Another source that you may have already seen, but this is a very illuminating article of these dude's life. He's been sneaking by forever. I know the type -- just smart and "hard" enough to barely stay out of jail over decades:

(excerpts) --- In 1977, Churchill and Dora-Lee Larson started living together in what divorce documents describe as a common-law marriage. That ended in 1984 when Larson filed for divorce and asked to have her address kept secret because of "past violence and threats" from Churchill. He did not respond then, nor last week, to questions about that case. She did not respond to messages seeking comment.

The division of property in that divorce shows many of the trappings of an aging '60s radical.

Churchill demanded that Larson return nearly 100 books, including Karl Marx's "Das Capital," a first edition of "The Little Red Book" by Mao Tse- tung and various anarchist tracts.

Last week's question-and- answer period on campus -- A student, referring to Churchill's characterization of World Trade Center workers as technocrats like Nazi Adolf Eichmann, stood to ask: "You speak against the technocrat corps. The students here, we're not training to be food-service workers or janitors. Are we also 'little Eichmanns'?"

Almost without hesitation, Churchill produced an answer both verbose and bellicose that summarized much of his writing and his approach to life.

"... Even if you don't agree with it, it is your expertise, your technical ability, your proficiency that is furthering the process of extermination of masses of children for your own personal gain and benefit," he said. "To fit into the structure without challenging it, you are in a metaphysical sense all Eichmann, Eichmann."

— This guy has a persecution complex ---– a real bad persecution complex!

In a letter to Standing Elk, [CU Boulder Chancellor James Corbridge] said the university had reviewed Churchill's claims to be an American Indian but could not make that an issue in his employment.

"The university has taken your concerns very seriously," wrote Corbridge. "However, given the fact that equal opportunity is the law of the land and that positions in the public sector are to be awarded to all persons regardless of race, color, religion, sex or national origin, and based only on their ability to do the job, the university does not believe that any attempt to remove Mr. Churchill because of his ethnicity or race would be appropriate.

"Even if Mr. Churchill is not an American Indian, as he claims, Title VII protects Caucasians as well as persons of color. Further, it has always been university policy that a person's race or ethnicity is self-proving."

I'm almost speechless. If someone swung an aluminum bat across the Corbridge's head, I don't think he would feel it.

LEah Kelley was lying in the road with a blood ETOH of .35. She wasn't running. The person who hit said she was lying.

Now read Churchhill's account of that night in question.

Very interesting.
