BAD CHEMASTRY: WHEN CHLOROFORM AND "MONOXIDE" CLASH
When I get an e-mail, pm, im, or lately, dvd,s flash memory cards and even hard drives, and they begin with "please do not tell...." I know things are going to be interesting.
Lately, this is exactly what has been happening.
History, in my case, has actually been repeating itself. Around two years ago or so, there was dissent in the ranks of a few that were umm "causing problems." I started to get instant messages and e-mails, most of which would start "please do not tell....who I am.....where you got this, etc. " and would contain the most interesting secrets about the so called trouble maker.
Things progressed rather quickly to the point where I wound up with two pc's and a lap top. the latter being purchased from it's owner.
Needless to say all contained some rather personal and potentaly damaging information about a large number of posters on message boards and presumably PRIVATE forums.
For some strange reason, people are naieve enough to believe that when they log into a PRIVATE message board, forum,chat or blog, that their comments and other information will remain private.
History, over the last two months has repeated itself. Up until a few weeks ago, I was getting mostly e-mails, pm's, the occasional phone call, and even a number of dvd's.
That all changed, however, when I recieved offers of entire pc's either free or for next to nothing. I was a bit startled at these offers until I was able to take the "seller's" offers and began to see just what was on these machines (a total of 9 to date and more to get). It turns out the information contained within these things were more useful and understandable when obtained complete rather than individual files as I had been getting in the past.
I was able to combine my "shopping sprees"with other concerns on my recent travels to pick these devices up.
About now, everyone is scratching their heads and wondering why someone would go to the trouble of:
A: Send me this stuff and offer to give or sell real cheap,their devices.
B: traveling TO where these devices are located and also meet "interested parties" that have to do with some questions I have been trying to get answered for some time.
There is actually more than one answer to A; The primary answer is that for reasons of their own, the individuals have decided it is in their best interest to "come clean" and be rid of the device one way or another.
Another answer to A: Is disention in the ranks. It seems that the leaders of these groups have betrayed the trust of their followers and have made certain threats. The net result has been the leaders sending me information and the followers sending me information.
This progressed from the simple sending of "interesting" e-mails, photos and screenshots to sending me dvd's and memory devices and finally to sending hard drives, portable storage devices, and even complete pc's.
This led me to reason B: having to fly around to pick these things up as well as meeting with the "seller" to get supporting information.
I had not expected more to come of this than the usual e-mail or other standard communication as there was dissent within the ranks of some of these groups and the members contacting me for their own reasons. Something akin to "no honor among theives " being the rule here.
In other cases, the leaders of the vary same groups would send me information on some of their followers that they had issues with or with other groups leaders and members for the same reason.
This was the original reason for the Trust, post which nobody seemed to get.
I had not intended to be forthcoming about what the nature of the information I was getting and how until I recieved the link to a rather interesting video.
The contents of the video was the reason I made the post wanting to know who the two women are that I wrote about.
The person who sent me the link has distributed the video on a certain stream site and is in the process of e-mailing the link of the video to individuals who the sender feels worthy of this material.
The sender also says the video will be on at least youtube.com and perhaps some other "mainstream" streaming sites after the most extreme elements are edited out in order to meet their tos requirements.
When this video is seen, it will not shed a good light on this single mother. I still am not going to say who either of the women are in the video, even though I have recieved absolute and undenialable proof as to who they are.
I also am not going to post the link. It is against the tos of the blog host to link videos of such an explicit nature. You can take that for what it is worth.
I gave this information out so that the subject of the video will know that it is not me that released it but "one of your most trusted friends" who decided to do so after being betrayed.
I leave you all with this simple message:
The private, chat rooms, blogs, forums etc. you are in are not private.
The private, e-mails, personal messages, instant messages and phone calls are not private.
The leaders of your favorite blogs, chats etc, are not as honerable or trustworthy as you may think. If you think otherwise, you may be in for a rude awakening.
Well, it is off to see what other gifts lay in wait in my mail box.

WHO ARE THESE WOMEN?
I need to know if anyone knows who either of these women are. It is vary important.
You can leave a comment here, or, as I would prefer, send me an e-mail with the appropriate information to:
MURT@MURTWITNESSONE.COM
UPDATE: IT NOW TURNS OUT THAT THE E-MAIL THAT STARTED THE EVENTS WRITTEN ABOUT IN THIS POST WAS A HOAX MEANT TO SET ME UP. ONCE I REVEAL JUST WHO IS THE AUTHOR OF THE LETTERS ALONG WITH THE CLEAR CUT PROOF TO BACK THIS CLAIM UP, MABIE PEOPLE WILL UNDERSTAND THE LACK OF CREDABILITY THIS PERSON HAS.
ARE YOU NEXT?
Someone on another blog posted this. I used to use this poem in the past when making the argument about this kind of cyber censorship. Sadly it still fits almost 3 years after I first cited it:

STFU....OR ELSE
Something sinister is happening on the internet. It now appears to be accepted practice that, if someone disagrees with your opinion or gets banned from a forum, chat room, or blog, that threats are made that if you do not STFU, and unending campign of cyber bullying, cyber, smearing, prank phones, and other widespread attempts at cyber censorship will take place.
Rather than have a civilized discussion about how I run my broadcasts, and chats. A few out on the internet insist of conducting an investigation almost at a level of law enforcement.
For some odd reason it seems imparitive for some out there to do a thorough background starting from the day I was born up to the present day and then post virtually all of this information on the internet.
Some also feel it imparitive to post the personal information about my fiance and engage in the same kind of cyber terrorism targeted at me.
There has always been the same excuse by those who engage in these tactics which is;"You posted your name address etc. on the internet for all to see."
Yes, that is true, for the simple reason that I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO HIDE. I do not feel the need to hide behind anon usernames or e-mail accounts for I have nothing to be ashamed of.
Have I made mistakes? Yes, and I have admitted to those mistakes many times over.
This brings me to this point. MY FIANCE HAS NEVER POSTED ANY OF HER PERSONAL INFORMATION ANYWHERE. I never told ANYONE on the internet her last name.
Yet SOMEONE SOMEWHERE found out her full name and posted it on the internet. They even gleefully posted any and all information about why they THOUGHT was her.
As it turns out they wound up tormenting some poor woman who had the bad luck of having the same name as my fiance.
The question is why such dramatic efforts?
The answer is quite simple. It is intimidation by those out there who want to silence me and others. It is a propaganda tool by those who do not believe in our constitutional rights to freedom of expression, ie: freedom of speech.
It is a campign from others who felt they were onto a money making machine, and when they were rejected they sought to get even because they felt that "If I cannot make any money off of this, well, neither will you." or "If we shut him down, we can make the money ourselves."
Recent events seem to indicate proof that the latter is true.
WHAT DOES NOT GET POSTED is the fact that in all of their thorough searches they did NOT find ANYTHING that would even come close to being even a minute scandal.
They have NOT posted, is that I have NO criminal history OF ANY KIND.
There are NO records ANYWHERE of any civil actions, no lawsuits, nothing.
There are NO records of complaints against ANY of my businesses with any agency that regulates these businesses.
There are no divorce records anywhere.
What does not get posted are the POSITIVE parts of my background, some of which I am happy does not, for at least some portions of my life can remain private.
There are a lot inconvenient truths out there for those with the skills to find them. Those who have found them have elected to remain quiet for the simple reason that it would undo their efforts.
That brings me to this one point. None of these actions are called for and are a serious breech of ethics both on and off the internet.
There is an old saying out there "If you do not like the show, change the channel."
Not only do these people not change the channel, they keep coming back.
Some have even gone so far as to gain unauthorized access to my e-mail accounts, web sites, myspace, photobucket and other sites to steal information contained within these locations or change the content within the accounts and, in some cases, post pornography.
Some have opened paypal accounts using my name in an attempt to raise funds for their own greedy purposes.
In their terrorism, they intimidate those who are subscribers of my chats, and websites, by investing THEIR backgrounds and then publishing THEIR information on public chat sites, forums, and message sites.
Some start blogs where they steal my content and that of other blogs for the specific purpose of conducting their own [ersonal smear campign. They even do a lot of these things IN PRIVATE most likely due to the fact that they realise that they are liable for their actions, and in some cases, may be breaking the law.
Many of these people will go to the various chat and message sites and log in using fake usernames so nobody will know who they truely are for the sole purpose of sabatoging the site.
Some of these people engage in the serious breech of ethics of publishing PRIVATE, instant messaging, PRIVATE messages and e-mails.
The excuse today is that "it is just the internet" or "nothing is private" on the internet anymore.
The problem with that excuse is that it is true. Honesty no longer exists on the internet. You cannot trust someone that when you tell them something that is meant to be private, will stay private.
You cannot trust someone that when you send them a PRIVATE message, that it will stay PRIVATE.
You cannot trust someone that when you send them a PRIVATE e-mail, that it will be private.
When someone contacts you, you cannot trust that they are who they are, believe in what they say they believe in, or keep any promise they make.
In short, you cannot trust anyone to keep their word.
In order to accomplish their goals these people will lie, cheat, break the law, violate the fundamental rules of ethics of society no matter the harm it does to the target of their actions.
Out of all of this comes a fundamental truth. What goes around comes around. In order to carry out some of these activities, a certain level of trust is needed between those involved.
If one of them becomes dissatasfied, feels wronged, has power taken away or is otherwise disenfranchised or disallusioned, that one can start the process against the others.
I made the statement once that I do not trust ANYONE on the internet.
That, sadly,should be true for EVERYONE.
Your closest friend on the internet could be your worst enemy.
THAT closest friend could lie cheat and steal in order to "get you" or "get even."
Rather than the internet being a place to meet new friends and engage in good social interactions, it will become a place for hermits who only log onto the internet to read comic books, watch viral videos, or download music.
I close with this. There will be those who will mock and complain about this entry. They will come here and call me names, and attempt to post their lies about me.
I am here to give this warning. It is not that you may be next, it is that you WILL be next. As others see the power that is to be had by engaging in these tactics, someone somewhere who has an issue with YOU will come after YOU.
Enjoy that which you do on to others as others will enjoy what they do onto you.

SAY WHAT?
I have recieved word that the owner of BH asked for funds (conations etc) and "wants a retraction or face the consequences. Well,read on:
According to the following sources, the owner has sought funds for anything for finding a place to live, to purchase items thus making money by her smearing of ME.
SOURCE: #1: http://www.cafepress.com/beaconhell
This store actually goes along with source #3: as it was set up when that post was made. The product line has changed since the time of that post.
SOURCE #2:http://www.zazzle.com/suedehead
The t-shirt on this store site may be a copyright violation since MURTARD is used by my room and also uses a portion of a copyrighted name of a business registered in the State of Florida.
Source #3: A DIRECT appeal for members to buy items from her store in order "get an apartment"
I would suggest that if the owner of Beaconhell.com disputes this claim she contact the source.
Stay Tuned

Brand Spankin New Store!!
That’s right! Now you, too can support the beaconhell.com cause by sporting our swag. Not only will you be helping me raise money to get a place to live since that horrible Darwin is throwing his poor brother out into the cold streets, but you’ll also look pretty darn cool sporting a beaconhell tshirt or our “go green” eco shopping tote. Check it out. I’m ordering my tote and caps for all the guys!!! woot!

The specific claim of donations came from this site:

Anonymous said... So, let's recap.
Mono laughed at WS and BH for taking donations.
Then the tool begs like a baby for money from his members, and "forgets" to pay his HostGator bill.
WTF did he spend the donations on, hookers and blow, LMFAO?
I would suggest that if the owner of Beaconhell.com disputes this claim she contact the source.

CAR WARS
The owner of the brain dead blog is threatening to post another lie, this one about the dealership I own and operate. The dealership is not a charity, it is a retail sales operation that sells vehicles to the public, wholesale to other dealers directly or through dealer auctions as well as leases built to order communication vehicles, primarily news vans.
Their goal as one regular poster over stated is to "make certain that Murt does not make ANY money at all." which means that it is their intent to drive me into poverty and not be able to make a living by any means.
They want me unemployed, pure and simple.
Their efforts has already cost me money in lost sales as well as the expenses I have already had from countering the vast number of lies coming out of her blog by her and her members.
Their biggest gripe seems to be the so called donations they accuse me of raking in off the members of my chat/broadcast site. Up to today those have been lies.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AN UPDATE:
One of my biggest critics regarding donations is a moderator of a chat site where, guess what, THEY SEEK DONATONS! They do have the disclaimer that it is to maintain the site (pay expenses) and NOT having to do with the cases they discuss.

TRUST
One last post on the current path before reaching that turning point.
The one thing I have been repeatadly reminded of is that I trust people too much. I suppose it comes from a generation where someone's word meant something. It meant that a handshake or simple "you have my word" was enough for all parties to keep their agreements.
Trust also meant that when someone sent a Personal Message, it was just that. The cardinal rule of the internet since the on line experience began was that ALL personal messages and e-mails were kept private.
That is no longer the case and has not been for quite some time. This is a generational thing apparently. The standard of behavior often referred to as nettiquite apparently has not taken hold with the new subscribers of the internet.
I experienced this breech of trust, first with the many volunteers who came forward with the standard "I want to be a mod" "can I help?" to which requests I had first turned down.
When I started the broadcast streams on the road, I had not intended to have my own chat. I had arranged to use existing chats on Topix and a number of message sites rather than to run and maintain my own chat site.
When I opened the Ustream chat at the urging of the members back then, I did so with me as the sole moderator. This worked out well until the trolls arrived. One thing led to another and I finally gave in to the flood of offers and brought aboard my first group of moderators.
This was the start of a series of problems of one kind or another with these volunteers as it turns out they either came aboard with the single minded purpose of sabatoging the chat or, not having the kind of leadership skills necessary to operate a chat room properly, made policy and ran the chat according to their personal agendas and personality conflicts with other members.
Trust also proved to be my weakness when it involved the transfer from one server to another when the owners and staff , again, volunteered to be the hosts of the chat and administer both the stream and broadcast sites.
This again proved to be a serious error for it turns out there were a group of individuals who liked nothing to do but ruin someone's hard work for the sake of LULZ.
That trust cost me a lot. It has also taught me that the internet is no longer a gathering place for the enlightened and friendly groups who gather in our virtual rooms and persue our interests.
Instead the internet is nothing more than a toy.A place to read comics, listen to music and watch viral videos.
The internet is a place where someone logs into a chat room as someone they are not.
The internet is a place for pranks and threats and "getting even" for being banned or denial of entry into a room.
The internet is a place where a no to a request or the turning down of an idea leads to cyber stalking and personal smears, again, to get even.
The internet is now a place of virtual vandalism, cyber terrorism and cyber bullying.
Before I go on I must take this time to thank all the GOOD Administrators, and moderators that have assisted me in the operation of the broadcast sites, message sites, and chat sites during the 5 months I have operated them. They volunteer their time and effort for nothing but my thanks and I will always appreciate them.
This then brings me to the close of the post with the one incident that has taught me the final lesson regarding Trust.
The administrators and I had a group private chat session where we discussed certain problems that had been ocuring on the board for about 2 weeks or so during the absense of a key admin.
In that session I made the remark to all that "When push comes to shove, in the end I do not trust completely ANYONE but myself." All the participants of the chat understood full well the meaning behind this statement except one.
As it turns out, that one individual proved to be the one person I could not trust as I learned later on what this individual's true motives and actions were.
So, that last lesson that I have learned is this. "I will never, ever, trust anyone on the internet again."
Now for the turning point that is approaching.
Stay tuned

First they came...
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I was not a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
"First they came…" is a poem attributed to Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) about the inactivity of German intellectuals following the Nazi rise to power and the purging of their chosen targets, group after group.
