Lan Lamphere (Hometown: Columbus, GA) moved to Norman Oklahoma May 1, 1997 after being brought up in Alabama but traveling the world as a freelance (Electronic News Gathering) ENG photog for various news media corporations including NASCAR, Fox News, NBC, ABC News and the Weather Channel. Lan was sent to Oklahoma by, now defunct, Windchaser Environmental Films ( A contractor for National Geographic & The Weather Channel pre MSNBC Control) ) of Gadsden Alabama to film a Documentary on Storm Chasers in cooperation with the National Severe Storm Laboratory (NSSL),Storms Prediction Center (SPC) and Oklahoma University .

Lan was especially equipped for the job due to his evolvement with high risk film projects (Hurricane Andrew, Hurricane Danny, Monsterrat Soufriere Hills Volcano) prior to1999 with several different news gathering agencies and production companies earning him the nickname Risky Business ( a CB handle used by Lan to this day).

Lan Lamphere: Freemason (AFFM Masonic Lodge No. 5**). Amateur Radio Operator. Member of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), active in Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES/RACES) for public safety and emergency communication in a time crisis or emergency. Licensed and issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) the callsign KC7RUN (General Class). Lan has been active in the field of storm spotting for over 19 years with various Emergency Operations Centers for various counties in Alabama and Oklahoma in service of the public at large during Hurricanes, Tornado, Floods and terrorist attack. A volunteer for the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army (SATERN) as a emergency communicator during May 3, 1999 tornados that devastated central Oklahoma, including Moore Oklahoma where he volunteered his time for over 24 (straight) hours as a Firefighter in the aftermath of the devastation performing Search & Rescue duties.

Lan found his way into public service after rescuing a young girl from drowning at a "Kindercare" in Columbus, GA ( Lan's hometown) in a swimming pool party at age of 8, and then again at Striplin's Swimming Pool on Warm Springs road in Columbus Georgia again at the age of 12. These two events lead him to become a certified Volunteer Firefighter (214 Hours ) and volunteering his time to the the Oak Grove Volunteer Fire Department near Sylacuaga, AL (where Lan grew up) at the age of 22. Later he served as a Volunteer Firefighter in the New London Volunteer Fire Department near Pell City, for almost two years where he advanced his education in civil duty as a certified (BREMS) First Responder/EMT basic.

Labeled a "Storm Chaser" by Art Bell in 1998 in two separate appearances on the Coast to Coast AM radio program, Lan has publicly stated that "I've always disapproved of amateur storm chasing due to the dangerous nature of the activity coupled with the overabundant recklessness of untrained, unqualified, uneducated participants. Most of these newcomers to my old profession don't even know how to hold a camera. I don't feel I should be compelled to advise someone to get themselves killed at the expense of a poorly taken photograph..." Something he has taken heat for since stating it in an appearance on Fox News in late 1999, and by a wide variety of storm chasing web site sources and persons inside the storm chasing arena.

Recent Events 2011-2012

A closely guarded secret until recently, Lan Lamphere left public broadcasting in February of 2011 due to being persistently stalked, and threatened by persons unknown, using anonymous aliases on the Internet, and over the telephone which drove Lan to make a decision to leave public life in fear for his families safety.

Lan's career in public radio broadcasting began with Chuck Van Vleck's Production of "The Edge" radio program on KOMA 1520 in Oklahoma City, OK (now KOKC 1520 ) in 2003-2004 in which Lan was employed by Van Vleck Communications and Mr. Chuck Van Vleck where he meet his wife Taira who worked for Mr. Van Vleck as a Producer for the program.

Taira and Lan have been happily married for a number of years.

After the Edge radio program was cancelled Lan went on to host the Overnight AM radio show on WLAC 1510 in Nashville TN, and several other radio stations nationwide, but money soon ran out and that program was cancelled as well but that didn't stop Lan. He continued on with a online radio program which reached more people online than could be measured in radio broadcasting nightly for four years.

During this time Lan produced audio, as well as full programs, for the likes of: Dwight Schultz "Howling Mad Radio", Lori Roth " The Lori Roth Show", Robert Scott Bell " The Robert Scott Bell Show", Bill & Nancy Birnes of UFO Magazine and UFO Hunters TV Program "History Channel", Fred VanLew and a host of other incredible talent, on the Patriot Brigade Talk Radio Network and the DCIX Internet Radio Network.

In February of 2011 Lan left public life and entered into the private sector, out of the public limelight, and as a non public figure, as a producer for three television series, Femme Locale, Oklahoma Expeditions and Sooner Legends, which met with varied success until he addressed the issue of the survivability of electromagnetic pulse weapon, or a CME event, in a email with his good friend Chuck Van Vleck. A topic that was frequently covered in all of Lan's radio programs. Soon after, Clearly Skewed Entertainment™ DBA ModerateRisk Productions™ took on the role of creating the Survival Mechanics television series as a educational program for public distribution in which viewers are instructed as to how to become, and stay, self reliant in a time of crisis be it an extreme weather event or a man made disaster.

Continued Stalking & Threats Made Against The Lamphere Family

Since February of 2011, after leaving public life, Lan has continually been harassed, threatened via terroristic anonymous phone calls threatening the life of his seven year old little girl by name, promising to mutilate, rape and murder his bride of two years, and burn his home down while his family sleeps. On February 2, 2012 Lan met wit the Federal Bureau of Investigation in regard to the anonymous threats, and anonymous online activity, and a report was made in which agents of the FBI has launched an investigation into the source of these events. A report was also made to the Norman, Oklahoma Police Department ( Case# 2012-00078 ) in regard to the terroristic activities of the perpetrators who continue to harass, liable and interfere in Lamphere's business activities (Business Disparagement).

Counsel for Lamphere is currently investigation the source, and investigating a multimillion dollar lawsuit against Google/Blogspot.com which refuse to remove copyrighted material from their web servers citing "freedom of speech on the Internet, as cause to reject legal request to stop the infringement of Lamphere's entitlement, and distribution rights, to his own copyrighted material and identity. Pursuit of legal action via subpoena for the IP address, whereabouts and identity of the person, or persons, responsible for these terroristic activities are currently underway, or being thoroughly investigated due to the use of proxy servers by the person, or persons, responsible for the threats made against Lamphere, prior to action being taken.

It is the Lamphere's mission to prosecute, to the fullest extent of the law, and with prejudice, those persons, or person, responsible for these heinous acts, liable remarks and detrimental acts be it friend or foe. No quarter will be given in retaliation to the threats to lan's family, and the personal attacks against the Lamphere family.

The Lamphere Lawsuit History - The Real Story

LAN LAMPHERE vs JACK SHULMAN; AMERICAN COMPUTER COMPANY

No. 10-6213 (D.C. No. 5:10-CV-00021-HE) (W.D. Okla.)
Appellate Case: 10-6213 Document: 01018642560 Date Filed: 05/18/2011
Appellant Jack A. Shulman’s petition for panel rehearing is DENIED.

There have been many questions posed to Lan over the years as to what Jack Shulman of the now defunct American Computer Company was so upset about that he sued Lan in a Cranford New Jersey Courtroom for $450,000 dollars and won, due to Lan's non-appearance or participation. By Lan's own admission, when he received notice of the lawsuit, it was so outlandish, so ridiculous, so completely disassociated from reality that he thought it a joke. He had never heard of Jack Shulman, or the American Computer Company. He didn't know what the whole affair was about. So, he didn't respond accordingly to the very real, very legitimate court claim of Jack Shulman. But, in the end, and the short answer is, Jack Shulman never had his story, or his facts, straight despite repeated attempts to correct Shulman's personal vitriol towards Lamphere which ultimately lead to Lamphere suffering at the hands of the general public, and the frivolous lawsuit brought by a man he knew nothing about, nor wanted to know anything about, prior to the lawsuit.

Lan Lamphere was never apart of, nor had any knowledge of, the nasty attacks on Jack Shulman on the Internet from 1999 to 2000 until after the lawsuit had been won in Cranford New Jersey. Lan had a computer but really didn't know how to use it. In fact, Lan was being taught how to use it by a close friend who worked at the Oklahoma Mesonet ( named removed ). It seems that when Lan appeared on the Art Bell program in regard to a video he filmed near Loco, OK, while shooting a documentary on Storm Chasers, of a unknown object shooting across the sky ( the object video remains a mystery to this day ) is when the problems with Shulman began. Lan, who has always used his own name on radio rather than hide behind a alias, was a victim of what we now call identify theft online. But back then the term was almost unheard of and even more difficult to prove, disprove or even explain to the authorities, including the first attorney Lan hired who ultimately dropped the ball all together in the case, then died.

In fact, the online attacks against Jack Shulman where more than likely Jack's own doing. Jack placed himself in the public eye, always on the defensive and exhibiting vitriol towards anyone who disagreed with him or called him out with a degree of logic, on radio programs like the Jeff Rense radio show and on web sites featuring information regarding the UFO conspiracy or strange events.

Showing up in full public view on the cover of the famous Bill and Nancy Birnes UFO Magazine publication (see right) , in which he made some rather outlandish claims about a military fax he received in his leased office space that lead him to supposedly reverse engineer a piece of what he stated was a section, or schematic cross section, of The fabled Roswell New Mexico Alien Craft (Captured UFO) debris (circa 1947), and then build the so called reserved technology into a Japanese computer clone PC system and sell it online at his ACCPC.com web site to consumers as the "Trans-Capacitor" probably didn't help matters for Jack. A fact that was reflected in every appeal made on the part of his counsel, and by Jack himself acting as his own counsel, repeatedly for 13 years. But, that didn't stop him from trying, and forcing, Lan Lamphere into Federal Bankruptcy due to exhausted funds to combat Shulman in court in 2007 which Lan won hands down, and with the blessings of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, against Shulman, in 2011. Our impression was that the Judges, all of them, thought that Jack Shulman was bat-shit crazy. If you ask Lan he wont comment on the subject but you can read it all over his face that he tends to agree.

After winning the appeals case brought by Shulman on three different occasions, finally ending in 2011, Lamphere is currently pursuing a lawsuit against Jack Shulman in Oklahoma with intent to migrate to New Jersey (upon winning) for damages received over a 13 year period, emotional distress, economic hardship and mental anguish due Shulman's pursuit of a unjust and frivolous lawsuit that he ultimately lost. In that lawsuit Lan Lamphere hopes to set the record straight for the very first time making all of Shulman's claims available to the court not only in the great state of Oklahoma, but also in New Jersey, hopefully ending this chapter in Lan's life of dealing with, hearing the name of and tolerating the childish, and in our unprofessional, humble opinion, the mentally unstable likes of Mr. Jack Shulman.

"It's amazing what a subpoena can do for your complexion..." ~ Lan Lamphere

Jack seems to think that he is the policeman of the Internet, perhaps the world, if you take into consideration his tag line on the graphic above. He seems to be seeking out and labeling anyone that disagrees with him, in anyway. Then again, what do we know? Maybe he is a certified, chess playing, genius. But one thing is for sure. He certainly believes that he has the right to protect the world with his reoccurring vitriol, libelous remarks and charges. And, of course, his ever present egotistical harassment of others which seems to be endless and eternal.

Shulman continues to disparage and liable Lan Lamphere on a his personal, privately registered, (Yes, we have the proof it's you.. Jack) website ( http://www.generalecommerce.com ) calling Lan a "A SPONSOR OF HATE" and publicly aligning Lan with the likes of Hitler and Stalin.

After almost 14 years Jack Shulman continues to stalk Lan Lamphere at every opportunity he gets.

The possibility of a lawsuit, and possible imprisonment, of Jack Shulman is quite good as Shulman not only names Lan Lamphere as a "SPONSOR OF HATE" on his web site, but he takes on the role of prosecutor for four other people that he has listed on his web site. Lan's ex-wife Melissa, Chuck Van Vleck, Jennifer ( a old employee of Van Vleck Communications) and Lan's current, and only, bride, Taira, using her previous last name.All of these people have been contacted and requested to pursue a lawsuit against Shulman as of January 5, 2012 in the state of Oklahoma.
