  • Richert Wright
  • Rich Hart
  • Richard Graves -- Graves was a girlfriend's last name used without permission

Ministerial level is free! www.ulc.net) as he was ordained in 1981 and purchased his "Dr of Divinity" from them in 2000 (currently $29). Ask to see the certificate if he claims another institution.
  • Richard Lawrence -- This one is new for Orange County in CA. He is working on transplanting to there. He claims to be a musician and photographer.

* First three names plus simply the normal "Richard Werth" are associated with his Social Security number as per a credit check performed in 2000 by a private investigator. No actual legal name change documents are on record.

  • Richard Vensinbrock-Werth
  • Richard Vancuenebruck-Werth
  • Richard Vancuenebroock-Werth

  • Richard Vansinbroock-Werth

He claims at various times he has been for the last 30-40 years (among other things) a:

  • Buddhist Monk - ordained BY the Dalai Lama himself!
  • Photographer
  • Fine Art Photographer -- apparently unpublished in any real commercial work? -- told one victim he makes $2000/day but nobody can point to any of his work EVER taken for commercial or.... actually ANY use.
  • Videographer -- with consumer grade equipment
  • Drummer
  • Music Producer -- he has produced a very mall handful of recordings, most of which are in dispute with the artists
  • Musical Minister / Musical Ministry
  • Laser Art Producer
  • Laser Repair - Lazerium Lasers, Laser Repair USA, also under Omega
  • Counselor or Minister for the Dying
  • Scientology Poobah - apparently Richard attested to having made "Clear" in 1979. For links about this scary cult see http://www.xenu.net/ -- the philosophy of the organization also explains why he attacks when questioned
  • Retired Psychologist - never licensed as one
  • Has  a Church - instituted as a tax dodge & penalty dodge when prosecuted by JoAnne Kirley
  • Runs/Owns/Works for a company called Omega Organization International -- Which variously claims to be a church, a video company, a musical publishing company, a paranormal investigation service, an electrical repair company....
  • Also Omega Organization International Laser Products Division
  • Runs/Owns/Works for a production company called Affinity (also referenced as a division of Omega Organization or even simply half of a duet called “Affinity” with Sheila Chatelaine)
  • Runs/Owns/Works for a company called World Meditation Ensemble OR called World Meditation Music Ensemble OR called World Meditation Ensemble and RVW OR recently just called World Ensemble
  • Runs/Owns/Works for a company called World Meditation Ensemble & RVW (note the ampersand on this one...he likes to play the name game to slow down internet searches)
  • Runs/Owns/Works for a company called Laser Concepts
  • Former Real Estate Agent - never licensed as one
  • Event Security Consultant (There IS a Richard *P.* Werth that actually IS a legitimate Security Consultant - Tricky Dickster often points at the credentials of others' with a similar name as his own)
  • Electrician - never licensed as one http://www.saqra.net/vanceunebrouck.htm for an amusing testimonial on his lack of skills

Recently he has tried to combat this list by presenting himself as a lifetime multi-career success, but during the times he was using these career descriptions with various people he always implied that whatever he was telling them he did he had been doing since he was in High School. And I've left off the list some of the really strange claims I've heard... government-sponsored killer whale rescuer and diver and things... I'll talk to some past victims and get those stories again. I had discounted the claims as too silly to believe.

And the latest list from the main page of a self-promotion site (richard-werth.com) created 1/11/08 most likely to try and draw victims away from seeing this site due to upcoming media exposes:

  • Award-Winning Music Composer
  • Award-Winning Music Producer
  • Award-Winning Music Engineer
  • Fine Art Photographer
  • Electronic Engineer
  • Videographer
  • Pioneer Laser Artist
  • Minister
  • Pastoral Counselor

Incidentally, the logic behind asking Dick to email me is that he contacted and threatened Eve the day before someone vandalized her house. I'm hoping he gets off on that kind of thing and would warn me as well.

RESUME FALSIFICATION ISSUE

Richard Werth (RVW) is a master at stating false credits, inflating information, implying credits without having them so people assume he has credibility. Here is a link to a few different resumes. Paramount -- the company that produces Dr Phil -- was amused to find themselves on there (See http://www.saqra.net/dickfile.htm for link to air dates of Dr Phil show. Watch for the upcoming 1 hour expose entitled "Conman" specifically on Richard Carl "Vanceunebrouck" Werth (RVW), owner of World Meditation Ensemble (WME) and Omega Organization International. Of course the Dr Phil Show put a private investigator on Richard before going forward with the show.

In the past when he was claiming Omega was an international Videographer he has claimed to personally work for a long list of companies that would not confirm his employment. Several resumes are available at your request. Or you can Click here for resumes

BTW, that Tangerine Dream credit is real... and very very old. From before the FDA took his laser variance in the late 80s after someone complained he damaged their eyes at the KUBE Haunted Mansion. But I was recently contacted by a dumbfounded man who was the person who actually set up and ran the laser light show at Neighbors (see resume #1- Click here for resumes ) at the time. Just a wild coincidence he happened to see the resume on this site and his name is now on file and ready for testimony as needed.

He has multiple mirrored sites --- full of inaccurate and inflated historical information (for example, according to Richard's family his grandmother was not from Canada, grandma and grandpa both are buried at Acacia Cemetery, with other members of the family. Father was only in charge of the Safeway bakeries in BC, and only for a year. After that, he was sent to Los Angeles. He never built anything.) inflated in the same style as the material on his largely fictional work "resumes" --- the sites he has put are probably to try and make this informational site harder to find and to try and mask the confusion caused by him using the "Vanceunebrouck" false middle name instead of his legal middle name of "Carl."

Now that his focus is World Meditation Ensemble he was claiming his CDs "have received Grammy nominations." He has claimed that in the past on other projects, but the latest CD released 9/06 carries prominent claims on the www.worldmeditationensemble.com website of having been nominated in five categories:

  • Album of the Year
  • Best New Artist
  • New Age
  • Traditional World Music
  • Contemporary World Music

That was not true. It was a lot easier to make this stuff up before the internet but now it takes seconds to research, so always take the time to verify claims.

On the WME site it changed to "Selected by NARAS members for consideration for Grammy Award Nominations." after I added this block to this page... but there are plenty of other references to this claim elsewhere.

 "Who's Who in Music" is a compilation made if you pay to be included.

RICHARD'S WEB LINKS

UPDATE 4/14/08 - There was a huge explosion of Richard "RVW" Werth (director of World Meditation Ensemble) purchasing web domain names when the Dr Phil show decided to tape an episode on him on 1/10/08. This was an attempt to dilute these pages from coming up on a search. There are now over 30 pages I have counted, all with some or part of the same self-promo information.... originally I listed the sites here, but they have become far too numerous to list in any kind of representational fashion.

MORE NEW LINKS for '09:

New websites belonging to Omega: www.laserrepairusa.com and www.lazeriumlasers.com 
Email for laserrepair.usa is laserepair@yahoo.com 
Contact is Rev. Richard V-Werth, omegaorganizationinternational@yahoo.com

Highlights of the dubious content previously displayed (I printed hard copies for my files of most of the sites as they were reported to me):

  • The clerical type vestiments appearing in some photos are from Seattle Catholic Supply. One of his victims tells me that she was with him when he purchased them.
  • He did remove "Buddhist" from the Buddhist Peace Fellowship credit after they disclaimed any relationship with him LINK TO OVERTURNED TESTIMONIALS
  • He also previously had a pretty funny statement near the bottom of one of the first pages saying that the INITIALS on the testimonials may be changed to protect the privacy of the individuals ... and the wording from what was supposed to be a testimonial from someone changed from web page to web page. He removed the "initials" statement after I added a comment that simnply said:

"Why are all his testimonials untraceable initials?" asks Maj. B.S.

People sharing the same bill at an event (or sponsors from an event) can't be honestly stated as "associates." And using testimonials taken before the trouble with a party began is also a deceptive tactic.

 

URGENT ADVICE TO VICTIMS

If you are looking at this, you are probably in trouble. Believe me on this: You will probably need a lawyer. Immediately call your place of business and warn them he may call them harassing you. Contact any mutual friends and tell them he may approach them. If you need more information, email me at saqra@saqra.net. I know this wasn't your fault and it doesn't matter that your case is open-and-shut and simply business... you are in more trouble than you think. The following information is compiled from what has happened in a continuing series of cases stretching back over 25 years:

Immediately stop all in person and telephone contact. One person had a successfully concluded business issue court case by being able to produce original dated copies of email that he was presenting to court edited so make records of absolutely every email, IM, or text message (yes, you CAN document text messages). Send any requests for your product or return of your posessions through a lawyer (spend the money... it will be worth it). He will barrage you with attempts to contact you both personally and through agents until you tell him not to contact you. From what I have seen, once you have cut contact do not accidently make contact or he will have a "countersuit" to muddy the waters.

 He has currently known friends/supporters that act as moles, so be careful who you say ANYTHING to. Contact me directly for a current list of KNOWN names ... these people are not bad, they just don't understand what is really happening as it is very hard to believe.

One important thing you need to be aware of... whether you were a relationship issue or a business issue, he will now be representing you as a "scorned ex-girlfriend" or "scorned ex-boyfriend" to the authorities because this makes the authorities discount your case. Stunningly effective strategy he has been using for many years to discount anyone with any type of complaint.

If you have been involved with him on a more intimate level please just get yourself tested. Update 12/07: Richard has probably been exposed to herpes. A woman/former lover has tested positive (name not listed anywhere on this site) and confirmed it to me. Another former girlfriend ALLEGEDLY has Hep C... that one was definitely told to me second hand, but is too serious NOT to mention as a possibility. Just use your good sense as you would in any relationship. Links to clinics http://www.doh.wa.gov/cfh/STD/facility.htm

Incidentally, his most recent victim tells me the way he handles the multiple girlfriends is to tell one that the other one is something non-threatening like a "homely lesbian" or that he is doing counseling with them (he told the victim one lover was a "drug user" and he was doing couples counseling with her and her husband. Her husband assures me that is not the case). At one point he was involved with four women in the World Meditation Ensemble and was telling them all that they must not act like he and they were together in public because "he didn't know who was leaking [me] information from the band" and *I* might find out and "stalk them!" What a story. So they didn't even know about each other and they were in the same musical group.

I have recently been asked to add that "there is both a video camera and a webcam in the costume room." I'm not sure what that means (if there is internet feed, or internal feed to a house computer, or what) but it jibes with many old reports of hidden video cameras in the house and some past attempts at silencing women through attempted extortion (threatening to publish risque photos and videos).

Recently it appears that aggressive acts may have escalated (see OTHER CASE HISTORIES). In the past there have been restraining orders, now it looks like it may be more important than in the past to pursue one at the first sign you may need it.


"RICH HART" ALIAS DOCUMENTATION FOR ARCHIVE

He was using the name "Richert Wright" with Raks Rafiki back in 2004. See OTHER CASE HISTORIES

He was using the alias "Rich Hart" in conjunction with WME (World Meditation Ensemble) at the same time and continuing in through 2005

If you doubt the name connections and are a computer geek you can verify the following information... as of 12/05 his World Meditation Ensemble web page contains the following keywords in the html:

Why why WHY say such terrible things about that wonderful man?

So you want to know why this is here. Not surprising.... makes me look like an extremist I know.

Nope.... I'm not a cranky ex-girlfriend as Richard likes to claim to discount people (he has even used that one referring to a man). Apparently he has also taken to telling people I asked him out and he turned me down or some such "fatal attraction" kind of thing. The dude is WAY too old for me! And he was dressing in short shorts and wearing pirate shirts all the time when *I* was dealing with him! Well, EWWWWWWWWW!

Every thing on this page I have is as free of opinion and personal experience as I can make it up to this point.... documented in everything from certified letters in false names to copies of court documents. I can give you references from people willing to help you on any of the material above. At this point I am going to express my opinions and viewpoint.

Simple version of my case: I had a simple business deal gone very wrong with this man 10+ years ago. I've seen him about a half dozen times live and talked to him live on only two occasions I remember. I was never involved with him in any sort of personal relationship and honestly I no longer care a whit about the whole thing, but when he was harassing me and my employers apparently for the sheer fun of trying to get me fired (he did manage to do that with 4-5 calls and letters per day to them in various names because he IMAGINED I was talking smack about him over his crazy behavior at my event where he was hired to videotape) he earned my permanent contempt. He was trying to destroy my livelihood and reputation because of imagined insults... and made my life hell for a while. He misrepresented things I said to my employers, cut and pasted together composite statements and tried to get a confederate to give them to other people in my business to discredit me.... went to absolutely wacky lengths to avoid giving me back my lousy $150 or give me my product.

And as I subsequently investigated I discovered he had completely falsified his resume, made up the structure of the business he was harassing me with to the point of making up people's names as company officers and making up a big corporation with a big "legal department" ("Margaret" from "Legal" was absolutely hell on wheels... and completely Dick's fabrication) for a one man unregistered business -- he later got non-profit status to try and stop.

Had I known what his documentable past included I could have completely avoided a ton of stress.... but nobody was talking... even FRIENDS who KNEW about his history of problems. Some because they were embarrassed. Some because he frightened and threatened them with legal action ... he even told one woman he would make an erroneous report to CPS if she didn't stop speaking out. I have contact with legions.... seriously legions... of people who have been mistreated by this (IMO) sociopath... businesses, friends, lovers... and they all tell the same story: they couldn't find any help when things got crazy.

My mom always taught me to tell people when their zipper is down, and to help when needed if you can even if it can cause you some discomfort. I wish someone could have helped me when I was in trouble. So here I am, kind of out on a limb. But this is a very THICK limb and I am assured that this is completely within legal bounds because I have documentation on everything above. My server is also a private server and will support me if harassed... since he and his wife knew me in the aftermath of when this was all going down.

And I don't spend my valuable time seeking out info on him. People send it to ME.

Comments directly to Richard:

This stuff is true Richard, and you know it. If you come after me I WILL subpoena EVERYONE. And I have a much larger database than you realize.

And yes, a class action suit has been discussed.

Most people don't want to deal with this... they are embarrassed or frightened of you. But if you make me subpoena them they will find out how much support they have.

4/10/08

Oh. My. God. How can you take something as significant as the Dalai Lama "Seeds of Compassion" event and try and use it for your own ends?


Fascinating. Everyone involved in the taping of the Dr Phil show had their bank account or Paypal account attacked online by someone with a "War Games" type of password dialer. Don't you own one?


12/21/07

Richard, I've been told repeatedly that you have verbally stated you want to "hire a hit man" and kill me over this web site. Don't worry.... you're okay so far... nobody has it on tape and you haven't said it directly to me --- in fact, if you are so upset about the page how come I HAVEN'T ever heard from you about it? Until recently I assumed you either hadn't seen this or weren't worried about it. "Hit man" sounds worried.

BTW, did you know the kids were in the house when the windows were broken?
