Statement by Jeffrey Seelman

"Dear Fluffy Bunnies,
Below is my statement, and I have sent this to Rochelle Moore and many other people. You have my permission to spread the word.

Rochelle Moore I am calling you out. You are a warlock* and traitor to all witches and authors. You have stolen my work and profited from it. Below is my statement and proof.

My name is Jeffrey Seelman. I am a professional psychic and exorcist who lives in the United States. Rochelle Moore has plagiarized my work. The proof of her plagiarism is included below. There are many other examples in the book: "Beyond the Third Eye" of Rochelle Moore's plagiarism. I have decided to contact an attorney and Interpol. I have a copy of her book, and there is no denying her criminal actions. My interview with Russia's Pravda was conducted by e-mail with the editor of Pravda in June 2007, and I have every single original e-mail to prove that every single word was my own, and mine alone. I am also going to contact Russia's Pravda. In an earlier post, I tried to defend Rochelle Moore, who appeared on my radio show June 5, 2010. Since then, I have received irrefutable proof that Rochelle Moore is a plagiarist.

"It is natural for us to want to communicate with loved ones and friends who have passed on."

"Most people communicate with Ghosts and Spirits during sleep. During our
waking state, certain emotionally charged environments like old buildings, homes and apartments, violent activity or crime scenes, severe substance abuse, anger and depressive states of mind, can create an atmosphere where ghosts can be seen more easily. We all generate and release emotional energy into our environments. This can accumulate in our living and working environments, and attract ghosts."

Negative ghost, or ghost with bad intentions, do attack individuals, families, businesses, groups and they feed on fear, anger and rage. Negative ghosts are often territorial and attach themselves to property and people where they try to affect those on emotional levels in negative ways.

Chops applauds you for pursuing your legal rights in this matter, Jeffrey. Moore has gotten away with her plagiarisms for years because she was considered too small for the big publishers to deal with (such as Llewellyn), and many individual writers who had internet work stolen simply didn't know how to pursue her, or how to discover her real identity. Good luck, and keep us posted if you will.

*Amy explained that Jeffrey means "oathbreaker" or "deceiver" by his usage of the word 'warlock.'

Amy Lamb Statement of Apology and Retraction

"On June 5, 2010, STARCLEAR Radio featured Irish Witch Rochelle Moore as a guest. We recommended her latest book, “Beyond The Third Eye”, to our listeners, and directed them to where to go to purchase it.

Subsequent to the show, on June 17, 2010, Rochelle Moore’s publisher, Andborough Publishing LLC at www.andborough.com, made the announcement they had dropped RM as an author and pulled her book off the market due to plagiarism.

Upon contacting her former publisher, they (Robert and Pamela Yarborough) provided us with hard evidence of plagiarism.

Even more shocking was the evidence provided that RM had plagiarized an interview that Jeffrey Seelman had done with Russian online magazine, Pravda in 2007. Here is Jeffrey’s article, which he did for zero compensation:

http://english.pravda.ru/science/mysteries/03-07-2007/94438-ghosts_sleep-0

Jeffrey still retains the original emails with Russian editor Aleksey Naumov, and we have forwarded these emails to the Yarboroughs so that they would have hard evidence in return from STARCLEAR.


For all of our STARCLEAR Radio listeners who, because of the show, or our recommendations, went out and bought Rochelle Moore’s “Beyond The Third Eye”, or any of her previous book publishings, we are deeply sorry. We regret having this person as a guest on our show and we regret recommending a book which we later found out to be nearly a complete cut-and-paste job that stole many good people's words for pure profit.


To RM:
I will let Jeffrey handle the bulk of addressing you, as it is his right, it was his words that were stolen, and therefore I will only say a few things here. You are not an author. Publishing cut-and-paste books and profiting off of them is stealing, not authoring. Operating like this hurts people. It hurts people who have worked very hard. When you make money from stealing words, you literally steal money from honest people’s pockets, and that is why plagiarism is a crime. You must stop this. No one knows more than I do how hard it is to make a living in this world. But this is not the way to do it. No matter how difficult your situation, sinking to criminal behavior is never ok. Please seek help to change your behavior, and to try to take responsibility for your actions. If you don’t, a court of law would have no trouble forcing you to take responsibility for your actions.



To Pamela and Robert Yarborough:
You are good and decent and honest people. We trust you completely. You have been wronged by RM as well as Jeffrey and I have been wronged by RM. You have been open, honest, and very supportive and cooperative in providing all of us with solid proof and indisputable evidence. We hope your publishing company has all the success in the world in the future. We hope everyone reading this will continue to support Andborough Publishing, as we plan to.


To the Fluffy Bunnies:
I have come to love this rogue band of justice-doers. While I cannot say I support your guerilla-style tactics, your hearts are in the right place. I operate out of a “justice theme” myself, so I understand. It is no coincidence that we have all been brought together in this scenario in order to right a wrong.

You all knew the truth. You were right.

I am so sorry for how frustrating it must have been to know the truth, yet not to be listened to. I am so sorry you knew the truth, yet had to watch, powerless, as RM sold more books, published more books, gathered more and more followers (some of whom have been unkind to you), and made media appearances.

It had to be incredibly frustrating for you, and I empathize greatly with you.

You can feel proud that it was by your persistence ALONE that was the catalyst to the truth becoming known. I am humbled and glad for the apologies, kind words of support, and good humor you all have expressed which have “carried” Jeffrey and I as we went through this gut-wrenching revelation.

Proud Bunnies carry on"

Thanks, Amy. 

The Play's The Thing

 ..
In a painful and ironic twist of fate, Jeffrey Seelman, the StarClear host who interviewed Rochelle Moore on June 5, 2010 (see article), has just discovered that Rochelle stole at least two paragraphs of his that had been written for a Pravda article in 2007, and included them in her Beyond The Third Eye book, which was pulled from the market last Thursday for plagiarism by publisher Andborough Publishing.

Chop's is stunned. While we have known of her many plagiarisms, the sheer hubris of appearing on someone's show, with a host whose material you stole, is dumbfounding. We are fairly sure Moore had no idea this was the man she had stolen from; very few people could be that crass, and we doubt Moore keeps extensive lists of her purloined material sources.

We extend our sympathy to Jeffrey - and Amy, who was very upset at this news -; it was a cruel trick to have been played out on them, especially after publically defending Moore at this time.We wish him our best, and hope he will pursue the issue in a court of law. Moore profited from Jeffrey's writings; the piper is calling and he wants his due.

Moore Damage Control

 The first post gives you an idea of what Rochelle Moore is fabricating on all her Facebook groups (and spamming emails) to try to cover her arse on this plagiarism bust.

Poster: I've never read anything put out by this author or publishing company, BUT...mails I've received from the author's fanclub stated the reason for the 25% was because they cut out several pages of end notes and sourcing footnotes to reduce the page count to a more compatible size for cheaper publishing of the book. The lower number from the new publisher may be with the source citations re-added by the new publisher. The fanclub also has said the complaints all came from 1 coven group that has a personal vendetta against the author for some reason. I don't know today is the first I've heard of them.

Response from Robert Yarborough, Andborough Publishing:

Andborough Publishing did NOT cut any pages, end notes or footnotes to reduce page count. We still have all emails and electronic submissions chapter by chapter as sent from the author.

Go back and read my earlier post concerning the 25% and resource pages...not a factor.

Also, go check my post concerning plagiarism in general. http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=16959&post=89071&uid=261263618178#post89071

and the release:
http://www.andborough.com/2010/06/beyond-the-third-eye-pulled-from-publication/

.......................

To the first poster: regardless of where the complaints came from... Rochelle Moore is a plagiarist. Does it matter who calls the cops to tell them your house is being burglarized? The sole problem that a number of people in the pagan community have with Rochelle is that she is scamming to profit off the pagan community, and it's been known for a number of years.
