Brad Friedman of BradBlog Part 5



...

It's unfortunate so many blog entries were deleted. Based on Judge Rupp's January decision, I could probably get away with reposting all 21. But since I've already rewritten most of it with my destiny cemented in regards to the Friedman-Kimberlin story, it seems pointless. This will be the last of the rewrites.

My biggest regret is having leaned on Mandy Nagy and Patrick Frey for support. They used me. They made it seem they were in my corner. They told lies such as Andrew Breitbart didn't have any money to help me. I wasn't asking for much. I needed next to nothing to get the frivolous lawsuit dismissed. The problem was I had absolutely nothing. It could have gone better. The writ of summons was illegal as proven on this blog, but I digress.

In short, Brad Friedman of Bradblog is a piece of s***. Not everyone is a good person. That dude knowingly outed me to a cyberstalker. I've posted the proof. Friedman is the one who originally outed my real name and an email address. Too bad the Johnny Cash middle finger has been retired.

Last Rewrite of Lost Entries (Then I'm done. Then I'm done):

Brad Friedman should be investigated. Anyone who does so will see why no one with media gravitas takes anything coming out of his website seriously.

Maybe Mr. Freedom of Speech can explain why he has put a robots.txt block on the wayback machine for BRADBLOG.COM? Is it because e.g. embarrassing questions were posed to him concerning one of his earliest hoaxes, the Clint Curtis one?

Brad doesn't want the public to realise he was a no-name until convicted bomber and drug smuggler Brett Kimberlin started supplying him with so-called whistleblowers. Brad claimed in a Time Magazine interview that he had heard of Brett's reward offer for info leading to an election fraud conviction, and then the two of them started Velvet Revolution. Uhm, that would have been about two days later according to whois information on velvetrevolution.us.

At the end of Brad's stories on Sibel Edmonds, he would beg the public for donations. Does that sound familiar, Lee Stranahan and Aaron Walker? Perhaps Brad can supply info on how much VR has raked in from gullible new agers concerned with electoral integrity. I scooped the name of one wealthy donor Lori Grace, the heiress to the Oliver Grace Estate. Perhaps Brett's wealthy Aunt Harriet Crosby has also relinquished a small fortune to VR?

Now I understand how my extensive expose on Brett Kimberlin was completely deleted from Democratic Underground. Brad had inside power at that forum. That's conspiracy fact. One can look into DU's 2004 archives and see that Brad was showcased as one of their bloggers. Excuse me? Why was some failed actor with no journalism skills being front-paged like that?

One of the last things Brad suggested to me was to dig up dirt on himself. I had come across startling info tying the Director of the Election Science Institute to an astroturfing chain. I found Steven Hertzberg busy promoting Republican Matt Damschroder along with Bev Harris. Then ironically Hertzberg ended up at a conspiracy website dissing folks including Bev and Brad for being "CIA Internet Fakes!" He also went on to do extensive political op work for Ron Paul. It was all very odd.

There's much more to the breakup with Brad, but that was the gist. Bradblog buried the story, even though it was accompanied with proof that Hertzberg's brother Robert was one of the first assemblymen to sponsor a bill for new electronic voting technology. That occurred right after the 2000 Presidential vote debacle in Florida. Steven Hertzberg is best known for having whitewashed the 2004 Ohio results while with ESI. His brother Robert once ran for Mayor of Los Angeles.

It didn't take too long to uncover Brad's achilles' heel was Speedway Bomber Brett Kimberlin. That name should sound familiar to folks. He's the one who claimed to have sold pot to Dan Quayle. It turned out even that was fabricated, just like Brett's claims that Michael Connell was fearful of his life due to Karl Rove. A common theme coming out of Brett Kimberlin Productions has been of the right winger turned whistleblower. Now an alleged whistleblower in Sibel Edmonds has become a new BradBlog associate.

Brad says he can't control what the posters at his blog write. He has one moderator Agent 99 who also blogs quite frequently at Big Dan's Big Blog. One can check them out and easily verify their part and parcel involvement in the dissemination of anti-semitic themes. Over the years they have relied on sources such as Willis Carto, Alex Jones, Michael Rivero and other dubious right woos left propagandists.

A lot of crazy stuff established its original mojo through Democratic Underground. Someone named Tinoire who runs Progressive Independent seems to have gotten her start at DU. She is an associate of Michael Rivero, one of the most widely known freeper conspiracy theorists on the net.

Tinoire would like folks to think she is simply a conduit for left wing communists and socialists. The funny thing about that is that to repeat, Tinoire has been a big supporter of Michael Rivero, an extreme right wing Joo hater. Not only that, Tinoire registered Republican to vote for Ron Paul. Not only that, she shared with a Ronald Reagan forum that she had worked in military intelligence. Not only that, Progressive Independent has been affiliated to Velvet Revolution!

Further socratisations revealed with proof that Mike Rivero had direct ties to McDonnell Douglas. During that time it had been the largest military contractor. Fancy that.

Here's another tidbit. Brad Friedman has a close friend named Larisa Alexandrovna who is an editor at Raw Story. A few years ago she blogged that acclaimed New Yorker journalist Mark Singer had wet himself with his work on Brett Kimberlin. She said Brett had been exonerated of the bombings and won a huge settlement. All lies. Brett Kimberlin has had a lot of gall to portray himself as an ex-political prisoner. We're talking about a dude vouched for by Alexandrovna who created Brad Friedman. If there had been no Brett Kimberlin, we'd all be asking wtf is a Brad Friedman. Crazy stuff indeed.

Brad Friedman IS NOT a journalist, far from it. He has been the face of a tabloid donation racket. He and others want folks to believe I am a supertroll with dozens of sock puppets. Brad's moderator Agent 99 has insinuated that. So has Larisa Alexandrovna. Intrepid reporters should contact Lori Grace and other VR donors. They should find out how much that group has raked in over the years through their various hoaxes.

While Bev Harris took a lot of heat as a "grifter," it appears that something far worse has been going on in regards to Velvet Revolution. There has not been one conviction as a result of anything VR has come up with.

It is highly doubtful Brad Friedman is unaware of the anti-semitism generated by his moderator Agent 99. So why has he allowed her to be the sole moderator of his den of sensationalism? I went through Brad's archives trying to figure out why and when she was granted that position. There's nothing. Agent 99 seems to have simply appeared and become part and parcel of BradBlog without much fanfare. Seriously, why is BradBlog moderated by someone with close ties to Jew haters?

So there was a BradBlog guest post by Rebecca Abrahams. She wrote on Michael Connell. Astroturfing refers to the creation of fake grassroot movement. Somehow the idea grew traction that VR was on the verge of cracking the 2004 "stolen" Ohio vote. Abrahams contributed to that hysteria.

I am not saying she is a fake. Yet I do think Abrahams crossed a line in quoting Heather Connell out of context. Here's one dubious excerpt from her BradBlog article.
Connell's wife Heather acknowledges he received threats in the months leading up to his death. But says she was unaware Connell was told not to fly.

"I have spent days and days and days trying to figure it all out. I don't think he would lie to me. Number one, I don't think he took the threats seriously. I never heard 'Don't fly.' ..."
The point is that the threat was real in the same way so is Santa Claus. Abrahams went overboard with this somehow thinking Heather's acknowledgement signified there had been an actual threat made on her husband. No, it only signified Heather Connell had become aware of the convolution generated by VR concerning Michael.

Abrahams' was a similar maneuver to that of Breitbart cult hack Mandy Nagy (via Aaron Walker) informing myself and Mike Stack we are were under risk of Team Kimberlin hitting us with a RICO suit. It was all a hoax andor social engineering.

Over the years Velvet Revolution raked in substantial donations from good-hearted but naive new age philanthropists. Their big schtick was a self-proclaimed ability to find "whistleblowers" blowing the lid off of election fraud. Act I started in late 2004 with Clint Curtis. There was also something called Dieb-Throat. Friedman and his buddy were constantly coming up with that kind of stuff. The "Michael Connell threatened by Karl Rove" hoax emerged in 2008. That had been circumscribed into Cliff Arnebeck's bogus King Lincoln case taking place in the Ohio federal court.

BradBlog likes to consistently whine for donations. Brad says he gets no funding. But why won't he publically disclose how much Velvet Revolution has generated? Bev Harris used to take a lot of flak concerning how much money her Black Box Voting organisation had generated through donations. Why has Brad Friedman escaped such scrutiny?

I just looked through the BradBlog tags for Michael Connell. On July 24th, 2008, Brad penned an article titled, Rove Threatened GOP IT Guru If He Does Not 'Take the Fall' for Election Fraud in Ohio, Says Attorney.

The attorney in question is Cliff Arnebeck. Nowhere in the article is it disclosed that Arnebeck is an attorney for Velvet Revolution. Brad wrote,
In a phone call this afternoon, Arnebeck could not publicly reveal specific details of the information that triggered his concern about the threats to Connell. The message to the IT man from Rove is said to have been sent via a go-between in Ohio. That information led Arnebeck to contact Mukasey after he found the reports to be credible and troubling.

"If there's a credible threat, which I regard this to be," he told The BRAD BLOG, "I have a professional duty to report it."
Well, why hasn't Brad been more clear in disclosing the fact that Arnebeck is an attorney for his and the Speedway Bomber's Velvet Revolution? Where is there any disclosure anywhere from Brad about the specifics of how he and Brett formed VR along with explaining Kimberlin's disgusting past? Brett Kimberlin was never exhonerated. He was never a political prisoner. Why has it taken a nobody like me to bring up these issues? One can scroll down to the comments in that thread and see that I confronted Brad about Brett Kimberlin. I wrote, "Search engine for Brett Kimberlin. Why no story on him, Brad?"

I've made my share of mistakes in blogging. I admit it. I wrote that Brett was a drug dealer, when he was actually a drug smuggler. I questioned Brad not sticking up for Bev Harris at Democratic Underground, when in fact he did. Such minor mistakes shouldn't cloud the message I now set forth with full confidence. All roads concerning Karl Rove making threats to Connell and his wife lead to Brett Kimberlin Productions.

There isn't just an elephant in the BradBlog room. It's fricken packed with a herd of them.

Brad is quite proud of getting published by right wing publications. He fancies himself as neither a Democrat nor Republican. He fancies himself an intrepid journalist, though he has no journalism credentials. If it weren't for Brett Kimberlin supplied "right wing whistleblowers," no one would know who Brad is. Look it up. I am not lying.

The last year Sibel Edmonds has joined forces with Brad. She has come out with her own smear hoax saying that progressive Democrat Jan Schakowsky's morals have been compromised. The "story" is that she has been blackmailed for a lesbian tryst she had with a Turkish operative. I can see how people have been snookered into believing Karl Rove threatened Michael Connell. Karl Rove is nasty, case closed on that. You hear that Rove threatened Connell, and it's human nature to believe it. But now BradBlog smears Jan Schakowsky, one of the most progressive Democrats in Congress? Give me a break. That should be the ultimate red flag to progressives that BradBlog cannot be taken seriously. Jan Schakowsky had lesbian sex with a Turkish spy? Get out of town!

Omg Zilla's in Trouble!






She's "really" very sick and needs your help $$$. Sound familiar?

NJ woman accused of cancer scam for wedding, cash


Zilla doesn't claim she has cancer. Her illness is Lyme's disease. I do not have a clue if that is true or not. If so, I wish her the best of luck with healing. Simply look at her. What a sweetie! Simply look at her attempting to lure money through Wikinut.

I thought conservatives were against begging for entitlement. Apparently not this one. Here are excerpts from some links.

This Ain't Gonna be Pretty
January 16, 2012

This is what it looks like when I start to break. It ain't gonna be pretty, but if I'm going down, I might as well share my meltdown here so you won't have to wonder where I went or what the happened, it will all be right here, and anyway, it's fun to watch other people crack, right? ...

My Dental Hell/sinus infection is not getting any better; after the first round of antibiotics failed, they put me on another, stronger med, and I am halfway through the course of the new prescription and still in pain and sick. This thing is really kicking the life outta me! If this post turns out to be a garbled bunch of nonsense, I shall blame it on the mass of horribleness that feels like it is pressing on my brain by now and the accompanying intermittent fevers which continue to plague me. ...

My daughter, The Little Girl Resister, is very sick today. ... So every 5-10 minutes or so since about seven this morning, I have been cleaning up big puddles of puke from the floor in pretty much every room. ...

And then once the throwing up is temporarily over, I carry her back to the couch or her bed, and then I proceed to get the disinfecting supplies out to sanitize, and every five minutes or so I give her a teeny bit of water or Pedialyte (which I was able to buy today thanks to a nice person who hit my Tip Jar - thanks!) and wait for the next round. It has been brutal for us both. ...



I was worried about my internet getting shut off next week, but figured if I sold some ads or something, I might be able to cover it, but that has become a moot point, because with no electric, that is gone too, and it is bundled with the phone service.
The whole January 2012 link goes like that. Cry me a river!
I will of course go begging to the power company tomorrow and see if I can talk them into a partial payment, but they tend to ask for more than we have available, and at the moment, there ain't much available at all.

It didn't used to be this way! We were once (lower) middle class, we were never rich but we paid our bills on time, were able to put aside a little for savings and even could do fun stuff as a family once in a while. That was before Obamanomics took its toll on the country and our family, as I have explained *previously*.

** The Resistance Benevolence Society - Update: We're screwed **
Traffic has been been growing and remains steady even on days when I don't blog, I am forever amazed at how many old posts from my archives still find new readers and often wonder where those new people are finding my stuff from. My point in mentioning that is, of course, so people know that if they have ads here, or want to put ads here, they will still be seen! If you or someone you know has a business or organization that could use some reasonably priced advertising, please let them know that I offer custom made ads - but they need to get in touch with me soon, as I may be gone for a little while if I can't chase the wolves away again this time.

Then there's the following. Oh Sweet Zilla, for crying out loud.

A Few Things I’d Rather Not Talk About…
Now some of my regular readers have inquired about my health, and if you haven’t noticed, I am not the person who has been doing most of the blogging here or at the new site; I don’t have good news. You may recall that I had explained about how the tick-sick had destroyed my immune system to the point that it was too damaged to react to allergens and other irritants which meant that for a while my asthma and allergies really didn’t bother me and also I was not catching colds even after being exposed to them via my family.

A few weeks ago my allergies started going nuts, but it was mostly manageable with prescription and OTC antihistamines and decongestants, but then my asthma decided to join the party, and every single night I have been waking up several times choking, gasping, and wheezing. For a little while, my inhaler would be enough to handle it well enough so that I could go back to sleep after a short time, but then my inhaler ran out and when I got a new one, it wasn’t the same because the damned government forced drug companies to remove the CFCs that propel life saving medicine into closed up lungs with something called HFA which not only does not push the medicine hard enough to get into narrowed bronchial tubes, but is also something that I apparently have a sensitivity to and it has made my condition gradually worse to the point where all day and all night I am choking and wheezing and last night was the worst night of all in that I honestly feared for my life when I could not draw a even a shallow breath to get some of the medicine inside of my lungs which were in full spasm.

Me socrates cutting in. Yikes with that run on sentence omg.

I do have an old nebulizer machine that my dad used to use when he was alive (he died in 2001) and I have some medicine for it that expired in 2004 which I used anyway because I prefer not to die, and it has worked – sort of, it just doesn’t last as long or do as effective a job as fresher medicine would (it’s albuterol, in case you were wondering). there is not much to do about that as I cannot afford to see a yet another doctor right now and even if I could, I can’t afford to buy fresh medicine.

There is so much going on in the world that I’d like to be writing about, and the worse I feel the less I want to talk about it (which is why I have put off writing about my health lately), but when you can’t breathe, little else matters – and I can’t freakin’ breathe. Luckily, there are wonderful writers keeping my sites going and hopefully at some point this suffocation will pass. In the mean time, please enjoy the posts that my friends have been writing, and if you don’t mind, say a prayer or two for me (and of course I wold not object to anyone hitting my tip jar if they were so inclined).


Mare Stevenson wants to link me to a troll who apparently claims she is faking her illness. I don't know whether it's true or not. It is fact she latches onto big poilitical scammer movements (see dying empire, Breitbart) then grovels for donations. Woe is me, Horatio.

Now she's started a new blog called Batshit Crazy News. She's being propped up as a leading conservative blogger and webmaster by the likes of Robert Stacy McCain and Ladd Ehlinger. Her attacks on me are a diversion.


aaaw, mentioned with FilmLadd and McCain in Paul Lemmen's book acknowledgements


McCain and her promote the Aaron Walker - Swatgate hoax. Ladd's buddies with Dan Backer, the big wig, super pac, Republican political operative/attorney backing Walker.

It's a good thing truth always wins out.

Breitbart blogger featured in "Occupy Unmasked" may be pulling PR stunt with liberal troll

Internet journalist Ron Brynaert was nice enough to give this exclusive to DFQ2. Please try to keep comments on topic.
Coming soon: More emails between former RAW STORY editor Ron Brynaert and Lee Stranahan directly related to SWATings, Neal Rauhauser, Liberty Chick, Patterico, Mike Stack, Brett Kimberlin and many of the characters in Weinergate, SWATgate and Scammerhangate.

See Brynaert's blog at www.ronbryn.blogspot.com and follow his twitter account at www.twitter.com/ronbryn for more details regarding Weinergate, Twittergate, and SWATgate, three never-ending stories involving an absurd #WAR between liberals, conservatives and hackers related to #Anonymous 4chan and #OWS. The NSFW blog post referenced in the emails was written by Schmalfeldt and can be viewed here:

lee stranahan conservative firebrand award winning movie maker one time erotic artist or former pimp for his wife investigated by child protective services now being investigated for kiddy porn.

(Warning: If this story may seem confusing, it's because left and right bloggers are deliberately creating convolution for reasons we still can't completely figure out. Feel free to ask questions in the comments. Play nice, please. Thanks, Ron and Seth)

This Breitbart.com article is also referenced: Stars of ‘Occupy Unmasked’ Threatened with ‘Legitimate Rape’ Ahead of RNC Premiere


For weeks, a left-leaning journalist named Bill Schmalfeldt, who deliberately got himself banned from Daily Kos multiple times this year, has been harassing Lee Stranahan, a reporter for Andrew Breitbart's empire. Or so it seems. He has been using the Twitter handles @LiberalGrouch and @BreitbartsBane to promote extremely vile blog posts attacking Lee Stranahan and his family, and it appears that this may have been to promote the anti-OWS movie "Occupy Unmasked", which was partly financed by Citizens United and has been marketed as Breitbart's last film.

Each has been claiming to call the police and file reports on the other. And it may just be a publicity stunt.

Ron Brynaert, the former executive editor for RAW STORY, has been menaced and smeared by liberal trolls working with Democratic operative Neal Rauhauser and assorted conservative bloggers connected to Breitbart and Tea Party SuperPAC lawyer Dan Backer, ever since he helped the New York Times break a story about Congressman Weiner:

NY Times: fake identities were used on twitter to get information on weiner

Brynaert sent the following emails to Schmalfeldt and Stranahan after the following tweets from @BreitbartsBane were sent to the wrong Twitter account on Sunday night. Referenced in the emails is an argument between Seth Allen (who blogs at DFQ2 and tweets as @Prepostericity) and @BrooksBayne who claims to be a Tea Party founder. Allen got Bayne - who has been accused of antisemitism by many conservatives and liberals - to make some outrageous statements on Twitter regarding the Holocaust, claiming that as few as 100,000 Jews were killed and that the Jews declared war on Germany first.

23h Bill Schmalfeldt ‏@BreitbartsBane See, @robryn, to be a "smear," it has to be "untrue." So, back on the meds and let's get lucid, say what? You can't be on both sides, kid.

23h Bill Schmalfeldt ‏@BreitbartsBane As you dismiss all @stranahan's critics as @NealRauhauser @Shoq and Holocaust denying trolls @robryn take a good look at whose ass you kiss.

23h Bill Schmalfeldt ‏@BreitbartsBane Pimped out his own wife, @robryn. Is that disgusting? Possible child pornographer. Disgusting? In spades. But if @stranahan is your type?

23h Bill Schmalfeldt ‏@BreitbartsBane This might explain why you are held in such low regard yourself, @robryn. Your attempt to cuddle up with @stranahan is duly noted.

23h Bill Schmalfeldt @BreitbartsBane If @Robryn and @stranahan want to hold hands, shivering in the night, hearing voices together, I'm down with that. But learn the truth.

Learn how to spell my name, vile troll. It's ronbryn on Twitter.

I'll send you an email tomorrow to respond to your smear article, provided you publish my emails in full. This one first.

It will be completely my opinion, with absolutely no direction from Lee Stranahan or anyone else. He has no clue I'm writing you, now, and he won't know until you gleefully tweet it.

Your timing is rather strange, since it seems like you want to distract me from tweeting about Patterico, and jam up my timeline with your filthy presence.

You are a vile, disgusting troll who makes me want to vomit.

I think that Lee Stranahan was justified in contacting the police about you. Even if you are on your death bed, it doesn't change the fact that you are scary and menacing. And anyone who feels menaced has a right to call the police. And the degree to which a person feels menaced is something that they only know. Just because he didn't let you disrupt his life and wreak havoc on his job to immediately rush back home doesn't mean he isn't feeling menaced or scared.

I'm not on anyone's side. I'm on the side of truth and journalism, as I've always been. I proudly go after both sides, and defend both sides when I think they are wronged, and I try to always show both sides, if it's possible and/or relevant. Hell, I even defended Neal Rauhauser when he was smeared by Momus aka Jay Batman, who I believe works with him to make him a Phantom Menace Darth Vader.

That said, there are many folks who play victim on the internet. The Breitbart article was completely wrong not to mention that the Occupy Unmasked email - which the most likely author Neal Rauhauser also sent to me - was referencing Akin's words, but I think using "rape" like that is out of line, anyway. Unless you're Louis C.K. or Sarah Silverman, rape jokes are generally frowned upon by normal people.

Do you agree that Brooks Bayne is wrong to call Jewish people "German" when they aren't German, just to piss them off? Do you agree that anyone who claims as few as 100,000 Jews were exterminated is too cowardly to deny the Holocaust so they are just playing the numbers game instead? Do you agree that Neal Rauhauser is wrong to constantly refer to his wife as a Jewish American Princess, which is a derogatory term? Why isn't the antisemitism by Brooks Bayne something that you care about?

I'm not focusing on Rauhauser. I'm not focusing on Bayne. I'm focusing on child pornography allegations against Stranahan and the recent revelation that he pimped out his own wife. Do you find it peculiar that you don't even waste a pixel on that concern.

Say what you will about me. Machts niches. I could care less about your "tweeting about Patterico." Again, despite what the voices are telling you, there's no conspiracy. There's just people trying to get to the truth.

If the facts are vile, they are vile. If the facts are disgusting, they are disgusting. But Stranahan sending YOU — a mentally suspect, unbalanced widget with anger issues — instead of answering for himself — says all that I need to know about him.

Now, go wipe your mouth and chin.

You have very thin skin, don't you, Mr. Brain Salad.

Lee Stranahan has no clue I contacted you, and you seriously have to be mentally unbalanced if you think I'd take directions from someone who has falsely smeared me and lied about me for 15 months. I just stand up for truth.

But why in God's name should I make a promise to anyone who has such a mistaken and low opinion of me and my three decades of journalistic experience? If you can point to a single thing I've written that is not truth, and you can prove it's not truth, put the cards on the table, Ronnie.

I wonder if Patterico took shots at me last night, because you forwarded emails I sent to you.

None of this makes any rational sense. I've now spoken to Dallas and NY FBI offices about the SWATings, Barrett Brown, Patterico, Neal Rauhauser and Tom Ryan, but I can never actually speak to an agent.

Since, duh, we're dealing with hackers, fraudsters and VOIP experts, it's possible that they are intercepting calls, emails, and impersonating people.

And I'm extremely tired of your evasion of questions and the way your posse leaks shit to each other, plays games on the Internet, threatens lawfare....but no law enforcement agency officials ever seem to actually be involved in any investigations.

But I'm going to keep contacting law enforcement agencies until I find someone who will care...and I'm going to make my phone calls from random payphones from now on, just in case hackers are fucking with me.

I'm not only going to publish these emails, I'm going to publish all of our emails from yesterday, as well.

All you ever do is duck questions and play games. You are obviously a fraudster playing games with Neal Rauhauser and Patterico. You even ignored questions about nutty ZAPEM.

Dude.

I'm busy. I'm working on a video with a two year old running around.

Attached screenshot of video.

I'm not ducking anything. I'm trying to deal with a lot of stuff, including your emails.

You've been ducking the same questions for 15 months, Lee.

I don't care about your stupid video...you work for Breitbart....duh...of course you're not voting for Obama.

Stop making the fucking video and make calls to get to the bottom of Weinergate threats and SWATgate, or answer my questions about your pals Patterico and Mandy Nagy, and her pals Zapem and Doug Matthew Stewart. And Mike Stack.

Anyway, I already forwarded the last exchange and that's getting published...and all of our convos from yesterday will be published the day after.

Call Boston now and get the god damned police report regarding Jennifer George. Put in writing what Jennifer Preston told you. Answer one question related to Patterico and Nagy and D Matthew Stewart.

All you ever do is duck questions, and give horseshit answers...because you're obviously part of these hoaxes.

Did you or did you not forward any of my emails to Patterico or Nagy last night. That's one question you can definitively answer.

I'm including Brandon Darby on this reply, since he may be the only person that is honest that you're linked to and actively work with.
