Re: Huffington Post ~ Melinda Ballard ~ Daniel Heimpel ` Mold

More | Report Post

It is such a small world, isn't it? The Huffington Post wrote a
beautiful tribute to Melinda Ballard's father, Claude Ballard Jr. in
February 2010.

Melinda Ballard has been a staunch advocate for those injured by mold,
etc, in water damaged buildings. Melinda Ballard agreed to an
interview with Daniel Heimpel of LA Weekly in the summer of 2008 about
another staunch advocate for those injured by mold, me.

Heimpel INTENTIONALLY misquoted Melinda Ballard for the article in the
2008 LA Weekly article to the benefit of the US Chamber of Commerce to
be able to continue to perpetrate an interstate fraud on the courts
over the mold issue (scientifically proven the poisons of mold do not
poision). This is the same fraud that Melinda fights against in the
name of public health. Heimpel's fraud of the matter was edited by
Jill Stewart of LAWeekly. Stewart has such a horrible reputation of
skewing journalism, that the LA Times wrote about her in 2009.

Melinda Ballard sent a message informing LAWeekly's then editor, Laurie
Ochoa, regarding Daniel Heimpel's and Jill Stewart's FRAUDULENT writing
for LAWeekly evidencing for them several statements of INTENTIONALLY
misquoting Melinda to aid and abet the US Chamber's fraud that is
adverse to the health and safety of the American public. See Melinda'
message to LA Weekly linked below:

And NOW Daniel Heimpel, clearly evidenced as a bonified shill for the
US Chamber of Commerce who has assisted them to be able to deny
causation of illness from environmental exposures, has morphed into a
social advocate for children, who is a blogger for the Huffington Post.

Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!

Thank God for people like Melinda Ballard in this world who will always
stand up and tell the truth!
