at any time expressing his own view of the matter.
This suit has no legs at all.

This means that at least 1 page has been hacked out, pruned, deleted - inexpertly.
At least when GLP does this it is usually pretty seamless unless you are paying attention.
So what page of information do LKJ and the Stasi Nazi want hidden? |
