The Funny Pages

Following a well-deserved rest from the tedious and incessant cyberloonybin world of RM, Chops has decided to lighten the mood from the dreary boot-sucking mud-mirings of the past few months. Below are a few priceless gems written by RM, from her plagiarized collection of cut & paste formerly known as Beyond The Third Eye. Let's review a portion of what RM calls The Universal Laws.

Rochelle Moore, on Albert Einsteins Theory of Relativity (page 24):

'When trying to understand the law of relativity, our first principle to understand is in reality nothing is good or bad, it's just the way it should be in a perfect state of grace. The law of relativity states, if we practice relating our situations to something worse off than ourselves, then we'll always be happy and fulfilled.

This law gives us the ability to stay  connected to our hearts when proceeding to solve the situations and basically translates to "Nothing is good or bad until it's related to something of meaning to you."

To simplify the Law of Relativity for mere mortals within this law we find, the deeper we dig, that everything is relative to something and if used correctly we win.'
 Rochelle Moore, on The Law of Correspondence (pg. 26):
The Law of Correspondence means that your outer world will be a direct mirror reflection of your inner world and that you are totally in charge; whether you wish to be a victim or ecstatically happy. The Law of Correspondence is a foundation principle of virtually all religions and schools of thought; nothing can happen to you unless it corresponds to something inside you.

An example of this is people who are constantly in bad health. Their attitudes reflect what is going on inside their being and are caused by them.
 Rochelle Moore, on The Law of Vibration (pg 25-27):

The Law of Vibration playes a very huge part in understanding Universal Consciousness. If everything is vibrational and communication is instant between everything, if everything is tied together within the unity of energy, then we are all tied into the cosmic universe.


This Universal Law brings balance, fulfillment and harmony into our lives and a life without the Law of Polarity denies us the ability to fully experience our physical lives.


If you are experiencing illness and disease you also have within that situation the potential and possibility to experience vibrant health by making the conscious choice to do so.

Rochelle Moore, on the Law of Cause and Effect (pg. 28):

The Law of Cause and Effect states that absolutely everything happens for a reason.

The Law is more commonly known as Karma (see Karma one of my first books on Amazon) works the same for everyone at all times.


Karma expands. Once we have an imprint of action in our minds, it tends to be habit-forming. Then it becomes normal. You reap whatever you sew.
Rochelle Moore, on the Law of Attraction (pg. 31):

The main principle of  the Law of Attraction is "you get what you believe in."
Rochelle Moore, on the Law of Compensation (pg. 33):
The Law of Compensation translates to: "You will be compensated for your work." What you put out you will get back in return. Eventually, with all the right effort you can have anything you want. 

Some people's lives are cut short though, either because they give up and quit or just simply lack the vision and motivation to continue.
The Law of Compensation states that for every loss there is a gain and for everything we gain there must be a loss.
  .........................................................................

How fun was that, kids? And you thought the Creationists were funny.

In honor of the above hilarious mishmash of irrationality, illogic and perfectly splendid misundertanding of poor Albert in particular, I give you Rochelle Moore in another incarnation as a very short Thithilian:

Character...you either have it or you don't..

..
Since Chops first began it's peek into the plagiarism of Rochelle Moore, much has happened, and the majority of it has played out in the virtual world of Facebook, where Moore has made her home for the last couple of years, forming group after group to try to garner fans (and book-buyers) from the pagan community.

Although she is well over 50 years old, she associates herself with the youngest and most naive of the pagan community, fostering friendships in private PM's, rarely saying anything on public boards. She & son Shaun have campaigned relentlessly against the Fluffy Bunny group who blew the plagiarism whistle (and has now had to go secret =EDIT Update: they finally managed to get the Fluffies group banned from FB=), successfully getting at least 15 people and 2-3 groups banned. Her and her son apparently have 30+ Facebook alts (Chops has a report that her husband, Richard - the former 'Kashmir Agents for author Rochelle Moore' - left her shortly after the plagiarism became public), and at least 15 groups and pages between them, covering paganism, marijuana, violent Irish nationalism and hate speech against England and Jews. They still have Irish tourism pages and groups, although after the Midsummer event fiasco, they deleted the tour 'company' gmail and associated PayPal account -rather quickly- after the organizations in both Ireland and the UK that monitor scams and tourism fraud were notified of their activities.

Anyone who criticizes her (or even discusses the plagiarism) is accused of witch hunting and subsequently attacked, smeared, lied about and Reported until they can kick in the automated Facebook ban system, which simply operates on an automated algorythm: xx numbers of Reports and an account is closed. No oversight, no human checks to see what's going on; if you can log into enough accounts and click Report enough times, you can get someones account instantly banned. (Way to go, Facebook; stellar asinine system.).

They have abused the Facebook system and intent of the site tremendously; we hope at some point Facebook will finally take notice!, and do a simple IP check on all those phony accounts, because what they are doing, essentially, is using Facebook to deceive and bully people, and possibly defraud them to boot

Oh yeah, and Chops is now on their target list. ;)  Mom's so proud!

"Also - we now have a new objective against Butt N Chops who are witch harassers"

You can see that here, their hate site designed to generate false 'pagan outrage' against the Fluffy Bunny group and Andborough Publishers; under the guise of ending all pagan and witch discrimination. Click See more to the left in their group info.

Chops can demonstrate Rochelle's character, however.

 Rochelle Moore claims she took 'Poppy Wild"s photo in NY:





(Poppy is an alt of theirs). The 'photo' Rochelle claims she took of her friend Poppy in New York   ....is a still from The Forbidden Kingdom, a 2008 Jackie Chan movie, filmed in China. The actress is Ni Chang (Li Bing Bing), the photo credit: Chan Kam Chuen. Taken in China. Please note that Elvira, Frederick, Poppy and Moore are all the same persons; either Moore or her son Shaun.














Then we have the sweet and emotional claim that this woman (another Moore alt), below:













 is "my late mother Dawn, a brilliant psychic."

Except the photo is of Mrs. B, a famous UK fashion icon who owns the chain of Brown's UK couture stores, very much alive:













..and so on. Chops could fill pages with this sort of deceits. You get the idea.

Soo...the wheel turns, the piper calls, and rumor has it that there are numerous lawsuits in the works against this dotty woman. Karma, and the Rule of Three - two oft-repeated and favorite phrases of Rochelles, appear to be preparing to pay a personal visit to her. We hope she'll be able to appreciate the irony.

Starclear Takes A Hike

 ..
 Following Jeffrey Seelman's retraction regarding Rochelle Moore, which can be heard here, he was asked a few questions regarding his statement on the Facebook group, Fluffies.

The post follows (transcription of Jeffrey's audio retraction is in blue). Jefforcist and his girl/StarClear partner , Amy Lamb, had been in Fluffies chatting it up since just before he discovered Moore had plagarised his work, too.

The post:
I have some issues with Jeffreys statement.

Jeffery: "...we did get a barrage of people in the chatroom and ...-snip-...saying 'hey, don't have this person on, we have some proof that she's a plagiarist." Well, you know, I looked, very hard, and found that among some true statements were some statements that wer NOT true and so I had to make a decision whether or not to have this person on because um in and around some true statements were actually some statements that were not accurate so I made a decision to go ahead and have this person on.."

".. and ..it wasn't until - I mean the interview went fine - it wasn't really until several days afterwards that we were contacted by the actual publisher who had finally run a plagiarism report on Rochelle Moore and found out that indeed she was plagiarizing other authors works. And so uh we felt terrible. But among this information -and of course I wanted just to leave this go and not continue with this and move on with StarClear radio we're a positive show, we're positive people
-snip-"
..so my idea was to essentially move on. Amy did some more digging, and between her and the publishers, found out that I was one of the people she had plagiarized..and..so that's why ..it was really quite shocking. -snip-"

"And so, unfortunately we had this person on on June 5th that we have to apologise for - there was no way for us to know she was a plagiarist at the time,"

Except that by your own admission, you had access, prior to the show, to information. You state that you found true info. You were also sent the Bustin' Chops blog, where numerous examples of Moore's plagiarism are documented, cited, sourced and proven for anyone who chose to look. Despite this, you accused the people who were trying to show you of being malicious.

I am also curious what information you were given that was untrue..?
Jeffery: :" But it's kind of interesting that, because of the radio show that we did, it actually set things into motion where the publisher of her latest book where she plagiarized my work and other authors as well, many other authors, that she was discovered. "
Er, no. Fluffies and the publishers were on this while you were still posting your support of Moore. This is rather offensive to all the people who have worked for 2-3 years to expose her plagiarism, Jeffrey.
Jeffery: "So some good finally did come out of this. At least we know that she is a plagiarist, it could be proven, all the reports have been done and her publisher has formally announced this. So we can safely talk about this, we're not making accusations that are unfounded here, her book has been pulled.. -snip- "

I ask again - what accusations regarding Moore did you receive that were unfounded, either before or during the June 5th show?
 Unfortunately, Jefforcist and his Amy decided that this was far too direct a conversation, deleted all their posts and left the group. We feel that Jefforcist has tried to rewrite things to benefit his own image and cover his own arse; which is understandable, but by doing so he inadvertently accused others of falsehoods & maliciousness, and assumed a role in the Moore bust that didn't exist.

The publisher had publically announced the plagiarism on June 17th; Jefforcist was still posting the following support statement (in various groups and emails/PM's) on June 20th -in response to the plagiarism bust:


 They had variously stated that they did look into the warnings before the show, that they didn't have time, and several other versions between the two. That they have deleted all their posts from the Fluffy group so that their previous words could not be seen, speaks volumes as to their credibility.

Obviously, they felt foolish since they had previously been warned, and even after the publishers issued their public statement, they still backed the losing horse. ..and, and ..what about those 'Advanced Psychic Powers?' Guess they only work after invoking PayPal or moneybookers. Chops is willing to bet that they were in contact with Moore since before the June 5th show when they were first warned about her, and chose to believe her in the face of all evidence - including the publishers statement-, until Jeffrey discovered she has stolen from his work, too.

Classic schadenfreude.


We stand by our initial impression and opinion, that these two featherheads are full of baloney, and have about as much 'psychic power' between them as a chicken has dingleberries. Beware, vulnerable people.

Update: Apparently, following a disappearing act by Jeffery for a period of time, Amy and the Jefforcist are no longer riding the psychic wavelength in the Batmobile together. Amy has disappeared from StarClear's pages; hence the above links referencing her pages are now broken.

Beyond The Third Eye, Rochelle Moore: Plagiarism Examined

Chops has obtained a copy of Rochelle Moore's Beyond The Third Eye, which was pulled from the market by it's publisher, Andborough Publishing, for plagiarism on June 17th.

Chops has used its own third eye and examined page 17. Here is our side-by-side comparison of Moore's Beyond The Third Eye, page 17, and the original sources. The original sources are scanned books that can be found online and read in their entirety. Moore's book quotations are in grey, originals in blue. This is the entire text of Moore's page 17, reproduced here word for word.

Beyond The Third Eye, pg. 17:
is reserved to receive pagans and idolators, whilst the seventh, the most severe place of punishment within the lowest depths of the abyss, is called Hooviat, and reserved for the hypocritical professors of religion."

"..will receive pagans and idolators, while the seventh, the severest place of punishment in the lowest depths of the abyss, is named Hooviat, and reserved for the hypocritical professors of religion."

(Chops note: The paragraph that precedes the above starts on page 16 of Beyond The Third Eye, and is from the same source.)

.......................
Beyond The Third Eye, pg. 17:
The Hindus believe in a graduated scale of future punishments as well as rewards: "The less wicked being sunk into a lower position in the next birth (reincarnation), the more wicked being sent down to one or another of the innumerable Hells, to reappear on earth in mineral, animal and vegetable forms before they rise to the human form. The most wicked of all beings are doomed to experince the misery and woe and perdition until the time of all dissolution of all things."

They derived from the school of philosophy and denoted a higher and esoteric science which was designed to express the superiority of their doctrines to those of the pagans and Jewish.

"GNOSTICS (Gr. gnosis, knowledge) the general name applied to various classes of heretics, which arose at an early period of the Christian Church. The word from which their name is derived, had been previously used in schools of philosophy, to denote a higher and esoteric science, unknown to the vulgar.

As used by the Gnostics themselves, however, it was designed to express the superiority of their doctrines to those of the Pagans and Jews.."
.......................
Beyond The Third Eye, pg. 17:
The system of Gnosticism refers to to two fixed historical centers, Syria and Egypt. Hence, there was a marked difference between the Syrian and Alexandrian Gnosis, the former being characterized by a predominance of Dualism, the latter by a predominance of Pantheism.

It is impossible to even cursorily examine Gnosticism in the diversified aspect which it assumes, without being at almost every point, reminded of the old religious systems of Asia, Buddhism, Parsiam and Brahmanism.

(Chops note: this paragraph in Beyond The Third Eye continues to page 18, copying Gardners work for another entire paragraph.) 
............................

I find this literally astounding. With the exception of a changed or rearranged word or two, virtually the entire page is another authors work. There is no citation, credit, mention, quote marks, block quote, lead-in or anything to indicate that this was someone else's work.

In the back of Moore's book, there is a Resources section. Here are the first seven listings, exactly as shown in the book:

Books of Kells-History, Mythology and Symbols
Natural Science Museum of the Human Body
Zigmund Freud theories
Rhythms and Cycles of Life www.SmithsonianInstitute.com
The Faiths and Cultures of of The World circa 1870
The History of The Roman Empire
The Legend of King Arthur





If one looks up The Faiths and Cultures of of The World circa 1870, there is no such book, website or listing that would lead one to the original author or current publishers (even when I already knew the source), nor is there any way to know which material in the book is attributable to not just that 'Resource', but any of the others, either - at least 2/3rds of which are website listings - most of which are defunct or lead to open DNS pages.

This leads me to deepen my original suspicion that Moore basically sits at a computer grabbing whatever she wants from the internet, cobbling it together in often nonsensical ways, and then promoting it as her own work.

Here is the current publisher of (Rev.) James Gardners very old works:

Kessinger Publishing
PO Box 160
Kila, MT 59920
(406) 756-0167
email: books@kessingerpub.com

UPDATE: Rochelle Moore, through her Facebook alt 'Elvira Summerland,' has accused us of not posting her entire Resources list; the implication being that this authors works are indeed listed. A picture being worth a thousand words, I have included scans of page 17, and all three pages of her Resources. Seek, and you shall not find. Chops had given her the benefit of the doubt and assumed The Faiths and Cultures of of The World circa 1870, #5 in her Resources as posted above, was the reference for this work, inaccurate as that Resource is, it was close. Since she is implying that the actual reference is elsewhere in her Resources, I invite you to find it; I cannot.

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."

Jeffrey Seelman"


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.'
