Dana Graham Phelps

Response to Libelous and Defamatory SEVEN DAYS ALT NEWSPAPER article Art or Exploitation which features the name Dana Graham Phelps

For over eleven years as of the point this statement is being written, the lies and misuse of journalistic power has impacted my life on a daily basis. Ken Picard, the author of the hit piece has gotten away with murderous misstatements that have seriously injured the rape survivors who valiantly worked with me on a serious film making and art project. Mostly women with children, these heroes have survived ultimate kinds of sick abuses which force re-experiencing of rape trauma again and again by the artificial introduction of perverse sexuality into the news coverage which was supposed to be a simple story about a local artist making a movie.

The intention of the film was to use survivor stories in their own words as a solo voice for the script and portrayal by an actor who would expose the true nature of rape, which generally has most of the worst and most harmful effects long after the initial physical sexual assault. There was an abstract oil painting to be made for each story and an original string quartet would accompany the actor portrayal. The survivors were offered a percentage of earnings from the film and the WRCC or Women's Rape Crisis Center which reformed to be Hope Works had been included. When their representative agreed to composite a story for inclusion in the project, it was agreed that a direct percentage of earnings would be allocated in exchange for that. The article relates this never took place but offered no evidence at all, simply claimed in contradiction to what I did. This is illegal in itself because any credible, legalistic journalist cannot, does not and will not openly defy the word of a subject for an article they compose because the burden of proof is on the journalist.

Fact checking requires that the person being quoted or stated to have done or said something must agree that they did in fact say it. No evidence was requested about the contract between the crisis center and me, no response was given by the journalist when it was requested that they correct their openly false statement. I never asked any rape survivor (or model up to that point in fact) to 'disrobe for me'. That is a patent lie, it is a completely made up statement by this clearly mentally ill fraudulent pervert Ken Picard. It's obvious that the man is intending to sensationalize and sexually assault me and all the survivors with the reader using an untrue, made up quotation. The rape victims who volunteered to be interviewed in my art studio knew before coming in that I was a nude and erotic artist. One of the survivors offered x rated modeling work prior to becoming a subject to be interviewed, which in fact led to no modeling work (which she wanted out of desperation to feed her children) so we concentrated just on the story of what had happened to her.

That story has been suppressed by Seven Days newspaper with the Hope Works/WRCC and the Burlington Police Department in Vermont, which nearly beat me to death and starved me of local groceries for over five years. One of the survivors sent nudes to me because she was proud of her body and she was impressed by my art work. Laura Laterneau did a brief photo shoot (non nude) with me. There was simply no problem between the survivors and I whatsoever before this murderously dishonest man perjured himself before God and everyone on my name! After the terrible and cataclysmic article became a reality, the survivors all indicated support and solidarity hoping I would sue for us all to get money! That became the impossible dream because only one attorney in the entire state of Vermont entertained the idea of going to court against it and that man needed a $50,000 retainer! Since then, I've moved and getting an out of state claim filed requires an attorney licensed in Vermont and actually the only two Federal attorneys are both unavailable. No law enforcement has done anything up to this point but mock my efforts for any kind of satisfaction. That includes a very lengthy struggle with the BPD in Vermont, which tossed me into a State Penitentiary for complaining on Facebook of their illegal starvation. That's right-- a Cruel and Unusual Punishment for a misdemeanor accusation which was dropped. At that point my cat was almost starved to death because they would not allow a phone call to save her life in my apartment, where no could feed or give her water. My neighbor received a letter from me in a prison cell which led to the manager of the property relieving my cat at the last moments of her life. It is unclear what happened to Foxinas because I had to give her up for adoption at that point to save her life.

My 200 word rebuttal statement indicating several crucial facts to help understand the reality of the situation *was removed* after being published in the first few weeks underneath the bad article. In that rebuttal, it was made clear: The WRCC rape crisis center had literally defrauded the project with hired artists, using rape survivors from their center and hired artists to generate art to go with the stories. The work wound up in the State House building with some official business which I know because police told me in my apartment as I recorded it on a mic (which they didn't know was on). In other words, the rape center imitated my project exactly and sold art in an official State capacity then used the article to get me 'out of the way'. In one of their several random unannounced visits to my door they demanded I stop making art completely. No more fine art because the cops don't like it. Also, the rape crisis center is 'more qualified' to do my own work than myself, therefore I need to stop making art permanently. These are the actual statements by these people representing the law in Burlington, VT. The rebuttal statement which was removed from the brutally fraudulent and sexually deviant article it made perfectly clear that there was never any statement of asking any rape victims to 'disrobe for me'. That statement by Ken Picard in my opinion is rape. He is raping the survivors, he is raping me, he is raping the victim's children and he is raping every single person who reads up to that point but expects the article to be held up by the same journalistic standards of everyone in the world who writes for newspapers.

This joke that Seven Days alternative newspaper has made of the healing required by all of us impossible to escape constant damage from. Rape Trauma Syndrome is a real affliction and it is one of the deadliest forms of PTSD which exist. To soil the healing process and expulsion of rape in the delicate manner that it was being tied to an art project is in my opinion a war crime. If this sounds extreme, try thinking of prisoners in Abu Graib. Is it legitimate to psychologically taunt them 24/7 with rapes which are described on a medical file to their jailer? "Genocide" according to International law is to 'inflict serious harm on a civilian population, especially with a political persuasion'. Rape is serious, harm from rape psychologically is not less than serious and a civilian population of hundreds of thousands have been injured in their minds from the criminal article. It cannot be underestimated how dangerous the misuse of mass media can be when it interlaces sexual warfare and passes itself off with some form of legitimacy. When the 200 word rebuttal was removed, it became clear that the newspaper had no intention of correcting any information but was working as a conspirator with the rape crisis center and the BPD which is heavily quoted in the article. Their motivation is to kill, to steal and to rape. They rape as many as they can with their words including children, including overseas. The brain connects to the genitals causing pain, not the other way around. Sexual programming devices to defraud readers of their sexual health is among the most dangerous forms of warfare.

In fact, the BPD restates the part of about requesting the disrobing of rape victims despite it being confessed to by Picard and the editor that it's not a true statement at all. The article sullies my name by trying to posit me and hold me up to obloquy as if I am a sex offender who is potentially dangerous with children as well as women. The cumulative damage on my name and art has been so gross that I consider it an act of sheer will to have survived. It's literally in my mind a war I am fighting with an insane dictatorial sort of regime like Stalin and Hitler. In fact, Goebbels would probably be quite proud of Ken Picard because of the bombing by words that has been so successful but also that there seems to be some sort of subliminal coded message in it if I'm right. After a few years, analyzing the article led me to conclude there is a layer in there which is codified by an encryption though it has yet to be confirmed by an expert. Use '13,41' as a basis to reveal a secret message. That was detected because of the mathematical alignment presented within the article itself and upon discovery of that, the 1341 coincides with the Federal Law Code for Fraud and Swindling. Using every 13th and 41st word wound up creating sentences which were coherent, non repetitive, grammatically correct and consistent with the ideas contained within the article. In fact, the interpretation I have of that is they are threatening those who expose or rebel against their rape trafficking ring which uses local government and businesses to sustain itself and it does appear to include underage victims, in my opinion.

I went on with pre-production for months and then began filming some of it but the BPD appeared to intimidate me when I started. They seemed to know the when and the where it would take place which is in Battery Park next to their HQ, intentionally plotted since I knew the BPD is a rape center first and projects an image of law enforcement secondarily. A strange cop parked on the sloping drive of the Burlington Court strangely upon the driveway which was for transporting wards of the state (prisoners) to court from prisons. That is an illegal parking job and the cop just stared at me and the actor as we went to shoot. It was very very strange and I had lived there a long time, there was never any cop parked in that driveway in the hundreds of times I passed it. Park Slope rapes began happening in NYC so I put two and two together that there was a hidden statement a la the subliminal type in the article that cops were forming an illegal union for their rape to continue using police powers. I was exposing that racket, and therefore needed to be stalked and intimidated. The modus operandi of the rapist in Park Slope focused on women with the exact outfit type that my model wore on that day with the same rough build and age. In order to prevent rapes by police at that point, I stopped the movie production which was called at the time "Figures".

The vision I had for the film was an artistic journey, extremely avant garde and visual to explore those hidden wells of childlike fascination with the imaginary world. In other words, freedom from any physical malady or psychological torment so that your soul is wandering in peace with love and happiness. A separation completely from the issue as if you were reborn to be yourself again. That was it, the film was to be a moving art piece that had original music.

Since this happened and I left to live in the West again starting over, I have become an award winning composer, songwriter, music video and movie director. At this time I am internationally competing with my first feature film. It bothers me intensely that my work and name are being misused to further some rapist ideology that drills me all day everyday for my blood to feed some vampiric rape colony in Vermont. It is utterly sickening. Even when people read the third correction at the bottom of their rapist article they are left with a misimpression that lasts their whole lives. The reader is entrapped to create feelings against me for something which has nothing to do with anything I ever did, not even slightly. Using a lie to blow up into more and more rapes psychologically is disgusting evidence of what they are capable of and what their original intention was.

Knowing how much damage has been caused and what the dangers are, the paper continues to publish this nasty disease spreading issue in order to commit homicide on me and anyone else in their way. Would you expect to survive such a hit piece on your name? Can you imagine for one moment what life is like with that on your record? It's like having a pervert put their warm finger in your pocket and scratch your genitals all day, even when you go to a job meeting.

The amount of work I've done since includes symphonic composition, string sextet, ballet music, many songs, music videos, a feature film, a 400 page dragon novel, much research into ancient history, huge amounts of fine art and scientific exploration. In fact, Seven Days newspaper censored my theory of everything on their Facebook then claimed my science as 'harassing and threatening'. The pedophile nature of Ken Picard and the staff at Seven Days newspaper is backed by the same acidic response, the same palpably violent and rapist mentality that so often accompanies the guilty of such offenses. Will it change and when? Will *we* change as a country and a population when the criminal content of this child pornographer goes away? What will be the cost of such a greedy manipulative rapist as Ken Picard who has been allowed to proliferate grotesque violations on competition?
