For the most part Howie keeps me from poking the bear, but neither of us could resist this.  Howie wrote it as if it were from me, and I posted it to my Facebook page, expecting Joe will see it.

 

Usually I avoid commenting on the antics of Joe Schreibvogel aka Maldonado aka Passage. But tonight I just can’t help myself because this is just too absurd for words.

 

This evening Joe posted a video on Facebook of himself in a recording studio claiming he was going to record a song in memory of his deceased husband who apparently accidentally shot himself in the head. In my view, the only thing that drives Joe is getting attention. One way he has gotten it in recent years, in addition to running for President in 2016 and now for Governor of Oklahoma, is to claim he is a singer.

 

It is hard to imagine how anyone who hears his nasal speaking voice could believe that the voice on the songs is really his.  But the people he has duped into believing his nonsense seem to.  In actual fact, for years he has paid singer Vince Johnson to sing the songs.  Then Joe makes a video lip-syncing the song and claims it is himself singing.

 

Here is the video he posted tonight saying he is at a studio where he plans to record – listen to his speaking voice if his page lets you view it.  Please do not comment on his page - it just feeds his need for attention and gives him your Facebook name to harass.

Joe really wants me to record this song I wrote for him. I had a friend do a rough demo But he wants me and the band. To keep the charade going. And he’s willing to pay for it. I would much rather help you to get the slimy conniving creep, But a man has to eat

In a nutshell-money.  I’ve wrote a song about you I’m set to record it next week its not very flattering I’ll send it to you.  seems to me life's to short for petty vendettas but Joe hates you and I assume you feel the same.  I have nothing what so ever against you you may be a fine woman you for sure have beautiful eyes but a man has to make a living.

That's too bad.  You really do have an amazing talent.

 

I believe that we are all on a path to enlightenment and that we are just at different stages along that path.  I don't care what Joe says about me, or what he pays you to sing about me.  I won't hold it against you at all.

 

My only reason for being involved with him is because I believe that wild cats are too magnificent to be bred for life in cages.  I believe that breeding them, using their cubs as money making props, and then discarding or warehousing them is cruel.  I expose that cruelty where ever I find it and when I exposed what Joe was doing, under all of his aliases, he decided to take on the alias of Big Cat Rescue Entertainment.

 

I sued him for copyright and trademark infringement and got over a million dollar judgment against him.  I am now chasing him through bankruptcy court.  I had to protect our good name and he could have quit trying to confuse the public by using our name at any time, and saved us all the hassle, but he is too full of pride and hatred to behave any differently than he does.  I have learned to be more patient and forgiving throughout all of this and maybe he's learned some life lessons as well.

 

In the end I think we are all moving toward doing and being better.

 

I hope you find the big break you deserve.  Such a magnificent voice; it is just cruel (toward you) to have it attributed to such a person as he is at this point in his evolution.
