Disgraced Blogger and National Guardsman, John Hoff AKA Johnny Northside Surfaces in Coalgate, Oklahoma

Coalgate, Oklahoma

It has been a while since I posted anything to this Blog. Mainly because, John Hoff has gone into a non-attack mode after the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners denied him admission to the Oklahoma Bar, even after he had passed the Bar exam. The details of the results of the 2-day Bar Examiners hearing can be found on this Blog.

It has been more than seven years since Hoff was exposed by the Oklahoma Bar Examiners and his Blog, The Adventures of Johnny Northside, has not had any updates since 2015. 
During the last seven years, life has gone on and back to normal. I was contacted by John's younger brother, Judd back in 2013 and since then, Judd and I have become pretty good friends.
In early 2020, Judd Hoff invited me to visit him at his home near Alexandria, MN. The exact same property that John Hoff spent many years at while growing up. In June, 2020 I took Judd up on his offer and I spent three days at the Hoff Family home. Judd was very friendly and it ended up being a fun time for me. I was able to get lots of pictures when I flew my drone around the property.

I also was able to meet three of Judd's kids as well. Judd's kids all knew of me from this Blog and my relentless blogging about their Uncle, John. They were nice kids... young adults really. I am glad that I was able to meet them and they were happy to relay their opinions about their Uncle John.

The stories Judd has shared with me about his childhood and growing up with John have been absolutely priceless. Even though Judd has given me permission to publish those stories, I have decided to keep them private. However, if John were to decide to go back to his old ways of attacking people online, then I would begin to publish the antics of a young John Hoff.

Hoff said several years ago on his Blog that "NoMi" aka North Minneapolis, was his home and would be for years to come. As with most of the crap that comes from Hoff, that statement didn't take long to change. The most recent post on this Blog was in June, 2018 and I reported that Hoff had sold his house in North Minneapolis. I speculated on where he would land and call "Home". My guess had been that Hoff would move back to El Paso, Texas. That is where he was based when he was in the Army. It is also where Hoff was when his ex-wife separated and moved to Seattle. Hoff followed soon after but, that is another story.

While this is mere speculation and hear-say, it is believed that Hoff had an affair with a woman in El Paso and fathered a child with her. It is believed that the affair was discovered by his now ex-wife and that is what prompted her to relocate to Seattle, leaving John behind.
It turns out that I was wrong about John moving to El Paso. While he might have visited El Paso, he didn't move there.

John Hoff had joined the National Guard in 2010 and transferred to the Oklahoma unit soon after so he would be deployed to Afghanistan. The reason for such a dramatic effort to re-enlist and be called up to active duty was financial. At the time, Hoff was seriously delinquent with his child support responsibilities and was facing jail if he did not pay his past due payments.
When Hoff returned from Afghanistan, he spent most of his time in Oklahoma and it has been confirmed that he has remained a reserve with the National Guard.

In 2017, Hoff registered to vote and is listed as a Democrat. That information can be found by clicking on.... John Hoff Current Public Info and here, John Hoff Oklahoma Voter.

The two addresses are for his business address, which is where his National Guard base is located a few blocks away. Midwest City is pretty much a southern suburb of Oklahoma City.
The second address is located in Coalgate, Oklahoma. From what I can tell from looking at a map, Coalgate is a small town, about 110 miles southeast from Oklahoma City.
I might mention an interesting tidbit... The address in Coalgate happens to be the listed address for Palmer Law. After reviewing the website www.callpalmer.com, there is no mention of John Hoff. If Hoff is employed by the firm, it is in an unofficial capacity.
 
I admit that I won't be putting much time into finding our what Hoff does with his time in Oklahoma but, if anyone reading this happens to know any additional information.... Please contact me via the Comments and I will get back in touch with you.

Adventures of Johnny Northside Blog Set To Retire June 15, 2015 But, Misadventures Blog Will Continue With John Hoff Information

Please note that the link to Hoff's Notice of Appeal against the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners is posted at the end of this article.

John Hoff has announced he will be stepping aside from his beloved blog in June 2015 but, as Hoff history has shown, it does not mean Hoff will discontinue his bullying ways. It merely means, he will refocus his personal attacks on people he does not like and find another way of doing it.

Hoff has been totally exposed now that the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners denied his application to join the Oklahoma Bar, even though Hoff completed and passed the bar exam.
Their decision was reached after holding a Rule 11 hearing that covered Hoff's character, moral fitness and respect for the law. I was a witness for the OBBE's and testifying against John was a gratifying experience. All of Hoff's misdeeds against others finally came back to haunt him.

Hoff's long history of bullying goes back long before he began blogging in 2008 and I expect him to continue his ways even more now that he has been disgraced from his quest of becoming a lawyer.
After his blog is put to rest, Hoff will be almost 50 years old and essentially starting over from scratch (his student loan debt will likely follow him to his grave), only his public image and credibility will make things more difficult for him. Not to mention, most of his family are at odds with him and likely won't offer him much support. According to his brother, Judd, John lied to him and his mother about his Oklahoma law license status as they had not been aware of a hearing being held.

Word is going around that John will be or already has been reported to the IRS for not claiming income earned in 2013 as well as the Minnesota Unemployment Commission for claiming benefits while not reporting income he earned in Oklahoma at that time. Both of those misdeeds were proven to be fact at the Rule 11 hearing before the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners.

It is the opinion of this blog author that once John is officially done with his Johnny Northside blog, he will be even more dangerous and pose a bigger threat to intensify his bullying because, he might feel he has nothing more to lose after he lost his credibility and dignity (he didn't really have much of those before).

This blog might explore a few changes to the layout or maybe alter the title but, the commitment to stand up to Hoff and his cyber attacks for people scorned by him in the past as well as hoping to prevent future attacks... Will remain a priority.

To close, I offer you the opportunity to read the 8-page notice of Appeal Hoff filed in November against the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners after his application to become a member of the Oklahoma Bar Association was denied. It really is entertaining to read some of his insane reasoning for the basis of his appeal.
Note: The court document was obtained from the Oklahoma Supreme Court records.

Karma Visits Blogger John Hoff In A Big Way As Oklahoma Denies Law License

This Blog post is dedicated to every person who has suffered and endured the unfair attention of John Willard Hoff. 

This article is the first of many regarding north Minneapolis blogger John Hoff AKA Johnny Northside of the Adventures of Johnny Northside Blog and his quest to obtain a license to practice law in the State of Oklahoma.

Specific details involving the long process will follow in the weeks and months to come but, this post will be limited to the facts.
The three images below are copies of the three page document from the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners' "Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law" obtained from the Oklahoma Supreme Court.

To the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners and members of the Oklahoma Bar Association... I offer you my gratitude and a huge THANK YOU!

This Blog Extends Public Apology To Hoff... Family

About two years ago I wrote an article that was meant to expose John Hoff AKA Johnny Northside as being a hypocrite for his writing harsh and unfair criticisms about a person's family that had nothing to do with the actual person John was targeting. The article I posted was about John's brother, Judd Hoff and some information I had found online about him. My intention was to show that John should not be attacking someone else's family when his own family had issues of their own.

I am going on record now by stating online that what I wrote about Judd Hoff in that article and then the comments that followed, was not fair to Judd Hoff and his immediate family and I should have known better than that.

To Judd, his wife and their kids.... I am sorry for writing about any issues you have faced and I am sorry for any ill-will that it caused.  After realizing my mistake, I decided to delete that post as well as the comments.

While I stand firm with this blog and the intentions of it being to inform the public about the dangers and threats posed by John Hoff, I want to make it clear that the focus is on John Hoff.... Not his brother, sister, mother, nieces, nephews and so on.

Some may be curious to know what might have caused me to reconsider what I had said about John's family in the past. I will admit that it was not brought on by myself rather, it was a result of hours of telephone conversations between myself and... Judd Hoff himself.
John Hoff's brother.

I will be posting bits and pieces of things that we have talked about since I first spoke to Judd on December 15, 2014.

For the record: It is true that both John and Judd share the same last name but, Judd is someone I would defend in public if he was unfairly attacked. I can't say the same for John. Judd is an interesting guy who also happens to know a lot of disturbing things about his brother, John.
Why would Judd have any interest in discussing his brother with John's so-called "arch-nemesis" whose former nickname was the "evil anti-Johnny?"
Simple... John Hoff not only will attack anyone he feels like but, John Hoff will and HAS attacked his own family. Judd's reaction was understandable... It pissed him off.

Lastly, I want to extend this last part to Judd Hoff's daughter, Heidi:
"In talking with your dad, I have learned that your (former) uncle has made your life difficult at times and you have had to deal with his actions more than your brothers and sisters. I can understand that you want your anger to be understood. I hope this post is intended to show that my issues have always been between me and your (former) uncle, John and I admit that my writing about Judd was a mistake and that I showed poor judgement by posting it. You are welcome to have your own opinion of me and I don't blame you if your opinion of me is bad but, I hope you are able to form a new opinion of me, much like how my opinion of your dad went from a negative one to the complete opposite once I had the chance to talk to him."

The coming weeks will bring new information and updates regarding John Hoff.

Make A Deal With John Hoff and Get Stung Like A Bee Every Time

Parody comparison of a Bee and John Hoff AKA Johnny Northside

I got an email the other day from a person who has been crucified by John Hoff AKA Johnny Northsider in the past. I had sent them an earlier email to tell them Hoff was once again, going after attorney Jill Clark. Or at least posted the lawsuit that Clark had recently filed in Hennepin County.
For a guy who is wanting to get licensed to practice law... Following up on the most published, attacked subject in blog history, Jill Clark.... Is not the choice many other people would choose to write about.

During the years this blog has existed, there have been countless comparisons made involving Hoff when trying to explain so many of his mis-deeds. Some of the comparisons include: A slug, a yellow journalist (lower than Geraldo Rivera, a member of the Mafia, skid marks, etc., etc., etc.

The comparison that I was given in the email is simply outstanding and I think it deserves to be showcased with a post of its own.

Here is the comparison that was sent to me about John Hoff.

There once was a bee and an alligator that needed to cross the river that was flooding on the side they were on.
The bee couldn’t make it that far and the alligator wasn’t tall enough to navigate the river as it was near the waterfall.
They are mortal enemies that have fought for ages.  Finally when the river was just about to swallow them up they cut a deal.  They agreed that the bee wouldn’t give a deadly sting to the alligator while the alligator promised not to go under and drown the bee.
Soon they were off with the bee riding on the top of the alligator’s head navigating successfully across the river.  They were about half way across but, neither of them were in the safe zone where their individual abilities could save then alone.  All of the sudden the alligator felt the bee give him the deadly sting.
The Alligator yelled to the bee: “what are you thinking?  We were going to make it but, now we both will die?  What gives?”
The bee replies: “I’m sorry, I just couldn’t help myself….I am a bee and that is what I do.”

John Hoff can be compared to the bee. The alligator is like most people and usually don't bother with other people's issues and they make good on their word.
Not the bee.
John Hoff  is stuck on the other side of the river and no one will give him a ride because, they all know what will happen to them if they try to reason with him. 

HE cannot help himself….it is what he is.

Johnny Northside Blog Owner Uses Self as Anonymous Source. Raises Major Credibility Questions

If you give a blogger like John Hoff enough time, eventually he will hang himself.

The north Minneapolis "blog wars" have been going on now for over six years, going back to 2008. While the Misadventures blog was never intended to "compete" with John Hoff's blog, The Adventures of Johnny Northside as Hoff has suggested over the years. I have long maintained that the purpose of this blog was to inform the public about John Hoff by posting facts about his past, his present and how he uses the first amendment as a weapon against anyone who merely rubs him the wrong way.
I have endured countless online attacks from Hoff and I have stuck with it. I have believed that sooner or later, John Hoff's actions will come back to bite him and I suspect his judgement day is near. VERY near. More on that later.

One thing Hoff has been accused of has been his unwillingness to reveal the identity of his "anonymous sources." Hoff's blog is full of posts that have relied on an anonymous source in order for it to appear to have any credibility. When the identity of a source has been questioned, Hoff has fed the public with journalistic fluff that mostly consists of Hoff saying we just have to trust him about his source being an expert or having first hand information. Part of his September 2012 attacks against me and his attempts to ruin my real estate reputation were based on a source that Hoff has refused to give up and he even claimed that he was "protecting them from being stalked."

The anonymous source is... JOHN HOFF aka JOHNNY NORTHSIDE of the Adventures of Johnny Northside Blog! 
This is no allegation either. This is a fact and the proof has been provided by one of the biggest bully bloggers on the Internet. JOHN HOFF has provided the proof that he has given some of his posts credibility by claiming his source is an expert but, that is now known to be a lie. 

On November 22, 2012, Hoff posted an article on his blog about TJ Waconia and he posted the link to the PDF file of the sentencing hearing transcript. Here is what he had to say about where the transcript came from and how it was paid for. Click here to see that post on AJNS

It was more than a month ago when I subscribed to the federal PACER system at the urging of a local attorney, who wanted me to get my own federal court system documents instead of begging them off him all the time. When I first took a whirl around PACER-o-topia, one of the first cases I wanted to explore was the plea deal and prison sentence for Helgason and Balko...
The coolest document in the bunch has to be the transcript of their hearing, which cost a pretty penny but, hey, PayPal donations. Not that many, but enough for a document now and then. Click here for the transcript, which is fairly long. (109 pages!) 

Fast forward to July 29, 2014. Hoff published the proof that he is actually his own anonymous source by going into a detailed lie about where the transcript came from and no mention of how it was paid for.
Here is the big title to his post along with a good portion of the text from the post I have copied directly from his blog.

"FREEDOM!!!! Looms Next Month For The T.J. Waconia Fraudsters After A Half Decade Stretch In Federal Prison! Now For The First Time Online, Freely Available To All, Here Is The 109-Page Transcript Of Their Sentencing..."

Click here to view the 109-page transcript of the sentencing hearing from Thomas J. Balko and Jonathan Helgason, the "TJ Waconia" fraudsters who were sentenced to prison for their fraudulent activities involving scores of houses in North Minneapolis.
Thank You, Belatedly, Anonymous Source
A source who said he or she was "cleaning out their office computer" sent me this document, like, I think it was at least a year ago, maybe more. 
But it was only recently I figured out how to make a PDF link for this document. Every other time I tried to make a link I had a problem and I presume it was because the document was LONG and my connection was SLOW. 
Hey, I'm grassroots media. Often enough I freely admit my little technical struggles and why stories got delayed. 

Allow me to provide the readers with the link to Johnny Northside's post:
John Hoff identified as own anonymous source

In case Hoff tries to back out of his lie, here is a screen shot from the TJ Waconia victims blog where Hoff left comments about publishing victims' names.

Click on image to view larger

This sort of revelation is really disturbing to me because, aside from his own self-promoting as an award winning blog and his comments to the public that he is a journalist who prides himself in publishing the truth, he has the nerve to insult the public by looking them in the eye and... LYING!
No legitimate journalist would try to lie to the public like Hoff has and only a bottom dwelling liar would be so bold as to publish the proof of their lie.

I have a question for Mr. John Hoff.
If you lied about the information in this post, why should we believe a single thing that you have written about since you began blogging?

Mr. Hoff? WHY?

John Hoff Oklahoma Law License Update

Parody of God questioning John Hoff

I have to apologize to readers of this blog for not adding any content or updates until today. Actually, I don't have much to add but, that doesn't mean that there is nothing going on regarding John Hoff.
People and commenters have been asking what the current status is with Hoff and his application to become a licensed attorney in the State of Oklahoma.

Here is what I am able to say at this time...
Hoff's name was listed on the list of people who had taken the Bar Exam in February and passed. Those people attended a function where they were sworn in and given a license to practice law in Oklahoma. However, John Hoff was NOT among those who were sworn in because, the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners continues to investigate Hoff's character and fitness and respect for the law. Until the board gives their approval to the Oklahoma Bar Association, Hoff will not be given his license regardless of the fact that he has passed the Bar Exam. The status of the investigation has not been made public and I can't offer more information at this time.

I will post updates as information becomes available and is considered public information.

This is only my opinion but, my feeling is that John Hoff will end up being denied for a license to practice law. I think that with the number of unethical acts Hoff has committed in his recent past, it will be enough to finally catch up to him and pull him back off of his self-serving perch he has placed himself upon.

Blogger John Hoff Completed Oklahoma Bar Exam But, Status Under Review, Regardless of Test Results

Cartoon parody of John Hoff as a lawyer with his own rules

The Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners held the Bar Exam on February 25-26, 2014.
John Willard Hoff was one of the names published as an out of state applicant prior to the test dates.
I received an email response from the Director of the Board of Bar Examiners on March 5, 2014 that stated John Hoff attended and completed the exam that was held in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

I had sent a package to the board containing information that suggested John Hoff does not have the moral character to become a licensed attorney in Oklahoma. I have been told that I was not the only person that sent them information however, up until the confirmation was received, it was not known if Hoff attended or if he was allowed to take the test.
The results to the exams will not be known or made public for several months.

The board director informed me of the following...

"An applicant is allowed to take a bar exam in Oklahoma even if the character and fitness portion of their application has not yet been approved.  However, should they pass the exam, the applicant is not eligible for admission until the Board has approved their application."

The amount of Hoff material that I submitted was substantial and no date was selected for when the board will complete their investigation and decide if Hoff's application will be approved or denied.
This blog will keep the status updated as information is received.

I do not envy the position the Bar Examiners are in with deciding to approve or deny his application because, I think they could regret it if they let Hoff become a lawyer as his history suggests it will be a matter of time before complaints begin to pile against him.
At the same time though, if they deny the application, they should expect to be made into a spectacle circus because of Hoff's history of appealing and fighting every ruling that went against him.

My hope is that Hoff will be denied a license because, John as a lawyer would mean no one is safe from his attacks. A crazed Hoff with access to court records that are not available to non-lawyers is frankly a very disturbing situation that I hope will never happen.

John Hoff's Employer Identified As Colclazier & Associates of Seminole, Oklahoma

Sorry for the delay in posting this information but, I have been dealing with another matter that continues to take up most of my time.

I have been able to confirm that John Hoff aka Johnny Northside has been staying in Oklahoma in recent months while working for Colclazier and Associates in a undetermined capacity. The law firm is located in Seminole, Oklahoma which is near the city of Ada.

Hoff submitted an application to the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners in early September 2013 to be allowed to take the Oklahoma Bar exam in hopes of becoming a licensed attorney  in the State of Oklahoma. Yes.... Oklahoma.
He has claimed on his blog that he has no plans to move from Minnesota so, I can only speculate that he has been maintaining his north Minneapolis address for residency while working in Oklahoma perhaps on a contract basis.

The law firm Hoff has been working for also employs Lloyd Palmer who is an attorney. Palmer is likely the person who encouraged Hoff to try to make use of his law degree that he obtained from the University of North Dakota nearly 10 years ago.
Hoff made mention of a buddy in one of his articles that was determined to be Sgt. Lloyd Palmer who was also in the same National Guard unit with Hoff,  the 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team.
Here is a link to an audio interview with Palmer:
Lloyd Palmer interview

Here is the information on the law firm Hoff is believed to still be working for...

Colclazier and Associates

404 N Main St
Seminole, OK 74868
(405) 382-1212

A reminder to all readers:
The next time the Bar exam will be offered in Oklahoma is February 2014. In order for John Hoff to be allowed to take the exam, he must pass a character fitness and background check by the Board of Examiners. They will look into the background for the moral character of Hoff and it is my belief that under no circumstances should John Hoff be allowed to take that exam nor should he be allowed the opportunity to become a licensed attorney in any State.
If you have documentation of past Hoff behavior that you believe the Board of Examiners should consider in their investigation, please click the following link for instructions.

Blogger Hoff Pursuing License to Practice Law in Oklahoma, Must Pass Moral & Character Fitness Check

Photo of Hoff obtained from FaceBook page in public domain.

This blog entry is very unique because of the information it contains. Rather than the usual build up about John Hoff’s history before getting to the point of the post, I want to get right to the meat of the story and make the following announcement.

It has been confirmed that John Willard Hoff AKA Johnny Northside of the Adventures of Johnny Northside.com blog, has submitted an application recently with the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners to take the Bar exam to become a licensed attorney in the State of Oklahoma.

Up until this past week it had only been speculation that Hoff had been working in Oklahoma but, unclear in what capacity or for what purpose. I personally can’t claim to be 100% certain of how long he has been working there or who exactly he has been working there. A few sources have given me more specific information but, I decided to focus my attention on getting proof that John Hoff is trying to become a licensed attorney and I am now the first to report the news which was verified by the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners. Now on with the story…

Will Johnny Northside Ever Be Accepted? Not Likely

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Northside, Johnny Northside: Imaginary Secret Agent On The Move As Trackers Close In

Secret Agent John Hoff AKA 00-Hoff. Photo courtesy of StarTribune

I can just picture the scene in my head as I laugh uncontrollably. James Bond music starts playing as John Hoff AKA Johnny Northside, wait, I meant, 00 (as in Double "O") Northside walks across the screen, dressed to no frill in a suit that doesn't fit, his tie resembling a used car salesman's that only covers half his beer belly, then he turns and pulls his cell phone like Bond pulls his gun. 00-Hoff shows his cocky little grin as he knows he is the best secret agent since James Bond. The sad thing about that scene is John Hoff probably played that role in his mind so many times that he starts to see himself as someone he isn't.

He was born John Hoff. Since then he has become John Hoffman, the author of two critically acclaimed books (sarcasm) on Dumpster Diving and then he became Northside... Johnny Northside.

Blogger Johnny Northside Is Helped by "Low Income Property Mogul" Then Turns Against "Slumlords"

"Slug" image courtesy of Ryan Turner

After being a more or less, "John Hoff historian" for the past five years, my reactions to so many of his two-faced, hypocritical and even "thuggish" writings and actions have become somewhat numbed as I am not easily surprised by him anymore. This post is one of the rare times I sit back after discovering Hoff had done something particularly disturbing and think to myself, 'Good God! This slug would think nothing of stealing a toddlers piggy-bank!' (Note: In his Dumpster Diving book he admitted to looting change from a wishing well pool but, that is another story)

Hoff aka Johnny Northside, has done everything he could think of in his attempt to make a name for himself during his self-promoting tour of north Minneapolis. As previously pointed out on this blog, Hoff has gone on an all-out attack against people who the general public would not want to defend. Among some of those targets are Level 3 Sex Offenders, gang members, local residents he has deemed "shady" and one of his favorites to attack... Rental property owners that he has constantly referred to as "Slumlords."

In 2010, Hoff wrote a 24-page plea for "mercy" to the judge in his delinquent child support case that gave an almost play by play description of his life from the early 90's to the present (at that time it was 2010).
In that document, Hoff wrote about two separate times when his very survival was greatly assisted by two people he referred to as "low income rental property mogul" and "low income property mogul(s)."

Blogger Hoff Lies About Where His Donation Money Was Used

Blogger John Hoff owns Minneapolis' most controversial blog,  The Adventures of Johnny Northside.
One of the main purposes for the Misadventures of Johnny Northside blog is to inform the public about Hoff and his past, current and even future wrongdoings. We have documented several instances where Hoff lied to any number of people who range from everyday people who read his blog up to but, not limited to, the Veteran's Administration and at least one judge.

Hoff's biggest enemy is not me, Jim Watkins (as Hoff has stated). Rather it is himself. He gets caught up in the minor publicity that comes with being sued for getting someone fired and LOSING, resulting in a $60,000 judgement against him. For Hoff to appeal the case, he needed roughly $4000 to file the appeal. It ended up being paid by a free speech group that joined his case as a "friend of the court."

Since March of 2011, which is right after he lost round 1 of the "Trial of the Century" (that too was a name Hoff decided to attach to his case), Hoff's homepage on his blog has been soliciting cash donations to help "defend the first amendment." Below is the copy of his plea for money.

Support The Adventures of Johnny Northside--WE NEED FUNDS TO DEFEND THE FIRST AMENDMENT!

 

Blogger Johnny Northside's Penny Stock: Worthless!

On February 21, 2011, Johnny Northside AKA John Hoff, wrote a blog post about a penny stock that he had recently invested his money AND his son's money in. Click here to read his post.

The information below shows the company Hoff invested his and his sons money with, has gone Belly-Up. It seems like everything Hoff touches and puts effort into, seem to do the same thing... TANK!
 The following company financial data was copied on Feb. 28, 2013 and is courtesy of Scottrade.com

SurgLine International, Inc., formerly China Nuvo Solar Energy Inc., is a holding company. The Company wholly owns SurgLine, Inc. (SurgLine) and Nuvo Solar Energy, Inc. Nuvo Solar Energy, Inc. is a development-stage company that owns solar and photovoltaic related technology. The Company is also seeking other business opportunities. 

Bid/Size 0.00 / 0	Ask/Size 0.00 / 0
Price Open 0.00	Previous Close 0.0001
Day High 0.00	Day Low 0.00
52wk High/Date 0.0014 / 5/15/2012	52wk Low/Date 0.0001

Hoff compared this company to north Minneapolis when he said,

"I feel an affinity with the stock. I say to myself, "This stock is like my neighborhood. Right now, you can buy in for pennies on the dollar but we have unlimited potential."

We all have seen the values in Hoff's neighborhood go thru the roof since he announced his big investment. Sarcasm there because, his neighborhood is no better off now than it was before Hoff stumbled into it. One could argue that his "efforts" have done nothing to help the neighborhood but, no one can argue the fact that Hoff's investment vision is really piss-poor.
Hoff's investment in the stock demonstrated that he is "Proud to be an American" ... After all, it WAS a CHINESE company!  Way to invest in your own neighborhood and Country, John!

I might suggest that Hoff should have done some smooth maneuvering and sold the stock when he could have gotten some of the money back. It stands to reason because, before he moved to Minneapolis he maneuvered all around St. Paul. Forget the fact that I am talking about how he lived in a beaten up 1979 Shasta RV and had to constantly move it from street to street to avoid being towed. Click here and see page 11 of the 24-page "Have Mercy" plea Hoff submitted to the judge in  his delinquent child support case.

In looking at past endeavors of John Hoff, I would say the "Safe Bet" is putting your money and trust in places John Hoff is NOT.
"HAVE MERCY!' 

Blogger John Hoff Published Lies & Twisted Facts While "First Amendment Retaliating" Against Online Foe - Part I

This picture explains the feud between Johnny Northside and the Anti-Johnny Northside

Blogger John Hoff AKA Johnny Northside went on a rampage against this blogger with the intention of ruining my professional reputation while smearing me personally at the same time. He published a three part series on his blog that started in September of 2012 and continued into November. Just a few short years ago Hoff sent me an email that more or less said, "Back off of me or I will be forced to First Amendment Retaliate and ruin your career." Click HERE to read Hoff's email threat.

Readers of this blog know that I did not back down to his threat. It took Hoff a few years but, he did finally carry out his threat and the previous post on this Blog documented proof that his attack has yet to stop.

My time has finally allowed me to address some of the lies and partial truths he published in his 3-part attack against me. This is Part I of my series of setting the record straight.
That reminds me of a joke I made up about John Hoff.

Q: How can someone tell when John Hoff is lying?A: His lips are moving! (in his case, his fingers are moving and typing)

Blogger John Hoff Shows Compassion

Forgive me for the title of this post as it was meant in sarcasm. It would appear that Hoff aka Johnny Northside has been glorifying himself on both his blog as well as on the Facebook page, NorthTalk by claiming awareness to a current law would feed millio... Read what he said on his site for yourself.

"A law that languishes in obscurity could feed our nation and save millions of tons of food, if only the law were promoted and publicized."

Yes Sir! Could it be possible that North Minneapolis' top Bully Blogger and scavenger dumpster diver is turning over a new leaf in his life and putting his extensive, student loan paid education (loans not repaid yet) to good use? Better yet, using it to help save our nation and have no time for using his blog for his personal attacks against those who dare challenge him as he has with attorney Jill Clark and his 58+ posts about her?
To that I say, You can take John Hoff out of the dumpster but, you can't take the dumpster out of Hoff. It is in his blood to attack and stalk others while nearly begging to gain supporters for his actions. Wait! That isn't right. Hoff insists that "I" (Jim Watkins) am the stalker.

NoMi Visit Proves To Be Un-Eventful and Tall Tale For Blogger Johnny Northside

Note: This is the 2nd pic taken of John Hoff's roommate.
Taken by Jim Watkins on Oct. 8, 2012 in North Minneapolis.

In October of 2012, John Hoff wrote a scathing article about me, Jim Watkins (called the “anti Johnny” by Hoff) on his blog, consisting of mostly fiction and/or misrepresenting what really happened. I will warn the readers ahead of time that this post won’t contain any juicy details of the events that really took place because the entire encounter was rather quick and uneventful. True to his style of “stirring up shit” and trying to make something out of nothing, Hoff’s post itself ended up being more entertaining than the encounter itself.

The post I am referring to is called, "Afraid To Visit North Minneapolis Himself, Evil Anti-Johnny Sends "Proxy Fraidy Cat" To This Blogger's House, Chapter Three Of The Evil Anti-Johnny Book Of Revelations.."  Click here to read. 

Below is some of the content from Hoff’s post and my words are in bold red.

“Monday while I was away from home and having a late lunch with my attorney after giving a talk to some law students, the Evil Anti-Johnny blogger sent somebody to my house to snap a picture, and then the dude took off running down the alley like, well, there's just no other way to put it.Like a little bitch....”

2013 Marks Over Five Years Of Blogging For The Mis-Adventures of Johnny Northside Blog, Once Deemed a "Bastard Child of a Blog" and "Brief Amusement"

Happy 2013 to all the readers of the Mis-Adventures blog!
The last few months of 2012 were busy ones for me and I didn't post much on this blog as a result. However, that is not saying there was nothing John Hoff-related to post. Hoff was plenty busy keeping up with his attacks against me both on his blog as well as other sites on the Internet. In the coming weeks I will be addressing some of them and ignoring the rest as they tend to be both non-sense and/or repetitive.
I will also be posting my long-overdue response to Hoff's post, "Afraid To Visit North Minneapolis Himself, Evil Anti-Johnny Sends "Proxy Fraidy Cat" To This Blogger's House, Chapter Three Of The Evil Anti-Johnny Book Of Revelations.." 
Consider it the other side to the story if you like but, as I will explain, about the only story involved was the above mentioned post on Hoff's blog and how he came up with such a crazy, far-fetched and some of it simply un-true analysis of the otherwise un-eventful encounter.

All of that and a lot of other updates about John Hoff will be posted here soon!

The headline of this post shows "Bastard Child Of A Blog" and "Brief Amusement" in quotations and the credit for them goes to John Hoff AKA Johnny Northside himself.
The Mis-Adventures of Johnny Northside blog began back in August of 2008 and within days of its birth, Hoff posted his response/opinion to it on his blog. Here is the link to that post... Hoff on the Mis-Adventures of Johnny Northside. In that post, Hoff first referred to me as the "Anti Johnny" and called this blog a "Bastard Child Of A Blog" and "Brief Amusement". Here we are in 2013, over five years since it first appeared online and I can say that John Hoff was mistaken. He was mistaken because, the Mis-Adventures has been alive and well since and is only five months younger than his "long running" blog, The Adventures of Johnny Northside.
This is only my opinion but, with all the content this blog has brought to the public about Hoff and what is soon to come... This blog has been anything but, a "brief amusement" to John Hoff.

North Minneapolis "Yellow Journalist" John Hoff, Uses Non-Existent Sources (allegedly)

John Hoff has said on his blog many times, "I do what I want." Hoff has prided himself an promoted himself (and his blog) as being a "Journalist" while rarely complying with the Journalist's Code of Ethics. Hey... He does what he wants and you better not challenge him or you will face his wrath as he becomes an "800-pound gorilla." (Yes, he has said that many times.)
