Josh Tickell To Be Subpoenaed at Mother's Defamation Trial

PRESS RELEASE:

The Gulf Oil Spill Remediation Conference (GOSRC) has announced today that it will subpoena the Director of The Big Fix, Josh Tickell, to testify at the Defamation of Character trial of his mother, Deborah Dupre.

Dupre, an internet writer for Examiner.com, has been widely known to use her internet platform to commit character assassination of numerous citizen advocates who volunteered their time and energy during the BP Gulf oil spill. Along with her sister, Delia LaBarre from NOLA, who founded an organization by the name of the Gulf Coast Barefoot Doctors (GCBD), Dupre has libeled and slandered many individuals who worked toward revealing the truth concerning the oil spill.

From the very beginning, the GCBD earned a reputation for luring in many healthcare professionals and then turning on them when those same health practitioners didn't agree with their unhygienic and unprofessional practices.  Co-founded by Deborah Dupre, the GCBD engaged in much dubious, unethical, and unprofessional conduct throughout the entire time that they claimed to run a health advocacy organization on the Gulf of Mexico coastline.  Some of the GCBD professional behavior  has been construed by many as practicing medicine without a license.  Many other ex-insiders observed extraordinarily unsafe and unhygienic standards in the dispensing of various health products.

However, the most egregious behavior exhibited by this group was committed by both sisters, Dupre and LaBarre, in their attempts to discredit anyone who disagreed with them, especially concerning the real causes of the BP Gulf oil spill.  Their primary MO was to assassinate the characters of anyone who crossed them.  Dupre would use her writing platform at Examiner.com to spread known falsehoods and misleading information about individuals they targeted. After publishing the articles at Examiner, they would then use their many social networks to create a highly negative defamation of character campaign to further ruin the so-called culprit's reputation.

Over the course of the many months that the GCBD did 'business' on the Gulf Coast, there are upwards of twenty individuals who have fallen prey to their predatory tactics.  Nurses, PhDs, doctors, and other healthcare professionals have filed their grievances in the public forum against these two board directors.  Many wonder how they were so successful at taking down truly effective activists and health advocates for so long.  At the end of the day, it has been recognized that an entire citizen's movement was effectively destroyed by these two sisters.

The irony of this whole situation is that Josh Tickell is both son to Deborah Dupre and nephew to Delia LaBarre.  Many have been asking why the mother and aunt of a serious documentary maker of critiques of oil and gas over-dependence would assume such a vicious posture toward those who only seek to bring light to the unprecedented Gulf of Mexico disaster.  Did they see the other documentaries as competition?  What was their intention behind undermining many of the leaders of the Gulf citizens movement? 

The GOSRC has been notified that Josh Tickell has been officially contacted about the criminal behavior of his mother.  He is also aware of the different civil lawsuits waiting in the wings to be filed against Deborah Dupre.  Many individuals, who have been intimately involved with the GOM advocacy groups, question why Tickell has not intervened.  Some have also seriously questioned why he would so prominently include his mother in the credits of his film in view of her extremely destructive behavior.       

It should be noted that Dupre herself continues to use her writing site to this very day, in the service of her personal agenda to bring down her perceived enemies.  

Many are now wondering if son Josh will take some appropriate action toward rectifying a longstanding situation which has done great harm to many good and hard-working people.

Did Ian R. Crane and Deborah Dupre conspire to destroy a Gulf citizen's movement?

By Maurice Ellsberg

    Why does Ian R Crane accuse others of being Controlled Opposition?

     Could it be because he himself is working for those who benefit from a citizen’s movement being thrown into complete disarray?

     Could it be because his over-riding personal interest is to make money on the various causes which he has embraced? 

     From all of his post and videos and Facebook comments it becomes quickly evident that Ian R. Crane is first and foremost a businessman.  Regardless of what he is hawking, his interest appears to be selling his wares first, 'advocating' his causes second.

     Now that’s perfectly okay, except when you literally take down a vibrant citizen’s movement, which he has been accused of doing regarding the BP Gulf Oil Spill.  And, only in order to sell his primary sales pitch about a Robert Kaluza, a BP exec who was on site before the Deepwater Horizon exploded and burned (*This particular matter is explained in more detail below).  

     Most of the environmental and health advocacy groups which came together in the wake of the BP oil spill have come under one attack or another.  The Gulf Oil Spill Remediation Conference was one of those.  This highly informal, international citizens’ initiative was cobbled together within a couple of weeks after the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon.  It was born out of deep concern for the future of the Gulf of Mexico (GOM).

     Enter one Ian R. Crane, an Englishman who wasn’t happy with the lack of attention he was receiving up there in the British Isles as he tried HARD to sell his videos and ideas concerning the BP oil spill.  Just who is this guy really working for?  Why did he secretly (and illegally) tape his first and only telephone conversation with the GOSRC?  Is this the conduct of a real enviro health advocate?
