On inspection the references to  in the Jim Bell article are not footnoted  And they never have been since Skomorokh added them  years ago  The AP essay was begun about April  and eventually grew to include  parts  The first  parts were written in  and were published immediately as they were written  Part  was a copy of an article by a journalist Paul Maxwell writing in the Asahi Evening News English language newspaper in Japan   It and parts  and  were written about February   You can be sure that by July  the Feds were well aware of the content of the thengrowing AP essay The Feds subsequently concealed their early knowledge of the AP article  One technique they used when the applied for a warrant was for the affiant to claim something like I first became aware of the AP essay on   That specific affiant affidavit writer for you who dont know the law may very well have first become aware on some late date but that doesnt mean that other Feds werent aware months or well over a year before  It served the purposes of the Feds to make it appear not merely that the AP essay was written far closer to Bells May  arrest but also to conceal the fact of their agent WalshWilsons involvement perhaps one year prior to Bells first attendance of MCCLC meetings  Why   It sounds much more like an emergency if something happened yesterday or last week  They certainly wouldnt have wanted to have to tell the judge Well Bell wrote this TERRIBLE essaytwo years ago  This explains I believe why Skomorokh claimed the AP essay was written in  and furthermore gave no references  at least December  sounds reasonably close to early   April  on the other hand sounds like an eternity from May  the month Bell was arrested
