  1. If the moderators insist, I will but not before I argue that you now have the facts that (at least on occasion) Project Veritas publishes disinformation as borne out in the courts, so, I believe it's incumbent upon you to remove those related Project Veritas links, otherwise yes, you are knowingly posting false information.
  2. Spin this all you wish, Matthew. You're fooling no one — well, almost no one.
  3. If I can ask, why have responsible historians - amateur or otherwise - tolerated this absurd ban? Why not simply delete posts that use the terms as weapons? This is the tail wagging the dog and the historical record suffers as a result.
  4. I was holding Monty accountable for his agreement with Hank, on behalf of Hank and his co-authors and the project. It was a business issue, nothing personal. I implored Monty to only remove those posts that related to the non-disclosure issues because I could see just from glancing at the thread he was provided invaluable research. Unfortunately he opted to delete all. I had no control over that decision. Satisfied?
  5. Projection. Ask Chris to explain the phenomenon to you. Before your little match lights a brush fire, Monty was revealing information that fell under a non-disclosure agreement with Hank. The book had not been published and he wasn't familiar with the context or the full significance of what he was posting. No need for you to stir the pot because it's all good now. Monty is fearless, an incredible researcher with a grasp of the big picture (while you muddle around with alt-right soundbite info on this thread), and I consider him a good friend. I challenge you to post some of your independent research into the assassination of Kennedy in Dallas on this thread, relevant to the inevitable end result of the past [60] years.
  6. Fact check: No proof of alleged voter fraud scheme or connection to Rep. Ilhan Omar Camille Caldera USA TODAY Footage raises more questions than it answers, some taken out of context Unknowns in the Project Veritas footage include the accuracy of the translations between Somali and English, the questions asked and the way the clips were edited. Most of the sources are anonymous, and their faces are blurred or left out of the camera frame. On Sept. 29, researchers at Stanford University and the University of Washington concluded that the video’s rollout suggests it was part of a “coordinated disinformation campaign,” they write at the Election Integrity Project site. “It’s a great example of what a coordinated disinformation campaign looks like: pre-seeding the ground and then simultaneously hitting from a bunch of different accounts at once,” Alex Stamos, a researcher at the Stanford Internet Observatory, told the New York Times. Our rating: False Based on our research, the claim that Project Veritas discovered a voter fraud scheme connected to Rep. Ilhan Omar is FALSE. There are many aspects that are impossible to corroborate, given the use of unnamed sources and unverifiable translations, and the "central source" behind the video backtracked on some of his claims after publication. There's no link between Omar and the alleged fraud, and the scenario in the video is implausible based on the evidence provided. Researchers have also termed the videos part of a "coordinated disinformation campaign." Our fact-check sources: · Donald J.

  7. As long as you invoke Project Veritas, or Posobiec, I'll be right behind you to provide antidote for your disinformation. And, as stated on another thread, I feel no need to "explain" 'this.' And I suggest you refrain from slurs hurled at a combat veteran who acknowledges openly that he suffers PTSD. He's unable to take you on here, and you know it, but I will on his behalf. The moderators need to stay on top of your attempted psychological intimidation, and your misogynist rants, imho.

  9. Not wishing to hijack the central issue Paul raises here, but it should be noted Project Veritas’ claims never hold up under credible scrutiny. ‘ . . . The firm and Creamer said Project Veritas used "heavily edited" footage in videos that falsely suggested they conspired to incite violence at then-Republican candidate Donald Trump's rallies and schemed to promote voter fraud.’ Project Veritas loses jury verdict to Democratic consulting firm By Jonathan Stempel Sept 23 (Reuters) - A federal jury has found Project Veritas, a conservative group often accused of using deceptive tactics, liable for violating wiretapping laws and misrepresenting itself in an undercover effort to target Democratic political consultants. . . . Democracy Partners claimed it had been infiltrated by a Project Veritas operative who lied about her name and background to obtain an internship during the 2016 presidential campaign, and secretly recorded conversations while working there. https://www.reuters.com/legal/project-veritas-loses-jury-verdict-democratic-consulting-firm-2022-09-23/
  10. the German leader Interesting 'couching' of another mad man, Chris.
  11. And with the utmost candor, Chris, I think what you're positing is batshit crazy. An experimental psychotherapist in Dublin played this game with her clientele, her "customers" as it were -- and ended up being sued after two of her customers committed suicide. She promoted perception is reality kind of madness that those young damaged psyches couldn't process. I was old enough to recognize the psychological sadism. Most of us saw in that video a platform erected with a noose and heard "hang Mike Pence", and you SAY you saw a goal post and heard Ooh Ahh Paul McGrah?? Dishonesty in addition to mind games is crass and a reflection of a damaged personality. So, what you're suggesting here is utterly insane, and I suspect you know it and achieve some strange pleasure mindf-cking those who've only just met you. Like I said, your card is marked in my books. You are a provocateur in the mold of Roger Stone. I revisited Ed Forum recently to see if it had been corrupted similar to a number of Facebook forums. Sadly this thread confirm that's the case.
  12. The assassination in Dallas was an attack on the Presidency ergo an attack on our democracy. Trump's refusal to accept the election results was also an attack on the Presidency, a mirror of Dallas 1963.
  13. Jan 6 was not meant to "succeed", in the fashion you seem to suggest. The assault on the Capitol was meant to disrupt, and to prove that 'they' could continue to disrupt. I think your particular blancmange attitude in even this small pond has ripple effects. You may be under the impression that few read these threads, but I have reason to beg to differ. Encouraging an impressionable lad like Matthew Koch to promote Posobiec's propaganda is a reflection on you whether you welcome it or not. Do you understand that the murder of Kennedy, the man, was a criminal act, but the assassination in Dallas was an attack on the Presidency ergo an attack on our democracy. Trump's refusal to accept the election results was also an attack on the presidency, (perhaps the final before an authoritarian dictator takes control), and a mirror of Dallas 1963. I too hope that you will inform yourself daily.
  14. I'm flattered to be the woman who ruffles your feathers, Chris. Let me reiterate, as obscure philosophizing seems to be your forte. . . . . . . "The alt-right became a political force, trolling America with obscure philosophizing, pro-Trump messages, and outright racism, while Richard Spencer gave Regnery’s movement of aging white nationalists a clean-shaven, camera-ready face. Since Trump’s win, the movement has only gained prominence.” . . . — Aron Roston, Joel Anderson.
  15. The precursor to the alt-right drove the decision to remove Kennedy permanently. So, I think your observation is moot. You and yours here are attempting to control a narrative of January 6 that is anathema to the truth. Wisner must be smiling down on you and yours with a "well done Boys!" . . . "The alt-right became a political force, trolling America with obscure philosophizing, pro-Trump messages, and outright racism, while Richard Spencer gave Regnery’s movement of aging white nationalists a clean-shaven, camera-ready face. Since Trump’s win, the movement has only gained prominence.” . . . — Aron Roston, Joel Anderson. From Coup in Dallas . . . Membership in the America First Committee grew quickly, attracting around 800,000 Americans, due in part to the wealth of the founders who could subsidize the slick promotion for the movement, a phenomenon perfected over ensuing decades. Described by its detractors as an isolationist pressure group whose original leaders included anti-Semitic and pro-fascists, the AFC capitalized on the believability of famed aviator and National Socialist apologist Charles Lindbergh to assuage skepticism and concern. Just weeks before the US entered WWII, at a rousing speech in Des Moines, Iowa, home of Cowles media company and The Des Moines Register, the famed aviator was joined by textile industrialist William Henry Regnery. One of the organizing members of the AFC, Regnery’s parents had emigrated from Germany. His son Henry would later found one of the foremost Holocaust Denial and anti-Semitic publishing houses in the US following the war. Other prominent leaders of the original AFC included the Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith who was perhaps the most prominent fascist clerical of the 20th century, and of course, Gen. Wood, Chairman of Sears Roebuck and future founder of the American Security Council comprised of corporatists, some of whose international investments had been adversely impacted by President Roosevelt’s stated policy against the rise of Hitler’s N azism.. . . It was Bill Regnery who philosophically and financially mentored what became known in the mid-2000s as the “alt-right.” Avowed Neo-National Socialist Richard Spencer served as his spokesman. While at Duke University, Spencer had brushed against a future advisor to the 45th president, Stephen Miller, who would later serve as aid to Senator and future Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Together, the two archconservatives formulated the idea of “nation-state populism”, an economic nationalist movement modeled on the populism of Andrew Jackson, the senator from Tennessee before becoming the seventh president of the United States whose harsh policies toward enslaved people and Native Americans are a blight on America’s past. Nation-state populism would greatly influence the Trump anti-immigration campaign. Ten years earlier, in 2005, Bill Regnery had formed the National Policy Institute. The first NPI chairman, Louis R. Andrews explained that in the 2008 election, he had voted for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama because, “I want to see the Republican Party destroyed so it can be reborn as a party representing the interests of white people, not entrenched corporate elites.” In a July 2017 piece titled, “The Moneyman Behind the Alt-Right,” BuzzFeed reporters Aram Roston and Joel Anderson noted, “Suddenly, the seed money Regnery had doled out—often in small grants under $25,000—started to show returns. The alt-right became a political force, trolling America with obscure philosophizing, pro-Trump messages, and outright racism, while Richard Spencer gave Regnery’s movement of aging white nationalists a clean-shaven, camera-ready face. Since Trump’s win, the movement has only gained prominence.” *** When Donald Trump was elected president, a number of leaders from the alt-right movement assumed important advisory positions, including those responsible for creating a platform for the “alt-right,” the online publication Breitbart News. In a piece titled, “An Establishment Conservatives’ Guide to the Alt-Right” published in 2016, the Italian philosopher and occultist Julius Evola is touted as “one of the thinkers in whose writings the origins of the alternative right can be found.” Evola, identified earlier in this book, was the intellectual and spiritual inspiration of leading Italian fascists, including “The Black Prince” Julius Borghese and Stefano delle Chiaie who were inclined toward murder and blackmail as political solutions. As noted, Evola was also an early admirer of American fascist Francis Parker Yockey whose fervent adherent, H. Keith Thompson, would serve a similar role as that of Isaac Don Levine when he became a publicist for Marguerite Oswald. Yockey’s writings were advanced almost exclusively by American propagandist Willis Carto, philosophically aligned in 1963 with Rev. Gerald L K. Smith, a cofounder of the America First Committee. Carto would leave as his final legacy, the American Free Press where Patrick Buchanan found a well-primed audience.
  16. Petulant children, Chris? Do tell, oh wise one, how you manage to keep a straight face as you project your pathology onto others. Perhaps you might tee up a month in the woods with Matthew? Build another tree house maybe, "no girls allowed" of course. Would that Robert Bly was still around, god rest his soul, to help you thru this crisis of gender identification you both seem to be struggling with. Now, can you tell me who you think plotted to assassinate Kennedy in Dallas? and why you're interested in the inevitable result of the past [60] years ? Can you share how the assassination impacted, for instance, life in Britain, or maybe Ireland?
  17. If this is exemplary of your research skills, I understand why you have yet to offer substantive facts relevant to the inevitable end result of the past [60] years. You clearly know nothing of consequence about the plot to assassinate Kennedy in Dallas. I suspect you've never done your own digging, but left it to others. And, you know nothing of the dynamics in play during the months following Hank's passing. I wouldn't sully his memory or his interactions with those he mentored, including Monty, by elaborating here. It's really none of your business. Robert Montenegro's deep research overwhelmed you, and it's a shame he was banned from this forum while you are left to run amok.
  18. I was wondering about Thiel abruptly withdrawing all of his cash from SVB. Financial? or Political? Or both? How better to try and topple Democracy in America than another 2008? Curtis Yarvin wants American democracy toppled. He has some prominent Republican fans. The New Right blogger has been cited by Blake Masters and J.D. Vance. What exactly is he advocating? https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23373795/curtis-yarvin-neoreaction-redpill-moldbug
  19. hmmmm. Did you meet Robert here ... on Ed Forum? And did you follow the massacre referred to in my response? Why are you avoiding discussion of that horrendous tragedy perpetrated by a psychopath who was familiar with the symbolism Roger jokingly flashes>
  20. I asked because Yarvin apparently caught Thiel's attention, either before or after Bannon's. If you've been following the posts about James Angleton's admiration of The Black Prince Borghese who was heavily influenced by Julius Evola, this is an interesting read — in context. Rose notes that the intellectual luminaries for many of today’s younger conservatives are no longer those that inspired the turn against social democracy in the late 70s: ‘Instead of William Buckley it is Curtis Yarvin. Instead of Milton Friedman it is Peter Thiel. Instead of George Will it is Angelo Codevilla. Instead of Richard John Neuhaus it is Adrian Vermeule. Instead of Irving Kristol it is Steve Sailor. … In congressional offices, Republican politicians won’t know them all either, but their young aides will. At conservative magazines, senior editors don’t read them, but their junior staff do.’ https://justinleighreynolds.medium.com/a-world-after-liberalism-the-radical-right-and-the-dream-of-tradition-a5310026e27d
  21. When you offer a semi-literate response to Stone''s finger symbol — not the joke you culled from the MAGA threads you rely on, but a serious analysis of why he's photographed with a crowd of militants flashing the ok symbol, one of whom is also comfortable saluting "the" fuhrer —we can move on. Speaking of psychopaths, do you remember that massacre? What did you think about as it was being reported? Birdwatching?
  22. You do remember 51 people were killed at mosques in New Zealand, right Matthew? Roger Stone knows exactly what he's doing with the finger symbol, and it isn't to upset the Dems. He's one evil bastard. At some point, life begins to imitate their art, and what began as a media hoax takes on dangerously radical connotations. This point came when the Australian man charged with killing 51 people at mosques in New Zealand, made the OK gesture during a courtroom appearance after being arrested.
