Brad Friedman and Fake News Making News

Back in the day there was a show put on by Geraldo Rivera with a few racists as guests. A melee broke out, and Geraldo ended up with a broken nose.


socrates :: Brad Friedman and Fake News Making News
That's an example of what I mean by fake news making news. Jenny Jones was another talk show host during what can be referred to as the Morton Downey Jr., Rikki Lake, and Jerry Springer era of tv trash. Jones sabotaged her guest Jonathan Schmitz. He thought he might be meeting the woman of his dreams. He found out that Scott Amedure had a crush on him. Schmitz murdered Amedure a few days later, and Jones was eventually ordered to pay the victim's family $25 million.    

Now we have a new example to add to a growing collection of fake news making news courtesy of Brad Friedman, Brett Kimberlin, and Velvet Revolution.  

Brett Kimberlin Productions has an interesting business model. They basically attempt to inspire donations through offers of substantial rewards for whistleblowers from tips leading to arrests and convictions for fraud. I've yet to see one example where this has ever led to such a result. A few years ago they were offering $250,000 for tips leading to an election fraud conviction. That type of spiel has garnered money from philanthropist Lori Grace, heiress to the Oliver Grace fortune. We now know that the Michael Connell threatened by Karl Rove "story" has its roots completely from Velvet Revolution. We can see how the conspiracy chatter has filtered on down throughout the "progressive" blogosphere, despite there being zero evidence of any merit to the allegations.  

A few months back VR started a campaign against domestic violence. What they don't inform potential donors of is that Brett Kimberlin was a domestic terrorist himself. While efforts have been made to portray him as being an exonerated, ex-political prisoner, due to my and a few others' efforts, the truth about the Speedway Bomber has slowly begun to be absorbed by the zeitgeist.

Now VR wants folks to believe that they are sincerely seeking to get a conviction against Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donohue.

Brad has accused fans of Fox News of sending VR threatening letters. He says that VR has informed the FBI of such threats. You may remember that VR affiliated attorney Cliff Arnebeck sent a memo and information about the alleged threat against Michael Connell to the Dept. of Justice. Same as it ever was. Larisa Alexandrovna said that Michael Connell was scared and ready to spill the beans. She also astroturfed that Brett Kimberlin was an exonerated, ex-political prisoner. Same as it ever was. Brad Friedman never blogs about Brett's past. Any attempts to speak truth to fake news at his BradBlog is censored. Same as it ever was. Here are two links for those who want to check out the new example of fake news making news. The first is to BradBlog. The second is to Fox News.

I can't keep up with Brad and Brett! Have they come up with proof yet that progressive Democrat Jan Schakowsky has become compromised by a lesbian Turkish spy? Have they come up with even one arrest through their alleged whistleblowers? Could an intrepid reporter pretty please find out how much money VR has raked in over the years from good-hearted, yet gullible new-age philanthropists and donors?

There is a fake news website called News Making News. They have inspired the title of this blog entry. It is owned by Kate Dixon and runs "news articles" written by herself and conspiracy theorist Virginia McCullough. I've looked all over their website looking for signs of advertising revenue. I don't see any. I can't fathom how a place like that makes money. I can see how Brad and Brett do it. The BradBlog is full of ads and pleas for financial contributions. We know that VR generates money. We just don't know how much. We know that not one of their reward offers has led to anything other than conspira-tainment.

One story that NewsMakingNews.com has liked to cover has been the unsolved Cabazon murders of Fred Alvarez, Patty Castro, and Ralph Boger. It is actually an intriguing story which relates to the idea of an octopus with far reaching tentacles. There are questions concerning Iran-Contra, weapon manufacturing, the Promis software scandal, the mysterious death of intrepid reporter Dan Casolaro, and other connundrums. It is beyond my limited knowledge to delve into this too much right now. I have my own blogging methods. I don't make one cent at this, never have. I lead a humble existence. I do the best I can in regards to blogging. I don't have malice towards any of these insidious characters I have come across through my research. I simply like writing and want to know the truth, no matter what it is. I despise injustice. I begrudge anyone making a buck off of spreading disinformation.  

Recently a man named Jimmy Hughes was arrested for the triple homicide. One of the victim's daughters has been a cybersleuth the last couple years. She always had questions about her Dad's death. It happened when she was thirteen. She was under the impression that he might be in a witness protection program all these years. When she realised that wasn't the case, she single-handedly did her own research which has resulted in the arrest of Jimmy Hughes.  

That is not fake news making news. That is an example of one person making a big time difference. Credible news organisations have reported on this story. This is no bullshite made up about Michael Connell. This ain't no convicted domestic terrorist starting a campaign against domestic terrorism. This isn't Sibel Edmonds with Brad Friedman's help smearing Jan Schakowsky as a compromised politician due to some fabricated lesbian spy saga script.  Rachel Begley's aim is true.

Here are a few articles for those interested in checking out her inspirational story.

There is a disinformation website called Rigorous Intuition. It's from the conspira-tainment category of internet bullshite. Months back Rachel Begley signed up to share her story. What she came in contact with was disinfo spin from McCullough and Dixon. I'm not going to provide the links. RI is an eyesore. There's plenty of mind focking materials there. The following from Begley's website confirms all we need to know about Kate Dixon and fake news making news.

Kate Dixon's Disbarment

I read through the disbarment document. One word. Wow.  

Abandoning clients, slurs lead to disbarment

A Berkeley attorney whose outbursts during her disciplinary trial forced the judge to summon police was disbarred for abandoning clients and keeping their fees and for character-izing other lawyers and judges as racists and "protectors of pedophiles." KATHRYN (KATE) JO-ANNE DIXON [#98514], 48, of Berkeley lost her license to practice Dec. 10, 1999, and was ordered to comply with rule 955 of the California Rules of Court.

Dixon received 30.5 percent of the vote in an unsuccessful 1996 bid for a seat on the Alameda Superior Court.

She had gained notoriety in East Bay legal circles for a 1992 federal suit against the Emeryville School District accusing teachers and administrators of abusing schoolchildren as part of an international pedophile ring. When authorities said the charges lacked merit, Dixon then accused a host of officials of conspiracy.

Although those actions were not part of the State Bar's prosecution of Dixon, she vilified witnesses, the hearing judge and the prosecutor throughout the disciplinary pro-ceedings, calling them variously liars, terrorists and racists.

At the conclusion of the trial, the State Bar Court hearing judge found, and the review department agreed, that Dixon committed 29 counts of professional misconduct involving eight clients. Four counts involved moral turpitude....

I googled all I could for info about a pedophile ring coming out of Emeryville, CA.. There's nothing! One can go to NewsMakingNews.com and read some about it. Then try googling that info, and again one will find nothing. Who does Kate Dixon work for? Does she make any money off of her 'internet journalism'? What's up with all her crap about Emeryville? When folks look into any topic, they need to consider the sources. When trying to figure out the Michael Connell threatened by Karl Rove reports, I learned that all roads led to Brett Kimberlin, someone who has been convicted for setting bombs, drug smuggling, and even perjury. When I looked for info about a pedophile ring working out of Emeryville, California, all I found was the disgraced and disbarred ex-attorney. Internet cybersleuthing is a hobby of mine. I'm no genius. I make mistakes. I come up with great stuff and sometimes not so great stuff. I just want the truth, no matter what it is. What I have found in my about five years of being on the net is that there are a lot of people on it who are players in zeitgeist creation. Yet, when I have checked into their methods and results, I have just seen a whole lot of self-serving crap that appears to be fraud related. That pisses me off to no end. That's why I continue to blog, to get to the root of it, or at least get the idea out to good readers that there is a story behind internet convolution. It's not good enough to just say the internet is crazy and unsubstantiated. We need to figure out wtf is going on here. Someday, I think many things will become better understood. I can't see Brett Kimberlin Productions continuing forever with what they do. Perhaps someone in the FBI should investigate them.

Grate diary, dude......BTW, If I'm not mistaken, "Emoryville ISD" was the last suspected (0.00 / 0)
work location of the elusive Shadowthief, as well as donkeytale and Socrates, if you can believe the fake website and Wikipedia page that were put up by "Blews", since pulled down, which was linked on the Flea Screech Zone last summer by commmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmentman.

The diary and wikipedia page gave out an IP address which was supposedly "ours."

Surprised you didnt research that one. It may still be in the wayback.

"Blews" later went on to claim that he discovered "Boron Fusion" and when that grandioise BS was debunked, he then tried to sell "Boron Fusion" Tee Shirts right here on this website, which was in clear violation of the sites anti-spamming reulez.

RIOTOUS!

Yet, Mrs. Howl allowed "Blews" to urvive....probably because he so clearly hates "us" in a humourously unhinged fashion.

Just sayin..... if yur done trying to out me as "Petey" you mite check into that fake website and wiki page.

The title of the wikipage was actually "our" alleged IP address at Emoryville ISD.


That's an interesting connection (5.00 / 1)
That Laura is acting like a mosquito troll. I'm trying to move on.

I thought this entry of mine had a lot of various goodies. The Jenny Jones and Geraldo fake news making news. My contention that Brett Kimberlin's and Brad's VR needs to be investigated by the FBI. That Chamber of Commerce guy does reek. I just think this whole paying off whistleblower thing is a scam.That Michael Connell hoax thing is a scam. That's why I get attacked so much. I've exposed shite like that.  

I noticed that bullshit before. There's a lwhole lot of convolution on the net. It's hard to keep up. Maybe there is some connection to Emeryville and internet disinformation. I don't know much about the Octopus angle. It looks like Kate Dixon and Virginia McCullough are into turning it into tinfoil. Check out that story on the Cabazon murders. It's fricken fascinating.

I did notice that strange website that came out featuring ourselves. Now come on, that certainly felt like organised disinfo. Just impossible to prove. It was a total rabbit hole production. You think Blues was behind it. Or you just decided to go into Blues. I lurked here a bit after going out for smokes. But not too much. I am a real person. I don't have time for people who don't interact fairly. I have my moments. But now the sadistic buggers are picking up steam again. They show definite signs of being fascists. They love Michael Rivero. Laura wrote whatreallyhappened without spaces. Now she is acting like it doesn't mean anything. Rivero is part and parcel of the Willis Carto disinfo chain.

I am a true socialist peacenik. You are Mr. middle of the road Democrat. These others are jealous of our consistency. I don't think it's an accident that the soapblox fake opposition pushed us as being Shadowthief and even Eric S.    

These people aren't anti-war. They are anti-Jew, anti-intellectual, and anti-logic.

I don't think you know what I've come up with over the years. The organised attacks on me suggest I have come up with some good stuff.

Maybe we should try to work together and put our differences to the side. You coined me as Sock Rat. Now I've exposed you as being Petey. We should perhaps call it a truce. Now if you join in and start saying I'm gonna go postal too, then I am definitely going for smokes again.

I see no poof that there was a pedophile ring out of Emeryville. That Kate Dixon babe is a definite oddity.

MattyJack is another one. Maybe he went crazy because of a drug problem. It's impossible to know. I never used a proxy at FSZ or here. I know your ip or at least the one you used to have from you signing up once at my forum. You're in Texas. I am in the Boston area. MattyJack lied about his relationship with DFQ. We pointed it out, then he went into saying we are the same person with no proof. That was nuts. And that strange website you mention popped up.

Ok, sorry for rambling. It happens.

Yes but here you are following Mattyjack's already tired formula and (5.00 / 1)
using it against me of all people.

Besides being a betrayal of one of the few, nay, the only person on whole world wide web who stuck steadfastly by both DFQ during his trials and tribulations and you, after the fact, (not to mention Francis also in real time---why arent you ever around when the shits hitting the fan, BTW?) and took no end of shite (h/t George) for it, now you are trying to say that I'm really just some dim bulb who disappeared from DKOS 5 freaking years ago just because we both happened to be named Petey and both warned against the well-documented negative effects of third party voting? Because some other looosers on BT threw in an aside comparison 4 years ago?

RIOTOUS!

This is why I love the whiteysphere!

BTW, my hypothesis is that you are failreft. My reasoning? Only Failreft is as reading comprehension-challenged as you are.

You say I slammed DFQ by stating it was more believable that he was a DLC operative than I am? Uhhh, dude, that was a slam against you not Dave. More specifically, I was criticizing yur donkeytale = petey hypothesis, which contains holes of plausibility large enuff for Timothy McVeigh to drive a fertilizer truck through and never even bump into the curb. Not once.

Personally, I think that davidbyron is Timothy McVeigh and has been granted a work-release furlough by Satan to continue his holy work of disrupting the whiteysphere from the fourth rung of hell, or wtf.

OTOH, you saved yurself in my eyes, as you often do, by coming up with this most excellent line.

Obviously the Democrats are the lesser of two evils. I do wish Dave was alive. He was an interesting guy. I would've helped him find his wife. Go bowling.

You would help him find his wife and then go bowling.

George, I must confess, you are a genius of literary narrative. Those juxtapositions of yours are true greatness.

They are trying to drive Socrates to suicide or confusion.

What a memorable line!

I thot of you last nite. Frau Tale wanted to go into town to do some Xmas shopping and she dropped me off at the Barnes and Noble with explicit instructions to find a book that would help me organize my office. Of course, I found it, touched it once for authenticity ("Organization for Dummies") and then went wondering around in the fiction Dept. I came across "Catcher in the Rye" a book that I may have read 45 years ago, or wtf, but I think I eventually got bored with it and never finished. I did like Salingers short stories. "Franny and Zooey" or wtf.

Anyway, I picked up a copy of "Catcher" and browsed a few pages to get the feel for the narrative and a thot struck me: Sockrates could have written this book better than Salinger, whose own narrative was a bit forced and arch for my tastes, altho I'm sure this was a conscious decision, for his we portraying a pretentious 14 yr old, or wtf.

But there it is. You probably aren't Salinger, but your narrative style definitely holds a candle. Pure greatness, dude.

Thanks Donkeybreath (0.00 / 0)
That's very kind of you.

So I think you are Petey. So what. You denied it, and we can move on. No way can you equate one goofy thread of mine with what MattyJack came up with.

And even if it could be proven you were Petey, which I admit cannot be, it wouldn't also prove that Petey and then yourself is a DLC operative. I didn't pull that one out of thin air. Others at Booman kept calling you Petey, and even one poster asked if you were at DKos or elsewhere with a derivative of Pete Richards. Look, Donkeytale, that was the risk you took making up an internet character in Richards. I did the same thing at DebateBothSides when I first arrived there. I have to live with doing that. It happens.

It looks like you missed super "forest gump" soling saying he was fairly certain I was shadowthief. Funny how I get slammed by him for that kind of thing, but he did the same exact thing and with no proof. My work on this Connell hoax and other things has been brilliant. I know it. I am one of those rare types who is both a genius and humble!

John and Paul had their troubles, but deep down there was a love and respect between them that could never die. There's no reason to let some of our squabbles lead to a break up of The Ringo and George Band. Hey, I put you first. I'm willing to make concessions like that.

Did you see how I screenshot some pictures for this blog entry? You should do that. It's the one thing missing from your schtick. Putting up videos is asking the reader to spend extra time juice. A picture can be absorbed in one second.

Anyway, I realise this was probably a boring post. Just thought maybe any animosity between us could settle down. Though I must say our hissy fits are pure genius compared to what these other asshats come up with. The Lordship likes to spam fuck you when he's mad at someone. Supersoling just told me to eat shit. Blues likes to belt out babyish hit and run troll attacks. I have to admit something. When EatMeSoc told HRH to lick that special part of marisacat's anatomy, it moved.

BTW, I can do a kick ass harmony on the chorus to the Costello tune. (0.00 / 0)
altho, truth be told, its a very easy one. Nothing like singing harmony with George Jones, who is truly a genius.

Costello, a musical talent, but overrated from a creative standpoint. Completely faux.

Highly derivative schtick....a pseudo-rocker like Failreft and Mrs. Howl are pseudo-intellectual pseudo-leftists.

No doubt they love Costello too.


This version has better harmony......more like mine.... (0.00 / 0)
