Enough-----Enough------Enough
Long time member first time poster and maybe last time poster, so be kind.
Allow me to introduce myself to T/N I am Ralph Hurst; Scotts long time friend and Swift hunting partner. some of you may remember Scott mention me in some of his Posts.
Scott is unable at this time to answer all the “RUMORS” going around and I have had enough of people on here who don’t know, making statements as if they know the facts, so I’ll clear the air. That’s what partners have to do from time to time.
Curtis, for someone who doesn’t start rumors, you are doing a good job of rumors mongering.
FACT.
FBI = NO EXPLOSIVE CHARGES
ATF = NO EXPLOSIVE CHARGES
HOME LAND SECURTY = NO EXPLOSIVE CHARGES
NATIONAL FOREST SERVICE = NO EXPLOSIVE CHARGES
VIRGINIA STATE POLICE = NO EXPLOSIVE CHARGES
WISE COUNTY = CHARGES. POSSESSION OF EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL.
All the above is a matter of PUBLIC RECORD. Look it up.
P.s. THERE WAS NO CHARGES OF A HOME MADE “PIPE BOMB” INVOLVED IN ANY OF THE ABOVE INVESTIGATIONS!!!!
Curtis states the following:
"I am not one for rumours but I heard right form Swiftsearcher's neighbor that he used a pipe bomb to try to blow a larger hole in what he thought was the mine"
Curtis, You have never meet Scott so how would you even know where he lives or who his neighbors are.
Curtis states the following:
“That was s Federal violation an IED or improvised explosive device which using one gets you something like 5-10 years even if its not on Federal property (which he was)”
Curtis, HOW DO YOU KNOW OR THINK YOU KNOW WHERE HE WAS.
Curtis states the following:
“ The FBI had all kinds of stuff on him Thur his postings..even asked him how many times a day he prayed. “
Scott made his pray statement in an earlier post.
Curtis, again how do you know what the FBI knows?
Read the above. FBI = NO EXPLOSIVE CHARGES!!!!!!!!!!!
Curtis makes the follow statement:
“He made a big mistake in that he tried to implicate one of our other JS guys on this forum to get consideration ...he lied and said this young man had been involved and didn't know he had a relative in the police/sheriffs office”
Again Curtis, how do you know what he said to investigators
?
I know of the young man you are referring to, I personally check him out before Scott extended him and his girlfriend an invitation to go with him. Scott also knew he had a relative in law enforcement. Scott never tried to implicate anyone to get consideration.
Curtis makes the following statement:
“Kind of a very sad comment on Swiftsearcher and takes away a lot of his credibility.”
Look who is talking about “Credibility”.
Curtis makes the following statement:
"there.. I wish him well and would like to see him post exactly what happened but it maybe part of his deal with the feds not to post anymore-don't know why they would want that..unless its because of his pro Nazi comments."
Curtis, read the first of this post it says FEDS = NO EXPLOSIVE CHARGES
they don’t care!!!!! NO DEALS.
As for the Pro Nazi comments, I don’t recall him making such comments but trust me Scott is far and away from pro Nazi.
In summary: I have not always agreed with Scott on what he poster on T/N but I defend to the death his right to post it.
With Kind Regards.
Ralph Hurst aka SwiftsearcherII
GOOD LUCK! HH! 
He really does owe everyone on this forum an explanation considering: 1. The discovery of the amazingly hard to find "Jonathen Swift's Lost Silver Mines" due to his superior knowledge of boots on the ground work... 2. All of his past posts on T-Net "TOOTING HIS OWN HORN".. It's good to know that even the Great Ralph Hurst, whom weve heard so so much about, even disagrees with what was posted by the omnipotent Swiftsearcher.. 
I'm glad it's all Public Knowledge because I couldnt begin to imagine what it would be like on here if it wasnt.. Now I don't agree with everything Curtis has posted about all of this but I will defend his right to do so, even unto the death..
