Part 3:  Kennebunkport Hoax and WQ2RX: past and future attacks in 9/11 Truth

The Kennebunkport Hoax—a machination of Webster Tarpley—has been covered elsewhere:

To summarize  in late August of 2007  Webster Tarpley, along with Craig Hill and Bruce Marshall, passed around a petition at an event in Kennebunkport pro-porting to be a statement denouncing the Bush administration, which was signed by many people in a crowded  party like atmosphere.  Prominent anti-War activists like Cindy Sheehan signed it only to discover there signatures being associated with a document none of them had seen; this document supposedly warned of an IMMINENT OMG FALSE FLAG THREAT—which of course turned out to be utter bollox.  When  a handful of women protested, Tarpley was to go on his radio show denouncing them as “Dahliar4” instead of simply removing their signatures like a sane person.  When 911truth activists called Tarpley on his BS, a nasty harassment campaign now known as WQ2RX fired up targeting anyone who challenged the authenticity of the Kennebunkport Warning.  The known participants and supporters of this harassment campaign:

Webster Tarpley, Bruce Marshall, Craig Hill, Jim Fetzer, Kevin Barrett, Captain May, Morgan Reynolds, and others.

Organizations: Actindepentent.org, CaptainMay's Ghost Troop, Rense, Portland Nuclear Inquest, Portland 911 Truth Alliance, Scholars for 911truth, 911movement.org(dead site).

Their backup was a legion of trolls using Rosalee Grable's “dog4tree” meme combined with a tagging system (invented by a lad named Spiney) called WQ2RX.

Now it should be clear to readers that anything Webster Tarpley involved in in, by definition, a Larouche PAC project.  And once that's clear the techniques used in the harassment campaign make perfect sense-you have only to read accounts of people running afoul of the Larouche PAC:

[NOTE-one reference is written by Chip Berlet.  It maybe a good article but I would caution anyone about trusting Chip Berlet's motives.  In the wake of the Kennebunkport Hoax, Tarpley accused many of us as working with Chip Berlet and the Ford Foundation, in spite of the fact I've never heard of him until then.  He went so far as to get his friend Joe Azar to make this cartoon.   What is more, after reading my Dkos diary, where I openly wondered if Berlet was part of the harassment campaign, instead of explaining his sudden participation(remember I among others are supposed to be working with this guy), Chip Berlet left this tetchy prissy comment that was more worthy of a 12 year old.  Not what I expect from a professional writer.  And to top it off, one of the people who was to work overtime trying to protect “Killtown” and his Nazi bimbo girlfriend, tried to convince people Chip Berlet was a wonderful guy and “please don't have a go at him”.  So yeh—be cautious about that one...]

But this didn't happen over night.  The ground work was laid years ago as the culture of the 911 truth movement was being manipulated into accepting rubbish or outrageous behavior in the name of “truth”.  This is definitely a cult attitude.

Wing-TV –via Lisa Guiliani, Victor Thorn , Micheal Piper--was one of the first smear artists in the 9/11 scene.

They were the first to have a go at Val McClatchey, laying the ground for Killtown's later infamous work.

They also pushed the idea Israel did 911.  They also attacked Jon Gold and Janice Matthews as Zionist agents or summat.  And they did much to pioneer the habit of having regular hissy fit fights with other ant-semite, nutters to “prove” they aren't actually working together.  But a list of approved people should give and idea where Wing-TV is coming from:

So who did report this breaking news? To the best of my ability, I‘ve tried to track this all week.

       - WING TV
       - Frank Whalen – Republic Broadcasting Network – RBNLive.com
       - Bill Brumbaugh – ProactiveNews.com
       - Sam & Trish Britton – TheInformationCorner.com
       - Vyzygoth (brief telephone interview) Vyzygoth.com
       - Scholars for 911 Truth (on their website) Scholars for 9-11 truth.org
       - American Patriot Friends Network (APFN)
       - I posted it directly onto the Liberty Post forum website.

Thank you to all of the above for doing the right thing.

Leaving aside the de-merits of considering APFN in any way “doing the right thing”,  observe the year:  2006.  This is the same year Screw Loose Change came into existence to echo the most outrageous rubbish in the truth movement and about Truthers.  Nico's blogs were set up to be information feeds that people like Pat aka Brainster could use indirectly.  Others started yahoo groups, gathering information on people interested in 911 truth for years.  Rick Seigel help fund Nico's online activities and kept people like Pat informed.  Concurrently, supposed  “debunkers” infested JREF and manufactured their own culture of mocking the “twoof” or “woo”.  Other ground work included members of the Larouche extended family—and anyone working with Tarpley is part of the Larouche extended family—to get close to key 911 activists or survivors. For instance a woman called Melle Belle apparently did quite a feat getting Ellen Mariani's trust and many pictures—which she  shared with known irresponsible personalities like Killtown and Ozzytwat at 911movement.org.

Meanwhile, there were people at 911blogger—mainly users with female names-- making friends with regulars, gathering and sharing information about people with the network. [IMO females were used to get to the mostly male population:  on political forums the most active users are assumed to be male.  OTOH, when applied to same-sex and/or platonic targets, this op backfired with catastrophic results]  The previous year, 2005, was mostly quiet disruptor wise.   In 2006 something changed and someone got serious.

My personal suspicion is that for all the attempts to infect 911truth with a culture of crazy, in spite of all the people placed very carefully as “leaders” to herd people, in 2006 is was clear 911 truth was threatening to get out of control.   Alex Jones was being an ass true, but there were also masses of people independent of the Alex Jones “thang” who were making a serious go at being an effective political force with the rest of the anti-war movement:

Note the 911 activists were mixed in with other anti-war protesters and no Alex Jones bs in sight.

2006--Enter right wing volunteer bloggers Pat and James –and others--to mock the “twoof” movement and anyone in it under the cover of “journalism”.

I suggest information was consolidated by certain parties and a plan of attack was formulated to set up peace activists leaders long before the Kennebunkport Hoax.  Pro Tarpley material was pushed aggressively to get as many virtual footsoldiers—at the very least directing people to his site to mine data of anyone downloading his “free” book.  (Nope, nothing's free.  Sorry.)  The more people in the truth movement emotionally invested in his material, the more people that could be counted on to reactively defend his attacks against peace activists, threatening “others”  and anyone else.  Waiting in the wings of course were people like Screw Lucy, to leap to the defense of Tarpley's targets, never mind in the case of SLC, being Republican goons, under any other circumstance Pat and James would happily mock Cindy Sheehan and anyone protesting the war.   Also waiting in the wings was the WQ2RX/ and animal4shrubbery videos to harass and make an example of anyone trying to muck things up.

But it didn't play out that way.

Instead it was 911 truthers who took Tarpley to task for attacking the four peace activists from word go.

"Screw Lucy" had to be dragged kicking and screaming to cover the issue, because that is NOT the kind of story—Truthers being responsible—they want to cover.  But the story was too big to ignore.   All of Tarpley's goons, including his publisher, were forced to play defence.  As an extreme measure many radio archives were either deleted or restricted to hide evidence of the harassment and calls to hunt people down—calls made by Captain May, Jim Fetzer and Webster Tarpley himself.  In one case Kevin Barrett attempted to suggest there was no such thing as a WQ2RX harassment campaign.  And-very telling—at the height of  Tarpley's Kennebunkport hysteria, it was the 2007 9/11 anniversary at ground zero, and a person who was there reports a sizable presence-- in the form of vending tables and leaflet hand outs—of the Larouche PAC on the streets of New York City.

Thus it is not a stretch to assume some of the organized harassment in 911 truth has its origins and is supported by Lyndon Larouche's PAC, through various individuals and front groups.

Even though the attempt failed to divide activists like Cindy Sheehan from 911 truth....
