It's good to have you here, last name

If you've looked over this thread, you can see that I've had a hard time breaking my addiction to Rivero. I'd question his credibility, then he'd say something brilliant in support of Ed and Elaine Brown or make some other heroic sounding comment, and I'd want to give him a second chance all over again. In the past Rivero frequently posted my letters and article links. We'd even had a tiny bit of private correspondence. I had really admired him.

Waking up isn't easy, last name.

A couple weeks ago, Mike made a comment in his Reader's letters section that really changed the way I saw him. I just spent a half-hour trying to find it, but had no luck. Maybe something's wrong with my computer, but I'm having a hell of a time perusiig the letters' archives at WRH Censored.

So I'm going by memory here. But the comment, best I remember, went something this:

"REGARDING CAPITAL PUNISHMENT, IF THE METHOD ISN'T HORRID ENOUGH, IT DOESN'T SERVE MUCH PURPOSE."

- Mike Rivero


Maybe you can have better luck finding it than me. But is Mike Rivero fascist, as you suggest? Really starting to look that way.

Your recent post at WRH Censored was great, imo.

This board is yours, last name. Speak out and speak out loud.


peace

Thanks again. :)

I'm not sure about the Rivero quote you mention, sorry. But it doesn't surprise me.

I have a few quotes from Rivero that I find quite shocking - about hackers, and how they should be put in Guantanamo Bay.

What shocks me about this is two-fold: one, rivero's brutality - two, rivero's support for guantanamo, torture and punitive legal system so long as it is for those he loathes - hackers, for example.

If guantanamo is wrong for "suspected terrorists" it is wrong for everyone, right? It is the PRINCIPLE that is wrong, isn't it? And yet Rivero clearly supports subjecting hackers to such a regime as those suffered by american prisoners in Guantanamo. (See below)

Furthermore - Rivero seems to implicitly support the notion of "enemy combatants" - which is legal novelty employed only by Bushco after 9/11.......and it appears Rivero supports Homeland Security, CIA etc so long as they are efficiently directed at his 'enemies'.

The cyber pirates hitting Estonia
The government's response has been to close down sites under attack to external internet servers while trying to keep them open to users inside Estonia, but the attacks are taking a toll and have been likened by the defence ministry to "terrorist activities".

Invitation To A Break-In
Over the past two years, a group at Sandia National Laboratories known informally as the Red Team has, at customer invitation, either successfully invaded or devised successful mock attacks on 35 out of 35 information systems at various sites, along with their associated security technologies.

-----Their work demonstrates that competent outsiders can hack into almost all networked computers as presently conformed no matter how well guarded, say spokespeople for the group, formally known as the Information Design Assurance Red Team or IDART.

Therefore, we need to change from a policy of defense to one of deterrence. Instead of wasting billions of dollars on anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-whatsis, and firewalls which Sandia proves are totally ineffective, we need to have such severe legal penalties for hacking that no hacker will dare take the chance of being caught.

Rivero is saying "THE METHOD WORKS". According to Rivero, it seems treating ANY crime is just a matter of employing the methods USA uses to attack Al Qaida: designate them enemy combatants - remove all their legal rights including constitutional ones (!) - bang them up in some hell-hole in solitary confinement and sensory deprivation - torture them - AND BINGO - no crime.

So what principles could Rivero EVER employ to dispute the legal, moral/ethical framework of american despotism? None - he supports it - he says IT WORKS!.

He's as happy as Cheney to shred the constitution - he just has different targets.

Rivero inhabits a wholly unprincipled position. Maybe he thinks he is just being "funny"?

Pretty dreadful humour if that's what it is?

I used to think WRH was brilliant - it's been my main single source for stories since Jan 2002. But I feel almost completely disillusioned - having been feeling increasingly so over the last two years or so.

I'm left-wing - WTF was I doing reading all that stuff!!?? lol - So I understand something of the disillusionment thing. :)

Mike Rivero Exposed
dc.indymedia.org/newswire/display/42317

No retraction or correction has ever been for any of these statements. Perhaps it's due in large perhaps to Michael Rivero's conspiratorial pedigree. Long before whatreallyhappened, Michael Rivero gained national exposure for his part in the TWA Flight 800 controversy. Yet earlier still was he found himself corroborating with a secretive American military group, the Special Forces Underground. Led by Green Beret Steven Barry who claims to have commanded the secretive elite forces group since 1992, he also served as editor of the quarterly newsletter, The Resister. Typical commentary sanctioned a white supremacist agenda; "The United States military was created by white men for white men to defend a white nation. It wasn't designed as a multicultural, diverse, touchy-feely, huggy-snuggly social experiment in race relations. ... Twenty years ago, you could trust a black to do a job. Now it' s questionable."

Volume I, Number 2. Autumn 1994. Boxholder, P.O. Box 1403, Addison, Texas, 75001 (Price) GRATIS

. . . AN OPEN LETTER TO OUR READERS

The RESISTER is a response to the altruistic cannibalism which is consuming the principle of inalienable individual rights upon which this nation was founded and which have been served-up in sacrifice to the mob god of democracy, the minority god of tribalism, the nature god of environmentalism, the slave god of collectivism, and the statist god of socialism.

Do you want to know who we are? We are the individuals who conceive the ideas the cretinous mob calls "the team effort." We are the individuals whose excellence is subverted by the racist policy of "equal opportunity." We are the independent, innovative, and creative who have been enslaved to serve the "greater good." Without us you would still be prying roots out of ground with a pointed stick.

More Fascism from WRH

New postby may41970 on Fri Aug 31, 2007 10:34 am

This was in Mike's readers' letters for today. No comments from Mike.


Forgive me for ranting...I'm sick and tired of people being punished for criticizing Israel, and, or, the 2.4% of the US population known as the Jews. Why should 2.4% of the population control the rest of us? Of course I don't mean all Jews, but that small number of them that seem to control just about everything. It's time to speak up and not be afraid of being rebuked. We've been brainwashed into thinking anything said against the Jews is "verboten". Wake up!!!


Try reading this again, but replace the word "Jew" with "Black" or "Muslim" or "Homosexual"

I think when these people and websites get so exposed, they just figure oh well, we are so busted, might as well do what we have been exposed for anyway. Like you said elsewhere, may41970, most people don't have the time or attention span to go into stuff in-depth. So, e.g., they can get suckered into thinking a Ron Paul is a worthy candidate. They don't realize that behind the astroturfing is a lot of racism and other bullshit.

So when I used the word zionists above, I should have clarified that I meant those fascist Israeli forces who are against the Palestinians' equal rights to self-determination...

If someone believes that Israel is an illegal nation, then they have it all wrong...


There's some ambiguity in that statement. The present day state of Israel is a racist state similar to the old Jim Crow states. Furthermore, any investigation into the original Zionism of Theodor Herzl will confirm that the intent was always to found a racist "Jews Only!" state. That much is part and parcel of the original definition of Zionism. Within the USA we can still have cases like Leonard Peltier or Mumia Abu Jamal, but as far as the formal overt legal structure is concerned there is no distinction between a black man like Colin Powell and a white man. In Israel it is different, the legal structure is overtly racist. I won't pretend to defend every statement which you may have encountered from other people on other forums elsewhere, since there's no way of me controlling what other people may have said on top of just these simple facts. But for the purposes of clarity one should distinguish between possible interpretations that people may give to the words "Israel has a fundamental right to exist." If by "Israel" we mean the racist colonial state which Herzl had originally envisioned and which came into being in 1948, then, no, such a state does not have the right to exist. If we mean something else by the word "Israel" then that should be better clarified. Particularly at a time when the Washington funds that racist state to the tune of some 3.5+ billlion dollars annually, there is a need for clarity on such points.

This small forum sure seems to be attracting the infiltrators. I thought when PatrickSMcNally and Banta showed up from BreakForNews, they would have some insights to share about Steven Hertzberg/"Navari." They did sign up immediately after I started a thread at BFN on Hertzberg.

By the way, I am done with BFN, will never post or view there again. That place simply cannot be trusted. I would not be surprised if there is widespread manipulation going on with posts and threads.

When McNally finally got around to making a post, it had nothing to do with Steven Hertzberg of ESI. Before seeing this mumbo jumbo from above, I had taken a look at his BFN profile and a few of his posts. I noticed he was from Ireland. From the few things read, I saw nothing wrong. Maybe it was a bit wordy, but there were no red flags, and I simply do not run around the net making huge background checks on newbies. Yeah, I have caught a few immediately before they even made one post, but I thought PatrickSMcNally was here to talk about Hertzberg.

Then when I first read his post, the quoted sentence caught my eye, even more so than his hatred of "zionists."

Within the USA we...


Er, uhm, why would an Irishman refer to the US as "we?"

I traced his ip address, and Florida appeared. His ip address is from level3.net. I went back to his profile at BFN and it had been scrubbed clean. Great. It's as if these fockers want me running around in circles wasting time on them. This one won't take too long.

In short, this creep turns out to be a holocaust denier and perhaps worse. Such cretins are gonna have to do a lot better than this if they expect to stay here for any substantial length of time.

Personally, I see that his ip comes directly from level3.net, and that in itself doesn't give me much confidence that this is just an ordinary troll.


I am just gonna put up a few links to show clearly why this scumbag needed to be banned. The fact that so many of these types are trying to damage this place shows that we have been successful on many fronts, and thusly, that this place has made a strong case for the fact that chemtrails are real.

# PatrickSMcNally Says:

The Hollow-co$t has always rested upon a fundamental logical fallacy which requires that huge numbers of bodies be cremated very swiftly in an exceedingly short period of time. Depending upon which book one picks up, it is possible to find versions which claim that 4700, 6000, 10000, and even 42000 bodies were cremated within a single day at Auschwitz. The maximum number of functioning cremation muffles which Auschwitz had running together at any one time was 46. This means that we are asserting that something on the order of 102 or more bodies were cremated within a single day at Auschwitz. That already is implying the consumption of 4 or more bodies within a single hour at a single muffle at Auschwitz. But it doubles to 8 or more per hour when we take into account the records from Auschwitz which indicate a 12-hour operating schedule (even machines need to rest now and then). This puts us in a domain where the Holocaust Industry’s forensic description of Auschwitz in operational mode is simply technologically impossible.





Submitted by PatrickSMcNally on 10/18/2006

You obviously let "Shalom" off the hook when he goes rambling about the Inquisition which happened centuries ago and has absolutely no relevance to the present day. However between 911, the Iraqi invasion, the Israel lobby and Hoaxoco$t of 60 years ago the connections are very strong. Furthermore, both 911 and the Hoaxoco$t rest upon claims which are scientifically untenable, and both are pushed by many of the same people. One doesn't have to have any liking for the Catholic Church or the Ku Klux Klan in order to realize that AIPAC lobbyists have played a much more pertinent role in pushing the Iraq war through. So why do you give "Shalom" a free pass for making comments which really are a diversion? The myth of the WTC Towers knocked over by jet-planes will stand or fall along with the myth of Auschwitz magically disposing of multiple thousands of bodies in a single day. Both lies are scientifically odd and both are strongly supported by the same people.



Wow, check out this next one from BFN before Fintan Dunne has the cache deleted or he rewrites the posts, mine included. I actually called PatrickSMcNally out for being a holocaust denier but then forgot that he was the specific expletive deleted. Keep in mind that this was the breakthrough thread on Steven Hertzberg, where the deleted story was revived, and now the story HAS been told.

I'd rank it as more serious, if only just because (as you once pointed out) no one has been kidnapped and shuffled off to prison on charges of 911-denial just yet. There is no push to set up 911-denial laws banning people from questioning in public what occurred that day. Instead we have so many 911-truth movements pouring over us that we have to make guesses as to how many are fake. That has some negative features to it, but it's a lot better than having laws passed which make it possible to kidnap people and send them to prison for questioning the official 911 story.

It'd be nice if the holocaust deniers would stop trying to derail this thread.




Finally, here is a link which claims PatrickSMcNally is a notorious internet troll. If so, I wonder how much he gets paid, and how he can live with himself being such an evil bastard. So, is this shithead a troll or a disinfo agent?




The David Sharp FAQ

{excerpts}
David L. Sharp is an internet character/troll that has haunted the rec.music.beatles and alt.assassination.jfk newsgroups for several years. He has written several "books" outlining his bizarre conspiracy theories regarding the murders of JFK and John Lennon. He was born in May 1955 and currently believed to be residing in Gaithersburg, (North Potomac) Maryland.

The Jews

David is a rabid anti-Semite and holocaust denier. He claims the Jews planned in advance and brought about the Tsunami in the Philippines in 2004 by detonating a nuclear bomb in the ocean. Most curious is David's theory that the purpose of the media in using the word "Tsunami" to describe the tidal wave was to confuse people into thinking Tsunami is the name of a small country.

Persecution by the CIA, FBI et al.

Critics of his theories are often labeled CIA or FBI agents and subject to harassment and scurrilous accusations. He routinely sets up web pages to libel his critics and will include personal information and photographs without regard for their privacy. David often plays both sides of the fence, both as the persecutor and victim. He will also on occasion inexplicably accuse someone who is critical of him of making "death threats" against him.

Homophobia

David has on many occasions demonstrated a predilection towards homophobia and an obsession with J. Edgar Hoover's alleged transvestite activities. It seems he believes that slandering J. Edgar Hoover infuriates all the "FBI infiltrators" in RMB. He claims these people are paid by the CIA or FBI to monitor the rec.music.beatles newsgroup and debunk his theories.

Sock Puppets

When you are David Sharp you have to get publicity for your "books" somehow. David does it by joining various internet venues (using an assumed name) and asking if anyone has ever read this great book (his own). David's propensity for creating sock puppets to converse and agree with himself is well documented. He has also encouraged others to create them in order to both support him and denounce his critics....



Q: What are some of David Sharp's aliases?

"Cropdustersal"
"Salvador Astucia"

"silentcoupsal"
"PatrickSMcNally"
"ODG"
"Oliver D Greene"
"DC Dave"
"David Martin"

"chitlins con carny"
"Bill Gates"

"Maximillian"
"John Bruno"

This list is by no means exhaustive. Anyone interested in knowing more about David Sharp can simply enter one of his aliases in a Google Groups search. It will turn up a plethora of fascinating articles. This link will get you started.....



He is currently posing as a rational sane person (deep undercover) on alt.assassination.jfk using the address dsharpness@yahoo.com . It is a moderated newsgroup so if he tries to post his Nazi nonsense it never gets past the moderators.

Q: Is this a hate page?

No, not at all. Although I find David's anti-Semitism reprehensible, I bear no personal hate towards the man. But I believe it is important that the David Sharps of this world be exposed for who they are, and held accountable.

In Conclusion

He can dig up interesting facts on occasion but his methodology is the epitome of junk. It is tainted by his refusal to abandon his original theory when the facts point elsewhere. His reasoning and judgment are seriously flawed.

Much to David's dismay he is dismissed for the fool that he is by virtually all serious researchers once he makes his crackpot theories known. Instead of reconsidering the validity of his theories he will launch personal vendettas against the very people who's respect he covets. The common thread that connects his theories is that they all ultimately point to his beliefs in the "Protocols of Zion" and his own anti-Semitic views.


If you have further information about David Sharp you can email the webmaster at: smartypants@nyc.rr.com



Maybe I should send an email to mr. smartypants, see if this holocaust denier here is the same guy, and how this was proven. I'm thinking this is beyond being some nutjob troll but is more likely a "Navari"/Hertzberg type, that there is just a bit too much crap being circulated to be from a lone troll wingnut.

Well, you're definitely convincing me more of the level of corruption going on.

I never would have thought it was actually WORSE than I thought, since I've always thought I was one of the more cynical people.

Down under level of the rabbit's hole, I suppose.

I thought when PatrickSMcNally and Banta showed up from BreakForNews, they would have some insights to share about Steven Hertzberg/"Navari."


I'll share what I can when I get it, but really, I'm just learning this all too. Once again, glad to be here though.

The fact that someone would even need to infiltrate this tiny group speaks volumes, I think.

What better word is there for all this than convolution? Did you notice that thread I started at BFN gets no action? Our place has about a 50-50 ratio of fakes to real people. Out of 15 members, seven have been trolls. One of the reasons I activated your account so quickly was because I noticed you had an interest in Navari as Steven Hertzberg. I don't blame anyone for being confused about a lot of the stuff I post. It can be draining for me too.

If one engine searches this story, guess what they are led to believe? One ends up reading that it was Fintan Dunne who exposed Steven Hertzberg.

Fintan Dunne Investigating Steven Hertzberg of Election Science Institute and Ron Paul Online?

There's no mention of "StevenStevenSteven." There is only talk of the one Ron Paul website.

This is a big rabbit hole. Most important to me is that Hertzberg should be held accountable for his part in the covering up of the 2004 election fraud. He's a scumbag who's ripe for an investigation. He is part of the thought police and is basically a treasonous focker and a fascist pig for protecting the illegality of GW Bush as President.

Not to freak you out, but McSpooky is near your area. But while your connection is with a familiar sounding company offering internet services, this recently banned nazi gets his internet provided by level3.net.


Yeah, it's more convoluted than you thought, imho. But myself and may41970 only arrived at this realisation after some years being involved with the forums. At least Bev Harris now knows about Hertzberg. I even let Dr. Peter Rost in on it. The word is getting around despite the internet corruption.


The few of us here are just trying to be ourselves and present our stuff as logically as possible. And if others chip in with some clarity, just to let the other know that they have been heard, then this ain't such a bad place after all.
