Antoinette, why you giving Obama a free ride? You like that he's pro spying, giving away money to rich people, and not prosecuting war crimes? Why are we still in Iraq? Did you hear about the plans for geoengineering? If you're not careful, this place will simply become a caricature of what Dave was about.
Dave was for more and better Democrats, not just attacking easy targets like Hannity, Coulter, Levin, and Limbaugh. If you want this website to grow, you need to also hold fake progressives to the fire. Otherwise, you're just reinventing the wheel and holding up a system which does not encourage thinking outside the box nor democracy. Reply to this

dave was pro Obama. He was a democrat and politically astute. Remember, he wasnt part of the rabble at FSZ.

Rhymes with DaddyMac.
To me, what is interesting about the Tea Parties is what they symbolize now as much as in the 18th century, or wtf:
neocon revolt.
Revolt in this country is unlikely but its potential is nil from the left, whose futility is neatly summed up by the reaction to the fizzle on Wall Street Rally of 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4. Whenever the fuck it was sposse d to be held.
The first reule for the revolutionary:
get the place, date and time correct.
RIOTOUS!
Reule #2: dont smoke that second jay before heading out to the confrontation.
And in closing, thanks Sock Rat for exposing my fine work at MLW. I snuck a peak and was surprised to see Mrs. Mudgette calling me a "paranoid hullicenogen" or wtf. Well, I spose she's wright, in the final analysis.
And, uh, take it from a historic troll. There is a process that must be followed in getting banned. You just down throw down some wek schtick about cutting the military budget and demand the comment be deleted and you be banned. Sheesh, man, if that was easy everybody would be banned.
What? You think Jesus just went up and got in Pilate's face and told him to off him?
No sirree. He had go to through some shit first, y'know, betrayals/denials/kkkrewing cocks, or wtf.
OK and I read up on Francis' site about your good work in that DKOS dairy. Very impressive. Especially the gratuitous swipe at FSZ.
Finally, in an even greater waste of time, I googked "Brett Kimberlin" who seems to claim he once sold some weed to dan fucking Quayle no less? I remember that one. Good prank but how is he connected to the Whiteysphere, and how is Larisa Androvna a fake righty again?
See, here I am spilling my gutz as usual, and you simply throw out these names with the charge of astroturff but you seem to assume we know the back story, when we dont.
And I still cant see how to make comments or open a forum on your site. Like, what fucking button do I click on? Or is DOS or wtf?

Hey, we were all Obama-bots, when we had to be. John McCain would have been much worse. But now that he's in, we need to hold the guy's feet to the fire.
While I see merit in going after neocon nutjobs, if we don't also go after the right wing of the Democratic Party, what is the point?
A huge reduction in the military would solve everything. The beauty of that proposal is in its simplicity. The strongest America would be a prosperous one with renewable energies, health care, education, shelter, and fair play for all. Gerry Brown said we could save the environment while creating jobs. The status quo is not our friend. I believe that Obama needs to be pushed left, or else he will be blamed for the malaise in 2012, and we'll be getting a Republican President. Can't you see that? If both parties are the same, or very similar on all the big issues concerning life, death, economics, etc., they'll just keep flip flopping good cop and bad cop. Reply to this
It seems pretty clear that Obama was born an American citizen.
Antoinette, you say the radical right is the real threat to America. But isn't the fact that lefties, peaceniks, and real progressives are being marginalised the big problem?
Everyone can see how nuts the far right is. But can't you see how far right the Democrats have gone? Shouldn't that be addressed?
Mike Gravel would have been a good choice for President. That he had no chance of winning, that right wing Democrats like Obama and Hillary were the only real choices, to me, speaks to the fact that the far right wing cannot possibly be the real threat. The threat can be found in the corporate and military status quo. That is where the redistribution of wealth needs to take place. Why should anyone believe in Democrats versus Republicans mythology anymore? The Democrats are clearly the lesser of two evils. But evil they remain.
Why isn't the Obama Administration going after the war criminals? If you want to stop illegal wars, you need to prosecute those who were involved. Reply to this
DT I know you listed some sites you might be found out but I couldnt kkkrack the kkkode. I enjoy your observations and would hate not to have them as I have my kkkoffe on Sat morn.
I also wanted to post a defense of sockrattease. His original chemtrail diary is the perfect example of the gang banging. It was like being at Kos the way people just showed up to attack him and put down his topic.
NE guesses on who LIO and hidden comment are? The strident, condescending attitudes sound familiar but I am usually no good at socks.
I wouldnt be 1/2 surprised if it was MBNYC and friendz.

Hey Antoinette, I hope all is well. I sincerely want to follow your rules. The problem is we don't have a free thread to go to with the meta chatter.
I've tried a few times to interact with your posts. I did it here. I did it on the Coulter/abortion thread. I got zero feedback.
That's not a problem. Blogging get be lonely. There's never a guarantee of feedback.
But we could really use an open thread or two a week. One could be totally open, the other could be like a Beat the Blogosphere thread. We have this show in Boston called Beat the Press. It's put together by Emily Rooney, Andy's daughter. We could just substitute blogosphere for press.
I'm checking out some of Dave's older posts. He wanted to devote a day a week to Daily Kos type stuff. He listed sports. He even wanted to give a free speech day for the conspiracy theorists. Dave was definitely a people person. He was starting to understand how anti-democratic the internet has become.
There's great potential here. If you could just throw us out some crumbs.
To the new person, please do not refer to me as a sock rat. I do not troll and do not use sock puppets. This is also not the proper thread to be talking about the meta. Hence, I've asked Antoinette if she could hook us up with an open thread a week.
By the way, it was my "election integrity" stuff that triggered the immediate attacks on me at DKos and then FSZ. Later on I was able to link Fingerit to that disinfo crowd.
I'm not one to shove the "weather mitigation" topic into anyone's face.
Antoinette, MSOC of MyLeftWing has come out with a diary praising Obama. It's the same generic Democratic Underground/Daily Kos herd think where we need to accept that America is right of center, that anyone critical of Obama and our country's direction is out of line.
So how 'bout it Antoinette? Isn't the blind support for Obama misplaced? Where has that gumption gone where people were able to force the end to the Vietnam War? I think it's bad enough that true lefties, peaceniks and progressives have been ostracized. The worst part is to see how people like Moulitsas and O'Connor continually represent themselves as being the left.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Reply to this

Just got in and scanned the NYT to see whats what with the tea parties, and they seem to be as much a nonstarter as the "great peoples rally of 4/2 and/or 4/3 or 4/4, or wtf" that also fizzled.
People are still trying to figure out where they are in relation to this "historic 2nd great depression" mess, which like seemingly everything here in the oughts is hyper hyped out of all proportion to reality, for whatever reason or purpose.
O'Bama, of course has a perfect reason to hype it, much as Bush did the fear engendered on 9/11.
Of course, O'bama is not a one noter like Bush, and he has lately begun to pull his rhetoric back from the brink, as is necessary to instill some feeling amongst the people that is not optimism exactly, but also not we are partying like its 1933.
So, what does the lack of overt rebellion from either right or left tell us about this modern age we are all passing through?
One, is that people like O'Bama. Sure, the tea partiers hate him and so do their only tinily teenily slightly more enlightened first cousins, the whiteysphere, but look at the numbers. These two groups represent zilch. The vast majority of people are going to give the guy a chance.
Bet on it.
And why? Well, because he is young, smart, articulate and handsome. Or, alternatively, because the vast majority of people are daft with no reason for living except to befoul the environment.
So what? Either way, Obama's getting the same chance that they all get, and then some, especiaslly when they are young, smart and handsome.
It appears the grim economic outlook has brightened, even if its merely a false spring. Still, this may be exactly the type of recession many predicted for the infoboob years:
sharp, short, with the negative effects exarcebating and feeding the quick, steep descent, the result of the information hysteria unique to our dubious age. Reply to this

The first I saw of this stuff was here with Antoinette's blogging. Now all of a sudden it's everywhere. Divide and conquer 101? Limited hangout? Not Antoinette.
I agree with you donkeytale on many levels.
*** Obama is clever to string it along. The first thing GW did was talk down the economy which lowered the expectations. GW wanted folks to think that the recession was inevitable due to Clinton's economics. GW and Co. then placated the masses with the lower interest rates and refinance boom. I'm fairly sure the ptb's are not gonna allow us to slip into a depression. They do not want riots. They are pro-status quo.
*** It boils down to that the world is economically interlocked. If one part is hurting, it's felt many thousands of miles away. That means status quo rules. China cannot afford for the US market to crumble. They are as much blackmailed by the US to buy the damn treasury notes as the US is dependent to let their human right and environmental violations slide.
I've been living poor for the last few months. One learns a lot through that. Each meal is savoured. One figures out how to buy rice, fruits, vegetables, you know, the staples. Like pasta. Man, there's so much more to live than running around in these rich, handsome, fake circles. The obvious solution is to drastically reduce the military. The rightwingers love to say that Ronald Reagan brought down the communist empire. But it was simply a matter of the Ruskies realising they had to cut back on the military, because they were broke. If I'm wrong on that, I'd love to hear other explanations.
I think the problem is too much is dependent on the military-industrial complex and wars. It seems rather simple to me. Terrorism needs to be treated as crime. War needs to be abolished.
{off=topic: Hey, I'm gonna email you, if your email at my forum is working. There's a "revenge of donkeytale" essay at MLW you might want to check out.
I'm done fighting these people on their own turf. Maybe I'll even take HowardX's advice and write a blog entry on sports or the friggen weather.
I caught Jack's Smirking Revenge in another lie concerning Dave. I went to CometMan's blog and Jack was there claiming how Dave liked him so much. But we know the proof. You must be aware of the entry Dave made here giving you kudos for confronting Jack. Dave even said that somehow he was grateful to Jack in a strange way for his gangsta thing, where he acted like a coward with no principles and morals.
It's also clear as lemonade that MLW is no real outlet. She used to have Armando and the mysoginist ThereIsNoSpoon with full editorial powers. I'm sorry I got all meta all the time. That's really not me. I know you probably feel like it's a been there, done that. There is certainly a burnout factor for anyone who goes down that route.

This response fairly rushed, but it applies also to Bitter Harpies' comment above.
I wont be posting anymore at FSZ> Whats the point? Everything I have prophecied about the whiteysphere (and then some) has been revealed. There is little I could add at this point. I know this will be construed as I chickened out, or was driven off the site (there will be a flurry of loosers trying to grab credit for that) but the fact is, its all there, for anyone with eyes to see.
For those caught up in the imbroglio, especially on the side of intolerance, well, we already know they have no eyes and even if I could restore their site, they would refuse to see. They revel in intolerance and blindness.
So whats the point?
I like this blog. I dont care if we are "hijacking" the threads. If Antoinette wants to ban me or you, or wtf, so be it.
I can feel the spirit of dave lurking here, and of course I remember that he gave me props on more than one occasion for truth telling. dave existed on a separate plane, with an expansive sense of wright and wong beyond the normal limitations, thats why he got me and the others didnt get him and never get me.
I've been working all week and was waiting for today or tomorrow to go back in and wade thru all the BS at FSZ, but now its Friday, I'm still buried in paperwork, so I'll just say this:
the whiteysphere reveals itself. It is not pretty. Its pretty ugly, in fact.
The one dairy of interest that was posted soon after MattyJacks latest little "joke", this time terming it "donkeytale-style" a label which is clearly false, and just another attempt to make me the scapegoat, was the dairy Alec put up soon after. And I guess Alec left for good at that point? And Beach and Vox, too? Alec was growing on the job there, unlike the other kos kops, who were shrinking.
Smart guy, no wonder he gave up.
I know the standard response to this is, c'mon, Matty Jack's just a kid, he's gonna screw up or else its "if you dont like it here start your own blah, blah, blog" but remember, I gave him a chance when he banned me and made up fibs in Nov, his fibs responsible for humiliating Sabrina (with her meltdown "stalking" charges against me), I gave him a second chance after he banned dave. I gave him a third chance after he tried to grab some or all of the credit for the UGOG bannings by MAMZ, I gave him enuff chances to act like a man. Since the comment deleting spisode, he went hysterical, again never owning his BS, but pushing his entire blog to the meltdown point with his latest "donkeytale-style" joke. Four strikes and yur out, regardless.
I like it here. I'm not posting much, not trying to be offensive, staying true to dave's own style, in fact. If she wanst us to move on, she can come and say so. If she stays silent, as she has, then I am guessing we have tacit approval to remain.
I do feel badly for Melvin, who was completely tricked fucked by Matty Jacks latest two games, altho he blames me, natch Reply to this
Melvin revealed his inner "Ernst Roehm" during his meltdown over Matty's ridiculous attacks againt me, you and n00m after he got caught lying again (the lies confirmed by pager, of all people---she viewed MattyJack's comment before it was deleted and termed it " a tad sketchy on the facts" and wished for MattyJack to come clean on this point also) and called for bannings.
Then he stalked off angrily when MattyJack didnt take his advice (but pretended too), stayed away for a week, and only returned during MattyJack's "donkeytale-style" "joke" dairy. Melvin was re-inflamed at that point for a couple daze, even after MattyJack "explained" his "joke".
Now he's one of the missing and presumed dead. I'm sure he blames me, because to admit that he was trickfucked and manipulated by MattyJack's little game-playing would be too much for him to bear at this stage.
I hope he seeks help for his anger and intolerance of the "whackjobs" (which being gay and a whackjob himself, you would think he might already possess some understanding).
Melvin reminds me of the old skkkool gayz, circa "the boyz in the Band" the self hating, self destructive stereotype. Sort of the antithesis of 4kdtongue's relaxed, at home in his own skin homosexuality.
Melvin, if you are reading this, or commentman (who I know is reading this) please let Melvin know I am concerned about him. And that he made the wright choice dumping Mattyjack, even if he thinks he is dumping me and my fellow trollz. Sometimes, when you are lucky, illusions can save lives. Generally, they are death in life bringing, but for basket cases, illusions often can be the only salvation, when the truth is a self bludgeoning device.
Someday, Melvin, hopefully, you will find some time to reflect and come to a more mature understanding of yourself, which willlead you to viewing "others" more tolerantly. Reply to this

I didn't read much at FSZ. I liked abbeysbooks and donkeytale. I was into my diaries. I liked reading the archives to catch up on the meta that hadn't been scrubbed.
So Jack basically banned a guy for expressing his freedom of speech at a free speech zone. Otherwise, Lauren S had broken this "unwritten rule" all the time. The rules were nothing illegal, no spamming, and no pedophilia. Maybe the place was meant to be something else, to grow, but with Dave's expose on it, then the follow-up by myself and DonkeyTale, the decision was made to pull the plug. Now it is just another soapblox domain. Whatever Peeder had accomplished is now deleted and destroyed, if in fact anything at all real had ever been accomplished with the Political Flesh Feast. I doubt that PFF actually meant anything. Otherwise, I doubt Peeder would have deleted the domain. Maybe others have different opinions.

The big picture is what counts most. Political consultants/lawyers are all over DKos. Dave figured out the key players and tied them to the top of the DKos foodchain.
I, too, think it's admirable to try to carry on Dave's vision. I think he would have toned down the meta over time. Maybe if Jack and FSZ hadn't used him for their own agendas, he would've wrapped things up a lot sooner.
I miss that dude. I would have loved to talk some sports with him. I don't think it's macabre to post the available videos of him showing how decent a guy he was. I don't think it's macabre to highlight his blogging career. It was extra cool what he did to Hannity, Lieberman and others. His writing was very good. It is a darn shame that DKos couldn't just let a big tent develop. It really makes me wonder about Kos' cia connections and the other stuff along with his support for KosKops. With Armando, ThereIsNoSpoon, Dana Houle, and so many others, I am grateful I never got into DKos for an extended period of time. It is very important that Dave's story, and all others such as Francis', Marisacat's, DT's, mine- there are too many of us to list... I simply feel that the story has been figured out.

Let them come hear if they want. If they don't want, let them go somewhere else.
I have to be really honest with you here, sockrat: my role in these events is finished. The story has been written. It is etched on FSZ, at least until it gets deleted. It now wrights itslef without me.
But hereis what I wanted to say to you, confidentially:
everything is connected in a circle. Everything and everybody. The circle rolls continuously from top to bottom and back around again. It is never ending.
And everything in that circle, the people, the non people, the trollz, the kos kops, and everythng else, needs everything and everybody else within that circle.
Its not a conditional need. Its not a need with motive. Its more basic than that. We need the connection. The winners need the looosers. The loooooosers need the wiineners. Both. Equally. Admin needs the trollz, the regular people need the whackjobs, and vice versa.
When the connection is unnaturally severed is when you have real issues and problems.
This means that a condition of life is that we must connect with lotsa stuff we dont like, stuff we despise and stuff we fear. We must connect with people who are brilliant and diabolical, who are stupid and lucky, who are rich for no reason and most of all, those who are undeservedly poor.
Circular connections exist multitudinously, and are ever more creatable in the infoboob years. overlapping.
The circle has been broken unnaturally at FSZ. This is not a positive development for a number of reasons and doesnt bode well psychically for those who either gleefully or unwittingly swung the wrekkking ball.

This is why I love the Whiteysphere!
My guess is that Mattyjack, having already shredded whatever bits of false credibility he has remaining, will now go out in a crescendo of "glory" in an attempt to forever discredit the Byrons, the sockrats, the donkkkeyturds, et al, whom he blames for his troubles.
Who knows whats really going on? Maybe he's havings econd thots on the whole marriage thing?

OK, I'll talk some sports with you. I was a pretty fair baseball player as a kid, playing the hotly competitive youth leagues of SoCal in the 60s. I started on the varsity squad during my juniour year in high skkkkool but then lost my eligibity to play as senior becuase I stopped attending class.
But what I mot remember was my sophomore year, not so much because I led the JV team in batting but because of our coach, Coach Simonian.
He wasnt really a baseball guy at all, but had been hired primarily as an asst. coach for varsity football. All the coachs were assigned one team at one level for all the other sports seasons.
Coach Simonian was a dark, hairy, powerfully built little Armenian with a hilariously incongruent high pitched voice. He would saunter through the locker room after every game, win or lose, in his jockstrap while the players showered, patting fannies and offering encouragement---this bantam gorilla with his soprano voice...and man, that dude could part the hair all the way down his back, if you know what I mean. What a site!
Bottom line, I had a great year that year, and was awarded "Player of the Year" after the season....and all I can remember now is "Coach Simian" after the game in his jock.
I was watching the Celtics lose. I was also at my forum writing the same exact thing at my place before reading the new FSZ threads or much of the other stuff. Yes, a lot of shit is happening in real time. I definitely saw how Jack co-opted my ideas. I'm seeing it all. It's gonna take a bit of time for everything to come out in the wash. I do feel vindicated. I have been talking about this kind of thing for over three years. I first sensed it going on at Huffington Post when the Plame thing was going on.
I haven't even finished reading through this one post of yours, just saw your words that my stuff had been co-opted. Yes it has. I'm not buying what's being sold. My initial impression is that this new MattyJack shit is all smokes and mirrors. My gut instinct remains that he is part of the UGOGs, some form of controlled opposition, and that Dave got in the way, then I did, and you supported my rights, as I you, and lately we've been a good team. But please, cut the shit with that sock rat name. I'm not gonna put up with it. Reply to this
Listen, my real name was revealed by my cyberstalker at a mutual forum and then later deleted by the admins. I am planning on filing a police report on that dude. I understand the real life stakes of all of this.
I hope to God Antoinette cuts us some slack and sees the importance of letting our posts through. This is not thread jacking. I'll friggen mail her my college transcripts, if she wants them.
I have a masters in Sociology. Jack is full of it. This whole thing reeks of being made up. Did you see where Jack wrote of political consultants and lawyers? That's what I've been talking about. But he didn't attribute that to me.
Yes, this whole garbage game is about making us look like historic trolls. It's all about covering up the Armando's, the Fingerits, the Bouldins, the Mary Scott O'Connors, the ThereIsNoSpoons, how 'bout the Olbermann dude who keeps posting there?
Ugh, I'm flabbergasted that this asshole, whoever he is, made Dave's final months so much more difficult. If Dave died of natural causes, kind of an if in mine and other's eyes, then at a minimum these creeps added to his stress, especially this Jack's Smirking Chimp. Being ostracised and cybersmeared/ganged is no picnic. I've been through that. I can prove I've been through that. So please, just stop it with calling me sock rat. I do not use sock puppets and I am not a troll. I am a well-educated dude who by luck or whatever ended up on the internet a lot. My last attempts at making it as a blogger was as BradBlog. I know how hurt Dave was from DKos, because I went through the same kind of thing. I exposed an apparent political operative named Steven Hertzberg involved with the election integrity movement. BradBlog ignored my findings. Oh man, I am done trying to prove myself to anyone.
Then I became a player when I shone a bright light on Brett Kimberlin and his ties to that same movement. A well-known freelance reporter said I became a player. I spoke with that dude for two hours about how corrupt the internet is.

Uh, maybe you want to go back and updae you "whackerjobby" dairy series, looser.
It'll give you something to do while you await further instructions from MattyJack. Reply to this

The first quote in the comment above was from a comment on FSZ by my attorney, M. Supersoling, esq.
The lack of attribution was a technical error for which the editor apologizes. Reply to this

Yeah, but why did supersoling make me out to be Satan's love child with Ann Coulter rather than Reese Witherspoon when I first arrived at MyLeftWing? I tried to reason with that guy for why I was going on about the election integrity or lack of it. All I got were Lauren S responses. I want a full apology from that guy. Otherwise, he reeks like a concern troll.
As for CometMan, he has been a big supporter of Velvet Revolution co-founded by BradBlog and the Speedway Bomber and has been attacking me non-stop with ad hominems. See that sig line of his you posted? That was what I wrote. It concerns the Clint Curtis hoax. One of those things involving for instance AnonymousArmy {Number5?} who debunked it. Supersoling asked me for a link to a Booman thread on it. I found it, yet instead of responding to my efforts, I really didn't hear from him until he attacked me at MLW when I first arrived there.
CometMan, he's from Maine. I don't know what to think of him. Maybe some folks have bought the Alexandrovna kool-aid and don't want to believe she could be affiliated with con artists.
The other day, there was a deleted FSZ thread I wanted to try to find via the wayback machine. It was an old one, past six months, the time it takes for archive.org to do its thing. The message was that there was a robots text block on access put by the domain's administrator. MattyJack is gonna delete that whole place, or he's gonna make sure nothing will show up that he and the people he works for doesn't want to be seen. He can delete our individual posts. I think he can even request search engine caches to be deleted. I had a huge thread at Democratic Underground exposing Brett Kimberlin. DU deleted the whole thing. That was why I went to DKos. Dude, I am for real. Reply to this

Get hold of yurslef here, sock rat. Thats just an affectionate nickname, BTW.
Supersoling admitted he was wrong and you were wright. You cant ever expect these types of people, any of them, including the vox humanas and the supersolings, who are truly in the wright place, to ever come out and fully admit that you were wright.
People require illusions in order to survive this horrible poker hand called life.
There are only a few who truly get it, consistently. Like, ahem...y'know....
And you think after heaping "99"s and abuse for daze, weeks, months and years, the looooosers who have been had by Mattyjack will ever stop and say, "y'know, donkkkkeyturd was wright, after all, wasnt he?"
Course not. So you should see supersolings stating the fact as a huge victory for the ruth over illusion.
As for vox, never forget that he is a christian. What is a "christian?" That is someone who tries to co-opt Christ's message for his own purposes. Nobody can be like Christ, the christians say, so we just pay fealty to his name on Sunday, drop a few dollars in the plate, take communion and try to be as good as our fallen human natures will allow.
Vox came back two or three times after leaving, basically on technicalities.
Christianity is all about the technicalities, so his actions make sense in that context.
Now, you and I may say, he's being trickfucked and probably knows it, but yeah, he should just admit: he's got a blogging jones and he cant let go. Has nothing to do with wright or wong, good or eveil, God or Satan.
It has to do with Vox. Pyrriod.
Jesus, BTW, wasnt a "Christian."
Marx wasnt a "marxist."
Yes, I have already predicted that MattyJack will soon whitescreen the place, and with it will go all the hilarity of the herd animalz on the Animal Farm.
What choice does he have? He is caught in a classic commentman wienie trap, he's either admitted as a cointelpro (or amateur if you believe this is a college research project) or he's a liar. Several times over. He's left himself no other options, so whitescreen seems inevitable. The mustard is now being squirted on him from several directions at once, and one thing that I know is true about Mattyjack: he doesnt wike being the butt of the joke.
Especially when he deserves it.
Now, you should turn your research to "Pinche Tejao" AKA "Pinche Jotot."
Originally he came to PFF trumpeting that he had been banned (as "Fucking Texan") but was going to the next nites DKOS NYC meetup to do a bit of dave/yippie style protesting and tha he would wright it up on PFF the next day.
Well, next day comes and guess what. Pinche Joto had a charming dinner with the kossacks, who were, guess what, regular guyz!!!!RIOTOUS! No activism, no protest, no overturning the moneychangers dinner tables, nothing.
Now, in the past week, he's worked his cute little ass off trying to support Matty Jack while the latter works OT to sink the Titanic.
He's playing Herve Villechaize to MattyJack's Ricardo Montalban.
Remember the little gay hispanic midget on Fantasy Island?
Da plane, da plane!
Thats our Pinche Joto, captured in real time.
In the whiteysphere, on Mattyjack's Flea Screech Zone.
And theres more, sockrat. Pinche Joto also claims to have been the mastermind behind Ron Paul's online ATM machine during the 2008 REPUBLIKKKAN primaries and he admits to having worked in the past for Phil Gramm. Thats wright.
Phil Gramm.
The guy who did more than anyone to get Glass-Steagal repealed, primarily because his wife was a bigtime DC banking lobbyist.
So you might check into PJ's story while your at it, too.
He used to claim he was a troll, too, but now claims trollz are dead.
Still, that didnt stop this "dedicated follower of fashion" (great Kinks song)from trolling my dairy yesterday, did it? RIOTOUS!
"donkkkeyturd makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcom X" or wtf.
Wow. Chop me, low Pinche Joto!
OK. Here's one back at you, maricon:
"Pinche Joto makes Penelope Cruz look like John Wayne."
The punkd bitches in my cell block are more manly than MattyJack, commentman and Pinche Joto combined.
I know why these chickenshit whiteysphericos arent seriously pursuing prison reform-----they scared that those same punkd bitches will put it up their gay asses, too, once they are let out of prison.
That must be why Pinche Joto professed his fear of going to jail during the massive "Rally on Wall Street" that wasnt.
Put some lipstick on him and he would look absolutely ravishing to some dude in the cellblock doing 30 years for nothing except being poor.
And did Pinche Joto tell us that his family owns a big South Texas Ranch?
Dude, only very rich, very conservative people own South Texas Ranches. Bet on it.
The jobs with Paul and Gramm, two of the most conservative members in recent TX congressional history (and thats saying more than alot) makes sense, now, don't they? Reply to this

Hiya Donkster and everyone else. Thanks for your responses. I think what folks need to realise is, if they decide to delve into this stuff, they need to place comments in the given moments. If not, we can misconstrue someone's intent. If something doesn't add up, we needs to ask what was going on at that exact time.
I have been banned from MLW. I was given no warning. If they wanted me to tone done my language, I would have. For the record, they swarmed me with insults and bad words about my character. I went eye for an eye, so to speak.
One thing I am proud of is sticking up for Francis against KarmaStench and for getting in on confronting ThereIsNoSpoon and MSOC. MaryScott should not have dissed activists for wearing Mumia t-shirts, if you get my drift. Hey, kiss Obama's ass all you want. But don't write some kind of opus that sounds like it comes from a triangulation manual.
Hold Obama's feet to the fire. If you want him to win the second term, there is no other choice, imho. Or continue to isolate true progressives and peaceniks. Allow the Republicans the chance to win in 2012, unless you think Obama is playing like last year's Kevin Garnett {a bit of sports for HowadX}.
Obama needs to go F.D.R. style. He needs to emulate historical greatness. No one should be above the law. War criminals need to be held accountable. Fix the economy for the people, not the rich. Hey, it's like if you're friend is messing up, you give them constructive criticism.
I have a few questions. So do you think Jack's Smurfing Revenge, Eric S. at DKos, was the blogging curmudgeon? Or perhaps there is no way to know? I am very curious about this curmudgette. She was #3 at FSZ, meaning probably #2 because I think Mr. Soapblox is #1, not sure. Anyway, I smell something fishy about that whole thing. She says she tracked down curmudgeon's internet activities, that he was portraying himself as women and had tons of sock puppets, crazy allegations if true. She even said she called his office.
I don't understand why she doesn't reveal her real name. She blogs so much. She's not a "troll" like us. :) So why the secrecy? Plus, her husband is a marine? That doesn't sound copacetic.
By the way, please do not call me sock rat. I do not use sock puppets. And I guess I should also add that Eric S. denies being ShadowThief. And another thing, is ShadowThief definitely curmudgeon? And where did this curmudgeon go to? It's rare for bloggers to just go away like this. Maybe curmudgeon/curmudgette was as staged a brouhaha as Jack's gangsta thing from FSZ?

So Jack's Smirking Revenge is from Long Island. That is ironic. Dave seems to have gotten Fingerit's attention by going after certain Long Island rightwing arses named Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin.
Newbies should check out dfq's "Lessons of Long Island" diary at DKos. Also check out his series from many months before then to do with his adventures with Hannity's friend Mark Levin. I found it very obvious that Fingerit was running interference for rightwingers affiliated with Fox News.
Now, there is a poster at MLW named Phil I. Stine, and he appears to be a producer for Fox News. Hmmm. So Jack is from Long Island. I've always sensed since I delved into this stuff that FSZ has been a scripted opposition to the KosKops. I think Dave was headed in that direction also, if he wasn't already there. And I see how MSOC even used to read at Political Flesh Feast. The Fox producer is her good friend. Other good friends of hers appear to be political operatives who are pro-Daily Kos such as Karma Fish and "ThereIsNoRape if the woman is drunk"- wow.
I guess I feel like you DT, in that the stories kinda tell themselves. And even if there is wholesale deletions, scrubbings and prunings, enough of us have blabbered out our own interpretations to let folks know something is very fried with the blogosphere.
I feel good right now. I am hopeful. If two people like ourselves who have been targeted for ridicule and misrepresentation can find a way to get our messages out, then there will always be hope for the internet. Maybe I am a dreamer, but I won't steal a John Lennon tagline.

Uhm, maybe it all does come out in the wash? And thank God the reader decides.}

Jack is saying myself and donkeytale are operatives sent in to disrupt forums and stifle Dave's story. I don't know donkeytale other than from when we met each other at FSZ. If "Jack" was trying to quell the situation, he has made it a lot worse, imho.
I had a post ready to go here earlier, but there was a glitch or something and it kept going into comment moderation.
I believe the actions of soapblox big wigs are speaking for themselves. They have confirmed my suspicions that "Jack" is not who he seems. All indications are that he is some form of modern day cointelpro. Reply to this

I'll add one more thing, because it's four am and I need the shut-eye. Here is where Jack has messed up. How come a "crazy kook" all of a sudden becomes some ingenius political operative. I was reading through some of those FSZ threads. "Jack's" gangsta type voice is gone. His best bet would have been to just keep his mouth shut.
So why all this attention to what is being said here? I see only one logical explanation. I have two masters. I may be a bit goofy, but I have nailed this story. Since the reader decides, the decision has been made to not ignore me. So they get in these last pokes, vox humana and supersoling say whatever with none of it being grounded on reality, and then the whole thing gets pushed into the historic memory hole.
But seriously, how does a "kook" like me all of a sudden become a paid operative sent in to cover up Dave's story? The donkeytale angle I can see as plausible, especially with him continuing to call me a sock rat.
Whatever. I have notified all my media contacts of what is going on. I will repeat what Dave wrote about "Jack" many months ago. Somehow in a strange way I am grateful to him for coming up with this crazy scam of a limited hangout. In the long run I will be seen as a martyr just like Dave was.
He expects Antoinette to believe that I am trying to keep her and other media contacts from getting the FSZ side of the story? Whatever. Antoinette and other media know who I am in real life. I'm not the3 one who banned Dave and called Michael Fingerit, Michael Bouldin, and other political operatives regular guys. "Jack" is the one who doesn't even allow their real names to be mentioned, even when it is clear as day that they are the real life political operatives. I believe that "Jack" is either Michael Fingerit or someone associated with him. Not for one second do I buy his new story of FSZ being some kind of sociological experiment. Seeing that I have a masters in that subject and can prove it, based on all we now know about Dave's history with FSZ and DKos/UGOGs, I believe that FSZ is toast.
By the way a robot block has been placed on the wayback machine for FSZ. I believe the attorney general of New York should investigate this whole scam and all these fockers perverting the internet should face criminal charges. Reply to this

We were winning the silent war until those fucking assholes in Seattle ruined shit foreverz. But for awhile, we had them on their toes, erecting barricades where they least expected them, and hogtying them down when unfortunately no one was looking. Fuck it, we were right, but we were few. One of my favorite pictures of me is at a WEF protest in the mid90s.

Ignore the world's poor at your own risk! Written by Said Samir
Thursday, 14 March 2002 The first two days of the conference passed without any sign of mass demonstrations, which seemed to be strange. By noon of the second day of the conference, February 1, rain and cold wind prevented many protesters from gathering. Walking around the hotel looking for any sign of demonstrations one could only identify three young men carrying hand made signs, including one that read "I demand a better puppet show." The young man carrying the sign was convinced that the ongoing economic globalization of the world is advantageous only for the rich and powerful, whether it is a nation, corporation, politician, or businessperson. He said that he is not blindly anti-globalization but rather is only pro-globalization that benefits humanity at large. In his opinion a single tone economic-globalization that focuses on profit and ignores social and cultural difference will lead to even more degradation of those who are already poor. He noted that he was disappointed that there were no other protesters joining him but he insists on using his right to express his opinion about the WEF. http://ssamir.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=7&Itemid=9

I am new to this curmudgeon versus curmudgette thing. Didn't Blogging Curmudgeon used to make a lot of good posts? If so, and same with Curmudgette, then what explanation is there other than a cointelpro-like infestation? I am tired of people like Susan who don't take the goodwill effort to help out. She didn't make one post here while Dave was alive. That was a factoid I found quite striking at the time she told me you were bad news. Dude, I can't throw anyone under the bus unless they make it apparent by their own words and actions, such as with Fingerit, Bouldin, and Company. As for Pinche Tejano, I have seen some inconsistencies from him. I don't trust one person at FSZ and MLW at this point. They all seem to be missing the big picture. How many times has KarmaFish said that he can't figure out the UGOGs and then asks why should he give a sh*t? Do you hear me, big guy?
I see the thread going at MLW you started. I haven't read through it yet. Though I see it looks like Tejano got caught in a whopper with extra cheese like you say. Now why do people like him and Jack so blatantly lie? To me it appears to be proverbial smoke and mirrors. And at the same time, so many are saying forget about that SockRat and what he has uncovered. Well, I am tired of the tread marks on my back from the bus. I am willing to even send Antoinette copies of my transcripts and diplomas. I already told her my real name.
Here is the link to your MLW thread, for the readers here, if they are interested.
Hopefully Antoinette can see that we are trying to flesh out some world series of META which seems to have hit a climax in real time. I wish I could join in at MLW, but because of my potty mouth, I have been sent to the showers. And I'm not gonna go the zombie route for that place. Same with FSZ. I figure, how many times can one hammer the nail in?
p.s. I do what I do. If folks can interact with my stuff, then that's for the best. I admit when I am wrong. I also trumpet what I get right. But mostly all I get is beat on with ad hominems.

He was at FSZ for awile in the beginning. His genius is that he could be anyone of us, anywhere. Remember the Nov banning? Jack blamed it on "shadowthief" altho he wasnt posting there anymore by that point. Its like cometman thinking anyone who remotely makes a point that I mite make at FSZ is actually me using a sock. I dont use socks either. But Shadowthief added that paranoid element that is now entrenched....its even been said that you are Shadowthief, and you do have a quality about you.........well, if you cool, but if yur not, I like you fine as you are. Sorry about teh sockrat. If it really bugs you I'll quit. Actually, I dont like that you use the name "socrates." I dont like that other dude using "diogenes," either. I liked you fine as Prepostericity. That name sounded more hip.
Look, dude. I get yur schtick about the cointelpro, but the real point you make to me is that people act like this in groups online for god knows whatever reason, whetehr they are paid or not, they act that way anyway. Emulating Kops. Yeccch. "Pwoggies?" Wtf?
I cant believe that there are cointelpros wasting there time, especially at a small scale blog like DKOS, even.
DKOS is small scale, believe it or not.
If you look at it a certain way, everyone is cointelpro.
But they are not paid. They are just fucked up busybodies without decent or original schtick, so they act like Lauren S, or Deedog, Flaw, or the other Kos Kops. Human nature. White middle class herd animalz. Look around dude. They are fucked up in RL too.

Good to hear some of that good old realistic analysis from you. Hope we bump into each other in the cyber-future, though we're not at all the same type. And that's a good thing. Looks like J.G. Ballard died today; always meant to read him but never have. The enlightenment belief in inevitable social (in part because of the wonders of technology) progress was one of the things he was most 'anti'.

If I had to guess, I would say this ShadowThief dude could be Number5. Now did ShadowThief write lies? Or was he sincerely trying to make it a better world through blogging? That's all that really matters. Curmudgette, on the other hand, acts all prim and proper, moves up the food chain to work with a real world name like MeSoc, and she is set on portraying ShadowGuy as being bad news.
I picked socrates when I was a pure nobody. Now that I am a nobody with an internet identity, it just so happens that was the username I started with. Like you, I am not into sock puppets. Like you, I have consistently been accused of sock puppetry. Even when I have gone back as a zombie, I have always been the one to out myself. I am into facts. I am into making this a better world. I am also trying to figure out how to use the word I less. :)
When I use the word cointelpro, I nearly always throw in the modifier cointelpro-like.
These people we have outed as fakes, they act just like they are working out of cointelpro manuals. There is merit to what you say. They could be twisted just like people in the real world. Into groupthink. Into developing loyalty for anyone as long as they are perceived to be on their side.
Yet, I do think Fingerit and Bouldin are paid to be KosKops. I believe Jack is affiliated to them. Just a coincidence he is from Long Island? When Abbeysbooks got targeted, it was after she went after lawyers. Dave got targeted when he went after Hannity, Levin, and others from Long Island. I don't think these are FBI, so I agree this is not cointelpro. But they are lawyers and political consultants who have much in common with cointelpro. Heck, maybe Fingerit is tied into some kind of black operation. I doubt he does what he does for free. You think Michael Fingerit's computer activities have been done for free?
Here's an example of what I'm saying. Look at Brett Kimberlin. The guy is a proven con artist. On one level it would be easy to suggest he may be part of cointelpro. Isn't cointelpro all about infiltrating peace movements and destroying them from within? But then again, he may simply be a confidence man with cointelpro-like characteristics. Fingerit could be a political consultant thug with cointelpro-like characteristics. The only person who appears to have been proven to be involved with the FBI is Hal Turner. But that is where things get strange. For who is Hal a buddy of? Sean Hannity from Long Island. Maybe Tejano is a spook?
How 'bout calling me Soc, or any kind of nickname that wouldn't make me seem to have sock puppets. Though, I do admit it never bugged me too much. I pictured you as James Cagney going, "You dirty sock rat."

The only quotes that seem worthy of being added to this discussion are from Jack's Smirking Revenge, as he tries to return order to his totally discredited website.
The best way to describe this is..... that I can prove nothing.
But the coincidences of so many things are too coincidental for me to dismiss.
I showed the e-mails with MF so you can see what they do, but he wasn't the worst from what I hear.
There is a tandem attempt to play nice with the reporter who took over Dave's site and smear me as a hater of DFQ.
Those same people started shit here in order to harass the shit out of me and others to chase them off the site.
If I was a DNC insider that just realized a reporter took over a site that was owned by someone who dug deep into kos and exposed the real info of a group of pretty high profile people conspiring to ban people to narrow content as they saw fit, I would do anything to make sure I controlled the story.
Smear anyone that had contact with him as irrelevant to contain the issue to only one man (who is now dead) so that it doesn't go any further from there.
Play damage control, just like a good political consulting firm would.
Flame the boards here, chase people away, get me to shutdown, and boom...one less person to deal with.
That's how I would play it....and i'm not trained to even play that game, so one can only imagine I guess.
Another question.... ever talk real loud about something to somebody else loud enough so that a person not in on the convo can hear it and you meant to say it that loud so that other person would hear it?

I simply tried my best to help finish up what Dave did. The big picture is what counts most. Political consultants/lawyers are all over DKos. Dave figured out the key players and tied them to the top of the DKos foodchain.
I, too, think it's admirable to try to carry on Dave's vision. I think he would have toned down the meta over time. Maybe if Jack and FSZ hadn't used him for their own agendas, he would've wrapped things up a lot sooner." {link to this website}

Jack is trying to twist this as myself covering up the story of DailyKos and political consultants perverting democratic processes by turning the focus solely on Dave. What I see are insidiously crafter rabbit holes and limited hangouts are being spun to prevent newbies, fence-sitters, and interested reporters from getting to the true story.
What Jack is doing to me is nothing new. I've seen other internet fakes before this on numerous occasions co-opt the messages of sincere bloggers. E.G. There have been fake neo-nazis spreading divide and conquer hate dialogue talking about cointelpro. Look at the UGOG/KosKops or even go further back and look at the DKos career of Armando. They co-opt the idea of troll busting. As to the recent developments, it can be seen that Jack has co-opted my true motivation as a {retired} sociologist, who has been trying to out the established fact that lawyers and political consultants are perverting freedom of speech and association on the internet.
that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Reply to this

I just checked the stats for the Daily Kos defender, MyLeftWing.com. If Alexa has any accuracy at all, this is bizarre.
Granted MLW allows for a bit of whining about DKos, but MeSOC clearly puts a lid on how much opposition one can muster against the Evil Orange. With KarmaFish and ThereIsNoSpoon being MaryScott's close friends, not to mention the Fox News producer, Phil I. Stine, along with how Francis Holland's work covering MAMZ was completely and unfairly trashed, MyLeftWing appears to be some kind of honey pot for those who get fed up with the hate dialogue at DKos.
Is some kind of robot program in place to make MLW appear more popular than it truly is?
Apparently its numbers are up 50% over the last three months.

Hi abbeysbooks. I hope you are able to see FSZ for what it truly is and stop posting there. I think in due time you will be able to find a new and better place for expression. Perhaps you could post here more often, and then at some point a forum which enables greater dialogue and opportunities to write diaries could complement your work here.
I think the #1 problem is information overload combined with divide and conquer tactics. The blogospheric ptb's do not want individuals to form groups in which integrity, critical thinking, and respect form the bedrock for our associations and results.
There are tricks to the trade. While I am not a big reader of Marisacat's forum, there is a wealth of information there on Maryscott O'Connor and her Kos supporting website MyLeftWing. For instance, one can try the following.
For google for example, one can search for things within specific domains. You'll see a link on google called more results from, or simply type in:
site:example.com search words and phrases
Cybersleuths like myself are ostracised. We are called stalkers and sufferers of asperger's or living in the basement.
No matter how bad it ever looks, and this also pertains to the excellent work done by Dave; The truth is really out there, and most importantly, the reader does decide.
Now I agree that my find at Alexa is quite puzzling. The other day, the statistic crept up to 63.3% of MLW readers coming from India. That is bizarre.
Now the beauty of overcoming divide and conquer is that sincere individuals can join forces, kind of like in a seminar type atmosphere. You are to be commended for supporting Dave when he really needed it. Same with Antoinette.
Wow. I just checked out Alexa again for MyLeftWing.com.
MLW is ranked 38,804 in India and 363,855 in the U.S.. [/confused smilie]
That has to be some kind of robot program. I think it has to do with insidious efforts to get MyLeftWing to stay visible in the search engines.
But to get back to my point before. When individuals work together in good faith and flesh out ideas, in let's say a safe haven rather than in a fake free speech zone, then the insidious elements are less able to pigeon-hole us.
The attacks on Dave were all about putting his ideas through a cookie-cutter. The lesson of Dave and of anyone who truly believes in blogging as democratic and based on great truths and the promotion of positive social movement, is that the facts, theories, and whatnot provided by well-meaning people will be ignored, then mocked, then pigeon-holed by astroturfers. It's basically about attacking the messenger rather than the message, since the messages are based on academic priciples and the desire to truly save the planet. DKos and its offshoots are merely part and parcel of the status quo. Reply to this

I actually am a bit worried for that lady. She is clearly unbalanced, being manipulated, and heading in a downward spiral. She actually makes donkeytale look like Mr. Rogers in comparison. Talk about a potty mouth and salty, sailor talk.
There are actually better results for google if one inserts site:wordpress.com MSOC.
One problem is that google search results can be manipulated. There are methods used to make sure cached paged are lost. There are also limitations to the wayback machine. E.G., one can plug in political flesh feast and only be able to see a few front pages, nothing more. For some reason, political flesh feast pages aren't showing up one iota in any caches. Did Peeder make sure PFF would go down a memory hole?
Anyway, that's a digression for now.
MSOC has a new expression called eat it with milk. Has she no shame? Does she not worry that her son will someday find out these things? What about this one?
HowardX, Supersoling, Curmudgette, and many others come out of the woodwork acting like they are some kind of authority on internet fakery. Except for myself and abbeysbooks, not one other person has followed through on Dave's later work.
I am the one who Jack's Smirking Revenge has co-opted for his most recent limited hangout.
Everything coming out from Melvin, ComtMan, Lauren S, Mattes, and many others is simply noise.
And what about Mattes, that divisive anti-semitic who used to link directly to disinfo peddler Michael Rivero in "her" signature? There is cointelpro all over the internet. It's just impossible to prove these are bloack operations. Thus I'm the one who gets smeared as being a looney tunes conspiracy theorist.
And what's MeSoc have up for her latest rant? She's all mad at Obama for not prosecuting war criminals. The title of her rant is Hypocrisy. What a joke this whole blogosphere is. Only last week or so she was going the triangulation route bitching about Mumia t-shirt wearers attacking Obama. Got astroturf? Time to up that medication, Mary Scott O'Connor. Maybe it's time to give KarmaFish a raise. Reply to this

DTale, I want Antoinette to understand that at this time I wish to disassociate myself in my professional capacity from Mssr.Donkey(Salty Sailor)Tale.
While I regret having to make this decision it is only resonable in light of the recent tarnishing of my good name at the 5 Star Weblog known as FSZ.
Since it has now commenced to cleaning it image and jettisoning it's less desirable members I feel compelled to shine my own ass as a means of blog survival.
While this split certainly is a sad occasion in no way should it signal in any way that I intend to sever all contact with Mssr. Tale.
I'm hopeful that he will see the wisdom of Captain Jack's wayz and commence to properly coming his coat so as to fit in, i.e. become indistinguishable from the rest of the herd.
Should his udders one day produce the skim milk that is now the currency of merit at 5 Star Weblog FSZ I will reconsider this decision to sever professional ties.

This is DaveFromQueens.com, and I refuse to do anything but stand behind Dave's honour. HowardX is not who he portrays himself to be.
your personal information is not safe at fsz jacks desire to be liked by everyone apparently makes him unable to enforce the rules he himself put in place, he has ignored the fact that a majority of fsz users voted that dave had violated the rules for a second time in favor of some kind of unworkable policy that allows dave to out anyone he wants as long as dave deems them "political operatives". im not interested in having to stay on crazy daves good side in order to keep my anonymity, see his veiled threats to out pager for what happens if you dont. good luck people i like, fuck the rest of you.
death and hatred to mankind
Death and hatred to mankind? This guy sounds just like the toxic that comes out of Melvin. Both of them along with Mattes, Deedog, and CometMan have been all over me in ad hominem style for my expose on Larisa Alexandrovna and Brett Kimberlin.
I can't prove it, because Darrell deleted the HoldThePickles website, but after I had praised HowardX at my website, I saw him take a swipe at me. He called me out as crazy or to that effect. Above in that quote he called Dave crazy. This guy is not a friend of this website.
i dont care if you guys dont want to hear about giyus, it exists, its a fact and its existance puts each one of you under a cloud....i will retract nothing (3+ / 2-)

giyus exists, its not a conspiracy theory. it exists for the purpose of defending israel on internet sites like this one...
One can look at HowardX's posts at DKos and somewhat see what led to him being banned. He was on the "pro-Palestinian" side attacking a woman who claimed that her parents were gravely ill.
Now, granted it was the KosKops who took him out, but according to RustyPipes, it was confirmed that the story was true.
HowardX did nothing for Dave but was a KosKop about it. Just like Melvin of late. He also has tons of posts at DU, but I haven't looked into them yet. Your story, DonkeyTale, does seem to hold water, and for that, I offer you respect.
I know Dave's probably been warned a million times already, but he seems to admit that he confused outing RL info w/o naming names as OK.
I say give him the bennie of the doubt and let him stay.
He is made for this place...and for better or worse, has helped make this place what it has become....
.... also, fuck those Kos Kop Kops and former Kos Kops, who are always urging you to pull the trigger.
They have no problem with bannings, in fact seem to long for them....personally,if I were you, I would immediately ban anyone who suggested banning anyone else...and take lotsa time before banning those they accused...
DFQ makes this place fun! (5.33 / 3) I only found this place after seeing links to it in comment threads on dkos. I clicked over here to Dave's Biggest Assholes at Kos and laughed my ass off. It was hillarious. The DFQ drama diaries make my day.
DFQ is made for this place, and he did make it what it has become. I just came to look, now I'm commenting.

EXACTLY! If only more lurkers would take the time to logon and tell us the real truth.... (4.00 / 3) which is that its the Byrons, the donKKKeyturdz, the dfqz, the nooms, the erics, the I/P warriors, et al, who make the flee speech zone what it is, not the groupthink thundering herd of liberals and other assorted looserz who mouth the same boring platitudes day after livelong day. This fact has been proven over and over again at Booman's Tribunal and M(edicated) L(oony) W(omen) among other sites who have banned all the loveable scuzzballz and subsequently lost most of their traffic as a result.
While PFF surged to the top of the MAMZ diaspora sites overnight.
Whats reaaly funny is how the Kos Kops and the Kos Kop Kops think it was they who made flee speech blogs popular.

To CometMan: So you didnt sneak a peek at MLW at all, did you bigshot? I'd bet you all the reefer in California that MLW traffic increased by a wider margin than you suspect last week... (0.00 / 0) The evidence I base my case on is prima facie: BT and MLW dwindled after they banned/purged several, including me, while PFF surged. According to Peeder, PFF quickly became larger than all the MAMZ diaspora sites combined...things didnt start to dwindle qualitatively until you, Archie, Gatto and the rest of the boring mundanities began to arrive, and quash the experiment with your rampant Flandersism...altho Archie, whatever you think of him, is no Flanders. I'll give him that much...that and he seems to have banned the wrekkk list at his own blog....which, of course, nobody reads....
FSZ started out slowly but has definitely surged with dfq, obviously, because of his wack contributions---most of which I don't follow or read, but which are A-OK with me...as are yours, Sabrinas, Somethings, Devores, (even) Otvos, et al, EVerbodyS!!!! by: donkeytale

I saw one line where you said Jack made the right decision, but for the most part, yes, you showed that Dave was aware of the rules and did not feel he had broken them.
Melvin appears to be too over the top with his anger, imho. There is never a shred of vulnerability. I think we display that at times, which makes our writings more accessible to the unwashed readers.
I too believe this is no outlet for nasty ad hominems. The thing I have to be wary of is the Larry Bird rule. Other teams would always send their 11th guy on the bench to try to get both of them thrown out of the game. Larry never fell for that one. Yet, that also meant he was never afraid to go after Dr. J..
I don't much care for tussling with no names like Melvin. The thing I got about Dave was that he was going after real names, names with influence.
Dude, we are like Seinfeld and George Costanza. You are having a rebirth over at MLW, while I struggle to get gigs selling chicken on tv ads.
Two of the triplets were banned. Trashablanca is still there. The KosKops and fake liberal atmosphere is still there. What could really break this thing wide open is if someone can tie any of the real names to the FBI and/or to someone like Sean Hannity. That will take real world reporting.
I think what you are missing is that the blogosphere does have real world influence. Though I totally agree with you how lame all the forums are in regards to producing collective activism or the outrageous stretch of imagination where people like CleverGuy82 talk about "our" and "community." I believe Dave was targeted for two reasons. He brought about the possibility for collective activism. Secondly, he went after the wingnuts from Long Island.
I see FSZ as going back to focusing in on the polarization of the Israel/Palestine issue. I believe that was why the place was first set up. Though, it was also meant to gobble up the PFF mojo.
I also see how Ormond Otvos is seemingly a part of the script. He has a thread up at FSZ for keeping the "Jack" meta in one thread.
They continue to go with the meme that we are thread hijackers and trolls. That is ridiculous. I tended to stay on my own diaries or get in on meta elsewhere. If anything, my blogging as a whole has been hijacked and trolled on.
Anyway, we won, and they lost. We done good.
I sure wish I hadn't been banned by MeSoc. Hey, who do you think MajorFingerit is? {/evil laugh}
p.s. sometimes you can think like them and beat them at their own games. But you don't like to strategerize in private. But one time me and this other bloke had a fake fight {after a real one}, and it really through off the disinfo trail. Reply to this

I have uncovered a lot in the last few days. When I get the chance I will write it up at my own forum with probable cross-posts. I think you have done a good job with your cross-posts.

Marcuse said we have to be intolerant of tolerance. When all sides are allowed, the status quo will always prevail.
The forum ptb's love to work the Israeli/Palestine issue from all angles. It feels scripted. The cybersmear attacks started on me in 2007 after I came out against the Israeli govt. policies but for Jewish people.
So you end up with a big thread at MLW complaining about liberals tolerating hate speech against Jewish people. That's simply not the truth. The hate speech against Jews has been coming from the right. Jeff Rense, Michael Rivero, and Willis Carto are all from the right.
There is a forum called Progressive Independent. It is like a version of PFF or MLW for Democratic Underground. They portray themselves as leftist. But then it turns out they have been sponsoring the What Really Happened website. WRH can be tied to holocaust deniers, even to a dude named Curtis Maynard. Tinoire runs PI. She is ex-military. She is kind of like Mattes but more influential. Last year she promoted Ron Paul. True lefties do not support Ron Paul and Michael Rivero. They simply don't. It also doesn't help that she is associated with Wayne Madsen and Jeff Wells.
This is why I try to get people to think outside of the soapblox {I made a funny}. The disinfo and one-sided moderating is going on EVERYWHERE.
Sports: Tracy McGrady, I know what you mean. Remember Bob MacAdoo?
The reason the Celtics won last year is because the big three had always been the big cheese on their teams but had never won anything. They had gotten every kind of respect except for the trophy of being champion. They didn't care about their stats. They bought into the Celtic tradition of teamwork. Good thing too. They are nearing their mid thirties, so it is a small window.
Ainge set it up good, though. Each year one of the big three's contract will be over. So they either resign for less, or they are gone. Marbury is even buying into the team play. The Celtics are winning, imho, because of Ainge. He's been a genius with the draft. Rondo is the real deal. Big Baby Davis is underrated.
Did you know Eddie House once scored 61 pts. in a college game?
Ok. Here's the lowdown on Garnett. And yeah, anyone but LA, please. I don't like Kobe, and I think their team is kind of soft anyway. They have an aura of entitlement. I respect San Antonio. They are humble about it. Houston, yeah, Yao seems old school.
Garnett would have had surgery already if he was done. He came down funny on an alley-oop. There are bone chips and some kind of tendon something. He needs surgery, but it's not like he can't play. It's a matter of how much can he play and for how long. Watch for KG to return for the conference finals against Cleveland for about 20 minutes a game. Reply to this

O'Bama won. He is kicking ass for the moment. Its too early to be either complimentary or critical. A CEO cant be judged on micro merits. You have to see the entire program laid out over time and whether he succeeds. You also have to see how he reacts in a crisis. We truly havent seen this yet, but after 16 consecutive years of two complete horses asses at the helm, O bama will have a relatively easy time keeping people's support. Like Reagan, in a different way, he connects with people and they will give him the benefit of the doubt. It helps that he is young and African American. No question, he has reversed the tables.
I here older white people grumbling about O'Bama and whether its true or not, the grumbling cant help but sound racist, sore-looser-like back talk without a whiff of honesty about it.
The Hannitization of America. RIOTOUS!
I'm thinking HOU has the only chance to stop LA in teh West. Neither DAL or SA seem to be at peak this year, they are aging and not coming up with much help for their starz. I havent watched the regular season at all, but Battier is a strong defender and so is Artest. I think they hold their own with Kobe and whoever. Inside, you have Yao versus Pao. Weird. Not remotely as epic or heroic as Wilt vs Russell, but what you gonna do?
Of course, the whole world will want to see Kobe vs. King James in the final.
I gotta go with CLE in the event of that matchup.
There is no denying Kobe's ability on many nights he is as great as anybody ever, but not every night.
James, OTOH, is a beast who plays like a combination of Magic and Jordan. He is so great that even on off nights he does enough in other areas to help his team win. Reply to this

Obama could put up a Kobe Bryant like 10 for 32 night shooting and as long as there aren't riots in the street and he puts on good press conferences, he will always be winning the all-star mvp trophies.
Dude, thank you for Kendrick Perkins. That kid was incredible tonight. 19 rebounds and 7 blocks. Paul Pirce went nuts in the fourth and overtime after playing sluggish. Rajon Rondo, wow. He is averaging a triple double. Perk is from Texas.
I think the refs are cheating. It's as if the point spread means too much. I'm not one to say David Stern can direct who wins. I'm not that loony. But for real, the refs are so bad, that maybe that one ref who got busted last year isn't the only one. Reply to this

That guy Gordon on the Bulls is incredible. He's like Bernard King, unstoppable. But the refs, yikes, talk about phantom fouls.
I could have sworn someone was saying KG might be back for the next series.
San Antonio is cooked. I only meant I respected what they did over the years. What's up with the Nuggets? I would put them ahead of the Lakers. Yeah, Kobe is the guy you want if you're playing video games. But does he make his teammates better? I don't think so.
Lebron is the best. He seems to have a respect for the history of the game. But Cleveland had a mediocre road record.
There is something to the Celtic's mystique too. If KG comes back, the C's will still be underdogs, and then things could get very interesting.
The C's easily handled Cleveland during the year without KG. Although that was a home game. Rondo, Perkins, and Big Baby Davis have improved so much. I don't think the rest of the country realises that yet.
As for Marcuse, you make a good point. But he was coming from the outlook that the status quo is the problem. He was saying that we need to be intolerant of the status quo, kind of the way Antoinette bats them down. She has more natural ability and dignity in her pinkie, than Sean Hannity does in his whole hand. Yikes, I just stole a quote from John McEnroe. He said that about Ivan Lendl {sp?}. That was a good one.
The Pffugeecamp is a way station. It is just another soapblox noise chamber. The only difference is no one seems to get banned. So if someone wants to post there, they have the right to be ridiculed.
It's over. Peeder blew it. He should have just started to be King Solomon and put up some rules. Guys like us get a bad wrap as disruptors and that we use sock puppets, but if there were some rules, people like us could blog in peace.
Isn't the true lesson of the whitosphere that independent thought is not allowed, that such people will be goaded into emotional responses and whatnot and led down a path where rules are applied unevenly?
So what we need is a forum, a big one, where the leadership truly understands the need for good moderating. The problem with MLW, DKos, and Democratic Underground is that the herd can be crass and rude, so the illusion is given that it is a saloon. Then suckers like us get bounced. That's how I see it.
Plus, I see a lot of outright disinfo being circulated on the internet. That's why I think I get harrassed so much. I proved a lot, but the blogospheric ptb's respond that no one is listening and no one cares. Then they spread lies that such and such gets banned everywhere, that they are blog wreckers, etc..
We done good donkeytale. We may not be perfect, but it's obvious that the major forums are closed shops. Otherwise, real communities would have formed. A guy like Mike Gravel might have been elected, not a corporate guy like Obama. I'm assuming Gravel is a good guy.
The war would have already ended. Bush and Cheney would be on the dockets, along with Condi, Yoo, uhm et al. Reply to this
It's all semantics. Being tolerant of intolerance is the same way as saying some intolerance is good. Intolerant of Nazis good.
But if we're gonna be tolerant of intolerance, we need impartial arbiters to make sure there is no cheating. Laura is hands off. Jack was a cheater. Peeder was basically in over his head.
I think Peeder took the easy way out. He should have tried to create a forum and be the man. Hey, find people you trust to be moderators. I know....easier said than done.
The internet is corrupt. Is there even one forum where there is no trolling allowed but without the "state-sponsored" trolling? I don't see it.
If someone could put one of those together, I think Dave even thought about the possibilty, I think it would be a success. But then an astute old timer hippie like you knows that cointelpro ain't no tinfoil theory, that it would take an extraordinary person or people to put such a productive forum together.
Thus it seems like we are trolls, but who can realistically argue that the major forums are any good, that they aren't just out to make money off of the "progressive" brand.
true progressives are anti-war, anti-military. They don't have fox producers or thereisnorape and armandos running around.
It would be a balancing act. How to protect those who play fair and weed out the bad guys without making too many mistakes.
Maybe by exposing the blogs, the few of us have set the course for the kids to come up with something good with the net. Otherwise, it is all going towards Arianna Huffington type mega-supermalls, where the common blogger has no chance at all to move up any food chain. Reply to this
I spent the weekend in solitude, celebrated a bit after copping plea and avoidng probation or punishment of any kind, sentenced to: time served. 3 lousy daze. RIOTOUS!
I completed the work I needed done, I watched some bball in the evenings, drank some Shiner bohemian black lager and smoked some decent weed, for once. All with the benevolent Frau's most kind permission. As long as I stayed home, out of trouble.
"He saw that it was good and it was good."
RIOTOUS!
OK. I read where Sejemojo said on camp pffugee that no one had reserved "donkeytale." OK. So I went back in and I typed in donkeytale, went thru all those hoops, created my own password, and read the secret code, "gzodik", I think was mine, and when I submitted it some red words came back saying something like: "invalid username already exists" or wtf. I would have written it down, but like I said, better weed than usual.
Actually, it doesnt really matter whether I'm in or not. In a way, I'm glad I cant get in. Save me lotsa time and trouble. Pffugee Camp looks feels and smells like a waystation.
The whole idea reminds me of bird shit splattering on the windshield. Just kinda yucky and always there, but otherwise you ignore it and hope the next meta rain storm washes it away.
The "words" of Jesus resonate with me, precisely because I am a non-Christian.. Its all in the context. Of course, the particular genius of teh New Testament is that we get multiple Jesuses, which shows the inability of men to even settle on a common mythology. At the same time. Jesus becomes everyman's Jesus, which makes so much sense in the info boobtubez era, where multitudinous variations of reality co-exist, however uneasily and untenably.
My Jesus is warrior against delusional hypocrits, a criminal who breaks enough petty laws that when he commits his biggest offence, proving himslef smarter and truer than the PTB, it is enuff for the herd to demand his excision.
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
These are fightin words! How strange to hear that he is a "lamb of god" mumbled over and over.
But he is too the "lamb of God" as surely as he is the consorter with prostitutes, tax collectors and the Devil.
Happy to hear that you're out with time served. Reply to this

I think the Noom character was created just for yourself. Part of the reason I didn't trust you for a long time was precisely because of the similarities with misspellings.
Let's refer to it as troll by association.
The problem with soapblox is that it costs at a minimum $15 a month. That's kind of a hefty investment for what should be free. Maybe you should start your own blogspot? Would you be interested in starting one with me? Or one for yourself could be a good outlet for ya. You could put it into your username here. It could be a place for you to write your prose on your own terms, and unwashed masses like us could chip in with comments. Just an idea. It's free.
Why do I think Noom could be a fake? Well, I don't necessarily think everyone who writes anti-Palestinian/pro-occupation posts is necessarily on an operative payroll. But I see that "Revisionist" at Pffugee has Noom in his signature. Noom at MLW made it clear that his username had been messed with by Jack. Wouldn't "Noom" make sure that it's known that Revisionist isn't himself, if they are indeed two separate people?
Then when one looks at Revisionist's blog, they can see it is from the "pro-Palestinian" side. That means this Noom guy, if he is also Revisionist, is playing both sides of the fence. That is how operatives play things.
My idea is of controlled opposition. It's like how I keep harping on the fact that peaceniks, lefties, and thinkers aren't wanted on these forums. Groupthink via easily manipulated herds are desired, along with lots of noise and confusion.
I used to be somewhat flattered when I first got cybersmear/script attention. But this latest round including myself, you, Eric S., and Noom just outright stinks. One must fight back when even it's just a username being unfairly maligned. For good ideas we promote get distorted.
Who is CometMan to be speaking of whackjobs? He went after me for writing that Michael Connell was never threatened by Karl Rove. CometMan is a big supporter of Brett Kimberlin's Velvet Revolution. That means he supports a confidence man raking in cash off of hoaxes surrounding election fraud.
Ensuring fair elections has nothing to do with sexy, tabloid stuff that has no basis in reality. It has to do with gerrymandering, voter roll purges, money, etc..
It is common knowledge that electronic voting machines are unreliable. But to prop up easily debunked hoaxes surrounding them makes it less likely that we will move to hand counted paper ballots.
It's a fill in the blank by association blogosphere. Create an outlet where there are fair rules for dialogue and research, and blogmaids like CometMan won't be able to bully others.
Lauren S did a 180 from being a KosKop to a MajorFlaw nemesis. It fooled a lot of people at first, including Dave. Jack fooled a lot of people at first.

Listen, when one gets beyond all the drama, theories, reposts, putting two and two together.... we are looking at one primary result- a blockade on pure freedom of speech and association, with the facade being that those who are on the outside of the major forums looking in, for the most part, deserved their fate.

Antoinette, why you giving Obama a free ride? You like that he's pro spying, giving away money to rich people, and not prosecuting war crimes? Why are we still in Iraq? Did you hear about the plans for geoengineering? If you're not careful, this place will simply become a caricature of what Dave was about.
Dave was for more and better Democrats, not just attacking easy targets like Hannity, Coulter, Levin, and Limbaugh. If you want this website to grow, you need to also hold fake progressives to the fire. Otherwise, you're just reinventing the wheel and holding up a system which does not encourage thinking outside the box nor democracy.

dave was pro Obama. He was a democrat and politically astute. Remember, he wasnt part of the rabble at FSZ. He was reviled by the herd and even a portion of the free thinkers, some of whom thot his tactics went to far and threatened an outing war between UGOG and MattyJack. I like that BTW. Rhymes with DaddyMac.
To me, what is interesting about the Tea Parties is what they symbolize now as much as in the 18th century, or wtf:
neocon revolt.
Revolt in this country is unlikely but its potential is nil from the left, whose futility is neatly summed up by the reaction to the fizzle on Wall Street Rally of 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4. Whenever the fuck it was sposse d to be held.
The first reule for the revolutionary:
get the place, date and time correct.
RIOTOUS!
Reule #2: dont smoke that second jay before heading out to the confrontation.
And in closing, thanks Sock Rat for exposing my fine work at MLW. I snuck a peak and was surprised to see Mrs. Mudgette calling me a "paranoid hullicenogen" or wtf. Well, I spose she's wright, in the final analysis.
And, uh, take it from a historic troll. There is a process that must be followed in getting banned. You just down throw down some wek schtick about cutting the military budget and demand the comment be deleted and you be banned. Sheesh, man, if that was easy everybody would be banned.
What? You think Jesus just went up and got in Pilate's face and told him to off him?
No sirree. He had go to through some shit first, y'know, betrayals/denials/kkkrewing cocks, or wtf.
OK and I read up on Francis' site about your good work in that DKOS dairy. Very impressive. Especially the gratuitous swipe at FSZ.
Finally, in an even greater waste of time, I googked "Brett Kimberlin" who seems to claim he once sold some weed to dan fucking Quayle no less? I remember that one. Good prank but how is he connected to the Whiteysphere, and how is Larisa Androvna a fake righty again?
See, here I am spilling my gutz as usual, and you simply throw out these names with the charge of astroturff but you seem to assume we know the back story, when we dont.
And I still cant see how to make comments or open a forum on your site. Like, what fucking button do I click on? Or is DOS or wtf?

DT, thanks for the response. But let's try to abide with Antoinette's idea to stay on topic. {Please go to the forum, sign in, then go to the everything else section, and make a post. It isn't brain surgery. I set us up a new thread, just click on it, and we can get through the stuff you just mentioned without upsetting the apple cart here. Or maybe Antoinette could give us one open thread a week? I really don't want to give up on this place. I'm tired of giving up on forums.}
Hey, we were all Obama-bots, when we had to be. John McCain would have been much worse. But now that he's in, we need to hold the guy's feet to the fire.
While I see merit in going after neocon nutjobs, if we don't also go after the right wing of the Democratic Party, what is the point?
A huge reduction in the military would solve everything. The beauty of that proposal is in its simplicity. The strongest America would be a prosperous one with renewable energies, health care, education, shelter, and fair play for all. Gerry Brown said we could save the environment while creating jobs. The status quo is not our friend. I believe that Obama needs to be pushed left, or else he will be blamed for the malaise in 2012, and we'll be getting a Republican President. Can't you see that? If both parties are the same, or very similar on all the big issues concerning life, death, economics, etc., they'll just keep flip flopping good cop and bad cop.
Reply to this
Oops. I guess his name is spelled Jerry Brown.
I just want to clarify my position.
It seems pretty clear that Obama was born an American citizen.
Antoinette, you say the radical right is the real threat to America. But isn't the fact that lefties, peaceniks, and real progressives are being marginalised the big problem?
Everyone can see how nuts the far right is. But can't you see how far right the Democrats have gone? Shouldn't that be addressed?
Mike Gravel would have been a good choice for President. That he had no chance of winning, that right wing Democrats like Obama and Hillary were the only real choices, to me, speaks to the fact that the far right wing cannot possibly be the real threat. The threat can be found in the corporate and military status quo. That is where the redistribution of wealth needs to take place. Why should anyone believe in Democrats versus Republicans mythology anymore? The Democrats are clearly the lesser of two evils. But evil they remain.
Why isn't the Obama Administration going after the war criminals? If you want to stop illegal wars, you need to prosecute those who were involved.

Hey guyz -

I also wanted to post a defense of sockrattease. His original chemtrail diary is the perfect example of the gang banging. It was like being at Kos the way people just showed up to attack him and put down his topic.
NE guesses on who LIO and hidden comment are? The strident, condescending attitudes sound familiar but I am usually no good at socks.
I wouldnt be 1/2 surprised if it was MBNYC and friendz.
Anyway, I find posting here creepy but dont have anywhere else to weigh in.

Hey Antoinette, I hope all is well. I sincerely want to follow your rules. The problem is we don't have a free thread to go to with the meta chatter.
I've tried a few times to interact with your posts. I did it here. I did it on the Coulter/abortion thread. I got zero feedback.
That's not a problem. Blogging get be lonely. There's never a guarantee of feedback.
But we could really use an open thread or two a week. One could be totally open, the other could be like a Beat the Blogosphere thread. We have this show in Boston called Beat the Press. It's put together by Emily Rooney, Andy's daughter. We could just substitute blogosphere for press.
I'm checking out some of Dave's older posts. He wanted to devote a day a week to Daily Kos type stuff. He listed sports. He even wanted to give a free speech day for the conspiracy theorists. Dave was definitely a people person. He was starting to understand how anti-democratic the internet has become.
There's great potential here. If you could just throw us out some crumbs.
To the new person, please do not refer to me as a sock rat. I do not troll and do not use sock puppets. This is also not the proper thread to be talking about the meta. Hence, I've asked Antoinette if she could hook us up with an open thread a week.
By the way, it was my "election integrity" stuff that triggered the immediate attacks on me at DKos and then FSZ. Later on I was able to link Fingerit to that disinfo crowd.
I'm not one to shove the "weather mitigation" topic into anyone's face.
Antoinette, MSOC of MyLeftWing has come out with a diary praising Obama. It's the same generic Democratic Underground/Daily Kos herd think where we need to accept that America is right of center, that anyone critical of Obama and our country's direction is out of line.
So how 'bout it Antoinette? Isn't the blind support for Obama misplaced? Where has that gumption gone where people were able to force the end to the Vietnam War? I think it's bad enough that true lefties, peaceniks and progressives have been ostracized. The worst part is to see how people like Moulitsas and O'Connor continually represent themselves as being the left.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Just got in and scanned the NYT to see whats what with the tea parties, and they seem to be as much a nonstarter as the "great peoples rally of 4/2 and/or 4/3 or 4/4, or wtf" that also fizzled.
People are still trying to figure out where they are in relation to this "historic 2nd great depression" mess, which like seemingly everything here in the oughts is hyper hyped out of all proportion to reality, for whatever reason or purpose.
O'Bama, of course has a perfect reason to hype it, much as Bush did the fear engendered on 9/11.
Of course, O'bama is not a one noter like Bush, and he has lately begun to pull his rhetoric back from the brink, as is necessary to instill some feeling amongst the people that is not optimism exactly, but also not we are partying like its 1933.
So, what does the lack of overt rebellion from either right or left tell us about this modern age we are all passing through?
One, is that people like O'Bama. Sure, the tea partiers hate him and so do their only tinily teenily slightly more enlightened first cousins, the whiteysphere, but look at the numbers. These two groups represent zilch. The vast majority of people are going to give the guy a chance.
Bet on it.
And why? Well, because he is young, smart, articulate and handsome. Or, alternatively, because the vast majority of people are daft with no reason for living except to befoul the environment.
So what? Either way, Obama's getting the same chance that they all get, and then some, especiaslly when they are young, smart and handsome.
It appears the grim economic outlook has brightened, even if its merely a false spring. Still, this may be exactly the type of recession many predicted for the infoboob years:
sharp, short, with the negative effects exarcebating and feeding the quick, steep descent, the result of the information hysteria unique to our dubious age.

The first I saw of this stuff was here with Antoinette's blogging. Now all of a sudden it's everywhere. Divide and conquer 101? Limited hangout? Not Antoinette.
I agree with you donkeytale on many levels.
*** Obama is clever to string it along. The first thing GW did was talk down the economy which lowered the expectations. GW wanted folks to think that the recession was inevitable due to Clinton's economics. GW and Co. then placated the masses with the lower interest rates and refinance boom. I'm fairly sure the ptb's are not gonna allow us to slip into a depression. They do not want riots. They are pro-status quo.
*** It boils down to that the world is economically interlocked. If one part is hurting, it's felt many thousands of miles away. That means status quo rules. China cannot afford for the US market to crumble. They are as much blackmailed by the US to buy the damn treasury notes as the US is dependent to let their human right and environmental violations slide.
I've been living poor for the last few months. One learns a lot through that. Each meal is savoured. One figures out how to buy rice, fruits, vegetables, you know, the staples. Like pasta. Man, there's so much more to live than running around in these rich, handsome, fake circles. The obvious solution is to drastically reduce the military. The rightwingers love to say that Ronald Reagan brought down the communist empire. But it was simply a matter of the Ruskies realising they had to cut back on the military, because they were broke. If I'm wrong on that, I'd love to hear other explanations.
I think the problem is too much is dependent on the military-industrial complex and wars. It seems rather simple to me. Terrorism needs to be treated as crime. War needs to be abolished.
{off=topic: Hey, I'm gonna email you, if your email at my forum is working. There's a "revenge of donkeytale" essay at MLW you might want to check out.
I'm done fighting these people on their own turf. Maybe I'll even take HowardX's advice and write a blog entry on sports or the friggen weather.
I caught Jack's Smirking Revenge in another lie concerning Dave. I went to CometMan's blog and Jack was there claiming how Dave liked him so much. But we know the proof. You must be aware of the entry Dave made here giving you kudos for confronting Jack. Dave even said that somehow he was grateful to Jack in a strange way for his gangsta thing, where he acted like a coward with no principles and morals.
It's also clear as lemonade that MLW is no real outlet. She used to have Armando and the mysoginist ThereIsNoSpoon with full editorial powers. I'm sorry I got all meta all the time. That's really not me. I know you probably feel like it's a been there, done that. There is certainly a burnout factor for anyone who goes down that route. I think you're one of the good guys and have tried your best. I'm gonna change your username to donkeytale from n00m. I got the satire of it, but we are not trolls.}

This response fairly rushed, but it applies also to Bitter Harpies' comment above.
I wont be posting anymore at FSZ> Whats the point? Everything I have prophecied about the whiteysphere (and then some) has been revealed. There is little I could add at this point. I know this will be construed as I chickened out, or was driven off the site (there will be a flurry of loosers trying to grab credit for that) but the fact is, its all there, for anyone with eyes to see.
For those caught up in the imbroglio, especially on the side of intolerance, well, we already know they have no eyes and even if I could restore their site, they would refuse to see. They revel in intolerance and blindness.
So whats the point?
I like this blog. I dont care if we are "hijacking" the threads. If Antoinette wants to ban me or you, or wtf, so be it.
I can feel the spirit of dave lurking here, and of course I remember that he gave me props on more than one occasion for truth telling. dave existed on a separate plane, with an expansive sense of wright and wong beyond the normal limitations, thats why he got me and the others didnt get him and never get me.
I've been working all week and was waiting for today or tomorrow to go back in and wade thru all the BS at FSZ, but now its Friday, I'm still buried in paperwork, so I'll just say this:
the whiteysphere reveals itself. It is not pretty. Its pretty ugly, in fact.
The one dairy of interest that was posted soon after MattyJacks latest little "joke", this time terming it "donkeytale-style" a label which is clearly false, and just another attempt to make me the scapegoat, was the dairy Alec put up soon after. And I guess Alec left for good at that point? And Beach and Vox, too? Alec was growing on the job there, unlike the other kos kops, who were shrinking.
Smart guy, no wonder he gave up.
I know the standard response to this is, c'mon, Matty Jack's just a kid, he's gonna screw up or else its "if you dont like it here start your own blah, blah, blog" but remember, I gave him a chance when he banned me and made up fibs in Nov, his fibs responsible for humiliating Sabrina (with her meltdown "stalking" charges against me), I gave him a second chance after he banned dave. I gave him a third chance after he tried to grab some or all of the credit for the UGOG bannings by MAMZ, I gave him enuff chances to act like a man. Since the comment deleting spisode, he went hysterical, again never owning his BS, but pushing his entire blog to the meltdown point with his latest "donkeytale-style" joke. Four strikes and yur out, regardless.
I like it here. I'm not posting much, not trying to be offensive, staying true to dave's own style, in fact. If she wanst us to move on, she can come and say so. If she stays silent, as she has, then I am guessing we have tacit approval to remain.
I do feel badly for Melvin, who was completely tricked fucked by Matty Jacks latest two games, altho he blames me, natch
Reply to this
[post continued]
Melvin revealed his inner "Ernst Roehm" during his meltdown over Matty's ridiculous attacks againt me, you and n00m after he got caught lying again (the lies confirmed by pager, of all people---she viewed MattyJack's comment before it was deleted and termed it " a tad sketchy on the facts" and wished for MattyJack to come clean on this point also) and called for bannings.
Then he stalked off angrily when MattyJack didnt take his advice (but pretended too), stayed away for a week, and only returned during MattyJack's "donkeytale-style" "joke" dairy. Melvin was re-inflamed at that point for a couple daze, even after MattyJack "explained" his "joke".
Now he's one of the missing and presumed dead. I'm sure he blames me, because to admit that he was trickfucked and manipulated by MattyJack's little game-playing would be too much for him to bear at this stage.
I hope he seeks help for his anger and intolerance of the "whackjobs" (which being gay and a whackjob himself, you would think he might already possess some understanding).
Melvin reminds me of the old skkkool gayz, circa "the boyz in the Band" the self hating, self destructive stereotype. Sort of the antithesis of 4kdtongue's relaxed, at home in his own skin homosexuality.
Melvin, if you are reading this, or commentman (who I know is reading this) please let Melvin know I am concerned about him. And that he made the wright choice dumping Mattyjack, even if he thinks he is dumping me and my fellow trollz. Sometimes, when you are lucky, illusions can save lives. Generally, they are death in life bringing, but for basket cases, illusions often can be the only salvation, when the truth is a self bludgeoning device.
Someday, Melvin, hopefully, you will find some time to reflect and come to a more mature understanding of yourself, which willlead you to viewing "others" more tolerantly.

People are either fakes or suffering from cognitive dissonance. How many times can Jack cheat, before it becomes obvious that he is either the ultimate narcissist or a plant.
Jack's Smirking Revenge:
I didn't read much at FSZ. I liked abbeysbooks and donkeytale. I was into my diaries. I liked reading the archives to catch up on the meta that hadn't been scrubbed.
So Jack basically banned a guy for expressing his freedom of speech at a free speech zone. Otherwise, Lauren S had broken this "unwritten rule" all the time. The rules were nothing illegal, no spamming, and no pedophilia. Maybe the place was meant to be something else, to grow, but with Dave's expose on it, then the follow-up by myself and DonkeyTale, the decision was made to pull the plug. Now it is just another soapblox domain. Whatever Peeder had accomplished is now deleted and destroyed, if in fact anything at all real had ever been accomplished with the Political Flesh Feast. I doubt that PFF actually meant anything. Otherwise, I doubt Peeder would have deleted the domain. Maybe others have different opinions. A lot of those FSZ people aren't even anti Kos like Triv33, Pager, DeeDogg, and Kestrel9000. I wish I could spell- ces la voie?

You guyz are doing a metablog about FSZ and your saying I'm creepy and sad for posting here?
RIOTOUS!
I suppose yur wright, tho. But, y'know, I have no problem accepting "creepy and sad".
It complements "fiendish and diabolical" quite well, dont you think?
Like a crisp dry white with a delicate, poached fish.
I know your hearts in the wright place and I appreciate you guyz reaching out and all, but that kindve mo betta meta schtick you linked to doesnt interest me. Thats Marisacat schtick. Yawning in its predictable repetitveness.
Got anything else?

The meme going around is that this place and/or dfq2 is macabre. I agree with you that meta can be too much and counter-productive. I simply tried my best to help finish up what Dave did. The big picture is what counts most. Political consultants/lawyers are all over DKos. Dave figured out the key players and tied them to the top of the DKos foodchain.
I, too, think it's admirable to try to carry on Dave's vision. I think he would have toned down the meta over time. Maybe if Jack and FSZ hadn't used him for their own agendas, he would've wrapped things up a lot sooner.
I miss that dude. I would have loved to talk some sports with him. I don't think it's macabre to post the available videos of him showing how decent a guy he was. I don't think it's macabre to highlight his blogging career. It was extra cool what he did to Hannity, Lieberman and others. His writing was very good. It is a darn shame that DKos couldn't just let a big tent develop. It really makes me wonder about Kos' cia connections and the other stuff along with his support for KosKops. With Armando, ThereIsNoSpoon, Dana Houle, and so many others, I am grateful I never got into DKos for an extended period of time. It is very important that Dave's story, and all others such as Francis', Marisacat's, DT's, mine- there are too many of us to list... I simply feel that the story has been figured out.
Maybe a forum would be best to have a certain formula for meta, sports, politics, history, current events, etc.. Not to be anal about it... I think a good forum could develop. It would take a lot of luck and having great leadership and vision at the top.

"Macabre" works too. What do they say about words?
None of them really matter, so any of them will do.
The way I look at it, if anybody wants to seek me out badly enufff, they will put aside their fear and enter into dave's haunted house, or wtf the meme is spoosed to be. There are so many memes floating around the whiteysphere anyway, who gives a flying fuck about any single one of them anyway?
Let them come hear if they want. If they don't want, let them go somewhere else.
I have to be really honest with you here, sockrat: my role in these events is finished. The story has been written. It is etched on FSZ, at least until it gets deleted. It now wrights itslef without me.
But hereis what I wanted to say to you, confidentially:
everything is connected in a circle. Everything and everybody. The circle rolls continuously from top to bottom and back around again. It is never ending.
And everything in that circle, the people, the non people, the trollz, the kos kops, and everythng else, needs everything and everybody else within that circle.
Its not a conditional need. Its not a need with motive. Its more basic than that. We need the connection. The winners need the looosers. The loooooosers need the wiineners. Both. Equally. Admin needs the trollz, the regular people need the whackjobs, and vice versa.
When the connection is unnaturally severed is when you have real issues and problems.
This means that a condition of life is that we must connect with lotsa stuff we dont like, stuff we despise and stuff we fear. We must connect with people who are brilliant and diabolical, who are stupid and lucky, who are rich for no reason and most of all, those who are undeservedly poor.
Circular connections exist multitudinously, and are ever more creatable in the infoboob years. overlapping.
The circle has been broken unnaturally at FSZ. This is not a positive development for a number of reasons and doesnt bode well psychically for those who either gleefully or unwittingly
swung the wrekkking ball.
But Melvin was wright, perhaps wrighter than even he knows, when he posted his "FSZ is Dead" dairy at DKOS.

You wants talk sports at a momentous time in the whiteysphere such as this?
Since I posted my GBCW this AM, which will stick this time, especially since I tried to login again and am banned again, Matty Jack has also banned himself, then setup shop at both MLW and Archie M's to set up his latest smokescreen.
Your cointelpro schtick has now been coopted. Apparently, the latest meme is ops are all over the boards, and Jack was just trying "to protect and serve" the "good people", like commmentman, who is now so befuddle he is pulling in his horns and not saying or doing another thing until MattyJack emailz him with further instruction.
RIOTOUS!
This is why I love the Whiteysphere!
My guess is that Mattyjack, having already shredded whatever bits of false credibility he has remaining, will now go out in a crescendo of "glory" in an attempt to forever discredit the Byrons, the sockrats, the donkkkeyturds, et al, whom he blames for his troubles.
Who knows whats really going on? Maybe he's havings econd thots on the whole marriage thing?
RIOTOUS!
OK, I'll talk some sports with you. I was a pretty fair baseball player as a kid, playing the hotly competitive youth leagues of SoCal in the 60s. I started on the varsity squad during my juniour year in high skkkkool but then lost my eligibity to play as senior becuase I stopped attending class.
But what I mot remember was my sophomore year, not so much because I led the JV team in batting but because of our coach, Coach Simonian.
He wasnt really a baseball guy at all, but had been hired primarily as an asst. coach for varsity football. All the coachs were assigned one team at one level for all the other sports seasons.
Coach Simonian was a dark, hairy, powerfully built little Armenian with a hilariously incongruent high pitched voice. He would saunter through the locker room after every game, win or lose, in his jockstrap while the players showered, patting fannies and offering encouragement---this bantam gorilla with his soprano voice...and man, that dude could part the hair all the way down his back, if you know what I mean. What a site!
Bottom line, I had a great year that year, and was awarded "Player of the Year" after the season....and all I can remember now is "Coach Simian" after the game in his jock.
RIOTOUS!
Hows that for sports talk, Sockrat?

Dude, stop calling me Sock Rat.
I was watching the Celtics lose. I was also at my forum writing the same exact thing at my place before reading the new FSZ threads or much of the other stuff. Yes, a lot of shit is happening in real time. I definitely saw how Jack co-opted my ideas. I'm seeing it all. It's gonna take a bit of time for everything to come out in the wash. I do feel vindicated. I have been talking about this kind of thing for over three years. I first sensed it going on at Huffington Post when the Plame thing was going on.
I haven't even finished reading through this one post of yours, just saw your words that my stuff had been co-opted. Yes it has. I'm not buying what's being sold. My initial impression is that this new MattyJack shit is all smokes and mirrors. My gut instinct remains that he is part of the UGOGs, some form of controlled opposition, and that Dave got in the way, then I did, and you supported my rights, as I you, and lately we've been a good team. But please, cut the shit with that sock rat name. I'm not gonna put up with it.
Reply to this
You're talking sports at a time like this? Just kidding. Good story.
Listen, my real name was revealed by my cyberstalker at a mutual forum and then later deleted by the admins. I am planning on filing a police report on that dude. I understand the real life stakes of all of this.
I hope to God Antoinette cuts us some slack and sees the importance of letting our posts through. This is not thread jacking. I'll friggen mail her my college transcripts, if she wants them.
I have a masters in Sociology. Jack is full of it. This whole thing reeks of being made up. Did you see where Jack wrote of political consultants and lawyers? That's what I've been talking about. But he didn't attribute that to me.
Yes, this whole garbage game is about making us look like historic trolls. It's all about covering up the Armando's, the Fingerits, the Bouldins, the Mary Scott O'Connors, the ThereIsNoSpoons, how 'bout the Olbermann dude who keeps posting there?
Ugh, I'm flabbergasted that this asshole, whoever he is, made Dave's final months so much more difficult. If Dave died of natural causes, kind of an if in mine and other's eyes, then at a minimum these creeps added to his stress, especially this Jack's Smirking Chimp. Being ostracised and cybersmeared/ganged is no picnic. I've been through that. I can prove I've been through that. So please, just stop it with calling me sock rat. I do not use sock puppets and I am not a troll. I am a well-educated dude who by luck or whatever ended up on the internet a lot. My last attempts at making it as a blogger was as BradBlog. I know how hurt Dave was from DKos, because I went through the same kind of thing. I exposed an apparent political operative named Steven Hertzberg involved with the election integrity movement. BradBlog ignored my findings. Oh man, I am done trying to prove myself to anyone.
Then I became a player when I shone a bright light on Brett Kimberlin and his ties to that same movement. A well-known freelance reporter said I became a player. I spoke with that dude for two hours about how corrupt the internet is.
And now it seems that it was the BradBlog who gave my cyberstalker my real name and email address. What a country. Not.

Check this out sockrat. Apparently, we are now being hailed as the true heroes that, of course, we always knew we were, in this entire sad episode.
And you, my paranoid friend have turned out to be wright all along....at least for now. This BS about jack have a greater, top secret research job smells to high heaven
But either way, jack has ruined himself. Its either sock rat was wright all along or Jack is just maxxing out his fictional since we sussed out his wittle pffake anarchism.
We ruined his project!
RIOTOUS!
Take a bow sockrate:
And here is commentman, kicked to the kkkurb and out on his dumb arse, maybe once and for all, by the whackerjobby AKA MattyJack, but who knows? Commmentman is sorta like that plastic clown with the bottom weight back in the day, where you punch him the face and he pops wright back up so you can punch him in the face again.
RIOTOUS!
Uh, maybe you want to go back and updae you "whackerjobby" dairy series, looser.
It'll give you something to do while you await further instructions from MattyJack.

The first quote in the comment above was from a comment on FSZ by my attorney, M. Supersoling, esq.
The lack of attribution was a technical error for which the editor apologizes.
Reply to this
Yeah, but why did supersoling make me out to be Satan's love child with Ann Coulter rather than Reese Witherspoon when I first arrived at MyLeftWing? I tried to reason with that guy for why I was going on about the election integrity or lack of it. All I got were Lauren S responses. I want a full apology from that guy. Otherwise, he reeks like a concern troll.
As for CometMan, he has been a big supporter of Velvet Revolution co-founded by BradBlog and the Speedway Bomber and has been attacking me non-stop with ad hominems. See that sig line of his you posted? That was what I wrote. It concerns the Clint Curtis hoax. One of those things involving for instance AnonymousArmy {Number5?} who debunked it. Supersoling asked me for a link to a Booman thread on it. I found it, yet instead of responding to my efforts, I really didn't hear from him until he attacked me at MLW when I first arrived there.
CometMan, he's from Maine. I don't know what to think of him. Maybe some folks have bought the Alexandrovna kool-aid and don't want to believe she could be affiliated with con artists.
The other day, there was a deleted FSZ thread I wanted to try to find via the wayback machine. It was an old one, past six months, the time it takes for archive.org to do its thing. The message was that there was a robots text block on access put by the domain's administrator. MattyJack is gonna delete that whole place, or he's gonna make sure nothing will show up that he and the people he works for doesn't want to be seen. He can delete our individual posts. I think he can even request search engine caches to be deleted. I had a huge thread at Democratic Underground exposing Brett Kimberlin. DU deleted the whole thing. That was why I went to DKos. Dude, I am for real.
Reply to this
Get hold of yurslef here, sock rat. Thats just an affectionate nickname, BTW.
Supersoling admitted he was wrong and you were wright. You cant ever expect these types of people, any of them, including the vox humanas and the supersolings, who are truly in the wright place, to ever come out and fully admit that you were wright.
People require illusions in order to survive this horrible poker hand called life.
There are only a few who truly get it, consistently. Like, ahem...y'know....
And you think after heaping "99"s and abuse for daze, weeks, months and years, the looooosers who have been had by Mattyjack will ever stop and say, "y'know, donkkkkeyturd was wright, after all, wasnt he?"
Course not. So you should see supersolings stating the fact as a huge victory for the ruth over illusion.
As for vox, never forget that he is a christian. What is a "christian?" That is someone who tries to co-opt Christ's message for his own purposes. Nobody can be like Christ, the christians say, so we just pay fealty to his name on Sunday, drop a few dollars in the plate, take communion and try to be as good as our fallen human natures will allow.
Vox came back two or three times after leaving, basically on technicalities.
Christianity is all about the technicalities, so his actions make sense in that context.
Now, you and I may say, he's being trickfucked and probably knows it, but yeah, he should just admit: he's got a blogging jones and he cant let go. Has nothing to do with wright or wong, good or eveil, God or Satan.
It has to do with Vox. Pyrriod.
Jesus, BTW, wasnt a "Christian."
Marx wasnt a "marxist."
Yes, I have already predicted that MattyJack will soon whitescreen the place, and with it will go all the hilarity of the herd animalz on the Animal Farm.
What choice does he have? He is caught in a classic commentman wienie trap, he's either admitted as a cointelpro (or amateur if you believe this is a college research project) or he's a liar. Several times over. He's left himself no other options, so whitescreen seems inevitable. The mustard is now being squirted on him from several directions at once, and one thing that I know is true about Mattyjack: he doesnt wike being the butt of the joke.
Especially when he deserves it.
Now, you should turn your research to "Pinche Tejao" AKA "Pinche Jotot."
Originally he came to PFF trumpeting that he had been banned (as "Fucking Texan") but was going to the next nites DKOS NYC meetup to do a bit of dave/yippie style protesting and tha he would wright it up on PFF the next day.
Well, next day comes and guess what. Pinche Joto had a charming dinner with the kossacks, who were, guess what, regular guyz!!!!RIOTOUS! No activism, no protest, no overturning the moneychangers dinner tables, nothing.
He chatted up MBNYC and liked him!!

Now, in the past week, he's worked his cute little ass off trying to support Matty Jack while the latter works OT to sink the Titanic.
He's playing Herve Villechaize to MattyJack's Ricardo Montalban.
Remember the little gay hispanic midget on Fantasy Island?
Da plane, da plane!
Thats our Pinche Joto, captured in real time.
In the whiteysphere, on Mattyjack's Flea Screech Zone.
And theres more, sockrat. Pinche Joto also claims to have been the mastermind behind Ron Paul's online ATM machine during the 2008 REPUBLIKKKAN primaries and he admits to having worked in the past for Phil Gramm. Thats wright.
Phil Gramm.
The guy who did more than anyone to get Glass-Steagal repealed, primarily because his wife was a bigtime DC banking lobbyist.
So you might check into PJ's story while your at it, too.
He used to claim he was a troll, too, but now claims trollz are dead.
Still, that didnt stop this "dedicated follower of fashion" (great Kinks song)from trolling my dairy yesterday, did it? RIOTOUS!
"donkkkeyturd makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcom X" or wtf.
Wow. Chop me, low Pinche Joto!
OK. Here's one back at you, maricon:
"Pinche Joto makes Penelope Cruz look like John Wayne."
The punkd bitches in my cell block are more manly than MattyJack, commentman and Pinche Joto combined.
I know why these chickenshit whiteysphericos arent seriously pursuing prison reform-----they scared that those same punkd bitches will put it up their gay asses, too, once they are let out of prison.
That must be why Pinche Joto professed his fear of going to jail during the massive "Rally on Wall Street" that wasnt.
Put some lipstick on him and he would look absolutely ravishing to some dude in the cellblock doing 30 years for nothing except being poor.
And did Pinche Joto tell us that his family owns a big South Texas Ranch?
Dude, only very rich, very conservative people own South Texas Ranches. Bet on it.
The jobs with Paul and Gramm, two of the most conservative members in recent TX congressional history (and thats saying more than alot) makes sense, now, don't they?

Hiya Donkster and everyone else. Thanks for your responses. I think what folks need to realise is, if they decide to delve into this stuff, they need to place comments in the given moments. If not, we can misconstrue someone's intent. If something doesn't add up, we needs to ask what was going on at that exact time.
I have been banned from MLW. I was given no warning. If they wanted me to tone done my language, I would have. For the record, they swarmed me with insults and bad words about my character. I went eye for an eye, so to speak.
One thing I am proud of is sticking up for Francis against KarmaStench and for getting in on confronting ThereIsNoSpoon and MSOC. MaryScott should not have dissed activists for wearing Mumia t-shirts, if you get my drift. Hey, kiss Obama's ass all you want. But don't write some kind of opus that sounds like it comes from a triangulation manual.
Hold Obama's feet to the fire. If you want him to win the second term, there is no other choice, imho. Or continue to isolate true progressives and peaceniks. Allow the Republicans the chance to win in 2012, unless you think Obama is playing like last year's Kevin Garnett {a bit of sports for HowadX}.
Obama needs to go F.D.R. style. He needs to emulate historical greatness. No one should be above the law. War criminals need to be held accountable. Fix the economy for the people, not the rich. Hey, it's like if you're friend is messing up, you give them constructive criticism.
I have a few questions. So do you think Jack's Smurfing Revenge, Eric S. at DKos, was the blogging curmudgeon? Or perhaps there is no way to know? I am very curious about this curmudgette. She was #3 at FSZ, meaning probably #2 because I think Mr. Soapblox is #1, not sure. Anyway, I smell something fishy about that whole thing. She says she tracked down curmudgeon's internet activities, that he was portraying himself as women and had tons of sock puppets, crazy allegations if true. She even said she called his office.
I don't understand why she doesn't reveal her real name. She blogs so much. She's not a "troll" like us. :) So why the secrecy? Plus, her husband is a marine? That doesn't sound copacetic.
By the way, please do not call me sock rat. I do not use sock puppets. And I guess I should also add that Eric S. denies being ShadowThief. And another thing, is ShadowThief definitely curmudgeon? And where did this curmudgeon go to? It's rare for bloggers to just go away like this. Maybe curmudgeon/curmudgette was as staged a brouhaha as Jack's gangsta thing from FSZ?
{continued- just a few more ideas}
Reply to this
So Jack's Smirking Revenge is from Long Island. That is ironic. Dave seems to have gotten Fingerit's attention by going after certain Long Island rightwing arses named Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin.
Newbies should check out dfq's "Lessons of Long Island" diary at DKos. Also check out his series from many months before then to do with his adventures with Hannity's friend Mark Levin. I found it very obvious that Fingerit was running interference for rightwingers affiliated with Fox News.
Now, there is a poster at MLW named Phil I. Stine, and he appears to be a producer for Fox News. Hmmm. So Jack is from Long Island. I've always sensed since I delved into this stuff that FSZ has been a scripted opposition to the KosKops. I think Dave was headed in that direction also, if he wasn't already there. And I see how MSOC even used to read at Political Flesh Feast. The Fox producer is her good friend. Other good friends of hers appear to be political operatives who are pro-Daily Kos such as Karma Fish and "ThereIsNoRape if the woman is drunk"- wow.
I guess I feel like you DT, in that the stories kinda tell themselves. And even if there is wholesale deletions, scrubbings and prunings, enough of us have blabbered out our own interpretations to let folks know something is very fried with the blogosphere.
I feel good right now. I am hopeful. If two people like ourselves who have been targeted for ridicule and misrepresentation can find a way to get our messages out, then there will always be hope for the internet. Maybe I am a dreamer, but I won't steal a John Lennon tagline.
{off-topic: I think KG might pull a Willis Reed at some point. Godspeed for Danny Ainge. The weather was nice today here in Boston despite suspicious synthetic cirrus formations. Uhm, just trying to show I am not all meta all the time. Er, oh yeah, I can confirm that DT is from Texas like he has claimed in the past, for what it's worth. Uhm, maybe it all does come out in the wash? And thank God the reader decides.}
that's my story and I'm sticking to it

I have been banned from FSZ. My password no longer works.
Jack is saying myself and donkeytale are operatives sent in to disrupt forums and stifle Dave's story. I don't know donkeytale other than from when we met each other at FSZ. If "Jack" was trying to quell the situation, he has made it a lot worse, imho.
I had a post ready to go here earlier, but there was a glitch or something and it kept going into comment moderation.
I believe the actions of soapblox big wigs are speaking for themselves. They have confirmed my suspicions that "Jack" is not who he seems. All indications are that he is some form of modern day cointelpro.
Reply to this
I'll add one more thing, because it's four am and I need the shut-eye. Here is where Jack has messed up. How come a "crazy kook" all of a sudden becomes some ingenius political operative. I was reading through some of those FSZ threads. "Jack's" gangsta type voice is gone. His best bet would have been to just keep his mouth shut.
So why all this attention to what is being said here? I see only one logical explanation. I have two masters. I may be a bit goofy, but I have nailed this story. Since the reader decides, the decision has been made to not ignore me. So they get in these last pokes, vox humana and supersoling say whatever with none of it being grounded on reality, and then the whole thing gets pushed into the historic memory hole.
But seriously, how does a "kook" like me all of a sudden become a paid operative sent in to cover up Dave's story? The donkeytale angle I can see as plausible, especially with him continuing to call me a sock rat.
Whatever. I have notified all my media contacts of what is going on. I will repeat what Dave wrote about "Jack" many months ago. Somehow in a strange way I am grateful to him for coming up with this crazy scam of a limited hangout. In the long run I will be seen as a martyr just like Dave was.
He expects Antoinette to believe that I am trying to keep her and other media contacts from getting the FSZ side of the story? Whatever. Antoinette and other media know who I am in real life. I'm not the3 one who banned Dave and called Michael Fingerit, Michael Bouldin, and other political operatives regular guys. "Jack" is the one who doesn't even allow their real names to be mentioned, even when it is clear as day that they are the real life political operatives. I believe that "Jack" is either Michael Fingerit or someone associated with him. Not for one second do I buy his new story of FSZ being some kind of sociological experiment. Seeing that I have a masters in that subject and can prove it, based on all we now know about Dave's history with FSZ and DKos/UGOGs, I believe that FSZ is toast.
By the way a robot block has been placed on the wayback machine for FSZ. I believe the attorney general of New York should investigate this whole scam and all these fockers perverting the internet should face criminal charges.

Jack's Smurfing Revenge is not the Blogging Curmudgeon. He has outed his real name. He has in the past made it known that he is Eric S from DKos.
http://www.youtube.com/user/agentb27
Apologies to Eric for ever considering he has been part of the zoo like atmosphere on these blogs. I may not agree with him on all Israeli/Palestinian issues, but that doesn't mean he hasn't also been used and abused by Jack's Smirking Revenge, a man who appears to be affiliated to Michael Fingerit, Michael Bouldin, and other insidious internet bloggers.

Why did you think that in the first place. Blogging Curmudgeon is better known as Shadowthief, who is the actual "king of all Sock puppets" not me, as that nitwit Susan Something misstated in the "Stalking Sabrina" dairy.
But looky here...I just posted this schtick over at MLW and someone popped up with a very interesting timeline which indicates that Pinche Joto like to tell a few stretcher himslef. Not that thats surprising.
Reply to this
I am new to this curmudgeon versus curmudgette thing. Didn't Blogging Curmudgeon used to make a lot of good posts? If so, and same with Curmudgette, then what explanation is there other than a cointelpro-like infestation? I am tired of people like Susan who don't take the goodwill effort to help out. She didn't make one post here while Dave was alive. That was a factoid I found quite striking at the time she told me you were bad news. Dude, I can't throw anyone under the bus unless they make it apparent by their own words and actions, such as with Fingerit, Bouldin, and Company. As for Pinche Tejano, I have seen some inconsistencies from him. I don't trust one person at FSZ and MLW at this point. They all seem to be missing the big picture. How many times has KarmaFish said that he can't figure out the UGOGs and then asks why should he give a sh*t? Do you hear me, big guy?
I see the thread going at MLW you started. I haven't read through it yet. Though I see it looks like Tejano got caught in a whopper with extra cheese like you say. Now why do people like him and Jack so blatantly lie? To me it appears to be proverbial smoke and mirrors. And at the same time, so many are saying forget about that SockRat and what he has uncovered. Well, I am tired of the tread marks on my back from the bus. I am willing to even send Antoinette copies of my transcripts and diplomas. I already told her my real name.
Here is the link to your MLW thread, for the readers here, if they are interested.
Hopefully Antoinette can see that we are trying to flesh out some world series of META which seems to have hit a climax in real time. I wish I could join in at MLW, but because of my potty mouth, I have been sent to the showers. And I'm not gonna go the zombie route for that place. Same with FSZ. I figure, how many times can one hammer the nail in?

Shadowthief was a character, a very astute blogger who was able to do multiple personas, even females, quite well. I never had a problem with him, of course, but I did out him as "Veronica teh Viking" on PFF, and Byron clinched by exposing that a picture "veronica" posted of herslef was actually some picture of another female on flickr.
He was at FSZ for awile in the beginning. His genius is that he could be anyone of us, anywhere. Remember the Nov banning? Jack blamed it on "shadowthief" altho he wasnt posting there anymore by that point. Its like cometman thinking anyone who remotely makes a point that I mite make at FSZ is actually me using a sock. I dont use socks either. But Shadowthief added that paranoid element that is now entrenched....its even been said that you are Shadowthief, and you do have a quality about you.........well, if you cool, but if yur not, I like you fine as you are. Sorry about teh sockrat. If it really bugs you I'll quit. Actually, I dont like that you use the name "socrates." I dont like that other dude using "diogenes," either. I liked you fine as Prepostericity. That name sounded more hip.
Look, dude. I get yur schtick about the cointelpro, but the real point you make to me is that people act like this in groups online for god knows whatever reason, whetehr they are paid or not, they act that way anyway. Emulating Kops. Yeccch. "Pwoggies?" Wtf?
I cant believe that there are cointelpros wasting there time, especially at a small scale blog like DKOS, even.
DKOS is small scale, believe it or not.
If you look at it a certain way, everyone is cointelpro.
But they are not paid. They are just fucked up busybodies without decent or original schtick, so they act like Lauren S, or Deedog, Flaw, or the other Kos Kops. Human nature. White middle class herd animalz. Look around dude. They are fucked up in RL too.
I believe these posters, sadly, are mostly just addicted like the rest of us. They may be evil, too, but not necessarily paid agents. They do it for sport, for the lulz, as it were.

donk,
Good to hear some of that good old realistic analysis from you. Hope we bump into each other in the cyber-future, though we're not at all the same type. And that's a good thing. Looks like J.G. Ballard died today; always meant to read him but never have. The enlightenment belief in inevitable social (in part because of the wonders of technology) progress was one of the things he was most 'anti'. I remember that realizing that same thing was a big step forward in the growth of my realism.

Sh*t that didn't make much sense. Meant to add that you're a great source of growth in realism about the whiteysphere too. Didn't have to read Ballard, I had me donkeytale. ;-)

If I had to guess, I would say this ShadowThief dude could be Number5. Now did ShadowThief write lies? Or was he sincerely trying to make it a better world through blogging? That's all that really matters. Curmudgette, on the other hand, acts all prim and proper, moves up the food chain to work with a real world name like MeSoc, and she is set on portraying ShadowGuy as being bad news.
I picked socrates when I was a pure nobody. Now that I am a nobody with an internet identity, it just so happens that was the username I started with. Like you, I am not into sock puppets. Like you, I have consistently been accused of sock puppetry. Even when I have gone back as a zombie, I have always been the one to out myself. I am into facts. I am into making this a better world. I am also trying to figure out how to use the word I less. :)
When I use the word cointelpro, I nearly always throw in the modifier cointelpro-like.
These people we have outed as fakes, they act just like they are working out of cointelpro manuals. There is merit to what you say. They could be twisted just like people in the real world. Into groupthink. Into developing loyalty for anyone as long as they are perceived to be on their side.
Yet, I do think Fingerit and Bouldin are paid to be KosKops. I believe Jack is affiliated to them. Just a coincidence he is from Long Island? When Abbeysbooks got targeted, it was after she went after lawyers. Dave got targeted when he went after Hannity, Levin, and others from Long Island. I don't think these are FBI, so I agree this is not cointelpro. But they are lawyers and political consultants who have much in common with cointelpro. Heck, maybe Fingerit is tied into some kind of black operation. I doubt he does what he does for free. You think Michael Fingerit's computer activities have been done for free?
Here's an example of what I'm saying. Look at Brett Kimberlin. The guy is a proven con artist. On one level it would be easy to suggest he may be part of cointelpro. Isn't cointelpro all about infiltrating peace movements and destroying them from within? But then again, he may simply be a confidence man with cointelpro-like characteristics. Fingerit could be a political consultant thug with cointelpro-like characteristics. The only person who appears to have been proven to be involved with the FBI is Hal Turner. But that is where things get strange. For who is Hal a buddy of? Sean Hannity from Long Island. Maybe Tejano is a spook?

How 'bout calling me Soc, or any kind of nickname that wouldn't make me seem to have sock puppets. Though, I do admit it never bugged me too much. I pictured you as James Cagney going, "You dirty sock rat."
I think these ptb's have always hated folks like us- too original.
Supersol., KarmaFish, et al really needs to stop attacking me. It seems a bit too forced.

I scoured through current FSZ and MLW threads looking for answers. I don't understand how the Blogging Curmudgeon simply disappeared from all these blogs as a result of Curmudgette's alleged cyber-sleuthing. The only quotes that seem worthy of being added to this discussion are from Jack's Smirking Revenge, as he tries to return order to his totally discredited website.

Here's one more thing I'd like to add. The UGOG website is still active. They have in recent times continued with their assaults on specific usernames.
At DKos I noticed that the UGOGs not banned like Bouldin, Shriver {DadaNation}, and TaylorMattD are playing dumb. I saw how Pager and TayloyMattD had some sort of reconciliation.
Jack is trying to twist this as myself covering up the story of DailyKos and political consultants perverting democratic processes by turning the focus solely on Dave. What I see are insidiously crafter rabbit holes and limited hangouts are being spun to prevent newbies, fence-sitters, and interested reporters from getting to the true story.
What Jack is doing to me is nothing new. I've seen other internet fakes before this on numerous occasions co-opt the messages of sincere bloggers. E.G. There have been fake neo-nazis spreading divide and conquer hate dialogue talking about cointelpro. Look at the UGOG/KosKops or even go further back and look at the DKos career of Armando. They co-opt the idea of troll busting. As to the recent developments, it can be seen that Jack has co-opted my true motivation as a {retired} sociologist, who has been trying to out the established fact that lawyers and political consultants are perverting freedom of speech and association on the internet.
that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

I just checked the stats for the Daily Kos defender, MyLeftWing.com. If Alexa has any accuracy at all, this is bizarre.
Granted MLW allows for a bit of whining about DKos, but MeSOC clearly puts a lid on how much opposition one can muster against the Evil Orange. With KarmaFish and ThereIsNoSpoon being MaryScott's close friends, not to mention the Fox News producer, Phil I. Stine, along with how Francis Holland's work covering MAMZ was completely and unfairly trashed, MyLeftWing appears to be some kind of honey pot for those who get fed up with the hate dialogue at DKos.
Is some kind of robot program in place to make MLW appear more popular than it truly is?
Apparently its numbers are up 50% over the last three months.

Hi abbeysbooks. I hope you are able to see FSZ for what it truly is and stop posting there. I think in due time you will be able to find a new and better place for expression. Perhaps you could post here more often, and then at some point a forum which enables greater dialogue and opportunities to write diaries could complement your work here.
I think the #1 problem is information overload combined with divide and conquer tactics. The blogospheric ptb's do not want individuals to form groups in which integrity, critical thinking, and respect form the bedrock for our associations and results.
There are tricks to the trade. While I am not a big reader of Marisacat's forum, there is a wealth of information there on Maryscott O'Connor and her Kos supporting website MyLeftWing. For instance, one can try the following.
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=+site%3Awordpress.com+marisacat+MSOC&fp=1I9D6aBDMKs
For google for example, one can search for things within specific domains. You'll see a link on google called more results from, or simply type in:
Cybersleuths like myself are ostracised. We are called stalkers and sufferers of asperger's or living in the basement.
No matter how bad it ever looks, and this also pertains to the excellent work done by Dave; The truth is really out there, and most importantly, the reader does decide.
Now I agree that my find at Alexa is quite puzzling. The other day, the statistic crept up to 63.3% of MLW readers coming from India. That is bizarre.
Now the beauty of overcoming divide and conquer is that sincere individuals can join forces, kind of like in a seminar type atmosphere. You are to be commended for supporting Dave when he really needed it. Same with Antoinette.
Wow. I just checked out Alexa again for MyLeftWing.com.
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/myleftwing.com
67.8% of readers are coming from India.
MLW is ranked 38,804 in India and 363,855 in the U.S.. [/confused smilie]
That has to be some kind of robot program. I think it has to do with insidious efforts to get MyLeftWing to stay visible in the search engines.
But to get back to my point before. When individuals work together in good faith and flesh out ideas, in let's say a safe haven rather than in a fake free speech zone, then the insidious elements are less able to pigeon-hole us.
The attacks on Dave were all about putting his ideas through a cookie-cutter. The lesson of Dave and of anyone who truly believes in blogging as democratic and based on great truths and the promotion of positive social movement, is that the facts, theories, and whatnot provided by well-meaning people will be ignored, then mocked, then pigeon-holed by astroturfers. It's basically about attacking the messenger rather than the message, since the messages are based on academic priciples and the desire to truly save the planet. DKos and its offshoots are merely part and parcel of the status quo.

I actually am a bit worried for that lady. She is clearly unbalanced, being manipulated, and heading in a downward spiral. She actually makes donkeytale look like Mr. Rogers in comparison. Talk about a potty mouth and salty, sailor talk.
There are actually better results for google if one inserts site:wordpress.com MSOC.
One problem is that google search results can be manipulated. There are methods used to make sure cached paged are lost. There are also limitations to the wayback machine. E.G., one can plug in political flesh feast and only be able to see a few front pages, nothing more. For some reason, political flesh feast pages aren't showing up one iota in any caches. Did Peeder make sure PFF would go down a memory hole?
Anyway, that's a digression for now.
MSOC has a new expression called eat it with milk. Has she no shame? Does she not worry that her son will someday find out these things? What about this one?

HowardX, Supersoling, Curmudgette, and many others come out of the woodwork acting like they are some kind of authority on internet fakery. Except for myself and abbeysbooks, not one other person has followed through on Dave's later work.
I am the one who Jack's Smirking Revenge has co-opted for his most recent limited hangout.
Everything coming out from Melvin, ComtMan, Lauren S, Mattes, and many others is simply noise.
And what about Mattes, that divisive anti-semitic who used to link directly to disinfo peddler Michael Rivero in "her" signature? There is cointelpro all over the internet. It's just impossible to prove these are bloack operations. Thus I'm the one who gets smeared as being a looney tunes conspiracy theorist.
And what's MeSoc have up for her latest rant? She's all mad at Obama for not prosecuting war criminals. The title of her rant is Hypocrisy. What a joke this whole blogosphere is. Only last week or so she was going the triangulation route bitching about Mumia t-shirt wearers attacking Obama. Got astroturf? Time to up that medication, Mary Scott O'Connor. Maybe it's time to give KarmaFish a raise.

They want to renegotiate.

That was great Howard.
DTale,
I want Antoinette to understand that at this time I wish to disassociate myself in my professional capacity from Mssr.Donkey(Salty Sailor)Tale.
While I regret having to make this decision it is only resonable in light of the recent tarnishing of my good name at the 5 Star Weblog known as FSZ.
Since it has now commenced to cleaning it image and jettisoning it's less desirable members I feel compelled to shine my own ass as a means of blog survival.
While this split certainly is a sad occasion in no way should it signal in any way that I intend to sever all contact with Mssr. Tale.
I'm hopeful that he will see the wisdom of Captain Jack's wayz and commence to properly coming his coat so as to fit in, i.e. become indistinguishable from the rest of the herd.
Should his udders one day produce the skim milk that is now the currency of merit at 5 Star Weblog FSZ I will reconsider this decision to sever professional ties.
In conclusion,
Moo

Death and hatred to mankind? This guy sounds just like the toxic that comes out of Melvin. Both of them along with Mattes, Deedog, and CometMan have been all over me in ad hominem style for my expose on Larisa Alexandrovna and Brett Kimberlin.
I can't prove it, because Darrell deleted the HoldThePickles website, but after I had praised HowardX at my website, I saw him take a swipe at me. He called me out as crazy or to that effect. Above in that quote he called Dave crazy. This guy is not a friend of this website.
And the irony gets to be ultra-rich.
Pot meet kettle by HowardX:

One can look at HowardX's posts at DKos and somewhat see what led to him being banned. He was on the "pro-Palestinian" side attacking a woman who claimed that her parents were gravely ill.
Now, granted it was the KosKops who took him out, but according to RustyPipes, it was confirmed that the story was true.
HowardX did nothing for Dave but was a KosKop about it. Just like Melvin of late. He also has tons of posts at DU, but I haven't looked into them yet. Your story, DonkeyTale, does seem to hold water, and for that, I offer you respect.

I saw one line where you said Jack made the right decision, but for the most part, yes, you showed that Dave was aware of the rules and did not feel he had broken them.
Melvin appears to be too over the top with his anger, imho. There is never a shred of vulnerability. I think we display that at times, which makes our writings more accessible to the unwashed readers.
I too believe this is no outlet for nasty ad hominems. The thing I have to be wary of is the Larry Bird rule. Other teams would always send their 11th guy on the bench to try to get both of them thrown out of the game. Larry never fell for that one. Yet, that also meant he was never afraid to go after Dr. J..
I don't much care for tussling with no names like Melvin. The thing I got about Dave was that he was going after real names, names with influence.
Dude, we are like Seinfeld and George Costanza. You are having a rebirth over at MLW, while I struggle to get gigs selling chicken on tv ads.
Two of the triplets were banned. Trashablanca is still there. The KosKops and fake liberal atmosphere is still there. What could really break this thing wide open is if someone can tie any of the real names to the FBI and/or to someone like Sean Hannity. That will take real world reporting.
I think what you are missing is that the blogosphere does have real world influence. Though I totally agree with you how lame all the forums are in regards to producing collective activism or the outrageous stretch of imagination where people like CleverGuy82 talk about "our" and "community." I believe Dave was targeted for two reasons. He brought about the possibility for collective activism. Secondly, he went after the wingnuts from Long Island.
I see FSZ as going back to focusing in on the polarization of the Israel/Palestine issue. I believe that was why the place was first set up. Though, it was also meant to gobble up the PFF mojo.
I also see how Ormond Otvos is seemingly a part of the script. He has a thread up at FSZ for keeping the "Jack" meta in one thread.
They continue to go with the meme that we are thread hijackers and trolls. That is ridiculous. I tended to stay on my own diaries or get in on meta elsewhere. If anything, my blogging as a whole has been hijacked and trolled on.
Anyway, we won, and they lost. We done good.
I sure wish I hadn't been banned by MeSoc. Hey, who do you think MajorFingerit is? {/evil laugh}
p.s. sometimes you can think like them and beat them at their own games. But you don't like to strategerize in private. But one time me and this other bloke had a fake fight {after a real one}, and it really through off the disinfo trail.

I believe what you refer to as 'the right decision" by MattyJack was when he banned dave, I believed temporarily, at the time dave was going to breakkk his momentous disclosure. MattyJack was correct to force dave to make the disclosure on his own blog. I'm a firm believer in mistrust. Mistrust, disbelief, incredulity, these are all excellent traits when applied to all human beings objectively. In other words, apply to your wife kidz, mommy, daddy, grandma, grandpa, and of course:
to yourslef, first and foremost. We damage ourselves the most when we forget to step outside ourselves and view it objectively.
Most people, I find, not only dont do this, but have never even heard of the concept.
It is nothing less than a teaching of Jesus, but of course Jesus teaching is completely meaningless, since G.O.D. doesnt exist.
Atheism is certainly convenient.

Hi donkeytale, I have developed my own system for figuring out whether someone is a troll or not. Do they try to clarify rather than obfuscate? Do they ignore tough questions or answer them? Every time I have asked you those kinds of things, you have passed the troll test.
The Celtics are on in a few minutes, so I'll make this brief. Apparently we have been unbanned by Jack. But no way whatsoever will I ever make another post there. None of them pass the troll test. I have uncovered a lot in the last few days. When I get the chance I will write it up at my own forum with probable cross-posts. I think you have done a good job with your cross-posts. In short, because this should be a good hoops game, what we have been accused of, of being troublemakers and sh*t stirrers, just is not the truth. It is beyond the beyond what is going on. It is as if these fockers are studying my ever post and trying their best to make it seem that I am part and parcel of their schemes. Hey, I know that sounds off the wall. And I refuse to suffer fools. So I do what I do to back up my theories. That doesn't make me a conspiracy theorist. That makes me someone who is unwilling to allow others define for the public who I am and what I have blogged.
By the way, Laura has started PFF version 3.

I wont be posting there. The Celts are toast without Garnett. Is he out for the year? I havent been following it too much.
I'm rooting for CLE in the East and HOU in the west. I like Houston because they are more competitive without MacGready. They have Artest and Battier, two well known, gritty, in your face defensive-minded NBA trollz.
Somebody registered "donkeytale" at PffugeeCamp. I was truly on the pffence about posting there anyway, but this pretty much clinches it.

I'm sorry someone has stolen your username. All these places are reading like organised disinfo.
I believe in rules. But they need to be applied to everyone, from the webmasters to the newbies. Free speech zones do not work.
Marcuse said we have to be intolerant of tolerance. When all sides are allowed, the status quo will always prevail.
The forum ptb's love to work the Israeli/Palestine issue from all angles. It feels scripted. The cybersmear attacks started on me in 2007 after I came out against the Israeli govt. policies but for Jewish people.
So you end up with a big thread at MLW complaining about liberals tolerating hate speech against Jewish people. That's simply not the truth. The hate speech against Jews has been coming from the right. Jeff Rense, Michael Rivero, and Willis Carto are all from the right.
There is a forum called Progressive Independent. It is like a version of PFF or MLW for Democratic Underground. They portray themselves as leftist. But then it turns out they have been sponsoring the What Really Happened website. WRH can be tied to holocaust deniers, even to a dude named Curtis Maynard. Tinoire runs PI. She is ex-military. She is kind of like Mattes but more influential. Last year she promoted Ron Paul. True lefties do not support Ron Paul and Michael Rivero. They simply don't. It also doesn't help that she is associated with Wayne Madsen and Jeff Wells.
This is why I try to get people to think outside of the soapblox {I made a funny}. The disinfo and one-sided moderating is going on EVERYWHERE.
Sports: Tracy McGrady, I know what you mean. Remember Bob MacAdoo?
The reason the Celtics won last year is because the big three had always been the big cheese on their teams but had never won anything. They had gotten every kind of respect except for the trophy of being champion. They didn't care about their stats. They bought into the Celtic tradition of teamwork. Good thing too. They are nearing their mid thirties, so it is a small window.
Ainge set it up good, though. Each year one of the big three's contract will be over. So they either resign for less, or they are gone. Marbury is even buying into the team play. The Celtics are winning, imho, because of Ainge. He's been a genius with the draft. Rondo is the real deal. Big Baby Davis is underrated.
Did you know Eddie House once scored 61 pts. in a college game?
Ok. Here's the lowdown on Garnett. And yeah, anyone but LA, please. I don't like Kobe, and I think their team is kind of soft anyway. They have an aura of entitlement. I respect San Antonio. They are humble about it. Houston, yeah, Yao seems old school.
Garnett would have had surgery already if he was done. He came down funny on an alley-oop. There are bone chips and some kind of tendon something. He needs surgery, but it's not like he can't play. It's a matter of how much can he play and for how long. Watch for KG to return for the conference finals against Cleveland for about 20 minutes a game.

Marcuse taught in the Cal State college if I recall, circa the 1960s. He was considered a philo God in some circles.
If his statement is true then isnt the inverse also true, that we must be tolerant of intolerance?
Everybody needs to grasp hold of everybody else, to embrace each other warmly even if we disagree precisely because of our differences.
I stood away from the info boobtubez over the weekend, for the most part because I had work to complete and because I felt that a definitive chapter in the brief history of whiteysphere has been written, and that it needs to be placed within context before I can go on. If I go on. I could end it here and be legend.
Frau Tale is out of town at the moment, attending to a house that we own, used to be proud of teh fact, but now, since we arent living there any longer and the, uh, housing market has tanked, feels like an albatross nibbling my butt hairz.
Normally, this would be the type of weekend where I accomplish zilch in RL, in excahnge for tossing perals of wisdom into whiteysphere, ad nauseum, and freaking everybody out, boring them death with trifling irrelevancy, lack of news acumen, lack of interest in politics.
O'Bama won. He is kicking ass for the moment. Its too early to be either complimentary or critical. A CEO cant be judged on micro merits. You have to see the entire program laid out over time and whether he succeeds. You also have to see how he reacts in a crisis. We truly havent seen this yet, but after 16 consecutive years of two complete horses asses at the helm, O bama will have a relatively easy time keeping people's support. Like Reagan, in a different way, he connects with people and they will give him the benefit of the doubt. It helps that he is young and African American. No question, he has reversed the tables.
I here older white people grumbling about O'Bama and whether its true or not, the grumbling cant help but sound racist, sore-looser-like back talk without a whiff of honesty about it.
The Hannitization of America. RIOTOUS!
I'm thinking HOU has the only chance to stop LA in teh West. Neither DAL or SA seem to be at peak this year, they are aging and not coming up with much help for their starz. I havent watched the regular season at all, but Battier is a strong defender and so is Artest. I think they hold their own with Kobe and whoever. Inside, you have Yao versus Pao. Weird. Not remotely as epic or heroic as Wilt vs Russell, but what you gonna do?
Of course, the whole world will want to see Kobe vs. King James in the final.
I gotta go with CLE in the event of that matchup.
There is no denying Kobe's ability on many nights he is as great as anybody ever, but not every night.
James, OTOH, is a beast who plays like a combination of Magic and Jordan.
He is so great that even on off nights he does enough in other areas to help his team win.

Marcuse was all about saying the military-industrial complex was a bane to our existence. All those cats were into inter-disciplinary stuff. Freud. Marx. They were jacked and pumped to get to America having to flee Hitler. You know the scoop. Something about a cultural wasteland, and how America ain't what it's cracked up to be.
I think the truth is rather simple. We as Americans are raised to feel special and to speak our minds. The few of us who are both down-to-earth yet obnoxious got our asses whupped on the net. You were one of the earliest. I hear ya on being a legend. How can we be considered anything else from all this hoopla that always centers itself around friggen nobodies?
By the way, we got a complete white-out today. The forecast was for hot and sunny. I checked out the radiosonde readings. Relative humidity at every level never advanced past 25%. So you get NASA saying humidity is crucial, but then they move the goal posts and say those darn balloons always underestimate the true humidity levels.
Anyway, I see us as part of an eclectic group of dimestore philosopher/bloggers, not quite good or obnoxious enough to get tenured Professor gigs who went to the internet with the Opie like innocence that we could make a difference.
So we have different languages. I don't see it that you are apolitical. I see it as you have had specific messages, and the internet ptb's target people like you for ridicule. God forbid anyone tells it likes it is. Man, I've been on about internet fakes for two years. I realise some of these are useful idiots. I caught some guy using a sock puppet at DKos to support his pretentious diary.

I, too, could retire from the blogosphere and unless my stuff got deleted, I would always have my place in the lore.
MyLeftWing is up to a 70% audience from India according to Alexa.
We deserve to be able to move on and blog in peace. Who wants to feel like they've been run off the net?
I take great pleasure in exposing pretentious fake progressives. I find the Sean Hannity's and Limbaughs kind of self-evident. And Dave and now Antoinette and others seem to be able to take care of them.
Obama could put up a Kobe Bryant like 10 for 32 night shooting and as long as there aren't riots in the street and he puts on good press conferences, he will always be winning the all-star mvp trophies.
Dude, thank you for Kendrick Perkins. That kid was incredible tonight. 19 rebounds and 7 blocks. Paul Pirce went nuts in the fourth and overtime after playing sluggish. Rajon Rondo, wow. He is averaging a triple double. Perk is from Texas.
I think the refs are cheating. It's as if the point spread means too much. I'm not one to say David Stern can direct who wins. I'm not that loony. But for real, the refs are so bad, that maybe that one ref who got busted last year isn't the only one.

That guy Gordon on the Bulls is incredible. He's like Bernard King, unstoppable. But the refs, yikes, talk about phantom fouls.
I could have sworn someone was saying KG might be back for the next series.
San Antonio is cooked. I only meant I respected what they did over the years. What's up with the Nuggets? I would put them ahead of the Lakers. Yeah, Kobe is the guy you want if you're playing video games. But does he make his teammates better? I don't think so.
Lebron is the best. He seems to have a respect for the history of the game. But Cleveland had a mediocre road record.
There is something to the Celtic's mystique too. If KG comes back, the C's will still be underdogs, and then things could get very interesting.
The C's easily handled Cleveland during the year without KG. Although that was a home game. Rondo, Perkins, and Big Baby Davis have improved so much. I don't think the rest of the country realises that yet.
As for Marcuse, you make a good point. But he was coming from the outlook that the status quo is the problem. He was saying that we need to be intolerant of the status quo, kind of the way Antoinette bats them down. She has more natural ability and dignity in her pinkie, than Sean Hannity does in his whole hand. Yikes, I just stole a quote from John McEnroe. He said that about Ivan Lendl {sp?}. That was a good one.
The Pffugeecamp is a way station. It is just another soapblox noise chamber. The only difference is no one seems to get banned. So if someone wants to post there, they have the right to be ridiculed.
It's over. Peeder blew it. He should have just started to be King Solomon and put up some rules. Guys like us get a bad wrap as disruptors and that we use sock puppets, but if there were some rules, people like us could blog in peace.
Isn't the true lesson of the whitosphere that independent thought is not allowed, that such people will be goaded into emotional responses and whatnot and led down a path where rules are applied unevenly?
So what we need is a forum, a big one, where the leadership truly understands the need for good moderating. The problem with MLW, DKos, and Democratic Underground is that the herd can be crass and rude, so the illusion is given that it is a saloon. Then suckers like us get bounced. That's how I see it.
Plus, I see a lot of outright disinfo being circulated on the internet. That's why I think I get harrassed so much. I proved a lot, but the blogospheric ptb's respond that no one is listening and no one cares. Then they spread lies that such and such gets banned everywhere, that they are blog wreckers, etc..
We done good donkeytale. We may not be perfect, but it's obvious that the major forums are closed shops. Otherwise, real communities would have formed. A guy like Mike Gravel might have been elected, not a corporate guy like Obama. I'm assuming Gravel is a good guy.
The war would have already ended. Bush and Cheney would be on the dockets, along with Condi, Yoo, uhm et al.

It's all semantics. Being tolerant of intolerance is the same way as saying some intolerance is good. Intolerant of Nazis good.
But if we're gonna be tolerant of intolerance, we need impartial arbiters to make sure there is no cheating. Laura is hands off. Jack was a cheater. Peeder was basically in over his head.
I think Peeder took the easy way out. He should have tried to create a forum and be the man. Hey, find people you trust to be moderators. I know....easier said than done.
The internet is corrupt. Is there even one forum where there is no trolling allowed but without the "state-sponsored" trolling? I don't see it.
If someone could put one of those together, I think Dave even thought about the possibilty, I think it would be a success. But then an astute old timer hippie like you knows that cointelpro ain't no tinfoil theory, that it would take an extraordinary person or people to put such a productive forum together.
Thus it seems like we are trolls, but who can realistically argue that the major forums are any good, that they aren't just out to make money off of the "progressive" brand.
true progressives are anti-war, anti-military. They don't have fox producers or thereisnorape and armandos running around.
It would be a balancing act. How to protect those who play fair and weed out the bad guys without making too many mistakes.
Maybe by exposing the blogs, the few of us have set the course for the kids to come up with something good with the net. Otherwise, it is all going towards Arianna Huffington type mega-supermalls, where the common blogger has no chance at all to move up any food chain.

I spent the weekend in solitude, celebrated a bit after copping plea and avoidng probation or punishment of any kind, sentenced to: time served. 3 lousy daze. RIOTOUS!
I completed the work I needed done, I watched some bball in the evenings, drank some Shiner bohemian black lager and smoked some decent weed, for once. All with the benevolent Frau's most kind permission. As long as I stayed home, out of trouble.
"He saw that it was good and it was good."
RIOTOUS!
OK. I read where Sejemojo said on camp pffugee that no one had reserved "donkeytale." OK. So I went back in and I typed in donkeytale, went thru all those hoops, created my own password, and read the secret code, "gzodik", I think was mine, and when I submitted it some red words came back saying something like: "invalid username already exists" or wtf. I would have written it down, but like I said, better weed than usual.
Actually, it doesnt really matter whether I'm in or not. In a way, I'm glad I cant get in. Save me lotsa time and trouble. Pffugee Camp looks feels and smells like a waystation.
The whole idea reminds me of bird shit splattering on the windshield. Just kinda yucky and always there, but otherwise you ignore it and hope the next meta rain storm washes it away.
The "words" of Jesus resonate with me, precisely because I am a non-Christian.. Its all in the context. Of course, the particular genius of teh New Testament is that we get multiple Jesuses, which shows the inability of men to even settle on a common mythology. At the same time. Jesus becomes everyman's Jesus, which makes so much sense in the info boobtubez era, where multitudinous variations of reality co-exist, however uneasily and untenably.
My Jesus is warrior against delusional hypocrits, a criminal who breaks enough petty laws that when he commits his biggest offence, proving himslef smarter and truer than the PTB, it is enuff for the herd to demand his excision.
These are fightin words! How strange to hear that he is a "lamb of god" mumbled over and over.
But he is too the "lamb of God" as surely as he is the consorter with prostitutes, tax collectors and the Devil.
He is all of these things. Alpha and Omega!
Ignore the truth at your peril, loosers.
Zall's I'm sayin.
Me and MetaJseus.

Happy to hear that you're out with time served.

Thankee, thankee. I'm sure I have more good works up my sleeve, just need the time and space to lay them down.
So, are you and/or Otvos or anybody putting up a blog?
The Pffugee Camp isnt getting it for me dude. Not that I'm complaining. I'm looking for any excuse not to blog these daze.
Now that you and/or I caused the death of the free speech kiddie zone, along with my trusted friend and occasional comedy teammate, socrates, of course, I see that nothing has changed.
Nuthin, I tell you. commmentman still battling to the death with a myriad of whackjobs, many of wehom he believes are really me, undoubtedly.
Pity that guy.
What else you got?

I think the Noom character was created just for yourself. Part of the reason I didn't trust you for a long time was precisely because of the similarities with misspellings.
Let's refer to it as troll by association.
The problem with soapblox is that it costs at a minimum $15 a month. That's kind of a hefty investment for what should be free. Maybe you should start your own blogspot? Would you be interested in starting one with me? Or one for yourself could be a good outlet for ya. You could put it into your username here. It could be a place for you to write your prose on your own terms, and unwashed masses like us could chip in with comments. Just an idea. It's free.
Why do I think Noom could be a fake? Well, I don't necessarily think everyone who writes anti-Palestinian/pro-occupation posts is necessarily on an operative payroll. But I see that "Revisionist" at Pffugee has Noom in his signature. Noom at MLW made it clear that his username had been messed with by Jack. Wouldn't "Noom" make sure that it's known that Revisionist isn't himself, if they are indeed two separate people?
Then when one looks at Revisionist's blog, they can see it is from the "pro-Palestinian" side. That means this Noom guy, if he is also Revisionist, is playing both sides of the fence. That is how operatives play things.
My idea is of controlled opposition. It's like how I keep harping on the fact that peaceniks, lefties, and thinkers aren't wanted on these forums. Groupthink via easily manipulated herds are desired, along with lots of noise and confusion.
I used to be somewhat flattered when I first got cybersmear/script attention. But this latest round including myself, you, Eric S., and Noom just outright stinks. One must fight back when even it's just a username being unfairly maligned. For good ideas we promote get distorted.
Who is CometMan to be speaking of whackjobs? He went after me for writing that Michael Connell was never threatened by Karl Rove. CometMan is a big supporter of Brett Kimberlin's Velvet Revolution. That means he supports a confidence man raking in cash off of hoaxes surrounding election fraud.
Ensuring fair elections has nothing to do with sexy, tabloid stuff that has no basis in reality. It has to do with gerrymandering, voter roll purges, money, etc..
It is common knowledge that electronic voting machines are unreliable. But to prop up easily debunked hoaxes surrounding them makes it less likely that we will move to hand counted paper ballots.
It's a fill in the blank by association blogosphere. Create an outlet where there are fair rules for dialogue and research, and blogmaids like CometMan won't be able to bully others.
Lauren S did a 180 from being a KosKop to a MajorFlaw nemesis. It fooled a lot of people at first, including Dave. Jack fooled a lot of people at first.
Unless truth and fair play form the bedrock of blogosphere principles, the Mickey Mouse noise chambers will continue to obfuscate internet fraud.

Noom has a new diary at MLW. He wrote:
So he associates himself to both of us. You have gotten a bit Biblical on us, so he chucks in the funky way of writing Leviticus.
Once I made a funny about Jack being my handler. I like to point out how the internet seems rigged with fakes and their syncophants. Now not only am I allegedly longtime debunker Jay Reynolds, I am also Noom!
So two birds get killed with the one stone.
Listen, when one gets beyond all the drama, theories, reposts, putting two and two together.... we are looking at one primary result- a blockade on pure freedom of speech and association, with the facade being that those who are on the outside of the major forums looking in, for the most part, deserved their fate.
