Jeff Rense EXPOSED!!

[Heimdallr]

We've suspected for years that Rense is COINTELPRO.  Well, maybe he isn't, maybe he's just psychopathic?

The two aren't mutually exclusive either, so I suspect that his personality traits made him a good fit for the job.

After reading what his ex-wifes had to say - I'd vote psychopath/useful idiot.  This makes his ad for a wife not even funny anymore, it is actually revolting.

Sandra Brown could have a field day with this.  Maybe this info should be cross-posted to the psychopath pages?

Yeah.  He sure sounds like a classic.

Oh my, we have to archive that one!

So, here is part two of a third ex-wife's effusions:

Control Freak: Jeff Rense Couldn't Keep a Job
 May 6, 2012
Jekyll & Rense: A Third Ex-Wife Speaks, Part Two

"Jeff needed to be in control ...  As a result, I saw him get fired and/or quit a number of his TV station jobs because of his personality problem."

By Anonymous Ex-Wife
(henrymakow.com)

In the four years we were together, Jeff was unemployed about half of the time.  When he was working, he would not allow me to work. 

When he was unemployed, I would work, but Jeff would drive me to and from my job.  I was not allowed to socialize after work with my co-workers.

We moved frequently; 12 times in 4 years!  I got to the point where I could pack up a 3-bedroom house in 24 hours, with boxes that I would save from the previous move.

The first move after listing the Santa Barbara house, was to Spokane, WA, for a job that he took with a TV station there.  The movers picked up our belongings and we drove up to WA  to get ourselves settled.  We rented a place.

After Jeff's first night on the job, he came home, white as a sheet, and told me, "I can't work there!"  He hated it and said that we would leave WA immediately.  We called the movers and told them to hold our belongings until we knew where we were going.

We drove to Reno, NV, and stayed at his Grandparents place.  He applied for work at a TV station in Reno, and we started looking for a place to live. 

Keep in mind, Jeff was very talented at what he did, but always had personality issues with the people he worked for. He needed to be in control and did not like being under somebody else.  As a result, I saw him get fired and/or quit a number of his TV station jobs because of his personality problem.

UPS AND DOWNS

We were so broke by this time that we couldn't afford to do anything, other than to go see an occasional matinee. 

But movies were a horrible experience because Jeff couldn't tolerate the sounds of people chewing on their popcorn -- "feedbags", he called them. 

We would have to get up and change seats numerous times to escape the "feedbags".  Once, I recall having to move six times in the theater!  I no longer enjoyed going to the movies.

When we finally sold the Santa Barbara house, Jeff used the money to buy a half-acre property in Reno, so that he could again build his "dream home". 

Unfortunately, the person who bought the Santa Barbara house went into default within a year, causing us to repossess it and put it up for sale again. 

Now we were in worse shape with two properties we couldn't afford, and moving back and forth from Reno to Santa Barbara to take care of business. If it weren't for my parents lending us money, we would have lost it all.

Jeff was working for the NBC station in Reno, as News Director.  He worked there while the Reno house was being built, but was fired soon after the house was completed.   

While residing in Nevada, Jeff said he wanted to "divorce on paper only", but continue to live together as a married couple.  He said this was for "tax purposes". 

This was less than two years into our marriage.  I agreed to the divorce because I already knew that I wanted to get away from him as soon as I was financially able.  I hid this from him, but was already formulating my escape plan.  Unfortunately, it took me another two years to finally make my escape.

SKIING

When in Nevada, Jeff let me celebrate my birthday by allowing me to enjoy my favorite sport: snow skiing! 

Jeff could not ski due to his knee disability, so he said he would hang out at the lodge.  While on the ski slopes, Jeff stood at the bottom of the hill and watched me like a hawk.  I was not allowed to ski where he could not see me. 

While riding a chair up with another girl, she asked if I wanted to ski with her to another run.  I was having such a wonderful time, that I felt  there would be no harm in following her for a short while.  Within 20 minutes, I went back down the hill again, where Jeff could see me. 

He frantically waved me over to him and was very angry with me.  Because he lost sight of me, he was extremely upset and told me to get out of my skiis, because we were leaving immediately. 

I was so sad, but did as he requested.  On the drive home, he told me that I was through snow skiing, and that I would never ski again!  I cried over it but never argued with him.  I just told myself that I would leave him as soon as I was able.

CATS

Jeff was also cruel to my cats.  I had a cat when we got married.  When we moved into the Reno house (it was in the forest at the 6000 ft. elevation, with a creek running through a portion of it), my cat started hunting squirrels and other small critters.

Jeff told me that once an animal gets a taste of  blood, it becomes wild and won't stop killing other animals.  He forced me to take my cat to the veterinarian's office alone and have it euthanized.  He said, "It's you cat, it's your responsibility!"  Needless to say, it broke my heart, and I cried all the way to the vet and back.

Jeff eventually allowed me to get another cat in it's place.  After our final breakup, he convinced me to let him take our dog and this new cat.  Jeff liked dogs.  He said the cat and dog were friends and the dog would be lonely without the cat. 

So I allowed him to take my cat to Oregon, where he had a new TV job.  Within weeks, he informed me that my cat urinated on his new recliner chair, so he threw it outside, where it was quickly eaten by coyotes.  Jeff killed two of my cats!


JEFF EXTORTS ALL OUR MARITAL ASSETS


Prior to our breakup, we finally sold both houses.  We were able to pay off all of my debts, including my parents.  He finally bought me a replacement car (a used Volvo sedan) and we still had approximately $100,000 left.  This was what I had been waiting for.  I was now debt-free and able to move on.

At this time, we were living in a condo in Santa Barbara, and I had a good job at a local bank.  Jeff had just gotten a new TV job in Oregon.  He begged me to move up there with him.

I was adamant about wanting my freedom and I told him that we were through. 

He tried to manipulate me into staying with him by telling me that I was a "29 year old two-time loser", (I had married at 18 and divorced at 22yrs. old, being too young, and the split was amicable).  "Who is going to want to date you!"

The only way I could get him to leave was to allow him to take all our profits from our four years together.  We would never have had this money if it weren't for selling my car, possessions, and borrowing from my parents. 

He took all $100,000 claiming that he would never have anything without it, but that I would someday have an inheritance  when my father died.  My mother had already passed away the year before, and I was devastated by her death.  She had been my best friend as well as my mother.

I knew my life and sanity were more important than any amount of money. 

Jeff left me flat broke and I had to borrow $1,000 from my father in order  move to another condo.

My dad said, "He sure showed his true colors", by leaving me to start completely over again.  But I moved forward in life and the best thing I did for myself, was to get away from Jeffry Rense.

 No baths --  GERMS!!!

I think I might be noticing an interesting pattern here?  I was thinking that many of the people I  know who are working for (they hope) the "good guys," by whatever name, tend to bath very frequently, often more than would be generally considered "normal"  Almost ALL of the "bad guys" I've run up against didn't bath very often at all, I could smell that.

Then there are all the various "evil beings scared of water" stories, in a bunch of different cultures.

Wonder if there is a connection?

O....M....G...

Rense is looking for 'love'....vegan or veggie-brained non-smokers, 36-43 (rense is 66!) to share in his life, his 5 acre ranch and his bizarre hair-doo.

I am curious as to how he arrived at the age range of 36-43.

I dunno about that Guardian. I do not have a big enough sample, but my ex "path" was the biggest neat control freak I have ever seen, and took a lot of showers. Probably 100 different bottles of cologne too.


Another questionable path that I knew was a germ freak who had a hand washing compulsion and would lysol furniture if anyone else sat in it. 


My mother , who I can guess probably is NPD or so severely wounded there is no difference , is about the biggest neat freak in the world.


The corporate psychopaths I knew were the best dressed and had a neat freak thing going on too - desk in absolute order at all times.


I think it is all about control.


Now, in the town I grew up in, which was a poor area, the pathier people were all more on the sloppy, lazy, dirty level.


So IDK.

That's an interesting thought. I am reminded of Ira Einhorn too, the psycho who killed his girlfriend, Holly Maddux, and had her body in a trunk at his house for months, till he got caught. Laura writes about him in the Wave, it happened sometime in the 70s. There was something about him loving being stingy and not a big fan on hygiene too. His need to control Holly, to the point of killing her as not to allow her her freedom, can be heard through the stories of Rense's ex-wives too. But I can imagine that the hygiene thing can go in either of the extremes with the psychos.

And I agree with Lilou. His ad for a new wife is not fun at all under this light. Predator on the hunt!

I think psychopaths just can't do something because it's the right thing to do, because it's beneficial for health and for the benefit of others, simple as that. They go to one or the other extreme for obsessive reasons - either they don't care about cleanliness at all because it doesn't matter to them and it gets in the way of their other activities, or they obsess over it for control reasons.

Speaking of uncleanliness, it does remind me of the foray into filth that these types tend to take on semi consistent basis (as often as they can get away with it) - orgies, pedophilia, killing/torturing animals, etc. Somehow they always need that "fix" of dirt, a sort of reflection of themselves. So even those obsessed with cleanliness would have their own dirty episodes.

Their are a few places where water is a metaphor for knowledge, FWIW

With all the recent talk about the horrors of Dutroux et al I've been thinking about this too. Why, oh why do these "people" need to go and torture through sex and other means the most vulnerable?? Thinking about all the super-powerful, who would appear to engage in similar practices much more often than the rest of us are informed - couldn't they just limit their evil deeds to financial or political gains and leave the children and women alone?? But of course I'm just ranting about my frustration and shock and horror, because the answer is no, they couldn't, because it is in their nature to do their worst, and such extreme Dutroux-type scenarios are what turn them on the most, as it is carrying out a fantasy of absolute control and domination in micro-cosmos, with the victim representing Creation. Like you say, they need their "fix".

Also, we can speculate about how hyperdimensional STS beings, who seem to take interest in perverse sexuality (according to accounts), might be literally feasting through their human counterparts when they go on Dutroux rampages.

Many studies have shown temporal lobe damage in sexual sadists.  Of course, they do not have a lot of the high level ones to study.
