A little background:
On December 20th, 2009, Martha Rose Crow, who some of you may be familiar with due to a few articles by her that have been published on sott.net and here in the forum, wrote to me proposing that she and a friend of hers, Judith Vary Baker (who was seeing Lee Harvey Oswald when the JFK assassination occurred), wanted to write: "Ponerology for Dummies." The idea was to take the book and just simply re-write it in plain, everyday English.
I was familiar enough with Martha's writing and Judith's skill with language to think that the two of them would make a good team for this project. I suggested a first chapter before I gave the go ahead and they agreed.
Chapter One arrived in my mailbox on January 10th. It really was good and I was excited by what the ladies were doing with the text. It was, in essence, unchanged, but vastly improved in readability.
From that day, until yesterday, both of them have been devoted to this project and chapter 12 was almost finished (they had divided one chapter into three so there were to be more chapters than the original had).
Yesterday I received the last email from Martha late in the afternoon:
That was at 4:07 CET. I responded with a couple of reassuring lines at 6:42, and it seems that just a short time later, she was dead. I received the following today:
Since I will be speaking at the Nexus Magazine conference in Amsterdam in May, Martha and I planned to meet. We have been corresponding for a long time now and many of the articles on sott were ones that she gleaned in her wide and deep searches of the internet for clues to what was really going on.
There is no doubt in my mind that getting Ponerology for Dummies (that wasn't going to be the real title, it was just our working title) finished and on the net was an important bit of work. It's something that has been needed for a long time. I am hoping that Judyth can finish it up and I can hand it over to an editor. Otherwise, I will finish it myself. The plan was to make it available for free AND publish it for those who wanted hard copy.
Martha, of all people, is undoubtedly fully aware on that other side. I can't do much to honor her life and commemorate her passing except to try to make sure that this project is completed, and that I will do. And part of that includes making it public so that if anything happens to me, someone else will grab the torch and carry it on.

Judyth and I are under harsh attack. Our yahoo email accounts were hacked this weekend (mine longer than hers), her computer got hacked real bad last night (some people came over to help her and stayed up with her all night until it got fixed), she got a terrible death threat (one that not only describes how bloody she will be murdered, but he 'knows' where she lives), one of her big and famous supporters also got a terrible death threat, youtube took a video of her off minutes after it was posted and on and on...
I've got the flu real bad and I'm one of those picky, natural eaters. I've got a headache that won't quit and I don't get them. My leg has been swollen and on and on...
Listen Baby, you need to start putting the armor on!!! Although this Book is all on this side of the grid, we all know that demons are trying to stop this Book!!! Meditate, pray, cleanse your body and Soul, or do whatever you have to do to keep them off you and please warn the M.D. and Harrison. I'm worried about you guys. I AM SURE THE REASON WHY I WAS SENT BACK WAS TO HELP WITH THE BOOK. I guess it takes certain Alchemistic writers (Judyth and I) plus High Spiritual People (we are) to rewrite something as *Special* as Dr. L's *Great Gift* to the World! (That man is a *Saint* to me!!!) The Book is WHY the Cassiopaens came to SEE ME. I'm sure they exist (SMILE) BEcause I talked with them in the Future. I remember them clearly!!! Ask them about me. They'll tell you. *Please, BE EXTRA Careful!!!* ~Martha

Hi everyone,
through this email, I want to tell to all friends and writing partners of Martha Rose Crow,
that she passed away last night 'round 19:00 CET.
I was informed 4 hours later by her friend Ferry.
As far as I know she died of a heart attack.
My deepest condolences to all close ones,
she was my best friend…
The service will be taking place in Alkmaar,
thursday 4th of March.
I only know this so far.
For more details please contact me tomorrow.
I will know more then.
The addresses on this list are some of the ones I got
with the emails she sent me (she wanted me to have a back up of all she wrote)
I hope some one can help me contact the missing ones.
