I felt compelled to make this denial because of the latest recent accusation by Steven Bruce Orcutt aka Frank Runninghorse (aka Running Mouth, aka Running Dog aka Running Nalgas) that I was using the name Monty Kroopkin (it turns out, as you’ll read below, that Monty is a real person and that neither of us had ever heard of the other before). This follows years of periodic accusations by Kevin Akin, Tom Lacey and other weirdos in the PFP leadership that I am supposedly the other three people. However, unlike a lot of the people I have to deal with professionally, I’m not schizophrenic.
To put this all in context, check out the following Wikipedia definitions of psychological disorders and then read the below emails sequence to see if maybe they have any relevance or significance to the debate:
Grandiose delusions
Main article: Grandiose delusions
Grandiose delusions are distinct from grandiosity, in that the sufferer does not have insight into his loss of touch with reality. An individual is convinced he has special powers, talents, or abilities. Sometimes, the individual may actually believe they are a famous person or character (for example, Napoleon).
Grandiose delusions or delusions of grandeur are principally a subtype of delusional disorder but could possibly feature as a symptom of schizophrenia and manic episodes of bipolar disorder.[11] Grandiose delusions are characterized by fantastical beliefs that one is famous, omnipotent, or otherwise very powerful. The delusions are generally fantastic, often with a supernatural, science-fictional, or religious bent. In colloquial usage, one who overestimates one’s own abilities, talents, stature or situation is sometimes said to have ‘delusions of grandeur’. This is generally due to excessive pride, rather than any actual delusions.[citation needed]
Main article: Persecutory delusion
Persecutory delusions are the most common type of delusions and involve the theme of being followed, harassed, cheated, poisoned or drugged, conspired against, spied on, attacked, or obstructed in the pursuit of goals. Persecutory delusions are a condition in which the affected person believes - wrongly – they are being persecuted. Specifically, they have been defined as containing two central elements:[12][page needed]
The individual thinks that harm is occurring, or is going to occur.
The individual thinks that the persecutor has the intention to cause harm.
According to the DSM-IV-TR, persecutory delusions are the most common form of delusions in schizophrenia, where the person believes they are “being tormented, followed, tricked, spied on, or ridiculed.”[13] In the DSM-IV-TR, persecutory delusions are the main feature of the persecutory type of delusional disorder. When the focus is to remedy some injustice by legal action, they are sometimes called “querulous paranoia”.[14]

Brother Monty
I am not accusing you of being Jan Tucker . I now know more information about who the ‘Monty” is who signed the cc99% statement against me. How do I know ? I wrote in and asked direct questions about Monty from Monty. Imagine the radical nature of the idea.
This is not what Monty did. Before he ever had a conversation with me , he wrote a statement denouncing me .” Monty” who claims transparency didn’t use a last name . So I had to ask.
Jan Tucker often uses various alias in his “private eye” work and in carrying out his COINTELPRO type “poison pen” smear campaigns. He has been waging a active campaign against me for years . Some of “Montys” false allegations resembled Tuckers smears , so I was suspicious of another Tucker alias. A recent email was sent to me of contact between you and Jan Tucker .So maybe there was a connection after all. I like to ask direct Questions before I make accusations. So here goes. Monty are you and Tucker collaborating to smear me ?
By the way, the information that you provided about me being appointed to the PFPc5 [CCC Central Comm.] is common knowledge .No secret revelation there. All 9 other c5 members were officially appointed by Sheryl Borg as the only member we assigned to do the tedious official paperwork and run for office,so the others could focus on movement work. I was elected by the PFP-c5 to be first ,chair of the c5 then, co chair with Mary MacILroy.
Unless elected at ballot box , PFP SCC members must be voted in by standing SCC members ,which I was. Its a matter of record.
PFP members play a respected role in MDS . Nick H DVC SDS President is also on the PFPc5 & Dr Gee from NVC SDS & Northbay MDS is also in PFP Solano CC.
My point being, if you are a loyal PFP member as you say, why attack your own PFP comrades as well as MDS comrades. As the saying goes : “With friends like that, who needs enemys” . We are bringing SDS youth & MDS activists into PFP and you are trying to thwart our work. Why ?
Silly me I keep on asking questions .
Monty I again offer you my phone # [925]798-3698 and suggest you call me if you hear any thing about me from your ‘friends’ that disturb you enough to publicly attack me. Be decent enough to ask me my side of the story before you slander & smear a fellow High-school Vietnam Mobe organizer [YVHS had the largest HS chapter with 300 members ], lifelong PFP member and fellow executive officer [ I was North State Chair in the late 90’s], fellow Union activist & shop steward [ IBT/TDU ] and like you, one who has devoted and sacrificed much for the movement. We have much in common , if you had bothered to speak to me before slandering ,we might have been friends. We still don’t need to be enemies . Let it go . Beware Jan Tucker.

PS; this was sent to me as correspondence between you and Tucker. Is it Legit ? I ask before believing !

????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Dear Jan Tucker,
I received a copy of this, forwarded, forwarded. Please rest assured that you are not me (and vice versa).
For what it’s worth, in addition to being an actual, real, member of Movement for a Democratic Society (MDS), I have also been a life-long member of Peace and Freedom Party, with the exception of a few years when I registered Green. I served a term (1992-94) as State Corresponding Secretary of PFP. From organizing for the Vietnam War Moratoriums while still in high school to my current work as a shop steward in my union and an activist with a number of groups, I have devoted much of my life to the movement. I regret that we are “meeting” under such ridiculous circumstances, but hopefully at least knowing a bit about me will make the experience a little less ugly for you.
I do know that PFP county central committee elections (conducted during the state primary elections, by the registrar of voters in each county) do not always attract a full field of candidates. I understand that one Frank Runninghorse was appointed, not elected, to a seat on the Contra Costa County PFP Central Committee. County central committee seats double as state central committee seats. I hope you find this information useful.
Occupy Everything!
