The website Rediscover911.com appeared in 2010,  a new platform to rally the Jew blaming crowd. 

 WHO are the 9/11 conspirators? Israel/Mossad/CIA/Neocons/Big Oil/ Banks/MSM

They're quite frank about blaming the Jews for 9/11.  There's their tagline:

Israel Did 911 | We must confront and expose pure evil

 and more milquetoast equivicating:

 http://web.archive.org/web/20100804045124/http://rediscover911.com/who-did-911/

 There are plenty of websites, documentaries, and articles that go on and on about “Bush & Cheney, U.S. Gov’t, etc, etc” but nobody seems to want to acknowledge the rock solid evidence proving 9/11 was most likely done by the Israeli Mossad in conjunction with the plethora of Zionist American “Jews” whose duplicitous role in the attacks has been thoroughly documented.

 In case you're not sure who are "zionist Jews", photographs are helpfully labeled with a Star of David, like Mr. Frum:

even if the subject hasn't been confirmed by reliable sources to be actually Jewish:

I'm curious as to what his personal religious views are. Has he ever made his views known to the public? (Havermayer (talk) 19:50, 31 December 2008 (UTC))

Well he's Jewish... I've never heard anyone say if he's practicing or not. TastyCakes (talk) 02:26, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

I've removed reference to being Jewish as a matter of religion - being a member of Jewish organizations does not necessarily imply that one is a practicing Jew or a believer. Also, I'm not sure we would call being Jewish or Caucasian an ethnicity, or that we even want to categorize people by ethnicity unless it's relevant to their notability... but even if it is we need a direct citation for that. - Wikidemon (talk) 13:39, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

And of course, the Holocaust never happened:

 Holohoax–A 15-year-old’s school report exposes holocaust lies

 http://rediscover911.com/holohoax-a-15-year-olds-school-report-exposes-holocaust-lies/

 Pretty disgusting a 15 year old is being used to push this garbage, but it's par for the course with these people.  I know at least four "truther" parents who, knowing they are pushing a fraud, continue to brainwash their children into believing it.

Anyway, when Rediscover 911 was set up, there was some nod to shoring up a pretense of credibility, complete with links to 911truth.org:

 http://web.archive.org/web/20100114050804/http://www.rediscover911.com/rediscover911.com/Welcome.html

Give up the belief that “our” government is our government.

“The constant barrage of messages we receive that peace is to be found in war, that freedom is to found in slavery, that wealth is to be found in indebtedness, and that truth is to be found in lies, is pulling humanity away from our fragile inheritance of reason, rationality, and enlightened discourse on the real menaces we face.” http://911truth.org/article.php?story=20091204151919219

The mostly complete original text can be read here:
http://jennyquarx.blogspot.com/2014/08/rediscover-911-jew-hating-website.html

 Though, thanks to the help of another fraud, the design of the original page can in part be seen at a "parody" website, Rediscover911.org:

 The person who set this website up did so claiming to expose "disinformation", which was apparently easier for him to see online, than the Larouche clowns he was surrounded by constantly on the streets of New York during his "truthing".  For years. 

Anyway, the warning is supposed to reassure readers the website is satire and "9/11 Truth is Not about Hate".

Well, it's certainly true people from the left duped into pushing "truth" are meant to believe the movement is not about hate.  And technically it isn't per se, so much and recruiting a political base for fringe right politicians like Ron Paul, and maybe to make some $$$$ selling DVDs.  But to recruit that base it is essential that all the sheeple are tolerant or the Nazis/Racists/ and other hate mongers.  And it's essential to speak directly to the white power base and not alienate them.  Because, between the two, left progressives and the white power Nazis, the Nazis were always more valued members of the "truther" community.  So no, it wasn';t about Hate, it was just about pandering to any warm body, including racists.

The webmaster wrote more here:

http://911blogger.com/news/2010-10-27/rediscover911com-vs-rediscover911org-update

"I don't enjoy this part of my participation in the 9/11 truth movement, but countering mis/disinformation is truly essential to our continued progress."

What a sleazy little liar.  The website actually was  a kind of honey pot for hard core anti racists who had been duped by "da truth".  The webmaster himself has lied so many times about his intentions and activities, I've lost count.   Not including the fake temper tantrums he's thrown, hoping people will include him in their confidence to mollify him.  Truly pathetic.  But it's instructive to examine the original by way of examining the satire.

The second editorial edit reads:

"This is crap!
 While it can't be disputed there are wackos and bigots who participate in the 9/11 Truth Movement, the same could certainly be said about any large social group."

Actually, no.  There are loads of large social groups who have no significant population of racists or Nazis.  Last count, round about MOST of them.   The fact 911 "truth" has so many was a clue it was a racist front from the start.  He goes on:

"The number of people promoting 9/11 truth who believe Israel was responsible is very small."

 At the time he wrote this, in terms of sheer numbers, he was probably right. Much effort has gone into obfuscating the racist fringe politics that founded 911 "truth".  It doesn't change the fact is was founded by racists and all the major leaders are tolerant of persons blaming the Jews.

 "Tens of millions of people around the world support greater transparency on this issue"

 I assume he means "truth", not blaming the Jews.  I have no idea where these figures came from, but the are complete garbage.  Amnesty International, a real activist group, can claim 3 million members globally.

www.amnesty.org/en/who-we-are

 But 911 "truth" has never been in Amnesty International's league.  The closet the "movement" can claim would be something like the Ron Paul/Patriot movement.   Looking at thhe voting numbers would be a better way to gauge actual interest. Popular vote totals for the Repulican Primary in 2012 give Ron Paul over 2 million: 2,095,762.

9/11 Truth and Ron Paul aren't a perfect overlap.  But the political base is the same as what the leaders expect.  One might extrapolote from these figures an interest in 9/11 Truth  globally of a couple of million, but not "Tens of Millions."

"...yet the Mainstream media are quick to dismiss concerns..."

And good on them.  My only criticism is the MSM not doing decisive research to put to rest the idea there are "legions" of truthers "out there".  

The next screen continues with the editorials:

"I would hope the reader would at least entertain the notion that this could be intentional disinformation. Yes, people are this stupid.  But disinformation is also very real...." 

Yes.... and no.  While it is true government and intelligence agencies engaged in less than honorable activities have spread about disinformation, I am 100% certain this is NOT the case in the 911 "truth" movement.   The evidence (and it is voluminous) points to the archetects of so called "disinformation" in 911 "truth"...as the very leaders of the movement themselves.  Including the idot who set up this satire website.

Why would they do this?  Several reasons:  branding, creating their own competition, reinforcing the conspiracy world view that "they" are out to get people, and handily throwing their racist base bones to boot.  The thing Fetzer, Gage, Jones and all the rest fear the most is being investigated for fraud by real authorities.  The second thing they fear is the idea they've deliberately made this conspiracy scam getting any traction among the more intelligent and clearer thinking sheeple, seeing as it will inevitably lead to being investigated, etc.   But send out a constant message of paranoia about disinformation, cointelpro, agents, shills, etc., and, even when a sheeple uncovers a fraud, they will assume a vast spooky network is behind it and fail to go something effective and sensible, like going to the FTC or the FBI.  

Disinformation does exist, but not in 911 "truth", because 911 "truth" was fringe rightwing disinformation from the start.

The next editorial objects:

"There are links to 911truth.org all over.  That in no way represents a relationship between the two sites". 

And here we start to get to the point of the satire website: obfuscation.  Because there actually is a connection between Janice Matthews who ran 911truth.org and Ed Kendrick that goes back to 2006.  But that will be the subject of another blog. Note if the webmaster hadn't made his suspiciously specific denial, no one would have researched to find what connections might exist.

There's another screen with more commentary and archiving copious links to the Architects  group:

:

But it get more interesting when "Truthmove" outright lies on the Who Runs Rediscover911.com ? page:

Rediscover911.com Promotes Bigotry
According to the Medical Professional for 9/11 Truth website J. Edward Kendrick (Fellow in the American College of Dentists. Past President, Greater Kansas City Dental Society. Former Member, Missouri Department of Health advisory board.) is a "charter member." Aside from that credit there is little evidence that Ed has done anything constructive for the 9/11 truth movement or really participated in any significant way.

WRONG.

Kendrick's 9/11 "truth" activities were covered in this article in 2006:

"Steel buildings don't just fall down," shouts Ed Kendrick, a heavyset dentist with a practice on Independence Avenue. Kendrick believes that the buildings actually collapsed because of what he calls a "controlled demolition" from bombs already set inside the towers.

He also organized 9/11 events promoted at 911truth.org calender,  (oops, that must be embarrassing for someone...):

Don Paul

Thursday, September 11, 2008 7:00 PM

Uptown Theater, Kansas City, Missouri 3700 Broadway Kansas City, MO

"9/11 and Change: Freeing Ourselves from the 21st Century's Downward Spiral / A Night of Songs, Poems, Analyses and Planning" The presentation will first review basic gains in knowledge about 9/11/01 over the past seven years. It will point to findings of the San Diego Citizens Grand Jury in April 2007 (for which Don Paul was Chief Prosecutor, Jim Hoffman was Chief Investigator, and Richard Gage and Kevin Ryan were Expert Witnesses ) to identify who and what must have been responsible for key parts of the day's crimes: the failure to intercept off-course airliners, the failure to defend the Pentagon, the demolition of the World Trade Center Twin Towers and Building 7, and the subsequent cover-up of evidence by mass-media and Government officials that has allowed the " 'War on Terror' " to invade Afghanistan and then Iraq. It will review repressive measures that have followed from 9/11/01 in the United States and elsewhere: 2001's PATRIOT Act, 2002's Homeland Security Bill, 2004's Intellgence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act, 2006's Public Law 109-364 and Military Commissions Act, 2007's several Presidential Directives and Executive Orders, 2008's National Identity Card procedures and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 59-- all of these measures building toward incarceration of anyone opposing the " 'War on Terror' " that may soon include invasion of Iran. It will make fun of the officials responsible for the above measures. It will review acts of false-flag terror that preceded and succeeded 9/11/01, from the sinking of the Lusitania to 7/7/07 in London, and show that the same interests and even families have benefited hugely from such acts over decades and even centuries. It will review warnings from Government officials (Dick Cheney, Michael Chertoff, Michael Cherkasky, Jerome Hauer) and leading financiers about the "next terrorist attack." It will trace the inflating and deflating of 'Bubbles' in the U. S. economy over the past dozen or so years and ask what and who have manipulated these Bubbles and what and who are now most liable to the ongoing 'Crash' of Western economies. Finally--and most importantly--it will engage in pointing out alternatives that are available to all of us for stepping out of a economy that's based not on credit and debt but on fair exchange of goods. It will engage in a practical discussion with the audience as to how we can make real change happen apart from the Democrat and Republican Parties. Event organizer: Ed Kendrick whole2th@gmail.com

His events are also promoted on the "good" Scholars website, apparently approved by Victoria Ashley:

And sponsored by 911truth.org.  Hmm.

Eddie has been active for a while, since at least 2004, according to this comment:

But I was on a website for dentists, Dentaltown.com, and on it there was a political board. One guy, Ed Kendrick, continued to ward off the insults and humiliations and kept presenting evidence that 9/11 was an inside job. At first I thought, well, he is a curious character, but not, of course worthy of a lot of time. Little by little, though, I kept seeing his information, and this is early, like 2003. Well, by 2004 Ed had me just skeptical enough of the official story that I read Ruppert Murdoch's Crossing the Rubicon, and that was it.................and ever since.

Source: www.911truth.org

We as members of the 9/11 Truth community deplore all forms of hatred and violence, including the unprovoked murderous attack by James von Brunn on June 10, 2009, in the Washington Holocaust museum. We also deplore peddlers of hatred who use such events for their own purposes, such as Glenn Beck, who recently said that von Brunn, because of his attack, was now "a hero in the 9/11Truther movement," which "would like to destroy the country" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQnfJeUzzKk).
There is no foundation whatsoever for these flagrant lies. Beck intentionally overlooks the fact that he shares Von Brunn's views on the Federal Reserve (stating "it's totally fine to speak out against the Fed"), views that von Brunn acted upon when he tried to arrest the Fed's Board with a bag of weapons in tow. Beck essentially overlooks the fact that von Brunn took action on his White Supremacist views, leading him to murder a Black guard in a Jewish museum. Yet Beck cautions viewers that 9/11 Truth advocates pose a graver threat, and are bent on working with al Qaeda to destroy the nation. ("... people like white supremacists or 9/11 truthers that would also like to destroy the country. They’ll work with anybody they can.")
Beck ostensibly encourages thinking for oneself, questioning authority and holding people to account when it comes to the Fed, yet when it comes to the crimes of 9/11, the mere act of questioning is treasonous, fraught with potential dangers on a scale that threatens the nation itself. Beck facilitates the unfounded, concerted effort to equate all 9/11 Truth advocates with anti-Semites, a propaganda tactic to minimize and demonize dissenting views. Like von Brunn, Beck advocates hatred for those who hold views counter to his own.

Which is cause for amusement when the webmaster of teh satire webstite stops by for a laugh:

I just LOVE the fact that Ed

I just LOVE the fact that Ed Kendrick signed this. The guy who runs Rediscover911.com, an ultra juvenile Israel did 9/11 site.

Jules on Tue, 07/20/2010 - 9:18pm.

Is that the same Kendrick he claimed there was little evidence of Eddies activities in 9/11 "truth"?  Looks like the joke is on "Jules".

There is more evidence of Kendricks involvement in 911Truth, but that will do for now. The point is both these websites are pushing a fraud with disinformation.  The first by using propaganda to blame the Jews to rally racists, and the second uses propaganda to try to keep leftist truthers involved by claiming to confront "disinfo". 

Why was the webmaster unable to find Kendrick involvement in 9/11 truth, going back years?  The answer is two fold:  one, my guess is he knew about it just fine, but he had an agenda.  It is my informed speculation he wanted to get the confidence of anti racist "truthers".

Why?  Any number of reasons, but mostly to  gather information to manipulate them better.  Part of this dance was participating in a private group in a private forum at truthaction.  In this way he, and people like him, could ask loaded questions like: Does anybody know/know about X?

It is assumed people asking these questions are looking for information they don't have.  But in the case of the frauds, they're trying to find out what you know, so they can play dumb about what they know, and try to manipulate with flattery:  "Really?  Gosh your're so smart!"  Since Jules didn't get feedback people people like me knew much of the guy, he didn't see a reason to share Eddie's history which is not t difficult to find if you claim to know how to use the Internet. 

So why didn't the rest of us dig more?  It was "Jules" who brought Eddie up, so we expected "Jules" would volunteer what put Eddie on the radar.  The only information he shared was this website, leaving the impression Eddie was only a dabbler in "truth", when his history goes back to the mid 2000's like all the other big "truther" personalities.


There were many private forum questions about the Rediscover911 website and Ashley's involvement...which I don't recall ever including: "Oh yeah, I've approved his events at our Scholars blog."
(This is the same woman who claims to spot a hoax a mile away...unless it involves Earth Quake machines.) 

So yes, Rediscover911.com is disinformation, disinformation put out by the very same "Truth" movement to manipulate the sheeple they've conned into accepting a conspiracy world view, with the satire website the perfect foil:

If you think Jews did it, the satire is obviously disinfo.
If you think 911 truth is a real activist movement, the Jew hating sight is obviously disinfo.

The truth is, they're both run by conartists.

Viva la Madness!

From Russia With Love

For the record, I have no strong opinion about Abby Martin's motives.  She could be what she appears: a naive idealist sucked into the conspiracy/Patriot movement honestly believing she's part of a progressive movement. This happened to a friend of mine; they(various Patriot sympathizing "truth" groups) pulled out all the stops to convince him he was "on to something".
However it doesn't speak well of Martin's judgement or investigative skills.  She can't have it both ways:  She can't claim to be so informed to have uncovered the government conspiracy of the century and, at the same time,  be completely oblivious that all the sources for this claim originate from fringe right propaganda.

In the wake of the Crimean situation, an Russia Today  journalist speaks out.  But are things what they seem?

Some quotes:

The New Republic:

"When Russia Today anchor Abby Martin ended a broadcast of her media analysis show “Breaking the Set” by looking sternly toward the camera and condemning Russian intervention in Crimea, many expressed amazement that this shiny-haired insurgent was bucking the Kremlin party line. Huffpo UK described the tirade as “spectacularly off-message.” Glenn Greenwald, to no one’s surprise, praised Martin’s bravery. And Martin’s speech did indeed sound quite remarkable, especially amid the blinkered unreality of RT’s overall coverage of Ukraine (which Newsweek has called a “Cold War theme park, without the breadlines.”) As her segment came to a close, Martin gravely said: “Just because I work here, for RT, doesn't mean I don't have editorial independence and I can’t stress enough how strongly I am against any state intervention in a sovereign nation’s affairs. What Russia did is wrong.”

The outburst was not exactly surprising. Martin has always been something of a rabble-rouser and a speaker of truth-to-power, though historically her specialty has been tearing down American political and cultural institutions. She grew up on the west coast and created a 9/11 truther group in San Diego. RT first found her through Occupy Oakland, when she was covering the crackdowns there as a citizen journalist. She worked for a bit as an Occupy correspondent, and then got called to DC to interview for an anchor job. (As she has described her initial reaction to the job interview: “There’s no fucking way in hell I’m moving to DC…lobbyist douchebag central.”) She has a stated affinity for psychedelic drugs. Things she has said on air since joining RT include “Fuck the media, fuck the candidates, fuck the corporatocracy,” and ads for her show feature her smashing a TV set with a sledgehammer. And it's also unsurprising, of course, to think that RT would have relished Martin’s Crimea comments as a neat little opportunity to point out its own openness to dissent."

"But the most telling part of Martin’s rant on Russia Today was its aftermath, during which RT’s image management seemed to go off the rails. The Telegraph reported that RT executives told the UK’s Channel 4 that Martin had been “misled by American media.” Meanwhile RT released a statement yesterday praising itself vis a vis Martin's behavior: “Contrary to the popular opinion, RT doesn’t beat its journalists into submission, and they are free to express their own opinions, not just in private but on the air.” The statement then added: “In her comment Ms. Martin also noted that she does not possess a deep knowledge of reality of the situation in Crimea. As such we'll be sending her to Crimea to give her an opportunity to make up her own mind from the epicenter of the story.” But alas Martin hadn't heard about her employer’s generous offer until the media reported it, and promptly replied on her Twitter feed that she would not in fact be going to Crimea. This whole murkiness of message helps explain why RT’s public perception as a Kremlin-managed monolith is off-base: much of RT's programming is less a well-oiled Russian propaganda machine than a defensive, shapeshifting retort to the Western media—less focused on a coherent foreign policy agenda than on asserting itself as an alternative to American cable news, its ideological chorus so miscellaneous that it somehow includes both Abby Martin and Larry King. "

Or reality is more complicated:

Tablet:

RT Anchor’s Riff Not as ‘Rogue’ As It Seems
How Abby Martin’s on-air jab at Russian intervention in Crimea helps Putin

By James Kirchick |March 4, 2014

 Yesterday, Abby Martin, a host on the Kremlin-funded television network RT (formerly known as Russia Today), used the end of her program to voice opposition to Russia’s occupation of Ukraine’s Crimea region. “Just because I work here at RT doesn’t mean I don’t have any editorial independence. I cannot express how strongly I am against any state intervention in a sovereign nation’s affairs,” Martin said. “What Russia did is wrong.”

"And so, on the face of it, Martin’s dissent from RT’s party line was a breath of fresh air, earning her plaudits across the internet. “For all the self-celebrating American journalists and political commentators: was there even a single U.S. television host who said anything comparable to this in the lead-up to, or the early stages of, the U.S. invasion of Iraq?” asked Glenn Greenwald, a frequent presence on the network. The Huffington Post praised Martin as “going spectacularly rogue.” Some have drawn comparisons to my own brief appearance on RT last August, when, invited to talk about the sentencing of Wikileaks leaker Chelsea Manning, I instead launched into a two-minute tirade against the Kremlin’s homophobic witch-hunt, which got me booted off air."

Highlighting mine.   Ask why wasn't Martin booted off the air.  The probable reasons can't be good.

But Martin’s comments, while certainly a departure from the stale Kremlin talking points offered 24/7 on RT, were hardly as rogue as they might initially seem. Martin couched her criticism of Russian policy by stating that “the coverage I’ve seen of Ukraine has been truly disappointing from all sides of the media spectrum, and ripe with disinformation,” implying that the objectively more accurate reporting of Western outlets are somehow on par with her own network’s blatantly skewed coverage.
“Above all my heart goes out to the Ukrainian people, who are now wedged as pawns in the middle of a global power chess game. They’re the real losers here,” she added. Again, this frames the Ukraine crisis as being equally the fault of Russia and the West, when, from the start, the situation has been instigated and inflamed solely by Moscow. There are no EU or NATO tanks occupying Ukrainian soil. 

 Highlighting mine.  Still wondering?

Those praising Martin would do well to acquaint themselves with the entirety of her work. Before being hired by RT, Martin was a prominent voice in the 9/11 conspiracy movement, which seems to be a job qualification for RT given the amount of airtime it gives to fringe views. In a 2008 video of a 9/11 Truth Movement protest, Martin can be seen stating that the attacks were an “inside job.” She knows this, she said, because, “I’ve researched it for three years and every single thing that I uncover solidifies my belief that it was an inside job and that our government was complicit in what happened.” On her program, she regularly gives air to outrageous conspiracy theories, including the notion that water fluoridation is a pernicious government plot to poison unsuspecting American citizens, an old bugbear of the extreme right-wing John Birch Society. She has also accused Israel of using “Hitler’s methods … to maintain a Jewish majority.”

 Last February, Martin devoted a segment to the history of American “false flag” operations. The term is a favorite of conspiracy theorists, who employ it to describe hostile acts carried out by rogue states and terrorists groups, which are, they claim, really the work democratic governments seeking a pretext for infringements on civil liberties, war, and other acts of imperialist aggression. Beginning with the 1898 sinking of the USS Maine, which ignited the Spanish-American War, up through the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident, Martin, quoting from a website titled, “Israel Did 911,” characterized false-flags as “when a government uses an elite special forces operations cadre to attack that nation-state while falsely bearing the flag of another country or group.”

There is no excuse for a supposedly well informed journalist to be quoting the anti-Semite website Rediscover911.com as a credible source. The link is now a 404, but is still in wayback.  Screen with quote below:

This article, with the quote in question, was also posted by Holocaust denier Fetzer on his website:

http://jamesfetzer.blogspot.com/2010/05/real-reasons-nation-states-institute.html

Only two other blogs have it:

http:// conspiracy-theory-secrets.com/uncategorized/global-watch-weekly-report/

http://hatonn.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

See, the 911 "truth" front is a very, very small club now the hordes of duped leftists have drifted away and the fringe right roots are exposed.  At this time it shouldn't take much investigation skills to realize the conspiracy is a fraud.  Either Martin read it herself and didn't notice the lunacy of her source, or, more likely, someone forwarded the quote and she used it without further investigation, which at the least is sloppy.  But then this is the same person who remains  in deep denial about Ron Paul writing his racists newletters and making money off them for years.

It would be wrong to conclude that, because it hasn’t publicly reprimanded or fired her for her recent comments, RT is proving itself to be an objective purveyor of credible news and information. “Contrary to the popular opinion, RT doesn’t beat its journalists into submission, and they are free to express their own opinions, not just in private but on the air,” the channel said in response to Martin’s broadcast. They should tell that to William Dunbar, a former RT journalist who resigned after he was prevented by the network’s management from reporting on the Russian military’s deliberate bombing of civilian targets during the 2008 Georgia War. “On any issue where there is a Kremlin line, RT is sure to toe it,” Dunbar said.

Indeed, far from damaging the propaganda efforts of the Russian government, Martin’s momentary act of nonconformity plays right into the Kremlin’s hands. RT will now be able to hold up her 60-second departure from the official script as evidence of its editorial independence, as further proof of its vital role as a “counter-hegemonic” news source in a world inundated by corrupt and corporate “Anglo-Saxon media.” Think of Martin as the puppet opposition in a dictatorship, created and sustained by the powers that be as a façade of democracy with which to dazzle credulous Western observers, a practice that Putin has himself perfected.

As a general observation, Russia Today was a match made in heaven between post Gorbachev cynical Russian power brokers and the collective of fringe interests represented by von Mises, Cato, Ron Paul and Larouche.  A foreign news outlet with apparent neutrality was a perfect platform to push conspiracy garbage with a veneer of credibility.   It's exactly the same schtick with PressTv, right down to targeting an English speaking audience.

Even FOX news won't host the Holocaust Denying Duo Fetzer and Barrett anymore, so it was inventive of the "consortium" to find a mainstream appearing megaphone, complete with their own photogenic bobble head.

Russian interests might be bankrolling some of these activities.  One website in particular, otherwise dead, has overwhelming Russian traffic:

[And this is one of many reasons I know, not suspect, but know, it was all a scam.   INTERPOL won't be happy if it involves money.]

If, as I suspect, donations are drying up to support the "truther" con, and some parties are looking for foreign sources of funding, the "consortium" might be biting off more than it can chew.  Tarpley, Fetzer, David Duke, Ron Paul, etc and other fringe drama queens are amateurs compared to Russian politicians and the Russian mafia.  The only one of the scammers I'd lay money on to hold his own is Larouche, and that's just because he's nuts with an army of cultists at his back.   The rest are used to bluffing and blustering with bullshit, usually using the Internet. 

The Russians don't roll that way.  Anyone involved with Putin's propaganda machine, needs to think twice about what they're getting into:

As Luke Harding's book on his own years in Moscow captures well, life in Russia has not changed much: random inconveniences, bizarre coincidences and maddening interventions leave one confused. Did I really fail to lock the office? Why are there cigarette butts in my loo? Why does my phone battery go flat all the time? Am I going mad – or are they really out to get me?
The incidents mostly comprise petty vandalism, silly stunts (someone left a sex manual in his bedroom) and phones that play back your previous conversation.

[BTW?  This is the sort of rubbish the fringe "truther" creeps pull when they want someone to think "agents" are out to get them, to hide the fact it's a con.  But, unlike the Russian mafia, the creeps have no state protection. They just hope no one figures it out.  Oops. ]

Martin is being played.

None of this can end well.
