Lt. Colonel Marvin-TrineDay Legal Defense Fund

Dear Friends and believers in the right to publish the TRUTH: We Need
You!!
We Are Two Against the Special Forces Association.
We Won!
We owe our attorneys approximately $85,000 for what they have done,
we have paid them approx. $65,000 to date. The Special Forces
Association wants Marvin's book off the market and want to ruin
Marvin & TrineDay financially so that they may no longer author or
publish the truth about covert operations.
Please Help Us!! We are just regular folk, already stretched thin.
72 Year-Old Lt. Col. "Dangerous Dan" Marvin and TrineDay, an Oregon
publishing house, have defended themselves in a costly legal battle
to exercise their first amendment rights that began in Federal
District Court in Charleston, SC on October 31, 2005. On Wednesday,
November 2, a mistrial was declared. The plaintiffs lead attorney
bizarrely disappeared from the courthouse the day before and admitted
himself to a local hospital. The trial was rescheduled for January
23, 2006. On trial was Col. Marvin and his book, Expendable Elite –
One Soldier’s Journey Into Covert Warfare: a Vietnam wartime story of
his experience commanding an independent Special Forces operation in
1966 in the district of An Phu among the Hoa Haos (Wha Hows), a
militant Buddhist sect. The book was written in 1988 and published in
2003 by TrineDay. On January 20, 2006, after about just two hours of
deliberation the jury found Lt.Col. Marvin and TrineDay innocent.
The Special Forces Association (SFA), a fraternal organization of
active and retired operatives has tried to brashly influence these
legal proceedings. The SFA has bankrolled the plaintiff's action,
supplying lawyers, and apparently even advancing expense money to the
plaintiffs. The SFA has a history of "steamrolling" other historical
revelations. Any one who reads this book will know they laid down a
smoke screen, hoping to convince the jury that what they say is true
and that the book is a lie. But the book is true, based on personal
recollections, government documents and third parties and by
corroboration by certain of the plaintiffs themselves who now try to
disavow the truth. The book was well researched by the publisher and
of course sets forth the true accounts of Col. Marvin. This lawsuit
is nothing more than an attempt to keep secret what the public should
know. And the jury of eight citizens from South Carolina found that
Marvin and TrineDay not guilty of libel. Most of us think, myself
included, that if you win a civil lawsuit, the other side pays for
your lawyers, well that is true in Great Britain, but NOT in the
United States. So, we need your help to keep going forward. Please
help, I know it is a daunting amount, but we can do it. Please help,
please doante what you can, $5, $20, whatever, it does add up. Thank-
you very much.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
