Some time ago someone asked if they knew anything about Dave McGowan and what he was doing. You remember that a man named Dave McGowan, his wife and his family were murdered. The writer Dave was not that person, and posted the following statement on several sites:<br><br>EMAIL FROM DAVID MCGOWAN - NOT THE DEAD ONE!! <br><br>Posted By: Rayelan <Send E-Mail><br>Date: Thursday, 12 May 2005, 11:45 p.m. <br><br>There was some thought that the man in Riverside, CA who allegedly killed his family and then himself, was the same one who has written a series of books. <br><br>Here is an email from the man who wrote the books: <br><br><br>Greetings from the Center for an Informed America <br>(<!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://davesweb.cnchost.com/).">davesweb.cnchost.com/).</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> Please forward this newsletter widely. If this was forwarded to you and you would like to receive future mailings, e-mail (mailto:dave@davesweb.cnchost.com) a request to be <br>added to this mailing list. <br><br>To all concerned, <br><br>I am happy to announce here that, despite news reports that would seem to indicate otherwise, neither I nor my family are currently dead. <br><br>As a good number of you already know, David McGowan, a 44-year-old Southern California man, was slaughtered in his home Monday night along with his wife, three kids and mother-in-law (initial news reports indicate that the case will be written off as a murder/suicide, but that scenario seems extremely unlikely). <br><br>Right name, right age (give or take a year), right number of family members, and right part of the country -- but wrong occupation and wrong socioeconomic class (why does no one in the media find it odd that a D.A.'s investigator and his retired firefighter wife lived in a $2,000,000 home?). So, while I sincerely appreciate the concern expressed by some of you, rest assured that I am alive and well. <br><br>While we're on this subject, however, I should probably take this opportunity to note that I am not now, nor have I ever been, suicidal (I am also not accident-prone, and I am, I might add, in very good health). So if anything should happen to me, please don't be shy about asking questions. I assure you that, unlike the Webb family (according to our buddy Mike Ruppert, anyway), my family will not be offended if the official explanation is questioned. And even if they are, ask questions anyway. <br><br>But for now, I am very much alive. In fact, I am doing quite well, having just returned from a fantastic, scenic, educational, and enlightening two week vacation in Belize with the wife. I could easily ramble on here for quite some time about my experiences and impressions <br>of Belize, but I will refrain from doing so in order to get this bulletin out in a timely manner and stem the flow of e-mail inquiries filtering into my mailbox. <br><br>By the way, does it really make sense to write to someone you suspect of being dead to ask them if they are, in fact, dead? In such an event, does a nonresponse qualify as an affirmative reply? Just checking ... <br><br>Lest there be any lingering doubts about my well-being, I will be taking to the airwaves with Meria Heller on May 25 (two weeks from today) for an interview that was scheduled several weeks ago. I assume that we will be discussing current events, which should be interesting since I haven't a clue what has happened in the world in the last two weeks or so. <br><br>In fact, last night's evening newscast was the very first news that I had heard, watched or read since April 28. And the lead story, curiously enough, was about the slaughter of my namesake and his family. Several of you have indicated that this story freaked you out. I think that I am on fairly safe ground here when I say that I am almost certain that it didn't freak you out nearly as much as it freaked me out. It's good to be back in the land where weirdness reigns supreme ... <br><br>I'm afraid that that is all I have for now. I have a little catching-up to do, but I will return soon with new posts, including the long overdue addenda to my 9-11 series. And don't forget to listen in to Meria's show <br>on May 25. <br><br>All the best, <br>the other David McGowan <br><br>---------<br><br>Has anyone heard from Dave McGowan, or seen any recent writings?<br><br><br><br><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
