UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
SUZANNE SHELL
Plaintiff
v.
AFRA, et al
RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT FOR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
I, Leonard Henderson swear before God all I say is true and factual.
Paragraph 1- Leonard Henderson (sometimes hereafter "I" or
"me") does not know whether Suzanne Shell is the name of an individual
or a corporate pseudonym such as "Betty Crocker".
Paragraph 2- The American Family Rights Association (AFRA)
lists member groups and individuals as a function of the ASSOCIATION. Shell
was once listed as one of MANY MEMBERS of the ASSOCIATION. AFRA has NO
"headquarters". NOBODY "owns" the AFRA Board of Directors.
Only one named AFRA defendant is in Colorado, whom Leonard Henderson only
recently became acquainted with because of her listing in Shell's
"complaint".
Leonard Henderson denies that AFRA advertises ANYTHING. AFRA does not offer
support "services", nor information "services", nor do we
have "products", nor do we "solicit membership". AFRA is not
a business, and does not advertise. Not being a business, AFRA has no business
to conduct.
AFRA operates WITHOUT money. AFRA receives no membership fees, has no bank account, has no employees, pays no salaries, compensates no Association officers, nor ANY ONE in any way. AFRA is entirely a group of benevolent VOLUNTEERS. The only thing AFRA has ever said about money can be found at-
http://familyrightsassociation.com/departments/afra_legal_disclaimer.htm#MONEY
~ABOUT MONEY~
AFRA (the national association) does NOT seek donations or membership fees of any kind. If you want to help Families, we recommend you to contribute your local/state support group. Independent state/ local groups may charge membership fees and/or seek donations. (See NOTE A below)
If you want to help, we recommend you to print large quantities of our
Family
Survival Info brochure and distribute
them widely in your locale to prepare young families for "The Visit"
No Family Rights supporter under the AFRA umbrella charges you for help. You
may feel free to help financially, but you are NOT required to do so. (See
NOTE A below).
Some of AFRA's member groups may have 501 (c)(3) Non-profit Tax Free status Many do not, and must not represent that donations to them are "Tax Free".
American Family Rights Association does NOT have a 501(c)(3)
And we don't want one because we refuse to have our political activities hand-cuffed.
Here's the IRS Charities & Non-Profits Page
"An IRC Section 501(c)(3) organization may not engage in carrying on propaganda, or otherwise attempting, to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities."
NOTE A- These lines were inserted in the original statement, in deference to CO-FOUNDER of AFRA Suzanne Shell (See Paragraph 55), because she DID charge for her goods and products, which was a sticky PROBLEM right from the beginning, because Shell's only interest in the Association was to PROMOTE AND ADVERTISE HER OWN NAME, GOODS AND PRODUCTS NATIONALLY TO A "MARKET" she hoped the Association would create for HER.
AFRA did promote Shell's books, websites, and seminars, up until Shell DEMANDED that all mention of her book, website, and seminars be removed from the AFRA website (See Exhibit 1), in RETALIATION for Leonard Henderson's refusal in 2003 to endorse and publish on the AFRA website, Shell's original, pre-AFRA Vendetta List ("Advocate Warning"- Exhibit 7) of her personal enemies later became her bizarre, slanderous and libelous "
Bad Advocates" website. Shell felt that I had "shamed and embarrassed her in public" by my opposition to, and refusal to publish that "Advocate Warning".Leonard Henderson's refusal to endorse and publish that "Advocate Warning" at AFRA is THE ORIGINAL CAUSE of Shell's DISAFFECTION from AFRA and HER SUBSEQUENT BEHAVIOR as an INTERNET TROLL, STALKER, and CYBERBULLY that she has now contrived into this Tinfoil Hat Conspiracy Theory of a "complaint".
Paragraph 3- Leonard Henderson states that the "
familyrightsassociation.com" and "oregonfamilyrights.com" website domain names were originally registered with "Network Solutions" by Leonard Henderson in 2002, not by Bill Tower as Shell deceitfully represents. Leonard Henderson paid for the Registrations and hosting fees from his Social Security Disability Checks and now Bill Tower pays for the Registration renewals and hosting fees from HIS Social Security Disability checks.Shell, as a CO-FOUNDER of AFRA (See Paragraph 55), knows perfectly well that Bill Tower was completely unknown to any of us in 2002. Leonard Henderson transferred ownership of the domain names to Bill Tower in 2006, when Leonard Henderson's health was rapidly failing. Tower was given the "job" after Attorney Gregory Hession RESIGNED because of Hession's attempts to broker a "peace" with Shell. Shell's implacable, absurd, and childish demands were completely unacceptable to the AFRA Board of Directors, and Hession could NOT bear up under being in the middle of it. (See Paragraphs 105-106 and Paragraph 111g)
As a CO-FOUNDER of AFRA, Shell knows perfectly well that AFRA is not a "business" or "enterprise" as she now attempts to contrive NUMEROUS TIMES in her "Complaint". Because of the drubbing Shell received in her nearly identical Internet Archive case in her attempt to fabricate a RICO against them, Shell now profusely sprinkles this "Complaint" with the words "Enterprise", "business", "agent".
As a CO-FOUNDER of AFRA, Shell certainly would NOT have participated in the creation of a COMPETITOR as she now attempts to contrive NUMEROUS TIMES in her "Complaint". Her mere disaffection from the Association does not automatically render the Association or it's members as her "competitor" or enemy, except in her mind..
If there are any "deficiencies" in the structure of AFRA, Shell as a CO-FOUNDER of AFRA is complicit in CREATING those alleged "deficiencies" that she now attempts to fabricate an exploit.
Leonard Henderson denies that neither AFRA, nor it's principals, nor our
members have EVER been a "competitor" of Suzanne Shell or ANYBODY.
Bill Tower merely owns and pays for the domain names and hosting costs.
Otherwise, there is NOTHING to "own" other than websites that I, the
webmaster could make DISAPPEAR in 30 seconds. To argue that "owning"
the AFRA website or that "owning" yahoogroups has monetary value- is
ABSURD.
Paragraph 4- Leonard Henderson denies Anne Tower is an "agent"
of AFRA, as AFRA has NO "agents". Leonard Henderson is unaware
of anything Anne Tower has ever "contributed" to AFRA or participated
in an AFRA yahoogroup. Leonard Henderson is mystified why Ann Tower is even
named.
Paragraph 5- Leonard Henderson states that he was quite ill at the time,
but believes that Dennis Hinger was removed due to his egregious behavior.
Hinger was also extremely ill and his thought processes apparently deteriorated.
Leonard Henderson denies that Hinger was ever an "agent" of AFRA. Henderson
denies that AFRA or anybody in AFRA is participating in a "market".
Paragraph 6- Leonard Henderson acknowledges that Shell's statements in
this paragraph are unusually accurate, except Leonard Henderson has never
been a member of the AFRA Board of Directors.
Paragraph 7- Leonard Henderson does not know if Susan Jackson's address
is correct. Leonard Henderson denies that Susan Jackson is an "agent"
of AFRA.
Paragraph 8- Leonard Henderson does not know if Cletus Kiefer's address
is correct. Leonard Henderson denies that Cletus Kiefer is an "agent"
of AFRA. Leonard Henderson does not know (but highly doubts) whether Cletus
Kiefer "colluded with and enticed Wiseman dba Wiseman Studios to publish
"
Paragraph 12-
Leonard Henderson does not have sufficient knowledge of the allegations asserted in paragraph 12 of Plaintiff’s Complaint to be able to respond, and therefore, denies such allegations. Leonard Henderson denies that Dorothy Kernaghan-Baez was ever an "agent" of AFRA.Paragraph 23-
Leonard Henderson does not have sufficient knowledge of the allegations asserted in paragraphs 23 of Plaintiff’s Complaint to be able to respond, and therefore, denies such allegations. Leonard Henderson denies that Kathy Tilley, was ever an "agent" of AFRA.Paragraph 45-
Leonard Henderson is confused what Shell's "market" is. If her "market" is selling books, then the "favored medium" to promote that would be Internet Sites such as Barnes and Noble or Amazon. The term "the Internet" is rather vague and non-specific. The Internet is a system for transportation of digitized data between computers, not a "market".Referring to Shell's note "1", Leonard Henderson wonders, considering Shell's definitions, why Shell fails to include in her "complaint" numerous other "competitors" in her alleged "market" who merely have not had the misfortune of crossing her path.
Paragraph 51- Shell's statement- "By
2001, I was suffering wholesale copyright infringement, plagiarism and other
intellectual property violations by individuals, online groups, web sites and
organizations." begs notice that AFRA did not begin until 2002,
WHICH SHE CO-FOUNDED (See Paragraph 55), and finally disaffected from on
February 17, 2005 (Exhibit 6), which disaffection had nothing whatsoever to
do with "copyright infringement".
Paragraph 52- Leonard Henderson highly doubts Shell's assertion and
considers it as part of her Tinfoil Hat Conspiracy Theory. Should Shell
accuse Leonard Henderson of this, Leonard Henderson strenuously denies the
allegation of Paragraph 52.
Paragraph 53- Leonard Henderson states that when he refused to endorse
and publish Shell's Original "Advocate Warning" (Exhibit
7) ,
Shell DEMANDED that every reference to her materials be removed and DEMANDED
that we STOP promoting her materials and her website. Which DEMANDS I happily
complied with. She ASSISTED me in the complete sanitization of the AFRA website
of ANY reference to her website or use of her materials. Shell agreed that every
known scrap of hers had been removed from the AFRA website. (See Exhibit
1)
At no time since, has Leonard Henderson knowingly used anything that Shell
claimed ownership of, which Henderson would have considered an EXTREMELY FOOLISH
thing to do. Shell's allegation that AFRA retaliated against her is an
absolute fabrication and calumny. (See Exhibit 8)
Paragraph 54- Leonard Henderson states that apparently Shell's
"consumers" are who we in AFRA refer to as "CPS Victims",
who have ALREADY been "vulnerable to exploitation and abuse" by
CPS. Leonard Henderson believes that Shell's identification of them as
"consumers" in her "business market" to SELL her so-called
"goods and services" is remarkably calloused, especially
considering that most of these people were in abject poverty to begin with (hence
their CPS cases for "neglect" because of their poverty). Leonard
Henderson also finds, having been victimized by CPS himself, that even if a
parent may be making a decent income, by the time the CPS case is advanced, the
CPS victim loses his job, marriage, employability, and whatever savings the
family might have had. Nor is it uncommon for people being run through the CPS
meat grinder to lose their health, which happened to Leonard Henderson.
Paragraph 55- Leonard Henderson agrees that Suzanne
Shell was a co-founder of AFRA in 2002. As a co-founder of AFRA, Shell knows
perfectly well that AFRA is not a "business" or "enterprise"
as she now attempts to contrive. As a CO-FOUNDER, Shell certainly would
NOT have participated in the creation of a COMPETITOR. If there are any
"deficiencies" in the structure of AFRA, Shell as a CO-FOUNDER is complicit
in CREATING those alleged "deficiencies" that she now attempts
to fabricate an exploit.
Paragraph 56- Leonard Henderson states that Shell's given excuse for
withdrawing from AFRA had nothing whatsoever to do with her alleged
"reasons". Shell disaffected from AFRA because Leonard Henderson
refused to endorse and publish her personal Vendetta List- "Advocate
Warning" (which later became her bizarre, slanderous and libelous "
Shell deliberately prevaricates in citing the 2003 date. See Exhibit 12- Screen Shot of Shell's profane-justice.org website on May 2, 2004, wherein Shell is stating she is a member of AFRA. Shell's May 2003 date, if significant at all, likely would have been when I refused to publish her Vendetta List. Shell finally disaffected from AFRA on February 17, 2005. (Exhibit 6 and Exhibit 10)
Shell's membership in AFRA CenCom was revoked by Shell "double-agent" Kay Henson on February 18, 2005-

Paragraph 57-
Leonard Henderson observes that Shell put her materials on her websites into Adobe PDF format files with the password "I agree", which password Shell prominently displays and severely warns that by typing "I agree" the reader is agreeing to her malevolent agreement for use. My quotation of the words from her website, "I agree" here may constitute a violation of Shell's stated copyright.This group has been in operation for 2 years, now. It hardly seems that long, does it?
During that time, I have refrained from any participation in advocacy or training and withheld my information from dissemination
...(Exhibit 11)
So between 2002 and 2005, Shell was a principal in AFRA and after her
disaffection, she released nothing new, and REFRAINED from doing advocacy or
training. Shell now brings the allegation that AFRA stole her copyrighted
materials ON HER WATCH, that she alleges had already been stolen by 2001,
before AFRA existed, which she did NOTHING about, released NOTHING new after
her disaffection, and claims AFRA prevented her from doing advocacy or
seminars, which Shell states SHE REFRAINED FROM DOING. Also see Exhibit
13-
"Beyond Contempt" by Alan Prendergast, published on February 10,
2005 in Village Voice Media, wherein we read about Shell's infamy, bad
reputation and numerous other contradictions to Shell's claims in this
"Complaint".
Paragraph 59- Leonard Henderson notes that so
far as he knows, Shell's "certification program" springs from
her own self-certification and Shell's term "quality assurance
oversight" alludes to her pathological need to be the "boss of
the universe". Leonard Henderson does not know what this proclaimed "trade
secrets and proprietary information" is, but apparently it's what
many of us stumbled upon on our own as a result of own own experiences with
the system, massive self-study and learning curve. The knowledge Leonard
Henderson utilizes springs from Pamela Gaston's "Sui Juris" research
and from Roger Weidner's "Weidner Method", both of which were
absolutely and irrefutably independent from Suzanne Shell, whom Gaston and
Weidner regarded as a misguided "wanna be" and source of endless
trouble. Shell's claim to "extensive and unique information which was
not employed by or known to my competitors" is rather ambiguous,
amorphous, indeterminate, undefined, unspecified, and contemptuous.
Paragraph 60- Leonard Henderson agrees that if Shell does
possess "trade secrets and proprietary information" that
there indeed would be a "market" for "training and
information products" to people who want to be "family
advocates". If Shell's assertion is true, her error is in not
understanding how to run, promote, and advertise a BUSINESS. Shell making the
claim that everybody is stealing her stuff and fighting with everybody on
earth is a poor business model. Shell's assertions ignores the fact that
SHE
herself is a "non-trained, non-certified, self-professed family
advocate".
Paragraph 61- Leonard Henderson observes that Shell's assertion of
"advertised" means she put it on her rarely-visited website, which
is to this day hardly found by the usual Internet Search criteria people are
looking for. Which would be HOW somebody trying to conduct BUSINESS on the
internet would be found. Leonard Henderson has just now checked the HTML
source code on Shell's http://profane-justice.org
website and finds NO "meta
tags" directing search engine robots to index her material
for searchers. Additionally, had Shell KNOWN anything about robots, she could
have directed
the robots NOT to index her site, and thus her suit against
Internet Archive should NOT have had any merit. Like this
"complaint", that complaint was frivolous and vexatious, and Leonard
Henderson regrets that court didn't hand her her head over it. Leonard
Henderson is rather dumbfounded that Shell claims to "advertise"
"via the internet". Shell completely fails to do the learning curve
to learn how, but yet sues the Internet Archive for it's robots finding and
archiving her website. Which "being found" and indexed by search
engines is EXACTLY HOW you promote your website "via the internet".
This could be a description of the definition of "schizophrenia".
Paragraph 62-
Leonard Henderson does not have sufficient knowledge of the assertions in paragraph 62 of Plaintiff’s Complaint to be able to respond, and therefore, denies such assertions.Paragraph 64-
Leonard Henderson asserts that AFRA advertises NOTHING. The "oversight" we specify at http://familyrights.us/join/join.html is-You must agree to the following single condition-
No race supremacist, flaming men or women as a group, etc. Nothing of a "hate" nature.
Paragraph 65- Leonard Henderson states that we list the state groups,
which were almost all started by individuals and owned by those individuals.
We list those groups as THE function of our ASSOCIATION. This is NOT
"advertising".
Paragraph 66- Leonard Henderson states once again that listing groups is THE
function of our ASSOCIATION. This is NOT "advertising".
Paragraph 67- Leonard Henderson states that he has checked the AFRA
Oklahoma members listing, and cannot find anything such as
"advertising" Wiseman's stuff.
Paragraph 68- Leonard Henderson re-denies everything in the preceding
paragraphs of this Complaint already denied, and further denies Shell's
assertion that she has stated "facts", except those
previously assented to by Leonard Henderson.
Paragraph 69- Leonard Henderson has no idea who Lloyd Phillips and
Ringo Kamens are.
Paragraph 70-
Leonard Henderson states that Shell merely alleges she possesses "trade secrets or confidential information" or "proprietary content", which Henderson does not know whether she possesses such or whether she ever actually conducted a BUSINESS. Leonard Henderson denies being a "competitor" of Shell. Leonard Henderson highly questions Shell's assertion that "the defendants, who did not possess such knowledge or information and were not able, legitimately and within a reasonable time frame, to obtain it otherwise" as she does not define the time frame. Since Leonard Henderson does not know Shell's alleged top secret information, Henderson has no basis to compare what he has learned through the years, or had learned from Gastons and Weidner prior to Leonard Henderson knowing Suzanne Shell existed."By 2001, I was suffering wholesale copyright infringement, plagiarism and other intellectual property violations by individuals, online groups, web sites and organizations."
This was BEFORE AFRA EXISTED (As established in Paragraph
3). Had
these events already occurred as Shell alleges, THERE WOULD BE NO "trade
secrets and proprietary information" to seek. As Shell stated in
Paragraph 58- "I withheld releasing any new intellectual property
during this time." Leonard Henderson denies the assertions and
allegations in Paragraph 73.
Paragraph 74- Leonard Henderson denies the assertions and allegations
in Paragraph 74.
Paragraph 75- Leonard Henderson acknowledges that he was HIGHLY aware
of Shell's intent to belligerently assert copyright claims. Leonard
Henderson denies ever knowingly violating Shell's copyright, which Henderson
considered to be an EXTREMELY FOOLISH thing for anybody to do. (See
Exhibit 1)
Paragraph 76- Leonard Henderson states that he has checked the AFRA
Directors messages for August 26, 2004. I find messages #1247 through #1257.
There are no missing messages, and there is NOTHING said about anything based on
anything of Shell's.
Paragraphs 77-82- Leonard Henderson does not have sufficient knowledge of
the assertions in paragraphs 77-82 of Plaintiff’s Complaint to be able to
respond, and therefore, denies such assertions.
Paragraphs 83-90- Leonard Henderson does not have sufficient knowledge of
the allegations asserted in paragraphs 83-90 of Plaintiff’s Complaint to be
able to respond, and therefore, denies such allegations.
Paragraph 91- Leonard Henderson re-denies everything in the preceding
paragraphs of this Complaint already denied, and further deny Shell's assertion
that she has stated "facts", except those previously assented
to by Leonard Henderson.
Paragraph 92- Leonard Henderson denies that he is "liable for
this cause of action". Leonard Henderson has no idea who Lloyd Phillips
is.
Paragraph 93- Leonard Henderson denies having done anything in Shell's
definitions.
Paragraph 94-
Badadvocates" website and threats to sue anybody who alleged she did. (See Exhibit 2)a. Shell herein provides the evidence (Attached to her "Complaint"- TXu1-364-413, June 7, 2007) that puts the lie to her continuous denial of owning, or controlling the bizarre, slanderous and libelous content on the "
Paragraph 95- Leonard Henderson denies the allegations in Paragraph 95. We PROMOTE the works of others, highly credited and linked to the original sources. We have always wanted people to know we weren't making up our case against CPS operations in our own heads, and HIGHLY RECOMMEND people go see the ORIGINAL SOURCES. Additionally, we plainly and prominently display at our About Copyrights page-

Section 107, any copyrighted work on this website is distributed under fair use without profit or payment for non-profit research and educational purposes only.

http://fairuse.stanford.edu/"
See Exhibit 9- Suzanne Shell's Mar 10, 2004 advice to AFRA about "fair use".
Paragraph 96-
Leonard Henderson denies that AFRA has ever had such policy or attitude about "anything on the internet is public domain".Paragraph 98-
Leonard Henderson is unaware of when or who might have provided instructions on copying entire websites, but this information is widely available on the internet.Paragraphs 109-110-
Leonard Henderson observes that Shells' reading comprehension isn't so good. Or Shell is a deliberate prevaricator. See Exhibit 4http://www.geocities.com/family_rights_wv/?sample_letters.html on February 20, 2009 at 8:37pm PST and find no such document. Leonard Henderson further denies that Christy Amtower is an "agent" of AFRA.a- This message is gone, and it is unknown when. The logs do not find anything about Message #1481.
I suspect that probably I nuked it at Shell's demand at the time.b- Leonard Henderson visited
c- I have no idea what this alleged 4th Amendment letter is.
d- I cannot find any such thing as "Letter to Lawyer" on the AFRA website.
e- I have no idea what goes on at the Child Protection Reform yahoogroup, which is not an AFRA group. A Google Search of the entire AFRA website does not produce any such thing as "cha/kwaina" or "chakwaina".
f- I have no knowledge of what Kiefer might have done with a radio show.
g- Leonard Henderson states- I have examined the AFRA Cencom archives for March 14, 2006, beginning with message #11867 and ending with message #11937. All messages occur sequentially with no missing messages. I find Wiseman produced announcements of a Shell Seminar. I find no such thing as copyrighted work.
I did find this interesting message-

Shell
No talk. No bash. No mention. No opinion.
Either by friend or foe. Suzanne has made it clear that any thought she has put
on paper is copyrighted and its repetition will be met with vicious threats of
lawsuits. She has also made it clear that anyone expressing opinions about her
will be met with vicious attacks. Therefore, no words of hers should be
repeated, and no opinions about her should be stated here, by friend or foe.
Because even when friend (Kay) does it, others want to comment. So, the rule is
NOTHING.
GAH
===============
h- I have no idea what to look for, as Shell's description "verbatim content from an article on my copyrighted website" is rather vague.
i- I have no idea what did or did not happen with Wiseman.
j- I, Henderson have absolutely no idea what Shell is referring to as a "a discrete article and/or document from my web site". I, Henderson, of ALL PEOPLE in the universe have absolutely NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER in publishing anything of Shell's.
k- I have absolutely no idea whether Lisa Smith was an AFRA member or not, what state of the United States she is in, nor do I have any idea what this "entire article from my web site" might be that Shell alludes to.
l- I have searched the AFRA groups, and Google Searched the entire World Wide Web for "hdt.pdf" and find no such thing relating to Family Advocacy anywhere on the earth.
m- No knowledge
n- No knowledge
o- No knowledge
p- This was a dubious claim originating many years ago.
Paragraphs 112-116- Leonard Henderson denies the allegations contained
in paragraphs 112- 116.

paragraphs of this Complaint already denied, and further denies Shell's

in paragraphs 117- 124

in paragraphs 126-129

paragraph 131.
Paragraphs 132-139- Leonard Henderson does not have sufficient
knowledge of the allegations asserted in paragraphs 132 – 139 of Plaintiff’s
Complaint to be able to respond, and therefore, denies such allegations.
Paragraph 140- Leonard Henderson does not know what this "4th
amendment letter" is, can find no such letter in the AFRA website
archives and therefore, denies same.
Paragraph 141- Leonard Henderson does not know what this "Letter
to Lawyer" is, and can find no such letter in the AFRA website
archives and therefore, denies same.
Paragraphs 142-143- Leonard Henderson does not have sufficient
knowledge of the allegations asserted in paragraphs 142–143 of Plaintiff’s
Complaint to be able to respond, and therefore, denies such allegations.
Paragraph 144- Leonard Henderson finds 4 instances of a Shell Seminar
Announcement on the AFRA CenCom yahoogroup. Shell claims in Paragraph 61 that
the internet is how she advertises her "business", so Leonard
Henderson is mystified how promoting Shell's "business" advertising
is a copyright infringement.
Paragraph 145 -
Leonard Henderson cannot imagine what Shell is referring to as "verbatim content from an article on my copyrighted website" and therefore, denies same.Paragraph 183- Leonard Henderson states that the messages on AFRA Cencom
for September 13, 2004 begin at #8246 consecutively through #8255, with none

Michelle Bassett Home" certainly not having anything whatsoever to do
with Shell.
Paragraph 184- Leonard Henderson cannot imagine what this "entire
document from my web site in the files section of the AFRA website" is,
and therefore, denies same. I can categorically state that I WOULD NOT HAVE
BEEN SO FOOLISH.
Paragraph 185- Leonard Henderson denies "The Enterprise" exists.
Everything we do, because WHAT WE DO- is in FULL SUNSHINE. Shell has repeatedly
fabricated allegations of "copyright infringement" from whole cloth,
and to cast a blanket allegation such as "I do not know the full scope
of their criminal copyright infringements against me over the years" is
the epitome of her Tinfoil Hat Conspiracy Theory.
Paragraph 186- "Financial Gain" From the front page of the AFRA
website, which statement has been there for many years- "~We Promise~
AFRA will never sell anything for profit and we never charge for our
information. AFRA leadership supports this site as a service from our families
to yours. If you are helped, PAY IT FORWARD by helping families in YOUR

Paragraphs 187-190- Leonard Henderson denies the allegations contained in
paragraphs 187-190
Paragraphs 190-192- Leonard Henderson may accede that he is a
"person" "Sui Juris". Leonard Henderson does not accede to
whatever definitions Shell attempts to assign him. Leonard Henderson denies that
he is participating in an "enterprise" or conspiracy of any sort.

190-192.
Paragraphs 193-202- Leonard Henderson denies the allegations contained in
paragraphs 193-202
Paragraphs 203-204- Leonard Henderson does not have sufficient knowledge
of the allegations asserted in paragraphs 203-204 of Plaintiff’s Complaint to

paragraphs 205-210.

Paragraphs 217-241- Leonard Henderson denies the allegations contained in
paragraphs 217-241
Paragraph 242- Shell details in her book "Profane Justice"
allowing her husband Dennis to use a "Martinet" which is some sort of
a whipping tool. This incidentally is where I stopped reading her book, which
she had sent me free of charge to read and RECOMMEND.
Paragraph 243- Leonard Henderson does not have sufficient knowledge of
the allegations asserted in paragraph 243 of Plaintiff’s Complaint to be able
to respond, and therefore, denies such allegations.
Paragraph 244- Leonard Henderson observes that Shell's certification as a
"Family Advocate" is a self-certification, and suspects her
"Press Pass" was also of her own creation.
Paragraphs 245-250- Leonard Henderson does not have sufficient knowledge
of the allegations asserted in paragraph 245-250 of Plaintiff’s Complaint to
be able to respond, and therefore, denies such allegations.
Paragraph 251- Leonard Henderson does know that Brenda Swallow, named in
this Complaint WAS part of Shell's "group" and WAS "trained
and certified" by her. See Paragraph 21.
Paragraph 252- Obviously Shell WAS and IS, even NOW stalking the
defendants See Paragraph 101. Leonard Henderson believes Shell is OBSESSED with
her Tinfoil Hat Conspiracy Theory that AFRA is to blame for all her woes,
real or imagined. (Note added not in original - See
newspaper article "Beyond Contempt")
Paragraphs 253-255- Leonard Henderson denies the allegations contained in
paragraphs 253-255.
Paragraph 256- Leonard Henderson did confidentially ask Kay Henson some
time in 2003 if Shell might be developing Alzheimer's Disease because of her
inability to "get along" and apparent wild mood swings, temper
tantrums, and belligerent manners that I had not seen before. I asked this
