Why we need this Frederick A. Cook website
Because there is a $1,000,000 tax-exempt trust fund fueling an endless propaganda machine promoting Cook as an explorer. The Frederick A. Cook Society has spent up to $115,000.00 in a single year for items that include the "Encyclopedia Project" to put Fred into major reference books. The Vetters fortune requires that the Cook Society officers promote Frederick to the media and keep his phony books in print. Thus "The Prince of Liars" continues to confuse and defraud people today just as he did over 90 years ago.

Newspapers dubbed Fred "The Prince of Liars" and carried his story of reaching the North Pole written while in Leavenworth Prison.

A Public Service Website

"...(Robinson's) website should be considered a public service to answer the question "who was that little "polar controversy" SOB Dr. Cook, anyway? He balances the fringe historians, who claim there was a conspiracy from "Peary's wealthy backers" to (wrongfully) destroy Cook, with a fitting compliment to their "trust funded" propaganda. No sane and intelligent person would doubt Cook was a criminal after visiting this website. The problem is, there are still many people who are neither intelligent nor sane and I fear Robinson's wit may be lost on those who most need his brilliance.... Overall kudos!"

The con artist creed came from Cook 
"Never give up! Never stop lying!"

ENRON

Fred teaches us the essential principle for the career con artist or sociopath; "Never give up! Never stop lying!" Keep asserting that everything is OK, and be calm. The Enron bankruptcy is a perfect example of Fred Cook's behavior principles applied in a corporate setting.

PONZI

Fred invented the pyramid scheme AKA a "Ponzi Scheme". He is the inspiration behind "multilevel marketing", the modern version of a pyramid or Ponzi scheme. Enron was a recent example of this on a billion dollar corporate level. In fact, they were headquartered in Texas, just as Fred's Petroleum Producers company was.

NIXON

Fred inspired Nixon's speech writer who consulted Cook's My Attainment of The Pole when "Tricky Dick" had to flee the Whitehouse. No matter how bad things were, Nixon assured everyone that "he had proof" (his secret tapes) in a manner similar to the way Cook maintained he had proofs to the newspapers.  Nixon blamed everything on a conspiracy against him - just as Fred claimed "Peary's wealthy backers" were out to get him.

MASS FRAUD

Fellow German Adolph Hitler studied Cook's techniques of mass fraud and formalized his theory that "the bigger the lie, the more people will believe it."
