[The
embedded e-mail from me below, with its further details about the coup attempt
and reactions in ECMAS to it, was forwarded by Ms. Malenfant to the reporter
six days before she published the article about me.] --->
Hello Donna,
Here is another email chain forwarded to me between Ferrel Christensen and a
fellow named |Doug Pierozinski. Apparently, I am not the only one with a
dark side, according to Ferrel Christensen. I think what he writes will
startle you.
