70. BK is only a lefty to fit in with his brand model, period. The excerpt provided just above by Sarahw explains that.63. I think it more interesting that the hard left has anything to do with him. What he’s selling sells in that quarter.. Bk is in the game for Bk.His passion is for making money.
On pg 54 of citizen K, google provides a snippet:…he could get you to operate under a pretense of camaraderie! Then he would use that. he proffered to play on your greed And your insecurity about your meal ticket? He talked about going straight, but he had no interest in that. He had an interest in being a robber baron. Selling pot was love and peace to the rest of us, but to Brett it was fig-[ures?]…Comment by Sarahw
Dustin, basically I was able to dig into the hoaxing (not rocket science) while uncovering connections, e.g. to the heir of the Oliver Grace Estate, philanthropist Lori Grace. Myself and then TLNL had common sense questions with the latter summing up this story in one word. Kerching!
There was a woman at the Sept. hearing. Probably around 30. I googled for a picture of the Darrah Ford lady but couldn’t find one.
If Occupy Rebellion is indeed a female, my hunch is she’s that woman. The one with Brett at Aaron’s thingie was probably his mom or his philanthropist aunt Harriet Crosby, imho.
As for Ronald Brynaert, I can’t think of any other explanation than he is working for the bad guys. His recent pro-Kimberlin Wikipedia submission couldn’t have been written better than by Larisa Alexandrovna herself.
There are historical tangents to this story, but most don’t know anything about them. I’m talking about convolution from the past. I was able to make some startling connections. Here’s one. A VR affiliate is called Progressive Independent. Their founder Tinoire is a self-proclaimed hard lefty, but she also admitted to having been in military intelligence. Uhm, lefties don’t tend to be in the military. She made a blunder admitting that on a Ronald Reagan forum. It was similar to Markos Moulitsas admitting he had come inches away from joining the CIA full-time for clandestine operations.
Those were self-inflicted wounds. Same as BK’s past being ignored by Brad Friedman. He figured I was one person who could be spun as a multi-personality supertroll. While Larisa could do clean-up at DKos and Democratic Underground.
Sure I was persistent, but all I really had was my blog. I tried to get it done at the Political Flesh Feast-Daily Kos off-shoot (FSZ) but got trolled on very badly. The same thing happened to Dave Weintraub when he was giving Daily Kos its final beatdown for credibility. You righties have to understand that the few of us have had nowhere to go for the most part other than solo. Same thing happened to Francis Holland. This BK-BradBlog story only finally started to gain serious zeitgeist traction once the cavalry arrived in the form of Mandy, Patrick, and Dustin. (see the enemy of my enemy is my friend p:>) I also started to pile on with more entries during that October-November time frame (unfortunately deleted due to the default).
One of Tinoire’s best buddies is Mike Rivero of What Really Happened dot com. That dude has been so anti-semitic that even Alex Jones had to give him the heave-ho. Most of you on this blog who have been around for years know who he is. He used to post at Free Republic. I think he got the boot for being a crackpot.
Rivero is well-known for Jooo hate. As a right winger, it was surprising that he and the “lefty” Tinoire were so close. One bit later found showed that Mike Rivero had worked for McDonnell Douglas. For someone supposedly against the “New World Order,” it’s amazing he used to work for the #1 arms manufacturer at the time.
Hmmm, another find of mine was of a now non-existent, except for at my blog, screen capture from VR’s affiliate The Lonestar Iconoclast. At the bottom of the page was a frontpage blurb previewing an article within written by Eric May, another right woos left, anti-Jooo conspiracy theorist. I could go on. Better yet, anyone interested should read my blog posts titled Incestuous Relations parts one and two at DFQ2.
There’s so much more too. Wayne Madsen, another crackpot and apparently ex-NSA, is also friendly with Tinoire. And let’s not forget the close ties between the BradBlog-Raw Story milieu to ex-CIA Larry Johnson and hack reporter Jason Leopold.
I can’t win for saying it, but I feel justified in wondering if there has been some kind of modern day cointelpro in place on the internet. Now I am trying to keep it simple. Crazy hoaxes led to major donations and grants.

71. Can we get a link to the Lonestar Iconoclast being a VR affiliate?
Anyone else remember that publication? If memory serves, it was a place where Ellie Light astroturf was published.
Comment by Patterico
Hi Patrick,Strangely enough, Mike Rivero can be tied directly to a former Department of Justice employee.
Here's something I rewrote from one of the 21 deleted entries.
Incestuous Relationships Part 1
The first half of that is mostly a rehash of the LA Steel-Raw Story-Larisa-Speedway Bomber, etc. stuff. Right after you get to the Karl Rove-Kimberlin photo from BradBlog, it gets briefly into The Lonestar Iconoclast. Then a bit further down is a section titled, The Lonestar Iconoclast Connection. I'm definitely feeling an itch to socratise it again and check out this Ellie Light you speak of.
In part 2, the connection is touched on again including info on Raw Story's Stephen Webster having worked for The Lonestar Iconoclast.
I never looked into it too much, but I wouldn't be surprised if The Iconoclast was a conspiracy theory tabloid.
I do know the links found proving they are a close VR affiliate were scrubbed.
If interested, folks can easily get to part two through the sidebar.
This is the kind of stuff I enjoyed most as a blogger, the so-called cybersleuthing.
And whenever someone trolled me, it pushed me to dig further. So thank-you Brad, Larisa, Mike Rivero trolls, Tinoire, et al for egging me on. Haha, myself and The_Last_Name_Left also had fun going after anti-semite David Dees (the animator highlighted by goofball Jeff Rense), fake lefty and Kossack Al Giordano of Narco News, and Agent 99 (the anti-semitic moderator for Brad Friedman).
There's something called right woos left. That was a phrase coined by I believe Chip Berlet. His schtick focused on mostly the 9/11 Joos did it nonsense. I think right woos left can be applied to a lot of things.
If folks research American conspiracy theory, they'll run across the John Birch Society, Lyndon Larouche, and other tools. I think a lot of the convolution on the net is an extension of that. I will admit that a guilty pleasure of mine was to listen to a good Alex Jones rant.
This is the kind of stuff I got into as a blogger, what I wanted to most understand. The convolution.
There's an endless supply of it. I noticed it had infiltrated the left-o-sphere. You know what I'm talking about. I think the first time I read your blog was way back when, probably to do with Jason Leopold. Or I was googling Larisa. Kinda forget. One of them. Or Larry Johnson.
Sorry for rambling and going off-topic or bringing up things too difficult for newbies and fence-sitters to fit into the big picture. Hopefully people can see how this stuff transcends right-left political discussion except for on the shallow surface.
Imho, both left and right have had their fair share of fruitcakes co-opting their ideologies through the dispersal of internet convolution. And I simply feel, as does freelancer Joe Lauria, that the MSM is simply not into covering it. They only covered it briefly with Weiner cause he was a Congressman.

Why might that matter? Because it's possible Team Numbnuts is working for them. @FilmLadd has a hunch that both Twittergate and Weinergate could be directly tied to the White House. I found that ludicrous and told him to get real. I don't see how crazy hoaxes portraying leftists as sadistic towards righties could possibly help Obama. But it got me thinking especially after googling and reflecting after posting the above at Patterico's.
Hal Turner was working modern day cointelpro for the FBI in an attempt to "flush out the crazies." Could Rauhauser have been attempting the same but substitute Tea Party and Breitbart followers for neonazis?
I'm not going to reinvent the wheel for this. It is conspiracy fact that the spy factory is all over the internet. I've blogged on this before. They've admitted to it. Do your own homework if you don't believe me.
Ron Brynaert is a Team Numbnut Tool
Ye might want to check out Brynaert's Kimberlin submission to Wikipedia before it probably shifts into some kind of edit war. Here are my recent tweets which explain what he did.
Ron Brynaert has submitted a pro-BK entry to Wikipedia. Mentions Kimberlin denial with no reference to overwhelming evidence....And Ron continues to be sadistic towards me. He or one of his Team Numbnut associates blew up a photo of my driver's license and is calling me Cookie Puss. It wasn't my best picture. My hair was tied in a pony tail, and I had rolled out of bed or something. That's why I put up the one picture I have on my twitter account. There people can see kinda sorta what I really look like. Anyway, if Ron wants to be such a sadistic creep in public, so be it. Same goes for the Mike who got swatted and cybersmeared. Though the latter I can forgive. He was put through the wash cycle. He was battered down by Team Numbnuts. So it makes sense he's now unhinged and getting manipulated. He's missing the big picture. Though I do wish him the best of luck getting Rauhauser thrown in prison where he belongs. Ron is being sadistic on purpose while also acting crazy on purpose which is obviously much worse than what Mike has been up to. It's part of Ron's job description, imho.
No mention of Julia Scyphers but inserts hypnosis angle.
Ron gives a positive review of Brad Friedman. Cherry picks Wizard of Odd article. No mention of election integrity hoaxes.
Tweeted: "I didn't include any references to any "double secret" exoneration since there isn't any proof." Ron's crafty with disinfo.
"back-and-forth online battles have transpired between progressives backing Kimberlin and bloggers on the right." That's 100% astroturf.
Only "progressives" backing Kimberlin appear to be hacks such as Neal Rauhauser and the awol Larisa Alexandrovna.
I just made some tweets on Brynaert's pro-Kimberlin Wiki astroturf. @Dust92 @Patterico @Liberty_Chick @AaronWorthing @FilmLadd @NoodleSpoon
@NoodleSpoon Fricken loser knows there is proof from BK's Nov. 14th testimony not to mention Alexandrovna's heresay.
@NoodleSpoon Yikes- meant hearsay. Not sure if heresay is a word.
Ron was also effective in driving a wedge between myself and donkeytale. He definitely understands the art of social engineering. Hmmm, as in psychological operations? It wouldn't surprise me. Google Hal Turner. Do your own own homework. I am not a supertroll or troll and am a true lefty. I have a Master's Degree in Social Theory. My department taught us critical theory (see School, Frankfurt). Team Numbnuts has been desperate to spin me as a lunatic stalker who made a death threat. That never happened. And now anyone can google Speedy's name and see that the whole truth is crashing down on con artist Brad Friedman and his sadistic associates (see Effect, Streisand).
So anyway, Rona Bryntart's finally found out donkeytale is not as easy a patsy to control as the porn dude. Here you go.
Super Troll claims he reported "cyber crimes committed against" him... Calling Socrates "Super Troll" is apparently a "cyber crime" if you're dumb enough to believe that...but it's perfectly okay for him to call others "Super Troll" and accuse them of ridiculous crimes...Donkeytale finally showed some common sense.
Aaron Worthing left a comment on my thread at FDL directing my attention here:That must have freaked out Ron, cause he came back with the same kind of Rauhauserish request he made to myself many months ago.
(links to Aaron's blog)
I know that you have had some interest and commentary around this alleged event of assault on the victimised BK.
According to Socrates you claimed the event happened before you had proof.Aaron Worthing May 17th, 2012 at 4:22 pm
DonkeyTale,
This is really off topic, but I remember when you covered the "Troll Wars" between myself and Brett Kimberlin.
Well, there have been some very significant developments in that story. Start here and follow the links. There are two versions of the post. The first is one massive post, and the other is 8 little posts. I created the little posts because people were complaining that their computers couldn't handle that much strain on the memory.
The short version. Brett Kimberlin tried to frame me for a crime.
If you email me...Donkeytale will never admit it, but in his own way he was admitting I had been right about Brynaert the whole time, and he had been wrong.
I will respond by email...but not publicly...provided you don't reveal my answer on this blog.
I'm not blogging or tweeting anymore about that crew because I will be reporting a related extortion threat to the NYPD very shortly. But I've spent 9 years reporting on the Netroots and fake news, and I'm not going to stop doing that for anything.
I often wonder what your true agenda is since you treat certain new friends of Socrates as if they are honest or sincere. You seem to get a similar kick when they link to you, just like Socrates.
The only reason I'm discussing Socrates is that he's too far out to even mention to the NYPD and I don't think he's part of THAT crew.
I still suspect what I have always suspected about Socrates..that he trolls Markos and BradBlog enemies pretending to be "leftier than thou" so that he can smear them. And I still believe it's mighty convenient that Andrew Breitbart was cc'd on a quasi death threat about BK. I believe that was probably done on purpose - that Soc knew the law about second hand threats - so that BK could attempt to use discovery to go after Breitbart and O'Keefe.
For the Pffugeecamp record, My FDL reply to Worthing:Ron knew it was time to bail out after another loss.I read through much of it last night. Very interesting. I'm sorry to hear that you were forced to quit your job.
Very excellent writing. You should get a book deal out of this saga. The right of anonymous free speech issues and the abuse of the court system by rogue internet clowns seem like a worthy topic.
Maybe if you offer BK a contract he'll cooperate...like he did with Singer.
I had hoped Soc would develop the book idea, but he can't seem to distance himself enough narratively speaking.
He will make an excellent Sancho Panza, however....
Enough saidBy the way, I read that above by Brynaert about five times, the thing about Kos and BradBlog enemies and to be blunt, it makes no sense. That's what I'm talking about with Ron faking craziness. He thinks he's being clever by throwing in a lot of noise. He bailed out quick once he realised donkeytale was finally onto his disinfo schtick.
See ya!
Donkeytale might be a sadistic turdmeister for stretches here and there, but when push comes to shove, he ain't no sucker for pea brained disinfo fockers like Ron Brynaert. And I don't care if he or anyone else thinks I have a big ego and repeat myself and whatnot. I scooped this story. Team Numbnuts and the Montgomery Maryland Circuit Court can kiss my ass. All of you are the lowest of the low. You hear that, Triple Fock Face aka ambulance chaser aka Ricky Boy Judge? You dumbass.
