Steve Jobs was an iconic part of my own adult life. He stood for progress and overcoming almost insurmountable odds fueled by the doubts of the status quo mainstream of society and culture within mainstream business. He was a maverick, out of the box thinker that followed his heart and intuition. He said, “That your heart and intuition already know what you need to become.” He achieved a world changing and game changing prowess not only within the computer industry but in society. He made his company’s products part of our ethos and our belief of what can be. I just watched the movie of his early years. It brought back my own recollection of my own views of his company, products and brand magnetism during my own life. I smiled. He inspired many of us to be ready to change the world and take the brow beating of all those that are not ready and able to be part of the solutions and those not ready to think of what’s next and say why not! Steve Jobs had his share of personal quirks and driven business tactics and he may not have always been the most personable guy, but he was a rule breaker, game changer and inspiration to all maverick leaders and thinkers.

Now Just ask yourself, if Steve Jobs could orchestrate our economic platform for our national economy, what would he focus on and why… no Why not?

I doubt he would see Universal Healthcare as the biggest issue, and not even getting people back to being employed, and no he would not worry about government confidence by the voters. He would look at our potential and begin to build the economy that nobody else can see yet. He wouldn’t worry about the cost to do so, he would understand the reward would far outweigh the costs and risks to achieve, The NEXT America! Jobs I think would focus on creating dynamic change and destroy all the impediments that restrict our achieving it. I think he would see governments role as regulatory, not management and operations. He would see the byzantine tax code as something that inhibits growth and personal innovation, risk and reward and find a better way for government to provide us with our expectations of protecting us, making sure we get treated fairly in our global affairs, and that what we purchase is safe and reliable and that it has the surety of being what we expect when we purchase it, especially in our financial matters of our own personal affairs. He would want capitalism to be more aggressive and not filtered by governmental intervention.

Today, let’s embrace the spirit of Steve Jobs. Let’s look at what we want our country to become, not how can we keep it solvent and just functioning with some false hope of future outcomes based on further false promises of an economic reality that we all have known for decades that does not add up.

Today, it is time for all of us to become those maverick thinkers, those radical leaders of outspoken risk takers and to push our nation to a new level of progress that means we must unbuckle from the shackled chains of oppressive governmental ideals that they know what is best for WE THE PEOPLE. We know what is best it lies in each of our own intuition and hearts. We know we must rise to a new level of challenges and undue the follies of failed economic policies for the past forty years or more. We must unleash the NEXT AMERICA in the 21st century to be something no other nation has yet achieved.

I hope you will join me in this journey to create the necessary external voices that demand positive changes that will lift our entire nation to new unimagined heights. Let’s not forget just how foreign our founding fathers must have felt when they called for a revolution to break away from the King of England and to create a set of inalienable rights for all citizens… that was a game changer and it was definitely not the status quo!

:Fiddler: :loser: :windy:

(1) Steve Jobs actually had a company with products to sell.

(2) Yes, government should regulate. It's a shame the FAA didn't regulate that big bag of noxious gas that flew into EMC 7 yrs ago on his majic carpet.

(3) Methinks that noxious bag of gas needs to occupy a cell next to Bernie Madoff.

Shouldn't we have heard the big announcement from Frank the Bank and his new best bud Chris Brown by now? I'm sure if there was that big bag of wind Holbrook would have beaten them to it. My money's on Freindswood announcing plans for a business park on the West side of Hwy. 59.

Here's the thing about the Army football team: it's reallyreally bad. As far as the score goes, Army has lost to Navy in one of the biggest rivalries in college football for the twelfth consecutive year. But if you look a little more closely, you'll see that there are a few ways Army actually did win the game this past Saturday.

I love this blog article... I support my Cadet and I am super proud of him. Mine is a class of 2017 first year Plebe but he rocks as do all the Cadets at USMA, West Point.

I pray the Lord that he is not like his old man. If he is he will not last long as a freshman 2nd LT. His platoon Sgt. will most likely stick a grenade up his ass to protect the men in the platoon. Or we have the other side of the coin. He will most likely give B**w Jobs to the Generals and get promoted to Major WindBag Jr.

That's rich. What? Is 5 Star General Blowhard trying to make that ragtag band of wussies and the sea of pansies in the stands (including his son) that cheer for them feel better after having their a$$ handed to them for the 12th straight year? The U S Army might have snagged my oldest as a Combat Medic, and maybe they'll ship him to the Academy to help patch up that ragtag band of wussies, but when they offered my youngest an opportunity to play for them at the academy he told me "Dad, there's no way in hell I'd go there and play, they suck big donkey d--cks."

Hey, Don, by the way, my youngest actually earned his invite to get in the Academy (which he turned down), I didn't have to :butt_kisser:some Congressman or State Legislator from Nevada for him to get that opportunity. :RpS_smile:

Don Allen Holbrook, litigious scammer from purgatory, is once again trying to screw his creditors:

6676

6679

6678

6677

This ridiculous case which is on its 8th plan is also getting a new judge. It is high time this scammer get sat on for abusing bankruptcy. His wife still dresses to the nines and they spend like he is successful, yet all the while their creditors have to eat it.

[Soapboxmom]

Holbrook is raking in 10 grand to over 16 grand a month. He has just now filed his monthly operating reports for April - July 2013. How many of his fellow citizens are making such huge amounts monthly and get the privilege of writing off their debts? In his 2007 bankruptcy this clown wrote off almost 2 million dollars in debt with 1.29 million of that legal fees (for his vicious attacks on legitimate critics perhaps.) He and his family still live and dress like royalty. Yet, his creditors are just getting screwed and the taxpayers in Texas are out millions thanks to his dinosaur park debacle that costs millions and leaves $21,000,000.00 in bonds to be satisfied after Holbrook himself stuck a hand in every pie and made out like a bandit.

2nd Edition of The Next America- Being Published by Motivational Press in 2014

Posted by economicdeveloper in The Next America Discussion


The Next America 2nd Edition Announcement 2014


Exciting news everyone… my first edition of the Next America-Moving Beyond a Fragile Economy was released in 2011. I began to network about possible new traditional publishers in late 2013 for a revised 2nd edition to this very popular book. I finally found an awesome Publisher in Motivational Press, and their Publisher/CEO Justin Sachs. Wow what a great crew of people. Motivational Press only produces books in the non-fiction genre and within the particular focus of my books target audience. Those would be people concerned about how to get ahead in these challenging times and those folks that want to advocate and learn about what changes we need to make to rebuild the American Dream today. I signed my publishing contract with them Christmas Eve 2013. I am very excited about this new 2nd Edition of “The Next America-How to Survive and Thrive in Today’s Unpredictable Economy.” I wanted to make all my friends and fans aware of the anticipated release of my latest book in the Spring of 2014.

I hope you all have a Healthy, Prosperous and Happy 2014!

4.) With regard to MOM2mom’s stupidity on admittedly not being a good listener… first of all my 140 page book is a coffee table fact book about the research I conducted on the Knights Templar Order when writing my book, the “9th Templar,” which has not been published yet, because it is a book to film project. So the movie deal is real and the book is not released so get your facts straight lady ( I use that term loosely of course since I doubt true ladies would congregate on REALSCUMS…now that name fits their blog site!)

Apparently, the book to movie deal was another one of Holbrook's wild fantasies as was Earthquest.

“Great list for all us castle aficionados’”


Originally posted on The Templar Knight:

All over Europe and the Middle East, you can still find towns that have retained their medieval walls. It’s hard to imagine now but cities were often contained within imposing fortifications – there was even a massive wall that ran all the way round London from the late Roman empire (as barbarian attacks increased) through to large scale demolition in the eighteenth century.
Many cities burst out from their walls over the last two, three hundred years and then like London – dispensed with this restraint on urban growth. But some have managed to hold on to their walls and it’s a huge pleasure to walk them. Though I should warn you that in certain towns, the walls do not have protective railings – Obidos in Portugal being a case in point.

The most picturesque – though heavily restored – is Carcassone in France, which was home to the Cathar…

What is Our Country Coming To?

17 Thursday Apr 2014
(http://economicdeveloper.com/2014/04/17/what-is-our-country-coming-to/) Posted by economicdeveloper (http://economicdeveloper.com/author/economicdeveloper/) in The Next America Discussion (http://economicdeveloper.com/category/the-next-america-discussion/)



Constitutional Rights, I just learned today mean nothing to some reporting companies in the credit and financial industry.

So, here is my story which has me angry and feeling betrayed even more by our elected leaders.

I went to open an account at Scottrade the online banking and brokerage firm you see advertised all the time. I gave them my money, they opened my account. When I went to purchase some stock for my IRA, I found my order would not go through. So I went to visit my local office. That was an interesting experience. First the associate said now I want you to know we can’t give you financial advice… I smiled, finally I thought Nirvana I can purchase what I want without being subjected to a sales pitch on why somebody else’s opinion of what I should do is best for me. “Perfect” I tell him. Then I get a glimpse of just why perhaps I should pay more at a regular firm. Apparently Scottrade’s representative took that disclaimer to mean, that he doesn’t have to provide me with professional services or be courteous in his demeanor. Wow what an eye opening experience. Ah, but the fun was only getting started.

Next I asked Mr. Congeniality (not his real name) to please advise me as to why my account is restricted? He looks me up in his cheery (being fictitious) manner and says their compliance Department has advised them to restrict my account and recommends closing it and returning my money.

Ok, now I’m totally at a loss for words. I have never been told something like this in my life. He says he cannot tell why this has been recommended and gives me the phone number to call their compliance department.

So today I did that. Oh My Gosh here is what I found out. This compliance department isn’t their firm it’s outsourced to some credit and background company. I spoke with the woman and she confirms my identity. Then she says you are being recommend for decline because you have a corruption charge against you from 2012. Now I’m smoking mad. She reminds me that our call is of course tape recorded. “Good, I want your company to know my thoughts on your innuendo you’re spreading about me.” She is polite but can offer me know resolution. So I tell her I sued the City of Huber Heights in 2012 for breach of their contract and not paying me and my team for our services rendered. They counter claimed for misrepresentation… A typical ploy for anyone that is trying to not pay you. The case was dropped by us both. I decided not to pursue them further because I could not recover my cost of litigation because City’s in Ohio are immune to such costs. Therefore my cost to sue them and prevail would far exceed my fees owed. They also dropped their own claim in my opinion because they could not produce any facts to substantiate their claims. None the less, neither side was rendered a final decision in a court of law.

The woman then tells me that this is the charge they are speaking of. I again was dumbstruck with bewilderment. “Miss surely you and your firm understand that such claims are not factual unless a court renders them so?” She then makes a jaw dropping admission, “Sir we base our opinions on articles in the news and through online news reports.” Again I am extremely frustrated, but I trudge ahead. “Miss, you and your firm need to understand that news report in is just opinion not based on necessarily facts, it is just like making choices on unsubstantiated rumors.” She acknowledges that she understands my frustration, but I doubt she really did, so I choose to enlighten her.

“Miss this is the United States of America, we are a Republic not a lynch mob democracy where opinions or popularity govern our way of deciding what is right and wrong. Our nation is ruled by the rule of laws . One of our inalienable rights is all parties are presumed innocent until deemed otherwise by a verdict in a court of law. Our fore fathers fought to create this system and many of our ancestors and our own family today protect our freedom to these rights. Freedom has been earned in our nation with done mighty supreme sacrifices. Your firm is stomping all over my right to being treated fairly by judging me on false rumors and allegations that were not able to be substantiated, so I have no corruption in my history what so ever,”. She apologizes profusely but that did nothing to stop this tranny. I suddenly understand the bigger problem… Our government has somehow allowed this discrimination to be utilized and so it is. Our government is now slowly dismantling our own inalienable rights given to us through our constitution. This is how far our elected leaders have allowed our rights to be diminished.

We must all stand up and just say “Enough of this!” We must begin to strongly advocate for the transformation of our government back to being of the people, by the people and for the people!

If we all continue to think that all of this is someone else’s problem, then you will soon wake up to realize that America is no longer the land of the free and not the home of enough brace folks to hold our elected leaders accountable for the deplorable lack of acting to protect our rights and you will no longer have such freedoms. You will have quietly allowed them to have been eroded by our own apathy and fear of advocating for what is right . As I say in my book, The Next America, “you are either part of the problem or part of the solution.” If we continue to be too busy to protect our freedoms and rights we will soon regret our decision to do nothing. I hope you speak up, may God help us if we allow this to continue and destroy our great nation from within, just as Lenin predicted.
God Bless America… I will not be silent when I see her under assault by our own elected leaders selling us out! Please join me and others who feel the same way.

Holbrook probably had the case against him dropped because he was in bankruptcy and the city didn't want to continue to chase an uncollectable pauper. All his years of economic development where he was accused of resume fraud and questionable spending, and him responding with nasty legal threats and lawsuits are going to haunt him forever. There is good reason he was fired from 2 positions and not renewed for a third. Earthquest being perpetually stalled when he had a hand in every pie and consulted everyone and their dog while his LLCs raked in a cool 1.2 million isn't helping his reputation either.

Holbrook made his own bed and he is now mad because he is paying a steep price for his antics. So much for silencing free speech and publication of public records. I can't imagine why anyone would do business with someone with his track record. I think we will be enjoying many more such sob stories from our rotund buffoon!

What about the rights of the people who simply don't want to do business with persons they consider arrogant or sleazy, or untrustworthy or overly litigious or just downright nasty bastards or, plainly and simply don't want the hassle OR the business ??

Don't they have rights too ??

All of this was started by the cyber vigilante and cyber stalker called Soapboxmom, who goes around attacking folks based on her own narrow minded opinions and unsubstantiated claims using the false basis of being allowed to do so under her own misguided perception of our freedom of speech rights. She is unethical in her claims and a ruthless mean and malicious vile person that uses the internet to attack people and attempt to ruin their reputation for her own personification. She began all these rumors and it is her own fault that such despicable acts are being tolerated due to our own apathy in protecting our rights as American citizens. Her actions are making a mockery of our rights as well, until at such time as our elected officials create some laws to address such cyber stalkers, but that time is fast approaching.

Arrogant, sleazy, untrustworthy, overly litigious and just downright nasty ******* he is! Amen! He should think twice before threatening folks and definitely before filing lawsuits. He bit off a whole lot more than he could chew! And, for heaven's sake he looks like a heaping pile of dung making all kinds of accusations about false information when he has never identified and refuted any such thing. Numerous journalists and bloggers over the years have published stories on Holbrook and he hasn't responded to a one of us with any real facts that I can recall. If there was a world meltdown king event he would walk away with the grand prize!:loser:

Truly I believe you are describing yourself in your comments although being stupid, overly disturbed and pious is not a crime as of yet.

You insist on commenting on my life without any credible basis for your attacks. Your name calling just demonstrates to folks how stupid you are. Plus hiding behind your computer in cyber space like a detergent queen I know also shows your own cowardice.

I love how you say l have refused to validate my comments with journalists and reporters. I don't categorize your cited instances of written commentary into falling under any form of professional journalism.

Where do you get your facts about me being a criminal, who has made a valid and factual case for that having any validity?

I believe your reference and dependence is on one whacko self absorbed cyber bully and vigilante in Garland Texas. She is not a credible source of any information. As I have stated prior in my opinion she is mentally challenged and short a good many marbles in her own smallish brain.

If that is your source of credible reference then you are just as deranged as she is.

Truth always overcomes ignorance and malice always is over powered by just means by Paladins that do not allow creatures such as you to dissuade them.

In truth it is you and your cronies that people believe are the ignorant and malicious folks that act with a total lack of decorum and professionalism.

Good day butt head. I'm so glad the world has so few people like you in it.

Don Holbrook needs to remove the Phd. and FM designations from any promotional materials. I have already admonished him for this, but the dishonest dirtbag has yet to clean his pages up.

Fellow Member Designation (FM)



Fellow Member (FM) status is conferred upon active IEDC members who have attained unusual stature in the field of economic development and closely related disciplines. Unusual stature is defined as significant contributions to the profession through service to the Council and/or academic endeavors directly related to the practice of economic development. A Fellow holds the classification as long as membership in the Council is maintained.

I notice Holbrook is not a speaker for this year's conferences. I guess there was no session on how to deal with failed and stalled projects by turning into a litigious, loudmouthed lunatic. And, while we are on that subject, I guess the IEDC better threaten suit against Holbrook for using their designations. My bet is he was forced out of the IEDC due to his egregious attacks and lawsuit against taxpayers discussing his stalled and fictitious projects. Will anyone still associated with EarthQuest allow that goon to get involved in the project again in any capacity after his sickening displays of aberrant behavior? What a huge embarrassment he is!

[fjjm303]

Ray

I am shocked honestly that a person with your background cannot understand the circumstances you have been attacking me over.

I do not believe you have really thought about your accusations. Anyone who has served our country I honor for their service. So rather than continue to escalate this I will address it and see if we can agree to an honorable de-escalation.

First, I do not appreciate being called a criminal. You should know that is not true. I have never done anything dishonest in my dealings as a consultant. My fees, which are clearly laid out ahead of time in contracts, which are signed my all parties involved and further approved at public hearings are declared before anyone, makes the choice to hire me for my services . Projects such as EarthQuest take years of work to complete. I began work on this project in 2004. My job was to find the best place in the Southern USA for a new theme park. I reviewed and met with 22 states and recommended Texas, that took 2 years of my full time work. Next I had to decide between 16 competing locations in Texas for the final site for this project. Another 1.5 years of full time work. I recommended the Houston market to the developer. Then I had to work with EMCID and the state of Texas to create a economic development tool that would appease the financial industry, which I did. At that point my work is done. Yes, then I was paid per my contract for my nearly 4.5 years of full time work.

Then the developer ran into the global financial crisis and could not raise the funds to continue. EMCID came back to me for input, which I charge for just as when you go to work. I recommended Contour convert to becoming the developer because they had tremendous experience in that industry.

I was never hired to raise any money, I have never been the developer of this project, and I have no equity or ownership interest in the project.

So by EMCID's own letters of acknowledgement and gratitude I did my job and earned all my fees as per my contracts.

There not one once of deceit in that work or my fee charges, or they wouldn't have freely paid them.

As for other things I've done- I have been on the SBA board for CA, NV and Az since 2006. I was on the small business loan committee and we approved over 2.5B in loans during my time on the loan committee and those loans assisted in those businesses creating over 50,000 jobs here in America. Those are all documented via the government. Each year I have to pass a full background check to be on that board.

Yes, I like many others got hurt when many of my clients (mostly developers) failed to pay their bills during 2008-2011, due to the global financial crisis. So when my clients all suffered I had to restructure through a BK reorganization to pay my own creditors based on my now diminished income.

I have never cheated on my BK reorganization and I reported my income and expenditures monthly to a US Federal BK Trustee, and still do.

So comments about me being dishonest or cheating or being a criminal of course piss me off. I like many others have had to change many things in my life so that my family faced as little disruption of their own world as possible.

So, yes I take offense to such attacks because it is simply not true and it harms me further for things I am not responsible for, but get blamed for by people such as Heather Dobrott.

My position on disclosing private matters further than this to reporters and others is simple. The law does not require such disclosure because it is nobody's business but my own. That is how it will stay. My clients always request references and I always supply them with several on each assignment.

My family has to tolerate enough already with uninformed people making malicious attacks on me for things they don't truly understand. That is part of doing business with the public sector. I provide 100% of what they and the law require for disclosure. I will never cater to the media because they twist stories to sensationalize them to sell advertising for their own economic gain.

Now, I have taken a good bit of time and explained all this to you, because after you disclosed your background I am assuming you can better understand my position in all these negative comments. Simply put they not even close to be correct and/or factual.

I hope this allows you to understand my position in these matters and we can cease these silly tirades via email.

Sincerely,

Don A. Holbrook

So, that explains why Holbrook has threatened and filed numerous lawsuits over the years against taxpayers, journalists and bloggers who posted facts and shared their opinions? His own words over many years show what a pompous a$$ he is. Holbrook has yet to present verifiable documentation to refute the things published about him and his so-called projects.


First, I do not appreciate being called a criminal. You should know that is not true. I have never done anything dishonest in my dealings as a consultant. My fees, which are clearly laid out ahead of time in contracts, which are signed my all parties involved and further approved at public hearings are declared before anyone, makes the choice to hire me for my services .
Holbrook and his partner orchestrated the world tours costing tens of thousands on the taxpayers dime. They enjoyed the thousands of dollars spent on ridiculous extravagances such Houston Rockets tickets, country club outings, wining and dining at very exclusive spots across the country. Holbrook really enjoyed the Chez Nous crew lifestyle. Perhaps, this factual news account (http://www.ourtribune.com/article.php?id=13452) (one of Holbrook's frivolous, harassment suit victims wrote) will refresh his memory. Those trips did wonders for Mr. Rotund's figure no doubt!


Projects such as EarthQuest take years of work to complete. I began work on this project in 2004. My job was to find the best place in the Southern USA for a new theme park. I reviewed and met with 22 states and recommended Texas, that took 2 years of my full time work. Next I had to decide between 16 competing locations in Texas for the final site for this project.

Then I had to work with EMCID and the state of Texas to create a economic development tool that would appease the financial industry, which I did. At that point my work is done. Yes, then I was paid per my contract for my nearly 4.5 years of full time work.
Holbrook accomplished the job of finding the dumbest hick who would happily let him and his friends empty the vault. EMCID was picked because they were stupid enough to throw millions at this project without doing any due diligence whatsover. Boy did EMCID win the prize! Sadly, the folks that believed the ground breaking dates and fictitious opening dates lost their life savings in hotels, RV parks and other businesses that folded when the park never came.

Then the developer ran into the global financial crisis and could not raise the funds to continue. EMCID came back to me for input, which I charge for just as when you go to work. I recommended Contour convert to becoming the developer because they had tremendous experience in that industry.

The original developers were a bunch of idiots and anyone who bothered to check would know they had done nothing but a very few cheap tract house developments. They totally mismanaged one project and it landed in bankruptcy (http://www.dallasobserver.com/2009-03-19/news/dallas-wants-to-be-a-green-city-so-why-not-save-some-trees/) with angry homeowners left to deal with the fallout. Not to mention their invovlement in the cancer curing water scam that was sued by the Texas board of Regents and MD Anderson Cancer Center.

I was never hired to raise any money, I have never been the developer of this project, and I have no equity or ownership interest in the project.

EAST MONTGOMERY COUNTY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT / Directors approve contracts / Contract OK'd for theme park consultant
SUZANNE WEST, Houston Chronicle Correspondent
Thu 11/29/2007 Houston Chronicle, Section ThisWeek, Page 6, 2 STAR Edition

East Montgomery County Improvement District directors approved contracts for services to the district.
These ranged from site surveying to retaining consulting services in connection with the Earth Quest theme park project at a special directors meeting Nov. 7.
The directors will retain Don Holbrook and the Vercitas Group for consulting services in connection with the for-profit theme park portion of the Earth Quest project.
Under the terms of the $25,000 contract, Holbrook will provide the district with outside consulting services connected with securing financing and investors, said Frank McCrady, EMCID president and CEO.
"We want to make sure he stays with the project and makes the presentations," said McCrady.
Holbrook has already been working with the project's promoters, founders and the district and was actively involved in the process that selected the site of the Earth Quest venture.
The district has five potential financing sources for the for-profit portion of the project, he said.
Directors also approved two contracts related to the district's office building and campus.



So by EMCID's own letters of acknowledgement and gratitude I did my job and earned all my fees as per my contracts.

There not one once of deceit in that work or my fee charges, or they wouldn't have freely paid them.
$185.00 an hour to work for a charity is outrageous and the same clowns on the for profit project agreed to that whilst full of the finest from Chez Nous no doubt. And, to use a charity to publicize a for profit venture is totally unethical. That is not a legitimate charitable purpose.


As for other things I've done- I have been on the SBA board for CA, NV and Az since 2006. I was on the small business loan committee and we approved over 2.5B in loans during my time on the loan committee and those loans assisted in those businesses creating over 50,000 jobs here in America. Those are all documented via the government. Each year I have to pass a full background check to be on that board.

Don A. Holbrook, Certified Economic Developer, (CEcD) Don Holbrook is a private practitioner involved in the major elements of site location analysis for major private sector investment projects. He specializes in public backed inducements and incentives that reduce the risk of new business investments. He has worked on over 100 projects representing over 1 billion dollars in public capital investment generating more than 50,000 jobs in his 17 years in the profession.
So, now we know where he got that fictitious figure of 50,000 jobs. It was not his prowess or even work as an economic developer, but his seat on a loan committee from which he got that. Anyone could warm that same loan committee chair. Again, he has been misrepresenting himself and his accomplishments for years.


Yes, I like many others got hurt when many of my clients (mostly developers) failed to pay their bills during 2008-2011, due to the global financial crisis. So when my clients all suffered I had to restructure through a BK reorganization to pay my own creditors based on my now diminished income.

I have never cheated on my BK reorganization and I reported my income and expenditures monthly to a US Federal BK Trustee, and still do.

So comments about me being dishonest or cheating or being a criminal of course piss me off. I like many others have had to change many things in my life so that my family faced as little disruption of their own world as possible.

So, yes I take offense to such attacks because it is simply not true and it harms me further for things I am not responsible for, but get blamed for by people such as Heather Dobrott.

Funny, but I hear he is traveling, out dining and wifey is still dressing to the nines even though he is supposedly too poor to pay your creditors. How many others in bankruptcy are living the lifestyle of the rich and famous as the Holbrook family has been?

My position on disclosing private matters further than this to reporters and others is simple. The law does not require such disclosure because it is nobody's business but my own. That is how it will stay. My clients always request references and I always supply them with several on each assignment.
When one is sucking on the government tit, so to speak the taxpayers throwing their money at you have a right to expect full disclosure. The charity papers Holbrook, Frank McCrady and Dr, Gardner are still hiding are a case in point. You are legally bound to make those publicly available.

My family has to tolerate enough already with uninformed people making malicious attacks on me for things they don't truly understand. That is part of doing business with the public sector. I provide 100% of what they and the law require for disclosure. I will never cater to the media because they twist stories to sensationalize them to sell advertising for their own economic gain.
I have quoted mainstream newspaper articles from across the country, Holbrook's own babblings, public records, numerous court filings etc. How does that constitute being uninformed?


Now, I have taken a good bit of time and explained all this to you, because after you disclosed your background I am assuming you can better understand my position in all these negative comments. Simply put they not even close to be correct and/or factual.

I hope this allows you to understand my position in these matters and we can cease these silly tirades via email.

Sincerely,

Don A. Holbrook
If there is any false statement of fact, then Holbrook should be able to identify said statement(s) and refute such with some verifiable documentation. He has never done so.

I have not been affiliated with their charity since 2010 and I do not have any records of theirs. With regard to Soapboxmom (Heather Dobrott)... She is completely off base on her allegations regarding me. Her understanding of a nearly billion dollar Develoment aren't reality based either. Those type deals go through years of due diligence before they get built . She really just has no idea how this stuff works.




I don't provide her with any information because she would just twist it to her own malicious intent and create some sensationalized story based on her beliefs not facts.




The facts are simple when EMCID agrees to the final development agreement they are 100% paid back by the developer for their due diligence and bond costs. That was agreed to up front when I was involved. The nonprofit is also supposed to begin receiving monies from the projects once it's open and operational. I negotiated that when I was there and involved, so as long as the nonprofit and EMCID don't change or modify those agreements, my understanding is that will still happen.




Sincerely




Don

Soooooo.......Ga$$bag is'nt involved in the charity aspect of this project anymore. Gee, I wonder why? Could it be the fact the till (err, the pie-plate, is dry?)

Hilarious! Finally Holbrook's true calling. And, the contact is none other than his bitch of an attorney that sued half of the planet and was laughed out of court for lack of jurisdiction (which we predicted would happened before she even filed her harassment suit.) Seeberger would be great as his puppet. Obviously, she let him put all sorts of words in her mouth judging from her truly embarrassing filings.

If I were 22 again what I would like to have known


Posted by economicdeveloper in Keynote Speaker, You, Inc.


#IfIwere22

I would tell our graduating class the following;

1.) Don’t be in a hurry to start work… you still need a graduate degree and maybe a doctorate to really stand out in the professional work. And that is just to get you in the room… then your work ethics and other dynamic attributes will create some cool opportunities for yourself.

2.) Don’t shoot short of your dream but also don’t procrastinate on what changes you need to make to your own self realistically to achieve what you want out of life… you are your own worst enemy… so be realistic and accountable to yourself.

3.) Be kind, humble, non-judemental and focused on being a great person with the greatest expectations of your own performance and don’t worry about the others, you are competing against you and your own goals, milestones and desired outcomes.

4.) Life is about learning to live in spite of what is going on around you… none of us know how much time we have on this planet, so live life to the fullest and not in the someday mode. Find ways around obstacles, find inner strength to achieve what others do not believe you can and find time to enjoy the journey, the destination is not what is important… we all end up dead and all our attained goals matter for nothing when that day comes… life is about collecting awesome memories with those we love and doing things that inspire and engage us in our passions.

5.) Don’t live to work, you will discover that work is what we exchange to make the time and resources for the things that matter most in life; Meaningful time with Family & Friends, having fun, Relaxing and not being stressed about life and work, going on adventures to explore places we really want to experience and finally having time to be in love and enjoy romance.

These are the lessons that time teaches those of us that eventually find our balance in life and become satisfied with our choices we have made in our life. Remember you are where you end up by your own choices you made, so be accountable to yourself first and foremost to make great life choices that are in your own best interest. That is the wisdom of living a high quality life. One word of warning, YES I know you are special, but you are probably not an anomaly, so you will make mistakes… just learn from them and don’t let them sidetrack you or shut you down. Get up and adapt and innovate until you find what works, never quit trying to succeed, because if you do, then you will truly have failed to have lived.

Cheers and Good Luck in your Endeavors… everyone deserves an awesome life but very few find this wisdom until something dramatic or devastating happens to them. I hope you find it without such stressful situations.

Press Announcement, New York, NY

Radio Interview of Don A. Holbrook, Economic Development Economist and Author by Syndicated CBS Radio talk show host Al Cole on his show, “People of Distinction” is scheduled for June 11, 2014 at 5:30 PM EST.

Holbrook will discuss his newest book, “The Next America-Thriving and Surviving in an Unpredictable Economy”

Key topics will be the coming next economic chaos and how the American People can prepare for it and then rebuild our economy into a sustainable and fiscally sound economy that does not sacrifice our core founding father values of capitalism. The discussion is candid talk about political reform that is needed and necessary and how and why we must make drastic economic reforms including abolishing the IRS and the current tax code in order to provide the greatest economic development stimulus in the USA. Holbrook advocates that such action is necessary drastically before draconian actions will be necessary by our government if we stay on the current course of denial and lack of fiscal accountability.

Motivational & Keynote Event Speaker - Don Allen Holbrook, LLC - Las Vegas, NV (http://www.thumbtack.com/nv/las-vegas/motivational-speaker/motivational-keynote-event-speaker)


Question and answer



Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. Site Location evaluation for new facilities, economic incentive negotiations and project feasibility in specific locales .

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Hire me I'm the recognized thought leader in this field of work and I get paid only when my clients are successful.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. All cities, states, provinces and local governments provide economic assistance to legitimate business opportunities. These economic incentives generally can amount to approximately 15% to 25% of the total project cost.

The art of negotiating such deals is not something someone with no pedigree in this industry should try to undertake. The economic development field is a professional practitioner based society and thus very receptive to their own cadre in such negotiations . I am a former international board member, published author and highly recognized subject matter expert in this field of work.

Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

A. You need to be serious about your pursuit of the project and have the financial capacity to do all elements of deal due diligence not just pay my upfront feasibility fee. While most of my work is performance based it is not contingent upon your own ability to raise funds. My work enhances your financing to increase your ROI and reduce upfront financial risks. All projects have various other elements of due diligence that involve other professionals that will most likely require payment for their services upon completion of their own tasks, as do I.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. Exceptional performance based consultant with proven results that matter to my clients.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. The finalization of the project and watching a project come to fruition.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. How are you compensated?

1.) initial fee for project feasibility generally 1 day of work with recommendation of potential financial value and feasibility of gaining approval of business capitalization economic incentives. Fee is generally $1500-$2500 depending on the complexity of the project.

2. Paid 5% of the economic incentive value upon approval by appropriate jurisdictional party. 50% upon acceptance and 50% at first funding escrow.

3.) speaking fee for events is $3500 which includes travel to the event from Las Vegas and within the continental USA. International travel is paid by the client. Clients are responsible for lodging, meals and local transportation in all cases domestic and/or international.

Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?

A. I negotiated a $520M incentive package for a client opening a new project in Texas commencing in 2014. One of the largest economic incentive packages in Texas and USA.

Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

A. It is a closed society of highly educated professionals.

Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?

A. Started at a young age after graduation on the public sector side negotiating and deciding on public economic Inventives for the local governments.

Q. Tell us about a recent job you did that you are particularly proud of.

A. Certified Economic Developer and Master Business Consultant.

Q. Describe your most recent project, what it involved, how much it cost, and how long it took.

A. Earthquest is a $1B investment in Texas with total job impact of 20,000 from all tiers of economic impact.

Q. If you were advising someone who wanted to get into your profession, what would you suggest?

A. It's very difficult unless you have done time and gained experience from both sides of the negotiating table.

Q. What is your greatest strength?

A. Dynamic and visionary deal structurer with a tenacity of getting greater economic value for my clients than they had thought possible. I generally exceed my clients performance expectations!

Q. What are you currently working on improving?

A. Marketing my services to more private sector business owners and executive management teams.
That site invites comments, so feel free to speak your mind. Mine was quite snarky and it is still up.

However, I wanted to capture Holbrook's lie-filled Q & A. 5% of millions of dollars for a large project to this goon? Who would agree to highway robbery like that?

Holbrook is proud of a project that is all pictures and hot air out of his lying mouth and lard butt??? Hasn't it occurred to him someone might check out this load of bull?

Hello, Donny. They asked how long Earthquest took and you responded as if the 1 billion dollar project actually existed and had created jobs. This is totally dishonest. We have no reason at the present time to think Earthquest will ever come to fruition.

7 Biggest Mistakes made by New Authors in Publishing a Book

by Don Allen Holbrook



#1 Hurrying to Publish with too much focus Fame

Make sure your book is your best work… don’t be in a hurry just to get published. Do the basics very well, developmental edit, reader reviews, 2nd draft edit, polish edit, interior layout and cover design. The more professional the better the book will be received and sell.



#2 Buying too many services advertised to Authors

There are a whole host of services on the Internet available to help you publish and market your book… most of them are not cost-effective. Check real references such as other authors that have used them and make sure you spend your money wisely or else you will spend a bunch with not much to show for your investment.



#3 Opting to choose the cheapest route… versus the best route

If you don’t invest in your book, why would anyone else invest their own money in it? Make it your best effort and the lowest bid is not always the best choice. Then again neither is the most expensive either. VETT your choices and check references. Many services simply are not worth the investment. I recommend following a plan to address first the writing of the book, then the publishing and last but not least the publicity and marketing of your book. All publishers now expect their authors to shoulder much of the focus on social media, book signings and readings and marketing.



#4 Waiting to be found and Not Being Proactive

If you are waiting to be discovered, that might be the longest wait you ever undertake. You have to seek out agents and publishers. You need to invest in a great pitch letter, a good synopsis and sample chapter to send to prospective agents and publishers. Using LinkedIn to find publishers and literary agents is a great tool. You can also use services and experts to help you match up with the best agent for your needs and that fits your genre and style.

#5 Not owning your ISBN and LCN independently

Always protect your work with these services and own the ISBN and the LCN yourself. Many self-publishing services will provide you the ISBN but then you are stuck with them as your publisher and can’t utilize all the venues for marketing and selling your book. Being an Author requires you think like YOU, INC. You are in charge of making deals to promote and sell your book and you want to be on as many services as possible and platforms. Examples, Baker & Taylor, Ingram, Barnes & Noble, NOOK, Amazon, Kindle, Apple Itunes and Ibook.

#6 Self-Agent or Self-Representation

As much as it is a pain in the butt, you need to make the effort to actually find a literary agent that believes in your work… if you can’t find one then you have no choice but to self-represent. But giving up after only 10, 20, 40, 50 or even 100 rejections should not be when. Persevere. Getting traditionally published without an agent is a one in a million chance. It’s not very likely to happen in other words. Self-publishers have extremely difficult time getting their books into bookstores and getting noticed at all.



#7 Write a Great Story

You should worry more about the content than the sales of your book. Don’t allow your story to suffer for your own self-absorbed vision of becoming a highly acclaimed famous New York Times best selling author. To be such you must learn to be a great writer first and then develop a great story. That always has to come first or the fame and fortune will never appear. Invest in the fabric and meat of your story being produced professionally. Don’t skimp on the edits and use the entire editing process. Start with a couple of proof reads for reader input, then do at least two development edits using a professional. Next move to the polish edit to make sure the grammar is correct. Then an interior layout edit. Last invest in a professional cover. Now you have a professional commercially viable product… so you are at least worthy of entering the contest.

Is Donny suggesting he got 100 rejections??? That is the first thing he has said in ages that we would actually give some credence to!

Commencing the edits on my new cyber stalker murder mystery thriller next month... Should be a fun project
Details (https://twitter.com/9thTemplar/status/492915141617258496)

Holbrook bragged previously:

Meanwhile, I have been working on two other fiction novels that also have been of great interest to me. One is based on an actual sad event of my own life, I became the target of a cyber stalker in 2012 and it was awful and devastating to me, my family and did hurt my career and reputation wrongfully and without any basis of merit or fact. This caused me a tremendous economic strain as she created so much defamatory commentary online it caused me of my clients to be apprehensive of hiring me in fear that she would target them as she had some of my current clients at that time. Rather than just take the abuse and let her get away with it, I decided to write my own fiction story about the situation and turn it into a murder mystery thriller. That book currently with a rough working title of “SoapboxMomma the Cyber Stalker” is now undergoing edits and will be slated as my second book release in the fiction genre. This book is somewhat shorter than the 9th Templar and thus much easier to turn into a screen play. That is my intention for this book as well. Why not take a bad situation and make lemons into lemonade.


NRS 200.575  Stalking: Definitions; penalties. 1.  A person who, without lawful authority, willfully or maliciously engages in a course of conduct that would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated, harassed or fearful for the immediate safety of a family or household member, and that actually causes the victim to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated, harassed or fearful for the immediate safety of a family or household member, commits the crime of stalking.

(3) The activities of a person that are carried out in the normal course of his or her lawful employment.
(4) Any activities carried out in the exercise of the constitutionally protected rights of freedom of speech and assembly.



Holbrook better be careful on this one. I don't think he can afford any more lawsuits! If had ever made a false statement of fact or actually cyberstalked this loser he would have already gotten me into court and triumphed. What is he going to claim that he is afraid of? Does he live in terror he will never get his fat snout in a public (tax dollar filled) trough?

Customer Reviews for Next America 2nd Edition


31Thursday Jul 2014

Posted by economicdeveloper in The Next America Discussion

I am asking all of you as friends to help me raise the recognition of my book for me and my publisher on Amazon. The way we accomplish this is to generate customer reviews on the books web page. If I can get it up over 100 reviews it will boost my search engine optimization. Please take a minute and go to this link and click on customer reviews and just enter a few kind remarks and give it a star rating. I will deeply appreciate all of your effort in making my book climb up the Amazon rankings… without your help this will be much more difficult. Let’s use the power of our social media to help each other. Thank yo in advance for helping me. Here is the link.

[Whip]

lol. what a douche begging for reviews for his crap.

[Soapboxmom]

lol. what a douche begging for reviews for his crap.

Well, I am a prolific Holbrook reviewer. Let's all give him a bunch more reviews!

[Whip]

Oh, I intend to. What's funny is he couldn't even get 100 friends (that he doesn't have) to even buy his book. That's what friends do for each other right? I know my friends would to help me out. So they won't buy it but they'll somehow review it for him? I'm sure he's alienated everyone he's ever come in contact with. It's all laughable.

Be sure to report the existing non purchase reviews as shill reviews begged for by the scammer. All 5 of them. lmao!

[Soapboxmom]

Another glowing recommendation for the litigious goon:

Gotta love blimp-base's play on words in his letter to Ray. So, He's gone from "creating" over 50,000 jobs to "ASSisting (emphasis on the ass) in the creation of over 50,000 jobs by being on a board that approves small business loans". That's like driving down the road and claiming to create a job by throwing your trash out the window. Someones got to clean it up, right?

Speaking of trash, perhaps Wind Bag is looking in all the wrong places for a review on his book. He should contact the United Refuse Workers of America. Maybe a few of their members have accidently stumbled on a copy whilst rummaging during their daily routine and read a sentence ......or two. Oh, what the hell am I talking about....if that happened......they'd throw it right back where it belonged.:duh:

Holbrook's not watching the decline of the greatest nation on earth, he's been a part of it for most of his career. What? WE The People Want YOU. Who's he trying to be? Uncle Sam?,,,,more like Uncle SCAM if you ask me. I'll just file that one in his ever growing list of nicknames, right in front of his given Indian name, WindBag.

Show Me the Money
Aug22 by economicdeveloper /Don Allen Holbrook

Every business deal that is being contemplated usually makes a few costly assumptions or leaves money on the table.

If you or your company are considering expanding and investing in new facilities and hiring folks to work, then there are some awesome resources available to you .

These site location decisions can be handled by a veteran site location consultant such as myself and garner a much greater ROI on your investment.

Here is the best part. Most of the risk for hiring and paying for this negotiation are only paid, if I’m successful.

This is just like the movie… Allow me to give you opinion on your options . If you like the opinion, then you can pay the performance success fee once we have negotiated and secured the monetary public incentives package. This money found for you usually can amount to a range of 40% to 20% of your total investment. Not a bad ROI now on your use of funds.

Any project whether an expansion or relocation is eligible for this type of monetary partnership with the various governmental agencies .

If you’re interested in a preliminary discussion just drop me an email at EconomicDeveloper@gmail.com

Nothing ventured nothing gained, so let me Show You the Money!

Don Allen Holbrook got 1.2 million of various Earthquest pies and look at the result. He is out there trying to collect millions more from unsuspecting taxpayers (governmental agencies) for projects that will likely never happen. He says, "Here is the best part. Most of the risk for hiring and paying for this negotiation are only paid, if I’m successful." Brilliant! Texas taxpayers, demand a refund from Holbrook, the dubious consultant! What legitimate business and governmental agency would ever get tangled up with this dubious and exceedingly dishonest consultant???

Finally, Gasbag comes out with the truth in his first sentence in the garbage he posted. Yes, I'd say EarthQuest was a mighty costly assumption for the taxpayers of EMC, and yes, Froggy and his gang of imbiciles left a sackfull of their cash on the round table for Sir Talks-a-Lot, but what table did he leave it on? The black-jack table at the Bellagio? The Luxor? Ceasar's Palace?

Congratulations, Lard-A$$, Your biggest legacy is the worst mistake in the history of East Montgomery County, Texas........

Have you ever considered that before 1913 the United States got along just fine as a national power without having to tax all of her citizens on their wages and earnings? The fact is that our current IRS enforced income system is not only out of date and punitive towards those that want to invest and grow our economy, but also inefficient. The current tax code has not demonstrated the ability to pay for our current cost of governance, yet we remain stuck with it. What sense does this make? It remains in service even though it has failed to produce the revenue to keep our nation out of an untenable irresponsible financial long-term debt obligation that is able for us to cash flow from our revenue sources (taxes, fees, etc.)

We have heard the old saying, if you continue to do the same thing over and over again but expect a different result, then you are insane. You have to change your behavior if you want a different result. The same should hold true with our tax code and the overly zealous and unaccountable bullies that enforce it at the IRS.

The current income tax system is not capable of creating a realistic and fair method to tax those that participate in our economy that will pay our government obligations in the short-term or the long-term. It is time to reinvent our tax code to produce the revenue that will provide all American’s with a financially sound future and not burden us with so much of our money going to pay taxes versus being invested to grow our economy.

If you would like to find out more about how this is all possible and why it should be our single largest economic development initiative for the 21st Century then read my latest book, “the Next America- How to Thrive and Survive in an Unpredictable Economy, 2nd Edition, by Motivational Press.”

All of us need to play a role in redesigning our government’s accountability to produce the economic environment that is best for our nation and not sell out our capitalistic nature as a nation. I believe each of us is either part of the problem or part of the solution. It is time for each of us to act individually and see collective results for our becoming agents of positive change within our nation to rebuild the American Dream before it is too late.

Perhaps this means he will be paying back all the taxpayers he stole from?:RpS_wink: Funny thing about these clowns is it always seems the other guy's plate is the one with too much bacon. When the truth comes out, they almost always have their hand in the cookie jar, or are deadbeats living on the good graces of others.

The taxpayers of EMC got absolutely nothing from scuzzbucket and paid out the wazoo plenty. That dirtbag didn't even have the common decency to offer up a jar of Vasilene before bending them over.

I'm wondering what's up with the document-shredding comment by one of the posters on the other site. Could Frank the Bank and Sir Talks-a Lot have starred in the sequel to The Devil's Advocate? Hmmmmm....:RpS_confused:

Economic Development Incentives 101- Case Study on their Use and Approval Process.

Every business needs to understand when to use experts on financially getting them the best deal. Using a performance based consultant like myself can greatly enhance your access to capital and the return on investment you receive from your investments. I also look for ways to reduce your cost of capital by leveraging economic development incentives to reduce your front end risk and your cost of capitalization.

The Slippery Slope of the Economic Development Profession… the Impact of Economic Incentives
Slippery Slope of Economic Development


Originally Posted as: I Worry About the Image of the Economic Development Profession

I have been talking with a number of economic development professionals across the country, so I know I am not alone in my concern. Two issues that have real potential to damage the image of the economic development profession – 1) Incentive packages are getting larger and 2) company attraction tactics are getting more aggressive.

The deal between Tesla and Nevada is a recent example of the magnitude incentive packages are reaching to close deals. The public sector is investing $1.2 billion to bring an estimated 6,500 jobs to Storey County (population 3,935 in 2012). The Reno Gazette-Journal published a good article detailing the specifics of the deal. As thorough as the article is, it fails to talk about the additional investments taxpayers in Storey County and the state will need to make to accommodate the facility and the increased population associated with it. The lives of current residents will be forever changed in the name of economic progress. So what is the true public cost of this deal? And what if Tesla ends up being a business failure? After all, it is not like established auto manufacturers aren’t entering the market (e.g. BMW i3). Is this ultimately a good deal? I don’t have the answer, but the residents of Storey County better hope it is and better hope Tesla is successful. And, as a profession we need to hope Tesla is successful otherwise we will collectively look like trading cash for magic beans is good economic development. At a minimum, economic development leaders in Storey County will need a disaster plan to handle the downside risk of a Tesla market failure.

On the second point, the tactics being used in Texas to “poach” companies from other states is concerning. I appreciate Texas has a historical appreciation for rustling. But, in Texas rustling used to be a crime and rustlers were hung from the nearest high tree branch for perpetrating it. Now the state is getting predatory in its company attraction efforts denigrating other states in the process. I don’t have any personal problem with aggressive competition, but I do have a concern when it involves bad mouthing the competition in order to make your state business climate appear better than it may actually be. I worry about the ethics of that approach and the potential negative impact it can have on the economic development profession. Getting ahead by bad mouthing the competition doesn’t sit well with my personal principles. Nor, do I believe should it with our collective professional principles.

In my recent blog post “Are Deal Incentives Killing The Economic Development Profession?”, I attempt to shine a light on how the above practices may be having a negative impact on the economic development profession image. I am genuinely concerned that if www continue on the current path the profession will pay a price. I believe it will be increasingly hard to encourage the best and brightest to enter and/or stay in economic development. Given the importance of the profession to our national economic prosperity, this should be a topic of interest to everybody involved.

I don’t profess to have answers. But I am trying to highlight some of the right questions. It is a debate I encourage you to enter and share your thinking/experience. To be clear, in no way am I trying to make the case that incentives or aggressive competition will (or should) go away. I am suggesting though that there is an accountability to better enabling our residents to achieve their American Dream that needs to be considered in deal making and a set of ethics that should guide competition practice.

My response to this article was as follows:

I think the economic development industry has been at-risk for the past decade or so, but for some very different reasons. The impact of what Ed has mentioned here is part of the outcomes of a far more dangerous problem that is underlying the entire industry. Economic Development has become far more dependent upon government funding over the past 20 years than the original public-private initiatives that were in place when I entered the industry nearly 25 years ago. The result has been all of the organizations are now forced to sing for the their supper or public funding or risk being cut off and thus ineffective. In addition, the skill development of economic developers getting their hands dirty and rolling up their sleeves and working on deal financing options has grown morbidly and woefully weak. Most economic development professionals with ten to fifteen years experience now… that I meet have very limited ability to help create a deal incentive that can be monetized to make the financing more possible to cover the desired capital costs of the project. If their skills are present they have not shown much desire to engage and use them. What I have seen is more and more cheerleading and expecting the private sector to come to the table with a ready to go financing in hand project. This means many smaller companies get little if any assistance in getting their funding in place in a reasonable time period. I have heard this over and over again from business owners in the small to medium size group. The EDO’s aren’t interested in base hits they are looking for bleacher reachers… homeruns. Economic development has always traditionally been a hard job that gets involved in solving the business issues that will grow their economy. Today many of the younger economic developers are not getting the training they really need to ultimately be successful. In addition, the old avant guard of elite economic developers with the amazing skill sets I speak of are retiring and some becoming consultants. The issue in Texas I believe is actually a healthy situation for the economic development industry. It will make poor competitors sharpen their skills or face losing to major competitors. The competition is a healthy way to force economic development professionals and those they represent to improve their skills, begin to create better incentives and make sure their business climate is competitive and aligned with the cost of business requirements of today’s global economy. As in all capitalism based issues, the weak will lose and the strong will prevail and grow.

If the economic development profession does not address this growing weakness in actual skills by their professional economic developers then the impact of such lack of leadership and acumen will result in many businesses going to those that can and will assist them… as they should I might add. Also, the deals that they do go after may be unhealthy risks and could result in the loss of local capital that might cripple their ability to compete in the future. The Tesla deal in Nevada could prove to be just such a situation. The only question I would have is why was Nevada really chosen over Texas? Was it because Nevada was the right business location or was it because Nevada mortgaged the state to get the deal far above what Texas and others thought was realistic or merited? Yes, we all know the raw materials are here but those can be transported quite cheaply to the necessary site. One has to question if Nevada sold the farm to get the cow. I am not saying that such an investment and calculated risk is not sometimes necessary or merited, but I would hope that the young crew of economic developers on the Governor’s team did their homework. Some deals are really worth the risk, but such risks have to be calculated none the less and the calculations need to be done correctly. Only time will tell if this is Nevada’s BMW deal like South Carolina, or the Honda deal in Ohio, or the Toyota deal in Kentucky or the Mercedes deal in Alabama. In those cases the transition of those states was very well worth the investment. But with Mercedes coming out with their new E class and S class hybrids that will surpass the mileage of the Prius and BMW coming out with the I3 and the I8 it could be a very risky deal for Nevada.

The greatest challenge that professional organizations such as IEDC face is the proper education of their new entrants to the industry and the improvement of their skills so that they can become proficient. These organizations are the elite hang outs for economic developers to learn their trade, refine their craft and find and adapt their own situations from best practice examples. But sadly, even though the number of classes as increased exponentially since I was a young new entrant to the economic development field, it would seem that the competency has actually declined. Today many economic developers have been referred to as no more than cheerleaders and savvy say anything marketers for locales with not much substance or depth at problem solving. I hear this over and over again as complaints about professional competency seem to be on the increase. So to use a term to celebrate the annual conference of IEDC, it is something akin to a Texas saying, “They are all hat and no cattle.” If the economic development field wants to become more relevant to the business community and not just glad handers and back slappers for politicians they have to improve the ability of their ranks to become and be problem solvers for those that make the investments into local economies and hire people. While I believe this analysis may be taken wrong by some professionals that are blindly loyal to the fraternal nature of their professional membership groups, it is meant as constructive criticism to enlighten them to work on their A game. The fate of our nation depends on not just our spirit and innovation of our people, our ability to keep our government in line with our founding fathers principles and the ability of our cities to remain vibrant and recreate themselves when faced with adversity. Economic Developers play a crucial role in the success of our nation creating jobs, retaining jobs and remaining globally competitive.

Holbrook's Qualifications as an Economic Developer

This author has claimed to be responsible for 100s of successful projects worth billions that created 50,000 jobs in his role as an economic developer. Numerous journalists and bloggers have asked Don Allen Holbrook to document his lofty claims to no avail. These claims have been thoroughly researched and nothing even close can be substantiated. There are numerous articles on Outribunedotcom and the Houston Press.

Holbrook was fired from 2 economic developer positions and not renewed for a third. His success as an economic developer left him wallowing in bankruptcy in 2007. In that chapter 7 filing he wrote off 1.89 million. 1.29 million of that was legal fees. His 2011 chapter 11 filing was the result of his involvement in the EarthQuest theme park debacle according to Holbrook himself as he was still owed money for that international destination theme park that is still only on paper. He had a hand in every pie of that deal working for the East Montgomery County Improvement District, the Vercitas group, serving as president and CEO of the bankrupt charity (the EarthQuest Institute), the developers and original creator of the project. His LLCs raked in 1.2 million and straight into bankruptcy he went?

He has been mired in litigation for years. He has made a career of threatening litigation against anyone who dares to speak out about where their tax dollars are going. He fraudulently passed himself off as a PhD for years. In his most recent case where Huber Heights, OH sued him for allegedly performing a substandard economic analysis, fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation and unjust enrichment, Holbrook's response was to drag in numerous third parties. Holbrook sued numerous newspapers, journalists, all the taxpayers in Texas who dared to comment on his EarthQuest theme park boondoggle in Texas and the taxpayers of Parump, NV who didn't want to waste hundreds of thousands more dollars on Holbrook's and Contour Entertainment's nonsense. Other towns and entities rejected Holbrook's international destination tourism plugs, so not a single project has ever come to fruition. What legitimate economic developer would sue taxpayers concerned about the use of public funds?

Fellow Member (FM) status is conferred upon active IEDC members. A Fellow holds the classification as long as membership in the Council is maintained. Holbrook did not renew his membership, so he cannot use the FM designation any longer.

Holbrook's career as an economic developer appears to be over. He now makes a living hawking timeshares to unsuspecting marks in Las Vegas.

Soapboxmom is a person of very questionable character and she has nothing but malicious intentions towards me for no valid reasons. While all of her comments are absolutely false I will not defend my history or actions in a format such as this. It is not appropriate and it is none of her business nor anyone else's. What I do as a law abiding citizen is my business. I have numerous character and professional references that refute all of her statements. My clients are all fully briefed prior to any engagement and my credentials are without blemish. Her snooping and stalking of me, my wife and my children is beyond absurd and immoral behavior. It is cyber bullying and totally inappropriate. She has attacked and hounded hundreds of other people and this is how this mentally deranged person seems to enjoy herself by tormenting and stalking others online. She has sent emails to the media, my clients, my friends and attacked anyone she has found that stands up to her or refutes her statements on my behalf. She has never had any dealings with me and to my knowledge any of my clients other than to attack them through the Internet. She has not demonstrated any ability to think logically, act ethically or behave in a manner that is professional. I will never react to such people nor will I give them any information as they would only seek to use it maliciously to harm my reputation and my livelihood. I have a very clear policy on my website about such abuses of my privacy. In addition, I have clearly disclosed my opinions, client references and other pertinent information which any reasonable and normal person can read and understand, that makes it clear that this person Heather Dobrott of Garland Texas is just making up allegations that are not truthful, credible or honestly portrayed factually. I have reported this person to Facebook, Amazon and others, but the Internet rules of stopping such bad horrible people is not capable of addressing this issue. Suffice it to say she is in my opinion consumed with trying to harm me and my family and her words and/or actions should not be trusted by anyone that is of a sane mind. The scary thing in my opinion is that she has shown signs of her lack of ability to behave in a manner that is safe around other people by justifying her breach of conduct by her own standards. She is now apparently working with some Soccer League in Texas in some capacity ... May God protect those families and their children from this vile cruel person. I do not trust her actions when someone disagrees with her on any subject, and in my opinion she should be considered potentially a very dangerous person to encounter. If you encounter her either in person or online you should consider not having any form of relationship with her. I would advise anyone to use extreme caution to avoid any contact with this person as she has demonstrated a very dangerous psychologically disturbed emotionally unstable persona.

So, is he saying the Earthquest Institute paying him $185.00 an hour for a fraudulent purpose such as promoting the for profit theme park is okay? The money should go to blowhards like him instead of the true charitable purpose of the organization???

That lying gasbag will do anything to try to bury the factual reviews of his critics. The truth of his robbing taxpayers across the country, resume fraud and numerous threatened and filed lawsuits to silence truth-tellers has completely covered the Google search pages. He is kissing butt now and putting on a show as he is desperately trying to find a way to support the extravagant lifestyle his phony little wife apparently demands. She dresses like royalty and that cost a pretty penny. Holbrook is also visiting the salons to get his hair dyed.

Not to mention, the latest rumor about his fraudulent bankruptcy. Apparently, his second house in Lake Havasu is party central with a very costly pool and other amenities. So, while writing off lots more debt and screwing his creditors, he gets to enjoy the lifestyle of the rich and famous with a vacation home. Disgusting!!!

[Whip]

the fact he is still begging his 'friends' is hilarious.

This author has claimed to be responsible for 100s of successful projects worth billions that created 50,000 jobs in his role as an economic developer. Numerous journalists and bloggers have asked Don Allen Holbrook to document his lofty claims to no avail. These claims have been thoroughly researched and nothing even close can be substantiated. There are numerous articles on Outribunedotcom and the Houston Press.

Holbrook was fired from 2 economic developer positions and not renewed for a third. His success as an economic developer left him wallowing in bankruptcy in 2007. In that chapter 7 filing he wrote off 1.89 million. 1.29 million of that was legal fees. His 2011 chapter 11 filing was the result of his involvement in the EarthQuest theme park debacle according to Holbrook himself as he was still owed money for that international destination theme park that is still only on paper. He had a hand in every pie of that deal working for the East Montgomery County Improvement District, the Vercitas group, serving as president and CEO of the bankrupt charity (the EarthQuest Institute), the developers and original creator of the project. His LLCs raked in 1.2 million and straight into bankruptcy he went?

He has been mired in litigation for years. He has made a career of threatening litigation against anyone who dares to speak out about where their tax dollars are going. He fraudulently passed himself off as a PhD for years. In his most recent case where Huber Heights, OH sued him for allegedly performing a substandard economic analysis, fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation and unjust enrichment, Holbrook's response was to drag in numerous third parties. Holbrook sued numerous newspapers, journalists, all the taxpayers in Texas who dared to comment on his EarthQuest theme park boondoggle in Texas and the taxpayers of Parump, NV who didn't want to waste hundreds of thousands more dollars on Holbrook's and Contour Entertainment's nonsense. Other towns and entities rejected Holbrook's international destination tourism plugs, so not a single project has ever come to fruition. What legitimate economic developer would sue taxpayers concerned about the use of public funds?

Fellow Member (FM) status is conferred upon active IEDC members. A Fellow holds the classification as long as membership in the Council is maintained. Holbrook did not renew his membership, so he cannot use the FM designation any longer.

Holbrook's career as an economic developer appears to be over. He now makes a living hawking timeshares to unsuspecting marks in Las Vegas.

I suggest Mr. Holbrook explain his lie-filled, failed suit against the Tribune, Cynthia Calvert, The Houston Press, Craig Malisow, The Pahrump Valley Times, Frank Maurizio and all of the taxpayers that commented on his failed Earthquest mega-destination theme park. What all of us published is fact and opinion. Mr. Holbrook has not refuted any factual statements made by any of us.

And just where is that theme park???

Don A Holbrook --- 2 years ago - quote

"Dear Readers of this blog, as stated, this is a serious legal issue. Please note that I am brining litigation against Ms. Soapboxmom (Heather Dobrott et al) she received a letter from my attorney which very carefully stated she has until May 11th to substantiate with valid facts and evidence of her Libel comments. Ms. Dobrott is digging herself a very deep legal hole and her malicious attacks on my business and my professional reputation are purposeful and with willful intent to harm my livelihood. She has made very poor decisions in business and ignorance of the law will not excuse her nor any of you who choose to continue in this libel from the liabilities that are piling on yourselves. By spreading libel and then encouraging others unwittingly to participate on this page is just bringing other previously innocent people into her web of fictional conspiracy. I would encourage anyone on this web page to take note in the recent $13M Texas award of damages to those folks using and promoting anonymous libel about innocent people. At the appropriate time we will know every computer ID that has made comments on any site that aids in this process and those that make such comments must be prepared to deal with the litigation that is coming this month. If you continue to comment on me, my business, and further ruin my professional reputation and/or harm my livelihood and/or personal affairs for libel, slander, defamation or other malicious intent you do so at your own risk. For some the damages has been done and avoiding litigation is impossible in my opinion, but for those of you bright enough to discontinue your libel comments you may still avoid litigation. Be smart and do not be baited into legal liabilities by a person such as Heather Dobrott. She obviously has too much time on her hands and her mind goes to conspiracy theories as her own form of sick entertainment. That is her own affair until it harms others with such malicious intent that it wrecks their business for spreading virally false information and doing so for her own self-gratification reasons."

Holbrook was laughed out of court in Ohio for lack of jurisdiction 2 years ago (just months after writing that.)

The town of Pahrump, which ran Don Allen Holbrook out, published his e-mails to town officials. Holbrook told Pahrump in May 2011 that the Earthquest developer and its property were in bankruptcy. The Texas taxpayers only found out when Cynthia Calvert of The Tribune (one of many truthtellers Holbrook sued) published the bankruptcy documents and covered that story in January 2012.

Holbrook had also told Pahrump that Contour Entertainment was purchasing the property for Earthquest in May 2011 and that ground breaking for Earthquest would happen by the first quarter of 2012. The land was lost over two years later as the repurchase option from the new owners ran out. A new property has been bragged of, but no financing has been secured since Contour began scrounging for money in May 2011. It is doubtful that property will ever be purchased. The Earthquest dino is apparently extinct.

Holbrook outright lied in order to schmooze Pahrump into spending hundreds of thousands of dollars paying him to consult on another silly destination them park project that would go nowhere, but line his pockets handsomely. Luckily, some savvy people ran that charlatan out as they checked out his background and saw the writing on the wall for Earthquest. Huber Heights Ohio also got wise and sued Holbrook in 2012. Holbrook proceeded to sue Cynthia Calvert, The Tribune, numerous other publications, journalists, John and Jane Doe taxpayers and little ol'me as third party defendants in that suit. That got him laughed out of court for lack of jurisdiction.

It is high time Holbrook substantiate his claims of 100s of successful projects worth billions of dollars that created 50,000 jobs and explain why he lied to public entities?

While sitting on his XXXLarge can during downtime reaping the rewards of his lies at BlueGreen, he ought to UPS a copy to Frank the Bank. I'm sure for a small kickback of the money he stole down here Froggy would send a glowing review.........oh, wait........he dropped that money at the craps table in Harrahs years ago

Stupid is NOT a defense!
Another Article in the Series Related to “The Dark Side of Social Media”
People who makes mistakes in life many times pass off such mistakes as being unaware of the gravity of their own willful choices… Thus I didn’t know what I was doing was wrong. The Legal System in our own country has a polite term for “Stupid” it is ignorance. Let’s reflect on what our legal system says about Stupid. “Ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law.” In other words it’s your responsibility to understand how to behave legally within the law. Failure due to your own lack of taking time to learn how to act and behave, still results in guilt and thus is a punishable event, if you are caught.

Let’s reflect on our own choices and our typical blame game excuses. Many say the want a great job, great relationship with their significant other and family, a great vacation, a great house, car, retirement, physique (my own downfall) and they do nothing to make these desires become s reality. Worse yet they blame the lack of results on their parents or upbringing and/or their employer, economy, or other circumstances. In fact, it is their own failure to adapt to a behavior that would create those outcomes. So, the failure is 100% due to their own poor choices.

Let’s face it, they are probably either too lazy to adapt or too lazy to investigate the situation from credible sources of authority. Stupid can be categorized typically into a few categories normally. Those are usually as follows; pure laziness and failure to act and/or investigate the choice prior to diving right in uninformed or worse yet following the advice of other uninformed idiots. The second major habit of stupidity is just thinking some outside event is going to create their desired result. Here are yet some more examples; Botox to stop your looks from fading due to age, hoping nobody will discover your bad behavior, hoping that you will win the lottery or hit the Jackpot in Vegas or at a Casino. Hope is eternal but not likely to create your desired outcome. Here is another one, believing a person that has hurt your feelings numerous times or betrayed your trust several times is actually worthy of your friendship and/or worse yet your love or trust. Kids are examples of young versions of future adults. They make these mistakes and our parenting is then supposed to teach them the error of those naive choices, so they correct it and as an adult act with the knowledge of how to behave correctly. But News Flash, even if your parents were horrible as an adult its your responsibility to adapt and behave regardless of your lack of training by idiotic or self-absorbed parents.

Now let’s move to this new instant gratification and instant access to information Internet driven age. Not researching choices today is really seriously either Pure Lazy or Malicious Intent thinking nobody will catch you or enforce your punishment if you are caught.

Now let me give you a real life example of both stupid and malicious combined right from my own life. About two years ago I picked a cyber stalker (look up the definition) and seriously malicious cyber bully (again look up the definition). This person whom I do not know at all, I have never done any consulting work in her community so she has not been impacted adversely by my own behavior. I do not believe I have ever indirectly sold her a book (Amazon and other retailers do not tell me who purchases my books), so to my knowledge she has no basis to factually comment on my books or consulting work.

Now she (let’s just call her a made up name like she so enjoys…Doc Bumkus or SoapboxMom) has expressed her opinion of me, my work, and projects I have done work for as a consultant as not opinions but fact. She has done this under the false guise of our first amendment ( Freedom of Speech). She has made comments online that I am a criminal and that I am lying or fraudulent in my statements or that my own stated outcomes are not legitimate. She has reported all this on numerous web sites in order to not only smear my name and ruin my reputation to to also harm my livelihood. She feels that her positions are correct, even though she is just another stupid and lazy person by my own assessment.

Let’s tear her arguments apart so she can be exposed. First let me tell you why this actually matters now to me. She won’t cease her actions, so a client of mine recommended I use her as a case study of how to really combat a cyber stalker and write about it, so others can learn from my own negative experience.

She has attacked my projects, stating they are failed or not worthy of proceeding. She cites other printed sources and claims that since some other source or idiot blogger agrees with her it therefore must be true. Her defense is that I and/or my clients haven’t refuted her claims publicly so therefore our failure to react as she desires is therefore an admittance of some predisposed guilt. She posts this on numerous very public places (so she has committed defamation of character under the law) something not protected by the First Amendment.

You may ask although most say the exact same thing I do, as to why I don’t respond to her taunts in a manner that she acknowledges? Because it’s none of her business and I have no legal requirement to refute her false statements. The burden of proof is on her not me to actually back up her lies and intentional false defamatory statements. In fact, she is so stupid that she cannot understand that if tested to a litmus test of validity to that statement, I could easily validate my claims and have done so already many times for clients of mine. This is what is considered acceptable behavior by law and it has met my client’s own tests of legitimacy because they then have then freely chosen to hire me or purchased my products and services based on their own research of me, my reputation and my pervious work experience.

So, the reason I have not legally addressed her is due to the failure of the legal system to keep up with the ever evolving situation called social media and the Internet. Where she lives Texas does not yet allow me (the resident of another state) to haul her into court for these violations. But that is changing and is evolving to solve that problem as we speak. Once that occurs my ability to do so will not be hampered by the lack of jurisdiction. In my case I tried to sue her where I had proof of her defamation causing harm to me in Ohio, but the judge ruled he did not have jurisdiction to prosecute her. That does not mean she was not guilty just that I had no reciprocity. She has touted this as somehow a victory of her legitimacy, nothing about her assertion of such is factual. But more important to the legal nature of her continued violations is that she continues to post this on public websites to harm my livelihood. She puts it up on Amazon clearly one of the most visible websites in the world and posts on her own created blogs and others so that Google will find them. Even more disastrous to her own defense she seems to know how to optimize her posts so they draw more attention by search engines. Willful malicious intent fine to harm my own economic endeavors which I do lawfully and with full disclosure.

She boasts that others who associate with me should act to stop associating with me, my professional associations, my employers, my fans and she even attacks my family and associates them as she has portrayed me, causing them embarrassment and undue emotional stress. She attacks my children and their school affiliations. She is a classic stalker by her acts. She is consumed in her twisted desire to cause harm to me in order to get attention to her. Obviously she has developed this persona due to her own short comings. Now the interesting thing is that her husband works for a company that is a huge web content consulting and service firm Dallas Texas. It would seem to now make sense that her knowledge of how to use the Internet to harm me and others has been aided by her husband either directly or indirectly using his insider knowledge of such techniques passing these along to her (his wife). Now his employer may be in the chain of events even without their knowledge of their employee’s activities outside of his work. So they are Ignorant under the law, but not yet proven innocent of complicity or indirectly aiding the activities by their lack of behavior enforcement of their employees and their family members. Her husband may be guilty as well if when tested by legal standards his involvement is proven to have been on purpose and of his own free will. Now you have wages to garnish as one of the possibilities.

Now as the events and timing unfolds in Texas to allow such civil and possibly criminal matters to be considered by the Texas courts it may be proven that her stupidity may be a prosecutable and/or litigious event that I can choose to pursue. Previous actions did not have a clear cut trail that could be followed where victory was overwhelmingly in my favor. Now as things change and the actions are still actionable it may be a different opportunity. For one thing now an attorney will have more economic reward for restitution to be awarded to me if we can prevail. Under the evaluation I did two years ago, my own stalker was judged as not worthy of the investment to pursue her legally. To put it bluntly the cost would not be possible by my own estimation and that of my attorneys to be recovered from the stalker for my pursuit of her for her potential harm to me, my reputation and my livelihood. Now if I can find an avenue by which I can add on others related to her as possible economic co-conspirators and they can be made to pay for their involvement under the Texas legal system, it may prove to be a worthy pursuit and thus a risk of my own capital to seek restitution from my assailants, stalker, and co-conspirators.

In the end if you acquire a cyber stalker from the vile, malicious dark alleys of the Information highway era, your best defense may be s good offense. You have to hit them where it hurts in their pocket book. A turn about after-all is considered fair play by most of our societal standards and morally acceptable protocols.

Take note of their violations and keep a record of their actions. Create your valid proof to substantiate your own situation. Do not feel any obligation to produce and publish such proof by posting it on the Internet. Those choosing to attack you probably will just continue to disputes its validity or worse yet they will expand their efforts to harm you by bombarding your professional colleagues and clients. Your clients probably do not wish to be subjected to such needless stupid people. In addition step up your own positive image campaign spend time and money creating factual positive public relations and marketing over the Internet to create at least some counter balance to he negative smear and defamation campaign of your stalker and their witless cronies.

Learn from my own errors, by not directly responding to their taunts and ignore them. Just increase your public relations and marketing expense and effort to create a positive counter balance to the stalkers. By responding to them publicly I believe you give them credibility in their simpleton minds and they somehow feel some sick justification or reward for their actions.

Finally, at the appropriate time bring the full weight of the justice system to bear on them. You should do this only when you have the economic resources to wage the assault in your stalkers. Unfortunately even though you can prove your case of economic harm and damaged reputation and livelihood the other party may not be financially at to pay for your restitution. Now the defense of your honor, character and career may not be financially feasible. Do take the time to explore what legal remedies you have at the time and then as time goes by in some cases the laws will evolve to allow you to proceed. It may not be at the instance that you want but patience and timing are very important in dealing with cyber stalkers and cyber bullies. The law is now changing as more and more people are being harmed by the invisible assailants on the Internet. In addition the laws may open up new economic relief avenues such as culpability and complicity of others directly or indirectly involved in these misdeeds. Even employers of such people who do not police their employees involvement in such activities may become financially liable. Now the attorneys will begin to find avenues to recover their fees and thus litigate on your behalf.

Times are changing so be ready to act and protect your livelihood and reputation. Never tolerate cyber stalkers or bullies, because if you do they just continue to bully you and others unfettered by any moral or legal sense of right and wrong.

Remember to pursue and opponent and win you have to have a strategy that will use all elements to your overwhelming odds of winning. Timing in military terms it would equate to picking the terrain (battlefield) and timing ( when you have overwhelming superiority) to attack them. You may feign retreat or allow them to continue to believe they have prevailed just so they in fact lower their defenses and give you further advantage. Then you strike when you feel everything is totally in your favor.

Once engaged I believe the best philosophy to adopt in total victory! Allow no mercy or they will go onto someday be capable of harming you or others again. Wipe them out financially, emotionally and professionally. In other words you legally do to them what they maliciously tried to do to you. The world of Karma would probably say “they got their own medicine, or they brought this upon themselves by their own self-fulfilling behavior response justification). They created the means to their own end or demise. They do not deserve mercy or forgiveness that is for God and the courts to determine not you.

In my own scenario as it may be in your own case, you have other legal remedies that may create some form of respite and economic relief from these malicious bottom feeders on the information highway. I have decided to write and speak out about this issue on both a personal and business level. By advocating for changes it may help others in the end.

I also have decided to write a fictional story using much of the characters twisted views for the villain in the fictional novel. Her own victims from previous activities she has been involved in created a ready stockpile of examples I could fictionalize to create a quite interesting murder-mystery-thriller. In addition, to creating a possible award winning novel it could easily fit into a genre for a great book to film project. There is no better revenge than to profit from the stalkers attack on you by making a good example of this issue and allowing Hollywood to do their thing about it and thus pay you handsomely for your grief by telling your story and rewarding you with a nice economic royalty check for your resourceful and creative ability to put pen to paper and tell the tale in a highly visual screen play.

However, you choose to react to your own situation use good judgement and get professional guidance so that you do not react in a way that is not lawful. There are so many lawful ways to extract your revenge and seek and get restitution there is no need to react in your stalkers own fashion. Good Luck. Remember you are dealing with a very disturbed and mentally unstable person so be patient.

Holbrook takes stupid to a whole new level. Where do I start??? The Plaintiff (Sir Gasbag himself) has the burden of proof in a court of law. A blogger challenging one to substantiate their claims as I have done with Gasbag numerous times does not in any way fit the legal definition of defamation. Making criminal allegations (as in accusing me of cyberstalking) is actionable and I would have zero trouble prevailing on that one if I dragged this nut into court as I did Darnell for exactly the same thing.

My purchasing Holbrook's silly books or being in a town whose vault Holbrook emptied doesn't make a lick of difference. It is a free country and I can discuss online whatever I darn well please. I used numerous mainstream newpapers and court records etc. for the basis of my posts. Sure is great that paid archives are available in almost every town where Gasbag was run out or fired.

Of course, he can't afford to litigate against me and these imaginary co-conspirators / assailants. He lived the lifestyle of the rich and famous and is once again under a bankruptcy plan. He can't win a case without provably false statements of fact. Opinions are not actionable. So, ol' Gasbag is just blowing smoke yet again. And, he is definitely proving to be the stupid one. There is absolutely nothing to stop him from filing against me in the county in which I reside in Texas. He is just babbling complete nonsense.

Jurisdiction is not the real reason this ding-dong couldn't touch me in Ohio. He is such a lying scumbag he referenced posts in his filing that the defendants actually made weeks after he was **** canned. What an idiot!

Wages are only garnished in Texas for child support. And, he forgets that as the plaintiff he will be forced to cough up everything but his used toilet paper including tax records. That will make for some really fun posting for little ol'mom here!!!

When was an employer ever held responsible for postings done by an employee when they are not representing the company? If Joe Blow works at say Target for instance and uses his tablet on his break to trash Holbrook, I can guarantee that Target is not going to be held liable in any way. Just what is this guy smoking? He really needs to quit talking to lawyers who got their degrees out of a Cracker Jack Box.

"Extract your revenge" Well that is certainly one of the precepts of knighthood. I will be sure to pass this along to your soon to be ex-fellow knights.

Pay It Forward Simple Strategy to Create a Millionaire within about 30-45 days


Social Media Driven Wealth by Collaboration and Collective Crowd Development

The Power and Potential of an Exponentially Connected Market Place of Highly Action Oriented People… how $20.00 USD could change your financial future exponentially!

This experiment is based on the inspiration many of us are aware of with the success of the Jerry McQuire Movie slogan… “Help Me Help YOU,” and the Pay It Forward Movie and story developed several years ago based on the simplicity of human innovation and initiative. There is very little risked financially in this experiment and it is based on our own character and initiative and trust in those that we are in contact with regularly to each spend a small amount of their money approximately twenty dollars ($20.00 USD) in our relationship.

I am initiating this on the Internet so it may be adapted and used by far more people than I realize by the time you get your own personal invitation by me or any number of your friends.

Everyone knows that there are a gazillion (not a word I know that) different ideas being hyped by a sorts of folks. There are offers everyday for us to participate in some scheme that offers to get us rich and successful. Most people fall into one of several categories of characteristics when it comes to their own initiative to improve their economic condition.

1.) Naive- they either fall for the best laid out marketing pitch and continuously hope that if they respond to enough sweepstakes and/or multi-level marketing opportunities that hopefully eventually they will hit it big.

2.) Lazy- They aren’t willing to actually take any real significant behavior changes that will or could result in their becoming better off by actions that they must be accountable for driving.

3.) Disbelievers- They are pessimists and negative people in general and for the most part blame others or circumstances that they feel are beyond their control that have created their plight in life.

4.) Driven Resourceful- These folks are the ones that evaluate each worthwhile circumstance and then determine how or if it is something that they are willing and capable of embracing in order to realize a measurable gain that is worth their investment of time and resources. They typically are very well read and versed on continuous self-improvement. These folks are also accountable and dependable and not prone to making excuses when they do fail or fall short of someone’s expectations. They learn, adapt and evolve daily.

Now, let’s look at your own situation. YOU have been chosen to participate in this donation based pay it forward crowd development funding program because the person that has sent this to you, believes you are characteristic type number four (#4).

The first thing you have to realize is that in every situation there are pearls of truth and opportunity even if they are overshadowed by or surrounded by dishonest and non-factual information. The entire conversation of the proverbial Ponzi-scheme is just such a subject. There are a ton of ponzi schemes that are just not based on genuine opportunity or realistic about how many people will participate.

But in life it is our ability to innovate and combine concepts even those that are failed and/or flawed that creates the genius of human innovation and initiative. TODAY this is your opportunity to consider becoming part of a strategy that I feel could work to yours and all of our best interests economically. It is not designed just to make me and./or you or anyone else rich on a lopsided basis… rather on a fair mathematical calculation that rewards all of us for taking initiative. It also depends on each of us being successful at picking ten people that we know well to make the same investment we are making ourselves and not break the chain. If you fail to hold up your part of the long line you will harm everyone else… So, failure is collectively dependent on each of us knowing and picking ten dependable people that will pay this forward and take the time to pick ten people themselves that will do the same.

Now, let’s discuss the enormous investment that will create this tremendous financial donation opportunity. This is an old school process combined with the power of the digital era social media driven capabilities that most of us have at our disposal today.

Let me break it down into the steps:

How much do you have to Invest Best and Worst Case (hypothetically)

Purchase ten business envelope let’s just use $.50 cents each so $5.00 realistically probably much less

Print off these instructions and include your list of with your name at the top and then additional ten names moving my name down to the second position with nine additional names that you add from your contacts. Make sure you include the address of the top name (Yours) with your address and then write my name on the second line with my own address and fill in your next nine names with their addresses. Cost of ten sheets of paper $1.00 realistically much less.

Mail this sheet to your own top ten people with the same instructions as above… each time the person receiving it creates their own list and places their own name at the top of the list, then moves your name and my own name at the top of the list down one slot and removes the eleventh name from the list and instead replaces their own persons name into the spot below their name with that person’s address and repeats the cycle independently for their ten contacts. So when they are completed they should have ten envelopes with each envelope having one contact uniquely from their friends list on the list along with their own name, the person that mailed this to them, and the second name on that list on each list, plus their own unique friend’s name and then the next slots filled with the other names on the original list removing each time the eleventh name when they create the list.

They then must mail this to the ten people individually with a $1.00 bill inside each envelope. Now you have invested $10.00 of your money realistically. Some people may try to increase their odds by mailing more than ten envelopes… that is their own decision. Of course the more you risk the possibility for gain probably increases if you can pick people that will actually be dependable enough to follow through with this effort. You see the vast majority of people I believe talk the talk of wanting to be financially successful but won’t invest even a meager risk of less than $20.00 to possibly change their economic outcomes.

So, this comes down to the power of persuasion and the power of perception. If you believe you can pick ten people willing to invest their own $20.00 in this effort you could make this and a bunch of other people’s day within the next 30 days. if you do the actual math on the possibilities it becomes very exciting… but math is based on probability of certainty. In order for this to be successful for all of us, you and your top ten picks must be credible and willing to take the same initiative that I am challenging you with today.

If we are all successful in supporting our network with our own twenty dollars $20.00 USD and not breaking the chain this could be a very lucrative effort for each of us equally at risk and equally positioned to gain the same if it works with our own power of perception and picking ten dependable and action oriented folks to do the same as I am doing with you and also trusting you to do the same.

The next element is timing… this is scheduled to take a positive impact within each of our lives at full payout over about 30-45 days. So in order for this to happen in that time frame, you need to get this done and mailed out within three business days of your receiving the envelope in the U.S. Mail. My additional suggestion is that you email this to the top ten people you are considering and get their email verification that they are willing to do as instructed and not break the chain before you mail it to them. If they tell you they are not willing to invest the time and $20.00 then don’t send them the physical envelope with the $1.00 USD dollar bill in it. Send the email to someone else you think you can trust to do as requested until you get ten responses that are willing to participate and invest their own Twenty dollars ($20.00 USD) in our chain of wealth.

Within thirty to forty five days if this works as I have tried to calculate it with basic math, each of us should be far better off than what we started with in our investment. I think in my unsophisticated opinion (meaning I am not an expert as determined by our government in investments) this should be capable of returning your twenty dollar ($20.00 USD) investment about six levels of exponential growth, possibly even more.

So, 1.00 times 10 people, times 10 more people, times 10 more people, and so on until our name is dropped from the list equals about 1,000,000 or more variables if it goes with the chain unbroken along the path as we are attempting to do so… thus the pay it forward old school wealth chain should pay each of us a pretty handsome return on investment. You can do your own math but if it worked my own math returned a number in excess of Ten Million dollars… ($10,000,000.00 USD).

Here are some obvious disclaimers….

1.) This donation of twenty dollars ($20.00 USD) is totally at risk and it is not an investment by some structured organization or corporation but more of a collective cooperative similar to the Amish coming together to each help the other with major work loads.

2.) The monies spent are not tax deductible to my knowledge as I am not a tax expert and the recipients are individuals not corporations or at least that is the intention of the campaign. Therefore, everyone who receives money from this is individually responsible to declare such income as taxable monies on their fiscal year tax return for the period of time that they receive the monies.

3.) None of us are making any legal representations to the use or viability of this effort… is an honor and character based effort to each help some of our friends and colleagues. There is a possibility that your name may get on the list somewhere down the line by someone you had not thought of, but that risk is something you have to bear in order to keep the chain going and probably won’t be more than you can afford… it it is then don’t respond to the next request, and/or if the person follows the instructions and emails you first, just tell them you have already been a participant and that they should go to the next person on their list. Caveat… if you choose to remain on their list then you are responsible for doing the same steps over again and not breaking the chain and you are accepting the same risks yet again and thus they are increasing your own risks at least at the same amount of your reward potential. So that is your own individual choice made with no prejudice by the person asking you.

So if this works out we will all help one another more than probably we each thought possible… and it should be a fun experiment in the power of social media combined with our own instincts of picking people with the character, conviction, initiative and vision to see something through for the potential of experimenting with human ingenuity and our desire for satisfaction and self-generated success and wealth.

It should be a fun exercise to be part of. I wish you all a great deal of financial success and hope it benefits all of us to our best desires. If you are receiving this message then you are someone I trust with the confidence to understand and act on this to assist you and I and all the others with this opportunity…

If you do not intend to participate please notify me by email and I will not mail you the money or put your name on the list. This should be a fun use of our time and it doesn’t require a huge amount of money or time to create some form of result and it should not financially wreck havoc on any of us if it fails. I will fall back on the old adage, “Nothing Ventured then Nothing Gained.”

Sincerely,

Your Trusted Friend.

the U.S. Government rules it a chain letter scheme fraud act of 1935. would not want to break the law. So don't try the experiment sorry

[Whip]

lol. what a liar. How could he not know it was a chain letter scam.

[littleroundman]

I created a formula that can generate millions of $$ per person by math 10 /6th power w/ social media $20 plus 10 contacts.

WHAT ????

Saying he came up with the formula for chain letters is like claiming he invented the wheel.

I think the guy needs to check what herbs he's putting in his breakfast omelette

Baby Boom Question of What's Next?


Most of us in the baby boomer generation I think have and are probably still pondering this complex question. Our parents did not prepare us for the eventual failures that our generation seems to be inheriting and our feelings of being somewhat lost and having lost control of our own destiny. So this question is and has confronted most of us from the Baby Boom generation.

We had never envisioned that our age now, we would be virtually wiped out financially, have no job security and even question the opportunity for us to end up OK in general. We always were led to believe by our parents (The Greatest Generation as coined by the media) that we were special and our future was nothing but bright. Yet today most of us feel unsatisfied with our current plight and insecure in our own economic stability and are losing hope that we can even turn our lives around and get them back on track to salvage our very legacy and give our spirits some respite. This complex question is the basis for my next book. I am going to address what I feel are the driving factors of how and why we got ourselves into this predicament and what concerns we rightfully should have for our future and how to get us back on track. It will be brutally honest and by no means am I a role model of what you should do. I do feel my own life has been just as dramatically impacted by the negative forces and outcomes as most of my friends, family and others generation members. I see this everyday in my own Facebook Family of Friends posts. So, I feel compelled to take on this subject and do my best to make it understandable and allow all of us Baby Boomers to know we are hardly alone in these feelings.

Also, as I try myself to find my own path forward after the global economic debacle of 2008-2013 (The second Great Depression) I will give my own ideas of how we might move forward and get all of our collective interests back on track and eventually hopefully feel some sense of accomplishment and less stressful dispositions of our very nature and spirits as a generation that today feels quite lost and betrayed.

As always as I develop and write this book all of you are very welcome to confidentially share your own stories and concept on this topic… as that will help me formulate this story from the best perspective beyond even my own.

Thankful 2014 and Hopeful 2015


Posted on November 27, 2014 (http://donallenholbrook.wordpress.com/2014/11/27/thankful-2014-and-hopeful-2015/) by economicdeveloper (http://donallenholbrook.wordpress.com/author/economicdeveloper/) Standard (http://donallenholbrook.wordpress.com/2014/11/27/thankful-2014-and-hopeful-2015/)
http://donallenholbrook.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/20141127-002718-1638151.jpg?w=520&h=350&crop=1
It’s been a while since I posted and I thought or rather felt the need to express some feelings.
I was told recently I should speak less and that if I wanted people to like me better I need to say less in social gatherings. This really made me think about my perception to others. Apparently many folks feel the need to deride me for my social persona. I believe they see it as a man with too much hubris. Nothing could be further from the truth. I love to socialize, after all I’m a professional story teller. We THRIVE on entertaining by our creative prose.
So in an effort to set the record straight I feel the desire to speak up. Yes, apparently some may take my outspoken behavior the wrong way.

Now let me set this out for the record. I don’t speak out to draw attention to me. I speak out about what I believe in and also about things I feel others could learn from that might help themselves and even our own country to get back on track. I am passionate about not giving up on our nation. I want us to get motivated to begin making a huge turn around from the slippery slope I see America going down.

I am very thankful for my family, my job, my health and my opportunities. I will remain an optimist because anything else would be to succumb to despair. I will choose to believe we can do better and that we can still come out with an awesome future, individually and Our People in this great nation. I believe our destiny is up to us to strive to create not to be abandoned to others to decide our fate for us.

I thank God for loving me in-spite of my continuous failures. God has been there for me even when I failed to trust him to handle my best interests. While I am a behavioral scientist I still believe God is my companion and God is in control of my destiny. Anything I accomplish and/or any positive windfall that comes to me is through God and it is because of him and his unlimited ability. My Lord therefore deserves all the praise and the accolades. All glory and praise are God’s and should not ever be heaped upon me. I am nothing without God. If my beliefs offend you or make you uncomfortable, candidly I don’t care… That’s your problem. Go consort with people you believe have all the answers…I’ve already seen how that works out for most folks

Now back to my outspoken nature. Come on folks… I am an Author. I am a storyteller to my very core DNA. It’s what I love and it’s what motivates me. I of course want to develop stories that others will love, enjoy and Learn from, it’s who I am.

I speak professionally for a living almost every day of the week to live audiences, television, radio and other interviews… Communicating is my profession. To expect me to be present and silent would be unrealistic. I wouldn’t enjoy myself and probably would not seek to spend much time In such company again.

I choose to look at life as still an unfolding opportunity and I am and will try to remain a hopeful optimist. I believe we can strive to always be better. I try to look for the positive in people, but I know realistically people are not ways trustworthy or kind. They can take on misery and be a miserable lot and such people seek to make others miserable as well. I don’t and won’t allow them to suck me into their black hole of negativity.

If I have offended you or anyone else then I am sorry, but seriously get over yourself. Please just don’t invite me to your gatherings anymore if I am that offensive to your nerves. Life is to short to be in the company of such mean spirited and malicious people. Furthermore telling my wife such stuff is hateful and hurtful. She is obviously proud of me and I think respects me for my genuine integrity and demonstrated character.

Err,

"integrity" and "Don Allen Holbrook" in the same post.

Heather Dobrott aka Soapboxmom is a woman who believes without any factual evidence to support her theories that she is correct in all her assumptions. She is a disassociated person that has had nothing to do with any of my projects. Her only role has been to harass my clients by bombing them with emails, attacking anyone who disagrees with her and tries to bully public figures such as myself to further enhance her own need for self-gratification. My clients paid for my services and gave me glowing letters of recommendation for my work on EarthQuest.

Funny. You have no idea what you are talking about. How about I call your employer and email hundreds of people you know and tell them a fictional story that makes you sound like a crook. Then they all decide not employ you and you suddenly find that your work is gone and you have no way to pay your bills. Once you've had something like that happen to yourself, you wouldn't make such stupid and uncalled for comments. Walk a mile in someone else's shoes then see how you feel.

Earthquest Institute 501 c 3 charity..... IRS says REVOKED!!!!

So much for Holbrook's insane claim that he has never had a failed project. 1.4 million dollars of which almost 400 grand landed in his pockets and the charity is bust and the Earthquest (mega-international destination theme park) exists only on paper. Thanks in a large part to Holbrook, the charity money is lost, the taxpayers spent 3 million on world wide tours for the Chez Nous Crew and the taxpayers must satisfy 21 million in bonds whether this joke of a project comes to fruition or not.

Colossal fail!!! :RpS_cursing::RpS_cursing::RpS_cursing:

I just subscribed to the Red Wing Republican Eagle so I will be downloading and sharing from all these scathing articles about Don Allen and Laurie Holbrook:

Looks like Laurie is just as dishonest as her husband judging from her being found guilty of fraud and misrepresentation. Birds of a feather do flock together!!! Don Holbrook was brilliant to sue Red Wing, make lawsuit threats to other parties afterward and then ice the cake by suing numerous parties including commenting taxpayers in Texas and Nevada.

What Soapboxmom distorts is I have refuted her validity she just refuses to accept the truth. Her overlooking or selective choices in accuracy points to her own severe lack of credibility. Her case was dismissed in court because she lives in a state that does not allow me to sue her from the source of her defamation. When I was challenged on my truthfulness years ago I did prevail in court and prove my own validity. She is again an online bully and stalker. Anyone who steps up to validate my credibility she attacks voraciously along with her own lynch mob of fellow online thugs and vigilantes. She harasses your family, employers and friends. Her own downfall will be soon. She won't be able to hide in Texas much longer as the laws are changing and all her victims will then be able to get justice and seek restitution against her and her husband along with his own employer.

Holbrook is referring to Red Wing Minnesota correctly accusing him of resume fraud. The original meeting minutes are here:

Holbrook did not prevail in court. The attorney settled without the approval of the Red Wing board as they had not fired him in the manner prescribed in his contract. Read the quotes in the posts above from the meeting minutes and decide for yourself if Holbrook committed resume fraud.

Now, if Mr. Holbroook could kindly quote and show the changes forthcoming in these mysterious laws!

Yesterday 5:54 PM
Wrong they were ordered to settle by the Judge because he found their case had no merit and totally lacked any factual basis. They paid over $160,000 in damages and were forced by the judge to write and publish a formal apology in the newspaper. Get your facts straight lady.

Here are some real facts... My work has led to hundreds of successful projects being funded and over 50,000 jobs created and well over a billion dollars of economic Impact. I'm proud of that. I have out of all these projects 3 projects still in progress working on their funding of which EarthQuest is one. 1 failed project in Huber Heights because you and your cronies bombarded the local newspaper and scared the elected officials out of finishing the work. They then tried to break their contract and could not find a legal grounds to do so. We settled out of court because I had no economic upside to spend any additional legal fees on the matter because it would not be cost justified. Once Texas changes their current Law I will sue you and your husband for those damages, as I have all the proof I need to prove your meddling created the debacle. I'm glad he has a great job because you will need it to pay your legal expenses and my damages. See you in court soon. It has been fun getting you all spun up again... Just proves how easy this will be soon.

Everyone recognizes that you are a silly and deranged stalker snd all my detrimental comments are not from clients or former clients just you lady and your other sicko sidekicks.

Here are some questions for you;

How many jobs have you assisted in creating in your lifetime?

How many companies have expanded and invested in their local communities because of your hard work?

How many people have given you awards for your assistance or organizations for your lifetime of positive achievements?

None that I can find... So your commentary is just innuendos and defamation aimed at making yourself feel better. In fact I would wager that a whole bunch of people would throw a party if you quit taking good oxygen from the planet. You hurt on purpose and without regard for reality or facts. Your downfall is imminent. You have sparked me to write a great book that should become a best seller based on the inappropriate action of people like you! I'm done having fun with your silly conjecture.

The judge did not force them to write the apology in all likelyhood. The attorneys for both sides most likely came up with a settlement without the public board's knowledge or approval. The judged most likely signed that agreement as the final order, but I doubt the judge cooked that up on his own. The public entity wanted to end the mess as cheaply as possible and get rid of Holbrook permanently. They had made the mistake of not firing him in the exact manner specified in his ludicrous contract. Though the court papers are no longer available, Holbrook has refused to release them, so we are getting his spin and tons of information from archived newspaper articles.

And Huber Heights settled because Holbrook was in bankruptcy and probably uncollectable. Why chase a pauper through court???

When is the crazy boy going to quote this mysterious law that he claims is going to change and allow him to sue me and my husband (who has no involvement in my work.)

And, for the record I haven't pocketed a dime in tax dollars and I don't need awards to stroke my ego as some do. I advocate for consumers as I only wish to make a positive contribution. Some seem extremely vexed as the public feeding trough has now been closed to them.

Holbrook has yet to quote and refute any statement of fact. Whining that the Houston Press, The Tribune, Channel 2 Investigates, The Pahrump Valley Times, me and all the other journalists and publications from years back that exposed him have been inaccurate, misleading, dishonest etc. is laughable. If that was the case he would have triumphed in court numerous times now and all those publications would have written retractions. So, when have any of us been proven wrong??? LOL!!!!


Don Holbrook (https://plus.google.com/b/106426386224103036399/107888975727767198354)Still not an answer to my call out. You have no facts to support your position and I won't debate a fool. Your news agencies you cite aren't even credible. YourHouston News a lady and a couple of kids selling a local newspaper primarily to Chamber of Commerce members, Houston News is a weekly free entertainment coupon give away, the executive mentioned in the news is more likely the Developer who was given the bond proceeds... Again you lady are a nut case. Funny and laughable that you think anyone credible should take you seriously. You have yet done compensable economic harm and for that you and anyone who acts illegally on your advice will be held liable. Your final chapter has not yet been written but your end is near.




Soapboxmom1

Holbrook can't even get the names of the papers correct. Holbrook meant The Houston Press, The Tribune and of course the hilarious videos are on Channel 2 Investigates in Houston.

I have quoted numerous court documents, archived articles from across the country concerning your ecomonic development follies, your e-mails, information provided to the press by Frank McCrady, minutes from meetings where such lovely topics as you committing resume fraud were discussed, your inane postings on numerous sites across the net and much more.

http://www.pahrumpnv.org/images/uploads/downloads/110614_Backup3.pdf

That lie-filled drivel is one of my favorites. Holbrook tells the folks In Pahrump, Nevada, where he is promoting another grand project, that the developer for Earthquest is bankrupt, as of May 2011, Contour (we) is (are) purchasing the property and that Earthquest will break ground by the first quarter of 2012. All that is fiction. The property was never purchased and the mega-international theme park Holbrook bragged of never broke ground. The bankruptcy was made public in January 2012 by Cynthia Calvert of the Tribune after an August 2011 filing. Holbrook sued her, that paper many other parties and me and as I have repeatedly pointed out was laughed out of court.

Again SoapboxMom you make bold untrue statements. $21M is Their total indebted bond amount for EMCID, of which about $6M plus interest is related to the EQ project. The developer must pay that back once they move forward with development. In addition I only created the invectives strategy, which by the way included the required zone to pay off the bond. I am not a developer.

To get things correct you must tell the truth. Something you seem to have a very difficult time doing. By the way you are a bully by all definitions. You Attack a tone who disagrees with you personally not on the actual factual basis of the argument. You Attack their friends, their clients and go out of your way to discredit them where they work for no reason other than to wreck emotional and financial havoc on others. Your Kharma will catch up with you at some point and ruin the rest of your life. Quit stalking my family, friends, and clients.

Wow you simply refuse to accept reality. The $21M is EMCIDs bonds for all their public projects like Libraries, Facilities for the general public, business parks, infrastructure and yes $6M Paid to the former developer to pay for his advance expenses for creating and proving the business case to be presented to the capital markets. The information is still being used and the project is back on track to come to fruition hopefully early in 2015. Per their agreement the developer will repay the $6M plus interest. The tools I created for my fees are being used in other projects as well such as the other amusement park moving forward. So I know EMCID sees my value as they they have written me two letters of reference of their satisfaction with my work. Not once mentioning any buyers remorse for my services.

And no one wants to talk about the $2.5 million in cash expenditures made by EMCID for “other” expenses related to EarthQuest. The EMCID out of pocket is now around 3 million according to Channel 2 Investigates.

For the southeast Montgomery County taxpayers there will be ay least 21,000,000 “whys” over the next 28 years, when the last payment of this bond is paid by the citizens.

That is $21,000,000.00 for Earthquest alone!!! Holbrook cannot get his facts straight!

Soapboxmom again mixes her opinion in as an attempt at being valid but again she has asserted opinion for fact.

EMCID was well aware of the risk and perils of investing their $6M into EarthQuest as a game changing alternative to their economic development. The board of directors voted and accepted that risk in open meetings. They were never deceived about it by me or any of our development team consultants.

Fact: Holbrook advised them to take the land as a guarantee source of repayment the board decided not to tie the developers hands by doing so. Holbrook designed the entire incentive strategy and suggested that they require the repayment of the bond expense as proof of financial capabilities from any developer they accept. They have done that.

Fact: They have created a huge economic windfall by using Holbrook designed incentives to attract Grand Texas amusement park. This economic impact will cover any risk they had related to EarthQuest. Now when EarthQuest builds they will double their ROI. So their risk has already paid off in positive development beyond their exposure. 






Marlin Atlantis had huge loans on the land they were having trouble paying. Did Holbrook bother to check the free county land records to see if Marlin Atlantis owned the land free and clear? For such a high paid consultant it seems some very basic homework was not done!

Holbrook blew it up and had a hand in every pie. His LLCs raked in more than 1.2 million from this taxpayer tragedy.

It is time for transparency and accountability! Investigative reporting is not stalking! The citizens of East Montgomery County will suffer with this tragedy for years to come.

You're the most obnoxious waste of humanity You really can't handle that most everyone disagrees with you. You are simply wrong... Huge Mega projects take time and are always filled with risks and ups and downs. This project survived the most difficult economic recession of our lifetimes and is still moving forward. Once it is finally funded and operational I wonder what fault you'll find then? You have no economic development experience and really are ignorant of matters. No project tells their moves in public forums it is bad business. They present the required information at required public meetings. So once this is successful everyone will see what type person you really are... You won't admit your wrong even when it is obvious. You can bet the newspapers won't retract their stupid coverage I'll bet either, but that does not make them correct or valid.

Holbrook and Chris Brown keep painting this as a private business matter. It is a project that thus far has been funded with millions of tax dollars spent on extravagant dinners at Chez Nous, Houston Rockets tickets, tours of theme parks across the world and more money wasted entertaining Holbrook and company and various apparently nefarious public officials.

The public has every right to know the real status of the project!

Soapboxmom again mixes her opinion in as an attempt at being valid but again she has asserted opinion for fact.

EMCID was well aware of the risk and perils of investing their $6M into EarthQuest as a game changing alternative to their economic development. The board of directors voted and accepted that risk in open meetings. They were never deceived about it by me or any of our development team consultants.

Fact: Holbrook advised them to take the land as a guarantee source of repayment the board decided not to tie the developers hands by doing so. Holbrook designed the entire incentive strategy and suggested that they require the repayment of the bond expense as proof of financial capabilities from any developer they accept. They have done that.

Fact: They have created a huge economic windfall by using Holbrook designed incentives to attract Grand Texas amusement park. This economic impact will cover any risk they had related to EarthQuest. Now when EarthQuest builds they will double their ROI. So their risk has already paid off in positive development beyond their exposure.

Why would any competent professional suggest the land be used a collateral when the developers, Marlin Atlantis, didn't own the property outright? Marlin Atlantis was having trouble paying the nut on the land, which an Earthquest insider disclosed to me in April 2011. So, the land was about to land in foreclosure at that point. Frank McCrady kept throwing tax money at Marlin Atlantis in a desperate attempt to hang on to the property, but it was lost in a bankruptcy declared in 2011 by Marlin Atlantis for their entity (Whitestone) that owned the property.

Holbrook could have checked the records and ascertained who actually owned the property. He didn't do his homework.

That bankruptcy was also kept secret from the taxpayers until the incredible Cynthia Calvert exposed it. Holbrook sued her and her publication for it and was laughed out of court.

Please allow me to clarify. The them is only the Houston Press and their ace reporter and my good bud, Craig Malisow. Holbrook was chasing Malisow around trying to serve him for the lawsuit in Ohio. Holbrook claimed Malisow was the lynchpin in his whole theory of everyone conspiring against him (he just sounds a wee bit delusional with that one.) Then poof the Houston Press and Craig Malisow were dropped from the case. A very surprising development as Holbrook blamed Malisow's February 29, 2012 phone call to Huber Heights city official for his problems. That "strange phone call" was the focus of Holbrook's wrath. Malisow was simply busy researching his incredible expose on the Earthquest "Fantasy Land".

Fantasy Land | Houston Press (http://www.houstonpress.com/2012-04-12/news/earthquest-green-amusement-park/full/)

The Tribune, Cynthia Calvert and I were sharing a fabulous legal team including lawyers from Texas and Ohio that are top litigators. We sought and were immediately granted dismissal from Holbrook's fruitcake third-party suit. The Tribune, Calvert and I never discussed settlement with that nutcase attorney Holbrook was using and we would have never agreed to remove, retract or apologize for anything we published.

And, as the journalists uncovered, you did not create 50,000 jobs with 100s of projects worth billions due to your work as an economic developer. Much of that had absolutely nothing to do with your development work. You were on a government sponsored loan committee. LOL!!!!

But you have fraudulently claimed to your clients:

"Don A. Holbrook, Certified Economic Developer, (CEcD) Don Holbrook is a private practitioner involved in the major elements of site location analysis for major private sector investment projects. He specializes in public backed inducements and incentives that reduce the risk of new business investments. He has worked on over 100 projects representing over 1 billion dollars in public capital investment generating more than 50,000 jobs in his 17 years in the profession."

Holbrook claims to have "worked on over 100 projects representing over $1 billion...in capital investment, generating more than 50,000 jobs in his nearly 20 years in the profession." Profession = Economic Developer.

Approving loans is not at all the same thing as actually working on the project personally and being involved as an economic developer on these 100s of projects in question.

Here is the current CDC board

Board of Directors



Officers:





Rick Benito of Bank of America
Board Chair








Bill Sommer of OneWest Bank
Immediate Past Chair








Joan Earhart of Pacific Mercantile Bank

Tyler Orion of CONNECT Foundation

Steve Stultz

So, to recap:

Serving on this board in no way is a result of his prowess as an economic developer. Folks from all walks of life sit on that board and decide on loans. He is a chair warmer. It is totally dishonest to lead clients to believe his skills as an economic developer led to 50,000 jobs being created or the billions in capital generated.

http://www.realscam.com/f11/don-allen-holbrook-iedc-rogue-member-next-america-moving-beyond-fragile-economy-1240/index32.html#post29319

"Holbrook was fired in 1998 for resume fraud. He did his best at his termination hearing to explain why he did not have the degrees, trying to deflect the blame onto internal problems at La Salle University in Louisiana. But it remains he did not have the degrees at the time of hire...It's an economic decision...The misrepresentation of his educational background was ammunition enough to dismiss Holbrook. But his education credentials represented only the tip of a pile of shenanigans promulgated by Holbrook. A blurring of the line between Port Authority business and personal business, badgering of clients, acting as a self-promoter who put personal priorities above community interests - all these allegations dogged Holbrook and have resurfaced in light of the proposed lawsuit settlement.

Holbrook rendered himself ineffective by his own doing, and the Port Authority took the appropriate steps to get rid of him - period."

So, they paid out Holbrook's termination and legal fees to be rid of him as cheaply and quickly as possible. If Red Wing had prevailed Holbrook would likely have proven to be a pauper and uncollectable.

I am not aware of any other court cases where he was awarded damages or an "excellent settlement." And, as usual I am the only one providing written documentation. He is simply a litigious threatening goon. In his 2007 chapter 7 bankruptcy he wrote off 1.29 million in legal fees. Then the slug screwed another lawyer (one who worked on Earthquest) in his 2011 bankruptcy. I wonder if the nut that sued me got her fees paid by Holbrook? 
More nails in the Earthquest coffin.

The "type" who would sh** in his own nest and screw his own future, just so long as he thinks he is seen to be "right"

Goodness knows what he is doing to his future by engaging in the sort of childish insult behaviour/s he's been exhibitingsince the trough was removed.

Holbrook, Mr Litigious, didn't sue that paper 14 years ago. Since their reporting was not challenged, we must take it at face value and assume that it is fact and opinion. I can't see how discussing facts from mainstream newspaper reports, court documents and more in any way constitutes fantasy. 
One has to wonder if his wife is going to take him in to get evaluated judging from the fact he now thinks quoting mainstream media constitutes fantasy.

Shut up you misleading fool. I sued the responsible party the paper printed their apology. I'm done defending against your fantasy lynching. Have an awful life and really seek mental illness help. I'm just glad your husband has such a nice job. I'm sure you'll File bankruptcy once I win my coming law suit against you. Kharma bitch bites hard.


Soapboxmom has been on this clown like flies on a turd! The taxpayers are going to demand a new holiday in Texas! We have serious campaigning to do!

Don H. from Don Allen Holbrook, LLC replied to this review on January 29, 2015:
This is not a client of mine. Their statement is completely false. I believe it is related to a cyber stalker woman named Heather Dobrott AKA Soapboxmom who has been maliciously stalking me, defaming my name and reputation and she has no valid information other than her own fairytale version of her own warped perspective. I apologize for my many fans and clients that have had to sort past her and her little minions of thugs that bully people online. I have never had any personal or professional dealings with her or her cronies, other than to send her a cease and desist order to warn her to stop lying about my background. Her only desire is to maliciously harm my livelihood. This person is more than likely related to Soapboxmom (Heather Dobrott)


This review appears on Thumbtack and was posted after my own scathing review. I am not Jo. I did not write that. Court records are public. I posted and commented on Holbrook's 2 bankruptcies here. Jo is obviously very bright! Jo is one of a humongous number of taxpayers across the net that have commented on Holbrook's shenanigans. Kudos to Jo!

Posting = Cyberstalking? Mainstream media coverage = fairytale???

More mainstream news coverage of Holbrook's project's that went nowhere! So, he hasn't had anything come to fruition that I am aware of since 2006. At that point he had been fired as the economic developer in Red Wing in 1998, not renewed in Lake Havasu and then fired from his position in Wayne, Indiana. He sure didn't silence the Pahrump Valley Times with his frivolous lawsuit against them for their earlier reporting of his antics.

Motivational & Keynote Event Speaker - Don Allen Holbrook, LLC - Las Vegas, NV (http://ourtribune.com/article.php?id=13295)


Question and answer


Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. Site Location evaluation for new facilities, economic incentive negotiations and project feasibility in specific locales .
A hand in every pie to be sure!

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Hire me I'm the recognized thought leader in this field of work and I get paid only when my clients are successful.

I call BS on that one. He made 1.2 million off of the Earthquest mega-destination theme park. (http://ourtribune.com/article.php?id=13545) He was paid by the originator of the concept (http://www.ourtribune.com/article.php?id=13409), the public entity, the developer, the defunct charity (http://www.realscam.com/f14/earthquest-institute-fraud-continues-don-allen-holbrook-ceo-2349/) and more. The project only exists on paper. The taxpayers are out 3 million already spent plus 21 million in bonds that must be satisfied whether the project comes to fruition or not. Holbrook makes a fortune doing studies and more all for naught (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7p87mAVhJRc). What success? He hasn't had any project since 2006 come to fruition that I am aware of.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. All cities, states, provinces and local governments provide economic assistance to legitimate business opportunities. These economic incentives generally can amount to approximately 15% to 25% of the total project cost.

The art of negotiating such deals is not something someone with no pedigree in this industry should try to undertake. The economic development field is a professional practitioner based society and thus very receptive to their own cadre in such negotiations . I am a former international board member, published author and highly recognized subject matter expert in this field of work. That is bull. Many public entities will offer incentives, but most are not willing to risk tax dollars for pipe dreams. They work with established companies with an established history of success knowing exactly what business will come in and the likelihood of it being successful and bringing jobs in.


Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

A. You need to be serious about your pursuit of the project and have the financial capacity to do all elements of deal due diligence not just pay my upfront feasibility fee. While most of my work is performance based it is not contingent upon your own ability to raise funds. My work enhances your financing to increase your ROI and reduce upfront financial risks. All projects have various other elements of due diligence that involve other professionals that will most likely require payment for their services upon completion of their own tasks, as do I.He got paid tens of thousands in Huber Heights, Ohio and then they sued him. (http://blogs.houstonpress.com/news/2012/05/earthquests_don_holbrook_sued_huber_heights.php) Pahrump, Nevada paid tens of thousands of dollars for naught and the taxpayers in Texas are out millions for the non-existent theme park from hell. (http://blogs.houstonpress.com/news/2014/03/earthquest_chris_brown_contour.php) Previously he was fired from his economic developer jobs in Red Wing, Minnesota and Richmond, Indiana and not renewed in Lake Havasu (http://ourtribune.com/article.php?id=13295). His career has been mired in controversy since 1996.


Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. Exceptional performance based consultant with proven results that matter to my clients.
More like 19 years of economic disasters as noted above.


Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. The finalization of the project and watching a project come to fruition.
What project has come to fruition in years and years???


Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. How are you compensated?

1.) initial fee for project feasibility generally 1 day of work with recommendation of potential financial value and feasibility of gaining approval of business capitalization economic incentives. Fee is generally $1500-$2500 depending on the complexity of the project.

2. Paid 5% of the economic incentive value upon approval by appropriate jurisdictional party. 50% upon acceptance and 50% at first funding escrow.

3.) speaking fee for events is $3500 which includes travel to the event from Las Vegas and within the continental USA. International travel is paid by the client. Clients are responsible for lodging, meals and local transportation in all cases domestic and/or international.

Why would anyone give him 5% of the money needed for a project. That is highway robbery and could amount to tens of thousands or even millions of dollars. He hasn't made squat in years as he declared chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2007 writing off almost 2 million in debt including 1.29 million in legal fees alone. Litigious goon??? He then declared bankruptcy again in 2011.

Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?

A. I negotiated a $520M incentive package for a client opening a new project in Texas commencing in 2014. One of the largest economic incentive packages in Texas and USA.
That Earthquest mega-international destination theme park is completely dead in the water. No financing has been secured and the property has not been purchased. The public entity has taken that scam off of its agendas until such time as Holbrook and the new developer come in with checks and contracts in hand. Holbrook has lied about that project to other entities he has been trying to sell his nonsense to. He told Pahrump officials that the property was being purchased (http://www.pahrumpnv.org/images/uploads/downloads/110614_Backup3.pdf) and that Earthquest would break ground by the first quarter of 2012. That was one of many dates that have come and gone.

Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

A. It is a closed society of highly educated professionals.
Holbrook is off the the board for the International Economic Development Council and is no longer even a member of this professional organization.


Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?

A. Started at a young age after graduation on the public sector side negotiating and deciding on public economic Inventives for the local governments.


Q. Tell us about a recent job you did that you are particularly proud of.

A. EarthQuest Texas theme park and research center for new clean energy based sources that can be used in major commercial developments.

This billion dollar nightmare is only on paper and has been exposed in scathing articles by the Houston Press (http://www.houstonpress.com/2012-04-12/news/earthquest-green-amusement-park/), The (http://www.ourtribune.com/article.php?id=13452) Tribune (http://ourtribune.com/article.php?id=13295)and Channel 2 (http://www.click2houston.com/news/Where-is-Houston-s-replacement-for-Astroworld/17132434) Investigates (http://www.click2houston.com/news/Where-is-Houston-s-replacement-for-Astroworld-Part-2/17141626).

Q. Do you do any sort of continuing education to stay up on the latest developments in your field?

A. Certified Economic Developer and Master Business Consultant.


Q. Describe your most recent project, what it involved, how much it cost, and how long it took.

A. Earthquest is a $1B investment in Texas with total job impact of 20,000 from all tiers of economic impact.
Earthquest is nothing but fancy drawings and a silly little model that used to sit at the EMCID offices. It has cost the taxpayers 3 million plus the 21 million in bonds that must be satisfied whether it is built or not. It has created no jobs. It has caused many businesses and families to face financial ruin as their hotels, RV park and other small businesses failed when the park did not come in as promised years ago. Earthquest started out as a great little interactive dinosaur museum. Don Holbrook blew it up into this colossal disaster it is today.

Q. If you were advising someone who wanted to get into your profession, what would you suggest?

A. It's very difficult unless you have done time and gained experience from both sides of the negotiating table.


Q. What is your greatest strength?

A. Dynamic and visionary deal structurer with a tenacity of getting greater economic value for my clients than they had thought possible. I generally exceed my clients performance expectations!
The 19 years of firings and failures is documented above. What client could possibly be saying that Holbrook exceeded their expectations??? Holbrook is tenacious about threatening and attacking any person or publication that dares publish the truth about his shenanigans. That we can say for certain.

Q. What are you currently working on improving?

A. Marketing my services to more private sector business owners and executive management teams.
I can't imagine any legitimate company, entity or business person touching this very verbose, litigious goon with a ten foot pole. His reputation has been ruined by his own antics. I am going to forward this to Thumbtack and demand they remove his fraudulent solicitation.

[Whip]

A. Hire me I'm the recognized thought leader in this field of work and I get paid only when my clients are successful.

I had to stop reading here. What a ******* liar.

[laidback]

Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?

A. Started at a young age after graduation on the public sector side negotiating and deciding on public economic Inventives for the local governments.
Is this a massive Freudian slip or what? He must have meant incentives. Or, then again, maybe not...!

Nobody least of all me owes you any rebuttal or explanation of our activities.


You have no facts to support your position and I won't debate a fool.


You're just pathetic I can't waste anymore time answering your opinion blog.


I'm done defending against your fantasy lynching.


I'm done having fun with your silly conjecture.


I'm done having this dialog


I'm done debating you online.

Holbrook is sure doing a bad job at not rebutting and not debating.

When is he ever going to stop?

His comments remind me of the scumbag scammers who come to realscam and say "This is my final post" but they keep coming back over and over. Funny how they're all the same . . . they just can't resist the temptation to lie and make fools of themselves.

Well, I live in New Caney, I am outraged that, we the taxpayers of this community are paying for a project that does not seem to have any steam to get off the ground. I have been hearing about this project since 2006, here we are in 2015 and still nothing. I remember that beautiful billboard with this amazing park on display which announced the opening year, then it was changed, and now it's all faded, just like the project.
I hope Don, Frank, Marlin, and well the rest of the EMCID members had a blast on our money! It appears two of them love to spend other people's money.

I came across this site through my own research, along with the other sites, and I honestly am appalled by all of this. I do not give a hell of beans about who you are, who you think you are, or McCrady for that matter, all I care about is why you and McCrady think it's okay to take tax payers dollars and squander it. If you haven't squander the money, then where is the project or where is the update on the project. I believe a county judge said it best, "Put up or shut up!"

Economic Life Coaching

Many people have developed a money mindset that is simply a toxic formula for their continued failure to achieve the quality of life that they desire. They have unrealistic expectations that are not rooted in the foundation of their own abilities. Becoming successful, satisfied and happy is a mindset that only the participant can create, maintain and utilize. The skill or art of creating this type of mindset is much more simple than most might suspect. The most critical element is to know what your desired success actually is so that you can create a realistic roadmap to get there. Next you have to design the roadmap and then fly the mission. The cloud or fog of uncertainty is the most daunting of this process. Secondary to that is getting advice from someone that has experience in dealing with these type matters but is not biased on their recommendation… I call folks that are recommending based on their own sidebar or affinity monetary agreement (Singing for their Supper.) They are recommending products and services based on their desire for you to purchase them from them or someone they get a direct or indirect monetary reward for marketing their products or services to you for purchase.

What does an Economic Life Coach do that makes it different and unique? I provide you with a full assessment in easy to understand written format as to what you need to address and why and how to do so. This includes an Economic SWOT (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis of your current situation. It also includes a basic primer executive summary on your stated problems and current methods or lack of methods for dealing with them and a recommendation for how to progress and move forward. This can include the following subjects for inclusion:
Career Goals
Debt Reduction
Equity Creation in your Home
Retirement Planning
Catastrophic Life Event Coverage
Asset Preservation Considerations
Starting Your Own Business Considerations

The basic service is as follows;
A one hour and a half (90 minute) session face to face meeting or via the Phone if it is long distance (outside the Las Vegas market) with a full written follow up that will be sent to you once the SWOT and recommendation executive summary is created and available for your review. $375.00
Follow-up Review to determine implementation strategies and modifications to current methods based on the participants level of comfort and willingness to proceed. This session can be face to face if in the Las Vegas marketplace or via the phone. Each session is scheduled for approximately thirty minutes (30). Each follow up session is $125.00

All fees are paid prior to the service being given. Any requested services beyond this scope are billed at $250.00 per hour.

What??? Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2007 writing off almost 2 million in debt including 1.29 million in legal fees. 2011 brought a chapter 11 bankruptcy where he screwed his creditors again and is paying only pennies on the dollar. Did I mention a decade of failed projects, fired from 2 economic developer positions and not renewed for a third before that. And, who would have anything to do with a litigious blowhard? He is in no way qualified to give any such advice and recommendations! Hang on to your pocketbooks and run!!!

Been awhile, friends. One would have to assume Sir Talks-a-Lot has no friends much less business associates left. If he did, he, she, (or it) would recommend he immediately remove both hooves from the pie-hole just underneath his snout. Just how deep IS the mud in his pen out in the desert? Come ON, Windbag, if your not going to do it for yourself, at least do it for your son at the Academy. I would think the military would look at the ol' family gene pool in considering any promotion that would require someone of sound mind. Seems as though Lard Ass's is turning to mush. I can just hear junior's superiors saying something to the effect of " Look at all the driveling crap coming out of dude's dad's pie-hole, we'd better not promote him to anything beyond Lt. Dan rowing Bubba Gump's shrimpboat"

Why do I type the things I do about Lard-Ass? Because the 9th Curcuit Court of Appeals said I can. Me, Buzz, Woody, and the gang (you'd have to go a long way back to reference my co-horts) are guaranteed the right to free speech while maintaining a check on corruption by individuals wasting tax dollars. Speaking of Woody, he heard one of the Raisin Guys (through the grapevine) Webster's is seriously considering putting the word dirtbag in their publication. No definition, just that picture of Sir Talks-a-Lot smoking a cigar which no doubt some unsuspecting taxpayer paid for. Either them or some dumb-ass who paid 25K for a timeshare they could have purchased through the time-share clearinghouse for $500.00.

It also helped when Sir Talks-a-Lot posted the crap he did on the Underground, even going as far as suggesting me and Soapboxmom were having an affair. Well, I can assure ya'll this, if I were, at least I'd have the common decency to pay her charges at Victoria's Secret, or Frederick's of Hollywood, (or whoever it was that got **** on in his bankruptcy). Ah, why does it matter? In another couple a years, if he keeps going the way he is, Fat A$$'ll be shopping for Laurie's undies in the free-giveaway barrel at Goodwill.:RpS_smile:

Building Your Wealth Foundation

Posted on March 5, 2015 (https://donallenholbrook.wordpress.com/2015/03/05/building-your-wealth-foundation/) by economicdeveloper (https://donallenholbrook.wordpress.com/author/economicdeveloper/) Standard (https://donallenholbrook.wordpress.com/2015/03/05/building-your-wealth-foundation/)
part 1:
You must recognize that in order to become financially wealthy you must have more cash than debts. Building debt is not a wealth strategy, especially if used for non-performing assets.


Translation: Don't throw money at Contour Entertainment and Don Holbrook for pipe-dreams on paper. Their projects drain the taxpayers leaving them out tens of thousands or as much as millions upon millions. Contour and Holbrook don't come in with real projects that have investors or established companies behind them. They just keep dipping in the trough of taxpayers dollars selling fantasies. These projects on paper are definitely non-performing assets! God help the Texas taxpayers that must satisfy 21 million in bonds!

Had Holbrook inserted an "a" and dropped the "ets" from the last sentence in his post, he would have described himself to a tee. The last sentence SHOULD have read - Building debt is not a wealth strategy, especially if used for a non-performing ass.

Of course, this wouldn't describe whomever that was dancing on Frank McCrady's table, drunk off the sweat of EMC taxpayers.

From 100s of successfull projects worth billions that generated 50,000 jobs (a legand in his own mind) to hawking cheap T-shirts! :loser:

[Whip]

There was a new History Channel documentary on Templars the other day. I was shocked.........SHOCKED I TELL YOU that the gasbag was not referenced in it. how can they make something like that without his input? LMAO!
his desperation to try and be something other than the shitbag conman he is, is hilarious. He should hook up with anal kiernan.

Good news. According to Geppetto's calculations, with just one more lie, Sir Lies-a-Lot will no longer have to hawk t-shirts and timeshares to make a decent living, and get a good tan to boot while doing so. All's he has to do is find a beach down in the Florida Keys, lay his head in the sand and face South. No longer will Cubans have to tie bags of coconuts or bundles of sugar cane together to float over here on. Lard-a$$ could charge 50 bucks a head to use that schnoz as a wooden pier. :RpS_smile:

[Soapboxmom]

Don Allen Holbrook in no way represents that values the Knights hold dear:


its members apply themselves energetically and selflessly to Christian charitable endeavors.

We are a modern Christian Order of Knighthood dedicated to:

Seeking God in our lives and promoting love and respect for our community.
Increasing understanding between religions, helping pilgrims visit holy places, and maintaining a Christian presence in the Holy Land.
Supporting the poor, sick, and unjustly accused; standing against oppression, and protecting freedom of speech.
Encouraging the noble ideas of Chivalry; maintaining the monuments, archives, and history of the Knights Templar.
Our guiding lights are the virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity, through which members aspire to serve faithfully as Knights of God's Temple.

Don Allen Holbrook is advertising this disgusting filth on his Twitter again:

I am going to be attending a few of the events in relationship to Business Facilities magazine’s Live Xchange conference for site location opportunities to meet local economic developers. I will be taking part in the Tuesday morning Site Location Panel for their audience to discuss with me the current trends of Tourism Economic Development and the positive impact such projects can have on locales.

I wrote an article in the March/April 2015 edition of Expansion Solutions regarding the Tourism Economic Development Industry and how it can transform local economies into major economic growth engines. Expansion Solutions Magazine - 030415_Tourism (http://www.expansionsolutionsmagazine.com/030415_tourism)

Over-all the economic outlook for Tourism projects in 2015 is much stronger than the previous five years. Investors and companies alike are once again making significant investments into these cash cows.

Another episode of Gasbag the party crasher. That idiot was not hired to speak!

[laidback]

You may have misunderstood, Mom. His taking part in the panel is a supportive role...janitor or privy cleaner or whatever.Hiring him to speak would be a lot like using a beached whale for a room freshener!!!

[pantherdadX2]

Hey, when are ya'll going to lay off lardass? 50,000 tax-payers of East Montgomery, Texas are hard at work paying off the bond debt related to his most successful project to date.

((WARNING)) Thoust' might get trampled by the hoards of Sir Talks-a-Lots brethren in a rush to build awareness of his latest roll of toilet pape.......errrr, book.

Please feel free to take note of the Blubberistic Blob's favorite mantras, "You don't have to buy anything" and "Pretty easy, no work required"

[Soapboxmom]

Said Blubberistic Blob and Lord of the Internet is not paying the nut on his Lake Havasu vacation home. The Breach of Condition was filed on May 27th:
10940

It is high time that goon who has screwed creditors out of over 2 million in 2 bankruptcies have his lifestyle of the Rich and Infamous ended. His wife dresses like a movie star whilst the creditors just get screwed.

[pantherdadX2]

I'm quite sure some of the 50,000 or so taxpayers Captain Infamous put to work down here paying off his and Frank the Bank's lifestyles will be devastated by this news. There is good news for Gasbag, however. We have a semi-private room reserved for him at the world-class vacation resort located at 1 Criminal Justice Dr. located in Conroe should he and Laurie decide to stick their snouts in the trough down here again.:RpS_wink:

author coaching


As many of you know I spent the last few months coaching and working with several people in the development of their first book idea. It was an true learning experience for me. I had a pretty good test group three women and three men. In the end, I feel the time was well spent. My biggest problem is that I regretfully do not have enough time to spend on properly coaching these folks any further. I do wish them all the best and I of course will remain supportive and available to answer any questions they may have so that they can see their idea through to fruition.

If I could offer one suggestion to any would be author… it is as follows. You have to put in the work and effort to learn how to write and express yourself. Your story and idea is one that is very special to you. It must be that passion that drives you. If the end product is you just want to have a book written so you can acclaim to being an author there are many services that will do that for you. Those efforts are generally pretty pricey and can get quite expensive. In the end, if you do not put forth the effort of writing you will not truly learn the art and nature of being a real author.

An author pours their heart and soul into their work and uses the pen (keyboard) to express those passionate ideas. It must be owned by you. Coaching allowed me to find out and truly appreciate my profession of being an author. It also taught me that being a patient teacher is not something I am well suited for.

I have found great joy in assisting two others in getting their work published. I have given copious notes to many budding authors… that is something I do enjoy, hence the reason I wrote the book on how to get published, now in it’s 2nd edition.

I thank all of you for your patience in working with me these past few months and I do wish you all great outcomes in your adventure in realizing your goals and dreams.

Somehow I can't see them becoming collectors items any time soon

[pantherdadX2]

I'll give it a week before FartBlossum inserts the inevitable (( ONLY ONE LEFT!!! )) under the t-shirt in his last-ditch effort to sell one before everyone wheels their empty carts away. Look on the bright side, shoppers. There'll be plenty of free **** in the give-away bin shortly. Everyone needs extra ass-wipes (his unsold books) and car-buffing pads (unsold t-shirts). Personally, I wouldn't buff my ass with either.

Wait a minute..... Gasbag can't pay his creditors in full and is constantly filing bankruptcies having already written off around 2 million and isn't paying the nut on his house, but he can afford a tropical paradise vacation??? This creep should be in the gray bar hotel!

It's quite possible Laurie and Alyssa weren't out on the town at all. Given FartBlossom's rank on Amazon's best-seller list, they could have posed for a picture before asking the occupants of that limo to roll down the window before explaining to them that they were working late so they wouldn't get kicked out of the Motel 6 for non-payment.

Just tweeted back and forth with a reporter from Houston who had been covering Earthquest. That dear man thought it was on track. I told him that his friends were giving the scammers a free pass. Earthquest was a scam to line the pockets of Holbrook and company from the get go. The media needs to skewer these clowns and demand that McCrady be fired. Enough is enough!

Making death threats is sure to frighten off any investors. He can forget his fantasies of movie stardom.

[fjjm303]

Well, I guess I should be excited. Are we all going to be in his new FRICTIONAL BOOK. It does sound like a veiled death threat. But being only 70 miles from the Asshole makes me even more excited. Since he scammed 250,000 dollars from the Town of Pahrump for a report of a project that would never make it here. He has just faded away. What he does not know that his veiled threats can be considered terrorist threats. Being retired from Law Enforcement and just qualified again for my HR 218 carry card, I truly wait for the Music Man to make his move? Exciting to have a surprise waiting for me. My radio station, KPFV 98.1 FM will be up and running soon. The Music man will get a lot of air time, if he tries anything at all here.

:scared_1: :NO:

[littleroundman]

Holbrook just can't seem to get it through his head the era of unfettered "snout-in-the-public-purse-trough" is over.

If his life is "ruined" he did it himself by failing to realize in time the jig was up and, even if they wanted to, communities like the one in Pahrump can no longer afford the extravagances that follow non productive fast talkers like Holbrook and his fellow bandits.

Mark Description:
The mark consists of "The Ninth Templar" above a graphic design depicting the following in detail: A Templar flared cross in the mid-background with two swords crossed behind the cross. One sword is Arabic/Saracen medieval design and the other sword is a crusader sword with a Japanese style point with single edge. The center of the cross depicts a pyramid with an eye in the center. To the left of the cross and crossed swords is a single hooked nail that runs the length of the distance of the sword and crossed swords with dripping blood running down the nail to a pool of blood at the bottom point of the nail. The nail has a two headed dragon intwined around it to form the infinity sign with the top of the twin dragons looking at each other with tongues extended. The nail has a key inset two thirds of the way down extruding to the left that has a cross inset into the key attached to the nail. To the top of the logo cross there are two knights on one horse one carrying a spear and the other holding a chalice. The words Veritas Vos Liberabit below.

Mark Description:
The mark consists of "The Ninth Templar" above a graphic design depicting the following in detail: A Templar flared cross in the mid-background with two swords crossed behind the cross. One sword is Arabic/Saracen medieval design and the other sword is a crusader sword with a Japanese style point with single edge. The center of the cross depicts a pyramid with an eye in the center. To the left of the cross and crossed swords is a single hooked nail that runs the length of the distance of the sword and crossed swords with dripping blood running down the nail to a pool of blood at the bottom point of the nail. The nail has a two headed dragon intwined around it to form the infinity sign with the top of the twin dragons looking at each other with tongues extended. The nail has a key inset two thirds of the way down extruding to the left that has a cross inset into the key attached to the nail. To the top of the logo cross there are two knights on one horse one carrying a spear and the other holding a chalice. The words Veritas Vos Liberabit below.

Soapbox-Momster is an very poorly written thinly veiled autobiography of author, Don A. Holbrook and his plans to murder me for protecting the taxpayers:

[Soapboxmom]

I bought it to confirm that it was in fact non-fiction, an autobiography of failed developer Don Holbrook and also a death threat against me. He is desperate for revenge and totally out of touch with reality as this book proves.

Luxury watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre is known around the globe for their heritage of invention, creativity and technical skill.


Since Don Allen Holbrook says my husband "plays dumb to his wife's activity." Then I assume we should be asking whether his wife who claims to be an expert in public relations is playing dumb about Holbrook's activities.

I suspect the high end watch store will not appreciate the antics going on and will not want to be associated with that.

[fjjm303]

Ok, whip, just saying being a retired investigator and without reading the book(which I would not waste my money on) and Soapbox description. I would have to say not evidence. But I would still love for lardass to come to Pahrump which is only 45 miles from the **** hole he lives in. And start **** with me. Enough said??

[fjjm303]

You forgot to add to her knowledge list: being an ass wiping for her lard ass husband. Being a phony. Being a liar about her bankruptcy. etc., etc., and etc..

Subject: Re: Formal Complaint Against IEDC CEcD and Fellow Member Don Allen Holbrook Part 1

Dear Ms. Dobrott,

In doing my preliminary review I've discovered that Don Holbrook's membership and CEcD status lapsed a few years ago. He is no longer a member of IEDC (and therefore no longer a Fellow Member) and no longer holds the CEcD designation. We currently have no relationship with Don Holbrook and so cannot put this case in front of our Committee on Professional Conduct.

Best regards,

Since Holbrook is now officially without any economic developer credentials the lying buffoon's career is finished. There is nothing left for the IEDC to take away from him.

Reputable, excellent services like Thumbtack don't tolerate resume fraud. Don Allen Holbrook is not a Certified Economic Developer and Earthquest doesn't exist.

[pantherdadX2]

EarthQuest doesn't exist? I beg to differ, Soapboxmom. Think back a few years. You know, after one of the last alcohol-fueled "think tanks" that took place at Froggy's (Frank McCrady's) launching pad. Buzz, Woody and the gang, along with Laurie and Lard-Ass found EarthQuest on the dark side of the moon.

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, you would have to go back a few years. As a tax-paying citizen of the area near where EarthQuest was to be built, me and that POS went back and forth after I and anyone who commented in a negative way towards this failed project and huge waste of taxpayer money. My comments were specifically designed to piss him off as he pissed off quite a few taxpayers, and piss him off it did. He can call it cyber-bullying or whatever the f he wants to, ask me if I give a rats a$$. He could end his own life and it wouldn't bother me a bit if he thinks his life has been destroyed by others, truth is, alls he has to do is look in the mirror and he'll see the light as to where the blame lies. It would be a start and one less name on the long list of scumbags who rape tax-payers on a daily basis.

In all actuality, pantherdadx2 would prefer to never see anyone take his or her own life, but rather they turn their life around in a positive way. Highly doubt that'll happen with Sir Talks-a-Lot, though.

[Soapboxmom]

Thanks for bringing this to our attention Heather. Can’t say I am surprised by this. We all suspected he was shady, but for a while he was a board member of IEDC so I guess we assumed he was on the up and up.

All the best,


Hi Heather,

Your concerns about Mr. Holbrook have been escalated here to me in the Marketplace Integrity department. I am so very thankful you brought this to our attention so that we could take appropriate action.

As his credentials are inaccurate and his profile has not been used to solicit clients, I deactivated it.

Thank you again,

Holbrook is being blacklisted and delisted across the net. Resume fraud, including using credentials one doesn't have and writing books and posts about projects that do not exist, will not be tolerated by reputable entities.


Dear Ms. Dobrott,

In doing my preliminary review I've discovered that Don Holbrook's membership and CEcD status lapsed a few years ago. He is no longer a member of IEDC (and therefore no longer a Fellow Member) and no longer holds the CEcD designation.

Did anyone actually read past the first excerpt? Couldn't get past the first and I'm STILL laughing my ass off. Lard-Ass needs to re-file that book-o-butt-wipes under comedy.

Don Allen Holbrook, the resume fraud king, who is not a Certified Economic Developer, Fellow Member or PhD, is still posting this ridiculous letter from Frank McCrady. When McCrady, the clueless hick, wrote this he thought Earthquest was a sure thing. Even though the land was in bankruptcy and the developers were shown to be the lying paupers I already knew they were, McCrady was bragging to everyone that Earthquest was a when and not an if and a gift. That liar McCrady was hiding the bankruptcy on the land from the taxpayers. Cynthis Calvert exposed that fraud almost a year later in January 2012.

Holbrook was telling McCrady what a genius he was and what a hero would be when Earthquest was built. McCrady kept spending thousands of dollars paying this dubious consultant for a project that was nothing more than a scam. Holbrook had blown Don Lessem's interactive dino museum up into the theme park from hell. Holbrook was being paid by the originator, the developer, the designer, the East Montgomery County Improvement District and the fraudulent charity set up to promote the for profit theme park and more. Holbrook had a hand in every pie of this dirty deal.

In 2012 Cynthia Calvert in the Tribune, Craig Malisow in the Houston Press, and numerous bloggers and I exposed this scam and the scammer-in-chief, Holbrook. Holbrook and his LLCs raked in at least 1.2 million dollars. The Texas taxpayers are out 24 million for bupkis. The East Montgomery County Improvement District stopped funding the Earthquest scam and paying Holbrook in the summer of 2012. I spoke to a board member recently and Holbrook will never be invited back or paid a dime after his antics.

That silly letter would only be useful if used as toilet tissue.

The Holbrook's don't think they should have to pay for car insurance. Yet they constantly spend lavishly and live the lifestyle of the rich and famous. No respect for the law whatsoever!

Don Allen Holbrook's melting online again. He could have sued me and all the vicious bloggers he has been whimpering about for years in Texas where he would have had jurisdiction, but was apparently too chicken to do so. So, he chose not to seek legal help.

Stalking is a crime, but reporting on the use of tax dollars and the credentials of those raking in hundreds of thousands of tax dollars does not constitute stalking. So, he obviously has no case there either. And, how many fiction books are written to make the readers aware of an issue?

Holbrook made the mistake of filing a harassment suit against me, numerous journalists, newspapers and the taxpayers in Texas commenting on Earthquest. He was tossed out for jurisdictional issues just as I predicited. He started this fight. Writing that egregious book is just fueling the fire when he should be crawling back under his rock.

No person will choose to debate a complete idiot that cannot be reasoned with. I will provide the facts to set the record completely straight but I will engage in a complete waste of time by engaging Heather Dobrott. She is a person that cannot hold a steady job because she attacks anyone that disagrees with her and then uses the Internet to try to shame them into being embarrassed or worse yet she tries to destroy their reputation, their economic livelihood and their social status and that of their family. I have posted another paper where you can judge for yourself whether this person Heather Dobrott is a Sociopath or Psychopath, clearly she is mentally ill in my own opinion and needs public intervention by the authorities before she takes her stalking too far and causes someone to harm themselves physically over being distraught by her taunts, stalking and permanent lies and malicious and defamatory statements. Schools are at least now training our children that people such as Heather Dobrott exist. This just proves the point of my book that even though the Internet has brought great positive advances to society it also has a dark side where sicko such as Heather Dobrott prey upon innocent people for their own perverse and malevolent pleasure to make themselves feel important. Here own cyber trail of virtual hate and carnage is pretty evident if you google her and it apparently also has unfortunately been inherited by her children. Her own neigbors have posted numerous posts about her own vile treatment of their own kids, their mother and the parents for have the misfortune of happening to purchase a home next to Dobrott’s. She torments her neighbors, she sues and makes allegations against her recent employer the Garland Soccer Association and anyone else she feels does not meet her own standards. She does not use normal diplomacy and tact with them and she is even worse to those she happens upon online. You should definitely judge your own reaction to her statements by looking at her wide spread reputation for spreading hate. If you feel that type of behavior is normal then you absolutely belong on her blog RealScams… my nick name for it is Real Cyber-Scumbags. The Book was inspired by my having to deal with Heather Dobro` due to her stalking me and the complete lack of legal remedies available to vicames of online social media based stalkers, bullies and trolls. It is 100% a ficaonal stroy with completely made up characters. The villain in the book is a woman whose mother was a Circus Carne Whore that blackmailed men in the various ciaes in order to make some quick cash. She dies of very suspicious causes and this puts the young woman onto the road of a life of cyber crimes. So unless Heather Dobro` is saying her own mother was a Circus Carne Whore that used dirty sexual tricks to blackmail men into giving her cash, ( which I have no idea who her mother is and/or what she did for a living) then this book cannot be about her in any way shape of form. If by some accident I have guessed Heather's mothers occupaaon then I apologize and now I understand why she is so mentally disturbed and unbalanced. Any link between my book and it's ficaonal characters and story and Heather Dobro` are being made by her own asseraons not by me. I think she would love to believe in her own fantasy world she is that important but she is not. This book was wri`en to make mone for me as an author and to make people more aware of a real social problem in society that is woefully behind the ames between the legal system and the abuse of social media by very malicious and malevolent people.

They owe her no explanation and they will not give her any… neither would any sane person. They will make their investments when they see fit and on their own timing and terms. I worked on the EarthQuest project in the capacity as a consultant to the private sector developer of the idea. I selected the site for the investment to occur and then was kept on the project to work on designing and gaining approval of the public sector economic incentives by the State of Texas and the Local governmental agency EMCID. I did my job and received two letters of complete satisfaction by the government agencies. They remain 100% satisfied with my work yet today. I worked on the project nearly full time between 2004 to 2012. Yes, I did earn a large amount of money and was paid such over those years by a publicly disclosed contract with the agency. No secret there it is public record. I will make additional money once the project receives the green light and is funded for construction by the private sector developers, which have been working on this funding now these past two years. The project basically went on hiatus because of the economic meltdown between 2008-2011. Part of Heather Dobrott’s frustration is that the government will not respond to her either and that should also tell you that they probably see her as a nut job wacko just like most others do that have any dealings with her. I personally do not know this woman and have never had any dealings with her on any of my projects other than to defend myself against her defamatory and fraudulent statements instigated by her. I am not a private sector real estate developer and I provide opinions for risk and the design of site location economic incentives and I get paid for those opinions when they are rendered and again when they are finalized and funded. No secret to that fully disclosed contractual agreement either. So there is no conspiracy theory here. I fully expect my clients to pay me and per their terms of their contracts nothing more and nothing less, that was the pre-agreed upon relationship we both mutually entered into. I do that with all my clients. Any business consultant would do the same.

Furthermore these characters are 100% fictional and the story is 100% fiction. The story was inspired based upon my own dealings and findings of interesting subjects in real life. I found the lack of legal authority to procure and provide legal ethical and lawful remedies to those of us stalked online by such characters as Heather Dobrott to be very frustrating. The legal system and the politicians have not kept our society protected in this realm and these cyber bullies, trolls and social media stalkers are falsely using the First Amendment as their justified motus of operandi under Freedom of Speech. But the constitution does not protect such people when their comments are slanderous and/or defamatory and thus cause emotional, physical and financial duress and harm to people because of their fraudulent statements. Once the legal system provides a federal process for restitution and recourse it will end this loophole between state courts and their lack of jurisdiction and federal issues.

Published on Dec 25, 2015


The fictional story of how a group of victims of a cyber stalker, extortionist and blackmailer and cyber bully organized themselves to get their own version of revenge against their tormenter. This story is fictional but it was inspired by the author's own dealings with a malevolent cyber bully and stalker and the legal systems failure to keep up with the online world and society. The Internet (Abyss) is dangerous and has a dark side. People can post and claim that their statements are factual when they are simply innuendo and made up beliefs of the stalker not factual at all. The problem is those posts are permanent and they can ruin someone's life, real world social status, professional ability to earn a living and create real world problems that become permanent and aren't true at all. This story gives all those victims of such malicious and psychopaths some restitution by being able to believe that maybe at some point these cyber stalkers and bullies will finally get what is coming to them legally. The story itself is 100% fictional as are all the Characters and the events and incidents portrayed in this story are all made up and not taken from actual stalking incidents. This book is not related to anyone in the real world and it is not linked to any actual cyber stalkers no matter what they may try to claim and no matter what they claim their reasons and justifications for those beliefs are they are not factual and untrue

Name: Don Allen Holbrook
Where do you live: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Known for: Author, Motivational & Keynote Speaker, Economist, Economic Life Coaching
Currently working with:
Currently I am preparing to release my new block buster fiction novel, “The Ninth Templar- Book One”. This project is designed as a book to documentary and then major motion picture project and I have built out all the three elements to market them one after the other in sequence.
When did you realize that you were going to work with this/in this area?
I took notice of some very interesting mysteries around the Knights Templar Order on a long trip abroad in Europe looking at medieval castles and history. The mystery and conspiracy theory I uncovered fascinated me and I felt it was perfect for my desire to write the kind of action adventure thriller I wished I could read at the news stands. So I decided to write the story I saw in my mind. It has been a blast and very rewarding personally. I have devoted the past six years to the project and quite a large sum of my own monies. I do feel it will all be worth it.
How would you describe your creativity?
I am a realist that has the ability to find the spark or catalyst that takes common and ordinary to extraordinary… I am motivated by making things better and more spectacular and I have a very big imagination. It probably comes from my nearly one year in quarantine as a seven year old child when I caught advanced adult stage of tuberculosis and I survived, but I was unable to be around anyone for almost a year.
How and when did you start to work with this in a serious manner?
I began to work on my first fiction book in 2010 after I returned from Europe with my family.
What do you do at the moment?
I have written 15 books, and I do economic consulting for businesses on avoiding risk in new business growth and also I do economic life coaching for some pretty well known celebrity clients, CEO’s, and other high wealth folks, I run my own investment fund, and I do about six to ten paid professional speeches a week here in Las Vegas as a Vacation Advocate and financial investment speaker. These things keep me very busy and I am constantly multi-tasking.
A recommendation for those who think about starting and running a creative business?
Have the mindset that you will fail several times before you get it right, all winners fail they just get up and keep adapting and mitigating the things that cause such setbacks. You have to be willing to invest real money into your dream not ask others to do so if you yourself have not got some serious skin (money) in the game. Then don’t get discouraged stay focused on your goals and set up realistic milestones so you can see progress.
Tell us how it all started.
Back in 2000 I was at a major conference for Economic Development, I was a major keynote speaker at many of those conferences. I was discussing the best techniques to use in order to grow and rebuild local economies with a group of colleagues on the veranda of the Vinoy Hotel in St. Petersburg Florida. I noticed that even at that late hour nearly midnight I had a large contingent of my colleagues sitting around listening to my tales and explanations of how to do it. I puffed on one of my favorite cigars and a thought struck me, why not just write an expose on how to do all this secret technique stuff rather than retell the story at every conference. It gets really old having to tell everyone at every conference a brain dump of my knowledge. So I looked up and around the veranda and announced, “Well folks, I think I am going to write a book and put all this and everything I know and can think of into the book and just share it with everyone.”
I figured I might as well get paid for sharing and it sounded a lot easier than retelling these stories at every conference. Everyone laughed and said, come on really… Then I said, yep and I think it will be awesome. My first book became the #1 Best Seller in the Economic Development Industry world wide for over four years in a row and now is in it’s Second Revised and Updated Edition and still sells like hotcakes every year. That was 15 books ago. My most recent non-fiction book, “The Next America-thriving and Surviving in an Unpredictable Economy-published 2014 was the #1 Best Seller on Amazon over the summer of 2015 and stayed in the top ten summer books most of the summer and well into the fall. So at this point after ten years of writing as an author, I finally have a fairly solid audience base, but it took a decade and lots of hard work on social media and with many friends assistance as well.
What is the most important thing in a workplace/studio for you?
The ability to have a professional, clean and pleasant surrounding so I can focus on my own creative outlet. I love people but get annoyed when I am interrupted while writing.
What is your favorite film?
That’s a tough one… I have a six pack… First ARN the Templar, The Original Director Uncut Version of The Highlander, Da Vinci Code, Indiana Jones all of them, and the Bourne Supremacy series of films and I love all James Bond films.
Who would you like to invite for a dinner and why?
Wow… I have been fortunate to have had dinner with many very well known people over my life, a couple of Presidents, Movie Stars, and Professional Athletes. I would love to invite Warren Buffet to Dinner and have a few others there as well such as Colin Powell, and Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg and for entertainment I would invite Donny and Marie. Of course for some comedy it would be Billy Crystal and Steve Martin. Now that would be a dinner party that I would love to host.
How do you like to spoil yourself?
I love to get a hot towel shave with a straight razor, then a pedicure (no painted toes) just the foot massage. I also will have a great cigar and a great port wine at the end of the evening and reflect on my journey and what is ahead. My big rewards are normally art (customized and commissioned to my own desire), a great sports car, and I love exotic and historical adventure travel and staying in luxury hotels. I love to take the train around places and sight-see and eat like the locals.
What is luxury for you?
Time to relax and have no driving agenda or timeline for several days in a row where I can just chill and relax or chillax as my kids say. It’s nice if you can do that somewhere interesting, beautiful and remote as well.
What is the nicest compliment you’ve received for your creative work, and from whom?
I have had several people give me a very similar comment; “Your work changed how I looked at everything and made huge obstacles seem very easy to overcome. I reread it all the time because I continuously learn new ways to be better at my job and produce better results because of how you taught us to keep it simple and just fly the mission. It moved me and has positively changed my life.” (paraphrased)
There is no higher compliment to an author than to hear that your words touched another person in such a way.
What do you fear most?
That I will not have the time I need on this planet to do and see all the things I really still want to do… My list just keeps getting longer.
What is a happy life to you?
Spending time with my family and friends and just socializing and enjoying good conversation probably poolside and grilling.
What does a regular day look like for you?
Non-stop crazy… Up in the morning have my coffee, take my youngest to school go to the strip in Las Vegas set up auditorium and check my equipment and do my first 65 minute show by 8:30 and then another near or just after noon. Then I head back to my office usually with a honey do list from my wife and land at my office and do more of my client work or I go to a client meeting. Back to school to pick up my son after his sports and then home for dinner. He does home work and I do my client work. I try to respond to all texts and emails and phone calls during the day when I am free so they don’t pile up on me. After we both finish and if my wife is home we either watch a great movie with popcorn or do something as a family. Then a few minutes on the back deck to maybe have a night cap and possibly a cigar while My wife chats with me about her day and then off to bed to start it all over gain.
Tell us about your dream project.
I am working on it right now the Ninth Templar is my dream project.
Who is your professional role model/inspiration?
I love the stoic strong strength of John Wayne coupled with the smooth savvy fashionable James Bond (Connery) and for business (Steve Jobs and I like Jeb Bush, he is a real straight shooter and brilliant but focused on realistic and ethical behavior to restore financial integrity to America).
How would you describe your work style (academic field or fashion style, or both, or something entirely different)?
I am a complete blend of all of this.
Which is the one thing you can’t live without?
My family.
What inspires you?
Knowing that my effort will help others get their own financial growth and personal economic satisfaction and improve their own quality of life.
A book that has changed/made the most impression in your life?
“The Templar Legacy” by Steve Berry and Vince Flynn (late) Term Limits. So it would be a tie. Their characters and writing style inspired me to write and develop my own.

Now, this twice bankrupt failure of an Economic Developer is bragging that he is an "economic life coaching for some pretty well known celebrity clients, CEO’s, and other high wealth folks." Funny, how that doesn't show on his current bankruptcy nor does a penny in book sales. Holbrook wrote in detail about his desperate attempts to sell books (http://www.realscam.com/f11/don-allen-holbrook-iedc-rogue-member-next-america-moving-beyond-fragile-economy-1240/index50.html#post63005) and break even after losing money doing so. How much income is he hiding or it all this a lie to sucker in more warm marks?

His speeches are lie-filled sessions to trick clueless marks into buying timeshares. That is not a financial investment discussion, but the promotion of a seedy scam. Holbrook now has no Economic Developer related credentials and isn't even qualified for dog catcher.

What clients could this guy with his retched reputation have? Who wants to associate with a litigious goon who has sued half the planet including the taxpayers for commenting on his theme park from hell that will leave them holding the bag for 24 million?

Time for the IEDC to fire that buffoon Jeff Finkle:

[Soapboxmom]

Jeff Finkle should be fired for failing to do his duty for the IEDC (International Economic Development Council. Finkle was made aware in 2012 of numerous ethics violations by Holbrook in writing by me with verifiable documentation.

Don Allen Holbrook was honored with the Fellow Member Designation in 2008 in large part for the failed Earthquest project. Notice the people in the picture linked below. From left to right we have Frank McCrady of the East Montgomery County Improvement District that spent 24 million for a theme park that is still on paper, Chris Brown of Contour Entertainment who has been following Holbrook around for years and has not yet had anything come to fruition with him, then we have the Holbrooks and the Finkles. Jeff Finkle is the errant head of the International Development Council who has for 2 decades looked away while Don Holbrook committed resume fraud, lied to clients, headed a fraudulent charity that he served as CEO for that was set up to promote the non-existent for profit Earthquest theme park and much more. That award is a complete farce. Don Allen Holbrook hasn't had a successful project in over a decade and before that was fired from 2 Economic Developer positions and not renewed for a third.

12896

[[ASIN:1436363934 Who Moved My Smokestack?: America's Failure to Protect Our Jobs and Stop the Erosion of the American Dream]] In that tripe written in 2008, Holbrook brags of his success in New Caney with the billion dollar Earthquest theme park that is still on paper and likely will never get off it. How is the taxpayers being out 24 million for bupkis a success? Holbrook and his LLCs made over 1.2 million and he had a hand in very pie in clear conflicts of interest in every aspect of this colossal failure.

Holbrook lied to his clients in Pahrump, NV about Earthquest as well to trick them into paying him more money. Note he claims that Earthquest is going great guns and the scope of the project has not been reduced. He claims that he and Contour Entertainment are buying the property for the park that summer (2011) and that ground breaking will take place in December 2011 or the first quarter of 2012.

Is there any chance that we can remove the board listing that is currently on your blog? I do not know what these things are called, so if I have called it something wrong, please excuse me.

I am certainly sorry to see this get so ugly on both sides. Please do not quote anything in this email.

Jeffrey A. Finkle, CEcD
President and CEO of the International Economic Development Council
734 15th St. NW Suite 900
Washington, DC 20005

The International Economic Development Council's 2012 Annual Conference, September 30 - October 3 in Houston, Texas, will address the challenges and opportunities of growing jobs and investment in today's global economy (http://iedconline.org/annualconference/index.html). By energizing and empowering regional partners through shared messaging, resources, and best practices, communities small and large can reap the benefits and remain competitive.

Support the Bollinger Foundation, a unique foundation that supports families in the field of community development, public housing and economic development (http://www.bollingerfoundation.org/Bollinger_Open.html).

I made certain that Jeff Finkle was aware of everything Don Allen Holbrook was doing. Finkle's response was to cry around about how Holbrook's son is his godson. Ridiculous! His job as the president of the IEDC is to see that it is properly run and that clients and the public can trust in the folks using the designations of the organization. The IEDC most certainly can bring a former member up on charges that has lied to clients numerous times over the years and is still using the organizations designations fraudulently.

Don Allen Holbrook should have been thoroughly investigated years ago, but Jeff Finkle always covers up for this lying fraud that has cost the taxpayers millions and millions of dollars. Holbrook should be publicly reprimanded and sanctioned so that he can't cause any more harm to clients and the unsuspecting taxpayers footing the bill. The fact he actually sued the taxpayers that commented on the Earthquest theme park debacle that is still on paper and will cost them 24 million dollars is beyond despicable and totally unprofessional. Jeff Finkle just keeps cheering this sick scammer on.

The board of directors needs to take action against Holbrook immediately. And if Jeff Finnkle can't put aside his emotions and personal relationships and do his duties to the IEDC then he should be replaced by the board immediately. How can clients and the public have any trust in an organization that clearly can't police itself and uphold its own Code of Ethics. Don Allen Holbrook and his supporter Jeff Finkle have done immeasurable harm to the reputation of the IEDC.

Don Allen Holbrook seems determined to take Jeff Finkle down with him:

Don Allen Holbrook (http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A3AV58UI4118DH/ref=cm_cr_rev_detpdp) says:
Don,

You can use this brief statement. Tracy is not going to respond any further. I cannot imagine that you and Heather are still going at it. I am not willing to change this message and I am unwilling to post it anywhere. You can if you want. Best wishes

"Don Holbrook is no longer involved in the International Economic Development Council. He is no longer using the certification that he earned, to the best of our knowledge. There are no ethics investigations going on against Don Holbrook as we do not review non-members. Furthermore, we are not aware of any breaches of the industry ethical guidelines under any circumstances. IEDC is not going to respond any further on this issue and nothing from this should imply guilt by Don Holbrook by the professional body."

Jeffrey A Finkle
President and CEO, International Economic Development Council
Don Allen Holbrook is still using his CEcD and FM designations in all the places I have named repeatedly. That is resume fraud and the IEDC is obligated to discipline and sanction Holbrook for using them. The IEDC is also fully aware of the deceptions he committed over the years to trick clients into spending thousands of tax dollars paying him for fantasy projects. Holbrook has not had any project come to fruition in over a decade, though he brags to clients of 100s of projects worth billions that created 50,000 jobs. Years ago he was fired from 2 Economic Developer positions and not renewed for a third. Holbrook is nothing but a well dressed thug that has left the taxpayers out millions for bupkis.

All that fact based drivel is right out of Don Allen Holbrook's book Soapbox-Momster: Cyber Stalker of the Abyss.

Social Media Trolls Engagement Tactic
Don Allen Holbrook
Jan 20, 2016

45 views


This morning I had an interesting conversation with one of my close friends in Texas. I thought I would share this conversation because it underscores a very deep rooted issue on the web related to social media.


As many of you know I have been stalked and bullied and trolled for the past four years by a woman who goes by the name Heather Dobrott and uses up to 7 different online personslities I've been told by security experts. Her most used alias I know of is Soapboxmom.


My recent fiction novella called Soapbox-Momster Cyber Stalker of the Abyss released Christmas 2015 was inspired by what I learned of this huge social media issue myself. While the book is not about her and none of incidents in my story are related to her either. She is posting everywhere on the Internet to the contrary, but that is not factual.


Authors write books from their observations and how things inspire your creativity. I chose to take a very stressful situation and react with a positive action, to write a fiction book that is fun to read and still raises awareness of this travesty within our legal syste, the lack of laws that allow victims of these predators to seek legal restitution and law enforcement to halt such actions. Are police are very aware of this problem and very empathetic but unable to address due to this lack of law and establishment of jurisdiction for online predator crimes.


This past week many of my friends reporting getting highly fraudulent statements about me that cast my character in a very poor light, one which is completely false. So now since my book has come out I am bring attacked by this online bully and stalker as well as my friends and she attacks my book fans reviews on Amazon. She is a very disturbed person.


One of my friends also has now encountered someone trying to impersonate the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, also claiming to know me. Here is what I shared with her.


Typical social media troll and stalker they live in an imaginary world where unlike the real world they feel they are important. They create that world to project who they wish they were but are too inept to have created by their own actions, integrity and character. I have found That they justify any means to their actions as necessary because those that don't agree are either uninformed idiots or bad people. It's also called Hero syndrome they of course are the misunderstood hero going what's right against all odds.


In reality they are delusional self absorbed misfits that are also laced with DNA fueled by sociopath genetic code and a moral compass built on pathological lying. They are very difficult to deal with and only behavior science experts have any hope of addressing their real mental and emotional issues.


In addition they may create multiple fake online personas so that it appears they have others that support their opinion so that normal people are falsely misled into thinking others share their own warped sentiments as being credible and factual. Be careful how you engage them though because in some small percentage of the times they also lash out in the real world physically if they cross the line of real versus made up so much that they believe their own fantasy... then they act on that fantasy and it becomes very dangerous.


I also found another very credible and useful website that is full of awesome information that anyone being subjected to these heinous acts by very malicious people should know about.
"Cyberstalking is the use of Information and Communications Technology to stalk and refers to a pattern of threatening or malicious behaviors. Cyberstalking may be considered the most dangerous of the three types of information and communications technology harassment, based on posing a credible threat of harm. Legal sanctions range from misdemeanors to felonies and vary by state.

Cyber Harassment differs from Cyberstalking in that it is not involving a credible physical threat. Cyber harassment usually pertains to threatening or harassing messages using Information and Communications Technology to torment an individual, group or organization. Some states approach cyber harassment by including language addressing electronic communications in general harassment laws, while others have created stand-alone cyber harassment statutes.

Cyberbullying and cyber harassment are sometimes used interchangeably, but cyber bullying is used for electronic harassment or bullying among minors. Recent cyber bullying legislation reflects a trend of making school districts the policy enforcers of cyber bullying. As a result, statutes establish the infrastructure for schools to handle this issue by amending existing school anti-bullying policies to include cyber bullying and cyber harassment among school age children. The majority of these state laws establish sanctions for all forms of cyber bullying on school property, school buses and official school functions."

Holbrook has the intellect of a head of cabbage. He is rambling on about himself in the book. "In reality they are delusional self absorbed misfits," Holbrook quips, when in fact that he is describing himself perfectly. "He was a site location and public incentive strategist...a board member of the most prestigious international economic development organization in Washington, DC," he writes of the character that is his embodiment. I was one of many that filed numerous complaints with various law enforcement agencies and that did brig the FBI and Texas Rangers in to investigate Earthquest.

Earthquest: Sinkhole for residents’ taxes? - Your Houston News: News (http://www.yourhoustonnews.com/courier/news/earthquest-sinkhole-for-residents-taxes/article_f159b45f-8f68-5a4f-8372-7c78fd3009ee.html)
But with resident concerns that EarthQuest may never happen – even after receiving $7.8 million in bond money and $2.5 million from EMCID, McCrady said – Sadler is cautioning McCrady about his role in continuing to fire the hopes of East County residents and business owners over the promise of EarthQuest.

“Having been a department head of real estate at a major Houston bank for 12 years, I have always been supportive of this project, yet skeptical of its viability for a number of reasons,” Sadler wrote in a letter Wednesday to McCrady.

“There has never been a lender, bank, investment banker or the like who has stepped up to the plate to fund this project. To the best of my knowledge, there has never been an individual or corporation with the ‘credit’ or financial statement to make a project of this scope and size become a reality.

“In short, the entirety of this project has been nothing but photos, renderings and dreams funded with taxpayer dollars.”

Sadler concludes his letter by advising McCrady “that I would not continue advocating this project or addressing the media that ‘this project will happen’ unless and until the above two questions can be answered with clarity and with certain assurances.”

EarthQuest is “busted,” Sadler said. “I’ve been following this for five years; I could have written this a year ago. Hell, enough is enough. It’s unbelievable.”

Sadler said he also has advised McCrady to quit spending money on EarthQuest until an investment banker steps forward.

He also has sent some information regarding EarthQuest to the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, he said.

“Anytime something is brought to the attention of the Texas Rangers or the Public Integrity Division of the District Attorney’s Office, this office has a duty to investigate,” District Attorney Brett Ligon said about EarthQuest and EMCID’s involvement. “We have been receiving information from not only the county judge but other members of the community regarding what they believe is conduct considered to be questionable.”

The FBI is investigating the East Montgomery County Improvement District, its administrators and some board members. Based on a series of investigative reports by this newspaper, which revealed millions of dollars spent on controversial items, along with equally controversial practices involving the creation of EarthQuest, a dinosaur theme park, The Tribune has learned that the FBI served federal grand jury subpoenas several weeks ago to those close to EMCID. While the complete list is unknown at this time, CEO Frank McCrady, EMCID staff members Suzanne Parmer and Sandy Seelye, and EMCID Board members Leon Cubillas, Leonard Rodgers, Isidor Ybarra, Connie Bloodworth, Vickie Thumann, Sue Rinehart, Linda Floyd and Fred Wetz have all been apprised of the investigation, with some receiving subpoenas..... The Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office and the Texas Rangers also are involved in the investigation.......The attorneys, one of whom introduced himself as the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District, went on to say the FBI has requested numerous documents including credit card statements, board meeting minutes, contracts, etc. The attorneys said they were representing the board and the staff but warned that if anyone were to get criminal charges filed against them, they will have to hire their own attorney. The Tribune has learned that EMCID has hired prominent Houston lawyer Rusty Hardin, who, according to his website, represents “major corporations, public agencies and high-profile individuals in both civil and criminal litigation.” EMCID has spent more than $100,000 in taxpayer dollars in the last two months, with more than $75,000 going to Hardin alone. Several additional law firms have also been paid thousands of dollars. Previously, The Tribune noted that EMCID legal counsel David Marks receives more than $350,000 annually from EMCID......



You bet I e-mailed all of the IEDC (International Economic Development Association) board members about their then fellow board member and obvious scammer, Don Allen Holbrook. He describes those board members as "folks (that) were less than professionally trained and equipped to handle such situations so that they actually bought into the accusations she made...and asked for his resignation from their board of directors... His professional reputation was destroyed"

The IEDC should have taken action against Holbrook years ago. Now, he has the gall to denigrate them publicly. Jeff Finkle's covering for this lying, litigious and abusive goon for years has totally sullied the IEDC's once sterling reputation. Jeff Finkle must go and the IEDC must take decisive action against this clown that uses their credentials fraudulently and has sullied their name by deceiving clients for 25 years.

How to Value our Economic Impact as a Professional Economic Developer? (http://economicdeveloper.com/2012/04/20/how-to-value-our-economic-impact-as-a-professional-economic-developer/)

20 Friday Apr 2012
(http://economicdeveloper.com/2012/04/20/how-to-value-our-economic-impact-as-a-professional-economic-developer/) Posted by economicdeveloper (http://economicdeveloper.com/author/economicdeveloper/) in Professional Economic Development Ethics & Conduct (http://economicdeveloper.com/category/professional-economic-development-ethics-conduct/), The Dark Side of Social Media & the Internet (http://economicdeveloper.com/category/the-dark-side-of-social-media-the-internet/)

.......
I would say that anyone in our industry of economic development is normally not the most beloved person of the media, because we recommend the invest of taxpayers monies in order to create the right atmosphere for these types of outcomes to occur. If they were going to occur naturally I think the outcome would already be well down the road. Thus it takes strategic thinkers, visionary leaders, and supporters that want a better tomorrow to agree on taking some form of calculated risk at the expense of their constituents. For sure these are not easy decisions to make. But over the course of a lifetime of service to our profession we do learn the most efficient process for getting to the nub of the matter and making hard choices. Usually those of us in this public spectacle get our fair share of naysayers and critics. With the advent of bloggers we sure draw in many cases our share of unwarranted abuse by uninformed and sometimes malicious and usually people who had no experience and/or involvement in the actual projects being discussed, they are just arm chair experts, with no experience themselves in being game changers, and adding measurable value to our society. Perhaps that is why we draw their negative attention so much.


None the less, one of my biggest questions is so where has the mighty guru the oz of economic development or sometimes even more cynical faux names like the Johnny Appleseed of economic development, gotten the right to proclaim his expertise? Then they use such (alleged slams) like saying that my books are self-published inferring that this means they are not well read and popular amongst my peers. When in actuality my books have sold well and that has been what has propelled my consulting business and my public speaking engagements.
But finally what is frustrating and irritating and what makes me angry is when they devalue my awards, certifications and accolades given to me over my time of service. They make comments that I am a self-proclaimed expert. This gives no validity to my certifications as a Master Business Retention Consultant, Certified Economic Developer, Certified Economic Development Finance Professional, my life time achievement award given to me by my peers at IEDC allowing me to be called a “Fellow Member,” or ignoring my projects that have won the Governor’s award in Minnesota as the Economic Development Project of the Year, “New Flyer Industries.” The New Flyer project so transformed the Minnesota economy that it created the number one automotive industry in Minnesota and attracted yet another expansion by the company in St. Cloud.......

So when I consider the number of projects I have been involved in from South St. Paul MN, Crookston, MN, Red Wing, MN, Verizon Telecommunications national subject matter expert on economic development targeted foundation investments, Wayne County, IN and then consulting literally all over the world these past 6 years, it can be a very huge number......

So after yet another barrage of naysayers and even an attack on my ethics and conduct related to my work in our industry. They even sent all my professional board colleagues a nasty set of invalid media articles from the less than the main stream media and based mainly on blogger commentaries, citing that I should be somehow ashamed of my accolades, my conduct in achieving my results, and somehow accusing me of breaking our official code of ethics....While I feel such malicious and defamatory bloggers will never be capable of accepting the truth or admitting they were wrong in their comments and accusations.

Holbrook was hired to manage the process and he followed the direction of the EQI board, which was authorized and funded by EMCID. EMCIDs chairman was also the EQI Chairman. Holbrook was never hired to find funding for either the theme park or EQI. Your a stay at home conspiracy theory idiot who watches too many made up Hollywood shows.

EMCID bought the former developers promises along with EQI and Marlin Atlantis failed to deliver on their promises to both EMCID and EQI. That is the cause of the failure not Holbrook you idiot!

EAST MONTGOMERY COUNTY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT / Directors approve contracts / Contract OK'd for theme park consultant 11/29/2007 | Archives | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle (http://www.chron.com/CDA/archives/archive.mpl/2007_4467685/east-montgomery-county-improvement-district-direct.html)

EAST MONTGOMERY COUNTY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT / Directors approve contracts / Contract OK'd for theme park consultant

SUZANNE WEST, Houston Chronicle Correspondent

Thu 11/29/2007 Houston Chronicle, Section ThisWeek, Page 6, 2 STAR Edition
East Montgomery County Improvement District directors approved contracts for services to the district. These ranged from site surveying to retaining consulting services in connection with the Earth Quest theme park project at a special directors meeting Nov. 7.
The directors will retain Don Holbrook and the Vercitas Group for consulting services in connection with the for-profit theme park portion of the Earth Quest project.
Under the terms of the $25,000 contract, Holbrook will provide the district with outside consulting services connected with securing financing and investors, said Frank McCrady, EMCID president and CEO.
"We want to make sure he stays with the project and makes the presentations," said McCrady.
Holbrook has already been working with the project's promoters, founders and the district and was actively involved in the process that selected the site of the Earth Quest venture.
The district has five potential financing sources for the for-profit portion of the project, he said.



Holbrook is obviously desperate to hide his colossal failure in securing the financing / investors. His old buddies from the fundraising business that bailed from Stellar with him under odd circumstances to say the least were involved in the fundraising for Earthquest when he as the CEO for the defunct Earthquest charity brought them in. Now, we have proof from Archive.org that he was in fact a VP in the fundraising industry during the time he was BSing McCrady and many others with his talk of 100s of successful projects worth billions that created 50,000 fiction and was wallowing in his chapter 7 bankruptcy writing off 1.29 million in legal fees alone. This liar and fraud should have been reined in by Jeff Finkle and the IEDC years ago!

Today it is very possible for the fans to own movie points (percentage of royalty based income) right along with the production company and the Director, Producers, Actors and other major investors.
Our documentary film will tell the tale of one of the most mysterious unsolved secrets of history the legend of the Knights Templar Order.
Who is the Movie's Director and What is his vision for this film?
The Director Phillip Guzman has an eye for creating lush and highly engaging films on very competitive budgets. His vision for this documentary was to explore and tell the tale of the Knights Templar much along the lines of a major motion picture, since most of their history since their disappearance on Friday the 13th in 1307 is unknown even today. Guzman will bring major motion picture special effects and cinematography to the documentary to make it a highly entertaining yet educational film. He will explore what happened to the nearly 125,000 knights after the capture of their Grand Master and 600 knights when the Pope and King Phillip IV of France conspired to capture the knights and destroy their order. Yet the Knights enormous treasury, their archives and mysterious secrets evaded capture and disappeared during the diaspora and remain a mystery even today. What gave the knights so much power and where did their wealth and knowledge disappear to and how may it have been continued and evolved to impact the world we live in today? What might the Knights have found that worried the Vatican and Pope with regard to the secret leaking out into the mainstream of society? Where might those secrets be hidden today? All of these fascinating questions will be explored.
The funding of this documentary package is very unique and could be quite profitable for the contributing investors in the Hollywood Movie Mogul Package. Let's explore what is included:

How much does this cost me?
$1750 which includes the transaction fee cost and the Crowd Funding site
How will I realize a Return on Investment?
The Contributing Investment Owners will be paid (30%) thirty percent of the films gross net revenue from film royalties just as the other founding owners will be paid from this same methodology, minus marketing, distribution and licensure costs. The revenue of a documentary film can run for decades and can pay a regular and quite profitable revenue stream to all the royalty owners over a very long time period. Our documentary is being made so that it will command a very nice market competitive posture as it will be interesting and yet still visually entertaining and thus allow us to distribute widely on all platforms such as major media channels, iTunes, Amazon Prime and Netflix.
When do we expect to begin actual filming and production?
Summer of 2016 is our scheduled pace for the full production of the film with a release in early 2017.

Himself




All of Holbrook's projects in the last decade have been total flops. Taxpayers have spent millions and nothing has come to fruition. The shining example being the billion dollar Earthquest theme park that will cost the taxpayers 24 million for bupkis. Holbrook went all over the country and was tossed out or sued by the other entities that he tried to pitch his destination theme park BS to. Who in their right mind would invest a penny in this sure money loser?

Holbrook's link leads to that page that says in no uncertain terms "No Results Found." What a dope!

[pantherdadX2]

"No Results Found"?.......sounds like his resume

[shipdit]

"No Results Found"?.......sounds like his resumeI've seen "resume puffery" before, but when I read this:

I run my own investment fund, and I do about six to ten paid professional speeches a week here in Las Vegas as a Vacation Advocate and financial investment speaker
... I just about laughed 'till I cried -> "I'M A TIMESHARE SALESMAN AND I PUT MY PAYCHECKS IN A WELLS FARGO CHECKING ACCOUNT"



... those posts are permanent and they can ruin someone's life, real world social status, professional ability to earn a living ...
I tell ya, I'm cryin' in my beer here.

SD

.

[pantherdadX2]

Financial investment speaker? Guess we could give him the benefit of the doubt there. Those timeshares, when resold, COULD net a financial windfall of $2.00...........in another 100 yrs. or so, when bread's $100.00 a loaf.

Holbrook's latest money begging video got a whopping 6 views including me in 17 hours. He has no likes or shares on his tweet. The video tells us the name of his worthless producer with nothing of any significance to his credit. And, the viewer is told to go to his Knightstemplarmoviedotcom site which is still a heaping pile of dung. When is this total loser going to crawl back under his rock?
