A little back ground...
Back before I understood the 911 Truth gig was a scam, I wrote a piece published at 9/11 Blogger titled: "Heroes: The Metaphor and Evolution in 911 Activism Part 1" . The commenter "videohoax", a dishonest troll, commented very strangely. One can see the original post here, where the user link is :

Now if one goes to that URL, one will be sent to Robbie Martin's profile:

Comparison :
I had no idea my troll was Abby Martin's brother. Oh, yeh, it's that Robbie Martin:
Iraq Beheading Video Hoax Press Release - Vanderford ...
videohoax.ctyme.com/
This is the first episode of Media Roots radio with hosts Abby and Robbie Martin. First we introduce each other and explain our personal political awakenings ...
So "videhoax" is a reference to the belief the Iraq beheading video is fake. And this guy thinks it's smart to play creepy games on the Internet while his sister is exploiting a mentally unwell woman to push the conspiracy theories. That looks more and more like funding for a lifestyle...
This is exploitation, pure and simple. If Martin was a real journalist, she'd have done her research on Lindauer and discovered some disturbing things:
She was jailed for about a year but was released from custody in 2006 after another judge ruled that the government couldn't force her to be medicated for her delusions so she could stand trial.
In agreeing with the psychiatrist's finding, Preska noted the defendant once stuffed tissues into her mouth when she was admonished not to speak out during a hearing without consulting her lawyer.
Martin might also become aware Lindauer was unable to answer questions put to her by the Occupy community:
I was fulfilling the role usually handled by diplomats. I would communicate messages back and forth between U.S> Intelligence & Libya/Iraq. The Arab govts greatly appreciated my work at the U.N. against sanctions, and I was well known on the Security Council. Whether they liked my politics depended on their position on sanctions, but I was well known there. It's only the American public that was ignorant of what I had done for years.
When the CIA got warnings about 9/11, in April & May of 2001, I was ordered to deliver threats of War to Iraq's diplomats at the United Nations-- in the event that Iraq discovered intelligence about the conspiracy & failed to pass it back through my back channel. I was instructed to say the threat originated, and I quote "at the highest levels of government above the CIA Director and above the Secretary of State." That was the exact wording.
The Bush White House was already setting up Iraq. Of course Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Again, even if you're tired of 9/11, you've got to know what actually happened, so that you can understand why the War on Terror has been a public fraud to exaggerate White House & Congressional performance on national security. You can't fight back without the facts. You don't need all the details about 9/11 to do that. But you have to know that it was an act of public deception in total. The whole thing was a con job on the American public.
Thanks for the response Susan but you forgot to answer my questions.
What exactly is a back channel?
Who were you actually working for and who was paying your expenses?
How did you end up in this back channel position?
I am really curious as to how somebody could end up in such a influential position.
But that's idle speculation. What isn't speculation: it's obvious that Lindauer is not credible.
I've written before I thought Abby Martin was being played by Russia Today. I'm forced to go farther and conclude Martin is not a journalist, serious or otherwise, but is a Libertarian opportunist. Bringing us to her brother, dear Robbie.
Both support Ron Paul, even years after being proven beyond a shadow of the doubt, Paul is a fringe rightwing loon who hobnobs with Nazi sympathizers and made millions publishing his racist newletters. Newsletters Lew Rockwell, another Libertarian "truther" profited from:
In 1984, as he left Congress, Paul also set up Ron Paul & Associates (RP&A), with his wife and daughter and his former congressional chief of staff, Lew Rockwell. The next year, RP&A began publishing several publications including The Ron Paul Investment Letter, The Ron Paul Survival Report, and The Ron Paul Political Report. By 1993, RP&A was earning $940,000 per year.
Yet Martin and Martin are proud "Voices of Liberty, Powered by Ron Paul":
Robbie Martin - Voices of Liberty, Powered by Ron Paul www.voicesofliberty.com/bio/robbie-martin/This would be laughably hokey, except for the fact that Libertarian Liberty Loons are almost always pushing a hidden racist, reactionary, agenda.
Sep 9, 2014 - Robbie Martin. http://www.mediaroots.org. Co-host of Media Roots Radio with Abby Martin. Founder of RecordLabelRecords.org. Writer for ...
Not hard to find. Either these two intrepid "journalists" are too incompetent to discover this on their own, or, much more likely, they know they're part of a dishonest propaganda machine connected to sleazy racist frauds.
Let's go back to dear, dear Robbie's comments on my blog and see what the point of them could be.
i feel sorry for whoeverWell! I never!
i feel sorry for whoever read that rant!Submitted by videohoax on Tue, 02/10/2009 - 11:48am
But seriously, Robbie aka VH seems to be trolling for discouragement by being dismissive and bitchy. Little did he know, had he simply been honest about being knowingly involved in a right-wing racist fraud, I would have fled the so called "movement" a long, long time ago.
But Robbie wanted to keep that under his hat. Not only that, but he was keenly interested in recruiting leftists to the cause.
i think with the right
i think with the right marketing push and distribution chain this film could get just as popular as some of the recent liberal/left leaning documentaries like Freedom to Facism, Why we Fight, and Who killed the electric car. I wonder what the disinformation people are doing beyond these initial screenings. I firmly believe we could see something like this at sundance or even cannes
thoughts?videohoax on Fri, 09/08/2006 - 5:53pm.
But when he knew he was talking to a left liberal he's dismissive and bitchy? He's doing it wrong.
Of course the real reason was, by this time, those wittingly involved in the truther fraud has sussed out I would never push Ron Paul, would never let Holocaust denial slide, would never swallow any "red pills". Robbie/videohoax wasn't the first passive/aggressive "troll" trying to tell me, via a code so obscure Alan Turning would be at a loss, that I was unwelcome. As I've said before, these people have no one to blame but themselves:
The problem with using left political rhetoric, slogans and ideas is, um...well, the obvious: they set themselves up to get leftists interested in what they had to say. And if they set up their con well(and for several years they did), those leftists are going to get involved and expect them to walk the lefty anti-racist talk. And they'll be very unhappy when the movement "leaders" refuse to denounce, and kick out the racists(Barrett, Fetzer, Bollyn, Thorn, Dice, Tarpley, etc, ad nausum).
Someone didn't think that one through.
Now, with Robbie's wee correction to his 911blogger account, I'm aware of yet one more fraud to add to the list. A few searches will show his sister is promoted on this website:
http://mycatbirdseat.com/2014/06/hillary-clinton-2016-a-recipe-for-endless-war/
On the same website, Merlin Miller is a contributor:
Abby Martin calls out former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton over her lucrative speaking tour in the run up to the 2016 presidential elections as well as outlining the former first lady’s corporate ties
http://mycatbirdseat.com/2014/05/traitors-in-our-government-allegiance-to-israel/
Merlin Miller is a racist with direct ties to the White Supremacist American Freedom Party.Traitors in our Government Allegiance to Israel
There's a fifth column in America. A Trojan Horse within our laws, composed of dual citizens and foreign nationals.
This disgusts me to no end. Of course Robbie and Abby will plead they have no control over who supports their stuff, and how unfair they're being picked on here, "guilt by association", etc. But maybe they should have thought about that before claiming to be "powered by" a racist scumbag like Ron Paul.
Mind, I would have never known that I was the focus of Robbie's attention if the owners of 911blogger had deleted my account and comments because I do not want anything I've said going to support what is now obviously a fraud. That request was made some time ago. I would never have noticed who my troll was if they had been responsive. Maybe the Martins would like a wee chat with the 911blogger owners about that....
And the owners are perfectly capable of removing blogs/comments/accounts. For instance, they've removed the only one I left live...about how Craig 'Killtown' Lazo is friends with Lew Rockwell, Ron Paul's right hand man, proving the truther fraud goes to the top of the Libertarian Party:
If this is it....Part 5- “Killtown”, Lew Rockwell and the Ludwig von Mises Institute

Showing the "never delete" policy is a lie and Keogh and Orangatan are hypocrites. I suspect it was one comment in particular they found troublesome:
Possibly the most important message in this blog--
http://thinkprogress.org/2007/12/26/ron-paul-95-percent-of-black-men-are...
Indeed, it is shocking to consider the uniformity of opinion among blacks in this country. Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5% of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty, and the end of welfare and affirmative action…. Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the “criminal justice system,” I think we can safely assume that 95% of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal.
“But, whoever actually wrote them, the newsletters I saw all had one thing in common: They were published under a banner containing Paul’s name, and the articles (except for one special edition of a newsletter that contained the byline of another writer) seem designed to create the impression that they were written by him--and reflected his views. What they reveal are decades worth of obsession with conspiracies, sympathy for the right-wing militia movement, and deeply held bigotry against blacks, Jews, and gays. In short, they suggest that Ron Paul is not the plain-speaking antiwar activist his supporters believe they are backing--but rather a member in good standing of some of the oldest and ugliest traditions in American politics.”
“To understand Paul’s philosophy, the best place to start is probably the Ludwig von Mises Institute, a libertarian think tank based in Auburn, Alabama. The institute is named for a libertarian Austrian economist, but it was founded by a man named Lew Rockwell, who also served as Paul’s congressional chief of staff from 1978 to 1982.”
“The politics of the organization are complicated--its philosophy derives largely from the work of the late Murray Rothbard, a Bronx-born son of Jewish immigrants from Poland and a self-described “anarcho-capitalist” who viewed the state as nothing more than “a criminal gang”--but one aspect of the institute’s worldview stands out as particularly disturbing: its attachment to the Confederacy.”
And
Now I must regretfully caution all 9/11 truth activists of African descent, or who identify as African descent or who LOOK LIKE they could be of African descent: there are bono fide racists(er, supporters of “the Confederacy”) operating in 9/11 truth and we know how dangerous racists can be. Under no circumstances let anyone manipulate you into surrendering your anonymity unless it is your informed decision.http://coljennysparks.blogspot.com/2010/06/if-this-is-itpart-5-killtown-...Submitted by Col. Jenny Sparks on Wed, 06/02/2010 - 5:29pm.
Now you have to think why would anyone who is not a racist want to hide proof of racists in the 911 truth movement?
It's all good...anyone can still read that blog here:

As for Robbie Martin aka videohoax, I should feel sad for him wasting his life on this fraudulent conspiracy crap.
Then I remember he almost certainly knows it's a front to organize the fringe racist right. He is likely one of the parties behind the heavy Russian webtraffic, here and here, as his Facebook page has him actually living in Russia:

- Podcast & Video Producer, Writer at Media Roots1953 to present
In any case, it's a lesson in how not to do diplomacy. If Robbie's someone's useful idiot, he might consider dropping the gig.
Maybe the next time Robbie thinks about luring leftists into a fringe right propaganda machine just so he can try to bully them when they don't play ball, he'll think twice.
But I doubt it. The grandiose entitlement of "truther" frauds seems without end....
