The Time Line - 1979 - 1999



Evidence is a wonderful thing.  When you have transcripts, voice mails, depositions, affidavits, old love letters and other forms of proof it provides a depth of insight which the disordered generally think they can ignore.  

NOTES:  If you find a broken link, or one which no longer exists, contact me so I can repost the exhibit.  I was told in early July 2018 by a journalist, who has reason to know, John is attempting to clean up his online presence.  See more at 
due-diligence.  

Morgan Gell was my first-born child from my first marriage, which took place when I was 17.  Her father, Richard L. Barteaux was a psychopath, as is Morgan.  Her husband, Jay, who frequently posts lies about me, is for disinformation hire.  One of his former employers, Van Hughes, now deceased, once told me he is good for research but not to trust his other assertions about competence.


Other People You Will Meet Here

Craig Franklin - See Website
     Melinda's former husband.  

Dan O'Dowd - Craig's boss at Green Hills Software, Inc., a drone contractor for the DOD.  


                                                  The Saga of John Fund and his friends

All of the individuals involved with John Fund and his co-conspirators Dick Cheney, and Karl Rove and included in this Time Line - Narrative, which is a little complex, as you will see.

1979 - John Fund gets his first job as a political operative working for Ed Crane and the
            Kochs to gain control of the Libertarian nomination for president.     

1981 - Summer -   Melinda Pillsbury-Foster and Janice Vargo take a trip to Northern
             California to visit family and see  friends from the Libertarian Party.  Stopping in
             Sacramento they meet John  Fund, who has promised them a tour of the Capitol. 
             John uses the occasion to ask Melinda to have her brother, Charles Arthur Pillsbury, 
             who is a Legislative Assistant and in law school at Davis, to get him a job.  Surprised, Melinda told him she would prefer he did not. 

            Melinda later learns from her brother John contacted him directly and told him he
            was her boy friend, which was untrue. 

1982 - John Fund begins an internship with Evans and Novak with money provided by a fundraiser put on by Melinda's supporters in California.
  At this time, Melinda did not know Fund had been working for the Crane Machine to take the LP Nomination for President.  This information was withheld by Eric Garris and Justin Raimondo who admitted this in their newsletter for Anti War in 2006, when, according to Lew Rockwell, they accepted he would never pay them off for having covered for him.  Garris and Rockwell were both Crane supporters.  

1983 - John goes to work at Evans and Novak in Washington D. C., working part time writing for The Star. 

1984 - April - At the recommendation of Robert Novak Fund is hired at the Wall Street
            Journal as a deputy editorial features editor.

1985 - Fund named a member of the WSJ Editorial  Board.  He will remain so until 2001. 

1986 - October - Fund becomes an editorial page writer specializing in politics and 
            government.


NOTE:  In 1988 Melinda is married to Craig Franklin and views John as an old friend. In the interim, 1988 - 1999, Melinda's youngest daughter, who was admitted to Mt. Holyoke, ends up going to Hillsdale on John's recommendation.  This was a questionable choice since Mt. Holyoke was far superior and cost the same.  John continually asks Melinda to have Ayn come see him when he is at Hillsdale speaking.  Ayn declines to do so.

Dates, information, and documents on Morgan will now appear. 



January 22, 1998 - “Citation for Conservatorship,”  issued by the Superior Court of Santa 
                                  Barbara, Case No. 222783, Judge Thomas R. Adams, Dated January 22,
                                 1998, naming her as conservator for her disabled son, Arthur.  Melinda
                                  remains Arthur's caretaker in 2018.

March 22, 1998 - Arthur Foster shoots himself through the palate into the brain due to 
                                emotional abuse by Craig Franklin who told him he did not want to be 
                               bothered with him two weeks earlier. 

March 28, 1998 - Morgan calls Melinda at the hospital and tells her she needs a heart
                              transplant, attempting to persuade her to turn off Arthur's life support.  
                              This is a flat lie.  She was paid $10,000 to do this by Craig Franklin, who
                              made the payment as noted as 'for her heart problem.'   He was well aware
                              Morgan had no such problem.  

                             This payment is mentioned in a conflict between Franklin and Morgan.
                             Franklin wanted to be repaid as Morgan was not able to ensure her brother
                             did not survive.   

                          Melinda reminds Scott of his previous behavior which made it impossible to
                          trust him with the other children.  2018 - Scott is still in prison for hiring a
                          hitman to kill his estranged wife.   Informationhttps://craigfranklin.blogspot.com/2014/08/update-on-whereabouts-of-jonathan-scott.html

September 1998 - Eugene Volokh, who Morgan has been dating for over two years, dumps
                         her.

October 1998 - Morgan is on a trip to New York, London and Paris with Craig, her adopted 
                        father when on October 26th, she begins a sexual relationship with John Fund.
                       Melinda is in the hospital for a corneal transplant. 


March 8, 1999 -  MORGAN - Record of Abortion
                              The abortion took place March 8, 1999 at Pacifica Women's Health Care in
                              Los Angeles 

                           Declaration by Melinda's daughter, Ayn, which includes testimony of abuse
                           of Melinda by Franklin. 

NOTE:  A few documents are included from the divorce to show what was at stake for Craig and Dan O'Dowd and also to establish the ongoing cooperation between Craig and John Fund.

September 17, 1998 - Documents from law suit filed by Glenn Hightower against Dan 
                                  O'Dowd.
Annexed hereto and marked as Exhibit 7, Nos a, b., c, d, and e, are true and exact copies of the originals in my possession of the following court documents:

Decision that unlawful action is not proved.  



                           Declaration by Melinda's daughter, Ayn, which includes testimony of abuse
                           of Melinda by Franklin. 
                          Craig continually stole my mail, or had it stolen and changed the address for 
                          bills to be received as a form of harassment.  Melinda was told this was
                          standard operating procedure for Misho Clients and the informant believed 
                          Misho instructed them in how to do this. 

August 16, 1999 - Divorce Judgment, August16,1999,” From the Superior Court of Santa 
                                 Barbara from of Melinda's divorce from Craig Franklin, Case No. 222675. 
                                 Awarded stock, to be paid for by Franklin, she never received it.   

June 5, 1999 - Inventory of Property in House, ordered by the Court. Exhaustive inventory
                         itemizing all items in the marital house. 

                       Declaration itemizes lies told to Doug by Morgan. 

September, 1999 -  The Weasel Search Tape is made.  Morgan sends it to Melinda for safe
                                   keeping.  Melinda gives it to her attorney. 
                                   Melinda was not speaking to Morgan because she had discovered 
                                   Morgan was being paid $5,000 a month to slander and libel her by
                                   her then husband,  Craig Franklin. 

                                   
Morgan  left California supposedly to work for Matthew Earl Jones in
                                   New York.  She told Melinda this did not work out but there is no 
                                   evidence this was ever true.  The evidence leads to the conclusion 
                                   Morgan was having sex with Craig by September of 1998 after Eugene 
                                   dumped her and she lost her other value to Craig.  In NY she began a 
                                   sexual relationship with John Fund.  This was known to Craig because 
                                   Morgan was occupying another room from Craig's and Fund answered 
                                   the phone in the morning when Craig was calling Morgan. 

                                   By report from Morgan, the two men agree to cooperate to destroy
                                   Melinda's credibility.  Subsequent events support this partial 
                                   explanation.


                             Morgan calls and records Craig Franklin admitting to fraud during his
                             divorce from Melinda. Craig is in Georgia at the time, attending a libertarian
                            conference, Advocates for Self-Government.       
 
October 27, 1999  - 
Fax to the Wall Street Journal
                                  John refuses to answer Melinda's questions.  Within 90 seconds this
                                  fax is headed to the WSJ central receiving point.  Melinda is later told it 
                                  was copied at least 5 times before hitting Fund's desk.   

November 28, 1999 -  “Arthur Foster Medical Letters,” These document the permanence of 
                                the disabilities resulting from two major brain injuries.

Subj:Letter on previous conversation

From:MPF1free
To:john.fund@edit.wsj.com
BCC:murat1972us@yahoo.com


Dear John,
      I am certainly glad that we talked earlier today.  I will begin by reiterating the content of our conversation.
      I do believe that your emotional end mental condition is deteriorating making your working life problematical.  I am concerned about you and will, as I said, pray for your well being and moral health.
      I do not believe that you are yet being completely frank with me.    Regrettably, I do continue to believe that you have used a combination of violence, manipulation and fraud to control Morgan.  You have not been appropriate or ethical.  Telling your friends and professional associates one thing and doing another is unacceptable.  Morgan did call me this morning but she told me that she was actually in the room while we , you and I, were talking and heard me ask to talk to her.  You lied again.  She has also told me that you watch her when she writes me e-mails and insist on monitoring her conversations sometimes.  I had suspected that because of her tone when this is happening.  This probably seemed like a tinsy little lie to you but lying is simply not acceptable.  It must stop.
      You and Morgan are desperately in need of professional intervention.  I discussed this with Morgan and she is going to find a therapist who specializes in couples counseling.  
      You once had a romantic relationship with Morgan.  She is still important to you.  You told me that not four hours ago.
      Either you two will resolve your differences and become a functioning couple or you will be enabled by appropriate mediation to part company in a way that leaves each of you stronger and able to function as individuals.  This may include reparations from yourself to Morgan so that she can build an independent life for herself.  Restitution for previous inappropriate behavior that caused loss is not blackmail.
      I know it is difficult for you to confront the impact that your behavior had on her.  But this is an essential element of effective therapy.
      Morgan is an intelligent and innovative person who reacts to your inappropriate behavior in ways that can and will harm you.  
      You and I discussed beginning three way conversations between us, you, myself and Morgan.  I am willing.  While that is certainly possible it is not really as important as you beginning that process between yourself and a reputable therapist/mediator.  A therapist will be under professional constraints regarding your confidentiality and removed emotionally from the issues.  That is good.  I am Morgan's mother but I do not want to be that involved in the process.
      Please cooperate and get into therapy with Morgan.  This is not about 'winning' or 'losing.'  It is about you and truth and doing the right thing for both of you.
      The world cannot be saved if those who would be its salvation depend on lies.

I will continue to pray for both of you and for a positive outcome.

Melinda

Subj:I am worried about you.

BCC:MPF1free, Mrsdewinter72


Dear John,
      I am worried that I have not heard from you.   You really, really need to get started in your recovery process and, frankly, I do not see how that is possible without some professional help.
      I know with Arthur I sometimes need to push him.  I have to do that just today to get him our of the dumps and off to church.  He was much better when he came home; he had been out, visited with friends and had lunch and companionship.
      Your needs are different, of course.  You need to get straight with the past so you and Morgan can move on, either together or separately.
      Friends can help.  How about if I call some of the people we both know and see if they agree that you should get into therapy?   I think you would be surprised how many people in public life have had problems and handled them through just this kind of process.
      I don't think I ever mentioned that my best friend Shelly's husband is with the CIA and he has had problems himself with his mother.  Her problems were much worse than yours but therapy has helped enormously.  He is in Europe right now because his work took him over there, but  I could talk to Shelley and ask her for some referrals on the east coast.  Shelley and I have never seen eye to eye on politics but she knows a lot of people.  
      But there are other possibilities.  I will think about it and see who I can come up with in NY who could be helpful.  Maybe I should call Wally?  We hae both known him for so many years that he is sure to be sympathetic.

Hope everything is going better and that you are in therapy with Morgan.

HED: May the Force Be With You
DEK: Star Wars is a classic.

    Who would have thought that a film set long ago in a galaxy far away
could have such an impact on the here-and-now. But nearly a quarter-century
after its release, Star Wars remains a force to be reckoned with. A poll by
Britain's Channel 4 found that a plurality of 20,000 voters considered it
the greatest movie ever, ahead of Francis Ford Coppola's "The Godfather,"
Frank Darabont's "The Shawshank Redemption," Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp
Fiction" and Billy Wilder's "Some Like it Hot."
    The poll, unscientific in its methods but telling in its results,
was met with the usual tutting from the sophisticated classes. The
Guardian's Peter Bradshaw said the result depressed him. "When people are
asked for their favorite film, they tend to go for something they view as a
classic, and it's disturbing that people now think 'Star Wars' is a
classic."
But Star Wars is a classic. This is not because it turned out to be such a
box-office smash; lesser films, such as "Titanic," yielded a higher gross.
Nor is it because Star Wars can lay any claim to being a work of art; for
that, one must turn to such masterpieces as Orson Welles's "Citizen Kane"
(#19 in the Channel 4 poll) or, more recently, Ang Lee's fanciful "Crouching
Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and Alejandro Gonzalez Iniarritu's devastating "Amores
Perros."
Star Wars is a classic, rather, of moral and political allegory, rendered
all the more effective by masquerading as a cartoonish sci-fi adventure
flick. Neither unsubtle nor overtly sermonizing, the movies in the series
instruct impressionable youngsters in some very necessary themes: about the
existence of evil and the possibility of salvation; about finding one's way
in the world (or galaxy); about the ultimate hollowness of remaining neutral
in a moral struggle; about courage, nobility, self-sacrifice and a sense for
the divine. All of this entitles Star Wars to its place of honor in the
hearts of all.
There's more. For many East Europeans at the time, to watch Star Wars, with
its depiction of the militarized and totalitarian "dark side of the force,"
was to realize, possibly for the first time, that it was no more than a
futuristic facsimile of their own regime.
Nattering nabobs may find the point we're making ever so crass. But to the
extent that Star Wars prompted many in the West-and East-to acquire the
rudiments of a decent moral sensibility, the movie has performed an
invaluable service. Next to this, what do its artistic defects matter?

ATT Bill from the NY Apartment for Melinda Pillsbury-Foster documenting use by John Fund

There were two land lines in the NY apartment.  One was in Morgan's bedroom the other in Melinda's.  Melinda was not spending much time in NY because she was full time caretaker for her son, Arthur, and her younger son, Justin, was still high school age.  At this time, all calls appeared on the phone bill.  Morgan and Melinda each had a cell phone, as did John Fund.  But while Fund was staying at the apartment with Morgan, this unknown at the time to Melinda, he was sneaking into Melinda's room to call his 'female acquaintances.'  

Morgan dictated a time line of Fund's time with her at the apartment in 2000 - 2001 because of the lies Fund was telling about their relationship.  This time line covers the entire year of 2000 through February 2002 in detail and was finished before the issue of use of the phone came to light.    

This information was disclosed when Morgan was asked to account for calls which Melinda's bookkeeper and Melinda could not identify.  Melinda asked her bookkeeper to send on copies of the phone bills, one of which you see below to Morgan, who said she never used Melinda's phone.  But Morgan went over a copy of the bill showing the calls and then called the numbers herself.  The identity of those receiving the calls along with the dates were illuminating to Morgan as all of them on this particular bill were to Diane Sykes, then a judge in Milwaukee, WI.  

All of the calls were to other women.  The ones on this bill were to Diane Sykes, a sitting judge in Milwaukee, WI recently considered, in 2018, for the U. S. Supreme Court.  

Fund Correspondence with Diane Sykes  


 212-532-4848 was the number for the phone in Melinda's bedroom.




2000
 November – John starts coming over to the apartment on 34th Street and living with Morgan.  They watch movies together, go out to eat, and sleep together.  Their conversation went to their mutual interest in Star Wars and John's fascination with his rising rating on Google.  

New Year’s Eve 2001 
John had been staying with Morgan for 4 days straight.  They are bedmates and best buddies.  Morgan is about to move out however since Melinda is closing the apartment in Manhattan.
