Did Joe Patterson send the email?

Most conspiracy theories are very easy to disprove. You start asking questions and it quickly becomes apparent that the evidence shows that the probability of the theory being true is shrinking. At some point you make a rational decision and, despite the fact that it "could" have happened (all things are POSSIBLE), you move on because the probability that it DID happen are so small.

The simplest question in this case for me was, "Did Joe Patterson send the email that's found in the Wikileaks archive?" I didn't know, so I asked him. His response surprised me. Here's our email thread:

Joe,

I don't know if other people are bothering you about this but if they're not, they probably will be soon. There's a new conspiracy theory out there regarding an email you sent John Podesta and George Pataki regarding a film script... saying it was all a front in a plot to kill Supreme Court Justice Scalia.

I like conspiracy theories, but I like chasing down proof to disprove them even more, so I thought I'd shoot you an email and give you a chance to go on the record and let the world know that you did indeed write a movie script (which I see you did from your Facebook profile), and explain why you sent it to Podesta. If you respond I'll set up a blog and publish my findings. If not, no worries.

Anyhow, hope you're not being hounded into oblivion...

That was a bit of a surprise... so I wrote him back again. I wanted to make sure I understood him correctly:

Well, that's not the response I expected.
You're saying you *didn't* send the following email?

A 2016 game changing, feature film project for your consideration.

From:viejojoe@outlook.com To: podesta@law.georgetown.edu  Date: 2015-11-17 03:40 Subject: A 2016 game changing, feature film project for your consideration.
   
Dear Professor Podesta, Hello from a D.A.R. documented descendant of Ohio Governor Robert Lucas,  chairman of the very first DNC Convention that was held in Baltimore.  He was appointed by the President to become the territorial governor of Iowa. I also sent this togpataki@chadbourne.com  Remember what happened when President Reagan said  "Tear Down This Wall?" to Mr. Gorbachev,   A gigantic economic expansion was ignited.   That's the goal of this film project.   I have the script, the budget and a producer for this 2016 political, game  changing film project - funding is needed.  You would be in charge of the content and selecting the producer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~jp   Presenting “INEZ COMES TO AMERICA”    The entire film is scored with a very up-beat Mariachi/Mexicana theme.   Below is the beginning of the final scene, but first, some set-up detail.   Most Americans (and for that matter, the entire rest of the world)  either don't remember or might not even  have heard about our war with Mexico and -  The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo which  forced Mexico to accept $15 million for all the land in this link.   http://www.smithsonianeducation.org/educators/lesson_plans/borders/map1a.html   It’s time to redress this old wrong!   Log Line: INEZ, a young Mexican girl, crosses the border  in search of work and her missing mother.  She finds political corruption, murder and cover-up.  ALEX, a young border guard/law student of mixed ethnic heritage  (American/Mexican) intercepts her, and listens to her story.   Trained in the art of body language, he can see that she is very  worried about her mother - they have not heard from her in  weeks and her bank transfers have stopped.   Alex points to the moon and tells her, “Keep the moon on  your right shoulder and you'll be ok.”  Some days later, he can't seem to shake the image of this brave  young woman and the danger she faces. He feels he could have,  should have, offered to help her.   He tries to find her but she has disappeared into the barrios  of Santa Ana.   When she is caught again - Alex is alerted and races down to stop  the bus before it gets to the Mexican border and - He sets her free again!   Alex is called on the carpet for his actions.   He mumbles in his defense, “She’s my fiancĂ©e.”   Alex is given 72 hours to find her and marry her or go to prison.   Frantically, Alex searches and finally makes contact with  MARIA, Inez’s new friend.   Result: a lively Mexican wedding celebration - where  some new drama is revealed.   Now - Alex and Inez begin the search for her missing mother.   The search leads them to an isolated ranch house with a massive  underground tunnel at Tecate, Ca. -  The HQ of ARMANDO, the drug lord and his partner -  U.S. CONGRESSMAN ROBERT LONGHORN.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~jp   If “Fahrenheit 911” could deliver $211 million on a budget  of $6M, this film would be in demand to be screened in all of North  and South American theaters and some pirated copies  could even find there way into Russia and China.   I believe this important film is deserving of the services of a major  producer, However, Ken Del Conte is an expert in producing low budget features.  He knows film people who will work for part of their compensation  based on a box office bonus.  Ken penciled out a budget of $1.5 million.   For a no obligation copy of the WGA registered script, please contact me.   Joe Patterson - Southern California.  viejojoe1@cox.net   https://www.facebook.com/viejojoe1/about?section=bio - for more about me.  and my five film projects.  two are political  one is spiritual  and two are just for fun   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~jp   This exciting action/drama takes place in Orange County, Ca. and the  Mexican border at San Diego.   Your input is welcome.   Below is the first part of the final scene. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~jp   INT./THE GRETA VAN SUSTEREN SHOW/FOX/NIGHT   Inez, and Alex are on with Greta.   GRETA  Alex, you now have your law degree and are running for Congress; correct?   ALEX  (grins))  Yes, congressman Longhorn's vacant seat.   GRETA  Tell me about your plan for Mexican statehood. I hope it's not like  the Russian's plan for the Ukraine.   ALEX  No, but that's another good reason to team up with our good neighbor to the  South. China has 1.2 Billion citizens and they are also looking to expand.   GRETA  Are you suggesting...   ALEX  (interrupts)  Remember the boy scout motto Greta and in our case it has to be the will  of the people in both countries, not the politicians and certainly not an  invasion.   GRETA  A referendum vote?   ALEX  (nods in the affirmative)  Yes, we will invite the Mexican people to merge with us;  to form one great Nation, thereby narrowing our Southern  border to the easily protected strip with Guatemala.   GRETA  But that would create a massive shift in our ethnic balance.   ALEX  Not at all, the people who are established with family, friends and  good jobs will most likely remain. The rest of the 11 million estimated total, would go back home,  because that's where most of the new jobs will be.   Inez joins in.   INEZ  This may be the answer to our budget and social security issues.  It would set off the largest influx of talented young immigrants  in One hundred years and ignite an explosive economic boom.   ~~~~~~~~~~more in the actual script..

You are the Joe Patterson that is linked to in the Facebook page referenced above, correct?
And the email addresses referenced are yours?
Thanks for your response... like I said, not what I expected. With your email address made public in the leak you might get bothered by others. Hope it doesn't get too crazy...
