Larry Sinclair – Grifter or Profiteer? – Part I

I have followed the “Larry Sinclair saga” from its inception on January 28,  2008. (The day Sinclair launched his You Tube video.)

I have logged hours of  documentation on Sinclair.  I have written several pieces exposing particular elements of Larry Sinclair’s constant deception.  They will be referenced in this article according to the topic at hand.

I am not the only “expert” on Sinclair and his exploits.  The Regulator  has an entire blog based Sinclair’s exploits. In fact I will be referencing them a lot, as well as , Channeling Nemamiah, and The Mitch & Nan Show.  There are other comprehensive sources that also have dedicated coverage of Larry Sinclair, exposing the man behind the proverbial “curtain”.

This “expose” will be in several parts.   This is part 1.

Sinclair and his followers were livid that the Main Stream Media ignored his story.  It was Sinclair’s promises of Main Stream Media attention, that prompted his supporters to give to him via his perpetual “Pay Pal” button which appeared on several blogs Sinclair had over the past two years.

Part I:

Larry Sinclair is running for Congress  in Florida’s 24th District.  How did he get to this point?  I will try to demonstrate the timeline of plans and schemes that have thusfar culminated with Sinclair still seeking attention by announcing his plans to run for congress.

 Larry Sinclair is also running from authorities in Colorado for an outstanding warrant  issued years ago.

Additionally,  Larry Sinclair claims he is a “freelance writer” (among other things) when inquiring about things that may be out of reach for the average person.

Here’s an example, he didn’t actually “claim” to be a freelance journalist  when he called Barack Obama’s fatally ill grandmother, Madelyn Dunham in Hawaii, to ask her some questions about Barack.  However, his tone and nuance was intended to give that impression when he spoke to the President’s sister that he was a “professional”, looking to interview a dying woman..  Listen.   

Larry Sinclair prides himself with that call and still has it listed on his You Tube Page.  This is only one small iota, (albeit in my mind a HUGE faux pas on Sinclair’s part), in which Sinclair makes an utter fool of himself.

The Beginning:

Larry Sinclair posted a You Tube video telling viewers that he had a homosexual affair with Barack Obama back in 1999. 

He quickly became an internet phenomena and curiosity.  There were at least two factions, the believers and the non-believers who battled each other to this day as to whether Larry was being truthful or whether he lied.

One of the main “hooks” that kept Larry supporters on his side in those early days was his various “schemes” to make the Mainstream Media pay attention to him.  This was also around the time that Barack Obama, Presidential candidate had started looking like a practical challenge for Hillary Clinton and John McCain.  Sinclair’s supporters would do anything for Larry, just as long as the result was MSM attention. 

At Larry’s peak of internet notoriety, he ultimately received well over tens of thousands of dollars from donations.  It all began with an offer to Larry Sinclair, an offer he could not refuse and in fact, negotiated to make the pot sweeter for him and at the same time convincing the owner of a website that the owner would in fact be saving money in the long run.

The  now defunct website called “Whitehouse.com” had offered Sinclair $100,000 to take a polygraph test if the results turned out to true.  Sinclair was even promised $10,000 just for showing up. Sinclair took Whitehouse.com up on their offer but had a better idea.  Sinclair wanted the $10,000 as promised, pass or fail.  However, he also wanted to give $10,000 to charity…pass or fail.  In the end, Sinclair negotiated a $30,000 “pass or fail” fee.  Could he possibly had known that he was going to fail, and thus negotiated an additional $20,000 with no strings attached?

Here is a public document explaining Sinclair’s “logic”:

 Have Rob call me I have a different figure in mind and part of that figure I would want split into

two separate certified or cashiers checks payable to two charities. It will still be a lot less than

you will lose when I pass this test. Add 10K to what you suggests and have 5k each payable

to the following

 1. Duluth Salvation Army Housing Loan Program

and 2. Girls and Boys Club of Duluth

 Let me know what you think?

 If you want to do this without doing the 100K yes, Because even the part coming to me is

going to pay my mothers back bills and medication so yes, if that is acceptable to you. You

still have all exclusive rights to video as you want, and I still agree that no other polygraphs

can be done for 4 weeks.

 If you want we can do this. We give you 20k either way instead of the way we have it and

maybe you give $2,000 or 10% to charity. If you do that way then you get rid of all these bribe

accusations. You will also look very good to the media and public as well. Thanks

(Emphasis are mine.)

So, there was Sinclair, re-negotiating the deal that Dan Parisi had originally set forth.   Sinclair would claim on many occasions that he was not in “this” for the money, yet from the beginning, it HAS been all about money.  Stay tuned…

Part II will what happened the night he took polygraph test and the devastating aftermath.

Part III – More on Polygraph Test

Part IV – Sinclair’s “proof”.

Part V -  Postscript
