Responding to Citizen Zone Defamation Show

DISCUSSION OF INFORMATION IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST

Once again the LARPers on Defango’s channel have been lying through their teeth about me, necessitating a response in self-defense.

See previous:

Responding to An Open Secret/Gabe Hoffman False Allegations

An Open Secret Asks Why? Here’s Why

Q Part 4 #MuhDiscord Reveal – LARPers gonna LARP

As I have previously pointed out, the way this crew chooses to communicate seems very strange.

Among the lies told this time:

  • that I have an ex-wife. I am happily married to my first wife. For some reason these unmarried people always attack my marriage.
  • that my software was free. We sold it, that’s how we made money.
  • that I suffer from a mental illness. HIPAA violation, false.
  • that I suffer from a physical illness. HIPAA violation, false.

None of this is true. The only “evidence” they offer is a few excerpts from a statement of claim from a 2006 legal case from a woman I briefly dated that was never presented before the Court. They do not even have that document, just tabloid media reports from Rupert Murdoch-owned papers at the height of Murdoch’s News International hacking scandal. There seems to be no reason to discuss this frivolous lawsuit in 2020 other than to smear me with the Plaintiff’s unproven allegations – a tactic we have seen before from this gang. It was always a farcical case from the beginning and I won it a long time ago, I find it amusing that smear merchants determined to sling mud on me seem to think this will do the job like nobody has ever tried it before.

Some recent appearances on Defango’s channel “Citizen Zone” (weekly flagship shows named “Dank Memes Trading Company” and “LARPline”) seem designed to bully and gang-stalk me in relation to legal actions that the show’s characters are getting involved with In Real Life. I’m not sure if the role playing participants have truly thought through what their own involvement is going to look like if the legal actions they are seemingly trying to provoke were actually initiated. Do they think they would somehow not be parties to those matters? Perhaps some of these LARPers are seeking a fast-track to fame…”Notorious Internet Provocateurs”.


Meroz in the #GayOps Gang

Gabe Hoffman’s name has not appeared in a post here since February 2020, when I wrote Tackling The Leopard Misled in response to the doxxing of a Canadian man on the site Tracking the Leopard Meroz, written by quilt lady Jacquelyn Weaver.

In that post I shared Mr Hoffman’s public Tweet that Ms Weaver “found” the full Statement of Claim from his Canadian lawsuit against Zack McQuaid:

I asked Ms Weaver specifically how she obtained this document, which she published without redacting Personally Identifying Information such as Mr McQuaid’s home address. She refused to redact the address even after being informed that Mr McQuaid was in fear for his life as a result of her actions. As of the time of writing 5 months later, she has still not answered – or even allowed my question to be displayed in her comments.

Source: trackingmeroz

This strange situation has now been repeated, with Tracking Meroz publishing Mr Hoffman’s latest legal filing in Palm Beach County Court against Thomas Schoenberger.

The problem with this is that as I write this, July 20th 2020 (which is July 19th in the United States), this document does not show up on the web site of Palm Beach County Court’s electronic case management system:

The Court shows no filings in this case since the Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss was filed on June 13. Yet the document posted by Tracking Meroz is marked as having been filed July 17.

If it doesn’t show up on the eCaseView system until at least July 20, how was she able to download the document on July 17?

I ask the same question as before: how did Jacquelyn Weaver obtain this Court document relating to Mr Hoffman’s litigation?

I asked Thomas Schoenberger if he had sent the document to Ms Weaver and he said no, and also confirmed that he had not been formally served with it.


Legal Jeopardy?

Mr Hoffman’s attorney Dennis Klein of Kelley Kronenberg has been practising law for a while. He appears to have been at the University of Virginia Law School at the same time as former Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, graduating in 1981 a couple of years earlier than her (’83).

I note in passing that Janet Napolitano was named as the head of the “Arizona Mafia” by NXIVM whistleblower Frank Parlato and in a Twitter thread by researcher Jenny Moore (aka “Task Force”) a few days before she was found dead on August 13, 2018 (see #govLARP).

I have not been named in any of Mr Hoffman’s lawsuits as a Defendant. Why would I be? Despite the frequent claims by Defango & his extended gang of self-described LARPers, I have never knowingly posted anything false about Mr Hoffman. Most of what has been published about him here is his own statements. Last year Mr Hoffman said on the Defango show that his attorneys were now in formal communications with me. This turned out to be false, I have never received any communication from them of any kind. I have interacted directly with Mr Hoffman and his AnOpenSecret previously on Twitter, when they unblocked me to publish more lies about me, then blocked me again when I responded.

Mr Hoffman is welcome to comment here on any of our stories and provide his own evidence contradicting anything he objects to. To date, no such comment has been received.

I have been through this site multiple times looking for any content which could be defamatory against Mr Hoffman, and I’m unable to find anything that goes beyond reasonable and polite discourse about a self-proclaimed public figure – and defending myself from the many false statements this person and his associated large social media accounts have made about me.

Why would Mr Klein advise his client, who is active in at least 4 current defamation cases, to team up with multiple social media platforms to broadcast and embellish his claims, rather than letting the Court resolve them? Why would he advise that it is a good idea for Mr Hoffman to appear twice a week for hours at a time on a channel whose hosts openly state that their purpose is defamation?

Lest I be accused of defamation myself for describing Citizen Zone’s Friday night “Dank Memes Trading Company” as a defamation show, here are hosts Defango and Leppo doing exactly that:

There is no detectable trace of irony here, and indeed much of the content of the shows has been consistent with this description of it.


Latest False Allegations

On the Friday July 17 2020 episode of Dank Memes Trading Company, more than half an hour of the show was dedicated to talking about me. This was because my name and this site is briefly mentioned on Page 17 of Mr Hoffman’s latest court document in his legal pursuit of Thomas Schoenberger in Palm Beach County Court. Mr Hoffman has filed a Motion for Injunctive Relief in response to Mr Schoenberger’s Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction.

502019CA013860XXXXMB_18

The small minor paragraphs mentioning me (and other content creators) in this document seem at odds with such a large amount of time dedicated to publicly smearing myself and my family. It feels like an attempt to pervert the course of justice by intimidating me into co-operating with their lawsuit against Mr Schoenberger.

This latest Plaintiff’s Motion for Injunctive Relief offers 2 clues, buried towards the end on Page 17:

This paragraph refers to two different posts here:

Isaac Kappy Investigation Part 5 – Most High With Eliahi

A858 vs the Cat Ladies Part 2 – Spooky Steven and the Game

Searching the first post for “Hoffman” yields only two hits on the page (the third is another post in the sidebar).

The wording about Mr Hoffman is factually accurate. Mr Hoffman himself said that he was responsible for getting Isaac Kappy’s Twitter account shut down. So how could anyone interpret this as defamatory?


Isaac Kappy’s Dead Man’s Switch

The associated paragraph in the Plaintiff’s Motion references “Isaac Kappy’s Dead Man’s Switch”. Kappy told us directly on video and in writing to his former friends Seth and Clare Green that he had created such a thing:

The claim was also widely publicized in international mainstream media including TMZ.

It is more than plausible that Cicada 3301, a group internationally renowned for containing cryptographic experts good at decoding puzzles, would be able to crack an encrypted file. Thomas Schoenberger is friends with Thomas Pain in the Ass of the Globalists Douglas Gabriel, a former NSA cryptographer and has demonstrated communications with intelligence community members like Robert David Steele and Bijan Kian, General Flynn’s former business partner. So it is also extremely plausible that he has access to such people in his network, even if you share the opinion of a handful of detractors who question the legitimacy of his connection to Cicada 3301.

There appears to have been some kind of confusion (either by accident or design) around the idea that “Z” broke a Keybase file, when in fact “Z” and “X” was the code that lead to this story of Eliahi Priest and Allison Cross.

Source: Thomas Schoenberger twitter account via Wayback Machine

There are a number of characters in this story that the “Z” moniker could be applied to including Zack McQuaid, “Z3301”, and Contact Zero, Eliahi Priest. If you read the actual article about this, it makes sense that it’s Priest, that Kappy could have that information and it could be related to why he spoke ill of Priest before his demise; it also makes sense that X = Cross. Instead military grade LARPers tried to muddy the waters around this really quite significant story, connected to British and Australian intelligence, NATO, the Prime Minister of Australia…into “Titus and Steve said Z3301 cracked a keybase file and he denied it and there was never a keybase file”.

There was some information about Eliahi Priest in this post which came from a source we called Mata Hari. She provided other information that checked out that we have not published. What we did share was published with caveats and redactions and disclaimers, I specifically said:

“All the redactions below have been added by me to preserve peoples’ anonymity. I have no way of knowing if any of this is true so therefore do not endorse [this information] in any way“.

From Isaac Kappy Investigation Part 5 – Most High With Eliahi:

It is difficult to see how this email from Mata Hari could be interpreted to be harmful to Mr Hoffman in any way. He is not even named! This Part 5 of the story is about Eliahi Priest. In the preceding Part 4 of this Kappy investigation, Isaac’s connection to former CIA director John Brennan was discussed; it is unclear whether “GH” refers to his replacement Gina Haspel, or somebody else. Regardless, this person is not accused of any crimes by Mata Hari. Glenn Herman? Kelly Giannini-Harris is someone who met Isaac twice in questionable circumstances and since his death has promoted herself as his best friend. She was married to a criminal biker who did serious time in Broward County, Florida for armed robbery and kidnapping. “Geo Harris” aka “Clownie” is another member of the Famalam with a criminal record who was the supposed keeper of Isaac Kappy’s encrypted files, which is a direct connection to the subject being discussed. There is also another John Brennan around this story (TromaGate) and yet another JB (James Brower, QAnon).

The source of Mata Hari’s information drop was confirmed as legitimate by the actual subject of the information, her ex-lover Eliahi Priest, in the chat of Titus Frost’s show:


RICO SUAVE

Moving on to the second post, Mr Hoffman objects to the word RICO appearing in a Tweet by Mr Schoenberger, feeling that this is specifically directed towards him (despite several others being named in the Tweet).

Source: Twitter

As a show of good faith, and to demonstrate that I bear Mr Hoffman no malice and have no intention of publishing any false information about him, I have now redacted the word RICO from the post – no need to wait for any court determination of if this is a reference to him or defamatory in some way. It seems to be a word that gets thrown around a lot on the Internet but in reality has little to do with civil litigation in Palm Beach County Court. We don’t have it in New Zealand.

This appears to be the complete extent of anything being asked of me from the Plaintiff’s Motion for Injunctive Relief against Defendant Thomas Schoenberger. I have complied regardless of what happens in the case, even if the Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss is granted.

As a further show of good faith, I offer my suggestion that the constant mic problems experienced by Mr Hoffman on Defango’s late night shows may be related to waves crashing into the beach next to his house. Noise travels differently at night than during the day and is affected by the tide and moon phase. Turning automatic volume leveling off may fix the problem.


Defamation Down Under

A large amount of time on the Citizen Zone show was devoted to talking about Defamation law in New Zealand, where I live. There is no indication that Glenn Herman or LadyStephC have law degrees in their own countries, let alone a license to practice law in New Zealand. I at least did a year of Law School here when I was at University, and I have had plenty of legal experience in the 30 years since in this part of the world, the United States and elsewhere.

The statement was made by Glenn and breathily confirmed by alleged Australian StephC that defamation laws are very different in New Zealand to the United States, but the same as Australia, the United Kingdom and Canada. This is not the view of the New Zealand Law Society, but what would they know compared to some LARPers on YouTube?

They also stated that because I am a public figure in my home country (“national treasure” was the term they used at one point) I am definitely more vulnerable to a defamation suit there. This makes no sense. There is no test in defamation in New Zealand about if a person is a public figure, although there is a defense (stated here hypothetically and without prejudice for the purposes of scholarly research) of information in the public interest. The high-profile death of an actor from Thor, Terminator Salvation, Breaking Bad and Vanderpump Rules who had recently visited Australia was big news in New Zealand media. Since then the story has become even more newsworthy with the #MateGate pseudo-scandal starring Eliahi Priest, Isaac Kappy, QAnon and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison. During the COVID-19 crisis, New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has been widely praised in the international media and there are many Australians asking “why can’t we have her?”…meaning Scott Morrison is particularly topical here right now.

Here is some legal advice about defamation law in New Zealand from an actual barrister and solicitor, a partner of Big Three law firm Bell Gully Buddle Weir which was founded in 1840:

A key point about New Zealand defamation law is that the Plaintiff should produce witnesses who confirm that false statements influenced their professional dealings with the Plaintiff:

Have any Kiwis invested in Accipiter Capital Management, Accipiter Life Sciences Fund Offshore I & II (Cayman Islands), Candens Capital, or the various other commercial entities in Mr Hoffman’s corporate web? Have there been unexpected redemptions in any of the funds since Isaac Kappy died? Will those clients now testify that reading Burners.me articles or Thomas Schoenberger sock puppet tweets was more important to their investment decisions than the TSLA stock price? That would be fascinating to discover.


Bringing In The Big Guns

This is by no means the first time Defango’s platform has been used to threaten lawsuits against me, although the actual legal basis for any of this is never stated. It’s just a soft smear, suggesting that I somehow broke some law somewhere but never being called to account for their continual failure to produce details, witnesses or evidence.

In this episode they are escalating the attacks to my family by spreading lies about my marriage. In Dave Acton’s recent fascinating interview on The John and Lee Show, right at the end he said that Jason Goodman had widened his defamation attacks against him to include innocent family members, in order to influence him to back off his lawsuit against Goodman in SDNY – the Epstein, Weinstein, Maxwell, Weiner court.

To be fair to Mr Hoffman, it appears to be mostly the other LARPers on the show like Chavez, Herman, StephC or The Tanya (allegedly Tanya Cornwell, wife of former Defango attorney Steven Biss) who are trying to goad him into yet another legal entanglement. They would take delight, Schadenfreude, in watching a fight that would cost both Hoffman and I a great deal of time and money while bringing no benefit to either of us – or society at large.

Of course, these characters openly admit they are on a role playing channel, so it may just be a case of pawns being used to attack without risking the Queen. “Propaganda ghouls” is how these people describe themselves, taking great pleasure in frequent acknowledgement of their “live chat psyop” and “gaslighting” their audience. We’ve already seen a fake fight this year with Defango ending his “love affair” with his “babe”, now brushed off like it never happened. Similar questionable spats have occurred between this crew and Jacquelyn Weaver, Esteban Trujillo de Gutierrez, Brett Trimble, Lestat, Adam Gingrich and Jack Posobiec.


Mr Herman says after I called him a “pedo enabler” (whatever that is), he called me a “cock sucker” and I blocked him. None of this is true, and I challenge Mr Herman to back up his statements with some proof. Here’s some evidence that he’s lying, you can do the search yourself from an account not blocked by him:

The only interaction I can recall with this guy that comes remotely close is this:

You will note that I never even named Mr Herman.

This is the now-deleted post I’m referring to in the thread above as “yep, that cell”.

It’s interesting to look back at this tweet from May 30 2019 and see how most of the people Lestat was tagging there as his MAGAco colleagues and friends at the time seem to have turned on each other.

I’ve made peace with many of the people Lestat named who objected to being associated with Defango’s Disinformation cell. I had good reason behind my opinion that some of the people in Defango’s network at the time of Kappy’s passing were ‘dark occultists”.











Isaac Mappy

A couple weeks back in an episode of “#LARPLINE” on the Defango troll channel, Glenn Herman said that his co-host Gabe Hoffman should sue me for using Isaac Kappy’s “Mossad Media Matrix” map in the story about Defango LARPing that he created QAnon.

There can be no argument that this Media Matrix image is defamatory to Mr Hoffman when he has posted it himself multiple times to his own Twitter timeline and that of his associated account, and even made fun of colleagues/friends for not being included in the map.

Here is Mr Hoffman denying any connections between Jeffrey Epstein and Mossad:

Mr Hoffman never filed any law suits against Isaac Kappy for any of the things he said about him. The problem went away. It seems that Isaac may have had a genuine reason for drawing the map:

Regular readers of this blog might want to consider the proximity of Jason Goodman, George Webb and InfoWars to the names listed above.

Defango described meeting with his Shadow Broker and Mr Hoffman in Florida over a lunch of grouper. At this meeting he claims that Mr Hoffman tried to recruit him for an operation that seems consistent with this Tweet.

Mr Hoffman has admitted to purchasing Mossad t-shirts as a “gag gift” for his friends Manuel Chavez III, Mindy Robinson and Mike Cernovich.


LARPing Into The Corridors of Power

Both Laura Loomer and “Team Mossad” MMA moll Mindy Robinson are running for Congress on the Republican ticket in 2020. Loomer is in Florida’s 21st Congressional District, ie Palm Beach (up against House Minority leader Lois Frankel, D); Mindy Robinson is in Nevada’s 3rd District, ie Las Vegas (against Susie Lee, D).

Will we soon have LARPers elected into Office? Are they America first, or another country first?

Robinson was recently in a bar brawl, which may have been some sort of LARP publicity stunt.


Zionism is not Judaism

The map Glenn & the gang were discussing on Defango’s LARPer show contains more names than those originally drawn by Isaac Kappy:

The point was repeated on the recent “LARPLINE” show that “some of these people aren’t even Jewish”. This is disingenuous, as there are Christian Zionists on the map with Israeli intelligence ties; for example Jack Posobiec, Steve Bannon, Jerome Corsi, George Webb, Larry Klayman.

The important point here is not “who is and isn’t Jewish”. This is about control of the narrative, not race or religion.

The point is foreign interference in our information stream and the infiltration of alt-media and political movements like #MAGA. Some try to expose it, some deny it and attack the exposers.


Guns For Hire

LARPLine co-host Glenn Herman calls himself “a pioneer in the field of computer integration”. I presume he means “systems integration”, a field that has been around since the 1970’s. Mr Herman’s LinkedIn resumé offers few clues to the nature of his “pioneering”. Though it claims “His experience in e-business design and integration spans both pre and post web”, the earliest work history he provides is from 1995 (post web) and he appears to have graduated from college in 1993 – begging the question, just what sort of pioneering integration was he doing in 93 and 94, and for whom? His web site claims that his work for Prodigy between 1995 and 1998 was “pre Web”, which is amusing as the World Wide Web was well underway by that time, while Prodigy was seen as an archaic dinosaur. It was bought by Carlos Slim after IBM and Sears burned through a billion dollars on it.

Mr Herman said on Dank Memes Trading Company that he doesn’t like me, which is perfectly fine – but does suggest an element of malice underpinning his actions. I’ve never met or spoken with the guy, but obviously making frequent appearances on Defango’s channel is in itself a bold statement about somebody’s character.

He stated that while employed with Prodigy in the 1990’s, he used my product HotDog when he was tasked to evaluate free HTML editors. This is another obvious lie, because my software was not free. We were running a business. The standard version was $29.95 and the Professional version started at $99.95.

I’m pretty sure we actually did end up doing an OEM licensing deal with Prodigy, but this was 25 years ago and I can’t show you a record now to confirm that. Prodigy did host a competing product ironically called “Hippie”:

Mr Herman claims to hold security clearances with multiple government agencies. Which makes all the Russian stuff on his Facebook page quite curious…

1985 is at the height of the Cold War, years before the Berlin Wall came down and the Westernization reforms of Yeltsin, Gorbachev and Putin made Moscow an easily accessible tourist destination. “Saint Petersburg” was still called Leningrad back then. Suzdal has been called “the world’s most Russian city”.

The late Michael Aquino said that most of the information behind MindWar and the Human Transformation Project (a big driver of both Burning Man and Transhumanism in the SF Bay Area) came from Russia, via the Esalen Institute (aka DARPA’s Occult Base):

Recently on Defango’s show Mr Herman said that he “knew for a fact” that alt-right operative Jack Posobiec was paid by Russia in Bitcoin to disseminate their propaganda. Posobiec did not deny the claim.

On LARPLine Mr Herman stated that his father was a “famous scientist”. The famous New York scientist Robert Herman only had daughters; perhaps it was NASA’s Jay Herman, who appears to have done work related to strategic atmospheric aerosol spraying, aka “chemtrails”.

In between LARPing on Defango’s channel and “IT consulting”, he works as an instructor at “Manhattan’s right wing safe space”, the Westside Rifle and Pistol Range, where Robert de Niro’s character Travis Bickle trained in Taxi Driver.

CONCLUSION

Thank you for reading this far. A post like this on my personal blog is as much about clarifying my position on the public record to combat disinformation as it is about entertaining and informing the audience. I hope I managed to achieve that too.

I have not mentioned Mr Hoffman here since my responses months ago to lies about me promoted on his various platforms – see Response to Gabe Hoffman/An Open Secret False Allegations (Nov 2019), and An Open Secret Asks Why? Here’s Why (Dec 2019), Tackling the Leopard Misled (Feb 2020). I have never had any intention to defame him and harbor no malice towards him. Nor have I ever received any accusation from him that I have defamed him. We have never received any requests from Mr Hoffman or his attorneys to alter content reported on this site – just demands from behind a Twitter block to “disavow” people. He is welcome to leave a comment here about anything he disagrees with and provide evidence of his own.

As far as I can tell Mr Hoffman’s issue seems to have been about “promoting” (discussing) content from others which he alleges is incorrect or defamatory. I have tried to make some concessions here towards that in good faith, and the ball is now in his court to do the same with respect to the many false, derogatory and defamatory statements about me that remain posted on his social media platforms.

If Mr Hoffman, Mr Herman, Mr Chavez and their associates want to keep joining forces for hours on end to create videos that spread falsehoods about me, I may be forced to create more content in response in order to defend myself – without prejudice and with all rights reserved in all jurisdictions.

Don’t we all have better things to do? There is a global health crisis and economic crisis. People are dying in the hundreds of thousands, in many places the plague is continuing to get worse.

Imagine if all this energy put into LARPing and lawsuits could instead be put into peace and prosperity and health and happiness! For those who are suffering and less fortunate than us, as well as for ourselves and our loved ones.

#JustSaying

LARPWars Part 4 – Was Fox (in Socks) Doxxed, or did Fox Doxx (in Socks)?

DISCUSSION OF INFORMATION IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST

LARPWars are the new Meme Wars.

Previous coverage:

Part 1 – Proliferation of Lawfare

Part 2 – Moving the Goalposts

Part 3 – ShadowBox

In Part 3 we talked about “Shadow Box”, a “reputation defense” firm created by Well Traveled Fox, Thomas Schoenberger, Defango and Trevor Fitzgibbon. In this post we delve more into the claims made by Fox.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6


Was Fox Doxxed?

How dare I say I believer her! So outrageous.

In their recent interview, Lestat asked Fox specifically about my claim to have interviewed her extensively, which she dismissed as untrue. She said “he doxxed me and then we exchanged a few DMs, he wanted to know about the Seth Rich files”.

This information is false, and I am forced to respond. Below is my complete interaction with Fox. You be the judge of if this was “just a few DMs” or if my characterization that “I interviewed her extensively” was correct. She is not the innocent and unwitting victim that she tries to portray on social media, far from it. This person connects many of the LARPs together. Is that by accident, coincidence…or design?

Watch what happens with this post – I predict I will be demonized for “attacking” Fox, when all I am doing is sharing her own words that prove that she has been deliberately misleading people about our interactions.

First of all, I never doxxed her. I did not publish any private information that she had not already put in the public domain herself.

When I wrote about Q I didn’t know who this woman was, to me she was just part of the Cicada 3301 crew who were creating ARG puzzles with Thomas Schoenberger and certified IARPA contributor Manuel Chavez III aka Defango aka LARPWars aka MC Dummy Dumb aka Il1usiveMan. Thomas was only somebody I knew because he was doxxed by Defango, who used to work for him.

Fox’s name was brought up by Thomas in his explanation of connections between QAnon and Cicada 3301. I quoted in my story what Thomas told me were some of the Cicada 3301 elements that played into the origins of Q. He listed a bunch of people who were part of his team doing Cicada puzzles. If he was naming people who must not be named, then that’s on him.

You shouldn’t expect the messenger to divine all the subtle nuances and implications of each message. In this case Fox’s claim that nobody knew her identity before I interviewed Thomas is completely false. Here’s the evidence.

When Fox contacted me to object to her first name being in my January 2019 story, I immediately redacted it. I never published her address, phone number, or any other personal information. Her full name and connection to Cicada 3301 has been public since May 2018, as a quick Google search for “Cicada 3301 trademark” reveals.

Note the date of the second one: Dec 4 2018

If it’s fine for her to put her name with Cicada 3301 for official public documents that come up on page 1 of a search, why would I think that she only wants to be known by an alias? Why not use a pseudonym or LLC to file the trademark if secrecy was so important? Still, out of courtesy, I didn’t link to the trademark in that story in order to protect her privacy.

Defango had doxxed Fox in the previous year (2018) with her full name and threatened to ruin the life of her, her husband and her family, all over the Cicada trademark:

Why is Fox more upset with me quoting TS using her first name than with Defango making violent threats to her and her family? That’s a legitimate question to ask, right? Well I’ve asked it, so have others…her response was deleting her Twitter account for the umpteenth time.


#All4aLARP?

For reference, here is the original Q post I wrote in January 2019 featuring these characters:

There is a whole crew of people clustered around Defango who hate Thomas Schoenberger. Some of them now hate Defango too. If you’re on Twitter or YouTube it’s easy to find them. Just like or comment on one of Thomas’s posts and then they will start targeting you too!

I knew when I interviewed Thomas that it would be controversial, and I fully expected attacks as a result of including his version of the narrative. However I never in a million years could have imagined the response that happened. Constant, round the clock attacks every day. Lawsuits. All kinds of character assassination attacks, smears without evidence to the reputation I’ve built over a lifetime. Attacks on my family. Accusations of murder, money laundering, pedophilia. I maybe expected that sort of thing going up against the Burning Man Organization, and indeed experienced a great deal of such lesser black magick warfare. It was nothing compared to what has happened to me merely for sharing Thomas’ side of the story.

I’ve never even met Thomas Schoenberger, yet these people who lived with him, worked with him, financed him, even loved him accuse me of being his “associate, lackey, minion, agent, handler, employer, enabler, colleague”.

The more these people attack me (and many others) for what they define as an “association” with Thomas , the more their true character is on display for the world to see – and showing them to be just as TS described. Even though many of them seem to be vile, spiteful people – literal trolls, many of them ex-cons – there is surely nobody on earth who is consumed with that much malice and misery. There is more going on here. As emotional as many of the attackers are, emotion itself is not their overarching motive. Do you really care about who people you’ve never met are friends with on social media? Whose posts they like? Me neither! So what’s up with these cats?

It is interesting that Defango pushed the same narrative as Fox in response to my first ever Q post: that I doxxed him. He filed a dozen false copyright strikes for clips I edited to show what he said in his own words (so there could be no argument that I was misquoting him). He put his home address on the complaint form to Vimeo, and they sent me an email with that information just as I was publishing the post. I didn’t read the letter far enough to see his details in it, I just copy-pasted it. When he objected, I immediately redacted the address – just as I did with Fox’s name in this post. Technically Vimeo doxxed him, but he freely volunteered the information to them himself and agreed to their terms that it would be shared.

In Fox’s case, I never published her full name, likeness, phone number, address, LinkedIn profile, Facebook account, photographs, family details, or any other personally identifiable information. Just the name “B[REDACTED]” as a quote from Thomas.

In almost 2000 posts on this blog, many of them on controversial topics, many people being upset to have their actions discussed in a critical manner, I’ve never run into this problem before. Just these two people from this one post – which happens to be the first one I’ve ever done on Q. #All4aLARP ?

Here’s the original comment with Fox’s name from her former lover Thomas Schoenberger, sharing his story about the origins of Q.

In the original post instead of [NAME REDACTED] it said “Beth”. That’s doxxing, really?

The argument that merely stating Fox’s first name is doxxing is thrown out by the behavior of Lestat’s mods, who were happy to use her name in the chat of his interview with no reprimand. You can clearly see the double standard: if I say the name they accuse me of doxxing, but when Lestat’s mods Esteban (CIA/DEA), Monkey Savant (known troll), Vinny (Temple of Set) and Diane say it? Everything’s kosher.


Fox Speaks

The following is presented to prove:

  • I’m not making up a claim that Fox put $50,000+ into ShadowBox, that’s what she told me and I verified it – more than once.
  • I interviewed her extensively as I said, not “never” like Lestat claims or “a couple of DMs” like Fox claims.
  • I’ve represented what she told me accurately and never misrepresented any of it.
  • I respected her request to be left alone after someone – maybe Thomas, more likely an enemy of Thomas – attacked her husband’s LinkedIn page by snitching on their love affair.

People need to learn that they can’t lie about me forever without any repercussions. Just because I let them run their mouth off for a while, doesn’t mean I will never respond. I always post evidence, which puts me in a stronger position should any lawsuits arise. Of course, everyone else is invited to post their own evidence – in the comments here, or post it somewhere else and share the link here. I’m happy to be proven wrong, so far in nearly 8 years of writing this blog that hasn’t really happened, despite what you might hear from trolls like Jason Goodman, Jan Irvin, or their psyop sidekick Douglas Dietrich. Is Fox another one of those low-lifes?

As you can see, Fox contacted me specifically in relation to the research I am publishing at this blog. Extensive? Just a couple of DMs? We report, you decide…

She is tired of people making her a character for their narrative. And yet she goes on Lestat’s show to portray me falsely as a fictional villain in his narrative.


I have shared all Fox’s information without editing. I hope you will agree that “interviewed her extensively” was an appropriate characterization.


Fox With Socks Doxxes Socks

As it turns out, Fox was the one working with doxxers:

Bobby “The Lone Cicada” and “Farkness Thee Failmon” above are the same people. This guy brags about his penis size and his fetlife profile, which is perhaps acceptable behavior within the LGBTQI+/BDSM community but not acceptable when speaking to someone who they know is a minor. He is saying that the doxxing information about Mind Inspired and Snow White that he published came from (and was paid for) by Fox.

Thomas’s story has been confirmed to me by both the victims who were doxxed. One is a single mother of young children with an abusive ex. There may have been an emotional motivation behind it:

Both Thomas and Mindy deny any kind of intimate relationship, so this seems like jealousy – which is further confirmation of TS’s claims that he and Fox had an extra-marital affair. Why else would she consider TS’s relationships with others “cheating”? Fox wonders why I consider her a bad person, I’m not sure what her wedding vows were so I’m in no position to judge. Perhaps this was the typical behavior of a good person. I used to live in San Francisco, where more than once a wife introduced me to her husband’s boyfriend or girlfriend. People have open relationships, it’s very European. To each their own. Every Fox has its henhouse.

Thomas has also shared evidence of another minor being targeted by people in this group. A disturbing pattern given that Defango was one of the main people scoffing that #PizzaGate as a LARP and has now teamed up with others who also push that narrative.

Here Defango appears to be stalking a female police officer:

Long after everyone in ShadowBox went their separate ways – on the surface, at least – Fox was still in touch with TS, and seemingly confused:

Jason Goodman “Crippled” By My Opening Legal Salvo

Playing the victim has brought Jason Goodman this far. A channel with 85,700 subscribers that he can’t stream to. A long list of burned bridges from former guests on his show that he later betrayed. A mounting number of lawsuits across the country.

We’re facing in 2020 an exciting leap year of intense political action. Will Jason be able to cover it live? Or will his days be spent pushing paper and sweating bullets over his increasingly numerous legal entanglements?

He’s talking about the copyright strike I gave him for doxxing my family. “Leave my family out of it” is a pretty reasonable and fair request, I would hope anyone would agree with that. If he chooses to ignore it then he must accept responsibility for the consequences of his decisions.

Sadly, instead of owning up to his actions Goodman chose a childish move, striking my video in petty retaliation – even though I didn’t play anything from his channel. I was forced to upload another one with the clips he objected to edited out:

It would be easy for Mr Goodman to do the same. Remove my copyrighted work from his video and re-upload it. Why does he choose lawsuits instead? Is the plan to tug on the heart strings of his audience to fund his pro se legal defenses with superchats? Perhaps Jason is looking longingly at the lucrative fundraising his frequent guest “Vabelle Danger” aka Robyn Gritz has been doing off her FBI wrongful dismissal claim. Her GoFundMe’s about to enter into its third year, even though the basis of her claim seems weak since she resigned in 2013 rather than being dismissed (she’s kept herself busy working at the Macy’s Cosmetics counter and as a Senior Fellow at the London Center for Policy Research).

Maybe Mr Goodman is seeing crowdsourced dollar signs after interviewing his other recent guest, the multi-million dollar king of them all, Sawman.

This stops child sex trafficking. Donate now. $2 million’s not enough

To remove his strike from my channel, I filed a counter-notification. Jason Goodman now has ten business days to file a new lawsuit against me, making his argument that playing modified versions of his clips from a comedy channel infringes his rights. It will be interesting to see what legal basis he comes up with, since the clips are marked parody which is specifically mentioned as acceptable Fair Use.


Outtrim v Goodman

Last week Jason Goodman filed an objection to my copyright claim.

The video linked is CryptoBeast #16 – Queen Tut Spills the Beans. I’m not aware of ANY false information in it, which is eyewitness testimony of a whistleblower formerly inside his operation whose story has been verified from multiple sources.

I might be a public figure, but the other person in the photograph is not. Nor is she an employee of a UN-linked agency.

Mr Goodman thinks he has the right to take peoples’ Facebook photos and display them in high definition without modification for two minutes on his channel, even if the images were privacy restricted to only be available on Facebook. Pretend to be someone’s friend so you can steal their photos, then monetize them on your stream while begging for donations and “pateon” subscriptions. He will be arguing in Court that the law somehow lets him do all of this, but I don’t think he will find much case law he can cite in support of this idea. Even if he could make a successful argument that showing a photo for minutes without specifically discussing it is somehow Fair Use, that doesn’t override the right to privacy.

YouTube’s legal process requires me to file a lawsuit against Jason Goodman to settle his dispute of my copyright claim. So I wrote to the Magistrate Judge in the most local of all his lawsuits, Sweigert v Goodman in the Southern District of New York asking permission to file a Motion to Intervene. The issues in the two cases are almost identical, because Jason Goodman doesn’t just occasionally behave like this, he has built his entire multi-national operation on a consistent and readily identifiable pattern of fake news, lies, defamation and smear campaigns – all of which I can prove with evidence that meets the Federal Standards.

Think I’m kidding? Here is evidence of an active whisper campaign he is doing right now, contacting people he sees me communicating with to smear my character. Unfortunately for him most of the people I like to associate with in the research community are actually researchers too. They have critical thinking and logic skills, and the sleight-of-mind tricks that work on Jason’s mostly boomer audience aren’t going to turn out the same way with them. You can see in this conversation how that went for him…

“He claims I was in Ukraine fomenting revolution in 2013” – I challenge Mr Goodman to provide a citation showing where I ever made that claim. The Maidan Revolution was actually in 2014. Was this a Freudian slip, revealing he was involved with AeroEscape LLC which was incorporated in 2013? You can read my coverage (evidence-backed, as always) at Insane in the Ukraine Part 3 – Sheep Dipping the Truther (also Part 1 and Part 2).


Battleground 1: Pink Umbrella Court

Here’s my letter to the Magistrate Judge in New York:

Address-Clean-Letter-Motion-to-Intervene-Steve-Outtrim-Case-SDNY-1-18-cv-08653-d2

Mr Goodman freaked out and immediately returned to his conspiracy theory defense.

magistrate-stewart-d-aaron-issues-ORDER-against-Jason-Goodman

This guy has no shame – he is gaslighting the Judge. He says “Outtrim wrote a declaration in support of the Plaintiff’s motion to intervene”. This is completely false, it’s not what happened at all. Jason as the Defendant wrote an Opposition to the Motion to Intervene in which he named myself, Titus Frost and a host of others in a vast (and vastly illogical) conspiracy theory, using likes on Steemit posts to somehow stop his “truth” from coming out. Several of us who were named in Goodman’s statement wrote letters to the Judge swearing under penalty of perjury (ie. voluntarily putting ourselves in legal jeopardy if we were lying) that his claims were completely false. Mine was titled “Statement in Response to Defendant’s Opposition to Motion to Intervene”. It was not in support of any Plaintiff motions. Nor was it in support of the intervenor-applicant. It was a direct response to the unsubstantiated nonsense in Jason Goodman’s Defendant’s Statement of Opposition. The Virginia Judge refused to let Goodman bring us into his suit, ruling that we were non-parties. Goodman is trying to twist these facts into a claim that I filed a Motion to Intervene in his Virginia case which was denied by the Judge – a complete lie.

The New York Judge didn’t waste any time, issuing an Order denying Jason’s motion for a deadline extension.

This greatly upset Jason. He has a YouTube channel to run, these pesky Judges’ Orders get in the way! So he seems to have thought “maybe if I send the Judge an email with some more conspiracy theory allegations, he’ll change his mind and grant an extension so I can really ‘Close In’ with Charles Motel”

Jason Goodman emailed the Judge:

Date: November 13, 2019 at 7:53 PM
Subject: Re: 1:18-cv-08653-VEC-SDA, Sweigert v. Goodman
Thank you your honor, however Mr. Outtrim’s inappropriate actions have revealed new evidence that is extremely significant and must be included in my answer.  Outtrim’s latest action provides further proof of the alleged conspiracy between Plaintiff and others including Outtrim. 

This causes me to request that you reconsider today’s order given the following circumstances:

Irrespective of Mr. Outtrim’s denial of intervention, his reason for attempting to intervene changes my answer and requires additional time to complete. Prior to emailing you inappropriately, Mr. Outtrim submitted a fraudulent complaint to YouTube that has crippled my online business by preventing me from live streaming my daily broadcasts to my audience of 85,000 viewers.  This has negatively impacted my income and is a clear example of the ongoing extrajudicial steps Plaintiff and his associates have taken in their persistent and escalating effort to disrupt my day to day life, my business and my ability to defend myself in this legal mater.

Online broadcasting is my full time job and primary source of income.  The YouTube penalty will continue indefinitely IF Outtrim is able to demonstrate to Google that he has an active lawsuit against me for the same claim he has submitted to YouTube.  It is extremely important to my defense that I have the additional time requested so I may adequately explain and present the relevant facts and details related to shed light on this newest development and so the court may consider these facts in rendering its decision.

I respectfully request that you reconsider the order and allow me the time extension.  I stand ready to submit another motion for extention of time if that would please the court.

Jason Goodman, Defendant Pro Se

“Crippled” his business? He is still Premiering his videos live, which means he should be able to receive superchats and talk directly to his audience. He never interacts with the chat on his show anyway, except to delete any “trolls” who dare to question the narrative, or to post the links for his subscriptions. I haven’t gone after his Patreon or Subscribestar accounts…yet. So how is his business hurt in any way? Meanwhile my family is suffering greatly from him doxxing my wife, and I am defamed per se by him accusing me of “murdering” someone who was hit by a car in a different country, whose death was ruled suicide by vehicle.

He is also directly lying to the Judge that the YouTube copyright strike penalty is indefinite. It’s for 90 days.

His logic doesn’t add up either. He says his business is crippled while the lawsuit is going on; yet he says he wants to delay the lawsuit and stretch it out longer.

Jason’s case is jumbled and confused, and it seems that he is trying the patience of the legal system. Reconsider the Order? Who does he think he is? The judge made another Order, slapping him down again:

Jason Goodman’s response to the Second Amended Complaint was due today, November 14. He was given a choice whether to file what he was asked to three weeks ago; or file another Motion for the Judge to reconsider his denial of an extension.

Jason filed another Motion, in which he lies to the judge again and gets his own pronouns confused.

This is plainly nonsense. Why would the Plaintiffs file a motion to intervene in their own case? As I pointed out earlier, I did not write anything in support of the intervenor-applicant. Defendant Jason Goodman brought up my name and I wrote a letter to the Court categorically denying all of his claims. There was no ruling from the Judge about frivolous claims or abuse of process. In fact, the Judge spent 7 pages of a 14-page Memorandum Opinion going through the legal basis of rejecting the Motion to Intervene. There would be no need to do that for a frivolous claim, she could have just denied the Motion.

Did Jason just copy and paste his latest New York Motion? Maybe from one of Klarry Layman‘s documents? Did his close pal Laura Loomer help out? Either that or the Tinder Predator is getting rather confused about how he identifies:

He also swore under penalty of perjury that he sent a letter via email to a physical post office:

This is what happens with liars – they just can’t help themselves.

Jason asked for a week extension. The Judge finally caved on this third attempt, granting Jason an extension – but only for the weekend.

Can Mr Goodman see the rabbit hole he is digging for himself? The next stage of this case is the interrogatory discovery requests, due by next Thursday Nov 21.


Meanwhile, in Virginia

Jason Goodman recently had to appear in Court in one of the other defamation and slander lawsuits against him, Steele et al v Goodman et al in the Eastern District of Virginia.

He started out a bit confused:

The judge had to explain to the Defendant that he can’t give him legal advice:

There was a whole discussion about Goodman’s dick pics. He tried to get them taken out of the case, but it got shut down.

His claim that “I have never live-streamed a phone call with anyone without telling them” is another falsehood. I’ve personally witnessed him doing this to Laura Loomer (having an airport meltdown over her luggage), the New York Post and the Washington Post (where he used the social engineering technique of pretending to be someone else by using Kevin Marsden’s complaint ticket number). He also frequently records conversations without permission or even notification then broadcasts them, such as this one with Douglas Gabriel from American Intelligence Media.

By the end of his first day in Court, Goodman felt that anything he said would be inappropriate. The judge said that was probably true, since they were only there to set the trial date.

It’s going to be a busy 12 months of legal responses for Mr Goodman. I hear there are other lawsuits pending for him too…including two I’m aware of in California. At some point wouldn’t it be better to go back to “truth”, like the title of his channel? Surely that is preferable to trying to frame people for murders of suicide victims, shutting down ports, training people how to modify household appliances into directed energy weapons, and the rest of his LARPing antics.
