Lived life well? I guess if you consider harassing people and putting them through costly lawsuits where the case will most likely be tossed by the judge anyway then sure, he did live life well. That no selling waste of space.

Cameron Kingsley

Not to mention physically attacking a judge and dragging an innocent sailor (the late John R. Sheppard) through the mud by photoshopping his ugly mug on to Sheppard’s body and attempting to steal his photographs, attempting to sue a company because he failed to properly fuel his plane, attempting to skip out on paying child support, along with falsely claiming honors that he didn’t earn. Plus a whole slew of other crap that will take me too long to write. Screw this guy. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Except for the first few years he was licensed in CA, Bernasty couldn’t sue even if he caught an ambulance. He was never licensed in Oregon or any state other than CA where he lived. The Oregon state bar decided he was not “of good, moral character.” In fact, the CA state bar disbarred him in part for representing he was an Attorney at Law and filing lawsuits on behalf of others when he was not properly licensed or suspended.

…. and stealing clients’ money. “(A) He disobeyed a court order to pay child support. “(B) He was suspended for over a year in the State of California for failure to pay child support. “(C) He failed to inform the Board that he was suspended from the practice of law in the State of California and he lied to the Board about his suspension in California, stating that he was not suspended when he was in fact suspended. “(D) He loaned money to a client, Tamara Varner (‘Varner’), and collected on the loan from settlement proceeds from Varner’s lawsuit without Varner’s knowledge or agreement. “(E) He signed Varner’s name to a release without Varner’s knowledge and without advising the opposing party or counsel for the opposing party that he was signing the release on behalf of Varner.   On that same release he signed as a witness, attesting to the authenticity of Varner’s signature. “(F) He lied by omission to the Board when he told it that he did not notarize the Varner settlement document. “(G) He endorsed Varner’s name to the settlement check without Varner’s knowledge and without advising the bank that he was doing so. “(H) He retained all of the proceeds of the settlement without Varner’s knowledge or agreement. “(I) He failed to respond to a notice from the Committee on Arbitration of the Los Angeles County Bar Association that Varner was disputing his fee and that there would be an arbitration of the dispute.   He also failed to appear at the hearing. “(J) He failed to advise the Board of the fee dispute or the award in favor of Varner and against him in the amount of $10,000. “(K) He wrote a letter to Varner after entry of the award against him wherein he misrepresented the law and threatened to sue her if she did not agree to settle with him for $500. “(L) He destroyed all of his files for all of the cases he handled in California. “(M) A judgment was entered in California against him in the amount of $34,000 for malicious prosecution. “(N) He lied by omission to the Board when in his application for… Read more »

If I remember correctly, that was just from the Oregon State Bar’s refusal to admit him!

rgr1480

Yes.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Bernath was the prime suspect in the drugging, rape and production of child pornography involving a young girl and a crack whore.

Crack whore was arrested and prosecuted however could not identify Bernath. Young Girl was too drugged to identify Bernath.

AUSA in Long Beach, CA refused to arrest and attempt prosecution even though Bernath was positively identified by former wives … very specific moles!

Bernath’s deeds were known to me, others and Le for years … Positive ID of Bernath was made in England by his first wife. The first wife essentially said, yeah that is him and told much more.

I suspect, while Bernath was incarcerated and complete physical was conducted … he knew his day of reckoning was soon.

The following agencies worked the case:

DHS
HSI
ICE
NYPD
Scotland Yard
Interpol
FBI
Various Child Exploitation Tasks Forces in OR, CA and FL.

Holy Shit !!!!!!!

Cameron Kingsley

Can’t say I’m surprised. I wonder what other skeletons he has been hiding.

5th/77th FA

CK at least now we know for sure where his skeleton is hiding and he is no longer a threat to innocent children, dogs, and pine trees.

Fjardeson

As well as innocent light aircraft.

11B-Mailclerk

Are you saying,

(Puts on sunglasses)

he was light in the lofters?

(YeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhOver)

Combat Historian

The douche was even more deranged and degenerated than I suspected…

NHSparky

Shocked face.

No, really, considering the accusations he projected onto everyone else in that realm, is it really any surprise?

I know in his debacle of a lawsuit he accused at least a half dozen people (including me) of such. Why he was never held to account for those statements, I’ll never know.

OWB

The porn he accused others of doing and “documented” meant that he accessed a lot of porn. Sane, normal folks wouldn’t even know where to start looking for the sort of vile things he posted. Yuck.

We can only hope and pray that he is the worst we will encounter. And that he is the worst of those valor thieves we have long suspected of also being pedos.

Many LE’s across the country have observed the same thing we have – a disproportionately high number of valor thieves have inappropriate/illegal aspirations with children. Guess it makes some sort of perverted sense when you realize that their claims give them access to children in schools, hospital, parades and such.

xyzzy

He has since been called to account by the Divine Judge of the Universe, and given his proper Judgement.

11B-Mailclerk

Antics in -that- court do not delay or mitigate the outcome.

Something told me that the life of Daniel Bernath was darker than just Stolen Valor… the Oregon Supreme Court ruling on his application to practice law was just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

I wonder how his DRG “brothers” feel about this now?

MCPO NYC USN Ret. – have his children and last wife been told of his involvement in this crime?

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

No!

A Proud Infidel®™

Wow, so he was Projecting a lot more than I ever thought!

rgr769

Well, with all that going on in his life, maybe it was a case of “self-murder” rather than incompetent piloting.

Wow. Catching up after a few days of being out.

We’ve been having a large time in your absence. You may want to spend the next little while playing catch-up.

I along with others developed the information that led to evidence and we became cooperating and material witnesses.

The frenzy at TAH regarding Bernath concerned and alarmed LE so much it actually impacted their ability to bring case to close.

This is a cautionary tale for any of Bernath’s friends and associates …

OT but glad to see you out and about MCPO. Hope all goes well wih you and yours.

Mighty glad to read you are still around Master Chief. God speed Sir.

rgr1480

Hey Master Chief! Glad to finally hear from you — you had been saying “more to come” … and I waited and waited.

Is your above post an executive summary of a more complete report? Will there be more to come?

Many thanks!! Hope to buy you a Guiness some day.

It’s only 13:30 here in the Eastern timezone, too early for a celebratory drink (?) but after the duty day ITS ON!

Hack Stone

It’s a pity that Bernath didn’t drink a Red Bull before leaving the flight line, Hack Stone has it on good authority that that shit would give you wings.

The Stranger

Sorry for the accidental report!

Sexton Irish single malt it is. Good stuff for the price especially since it is a sherry cask whisky.

Roh-Dog

Ive had! Pretty good for an Irish… the chalky, wood finish is unique. Sweet, fruity without being floral or overpowering. It almost wants to be dark but it’s somehow light also.
I recommend.

The Stranger

Yep. I had a couple of drams last night. I enjoyed it. I’m curious to see if they’re holding any back to produce an older expression like a 6, 8, or 10 year old. This whisky would be a true delight with a couple more years in sherry casks; it’s surprisingly good for such a young whisky (4 years old).

David

I thought young meant “we took time to bottle it” and aged meant “we took the long way into town.” Live and learn…

A Proud Infidel®™

Good news for yours truly, they didn’t find anything in the colonoscopy today and this, I’ll have some Bulleit Bourbon on the rocks!

Good news. I’m partial to their Rye myself.

Nothing like vitamin w after that procedure! The prep is 12 hours of hell and then some.

First time I had a colonoscopy, I actually managed to make it home before “the release.”

I swear that fart lasted 2 minutes and left my ass cheeks windburned. Even the dog was looking at me like, “Damn, take that shit outside, at least!”

Graybeard

Psalm 37:7-15 –
“Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
Cease from anger and forsake wrath;
Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.
For evildoers will be cut off,
But those who wait for the LORD, they will inherit the land.
Yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more;
And you will look carefully for his place and he will not be there.
But the humble will inherit the land
And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.
The wicked plots against the righteous
And gnashes at him with his teeth.
The Lord laughs at him,
For He sees his day is coming.
The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow
To cast down the afflicted and the needy,
To slay those who are upright in conduct.
Their sword will enter their own heart,
And their bows will be broken.”

Daniel Bernath has found this out first-hand.

Some say that you’re not appreciated until you’re dead. In Bernath’s case I and many others appreciate that he IS dead.

Modern English or Shakespearean?

There once was a fool named Bernath
A lot of malevolence he hath
Many times he did sue
to which he did rue
because every time he lost
he flew like a bad rash
until he did crash
and at last he sues no more

Th’re once wast a blinking idiot nam’d b’rnath
a lot of malevolence that gent hath
many times that gent dis sue
to which that gent didst rue
because ev’ry timeth that gent hath lost
that gent did fly liketh a lacking valor rash
until that gent didst crasheth
and at lasteth that gent sues nay m’re

At 5:01 pm I am going to pour a double shot of single malt into my Old Man’s Club glass from RangerUp and drink a toast to the Human Lawn Dart and his inimitable flying skilz, cuz the latter finally put an end to his vexatious litigant antics.

See my comment above regarding a nice, inexpensive Irish single malt that I picked up. I’m sure the Master Chief will approve. Definitely going to have a wee dram. Unfortunately, I’m handling some business away from home so I don’t have my Glencairn or a nice tumbler. I’m making do with a $0.96 glass I picked up at Walmart yesterday.

5th/77th FA

I remember the good old days as a Road Warrior when even a mid range priced hotel/motel had those nice heavy duty glass tumblers in every room. King Rooms had 2 and double rooms had 4. And there was plenty of ice right down the hall. Guess they all have plastic or paper cups now.

5th/77th FA

Ice? In whisky? See, that’s why we can’t take you Redlegs anywhere!😂

He made an impression everywhere he went.

For example, the pallet of potting soil in the BiMart parking lot: https://pamplinmedia.com/component/content/article?id=71559

The pasture adjacent to Sisters Airport: https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2013/09/tigard_pilot_uninjured_in_plan.html

Of course the place where he left the best impression, the swampland next to the golf course in Bonita Springs: https://www.fox4now.com/news/local-news/victim-of-fatal-bonita-springs-plane-crash-identified

So I raise my glass in a toast and quote the words of Hawkeye Pierce – “Goodbye ferret face” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9B7ICnzjSt0

Any word on his lawsuit against Sisters Eagle Airport? Bernath claimed if they built the airport 200 yards to the east, he would have made it.

A Proud Infidel®™

Did he ever win even one lawsuit?
((((OVER))))

rgr769

To actually win a lawsuit one has to try a lawsuit, unless the opposing party gives up or the court grant a dispositive motion (like one for summary judgment). I seriously doubt ol’ Bernasty had the ability to conduct a civil trial, let alone win one.

A Proud Infidel®™

So I and I’m sure many others wonder if it was intentional, incompetent piloting or the result of halfassed Aircraft repairs that others told him he really needed to have a Professional do for him?

A Proud Infidel®™

The Stranger

Proud, embrace the power of “and”. Those pilot forums provide a lot of insight into his arrogance, ignorance, and dismissive attitude towards anyone who tried to steer him away from the course he was on. This turd was a waste of life.

A Proud Infidel®™

Yeah, I read a few of those where he got his ass handed to him AND they had a post or two on him, namely when he was seeking cohorts on his first airplane lawsuit.
He was indeed a waste of flesh and oxygen and ditto with the rest of The Dutch Rudder Gang.

He was not qualified to fly and he knew his future … any self absorbed sociopath would have flown that plane into the ground …. pity is no one got to gut him in prison.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

For all the onlookers … those of us who took him to task will at our will comment as appropriate. As we spent many resources…. unknown to most.

BERNATH WAS AN ABHORRENT HUMAN BEING.

The manner of his death was a cowardly act as he knew ….

A few guys figured him out!

May he rest in pieces.

My hat will always be off to you and everyone else who took him to task at what he had done to people.

HooYah!

And as Bernath said to ME, “you have to say ‘OVER’ after I speak” …

I will say this … “rot in hell Daniel A. Bernath a suspected child rapist and confirmed child pornographer … someone who got way with a life sentence that would have lasted only a few months”.

FUCK YOU …. I OWN YOUR DEATH!

What is the difference between Dan Bernath and a duck?

A duck knows how to fly…

Hack Stone

Q: How do you know that Daniel Bernath has been in your refrigerator?

A: The National Transportation Safety Board is removing a Flight Design airplane from your vegetable crisper.

Hack Stone

A Duck never had a restraining order from the Shipley’s served against it.

JTB

Did Don Shipley go to this guys house..???

Hack Stone

He sure did. And hilarity ensued. Bernath escaped the onslaught by peddling away on his bicycle. (He really did). Fortunately, Bernath was cool calm and collected enough to put on his bicycle helmet before pedaling away. Ironic that if he was wearing that helmet two years ago, he may have survived to file another frivolous lawsuit.

JTB

I thought so but got confused as some said he lived in California and I thought Don went to see him in Florida…

Aysel

He lived in California, then Oregon, then Florida. The time line can get a little confusing.

Hack Stone

He was just staying one step ahead of debt collectors and process servers.
