Kevin Ryan: Ghosting for Griffin to Keep the Truther Con Afloat?

 I rarely write about trutherism these days.  In fact one of my greatest desires is to never write about trutherism again.  Alas, the fraudulent antics of Craig Lazo his ex and his fellow scammers make that impossible until they delete all the material they should never have published...10 years ago.  Anyone who'd like me to utterly loose my interest in what the truther con is doing, should probably talk to Lazo about that.

That said, it's come to my attention truther icon David Ray Griffin is about to release another book.  Lazo's buddy "pat" at Screw Loose Change writes:

David Ray Griffin Comes Up With a Brilliant Way to Dupe People Into Buying His New Book

Gotta hand it to him, this is a real con artist at work:

Not make it obvious, by means of the title, the cover, or the table of contents--that this is ultimately a 9-11 truth book.

However, you can see the fly rapidly heading towards the ointment in this following sentence:

    The hope is that some people, not being aware of my notoriety, read enough of the first part of the book to see that I am not an idiot.

But "pat aka Brainless" hasn't done his due diligence.  Either that or he, like most of the scammers, is invested in pushing one message.  It's really hard to tell.  Ages ago, in some long deleted comments thread, he or one of his fans tried to claim I had Nazis sympathies.  That was so whew! 'out of nowhere', I always suspected he had an agenda(alternately a certain idiot was feeding him lies).  Learning in early 2010 he'd always known that the Holocaust denying, alt-right troll "Killtown" was Craig Lazo only confirmed my suspicions "pat" was a disingenuous political operator.

Anyway, the point is "pat" either has an agenda, or is thinking readers aren't smart enough to check his research.  In the link to the announcement at Journal of 9/11 Studies, one can download David Ray Griffin's announcement. Except it wasn't written by David Ray Griffin.  It was written by Kevin Ryan.

The idea DRG was writing anything should have been suspect.  Even "pats" terminally gullible blog co-owner states a common thought:

James B. said...
I didn't know he was still alive.

27 September, 2016 12:56

He's still alive, but last we heard he has serious health problems, though they cleared up a bit so he could have an interview with White Supremacist supporter

and Holocaust denier Kevin Barrett, as relayed by one of Craig Lazo's penpals who is rumoured to run the Harvard 9/11 truth email list:

David Ray Griffin, Health Recovered, Gives Interview on Kevin Barrett Show

Submitted by gretavo on Mon, 2011-05-16 13:35.

With my standard disclaimer that I do not trust Kevin Barrett very much, here is a repost of the 911blogger post about this, which I copy along with comments because of the evidence therein of fake truth infiltrators including Victronix, YT, Vulich, SnowCrash, Jules, kdub, Gareth and jimd3100 (a few of whom are no doubt sockpuppets of some of the others) doing everything they can to discourage people from listening to Prof. Griffin.  Hear the interview here.

So I guess it's nice of Ryan to step in and take over writing duties.

Now someone is going to say,  well maybe Ryan wrote the announcement for Griffin.  Sorry, if DRG is up to writing a WHOLE BLOODY BOOK, I think he could manage a glorified press release.

Next, Ryan was using his computer and the PDF settings.  Yeah, sure, whatever floats your truther con boat.  This is the same Kevin Ryan who claimed to be a whistle-blower after being fired from UL laboratories.  He was also involved in the previous publishing fraud the Bentham Paper, which for some reason I don't have a blog about.  Must correct that.  Until then Rationalwiki does a good job covering the basics:

Membership of a journal's editorial board can be quite prestigious, but when people realised what sort of company they were dealing with and withdrew their acceptance, Bentham kept their names on the masthead and ignored all demands for removal.^[1] In April 2009, the Open Chemical Physics Journal published an article advocating 9/11 conspiracy theories without anyone bothering to inform the journal's editor, who promptly resigned.^[5]

This aroused the interest of the curious, and Bentham was busted in 2009 accepting a paper for the Open Information Science Journal consisting of random sentences computer-generated with SCIgen, whose imaginary authors both worked at the Center for Research in Applied Phrenology (CRAP).^[6][7] The editor of said journal also quit when he found out what the publisher had done.^[8] Bentham's director of publication claimed they merely sent a fake acceptance to flush out the hoaxer,^[4] but no-one believes him.

So, it's not a surprise Ryan would ghost DRG announcement of his soon to be published book.  The only question that remains is, given how fragile DRG is health wise and given Ryan willingness to engage in less than ethical behaviour in the past, did Ryan actually write DRG new book?

It wouldn't be illegal, but it would raise questions of why he would do it.  Why not, instead, co-write it?  It would accomplish the same thing--issue a new truther propaganda piece to rally the troops--but without the embarrassment of exposure.

Who can tell what goes through the minds of "truther" frauds. Even after I knew the entire "truther" movement was a scam, it baffled me how stupidly it was orchestrated. (I am assuming they didn't want anyone to discover it was a fraud.  I could be wrong....)

 They literally only got as far as they did by a combination of riding the anti-war/anti-Bush wave and pure dumb luck.  As for this new Griffin(Ryan?) book, it'll be interesting to see how many copies sell.   A Google search of the title shows no conspiracy site related searches apart from Journal of 9/11 Studies and Brainless' SLC blog at this time.

Three Stooges: Fetzer, Trump and Barrett

At Skeptics forum William Seger starts a thread about Fetzer and Barrett's latest "fall out".
I don't have time to detail all their previous "disagreements" and "fall outs", but I certainly hope people posting thing like this are being ironic:

Classic! Is there anything that has more entertainment value that either one of these two clowns? Fetzer/Barrett...its like Truther Kindergarten, a couple of 5 year olds yelling "Oh, yeah??" at each other. Wait...a couple of 5 year olds would show more maturity.

Because anyone familiar with these frauds history know this is a con.

Seger writes:

 Their last archived show together was on December 10, with Barrett (a Muslim) reporting from Paris where he was attending a "False Flag Islamophobia Conference" (which he says is a protest to another Islamophobia conference that had rejected his paper on "False Flags and Islamophobia"). Barrett talks about Donald Trump "saying Muslims shouldn't be allowed into the United States. That means, I guess, I'd have to stay here in Paris. I couldn't get back in. I'm gonna have to ask Jim Fetzer to explain what's going on with Donald Trump," It turns out, Fetzer is down with that plan, so things heat up. Then something triggers Fetzer into attacking Barrett for being homophobic and Barrett counters by calling Fetzer a "bombastic loudmouth *******." They managed to finish the show, but apparently continued the discussion later...

http://noliesradio.org/archives/107649

Highlighted text is a strong clue this is just another 'Sode in a long line of fake fights, falling outs and branding games frauds like Fetzer, Craig Lazo (killtown), and Barrett play to keep the rubes confused.   It started with the Scholars "split" and hasn't stopped in almost 10 years.

You're welcome.

Cointelpro, Wikileaks and 911truth, or 'Why We Know There Are No Agents'

To many it seems obvious the claims of "cointelpro agents" or CIA agents sent to disrupt or stop the "truth from coming out is paranoid conspiracy nonsense, along with "concerns" about the New World Order Illuminati Jews being behind everything.

But if the introduction to a group or email list was based on something much more reasonable--social justice work, peace activism, protesting the war in Iraq-- the idea of is not impossible, though one is unlikely to take it too seriously, at least at first.

The problem is, in the history of real activism, there were government programs funded to infiltrate, and in some cases disrupt, legitimate activist groups.  The American Indian and the civil rights movements are a couple of cases.  The Cointelpro program is a documented example.  The motives were a mix of institutional reactionary conservatism and genuine cultural suspicions of radical new movements, never mind their goals were social justice.  To get an idea of the mentality behind infiltrating peace groups, imagine that most people employed in powerful government positions were Tea Partiers.  There wouldn't be a "Tea Party" because they'd be running the show  and want to keep it that way. 

Fast forward to today.   The institutional conservatism of yesteryear has crumbled.  Dinosaurs from the pre-civil rights past can no longer depend on being humoured except in the most backward of states.   Even the GOP has all but abandoned the gay rights/marriage "values" battle as not being worth the fight.  But there remains a sizeable population who feels aggrieved, as if recognizing other peoples human rights somehow takes away theirs.   And while these people have no political pull outside of reactionary circles, they do have cash that can be flimflammed out of them by promises to return to the "Good Old Days". 

This a political fraud Ron Paul became quite expert at, though he's not the only one.  It has several necessary parts:

1. Scapegoatism.  It almost doesn't matter who the scapegoat starts out as.  Eventually it will be revealed to be "Jews".

2. Appeal to Authority:  claiming to be expert, experienced, in possession of special knowledge.  Which Leads to.

3: Persecution complex  : the reason this knowledge is not well known is because of "distruptors" or "agents" trying to muddle the waters with "disinfo".  Eventually the following question will be asked:

4: Why have "they" not killed off the keeper of secrets? The frauds are still working on this one.   Usually once someone starts asking this question, whether a skeptic or a believer who is having doubts, the person's criticisms are written off as the ravings of an "agent"  out to suppress the truth.

This is a self contained loop.  All problems the believer has are due to a "scapegoat", the "authority" has secret information they dispense that no one knows because they are persecuted by the "scapegoat".  Never mind the all powerful scapegoat makes no move to kill or disrupt the "authoritys" life, or, at the very least, have their websites removed.  Which would be really easy for  "government funded agent" to do.  One fabricated claim of Child Pornography on the servers would do the trick.  

This illogic loop keeps people engaged as increasingly more alarming stories of police state repression, often taken out of context (if not outright lies), that are spread to keep the faith.  Religious terminology is being used deliberately, because claims of waking up sheeple to the contrary, the last thing the people benefiting from the truther fraud want is anyone thinking level headed about the issue.

The depressing fact is most people sucked into the conspiracy hoodoo circles take claims of "agents" at face value.  As it is not a default assumption of mine, I have never understood it.  My experience is when people start claiming there are agents etc and they are asked to further explain themselves, or God help them, for proof, things get very very woolly.   If one is approaching 9/11 "truth" from a  historical antiwar perspective, the idea of an agent isn't completely improbable.  But it's also not going to inspire instant paranoia.  On the contrary, if one has no reason to believe they're involved with anything illegal, the idea of catching an agent screwing with my constitutional rights is like Christmas coming early.    It's just a matter of catching them at it.

But it's a long, long road to even taking the idea seriously.  It requires layers of confidence games that are nonsensical at the time, but have one purpose: to convince the few stubborn people "agents" are at work disrupting "truther" activism.  

For instance, one party may send a gushing email  thanking the target for "everything they do".  They hope the target engages, shares more information, which is passed on to other members of the con, members the target is either unaware of or has been given to believe the contact disapproves of.  Weeks or months pass.  If the target remains stubborn or becomes problematic in other ways, this information is leaked "anonymously".  Sometimes even the party who had complimented the target abruptly and publicly switches sides.  Others will say pompously: "See, told ya there were agents!"  (Years later all these people will be exposed as working the same con because eventually te piss off the wrong people.  But that's another story.)

This works with disturbing regularity.  The first assumption should not be of agents, but of a con.  Because it doesn't matter if the person is an agent or not;  contacting people under false pretences to manipulate them is fraud.  And fraud...and conspiracy to commit fraud, and using ISP/emails for malicious communications... are all actual crimes.  As Lazo's associate Mark Fisher found out.

And this is why it is my personal belief the Myth of "Agents" in the truth movement is protected at all costs: once it's obvious the so called "agent" activity is a fraud, it will be impossible to control or protect what is left of the "truther" movement.  

But even knowing how absurd and unlikely "agents" are, it is still useful to once and for all put the matter at rest:  The reason we know---not suspect, but know-- there are no Cointepro/CIA agents active to disrupt 9/11 truth is because the very merchants of these conspiracies were customers of the CIA affiliate STRATFOR.

In late 2011- early 2012, Wikileaks with Anonymous leaked the customer list of STRATFOR, a private intelligence firm that did work for the CIA.  The lists included names, email addresses and credit card numbers.  STRATFOR denied they had a security breach, but it was all posted at the Dazzlepod site, where anyone could look up their information.

In the last year it was deleted but one can find the home page in wayback.

STRATFOR
cleartext passwords

On December 25, 2011, the Anonymous group hacked into a private intelligence agency, Strategic Forecasting Inc. or STRATFOR, based in Austin, Texas. The attack began with the release of STRATFOR's client list announced at https://twitter.com/#!/AnonymousIRC/status/150679351589998593 followed by release of accounts in batches believed to belong to STRATFOR's customers. The release announced in another Twitter post at https://twitter.com/#!/AnonymousIRC/status/150985258999885824 includes emails, passwords (hashed with MD5), home/office addresses and credit card information (full 16-digit number, expiry date and CVV number). The table below is the list of the leaked accounts with the passwords removed.

STRATFOR has brought down their site following the attack but kept their members posted on the status of the attack via their Facebook page.



UPDATE (January 2, 2012): We have processed all 860,000 STRATFOR's registered users and added them into the table below. These users do not have their credit card information leaked. The earlier accounts with credit card information leaked are now tagged with "cc" in the table below.

This disclosure was mentioned in PCWorld, Forbes, CNN, MSNBC, FOX News and TheBlaze.

UPDATE (December 30, 2011): The Anonymous group has just released the remaining accounts making the total of leaked STRATFOR's accounts with credit card information to a total of approx. 75,000. The table below has been updated to include these accounts. Additionally, login information for approx. 860,000 STRATFOR's registered users have been leaked as well but they don't include credit card information; we may update the table below to include these users later.

At the time, for people who still thought there was something to "trutherism" this was exciting news.  Immediately the trusting and naive started looking for evidence on Wikileaks of an "inside job".  They came up with nothing and slowly decided Wikileaks was "controlled opposition".   For instance, this article implies STRATFOR was "concerned":

Wikileaks email dump shows Stratfor’s Burton concerned about skepticism concerning Osama narrative
Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
Tuesday, March 6, 2012

The deluge of Stratfor.com emails released a result of the recent Wikileaks data dump includes a brief note from Stratfor’s vice president for intelligence Fred Burton in which he urges the U.S. government to show photos of Osama Bin Laden’s corpse in order to silence “lunatics like Alex Jones and Glenn Beck” who had questioned the government’s official narrative behind the death of the terror mastermind....

This was eyerollingly predictable and strained, even to people who still bought "truthersim".  There are only so many times one can claim "cointelpro/controlled opposition/disinfo" before it's a clear mantra to explain away inconvenient facts.  Could it be the reason there was no evidence of an "Inside Job" is that there was no "Inside Job"?

That by itself would be disappointing in the sense of wasting time on something that wasn't real.  But even more troubling was that at least two conspiracy websites that pushed the 911 truth movement, Before it's News and Infowars, knew it wasn't real.  Or at least knew they weren't targets of the CIA or any affiliated agency action.  Because both these websites were STRATFOR customers and listed on dazzlepod...under identifiable email addresses:

It doesn't take much imagination to conceive an activist of any stripe signing up for STRATFOR services to see "what they're up to".  But anyone doing so under their real name and identifiable email address is LYING about being targeted by the CIA or any related intelligence firm.
Yet here are some stories from both sites claiming concern about "agents" and "inflitration".
Zionist agents infiltrating  the Truth Movement
Paranoid garbage about the CIA infiltrating alternative media
Yet oddly considering the CIA a valid source for more conspiracy nonsense

Infowars is just as colorful:

CIA Killed Phillip Marshall for Leaking 9/11 Secrets

and article apparently written by White Power booster Kevin Barrett.

Infowars and Before its News aren't the only ones.  Craig "Killtown" Lazo's Portland group and associates had a ridiculously high percentage of STRATFOR customers, including a woman who was part of a radical radio station who had promoted group events:

Gregory Thomson aka Ozzybinoswald, close friend of Lazo and inventor of conspiracy garbage like Mark Humphrey being the Harley Guy and repeating smoke "fakery".  Ozzy really really wants you to believe "agents" perps and shills exist.

Petros Evdokas, caught having a bizarre convo with Lazo on the Cyprus Indymedia email list.  Really, really wants you to believe he was targeted by the CIA...for reasons.  Was also confronted on Indymedia lists for misrepresenting himself and his circumstances.  In other words, he's a fraud.  Daddy Evdokas was a right wing politician:

 The Democratic National Party (Greek: Δημοκρατικό Εθνικό Κόμμα, ΔΕΚ, DEK), was a far-right nationalist political party in Cyprus that advocates union of Cyprus and Greece (Enosis).^[1]

This might explain Evdokas' friendship with White Supremacist supporter Kevin Barrett.  Both Evdokas are in the STRATFOR database, but only as persons of political interest.

Theresa Mitchell, aka Presswatch, an associate and booster for Craig Lazo's Portland group.   She's a "reporter" for an alternative(read, crank) radio station called KBOO that started off as genuine alternative media but has fallen victim to cronyism and Tea Party-esque conspiracy woo.  Has several programs endorsing 911 truth and/or bemoaning the suppression of the "truth".  Really, really wants you to believe Right Wing false flag hysteria and in "Cognitive Infiltration".  Soon after the 9/11 attacks Mitchell expressed concern about CIA activities:

For those of you who feel up to an anarcho-syndicalist and historically critical view of current events, stay tuned for the sort of dissent that is tacitly banned from the corporate-owned media. My surprise at the attacks did not stem from the assumption that they would never occurñI was merely shocked, as everyone was, by the sudden and terrifying loss of life. Given the simplicity of the attack, and the gravity of US provocations around the world for decades, it is remarkable that there have been so few major acts of violence on US soil. In the wake of the US destruction of democracy in Iran in 1954, for example, the CIA set up torture dungeons to aid the rule of the US puppet, the Shah. Here I use the word ìtorture dungeonî in a specific sense; the world saw, after the fall of the Shahís regime, that underground prisons had been constructed, in which dissidents were tortured using information passed along by the CIA.

Apparently her misgivings didn't extend to subscriptions with CIA associates.

Other STRATFOR subscribers involved with conspiracy circles include members of Lew Rockwell's Von Mises institute, and the Larouche fraud Webster Tarpley(See also Kennebunkport Hoax):

Most of these people have claimed at one time or another to be targets of the CIA/COINTELPRO/Agents  and yet they somehow didn't have the foresight to use a burner email account when registering with a business affiliate of the CIA.

From the Mises website(mises.com and mises.org are owned by the same group):

The Gentleman's Guide To Forum Spies - Mises Community Archive ...

The Gentleman's Guide To Forum Spies ... This brings the unrelated postings to the top of the forum list, and the critical posting 'slides' down ...

This is a redirect to this posting.  Maybe the person posted it really believed it, but clearly the people running Mises don't. 

And neither does Webster Tarpley.  He's got one article about "How to identify a CIA limited Hanghout".  But the most priceless one is accusing Wikileaks of being Cognitive Infiltration.  I'd suspect this was revenge for the Anonymous STRATFOR leak, except this article was published 9 months too soon.  In any case, the most suspicious omission from Tarpley's website is any mention of STRATFOR  after the customer email list was leaked. 

Any real activist who knew about STRATFOR would know the business they were in and take a basic precaution of using a fake email.   The fact none of these people used a burner account indicates they all KNEW the conspiracy of 911 and their persecution by or concern about agents was a lie.

The anticipated fall-back position will be :  "That proves THEY are the agents!  Duh!"

Hmm, no.  A real agent would use separate emails to communicate with an "agency" and the people they were "disrupting".   To not do so would get them fired.  These people are reckless amateurs, displaying the usual arrogance of Libertarian/patriot conspiracy frauds thinking they'd never be caught.  You'd think they'd learn after the nth time Anonymous/antifa/ara leaked their emails...

So why did they subscribe to STRATFOR's services?  One probable reason is if you're trying to dupe people into believing a worldwide conspiracy and you claim to have special knowledge, it's really helpful if you do have some privy information to impress the rubes.    Someone with that type of access could hot read rubes all day long.  Who knows, maybe that's how Alex Jones made his fortune.
The point is , by using identifiable emails to subscribe to a CIA affiliated service, these people prove they know they are NOT targets of the CIA.   Therefore their claims of agents/disruptors are lies.   Since this is their basis of proof that a 911 "Inside Job" truth is being suppressed, one can also conclude, since they know these agents don't exist, there is no 9/11 conspiracy for any agents to suppress.

This may seem backwards from the obvious observation outside the conspiracy culture: that there are no agents because there is no conspiracy, but remember it's these individuals who worked overtime, with a variety of confidence games, to convince people "agents were out there".     By subscribing to services with STRATFOR,  a corporation who works closely with the CIA, they showed they never believed in agents or the conspiracy except as a means to defraud people.

The reason there are no agents is because "Trutherism" is a fraud and there is nothing to "suppress".  And the leaders who invented the truther theories knew it. I patiently await the day they all end up in federal prison. It wouldn't be the first time for some of these political frauds.

James Fetzer supports LaRouche PAC; Barrett interviews Gage, White Supremacist Miller

And the penny drops with a thud.

After years of suspicions and dodgy activities, incontrovertible  proof of Fetzer's support and association with the Larouche cult is finally available...from the Larouche PAC itself.

In 2011 one of Fetzer's radio shows was boosted by the PAC:

Obama's Nazi Police State and War Drive Presented on Madison, Wisconsin, Radio

December 16, 2011 • 12:20PM

Obama's Nazi Police State and War Drive Presented on Madison, Wisconsin, Radio 

Radio host and prolific blogger Jim Fetzer hosted Mike Billington for an hour Wednesday night. Fetzer strongly supports the LaRouche movement, and wanted to address the nazi police-state measures being passed this week as part of the National Defense Authorization Bill. Fetzer had already posted on his website the video of Sen. Levin exposing Obama's personal role in preventing the watering down of the bill to eliminate the President's power to arrest and incarcerate Americans indefinitely, without cause or due process.  
      
He asked repeatedly why Obama believes he needs this power, allowing Billington to discuss the control of the madman Obama by the British Empire, the genocidal intentions of that Empire, the history of the Empire's effort to destroy the United States and sovereignty in general, and the necessary mobilization (in spite of Christmas) to stop the onrushing global nuclear war by removing Obama. Billington discussed the potential for victory through Glass Steagall and the global NAWAPA, but that the population and its leaders had to grasp the issue of metaphor and Shelley's concept of the potential transformation of common people through the awakening of creativity in a moment of crisis.       Fetzer had some disagreements on certain historical issues and on the nazi nature of the Green movement, but didn't want to waste time nit-picking over his disagreements, and kept firing questions at Billington. He told his audience that the situation could not be more dangerous, and that they should tune in next week to hear another LaRouche spokesman (Harley), and that they should go the LPAC website in the meantime.

"Fetzer strongly supports the LaRouche movement," ....rarely does one get such unequivocal statements.  Mind, one might expect Fetzer to deny it...except he's blog the interview at his own blog:

Michael Billington / Jim Fetzer / Christoff Lehmann

New American Gulag / PressTV / Libya

Posted by Total at 11:11 PM

The interview can be heard at this link:

http://nwopodcast.com/fetz/media/jim%20fetzer%20real%20deal-billington%20presstiv%20Lehmann.mp3

This is not entirely a surprise.  Fetzer has associated and worked with the sleaziest  Nazi whores promoting the "truth" movement.  But proof of his direct support of known frauds and cultist have been thin.

Fetzer put himself on the radar as more than just a conspiracy kook in the fall out after Tarpley's Kennebunkport warning.   He was almost certainly the person who arranged for the WQ2RX stalking porn videos to be made, that included person information gathered fraudulently mixed with images of sexualized girls, some of whom were preteens.  Ironically it was John Albanese of all people who all but backhandedly confirmed this  when he tried to poo pooed the idea in a private group email exchange, only to be schooled by another participant.

There are archived clips of Fetzer, speaking with Tarpley, and demanding to know who the people were who called out the so called "warning" as a hoax.  Soon after the videos started spawning, some of which very stupidly call for help from Craig "Killtown" Lazo's Portland friends, one a lawyer long overdue for disbarment, another a legal aid who no one has heard from since.  Lazo's friend Andrew Kelly aka Spiney was also a participant, along with the notorious Greg Thomson aka Ozzybinoswald who seems to have made most of the worst videos.

I suppose Fetzer thought he was very clever:

"I'll ask for info on people by radio interview, and when the videos show up no way can anyone think I could ever have anything to do with them being made."

Um, yeah...if they don't have a brain.  Even if Fetzer and his merry band of schmucks managed to convince persons there are "agents" trying to hide the "truth", it's still more likely the people releasing this so called anonymous info are the same scumbags who had scammed them into joining, NOT mysterious government shills.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh.

Let us not forget that Lyndon Larouche is a convicted fraud.   So how fitting that the organization founded by one fraud is exposing another fraud.

There is a very charming fairytale still spread on the James Randi forums(now the International Skeptics whatsit): many posters, bless em,  still cling to the idea Fetzer is somehow a gullible loon who falls for every conspiracy.

On the contrary the evidence overwhelmingly points to Mr. Fetzer being an architect in the creation of these frauds, and ruthlessly recruits front men to hide his part in the con.  His associates include other big name charlatans like Webster Tarpley, Alex Jones,  Kevin Barrett...all who have strong ties to fringe right politics, Nazi apologists and racists.  Fetzer once bragged in an email chain about having a "Portland Contact".  It's obvious that was either Craig Lazo or one of his group, making rumors Fetzer is pretending to not know who Lazo is very, very funny.

Other relevant updates around the same time:  Fetzer's longtime buddy, Kevin Barrett started supporting a racist White Pride candidate, Merlin Miller:

This is so fucking hilarious.  Years ago the most common tactic to manipulate people conned into "truth" to sharing information was claims of "transparency".   Now the sad gits are too afraid to let people hear them.   As if being interviewed by  Holocaust Denier on the same show with a white power racist isn't enough to sink what's left of Richard Gage's tattered credibility.

(For me it was recruiting a convicted sexual predator.  

 John P. DiNatale - Richard Gage's special friend, stood together at the podium in Time Square on 9/11/13.  They also did an interview outside NBC studios on the same day. Richard has known him for at least a year. But why after a year did Richard not know that John P. DiNatale sexually abused a girl under the age of 14? This is not a rumor - this is not libel - this is the truth. John DiNatale is a registered sex offender, being tried and convicted in two different states.

In 2004 he was convicted in Richmond, NY for 2nd degree Sexual Abuse.
In the same year he was convicted in Middlesex, NJ for aggravated criminal sexual contact.

That was the end of even the "maybe he really believes this shit" excuse.  Hmm...what is it about these creeps and sex/porn/pedophilia?)


Alas the password is nothing obviously part of the White Power code.  It's not "88", for instance.  Sigh...if someone cracks the code, please comment.

EDIT 4/15: Password protection appears to be limited for the first day or so the audio is available.  One can now listen through the embedded player.  I'm not sure why.  The usual reason would to keep it from being shared before editors checked it.  But in this case one can't download the audio anyway, so color me meh. 

Let's end with a short list of liars, frauds, and conartists who to this day  support and/or associate with any of the above:

911 blogger Owners/ Mods:   Keogh, Orangatan, and Vicky are all supporters of Richard Gage and his org.  Keogh and Orangatan are directly involved with the organization.  Therefore they should all be aware of Gage's interview with Barrett.  And DiNatale for that matter.

WTCDemolition.com  webmaster, Gustavo Espada.  Also heavy supporter of Gage and Gage's projects, knows full well his so called "nemesis" Keogh and Orangatan at 911Blogger are involved, making all claims at his website of Keogh and Orangutan being "shills" or whatever a fraud of lies and distraction.  Ditto on the DiNatale point.  Fucks sake, the man's freely inventing lies about "agents" and "shills"...shouldn't be too difficult to notice a real liability.  Like the rest of the frauds, he just doesn't care if pedophiles are part of the great big truther tent.

Espada is also a member of Fetzer's scholar's group, something he's never admitted to while he writes the usual bs about Fetzer being a shill.   [Side note: Espada was also a member of Vicky's group for at least several months, something else he's never admitted to]

Looking back the arrogance of these people is amazing.  They clearly never expected to be caught out.  As it is, just wait long enough and it all comes out in the wash.

NO PASARAN

Note on American Eagle Party:
http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com/2015/02/merlin-miller-2012-presidential-nominee-of-american-third-position-forms-american-eagle-party/

Merlin Miller has formed a new party, called the American Eagle Party. Miller had been the 2012 presidential nominee of American Third Position, which later changed its name to the American Freedom Party. Although many leaders of the American Freedom Party have now left it to create the American Eagle Party, the American Freedom Party has not been dissolved.

The American Eagle Party says it stands for (1) ending U.S. involvement in wars around the world; (2) curtailing immigration; (3) reclaiming constitutional rights for citizens; (4) improving the national economy. The Nationalist Times supports the American Eagle Party and has this article about its founding.

The "Nationalist Times"?  Whatever could they be about?  Oh yeah:

Don Wassall became a director on May 4, 2010. Wassall was once the leader of Council of Conservative Citizens chapters in Nevada and Pennsylvania. He has been active in the white supremacist movement for decades, running the American Nationalist Union and its newspaper The Nationalist Times since 1985.

Good comment on not just closet Nazi politics, but how the whole scam gets recycled periodically.  Very applicable to the "truth" movement:

 It’s the same thing they do every time they name change; another attempt to sugar coat it a bit more and paste on another new coat of paint on the same dilapidated structure. It works with a few people for a short time but before too long too many people make the connection, too many nazis and kluckxers join up or get outed, and the cycle repeats.

Cindy Sheehan, Davie Duke and blaming Israel or Oh, How We Have Fallen

On the other hand, can one really "fall" if they weren't what they claimed to be to begin with?

Cindy Sheehan was a celebrity in the anti-war movement during the Bush years, and her politics  appeared unequivocally to be from the left, for social justice, human rights, women;s rights, etc, etc.  How far left was she assumed to be?  If you'd told people back in 2003 that Sheehan would be endorsed by David Duke, at best you'd be laughed at, at worst you'd be assumed to be some sort of Republican operative.

Sheehan anti-war work begin soon after her son's death in 2004.  And while one wants to be sympathetic, one is annoyed when facts emerge that seem to support the conservative belief at that time that Sheehan had a dishonest political agenda:

Almost everyone in the media is afraid to address this issue. After all, Cindy Sheehan has had her son torn away from her forever, and as a society we see any attacks on a grieving mother as beyond contemptible. However, while sorrow from the loss of a child makes many parents seek out the help of the clergy and councilors, Cindy Sheehan’s grief led her to seek out a public relations firm connected to Moveon.org. While the parents of fallen soldiers usually use the opportunity to speak out in support for what their departed son or daughter believed, Cindy Sheehan has chosen to attack it. And while most other parents of fallen soldiers limit their comments to the War, Cindy Sheehan has not just attacked President Bush and the United States’ presence in Iraq, but hurled anti-Semitic comments about Jews instigating the War, her son not enlisting in the Army to die for Israel, and demanding that Israel pull out of the Occupied Territories. What does this have to due with the loss of her son? Absolutely nothing other than verifying the fact that Cindy Sheehan is using the death of Casey as free publicity to promote her personal agenda.

 While the writer's implication that no other parents of dead soldier ever  grieved by questioning the war is simply incorrect, facts do emerge showing Sheehan to be less than honest about her agenda:

Claim:   Casey Sheehan's grave is unmarked with a standard headstone.

Status:   Multiple:

• Casey Sheehan's grave lacked a headstone for the first two years after his death:   True.
• Casey Sheehan's grave is not now marked with a headstone:   False.

  To Whom it May Concern:


  Imagine my distress when I turned Night Line on last night and I was conf=

  I was on the Night Line Townhall Meeting in Washington, DC on 01/27/05. A=

fter I spoke (which I think was a fluke), Ted Koppel dismissed me as being =

"emotional." First of all, how can I approach this discussion without emoti=

ons, MY SON WAS KILLED, AND KILLED FOR LIES? Second of all, that show was n=

ot fair and balanced and I think the conclusion "Should we stay" was forego=

ne.


  The show last night was also not fair and balanced. To see all the wives =

being interviewed who had not lost their husbands and to hear what "hard wo=

 think it is to have a child killed in an illegal and immoral war? In this =

"wonderful" group of families left behind, we had exactly ONE of the wives =

call us..she is Diane Rose who was my son's Colonel, Frank Rose's wife. The=

 last time we heard from Diane was in October and we feel we have been left=

 behind by anyone connected to the 2-5 Cavalry. Is support only given if yo=

ur loved one stays alive? One wife was quoted as saying that Sundays were t=

he hardest for the families left behind. My son was killed on Palm Sunday l=

ast year..how does anybody think Sundays are for my family?


  A distraught father who lost his son was shown telling how much his life =

was so adversely affected. Why wasn't a mother (like me) who has been an ou=

tspoken critic of this war and of the President's policies interviewed for =

this piece? Why wasn't I given a chance to talk about 04/04/04 and the seri=

es of lies, mistakes and miscalculations that led to my precious oldest chi=

ld's death??


  General Chiarelli was quoted as saying that 04/04/04 was a "wake up" call=

 to the 2-5 Cavalry. If he thinks it was a "wake up" call, let me tell you =

how having 3 Army officers come to my door on 04/04/04 and tell me that my =

darling son was KIA. I have learned so many details of that day and of my s=

on's experience in Iraq.


  The very first thing that went wrong happened in November at Ft Irwin, Ca=

lifornia...the 2-5 Cavalry went for desert training. They received open des=

ert warfare training and my son was killed in an urban guerilla attack, whi=

ch he hadn't been trained for. Also, he was wearing an inadequate helmet an=

d a Vietnam era flak jacket. Casey was stationed in a very dangerous place,=

 like the General said: FOB War Eagle. I have subsequently learned that the=

 soldiers of the 2-5 Cav who were stationed outside of Baghdad had Kevlar b=

ody armor. I have also found out that Casey slept in the back of his Humvee=

 for the last 2 weeks of his life because there wasn't any room on post for=

 him to have a cot. How tired and overworked was he before he went into tha=

t battle on 04/04/04?


  In addition, my son was killed after L. Paul Bremer inflamed the Shi'a by=

 taking away their tv station and newspapers. The Abu Ghraib scandal was ab=

out to break in America...but it was well known by the Iraqi people that th=

eir citizens were being tortured and defiled in the prisons. My son was a s=

itting duck by the time 04/04/04 rolled around.


  The very worst thing of all, is that my son was sent to rescue some fello=

w soldiers trapped in an ambush in the back of a LMTV..which is basically a=

n open air trailer. It would be the equivalent of driving through Dallas on=

 11/22/63 in a Convertible. The troops stationed at FOB War Eagle were sent=

 ahead of their tanks and Bradleys!!! They had to go into battle in the bac=

k of LMTV's and non-armored Humvees. This is just proof to me that our troo=

ps are as important to their leaders as bullets are. It is a small miracle =

that only 7 of them were killed in the ambush. Luckily for the rest of the =

moms, it was dark. After my son's murder, there was an article in Stars and=

 Stripes that quoted one of Casey's superior officers as saying. "04 April =

taught us a lesson. We won't send soldiers to battle without their armor an=

y more." How do you think that made me feel? It was like "OOOPS, your dear =

son was killed. Life happens. Oh well, you live and learn." The General was=

 also quoted as saying that the insurgency "surprised" them. Why? Has there=

 ever been an invasion/occupation of a sovereign country that hasn't been r=

esisted? Anyone with half a brain and an even rudimentary understanding of =

history would know that all occupations are resisted. The Pentagon and the =

Army brass did not plan adequately for an occupation.


  Then Gen. Chiarelli said the thing that upset me the most. He said that t=

he loss of life was terrible, but at least Iraqis had elections on 01/30/05=

. With the continuuing insurgency and with Iraqis and Americans losing thei=

r lives everyday there, how can he be proud of that? I may remind you and t=

on't let the smoking gun be a mushroom cloud. Rumsfeld and Colin Powell poi=

  The second reason that America was given before the invasion was that Sad=

aden! Oh really??? The hijackers were predominantly Saudi Arabian as was Os=

ama (who is still at large, by the way). The theory that Saddam had anythin=

America.


  One reason that the President DID NOT give for the invasion and occupatio=

others whose children didn't come home under the cover of darkness in flag-=

ry that my son's blood had to be their leaders' lesson in how to occupy a c=

ountry and fight an insurgency. My son is dead forever and my joy has been =

 Relevant passages in bold red.   

Sheehan later denied mentioning Israel,  dissembling  in this CNN transcript:

 COOPER: You were also quoted as saying, "My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel. You get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine and you'll stop the terrorism." How responsible do you believe Israel is for the amount of terrorism in the world?

SHEEHAN: I didn't say that.

COOPER: You didn't say that? OK.

SHEEHAN: I didn't -- I didn't say -- I didn't say that my son died for Israel. I've never said that. I saw somebody wrote that and it wasn't my words. Those aren't even words that I would say.

I do believe that the Palestinian issue is a hot issue that needs to be solved and it needs to be more fair and equitable but I never said my son died for Israel.

COOPER: OK, I'm glad I asked you that because, you know, as you know, there's tons of stuff floating around on the Internet on sites of all political persuasions.

SHEEHAN: I know and that's not -- yes.

COOPER: So, I'm glad we had the opportunity to clear that.

SHEEHAN: Yes, and thank you because those are not my words. Those aren't -- that doesn't even sound like me saying that.

 Of course, it's a conspiracy:

After Slate published an extract from a letter that she wrote last March to ABC Nightline, Anderson Cooper of CNN asked her about the anti-Israel remarks the letter contained. She denied making them and proceeded in her blog to assert that someone had gotten hold of her original letter and somehow doctored it. This dark and murky allegation—evincing further paranoia on her part—has been easily and convincingly refuted, as can be seen in this sidebar. Cindy Sheehan, not content with echoing the Bin-Ladenist line that the president is the real "terrorist" and that he is the tool of a Jewish cabal, has dug a pit of falsehood around her own wild story.

The sidebar can still be viewed in wayback:

Cindy Sheehan has denied that she wrote certain parts of the March 15, 2005, letter that was e-mailed to Nightline in her name. This was the letter quoted in Slate's Aug. 15 Fighting Words column. Specifically, Sheehan claimed that her letter was doctored after the fact to include anti-Israel language. Here is the controversial passage:

Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the army to protect America, not Israel. Am I stupid? No, I know full well that my son, my family, this nation and this world were betrayed by George Bush who was influenced by the neo-con PNAC agendas after 9/11. We were told that we were attacked on 9/11 because the terrorists hate our freedoms and democracy … not for the real reason, because the Arab Muslims who attacked us hate our middle-eastern foreign policy.

Was the letter doctored? Or did she write the anti-Israel language in it?

In March, after participating in a Nightline town hall meeting, Cindy Sheehan wrote a letter and e-mailed it to James Morris—an anti-Zionist activist—who forwarded it at her request to Nightline Executive Producer Tom Bettag. Sheehan admits this, and Nightline spokesperson Emily Lenzner has confirmed that Bettag received Sheehan's e-mail via Morris on March 15.

On Aug. 15, Anderson Cooper asked her about the anti-Zionist statements contained in the letter, and she denied having made them. Sheehan then claimed that Morris doctored her Nightline letter. On Aug. 17, she wrote in her blog:

Another "big deal" today was the lie that I had said that Casey died for Israel. I never said that, I never wrote that. I had supposedly said it in a letter that I wrote to Ted Koppel's producer in March. I wrote the letter because I was upset at the way Ted treated me when I appeared at a Nightline Town Hall meeting in January right after the inauguration. I felt that Ted had totally disrespected me. I wrote the letter to Ted Bettag [sic] and cc'd a copy to the person who gave me Ted's [sic] address. I believe he changed the email and sent it out to capitalize on my new found notoriety by promoting his own agenda.

[Note: Sheehan misremembered when she said that she cc'd it. Nightline and Morris both confirm that she sent the letter to Morris, who forwarded it to Bettag.]

Sheehan subsequently implied, through a spokesperson at Fenton Communications, that Morris had hacked into her e-mail. Later, Fenton Communications and Sheehan backed off the hacking claim, but both maintain that the words in the letter about Israel are not her own. For his part, Morris denies having tampered with the letter and confirms that the version circulating is the same as the one she sent to him.

There is other proof that Sheehan wrote the whole letter. After she sent the letter to Morris, Sheehan also e-mailed it to several other people, including Tony Tersch, a retiree living in Thailand, and Skeeter Gallagher. Both belong to a small Internet bulletin board called Bull Yard. Tersch had become her correspondent after contacting her out of personal and political sympathy. At Gallagher's request, Tersch posted Sheehan's letter to Bull Yard on March 17. Here is the letter as it appears there. This is the version that has been circulating, and from which Slate quoted. Tersch has confirmed that he received the letter from Sheehan directly and has stated that he did not doctor the e-mail before posting it.

Unless Sheehan is the victim of an elaborate Morris-Tersch conspiracy quietly put in motion on March 17, months before she became famous, those are her words.—By Blake Wilson

Sheehan's excuses--someone hacked me, not my words, etc--echo Ron Paul's dissembling over his racist newsletter, but I digress.

It has taken years, but it's more and more obvious that Ms. Sheehan was never what she claimed to be, a left antiwar activist. In fact she appears to have, from the beginning had a sympathy for the fringe right politics,  thus explaining the support she garnered from that quarter, seen by leftists as anomalies in her activist career.  They weren't anomalies, they were flags:

Support  from Scientologist and Nazi Jamie Kelso:

Kelso is a senior moderator for Stormfront, a white supremacist website. He is also an aide to another nutbar, former KKK member David Duke. Pictured below are Duke and Kelso at the National Air & Space Museum in Washington D.C. (photo from WorldNetDaily). Kelso is a supporter of the supposed Republican Ron Paul's (aka RuPaul) presidential campaign. A recent post from Little Green Footballs shows photos of Paul with the owner of the Stormfront hate site, Don Black and Black's son. The photos were allegedly taken by Kelso.

Duke and Kelso have been open supporters of Cindy Sheehan, something ignored by the liberal MSM.

I'm going to dispute "ignored".  More like had no idea it was going on or where to look. 

I know for a fact when the fake antiwar truther brigade recruits, they try to hide as long as possible their racist connections.  I don't know what the theory is: that by the time you know, they can blackmail you?  It never occurs to them one will be so pissed at being tricked by Nazi apologist they won't care?  Dunno.  Racism clearly makes people stupid.

Here's even a photo-op of Kelso and Sheehan:

And one of Kelso and Duke, who also supports Sheehan.

Support from KKK David Duke.  (Craig Lazo also had an association with David Duke through the APFN board).

 David Duke Gets Behind Cindy Sheehan
Posted by Rob Port
Published: August 14, 2005 - 8:14 PM

From the blog of David Duke, America's best-known racist and former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan:

    Cindy Sheehan, a mother who lost a son in the Iraq War, is determined to prevent other mothers and fathers from experiencing the same loss.

    Courageously she has gone to Texas near the ranch of President Bush and braved the elements and a hostile Jewish supremacist media to demand a meeting with him and a good explanation why her son and other's sons and daughters must die and be disfigured in a war for Israel rather than for America.

    Recently, she had the courage to state the obvious that her son signed up in the military to protect America not to die for Israel.

Read the whole thing.

The conclusion to draw from this is not that being against the war is racist or anything like that. The conclusion to draw is that Cindy Sheehan's anti-war views or so off-the-wall nutty that rabid anti-semitic kooks like David Duke agree with her.

This speaks to the validity of Cindy Sheehan's reasons for opposing the war, which seem to have more to do a vague distates for Israel than a lot of the leftist demagogues trumpeting her cause would like to admit.

By Rob Port of Say Anything.

This is not a coincidence.  A left anti war activist does not magically get support from the racist right unless the racist right has reason to believe that activist really supports one of their agendas.  An left anti war activist never supports an agenda of the racist right.     

A lesson can be taken away from all this for naive leftists who thought the could make alliances with conservatives over the Iraq war:   if your "alliance" includes anyone with any connection to racist groups or fringe right politics, you CANNOT make an alliance and stay true to your principles.

Sheehan fooled people for a long time.  Her Wikipeidia page still reads like she a mover and shaker in liberal(Americal definition) politics, but the truth is she's embraced the far right, Tea Party, libertarian fringe.  After all, that's how they're going to take roll call, with Sheehan 2014 Gubernatorial publicity stunt:   www.cindy2014.org/

I'm calling it:  whatever the turnout is, it will be used as "proof" of a silent majority. 
Variation:   if Sheehan doesn't even run a real campaign, the turnout will be used as "proof" of a vast grassroots effort.  Actually all that proves is these lying,  scammy, closet racists use private email lists and internet boards to organize. 

This also gives some insight into what was really happening during Webster Tarpley's Kennebunkpport Hoax, supposedly attacking Sheehan and three other activists.  One has to look as the predictable result of that hoax:  the few truthers committed to the antiwar movement rallied around her.  Nice way to keep track of them.   Now years later, someone pointed out to me Kevin Barrett, a supporter of the Kennebunkport Hoax and and who, to this day, supports Tarpley's ridiculous COINTELPRO accusations,  interviewed Cindy Sheehan this year.

It took 7 years but the cat's out of the bag.  Sheehan is a fraud using the antiwar movement to gain credibility and push ridiculous anti-Jewish conspiracy theories.   A bit like she's using her son's death as a weak anti-tax platform:

Sheehan is being sued by the IRS for failure to pay taxes. "I feel like I gave my son to this country in an illegal and immoral war. I'll never get him back," Sheehan said. "And, so, if they can give me my son back, then I'll pay my taxes. And that's not going to happen."

The way these things play out is usually some sort of stand off/publicity stunt orchestrated by the Patriot/Tea Party/ Militia crowd to "prove" we are living in a "police state".   Ed and Elaine Brown are perfect examples, as their loudest fan was a man called Fred Smart, active in the Libertarian Party and patron of Rosalee Grable aka Webfairy.  

It's hard to tell if Sheehan is a pasty or a player.  She dissembles like a player, someone who knows she's lying.  But she acts like a pasty in other ways.  Like not paying taxes that I assume she can  pay.  Really?  How does she think that's going to end well?    It could be Sheehan has worked herself into a position where she quite literally can't do anything else for a living but be an "activist".   I expect most of her liberal contacts have distanced themselves from her and she's surrounded by Tea Party, "truthers" and fringe loons.  I would be a little sympathetic except....I find it hard to believe she doesn't know the 911 truth movement is all a con by now.

Postscript: some of us have not forgotten Sheehan, sometime in 2009ish, unfriended a Facebook user and Sheehan supporter while spreading lies he was "stalking" or involved with "stalking" her. As far as I know, Sheehan has never apologized for this.  It was the first time I started to wonder about her trip and how she could be so gullible.  Turns out she knew what she was doing all along.

It took some of us a while to see the con.

Better late than never.
