Love Kills: The Assassination of Kurt Cobain

Rate this book
"I will prevail in this debate," Hank insists, promising to deliver his not widely shared views on Cobain's death, a counterbalance to Linda's "maudlin diatribe," the identity of Linda's actual father, plus "dozens of pictures never before seen by anybody."

Short Review
Very fluid and lucid. As he says, more than enough detail is given for anyone to unravel and sess out exactly what happened from this with all his “who, why and how” and what each said when. It is dense and detailed beyond any other work on this matter and he’s a great writer, was the former manager of the Warlocks (early Grateful Dead) too. Richard Lee who broke a lot of this news first is a gem and so is the Investigator Tom Grant (hired by Courtney) who went awol on her, also the two Canadians and the Soaked in Bleach documentary in 2015, but there’s almost too much evidence in this book compared to all of them.

There are times, sequences, words and dates that all build up like a John Grisham Legal Novel - only this isn’t a novel, its a direct insiders testimony on one of the most important world changing events in our century: the murder of someone who was “splitting atoms” with what he was emitting (Bono) and was an “angel on earth” in person (P.J. Harvey), the “most dangerous revolutionary of his era” (Harrison, this author).


Long Review
(Summary of his main points, with other aspects obtained from the above listed, corroborating his data mine)

Upfront: Courtney Love’s Dad here is saying Kurt Cobain was definitely assassinated. His daughter conspired to commit murder with a few others and one in particular she hired.

It is uncontested someone flattened all 4 tires on his Volvo on the same weekend of his death, admitted by Courtney herself Kurt was planning on divorcing her that week and talking to his lawyer, admitted by Courtney she cancelled his last credit card he had to use after escaping a rehab in Marina Del Ray (with many witnesses, you can count about 14 mentioned in the 5hr youtube put together so well on all this, online, who all state he was completely sober all during his last weeks) four days before his death around 1am Sunday April 3rd, 1994. Then this credit card was being used after his body was found! This is all beyond fishy.

1. Main question to me though that Harrison, her dad, brings up: why was Hartshorne the Coroner, a musician friend of Courtney Love’s and of her ex (Moreland lead singer of Leaving Trains) - even years before playing on stage with them!! - actually allowed on to be the exact one who judges if it was suicide or murder?

He closed the case within four days and didn’t allow pictures to be seen *to anyone* (pics which later went missing until 15 year later) and 30 days later immediately signed off on Hole’s bassist Pfaff dying too declaring it a suicide…she was fleeing Courtney Love, per Pfaff’s friends and family and all packed up when hers happened.

And then this coroner dies from a strange bungie cord incident a few years later (look up the statistics on how many die from bungie cord, it’s actually quite low).

Harrison, Courtney’s dad, reveals here the sources (including himself) who heard Moreland directly say he wants to say something (about the Cobain incident that he knows) but he fears for his life because of Courtney’s connections (which we will get too, she’s almost more well connected than Epstein - who mentions her as an important source connection in his book, see the recent New Yorker article).

2. Why was Courtney calling to have electrical wires fixed specifically atop the Greenhouse (where the body was found by the electrician who wants to testify even to this day cause so many details were changed in the media as to what he saw), and calling this electrical company for such a strange job on the same afternoon she was supposably “busy recovering from asthma in a rehab. center far away in Beverly Hills” and detoxing (? - but she wasn’t she was in a hotel room making calls all that day witnesses and Tom Grant say - who, btw, says on April 3rd when he was hired Kurt was probably already dead and that Love’s parting words to him were not of concern but sarcastically and laughingly saying “go save our American Icon Tom!”).

Harrison begins all off in his book with this electrician being called, it was too weird for him.

There are PR spinners at the top and Harrison lists all their names and what they did and how much money Courtney spent (millions) to have who leak what stuff whenand cajole several people he says - Paladino the famous lawyer (shut down the Jennifer Flowers related cases years before) is revealed here by Harrison as attempting to shut down the Canadian duo exposing Cobain’s death to be a murder as just one example.

She spent mega bucks on him and he openly said so, but the PR people are the key, like Janet Bilig especially. Courtney really knows over 20 PR spinners, this is not fantasy but documented by Harrison.

3. Tom Grant the detective Courtney hired was not before, and does not seem now, like a publicity stunt bottomfeeder but an honest and adroit *Private* Investigator. Yet at his own expense and reputation he has spent years now detailing to everyone how Cobain was definitely assassinated. He said the Sheriff and detective Cameron (later fired for planting evidence on scenes by the Chief of Police in Seattle then who is now arguing recently the investigation into Cobain’s death being a murder needs to be reopened) refused to even do a half-way ordinary examination of so many really basic things other Coroners were shocked they had let stay unchecked, even rural ciry coroners - not that the Sheriff is in on it necessarily but that the facts are not made yet it was suicide.

The coroner friends with Courtney quickly cremated Cobain’s body and put him in a vat, a vase, then this coroner dies soon after under suspicious circumstances.

Same goes with the main detective assigned to this case besides Kirkland, another personal friend of Courtney’s Harrison mentions as one she would have bust people she didn’t like in the drug world per available testimony besides he, then this detective was soon after murdered.

3. Further corroboration of Harrison: Kurt Cobain’s Grandfather is interviewed on YouTube and he explains how his grandson was clearly murdered. By the way, look into Slim Moon’s work resume in LinkDN, he’s openly a gov. schill who ironically formed the label “Kill Rock Stars” and was part of the same incarceration machine that ran their intervention game by force on Kurt with DG illegally 4 days before Kurts murder (Cobain escaped the rehab - almost lost his child earlier too that year though because of Slim - way more than because of H.’s Vogue article), yeah jumped the wall of the rehab days before his murder. And this Slim did the same on Elliott Smith, had him locked up in Arizona psych ward against his will, and Elliott never talked to Slim again after that - listen to “True Love is a Rose” song about that period. This Slim was also bandmates with Cobain’s best friend who was in the house the day before the murder and they were making an album.

4. Everyone knows what happened with El Duce murdered on the train tracks (the next week after taking a lie detector and passing on “Love asking him to kill Cobain for 50K,” this almost caused the Seattle police to open the case again and they even announced they were about to) and no one contests that. Harrison interviewed him and says more about what he says.

I’m not saying Courtney was the only interest involved in doing this and neither does her Father. But does everyone know Hole’s Bassist the next week, as I mentioned, was suicided with participation of the same guy who gave the Heroin to Kurt? No they don’t. Things have been married and buried here. And Courtney’s Dad goes through a whole list of people who died under suspicious circumstances within a few months after the incident and who were in the house too right before the incident occured. A long list - almost all of them not “Junkies.”

He shows how Courtney knew Versace and some Madame Francie Marsun in San Fran who ran a brothel for the richest in Silicon Valley and made political markers to get favors through that medium. Courtney is a long-time very close friend of hers, her protege, per Harrison; and Courtney per Harrison was in a sex trist with DG and his wife Caroll, Cobain’s lawyer who wouldn’t change his will for him and forced him into the Exodus rehab also (instead) but started feeling guilty and testifying to Tom Grant the Investigator that Courtney and others were up to something surrounding Cobains death (until DG shut her up).

By the way, Harrison reveals who told Cobain that his wife had a hit out on him - causing him to jump the wall 1 hour later. It was El Duce’s friend Gibbie. Also look into Elizabeth Peyton at this time. And El Duce says who was asked after he turned Courtney down, Allen https://vblah.tripod.com/allenwrench....

5. Even further corroborstion of Harrison: Kurt’s mom has recently said to Silva (her daughter’s ex who is in a lawsuit cause he says Love tried to have Lutfi and others kidnap and murder him and almost did) not to mess with Courtney and those around her cause she probably did have something to do with Cobain’s death; Iggy Pop recently intimated about the same from what he knows too surrounding Cobain. Everyone knows Lutfi as the street thug drugging Britney Spears up and now with a restraining order who was there the first time the emt’s were allowed to strap her against her will to a guerney, taking away her rights and her children. “oh, sorry…” is all he has to say even today.

But why care about this book? This incident was over 30 years ago? Here is why I feel this book is extremely valuable and I recommend it:

Syd Barrett, Kurt Cobain and Elliott Smith are probably some of the most all-around cosmically and objectively beautiful souls of this generation that all should have used as their template on how to be here on earth for themselves in these times.

But instead the first was terribly martyred and co-opted into obscurity and the other two were murdered. Yet unlike what happened when Samuel Adams was simply being immorally thrown into debtors prison and all the world rightly arose against such types; no one does anything but just goes on with life as usual when all these are even murdered!

The millenials and post-millenials just move on without protest, leaving in the dust what we in Generation X (the latter two our exemplars) tried so hard spiritually to bring you in spirit and what you intuit is the holy grail and keyrgma for your own generation.

But you all just scuffle it all off with a poppish laugh and let the conjecture about them direct you into ignorance and forgetfullness again then complain all the time wondering why you are so depressed and want soo much to be happy, happy, happy. Emptiness.

Let some people like Harrison here come through and help us reconnect to something more real.

Gurdjieff said one of the main things people forget is that people are as different inside as a turnip is from an angel.

Everything is a question of quality and the quality of this generation was crucified then thrown out the back window and you all sit around and do nothing about it.

Instead you let those similar resonating qualities you have with these people get trampled under foot by eating the narrative hook line and sinker that disposes of such *our own* people’s resonances in us by saying: “If I have those qualities like them I will not be happy but a sad sac like them who drugs up and kills myself. So I better have pity for such quality in me rather than live it; I better look at what they tried as proven to be unhealthy psychologically. Let they be a lesson against those qualities in me I want to have.”

Such lower demiurgic manic day star god of this age buffer headed pap.

Well I won’t forget, cause I celebrate and carry on their qualities in me.

We need to unite behind this author and such works coming out and I highly recommend what he is bravely doing.

addendum:
Glen close said she was in a strange cult for awhile growing up. She must have been close to true evil yes to be able to portray the character she does in the series Damages so revealingly - a great study in this new cultural phenomena. Good for this actor, but study who she portrays, she did this huge labor for a reason. There are women like this in every industry now globally to see, to go general about all this and get some perspective here on it, I mean including - but not just limited to - this careerist pr gangsta I speak of here in the music industry. Reverse Engineerer DG her friend, who was the head of Warner Records then the ACLU and is besties with this specimen, is the cat’s paw of the sphinx and knows stuff he ain’t saying regarding “true false low” power too. Look to their friends and money and power.

This specimen in review here though - whom Billy Corgan said he quit hanging out with cause she in turn is actually close friends with top military heads in Seattle and she comes in, he said, as an agent provocateur to certain stars at times, including Elliott Smith whom she cornered and tried to force to date per what Elliott told my sister, and also works regularly with the pr agent who ostensibly was representing Ian Curtis of Joy Division that earlier had cut him off at the knees when he got to the states to try to further what he was doing - is just one hustler among many.

Also there is one in the field of “christian” psychology in the states in particular who ruined my family. Yet they are increasing incarnationally mechanically everywhere in number in every industry and country, let us be clear.

I came across a very ancient text one time in far BC times out of Egypt.

It said at end parts of human cycles particular (sekhmet - where we get the word scheme) women with feline like faces will incarnate more who seperate up and destroy all structure and male influence on earth eating humanity like a cancer. We are in Kali as Elliott carved on his arm in his last days, wake up and smell the rotting coffee.

Don’t worry you all, this is just a mechanical part to a psychic incarnational cycle though. It will pass. You see, true masculinity is sensitivity to the spiritual plane and then manifesting it, Like Cobain and all these others did. It’s not waving your gun and puffing your chest out like John Cena types (he is getting better at acting though these days, good for him). It is hard for the higher realm to come through and it is more masculine to sensitively reveal it than to shuffle people around like puppets. So all these new feline women are barking up the wrong tree looking to destroy one kind of M. they hate but accidentally coming to serve it deeper and be it and then accidentally destroying the organically good, cool, holy, actual, higher masculinity of a cosmic sort that is objectively - but very barely - still filtering to our earth in the process now.

This fiat maneuver is going on worldwide right now to make future man more mechanical and earthy in their final fall in Kali via Sekhmet and some other influences, it is just beginning to kick in downward slope quick in its valley beginning for the next several hundred thousands of years. A Sixth house of man will soon begin after this cycle to counteract all this but this is far too far for our generation here to be wishful about thinking they “are” or will accomplish becoming - but I veer off into Primordial Theosophy and Hinduism.

Anyways, Something in the Way, Courtney (whose maternal family roots are in the Oppenheim-Adler ex-Gottingen School individuals movement we all now know so much about, too much) is one of these types and she, per this Harrison (i.e. her father the author here), would just call Cobain “Mr Poupon” behind his back in disdain and disgust for what he was filtering down he said and said she was sleeping with the big muscular actor Dando in 94 just before this said incident occured. 100%. Just get the picture.

This author…good for him he is exposing this, even though this is his own daughter, such a difficult thing. So again here in this addendum I laud him in review.

“The Mama Cat came home, holding half a head…he said “I’ve slept with who I’ve liked, she ate me up for breakfast then put me in a vat” and now, I…don’t…know…what I am…so…(higher fire) tongue tied…I got myximiotosis.”

I would say this book overall gives good information; there are some things that you cannot really find anywhere else. However, the author’s style of writing drove me nuts. It was too much like conversation style, and not actually fit as book writing style. There were many grammatical errors, along with just the slang and style of writing, that made it just hard for me to stay focused on. With that being said, I don’t regret buying the book. It was good to hear perspective from Courtney’s own father.

I read this book because I had read another Nirvana book that referenced it and came out of it feeling very certain that Courtney Love had something to do with Kurt’s death. Being written by Love’s own father, I thought, if anyone knows what she’s capable of, it’s him. He provides a lot of food for thought and information that could probably be obtained by any good journalist or enthusiast. I was annoyed by his frequent repeated use of some phrases and his side tangents that seemed to be meant to boast about his own personal life and escapades (lots of bragging and name-dropping) and has nothing to do with the Kurt/Courtney story. He said “I repeat” literally over 20 times. There were lots of typos and missing words and paragraphs that seemed to have been copy/pasted more than once into other sections. I’m not entirely sure this book wasn’t just a way to get in on the action and make a buck off of his relative proximity to a rock star & cash in on having a celebrity daughter, but it confirmed and provided backup for what I already believed about what really happened to Kurt and if you also are of the mind that it wasn’t a suicide, this book will further solidify your suspicions.

This is a very long and meandering stream of thoughts, but it makes for a very interesting read. The author has published legitimate scholarly contributions over the years, and includes photos to support his connection to the topic. He also has significant music industry experience and knows that world pretty well, which all helps to give the book a certain credibility.

well

Well. That was something. It did hold my attention—but that family dynamic is just ick. Can you imagine—this dad writing about his daughter. Ugh.

Lástima que esté tan exageradamente desordenado. El autor menciona a mil personas que presupone que el lector ya sabe quién son, así que tienes que leer con google al lado. En muchas partes parece que esté intentando limpiar su nombre desesperadamente y es bastante repetitivo con sus argumentos. Por otro lado revela chismes muy jugosos sobre su hija aunque nada especialmente revelador con respecto a la muerte de Kurt Cobain.
