Michael Crook
Introduction
There are many bloggers on the Internet. Many are usually unknowns and rarely get attention. Most blog about their hobbies, politics, news, weather, and life in general. Some blog to offend other people and are known as “trolls” or “provocateur”. Since the dawn of time, there have always been people who like to make light of tragedies. The Internet has made them more prominent. They get their jollies by making people mad, especially with really touchy and emotional issues. They are usually losers in life and do it to feel important about themselves. Most of them are usually marginalized by society and exhibit anti-social tendencies. The most notorious is Michael Crook. He likes to pick on young victims of accidents and crime and military personals. What drives Michael Crook to write vile things on the Internet and into a world of deviance and madness?
Michael Scott Crook
Michael Scott Crook was born on February 15, 1978 in Portland, Oregon and is the son of Bruce Allen Crook and Mavis N. Delaney. Crook goes by Michael Vogel-Delaney, which comes from his mother’s name. Young Michael’s parents divorced or separated and likely had an impact on him. Mavis Crook marries Craig Richard Eggenberger in 1982 and moved to Las Vegas, Nevada. Young Michael spent most of his childhood in Las Vegas being raised by his grandmother, whom he was close too.
Crook’s mother divorces from Eggenberger in 1991 and moves to Fountains Hill, Arizona, which they spend a year there. While in middle school in 1992, he had his first child, a boy. He most likely after he got a teenage girl pregnant. The son was given up for adoption. Not much is known about him. Afterward the Crooks brief stay, they move to Hammonton, New Jersey, where he attended high school. Sometimes in 1996, Michael Crook had sex with a unknown female and produces another illegitimate child, this time a girl. She would be his second child. Little is known about her too. Also that same year, he got married while in high school after he got another girl pregnant. Crook had another daughter who would later die. Than he graduated from Oakcrest High School in Mays Landing, New Jersey in 1997. Mays Landing is not too far from Atlantic City, which is the East Coast equivalent of Las Vegas. The year Michael graduated, his father, Bruce Crook, passed away. In addition, he divorced from his first wife, who was pregnant and gave birth again.
In the summer of 1999, Michael Crook marries Teresa Jean Allen. Michael Crook enlists into the US Army, but was discharged in 1999 for unspecified reasons. The military will neither confirm or deny that Michael Crook enlistment in the military. Whatever caused him to be discharged, this may have helped made Crook anti-military. We will probably never know. In addition, his marriage fell apart like his first marriage and Crook and Allen divorced in early 2000. As his marriage is falling apart, he turns to crime. His first run in was in 2000, when he was arrested for petty theft. Than in April of 2002, he is arrested again for disorderly conduct and public intoxication, which he will later rail against.
2 Unlimited
Michael Crook wonders what can he do with his life. Than he in late 2003, Crook meets Elizabeth A. Miller at a church event. Than in early 2004, they are married, which is rather unusual for someone to get married right after they met. Than in March of 2004, they find out they are going to have a daughter, who is born in November of that year.
Michael Crook first exposure was in 2002. He was president of the 2 Unlimited Internet fan club “Unlimited Too Fan Club”. 2 Unlimited is a Eurodance group that formed in 1991 in The Netherlands. 2 Unlimited was one of the most popular groups in Europe in the early 1990s. The Dutch group was not really popular in America, only peaking at number 38 in 1994.
A Racist or Racially Aware?
Crook was also a member of a racist forum called Stormfront, which is a rather large forum. He went by the name “Silentmike”. He denied being a racist, but only “racially aware”. He claims he is writing a book about how Jews fabricated the Holocaust. However, many Neo-Nazis and other racists have grown to despise Michael Crook. In many ways, Michael Crook created a lot of enemies among the White supremacist circles. He was later banned from Stormfront after trying to look for online relationships. Stormfront members are known to show hate towards people, usually the ones that are hated by everyone, like Fred Phelps and Lori Drew.
Paradoxically, Crook is sympathetic for Mumia Abu-Jamal, who was on death row for killing Philadelphia Police Officer, Daniel Faulkner. Crooks says that Abu-Jamal is abused and wrongfully accused person. Abu-Jamal was a cause and darling for the anti-death penalty crowd and radical left. Mumia is Black, which White supremacist despise. Than again, this stems from his anti-police sentiments he harbors, like he shows with the military.
Finder’s Fee For Lost Digital Camera
Michael Crook’s first brush with infamy was he found a digital camera that belonged to Army Specialist Elwood Wrigley after a NFL football game in January of 2005 in Philadelphia. Crook would give the digital camera after making Wrigley pay a $1,000 “finder’s” fee. It was later determined that Michael Crook was behind it and expressed no remorse. His reason was that you do things out of kindness and is a business world. For him, it is all about the money, possibly because he is deemed unemployable.
When word of it broke, it triggered a lot of outrage and support for Wrigley. At the same time, there was a lot of outrage directed at Michael Crook, which would be the first taste of backlash:
It makes me sick to know that people would do that to someone, especially with pictures that are so precious.
It’s such a shame that someone would do that to another person, let alone a person who is fighting to keep our freedom.
Wrigley only requested that he has his memory stick returned. One kind gentleman even offered him a new digital camera. Wrigley volunteered on his second tour of duty in Afghanistan. This would not be the last brush of infamy for Michael Crook. It was the start from an obscure to most hated figure.
Forsake The Troops
Michael Crook's Vile Website (Now defunct)
Michael Crook created a site called “Citizens Against the Troops” in January of 2005. He claimed that American soldiers were overpaid and overcompensated. Perhaps he created this site out of bitterness of being discharged from the military or was starved for attention. We will probably never know. His website had multiple domains which redirected to his website, including opposethetroops.com and theusasucks.info. Here are some quotes from his vile website:
All of the extra allowances must be eliminated. Soldiers should be made to pay all of their expenses (food, rent, uniforms, etc.) from base salary, just as it is in the real world. The soldiers should be made to pay 100% of the cost of medical insurance, and co-pays should be doubled from their current rate.
If a soldier chooses off-base housing (and is eligible) he/she should pay for it out of base salary. We, the taxpayers, should not pay their rent. Isn’t it enough our taxes pay for barracks? We’d be better off with pup tents.
U.S. Soldier= Poster child for retroactive abortion
All of the extra allowances must be eliminated. Soldiers should be made to pay all of their expenses (food, rent, uniforms, etc.) from base salary, just as it is in the real world. The soldiers should be made to pay 100% of the cost of medical insurance, and co-pays should be doubled from their current rate.
No soldier should get a tax break, as referenced to in IRS Topic 853– No amount of money earned overseas by a US soldier should be exempted from taxes.
Our underlying problem is this: the military is a lifestyle these morons chose. What idiot risks their life for a country? It’s what they chose. Hopefully, they knew in their hearts this is abusing taxpayers’ money, and they enlisted anyway. So…Forsake our Troops! Let ‘em die in combat– we don’t need their ilk in this country!
NINE MORE MARINES’ CAREERS BLOW UP IN THEIR FACES
Don’t military pukes learn anything? Nine more Marines bite the big one in combat. Stupid is as stupid does!
Number of US soldiers killed in the Iraq War, of their own doing, because they CHOSE to be leeches: 1,586. These scumbags asked for it, and got it. Simper Cry.
These quotes look almost similar to another repulsive person, Fred Phelps. He also said that anyone who served in the military are candidates for retroactive abortion. What we do know is that he appeared on FOX News Channel show, Hannity and Colmes in May of 2005. Crook was being interviewed about his website, “Foresake The Troops”. His website got many hate mail and death threats. After it aired, he became one of the most hated figures. He was ranked as the most hated person on the Internet for 2005 and 2006.
He became a target of hate mail and death threats. He was constantly bombarded with angry messages from all people regardless of politics and if they served in the military or not. Crook was instantly branded as the most hated person in America for his offensive anti-military website.
Interestingly, a lot of the contents at his infamous and defunct anti-soldier website are similar to what Fred Phelps and Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) spew out. One would wonder if they are colluding with each other. WBC started to protest soldier’s funerals in 2005, around the same time Crook setup his vile website. One could assume that Crook was inspired by WBC protests of soldier’s funerals and saw it as an opportunity. It is possible that they were colluding with each other. As of 2008, Crook continues his anti-military “crusade”. In fact, here is what he wrote in his blog.
This should be enough to make anyone sick. It’s not enough that our military gets a lavish lifestyle on our dim
This should be enough to make anyone sick. It’s not enough that our military gets a lavish lifestyle on our dime.
Now, we’re paying for fancy new bandages that are 80% stronger. My main concern here is how much is this costing taxpayers? I don’t give a rip about the soldiers who need them.
Look, just tie them up with Band-Aids and send them on their way. If they make it, fine. If not, then that’s what they signed up for, yes? Yes.
As his website was being a target extreme hatred. It was announced on May 17, 2005 that two soldiers attacked and killed Michael Crook on the street at night. Crook was dead in a dark alley. However, it turned out to be a hoax. However, he denied faking his own murder. He claimed that hackers broke into house and viciously attacked him. While he was being attacked, the hackers changed his website. However, there is no police report or any signs that he was ever attacked. It showed Crook’s other side, he is obsessed with victimhood, so he can get sympathy, which he did not get.
Cease and Desist
After Crook appeared on Hannity and Colmes, bloggers used a screen capture of him and posted it on various blogs. An overwhelming majority of bloggers were condemning Crook for his vile anti-soldier website. They put a face to a person behind the website. Also, they wanted to know more about Michael Crook and what his background is. Bloggers soon started receiving Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Letters from Michael Crook Internet Properties. It said that the images of Michael Crook should be taken down or face a lawsuit.
The DMCA letters were coming from Michael Crook. The copyright was not owned by Michael Crook, but News Corp. FOX News Channel is owned by News Corp. and is known to go after people who violate copyright. However, News Corp, never sent the DMCA complaint and when asked about it they laughed at it, especially at FOX News Channel. Apparently, Crook did not like his image being used on blogs to attack him for his vile website. He could not take the heat from the angry public. He also admitted to sending DMCA letters to people who used his photographs and material. Crook sent DMCA letters to various sites and people, ranging from BoingBoing, Laughing Squid, and even fellow Internet troll Jason Fortuny. In March of 2007, Crook withdraw his fake DMCA complaints.
One would wonder why Michael Crook sent many DMCA letters to bloggers. Perhaps he did not care for copyright, but was scared that his image could be used to do various doctoring, which happened at Fark. This article was taken down briefly after Crook sent a DMCA complaint late last year. The entry in question is no longer there at his blog and it involved a horrible car accident that killed multiple teens in Kentucky and he wrote a vile article about them. As of today, it is not there anymore.
Jeff Diehl received a DMCA letter from Michael Crook, would contact Electronic Freedom Frontier (EFF). EFF sued Michael Crook on the behalf bloggers who received the fake DMCA letter. It was in the Diehl v. Crook, which was on the behalf of Jeff Diehl on November 1, 2007. Crook referred to Diehl as “uber-queer”, which shows his homophobic side of him. In some ways, it emboldened Crook and made he even more offensive and defiant against his “enemies”. Crook claimed he would win the lawsuit, but he lost. His lost must of Crook feel very bad. Also, he wanted to be a lawyer, which requires a Bachelor’s degree and going to law school. Also, one has to take the bar exam and have good character. Since, Crook was involved in sending fake DMCA letters, that will likely reflect badly on him, especially in New Jersey. The lawsuit settlement required that he had to make a video apology for the online world and also take some copyright courses. Crook’s life spiraled downward even further. To make matters worse, Tucker Max, a well known Internet personality, started pilloring Crook, in which he went as far as calling him out. Also, he was literally dissecting what Michael Crook was all about and his past came back to haunt him.
Vile Christmas Card
Corporal Joshua Sparling in uniform.
If his vile anti-military website was bad enough, he sent a vile Christmas card to an injured soldier named Corporal Joshua Sparling, who was injured in Iraq. Sparling was being treated at Walter Reed Medical Center, which is where injured soldiers are treated. Christmas is a time for spending time with family and a time of joy. However, for Crook, it was a time to be a vicious person with no conscious. He wanted to show his true anti-soldier colors in real life. The Christmas card looked like a typical Christmas card, however the content was different:
Dear Soldier,
Have a great time in the war and have a great time dieing in the war.
From Miguel
PS. DIE
The origin of the vile Christmas card sent to Sparling was unknown at first. It looked like if a child sent it. Later on, Michael Crook confessed to sending that horrible Christmas card to Sparling.
Craig’s List Perverts
Jason Fortuny in 2006 created an ad at Craig’s List posing as a woman and got many men’s personal information. Crook at first admired Fortuny, but later referred to him as a coward and turned on him. This inspired Michael Crook to pull something what Fortuny did. He posed as an 18 year old woman named Melissa living in Las Vegas at Craig’s List. He did it as a “sting operation” to nail sexual perverts. There were many people who responded to the ad and some even sent pictures of their private parts.
Once he collected all the personal information, he created a website and posted all the information for everyone to see. He justified it because NBC’s Dateline was doing “To Catch A Predator” and they were going after people who had sex with underage people. Crook posed as an 18 year old woman who is a college student in Las Vegas, which is the legal age of consent. Eighteen is considered legally an adult. Hundreds of men replied and gave out their personal information and even e-mailed photos of their private parts. He setup a website and posted all their personal informations and their photographs they submitted. To maintain the site, he made people sign up and pay a fee to just view it, which is ironic because he violating copyright law.
Praises For Westboro Baptist Church
Westboro Baptist Church
Michael Crook is a homophobe and has been known to express hatred towards gays. Paradoxically, he says he is a homosexual, but that is debatable because he says things for attention. He has written multiple entries at his blog admiring and praising Westboro Baptist Church (WBC). It is led by Fred Phelps and made up of 70 members, mostly his extended family and several other families. It is the group that preaches that the acceptance of homosexuality is the root cause for all disasters and tragedies in America and the world. Their mantra is homosexuals are the root of all evil and God hates the world for it. They got their first attention for protesting Matthew Shepard’s funeral. They are also infamous for saying “God Hates Fags”, “Fags Doom Nations”, “God Hates America”, “Thank God for 9/11”, protesting soldier’s funerals, and young crime victims. They also refer to other Christian denominations as “fag” churches. They are billed as “America’s most hated family” and British documentarian Louis Theroux lived with them for weeks. He described as the most extreme people he has ever encountered. In fact here are what Crook said about this group at his blog, they are mostly accolades towards WBC and Fred Phelps:
Snyder is a sick man, and horrible for harassing Westboro and the Phelps family, I feel.
But as repulsive as some may find their views (I am not one of those who is offended by them), they have the right to free speech and peaceful assembly.
I’ve never had a problem with Westboro Baptist Church, whose members protest at funerals of soldiers. I consider them to be heroes.
I consider Westboro to be right-thinking and heroic, but this latest move just makes no sense.
I have always respected the Westboro Baptist Church.
but their goal is honorable.
Despite some disagreements, Crook admires WBC. However, there are barriers if Crook wants to join Westboro Baptist Church. Crook is pro-abortion, while Phelps is anti-abortion. In addition, Michael Crook divorced three times. Also, when he setup Craigslist Perverts and he expressed in support of adultery and think people have the right to do it. Fred Phelps is ardently anti-adultery and anti-divorce, which stemmed from his father marrying a divorcee, Olive Briggs, which triggered bad relationship between Fred and the elder Fred Phelps, his father. That can cause some serious conflicts between the two if Crook wanted to join the cult and both are very rigid people. Than again, there is another person who accepted WBC beliefs and is treated like a member by that cult, Bart McQueary.
Bart McQueary
Bart McQueary was a professional wrestler and pornographer. He got in trouble with the law for statutory rape in Kentucky, which would make him a fornificator. Phelps rails against fornification as much as he rails against homosexuality. He used to be an avowed Atheist and attacked Christians. By all standards, McQueary would not be accepted into WBC. Than sometimes in 2002, he converted to WBC “theology”. From there, he started to admire Fred Phelps and express hatred for homosexuals. McQueary even picketed with them and has a photo of him and Fred Phelps autographed by the leader. It is reported that McQueary is in contact with Westboro Baptist Church. McQueary’s background is not exactly someone that WBC would accept into their cult, but they apparently treat him like one of their own. It does raise a possibility that Crook could also be in some sort of contact with WBC. He has never mentioned of any contact with WBC, other than praising them. Perhaps, Crook does have contact with WBC, but chooses not to say it.
Both Michael Crook and Fred Phelps despise America and the military. Phelps said about soldiers that they were idiots that could not find a job. Phelps’s sermons and so-called protest often call for American soldiers to be killed because of America’s acceptance for homosexuality. Phelps does it on the guise of of a twisted pseudo-Christianity, which is a cult that revolves around him. He preaches that God hates the military and anything that is perceived as being homosexual. On the other hand, Crook does it because he is a failure in life and wants to lash out and see himself as superior over everyone else. Both like to pick on and denigrate young crime victims and crippled people. Fred Phelps goes as far as protesting their funerals.
Michael Crook and Fred Phelps express hatred towards Christians and Jews. Both expressed hatred towards Catholics and Mormons, even though Crook was raised a Mormon. Crook and Phelps also express hatred towards Jews. In fact, Fred Phelps recently targeted Jews, besides homosexuals, by picketing them. Michael Crook is also an avowed Holocaust denier. He thinks Jews manufactured the Holocaust to get sympathy, which is typical of Holocaust deniers. Phelps and WBC are inconsistent when it comes to the Holocaust. On the one hand, they praise it. On the other hand, they condemn it and call Adolf Hitler a “fag”. In addition, Crook is a 9/11 Truther because he complains about how America is too patriotic. Phelps is also known to complain about America being too patriotic.
Here is what Michael Crook and Fred Phelps share in common, hatred for:
Homosexuals
Christians
Jews
Soldiers
Police
Firefighters
Crippled People
Retarded People
Disabled People
Americans
Young People Who Die In Tragic Circumstances, mostly children and teenagers
Rape Victims
Drug Addicts
Overweight/Obese People
Blacks
Asians
Hispanics
Here is where Michael Crook and Fred Phelps diverge on:
Abortion
Adultery
Atheism
Divorce
Fornification
Megan Meier
Megan Meier
When Steve Pokin broke the news in mid-November of 2007 about Megan Meier’s suicide on October 16, 2006 and died the next day. It triggered a lot of outrage mostly towards Lori Drew for masterminding the cruel prank. It made her an international pariah and public opinion was overwhelmingly against the Drews and later on the Grills, namely Ashley Grills. Not surprisingly, Michael Crook came to defend Lori Drew, which was posted at various blogs:
It is important to remember that there are two sides to every story, and this is no different. Megan’s mother would do well to let it go, already.
For a different point of view, simply go here:

Michael Crook

Mays Landing, NJ
As usual, he was subjected to nasty attacks, like he received from his infamous anti-soldier website. Crook was sharing the same sentiment with Lori Drew, who was being pilloried. Drew told Christina “Tina” Meier, “To give it a rest”, which contributed to her downfall. His blog covered the Megan Meier Suicide Case. It was also reported that Michael Crook was happy and praising Lori Drew and company bullying a person to commit suicide. Of course, public opinion was vehemently against the Drews and company. They were branded as the most hated people in America and world along side with Osama bin Laden/September 11th Terrorists, OJ Simpson, and Fred Phelps. Crook went as far as calling the Drews crime victims because of all the death threats and hate mail they were receiving from all over th world. They were also subjected to vandalism and fake 911 calls, which happened before Pokin wrote about the case. Also, the Drews and Grills had taken on a bunker mentality and were besieged in their own home, which made them virtual prison. They were fearful that they could end up dead. This is not surprising coming from a person who is also one of the most hated and knows how it feels like and Drew had essentially crashed in a blaze of shame.
Young Victims
Michael Crook writes in his blogs insulting young victims of crime or accidents, especially when it involved alcohol consumption. Crook is also very anti-alcohol, possibly stemming from his dysfunctional family as a child where his stepfather was likely an alcoholic and had violent tempers. In one instance he wrote about a teenage girl named Lindsey Billman who fell through the skylights at the school. He wrote in this entry:
A so-called honor student fell through a school’s skylight, and splattered onto the gym floor. She died, after an apparent night of underage drinking.
Also, Crook writes about Faith Sinclair, who died in a hit-and-run driver in Sharon Hill in the early morning hours of August 3, 2008. He posted it at Philly.Com, which is cached by Google.
Bottom line is this, Faith wasn’t watching where she was going, so quit making her the victim..this one blogger has it right..
This is a case of stupid is as stupid does, unfortunately.
One would wonder why Michael Crook picks on young people who die. It is often assumed he does it for attention, but that is just part of the puzzle. Perhaps it stems from the fact that he had a horrible childhood and wants to lash out at the ones who died because they had a much better childhood and more stable family, unlike Crook.
He has also made this statement at his new blog:
It’s not a tragedy when they ask for it. Being hit by a drunk driver, being the victim in a motor vehicle collision…those are accidents. Joining the military, playing professional sports, and things like that are all in the same category: pretty much assuring injury, or in this case death.
Here are some other vile stuff he wrote:
Over the summer, I wrote about a dumb bitch from Pennsylvania. Her name was Faith Sinclair, and it looked as if the hit-and-run driver who made road pizza out of her was going to get away with it. This would be a good thing, for it was Sinclair who wasn’t watching her six.
The little princess obviously felt that the whole world should stop for her, because she wanted to get to a party. Well, hopefully the little trollop learned a lesson as she slammed into the pavement.
According to Crook, anyone who joins any activity and gets injured and dies deserves it.
End Of Trolling?
Michael Crook's idols, Fred Phelps and Lori Drew are in a world of pain.
Crook’s website went down and came up under a different address, only to be down again. Michael Crook was currently in some trouble of his own. It involved his temporary employer, Cooper-Levenson, an Atlantic City law firm. He complained that lawyers were consuming alcohol on the job and witnessed mistreatment of employees. Also, his blog no longer exists and fears he could get sued by the law firm he worked for. He goes on complaining that the law firm is out to remove his blog from the Internet. He is in the process of suing the law firm he worked for. In fact if one tried to access his blog, it says:
Michael Crook’s Official Website has moved. It may now be found at:
(Link Removed)
Recently, Crook decided to sue Cooper-Levenson law firm in retaliation, which has been dismissed. Also, his idols Fred Phelps and Lori Drew are in legal trouble of their own. Phelps and his cult had many legal setbacks and could face foreclosure soon, which could result in their demise. Drew was recently acquitted, but likely faces a civil lawsuit. She remains one of the most hated person and many have vitrolic opinions about her. Crook realizes his idols are in a world of pain and no one likes them and he is going to feel even more lonely. Than again, he has said, he does not want friends and is not employable and wears it as a badge of honor. Than again, he could be despondent over their legal woes besides his own.
However, as of today, he continues blogging what he thinks. He talks of changing his name from Michael Scott Crook to Adolf Hitler Auschwitz. In addition, he has praised cop killers and White police officers who kill non-Whites. This is despite the fact that he hates police officers as much as he hates the military, homosexuals, and America. Crook has shown a more racist streak to date. Lately, he has written vile blogs about Continental Connection Flight 3407 crash in Buffalo. He even went as far wanting to go there and perhaps even join the Westboro Baptist Church in their picketing of funerals.
Sometimes in July of 2009, Michael Crook took down his site for good or did he? Well, based on the note he left, he most likely did.
The blog and Web site at michael-crook.com was taken down by myself in July of 2009. The reasons were many, and voluntary.
In regards to those who claim that they were upset, offended, or angered by my blog articles, I would merely say that they are posturing, and to them I offer no apologies. Welcome to the real world. When I wrote about so-called “accidents” involving teenagers, I wrote about public news stories, and as such, it is not my problem if anyone’s feelings were hurt. The same applies to anyone or any situation that I wrote an article about. No one has a right to be upset or offended by anything I’ve written, and if they are, then it’s their problem, and not mine.
There are those who have tried to claim that my articles made them, or someone else, cry. Parents of teenagers who died, and about whom I wrote, tried to claim that they were angry, sad, or combination thereof. As a 2006 article in Details Magazine about me said, “tough titty.” Welcome to the real world. It was my pleasure to expose dumbass teenagers, drunkards, and other lowlifes. There’s absolutely nothing to apologize for, and I have no regrets.
While I have no regrets, it is time to move on to other projects, and other things. That, and that alone, is the reason for the end of my blog and Web site at michael-crook.com.
Michael Crook
July 12, 2009
Mays Landing, New Jersey, USA
As for why he took it down, there are various reasons for it. Perhaps, he was being subjected to hate mail and death threats non-stop. Or he just got tired of blogging vile stuff, which he alwasy did. Whatever his next venture is, it is probably going to be no good.
Recently, Crook put his blog back up online. In the forseeable future, he will shut down again and pop up somewhere else.

My Comments
Talk about a seriously confused person. Michael Crook hates the military, yet he enlisted only to be discharged. Crook claims he is gay, yet he hates gays. Than Crook says he hates Black people, yet he supports Mumia Abu-Jamalm who is Black. He hates police, yet he sympathized with the Bay Area Transit (BART) Police Johannes Mehserle who shot Oscar Grant. He is a man of contradictions and self-hate. He seriously does have an inferior complex. Sounds like a Fred Phelps wanna-be and tries to emulate him in every way. I first heard of this nutcase in 2005 when he created his vile anti-soldier site called Forsake The Troops. It triggered a nasty backlash against him that he was the most reviled person. Than I forgot about him until the Megan Meier case came along and he was supporting Lori Drew, who was sharing the title as America’s most hated person. I can see why he was sympathetic to Lori Drew because everyone hates her, like him.
It is interesting to note that there is a strong correlation between people who despise Fred Phelps, Michael Crook, Lori Drew, and Osama bin Laden, especially with Phelps and Crook. Phelps and Crook are anti-American like Bin Laden and the Taliban and anti-military mixed with anti-gay, anti-Jewish, and anti-Christian. I really despise Crook much as I despise Drew, Bin Laden, and Phelps and I put them in the “Loathsome Six”, which includes Bernard Madoff and Casey Anthony. They prove that humans need someone to hate, like in this case Crook, Drew, and Bin Laden. They are all cancers on humanity worthy of being eradicated from the face of the planet.
The Michael Crook entry is the most read to date on Diabolical Minds. In fact, there were many readers who came from a Brittanee Drexel Facebook group. Drexel went missing and Crook attacked her, like what he does to crime victims. I hope that Drexel is found alive and well. If you are wondering why this page was taken down for a time, it was because Michael Crook saw this page and made a DMCA complaint because of some passages I took. It was from mcomike.com, which went by mikeww.com and michaelcrook.org. As of right now, it is michael-crook.com and I expect it will change again. He is a drive by night blogger, his sites appear, disappear, and reappear under a different name. I feel proud that Crook saw this page and realize how pathetic of a loser he is. He got in trouble for pulling this crap back in 2005 and 2006 because his image and video from Hannity and Colmes appeared. News Corp. owns the image, not Michael Crook and while they are known to be litigious, they actually found it amusing he even did that. He can file a DMCA complaint only if HIS work is outright plagiarized. Who would in their right mind would do that to begin with? You got to be nuts to do that. Uh, Michael, you are just as guilty of violating DMCA because you set up Craig’s List Perverts site and you made people sign up and pay a fee to view the images of people you lured. Those images are theirs, not yours! You are violating copyright laws right there!
I would like to thank Eva Galperin of the EFF for helping me resolve this situation. EFF nailed Crook for sending fake DMCA. He should very careful because EFF does not look too kindly nutcases like him. I was told that Crook is really difficult to work with. Well, that is not surprising, coming from a crackpot. I would also like to give a special thank you to Jonathan from Plagiarism Today for giving me new information about Michael Crook. He actually interviewed Crook and has a lot of insight of him.
For one pro-Michael Crook site, which is run by him, there are hundreds of anti-Michael Crook site. They are mostly military themed websites and blogs. I wonder how Michael Crook feels being hated by almost everyone. Perhaps he wears it as a badge of honor, which he enjoys all the attention. Or he feels people are making his life a living Hell and went out of way to stage his own death by being murdered by a soldier, which was proven false. FAIL! He always tries to paint himself as a victim. He is in many ways a professional victim and is obsessed with victimhood. He gets his high of being a professional victim, which Larry Elder refers to them as “victocrats”.
My analysis on Michael Crook is that he is obsessed with attention because his family was dysfunctional and went through many divorces. Also, he has a lot of self-hate issues and cannot deal with it. Crook is a severely sexually repressed man that allows self hate to grow. He claims he is gay, yet he turns around and says he hates gays and admires Fred Phelps. Also, he is a fornificator and produced six children, which the first child was in middle school. Most likely he does it because he wants to prove that he is not homosexual. It is likely his parents had constant arguments and fights. Usually constant arguments among parents can be a sign and possibly lead to divorce. Divorces on a child can be really traumatic and is a vicious cycle. Crook divorced three times in his life, with the first one while in high school. As a result, he became with obsessed with drawing attention to his mother and stepfather to stop fighting. At the same time, he does not like being criticized and throws a fit when someone criticizes him. Of course, lot of people who come from dysfunctional families or have parents that divorce do fine in life and are not like Michael Crook. It leads to another possibility that he is narcissistic, anti-social, and paranoid. Those tend to develop in teenage to early adult years and it is a combination of biological and environmental. Most likely it developed in his early adult years. Here is my analysis on why I think he is a narcissist, anti-social, and paranoid. This is based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV (DSM-IV) diagnostic criteria.
He meets seven of the nine criteria for narcissism:
1.) Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements).
2.) Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.
3.) Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions).
4.) Requires excessive admiration.
5.) Has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable. treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations.
6.) Is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends.
7.) Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others.
8.) Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her.
9.) Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes.
All seven for anti-social disorder:
1.) Failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest.
2.) Deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure.
3.) Impulsivity or failure to plan ahead.
4.) Irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults.
5.) Reckless disregard for safety of self or others.
6.) Consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations.
7.) Lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another.
Meets five of the seven for paranoid personality disorder:
1.) Suspects, without sufficient basis, that others are exploiting, harming, or deceiving him or her.
2.) Is preoccupied with unjustified doubts about the loyalty or trustworthiness of friends or associates.
3.) Is reluctant to confide in others because of unwarranted fear that the information will be used maliciously against him or her.
4.) Reads benign remarks or events as threatening or demeaning.
5.) Persistently bears grudges, i.e., is unforgiving of insults, injuries, or slights.
6.) Perceives attacks on his or her character or reputation that are not apparent to others and is quick to react angrily or to counterattack.
7.) Has recurrent suspicions, without justification, regarding fidelity of spouse or sexual partner.
Michael Crook clearly has personality problems as shown by other evil and rotten people. Personality problems are different from mental illness. At least mental illness can be controlled and managed. On the other hand, personality problems, that is up to the person’s will to change and in this case, he will not change. What is very clear is that he is addicted to hate, like Fred Phelps. Both share the same hatred for homosexuals, Christians, soldiers, and young crime victims. Ironically, both had some connection to the military. Fred Phelps’s father got him into West Point, which he later declined and caused great friction in his family. Michael Crook enlisted into the Army only to be discharged and likely made him feel very bitter and resentful. In a nutshell, Michael Crook is a attention obsessed, paranoid, and a professional victim. He is a genuine psychopath.
Crook is clearly anti-social and is a sociopath. He does things that go against the social norms like attacking soldiers and crime victims. He is very irresponsible from work to family. His children were taken away by the state because he was a bad father and the house was sordid. He cannot hold a steady job and is often fired. Crook sued the law firm that he worked for, despite the fact that he worked for a temp agency and they were the ones who employ him, not the law firm. A sociopath often needs stimulation, which Crook shows by maintaining and writing multiple vile websites and blogs. Another reason Crook is a sociopath is he does not show any care for anyone, which is reflected in not taking care of his children.
Crook has a lot of issues of self hate and has an inferiority complex. Crook lashes out at people because he knows he is a failure at life and will always be one. He had three failed marriages and is going on his fourth one that will likely fail. Phelps might also be homosexual or bisexual because he has admitted to being gay in the past. It could be because he did not want to be a target of gays because he hates gays. Or, Crook is in deep denial about himself and cannot accept his sexual preference. He expresses hatred towards homosexuals and is known to support the Westboro Baptist Church and Fred Phelps. Crook is also considered by many to be unattractive and yes he is. Don’t take this I am knocking on ugly people. Even ugly people have some attractive qualities in them. Crook lacks any of that. I think Michael Crook is one of the ugliest person I have seen besides Lori Drew, Fred Phelps, Gertrude Baniszewski, and Osama bin Laden. Crook attacks people who are more attractive than himself. As mentioned, Crook attacks people who die in tragic circumstances. The people Crook attacks come from stable and well to do families. Crook comes from a dysfunctional family, which suggest that he is deeply bitter about his own background. It raises his self-esteem when he attacks young people who die in accidents and crime.
Crook is paranoid because he often harbors grudges. His hatred towards police comes from the fact that he was arrested twice when he lived in Dayton, Ohio. He was arrested for misdemeanors, not felonies. As for the his hatred towards the military, he was discharged for a medical reason. However, Crook likely faked a medical condition to get out of the military. Crook’s paranoia showed when he sent fake DMCA letters to bloggers and webmasters for putting his image on their website. Crook was paranoid that his image from Hannity and Colmes could be doctored, which already happened. This is despite the fact that Crook had the choice not to appear, but he chose to, to promote it. A major miscalculation on his part.
Crook lacks consistency and is a confused person. He really has no principles to stand on, other than bash crime victims and hate police and soldiers. Even though Crook hates police, he sympathized with BART police Johannes Mehserle shot and killed Oscar Grant in Oakland. Also, Crook hates Blacks, but he expressed support for Mumia Abu-Jamal, who killed Philadelphia cop Daniel Faulkner. As pointed out, Crook claims he is homosexual, yet he rails against homosexuals.
Characteristics of Michael Crook:

Superiority Complex

Paranoid
Michcael Crook is like a(n) abrasive or unprincipled psychopath.
Could Michael Crook be related to Fred Phelps and Lori Drew?
The same dirty gene pool that spawned Fred Phelps, spawned Michael Crook. You got to be evil to be a provocateur. Crook is a lot like Fred Phelps and even looks like a younger Fred Phelps. Sometimes, I wonder if Michael Crook is related Fred Phelps since they look alike and they act the same. It is possible that Michael Crook’s parents are wedlock children from Fred Phelps and multiple unknown women during a one night stand. It is possible that Crook’s parents are related to each other. Crook looks like an inbred. Inbreeding is bad and illegal. This is considering the fact that Phelps rails against adultery and equates divorce with adultery. In addition, Fred Phelps’s children have illegitimate children of their own. Most notably, Shirley Phelps-Roper, the so-called spokeswoman of the Westboro Bapatist Church. Michael Crook’s parents are probably born out of wedlock from woman who had affairs with Fred Phelps. I have also speculated that Lori Drew is also a blood relative of Fred Phelps, who seems to have many personality problems and deviant tendencies like Phelps. I have found two family tree for Lori Drew and there are some inconsistencies. One identifies both her parents and brother, while the other identifies only her mother. Deviance can run in family, like in the case of Gary Gilmore. Mikal Gilmore found that both his parents came from dysfunctional families. His family was really dysfunctional. Mikal came out fine, while his brother, Gary, turned out be a notorious murderer.
As pointed out, Crook has admired and praised Fred Phelps and his vile group. He and Phelps deserve each other and I am pretty sure Michael Crook has homoerotic fantasies about his beloved idol Fred Phelps. Hey Michael if you love WBC so much, why don’t you just go move to Topeka and live at their lame ass compound. They accepted Steve Drain’s family into their sorry excuse of a group that calls themselves church. Drain is not exactly WBC material. Also, WBC accepted and had colluded with Bart McQueary, who is not WBC material. McQueary is a fornicator and pornographer, the very thing Phelps despises. Fred Phelps is not either because he is very abusive to his children and wife and has a criminal rap sheet. Also, Phelps is likely a closeted homosexual and likely engages in one night stands. As a result, he lashes out.
It is no wonder why Crook admires Phelps and WBC because they are worthless like he is. Than again, Phelps is anti-abortion, while Crook is pro-abortion. Also, Crook divorced several times, which Phelps hates. That will cause conflicts between the two losers and he will feel rejected by his beloved hero and idol. Also, Crook is rumored and claims to be gay, which will not float to well with Phelps. This is despite the fact he expressed hatred towards gays and it is known that homophobes are sometimes closeted homosexuals. That leads to the point that Fred Phelps is a severely repressed person consumed with self-hate. Both of them are addicted to hate for different reasons. Phelps does it under the guise of religion, while Crook does it make himself feel better about his worthless self. Phelps and Crook are also despised by almost everyone, even by the fringe element. I would not be surprised if Crook is colluding with WBC in some ways, like McQueary has. McQueary is a de facto member of WBC, which would not surprise me if Crook is also like him. Many of what Crook says and acts are very similar to Phelps and WBC. It would not surprise me if Crook has a shrine to pay homage to his beloved idol, Fred Phelps, who is a big slimeball with his equally wacked out children and grandchildren who are subjected to abuse. He likely masterbates to an image of Fred Phelps.
Michael Crook also likes to side with criminals/psychopaths (Lori Drew, Mumia Abu-Jamal, WBC, etc.), like Fred Phelps. Phelps goes as far as saying “God Sent The Killer”. Both Crook and WBC take pride, dance, and have orgasmic feelings when people die in tragic circumstances. It is very obvious that there is something very wrong with Michael Crook’s head. As pointed out, he clearly has personality problems, most likely it developed in his teenage to early adult years.
Since Michael Crook says soldiers deserve retroactive abortion. He is proof why we need to bring back eugenics. He is the perfect reason for retroactive abortion. He is what I think is an accident and his mother should of aborted him. In fact, Michael Crook and his mother are estranged. Crook attacked people who lives in trailer parks, which his own mother lives in. How ironic of him to insult people who live in trailer park. It is pot calling kettle black. He is a freak of nature that should have been wiped out by natural selections a long time ago. The gene pool needs a massive cleaning with so we can rid them of evil and bad seeds like him.
Michael Crook is a pathetic, sad, and worthless excuse of a human being. He is not even human at all. Being human is not just a race, it is also a state of mind, which Crook lacks. Michael Crook should be banished from the human race. He is the biggest loser of all, the King of Losers. Well besides all the evil people humanity as seen. I have news for you, two of your beloved idols, Fred Phelps and Lori Drew are in a world of shit and you should realize your days are numbered too. How are you going to take it when WBC ceases to exist and likely Fred Phelps and company commit mass suicide, while Lori Drew could end up dead in an alley? It will be a very sad and lonely day for you. Michael Crook is going to Hell for sure. Time for you to get out of the gene pool.
