The following is excerpted from Peter Moon's quarterly newsletter "The Montauk Pulse" of Spring 2012:

 

     On June 13, 1996, the most prominent UFO investigator on Long Island, John Ford, was arrested on the absolutely ludicrous charge of conspiring to murder John Powell, the Suffolk County Executive and head of the local Republican Party, by conceiving of a plan to put radium in his toothpaste.  The only evidence they had was a tape recorded conversation that was altered and proof of that alteration is now available.  Police raided his house where they confiscated his UFO files and found non-lethal radium.  Although they procured a search warrant, it was dated June 14th and after the arrest had taken place.   

     The case was so lame that they could not prosecute him successfully.  Instead, they kept him in jail without any reasonable bail amount and without due process with regard to habeas corpus law.  John was eventually represented by an attorney named John Rouse who had, in the past, served as an assistant to the Suffolk County District Attorney.  Rouse's handling of Ford's case was extremely embarrassing in terms of legal competence.  As Ford was in a political environment where there was great animosity towards him, Rouse should have demanded a change of venue.  This is routine and should easily have been granted.  Initially, I was told he did not challenge the warrant which was evidence of a conspiracy against Ford.  The prosecutors claimed that the warrant, which was dated June 12th, was a typo.  Rouse told a reporter that the date on the warrant would have been witnessed to have been incorrect by the detective on the case.  In point of fact, it is not the detective who holds sway over warrants.  It is a judge.  This same reporter stated that Rouse eventually got a copy of "the warrant" and that it was dated the 12th.  This is still fraudulent, however, because it was not the original warrant which was dated the 14th.  Someone had created a new warrant.  A proper assessment of this matter would require the judge's participation.  In any circumstance, the judge would not be permitted to concoct a new warrant but would have to refer to the original one.  This issue of the warrant is very confusing because I have just been informed by John Ford that John Rouse did challenge the warrant.  If that is so, why did he produce and/or allude to a false and additional warrant for the reporter?  Did he really challenge the warrant or just persuade John Ford, perhaps with false documents that he actually did?  There are too many factors that do not make sense.  John Ford's current attorney has told him that the original warrant would be all that an appellate court would consider.  If that is the case, he should be immune from prosecution over any evidence that was procured with the warrant. 
     Despite being locked up without any genuine legal justification, John was interrogated by a psychiatrist from the D.A.'s office without his own attorney present.  This is illegal.  The psychiatrist deemed him to be sane. 

 

After over a year in jail, John Ford's resistance wore down to his own attorney's pleas to have him accept a mentally incompetent plea.  This would, he said, preserve his social security benefits and would avoid a trial.  John, who had been drugged in the meantime, had become more docile and went along with his attorney.  Although it completely violates one's constitutional rights, New York State has a statute that allows prisoners to be administered drugs to ensure tranquility.  Keep in mind, John had not been convicted and also had not demonstrated any evidence of violent behavior.  After accepting the plea while under the influence of drugs, coercion, false imprisonment and malicious prosecution, John was sent to the Mid-Hudson Forensic Center for the criminally insane where he has remained ever since.  

     The circumstances of this case were so bizarre and notorious that they reached the ears of the Washington Post who sent reporter Mike Colton to do a feature article.  When Mike phoned D.A. James Catterson to get his comments, he only came to the phone when he heard that the call was from the Post.  Before he would talk to the reporter, however, Catterson wanted to know how the reporter felt about UFOs.  This not only tells us that the entire case was being scrutinized at a national level but that Suffolk County was keenly aware of that fact.  Catterson himself had a reputation for using the prosecutor's office abusively towards his enemies.   
     I have received five telephone calls from John during the last month.  He was to receive a hearing on March 7 to determine if he is eligible for release, but the prosecution has explained that there is a new psychiatrist on the case and he needs more time to review the file properly.  John is not anticipating a favorable ruling as he has already been turned down twice during the past four years.  If he is refused this time, he will request an appeal which means a full trial this autumn.  His attorney states that the prosecutors are firmly resolved to keep him incarcerated where he is.  It has now been so long that all who want John kept there and have the power to do anything about it are running out of justifiable excuses.  Quite oddly, the prosecutors appealed to the judge that if John is released that it only be under the condition that he will not be able to continue his UFO investigations.  The judge denied this request as it is against his civil rights which include life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

 

    During the third call I received from John, I learned that John Powell, the alleged target of assassination via radium in his toothpaste, had died of a heart attack at the age of 51.  There are different rumors suggesting Powell was assassinated.  The timing of his sudden death is, at the least, a rather stunning synchronicity. 
    After John was sent to Mid-Hudson, Powell was convicted for accepting bribes for access to the Brookhaven town dump and for operating an illegal chop shop.  Powell was the most powerful political entity on Long Island, but he was too arrogant for his own survival.  Upon information and belief, the illegal dumping that Powell was facilitating also included illegal atomic waste from Camp Hero to the Brookhaven landfill.  It is a very sensitive subject, but there are multiple reports indicating that Camp Hero was used to bury atomic waste from World War II projects.  As Camp Hero is one of the highest security matters of the secret government, this suggests that John Powell was not just a small time criminal politician.  He was representing forces which were far larger and more sinister in nature.   

    Before John went to Mid-Hudson, he wrote an eighty page press release that went to Jerry Cimisi, a Long Island reporter, and to myself.  I integrated what I could of that press release into the book The Music of Time.  It tells a very interesting story, but the original manuscript of that book, however, was too hot.  Preston and his father both pleaded with me to water down the injustices committed by the prosecutor (which are not a part of the press release) because they both were certain that it would result in the assassination of Preston.  Keep in mind that the entire book was written in the vernacular of Preston but that the investigative material was composed by myself.  In accordance with their wishes, I did water it down.  The original has only seen the light of day in the French language where it was published by a Belgian publication interested in injustice in America with regard to UFOs.  With John's consent, I am making the original 100 page press release available for free on the internet at www.digitalmontauk.com so that it can broadly circulated.

    The press release begins with John telling of his extensive background as a CIA counter-intelligence asset during the Cold War which began as a student at St. John's University.  After retiring as a Suffolk Country court officer, he founded LIUFON, the Long Island UFO Network, with Richard Stout as a result of the latter's role with the highway department where he witnessed many instances of mutilated animals along the highway that are not ordinary road kill. 
    The entire report is a riveting, dramatic and detailed account of John's life and the circumstances leading to his arrest and permanent incarceration.  I will herewith share some of the most important data.   

    In October of 1995, John received a call from Gary and Dorothy Tritt of Ronkonkoma, members of LIUFON and professional hypnotherapists who told him of their receptionist, Patty McDonald, who had a friend claiming there was a UFO crash that was responsible for the unprecedented fires in the Long Island Pine Barrens that made national news in 1995.  Patty found out about this after totaling her car crash when she was rear-ended by a delivery truck.  In a nearby car was Steven Ferrer, a used car dealer who got out to help Patty and ended up giving her his card if she should desire a new car.  Patty later visited Ferrer with her boyfriend and a long discussion ensued about how Ferrer was dirt biking in the woods near Suffolk Community College outside Riverhead and heard something crash in the woods.  Investigating, he rode his dirt bike and soon saw a large circular shaped object about the size of a house impacted into the ground.  With a classic flying saucer appearance, it radiated tremendous heat and small fires were breaking out nearby.  He immediately notified his brother-in-law, an FBI agent, who called FBI headquarters in Hauppauge whereupon they were both directed to the crash site where military helicopters were already on the scene.  They were subsequently debriefed by the FBI.

    The Tritts covertly arranged for John Ford to run into Patty McDonald whereupon he clandestinely tape recorded her (this is legal in New York State) account of the events.  Patty then suffered a series of suspicious car accidents and then disappeared permanently.  Ferrer would later deny the entire incident but would acknowledge having a brother-in-law in the FBI.  After this, John Ford and several of his LIUFON colleagues began to suffer suspicious break-ins, car mishaps and surveillance.  This is coupled with suspicious deaths of UFO investigators.   

    After all of this, John Ford's fate is sealed with the entrance of a new character on the scene.  His name is Joseph Mazzuchelli, a mechanic with a criminal record who is also registered with the Suffolk County D.A. as a paid police informant.  He brags of his family's mob connections and claims he is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Mossad.  Mazzuchelli claims he wants to join LIUFON, but he ends up befriending Ford and draining him financially while promising him financial support from the Mossad who want to blow the cover off of the Government's suppression of UFO disclosure.  As Mazzuchelli is demonstrably able to orchestrate the manipulation of an extensive amount of people with government connections, he convinces Ford that he is legitimate and should be listened to.  Mazzuchelli is the first one to tell Ford that the initial fires from the crashed UFO were deliberately ordered by the Feds to prevent disclosure of the UFO.  These were executed by local politicians, including John Powell, who took further advantage of the situation by setting more fires south of Sunrise Highway in order to capitalize on the real estate that they could then rezone for building.  Although Mazzuchelli is of dubious character, Ford's own investigations convince him this is true.

    Several weeks before Mazzuchelli reveals his alleged Mossad connections and promises him money, John receives a phone call from a Manhattan attorney representing Arthur Warren Klein who wants to speak to him regarding a UFO related incident with his granddaughter.  Ford is picked up in a limo that he cannot see out of and is taken to a mansion that is allegedly in Southampton.  There he met with John Gallagher (the attorney), Arthur Klein, and his son Robert Klein.  Klein showed photos of his granddaughter who he said was abducted and examined by aliens with all her body hair being shaven.  There were six circular welts around her navel.  John suggested she should be examined by a doctor and Klein said this could be arranged but wanted John to be the exclusive investigator.  He then offered a generous donation in the form of a certified check made out to LIUFON for ten million dollars.  John politely turned it down.  John received a business card from Gallagher who later phoned and wanted him to reconsider, but the executive committee of LIUFON did not trust any of this.     

    In a dramatic blow-by-blow account, John Ford tells how he was set up by Mazzuchelli and a cast of characters to eventually be arrested on the bizarre charge of conspiring to kill John Powell with radium.  While it is clear that John miscalculated frequently with regard to whom he could trust, it is very clear from a preponderance of evidence that there was a whole team working overtime to entrap him.  While the faulty search warrant was only for John Ford, the police took all of LIUFON's files which the D.A.'s office later claimed they lost.  They were obviously looking for evidence about the fires and their relentlessness and malicious prosecution alone suggests that they were more than a little guilty. 

    Whatever you think of John and how he was sucked in by Mazzuchelli, there is no question that Powell felt cornered by John Ford on various political issues which included the town dump.  It also clear from John's report that a massive dragnet was engineered to snare him anyway they could.  There is even recorded evidence to back this up which incriminates the former and deceased D.A. Catterson.  Unfortunately, none of Powell's or Catterson's successors have sought to correct the injustice which is really about civil rights.  John Ford is a political prisoner who was coerced and drugged into a plea of incompetence.  As Suffolk County is wide open to a malicious prosecution lawsuit from Ford as well as a lawsuit by LIUFON for illegal confiscating their property (which just happened to contain incriminating evidence against Suffolk County executives), it would seem to be in their short range fiscal interests to keep John incarcerated.  As the truth is now coming forward, it could not only lead up to being the biggest civil rights case in the entire nation but also the biggest UFO case.  You had better believe that the oppressors will do everything possible to keep this under the radar.    

    This would be an outrageous case in itself if UFOs were not a factor.  There is a very strange irony at work here, however, when we consider the UFO factor.  Keep in mind that LIUFON began when Richard Stout was working the "road kill" detail for the highway commission and found strange mutilations.  There are different theories of why animal mutilations are associated with UFOs, but it is commonly accepted that the internal organs are harvested and the animals are dropped from the sky once they have served their purpose.  The evidence is the absence of internal organs in the carcasses.  The irony is that Ford's former attorney, John Rouse, was appointed as Superintendent of the Brookhaven Highway Department in 2003, just a few years after Ford was locked away.  Not only that, Rouse hired John Powell as a consultant after the latter finished his relatively light prison sentence of two years.  Although Powell's high profile political career was ruined by his conviction, he played a background role in Republican politics and operated a paving company.  Did his paving company have any illicit liaison with or receive any benefit from the Brookhaven Highway Department by acting as a hidden sub-contractor?  That is an excellent question which I cannot answer at this time, but the department did hire both of John Powell's sons.  If you wanted to given an impression of graft, impropriety, and conflict of interest, Rouse has done an excellent job.  Too many coincidences is not a coincidence.

    If this were a Hollywood script, Powell and Rouse would be perfectly case as puppets for alien forces that do not what attention on animal mutilations, UFOs or anything associated with these subjects.  Keep in mind that Montauk was always considered to be the major control center for an alien agenda.  John Ford got caught in the net.  Please go to www.digitalmontauk.com and read his full report and do what you can, if anything, to support the cause of his release.
