    I don't believe you. I do believe you make no positive contributions to society... Even your neighbors complain about you. You are hiding a huge amount of skeletons in your huge closet of bad behavior.

    What was that Holbrook said about how facts fit into the picture??? Twisted fantasy and innuendo are well and alive in Holbrook's inane postings.

    Holbrook is still not straight on the fact Texas has very good anti-SLAPP laws in place. Anyone can discuss Earthquest and his involvement in this taxpayer tragedy 'til the cows come home.

    Check out that hilarious Cease And Desist Holbrook sent to me before he was laughed out of court in Ohio. He and his buffoon of an attorney made total fools of themselves. And, that case they reference in that hideous threatening letter has nothing to do with folks that are commenting on matters of public concern. Holbrook and that sleazy attorney will do anything to scare people. Following is the link to that totally unrelated case.

    A scam site ran by a scammer hardly constitutes facts. Great fiction writing by you and lynch mob self proclaimed media idiots. None of these are real investigative journalists. You are pathetic! Go find yet another victim of your malice somewhere to make up stuff about. Your stuff is totally laughable to intelligent folks.

    Posting on discussion threads hardly constitutes stalking. What a putz! Public money being spent means the public, journalists and bloggers will be freely discussing it. What is Holbrook's problem with that? 
    Don Holbrook13 minutes ago

    You are no legal expert because yet again you are wrong.
    Who said anything about being a legal expert. I am friends with and blog with numerous attorneys. When you sued me the first time and were laughed out of court, we prepared to kick Holbrook to the curb in Texas as well. Suing me in the first place was a grave miscalculation on Holbrook's part. I have no intention of playing nice with someone who wasted my precious time and money with his totally abusive and dishonest filing.

    scammer


    /ˈskæmə/

    noun
    1. (slang) a person who perpetrates a scam; swindler.....
    scam

    tr.v. scammed, scam·ming, scams To defraud; swindle.


    This site has never generated any income whatsoever and my blogging has not netted me a penny either. Holbrook thinks I am the scammer???

    Proving me with excellent settlements for their poor reporting and misleading people into inappropriate opinions that cost them dearly. Oh you forgot to mention that NOT EVEN on allegation has ever been validated or substantiated, which is why they all had to settle and pay me damaged. A pretty critical oversight. 
    soapboxmom136 seconds ago

    Document these ridiculous claims.

    Red Wing says:
    http://www.realscam.com/f11/don-alle...html#post29319

    "Holbrook was fired in 1998 for resume fraud. He did his best at his termination hearing to explain why he did not have the degrees, trying to deflect the blame onto internal problems at La Salle University in Louisiana. But it remains he did not have the degrees at the time of hire...It's an economic decision...The misrepresentation of his educational background was ammunition enough to dismiss Holbrook. But his education credentials represented only the tip of a pile of shenanigans promulgated by Holbrook. A blurring of the line between Port Authority business and personal business, badgering of clients, acting as a self-promoter who put personal priorities above community interests - all these allegations dogged Holbrook and have resurfaced in light of the proposed lawsuit settlement.

    Holbrook rendered himself ineffective by his own doing, and the Port Authority took the appropriate steps to get rid of him - period."

    So, they paid out Holbrook's termination and legal fees to be rid of him as cheaply and quickly as possible. If Red Wing had prevailed Holbrook would likely have proven to be a pauper and uncollectable.

    I am not aware of any other court cases where he was awarded damages or an "excellent settlement." And, as usual I am the only one providing written documentation. He is simply a litigious threatening goon. In his 2007 chapter 7 bankruptcy he wrote off 1.29 million in legal fees. Then the slug screwed another lawyer (one who worked on Earthquest) in his 2011 bankruptcy. I wonder if the nut that sued me got her fees paid by Holbrook? 
    More nails in the Earthquest coffin.

    I don't know Holbrook, nor do I care to,

    I do, however know his "type"

    The "type" who would sh** in his own nest and screw his own future, just so long as he thinks he is seen to be "right"

    Goodness knows what he is doing to his future by engaging in the sort of childish insult behaviour/s he's been exhibitingsince the trough was removed.

    All false and wrong that is the fantasy you are creating not based on reality.

    9:27 PM

    Holbrook, Mr Litigious, didn't sue that paper 14 years ago. Since their reporting was not challenged, we must take it at face value and assume that it is fact and opinion. I can't see how discussing facts from mainstream newspaper reports, court documents and more in any way constitutes fantasy. 
    One has to wonder if his wife is going to take him in to get evaluated judging from the fact he now thinks quoting mainstream media constitutes fantasy.

    Shut up you misleading fool. I sued the responsible party the paper printed their apology. I'm done defending against your fantasy lynching. Have an awful life and really seek mental illness help. I'm just glad your husband has such a nice job. I'm sure you'll File bankruptcy once I win my coming law suit against you.

      Don H. from Don Allen Holbrook, LLC replied to this review on January 29, 2015:
      This is not a client of mine. Their statement is completely false. I believe it is related to a cyber stalker woman named Heather Dobrott AKA Soapboxmom who has been maliciously stalking me, defaming my name and reputation and she has no valid information other than her own fairytale version of her own warped perspective. I apologize for my many fans and clients that have had to sort past her and her little minions of thugs that bully people online. I have never had any personal or professional dealings with her or her cronies, other than to send her a cease and desist order to warn her to stop lying about my background. Her only desire is to maliciously harm my livelihood. This person is more than likely related to Soapboxmom (Heather Dobrott)
    This review appears on Thumbtack and was posted after my own scathing review. I am not Jo. I did not write that. Court records are public. I posted and commented on Holbrook's 2 bankruptcies here. Jo is obviously very bright! Jo is one of a humongous number of taxpayers across the net that have commented on Holbrook's shenanigans. Kudos to Jo!

    Posting = Cyberstalking? Mainstream media coverage = fairytale???

    Quarter of a million spent and nothing to show for it | PV Times

    More mainstream news coverage of Holbrook's project's that went nowhere! So, he hasn't had anything come to fruition that I am aware of since 2006. At that point he had been fired as the economic developer in Red Wing in 1998, not renewed in Lake Havasu and then fired from his position in Wayne, Indiana. He sure didn't silence the Pahrump Valley Times with his frivolous lawsuit against them for their earlier reporting of his antics.

    re: Don Allen Holbrook IEDC Rogue Former Member / Jeff Finkle Orchestrates Cover-up

    Motivational & Keynote Event Speaker - Don Allen Holbrook, LLC - Las Vegas, NV

    Question and answer



    Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

    A. Site Location evaluation for new facilities, economic incentive negotiations and project feasibility in specific locales .
    A hand in every pie to be sure!
    Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

    A. Hire me I'm the recognized thought leader in this field of work and I get paid only when my clients are successful.
    I call BS on that one. He made 1.2 million off of the Earthquest mega-destination theme park. He was paid by the originator of the concept, the public entity, the developer, the defunct charity and more. The project only exists on paper. The taxpayers are out 3 million already spent plus 21 million in bonds that must be satisfied whether the project comes to fruition or not. Holbrook makes a fortune doing studies and more all for naught. What success? He hasn't had any project since 2006 come to fruition that I am aware of.
    Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

    A. All cities, states, provinces and local governments provide economic assistance to legitimate business opportunities. These economic incentives generally can amount to approximately 15% to 25% of the total project cost.

    The art of negotiating such deals is not something someone with no pedigree in this industry should try to undertake. The economic development field is a professional practitioner based society and thus very receptive to their own cadre in such negotiations . I am a former international board member, published author and highly recognized subject matter expert in this field of work.
    That is bull. Many public entities will offer incentives, but most are not willing to risk tax dollars for pipe dreams. They work with established companies with an established history of success knowing exactly what business will come in and the likelihood of it being successful and bringing jobs in.

    Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

    A. You need to be serious about your pursuit of the project and have the financial capacity to do all elements of deal due diligence not just pay my upfront feasibility fee. While most of my work is performance based it is not contingent upon your own ability to raise funds. My work enhances your financing to increase your ROI and reduce upfront financial risks. All projects have various other elements of due diligence that involve other professionals that will most likely require payment for their services upon completion of their own tasks, as do I.
    He got paid tens of thousands in Huber Heights, Ohio and then they sued him. Pahrump, Nevada paid tens of thousands of dollars for naught and the taxpayers in Texas are out millions for the non-existent theme park from hell. Previously he was fired from his economic developer jobs in Red Wing, Minnesota and Richmond, Indiana and not renewed in Lake Havasu. His career has been mired in controversy since 1996.

    Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

    A. Exceptional performance based consultant with proven results that matter to my clients.
    More like 19 years of economic disasters as noted above.

    Q. What do you like most about your job?

    A. The finalization of the project and watching a project come to fruition.
    What project has come to fruition in years and years???

    Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

    A. How are you compensated?

    1.) initial fee for project feasibility generally 1 day of work with recommendation of potential financial value and feasibility of gaining approval of business capitalization economic incentives. Fee is generally $1500-$2500 depending on the complexity of the project.

    2. Paid 5% of the economic incentive value upon approval by appropriate jurisdictional party. 50% upon acceptance and 50% at first funding escrow.

    3.) speaking fee for events is $3500 which includes travel to the event from Las Vegas and within the continental USA. International travel is paid by the client. Clients are responsible for lodging, meals and local transportation in all cases domestic and/or international.
    Why would anyone give him 5% of the money needed for a project. That is highway robbery and could amount to tens of thousands or even millions of dollars. He hasn't made squat in years as he declared chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2007 writing off almost 2 million in debt including 1.29 million in legal fees alone. Litigious goon??? He then declared bankruptcy again in 2011.
    Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?

    A. I negotiated a $520M incentive package for a client opening a new project in Texas commencing in 2014. One of the largest economic incentive packages in Texas and USA.
    That Earthquest mega-international destination theme park is completely dead in the water. No financing has been secured and the property has not been purchased. The public entity has taken that scam off of its agendas until such time as Holbrook and the new developer come in with checks and contracts in hand. Holbrook has lied about that project to other entities he has been trying to sell his nonsense to. He told Pahrump officials that the property was being purchased and that Earthquest would break ground by the first quarter of 2012. That was one of many dates that have come and gone.
    Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

    A. It is a closed society of highly educated professionals.
    Holbrook is off the the board for the International Economic Development Council and is no longer even a member of this professional organization.

    Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?

    A. Started at a young age after graduation on the public sector side negotiating and deciding on public economic Inventives for the local governments.
    Q. Tell us about a recent job you did that you are particularly proud of.

    A. EarthQuest Texas theme park and research center for new clean energy based sources that can be used in major commercial developments.
    This billion dollar nightmare is only on paper and has been exposed in scathing articles by the Houston Press, The Tribune and Channel 2 Investigates.
    Q. Do you do any sort of continuing education to stay up on the latest developments in your field?

    A. Certified Economic Developer and Master Business Consultant.
    Q. Describe your most recent project, what it involved, how much it cost, and how long it took.

    A. Earthquest is a $1B investment in Texas with total job impact of 20,000 from all tiers of economic impact.
    Earthquest is nothing but fancy drawings and a silly little model that used to sit at the EMCID offices. It has cost the taxpayers 3 million plus the 21 million in bonds that must be satisfied whether it is built or not. It has created no jobs. It has caused many businesses and families to face financial ruin as their hotels, RV park and other small businesses failed when the park did not come in as promised years ago. Earthquest started out as a great little interactive dinosaur museum. Don Holbrook blew it up into this colossal disaster it is today.
    Q. If you were advising someone who wanted to get into your profession, what would you suggest?

    A. It's very difficult unless you have done time and gained experience from both sides of the negotiating table.
    Q. What is your greatest strength?

    A. Dynamic and visionary deal structurer with a tenacity of getting greater economic value for my clients than they had thought possible. I generally exceed my clients performance expectations!
    The 19 years of firings and failures is documented above. What client could possibly be saying that Holbrook exceeded their expectations??? Holbrook is tenacious about threatening and attacking any person or publication that dares publish the truth about his shenanigans. That we can say for certain.
    Q. What are you currently working on improving?

    A. Marketing my services to more private sector business owners and executive management teams.
    I can't imagine any legitimate company, entity or business person touching this very verbose, litigious goon with a ten foot pole. His reputation has been ruined by his own antics. I am going to forward this to Thumbtack and demand they remove his fraudulent solicitation.

    When is he ever going to stop?

    His comments remind me of the scumbag scammers who come to realscam and say "This is my final post" but they keep coming back over and over. Funny how they're all the same . . . they just can't resist the temptation to lie and make fools of themselves.

    Well, I live in New Caney, I am outraged that, we the taxpayers of this community are paying for a project that does not seem to have any steam to get off the ground. I have been hearing about this project since 2006, here we are in 2015 and still nothing. I remember that beautiful billboard with this amazing park on display which announced the opening year, then it was changed, and now it's all faded, just like the project.
    I hope Don, Frank, Marlin, and well the rest of the EMCID members had a blast on our money! It appears two of them love to spend other people's money.

    Economic Life Coaching

    Many people have developed a money mindset that is simply a toxic formula for their continued failure to achieve the quality of life that they desire. They have unrealistic expectations that are not rooted in the foundation of their own abilities. Becoming successful, satisfied and happy is a mindset that only the participant can create, maintain and utilize. The skill or art of creating this type of mindset is much more simple than most might suspect. The most critical element is to know what your desired success actually is so that you can create a realistic roadmap to get there. Next you have to design the roadmap and then fly the mission. The cloud or fog of uncertainty is the most daunting of this process. Secondary to that is getting advice from someone that has experience in dealing with these type matters but is not biased on their recommendation… I call folks that are recommending based on their own sidebar or affinity monetary agreement (Singing for their Supper.) They are recommending products and services based on their desire for you to purchase them from them or someone they get a direct or indirect monetary reward for marketing their products or services to you for purchase.

    What does an Economic Life Coach do that makes it different and unique? I provide you with a full assessment in easy to understand written format as to what you need to address and why and how to do so. This includes an Economic SWOT (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis of your current situation. It also includes a basic primer executive summary on your stated problems and current methods or lack of methods for dealing with them and a recommendation for how to progress and move forward. This can include the following subjects for inclusion:
    Career Goals
    Debt Reduction
    Equity Creation in your Home
    Retirement Planning
    Catastrophic Life Event Coverage
    Asset Preservation Considerations
    Starting Your Own Business Considerations

    The basic service is as follows;
    A one hour and a half (90 minute) session face to face meeting or via the Phone if it is long distance (outside the Las Vegas market) with a full written follow up that will be sent to you once the SWOT and recommendation executive summary is created and available for your review. $375.00
    Follow-up Review to determine implementation strategies and modifications to current methods based on the participants level of comfort and willingness to proceed. This session can be face to face if in the Las Vegas marketplace or via the phone. Each session is scheduled for approximately thirty minutes (30). Each follow up session is $125.00

    All fees are paid prior to the service being given. Any requested services beyond this scope are billed at $250.00 per hour.
    What??? Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2007 writing off almost 2 million in debt including 1.29 million in legal fees. 2011 brought a chapter 11 bankruptcy where he screwed his creditors again and is paying only pennies on the dollar. Did I mention a decade of failed projects, fired from 2 economic developer positions and not renewed for a third before that. And, who would have anything to do with a litigious blowhard? He is in no way qualified to give any such advice and recommendations! Hang on to your pocketbooks and run!!!

    re: Don Allen Holbrook IEDC Rogue Former Member / Jeff Finkle Orchestrates Cover-up

    Been awhile, friends. One would have to assume Sir Talks-a-Lot has no friends much less business associates left. If he did, he, she, (or it) would recommend he immediately remove both hooves from the pie-hole just underneath his snout. Just how deep IS the mud in his pen out in the desert? Come ON, Windbag, if your not going to do it for yourself, at least do it for your son at the Academy. I would think the military would look at the ol' family gene pool in considering any promotion that would require someone of sound mind. Seems as though Lard Ass's is turning to mush. I can just hear junior's superiors saying something to the effect of " Look at all the driveling crap coming out of dude's dad's pie-hole, we'd better not promote him to anything beyond Lt. Dan rowing Bubba Gump's shrimpboat"

    Why do I type the things I do about Lard-Ass? Because the 9th Curcuit Court of Appeals said I can. Me, Buzz, Woody, and the gang (you'd have to go a long way back to reference my co-horts) are guaranteed the right to free speech while maintaining a check on corruption by individuals wasting tax dollars. Speaking of Woody, he heard one of the Raisin Guys (through the grapevine) Webster's is seriously considering putting the word dirtbag in their publication. No definition, just that picture of Sir Talks-a-Lot smoking a cigar which no doubt some unsuspecting taxpayer paid for. Either them or some dumb-ass who paid 25K for a timeshare they could have purchased through the time-share clearinghouse for $500.00.

    It also helped when Sir Talks-a-Lot posted the crap he did on the Underground, even going as far as suggesting me and Soapboxmom were having an affair. Well, I can assure ya'll this, if I were, at least I'd have the common decency to pay her charges at Victoria's Secret, or Frederick's of Hollywood, (or whoever it was that got **** on in his bankruptcy). Ah, why does it matter? In another couple a years, if he keeps going the way he is, Fat A$$'ll be shopping for Laurie's undies in the free-giveaway barrel at Goodwill.

    22. Consider review of procedure for hiring and reviewing professional consultants, and the taking of any actions required in connection therewith;
    Looks like the EMCID wants to be sure another Sir Talks-a-Lot doesn't empty the vault again!!!! And, when are they going to show McCrady the door???

    Building Your Wealth Foundation

    Posted on March 5, 2015 by economicdeveloper Standard
    part 1:
    You must recognize that in order to become financially wealthy you must have more cash than debts. Building debt is not a wealth strategy, especially if used for non-performing assets.
    Translation: Don't throw money at Contour Entertainment and Don Holbrook for pipe-dreams on paper. Their projects drain the taxpayers leaving them out tens of thousands or as much as millions upon millions. Contour and Holbrook don't come in with real projects that have investors or established companies behind them. They just keep dipping in the trough of taxpayers dollars selling fantasies. These projects on paper are definitely non-performing assets! God help the Texas taxpayers that must satisfy 21 million in bonds!

    Had Holbrook inserted an "a" and dropped the "ets" from the last sentence in his post, he would have described himself to a tee. The last sentence SHOULD have read - Building debt is not a wealth strategy, especially if used for a non-performing ass.

    Of course, this wouldn't describe whomever that was dancing on Frank McCrady's table, drunk off the sweat of EMC taxpayers.

    I am and will be continually amazed at the amount of stupidity that surrounds us on this planet.

    Here is the live link to the filth he is promoting on twitter:

    Hard Times, the show!

    This should get his knighthood revoked for eternity!
