Apparent Felon Seems to be Targeting Jeremy Reynalds and Joy Junction
Contact: Jeremy Reynalds, Joyjunction.com
(Alb., NM. July 23) Long- time Albuquerque resident Jeremy Reynalds is best known for his work with Joy Junction, the shelter for homeless families he founded in 1986 and continues to direct. However, there's another side of Reynalds that is not quite as well known -- as a terrorist hunter.
For the last three years Reynalds has investigating a number of Islamic terrorist web sites, many of which are hosted by American Internet Service Providers.
It seems that this work has now made him the victim of some unwelcome harassment.
For weeks, Reynalds has been receiving harassing e-mails from what at first appeared to be a number of different individuals. The names included Don Mercadante, an unnamed individual operating with the e-mail address
headsurfer@shinyfeet.com and another person who claimed to be screenwriter Michael Ferris. One of the e-mail addresses used by "Ferris" was
specialprosecutor@gmail.com. "Ferris" has even contacted local media and a U.S. Senator complaining about Reynalds.
While Ferris' e-mails were at first just annoying, they then became illegal. Writing to a colleague of Reynalds, "Ferris" wrote, "Mr. Galt, utilizing your skills as a phony pro-terrorism web master...would it be possible for you to set up a phony web site, then make a terrorist threat against Jeremy Reynalds, (your known associate)? Do you possess the technical skills in order to HACK INTO AND OBLITERATE A WEB SITE?"
Then in the same e-mail in an apparent change of heart, "Ferris" continued to Galt, " You are a (sic) formatable opponent, so I have retained... IAN MURPHY and his company IAM Secure Data Systems, INC. When this investigation is completed, I expect to see you and your (sic) co-conspiritor Jeremy Reynalds indited on FRAUD CHARGES!"
There's just one problem with all this bluster. Ian Murphy, who Reynalds said he suspects is also Mercadante and "Ferris," is a notorious liar and con man.
As one web site puts it (
http://attrition.org/errata/charlatan/murphy):
"Ian A. Murphy is nothing more than a middle aged convicted felon, con artist and petty thief with a long history of running scams. He has virtually no technical skills (which should be obvious), no formal education, no computer training, and no security training. He knows just enough computer lingo and jargon to baffle his audience (provided they lack a technical background). He claims to have been employed by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) as a member of a covert assassination team, and also claims to have been a Navy SEAL. Subject claims to have been taught information warfare by the National Security Agency (NSA). His tradecraft is very poor, and the official records indicate that his claims are totally false. Official government documents indicate that he was never an employee, nor a contractor. It should be mentioned that the subject has been committed to psychiatric facilities several times for 'being delusional.'"
Murphy is also potentially dangerous. The same web site says that he also, "attempted a publicity stunt with the Boston Globe which back fired on him ... and when that failed he went on a stalking campaign against his landlord and actually tried to burn down her house (in Plymouth, MA). When he found out the Police Department in Plymouth, MA and the District Attorney wanted to talk to him about the arson attempt he committed himself to a psychiatric hospital."
As if that's not enough, he has reportedly been arrested numerous time for assault and domestic violence.
Reynalds said, "Even if Murphy isn't using these other names, the fact that his name is mentioned in these e-mails is enough. I just felt it was time to bring this harassment to the attention of the general public."

KEYWORDS: cyberstalker
Over the past few years I have been called many things -- but this is the first time anyone has ever said I was a "formatable opponent".
I've also been getting threatening emails from "Don Mercdante" / "Michael Ferris". Yahoo emails are easy to trace: donmercadante@yahoo.com traces to an Albuquerque ISP. Emails from "Don Mercdante" to other people have traced to the Albuquerque Hilton Hotel. So he's probably now located in New Mexico. (Not a good sign for Jeremy, if the stalker is in his home city).
We're all wondering who is funding "Don Mercdante" / "Michael Ferris" to move to Albuquerque, New Mexico and set up a harrasment campaign against Jeremy Reynalds. It can't be cheap to setup shop in the Albuquerque Hilton.
Google = = Evil:
Google emails from specialprosecutor@gmail.com cannot be traced. Google Gmail deliberately hides the origin of the email. SPAMCOP takes issue with this practice and has issued multiple blocks on email originating from Gmail over the past few months. I've started a discussion about the problem here: http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=4550 Here's one of the emails if you're interested.
I sent an email to abuse@google.com and got an auto-responder message back in one second. The Google autoresponder explained to me that the offending message couldn't have come from Google because "Google does not allow SPAMMERs to use their services". The Google autoresponder didn't even mention the special case of psychotic stalkers using their services.

Sane money would bet that one of George $oreA$$'s phoney non profits are funding this creep.
Be careful and stay safe!

"I'll bet its CAIR."
If we ever do real audits on CAIR re its funding, every other rock when it is turned will have the Soros signature on it.

Muslim/Terror Charities Support
CAIR and Muslim Organizations in the US support Kerry for president
Democrat becoming the part of Muslims
54% Muslims Voting for Kerry, 26% Nader, 3% Bush
Poll: Muslim Americans support Kerry and Nader, oppose Bush
Muslims support for Kerry and Democrats overwhelming
Muslims For Democrats
The Tides Foundation, a charity established in 1976 by antiwar leftist activist Drummond Pike, distributes millions of dollars in grants every year to political organizations advocating far-Left causes.
Teresa Heinz Kerry has financed the secretive Tides Foundation. donated funds went to rabid antiwar demonstrators, anti-trade demonstrators, domestic Islamist organizations, pro-terrorists legal groups, and open borders advocates.
Tides has also given grant money to the Council for American Islamic Relations. Ostensibly a Muslim civil rights group, CAIR is in fact one of the leading anti-anti-terrorism organizations within the Wahhabi Lobby, with links to Hamas. CAIR regularly opposes and demonizes American efforts to fight terrorism, claiming, for instance, that Homeland Security measures are responsible for an undocumented surge in hate crimes.
Tides also create a defensse fund for Lynne Stewart who openly aids and supports terrorism, calling them 'freedom fighters'
CAIR Three top members of CAIR were convicted of terrorism...most notably, Ismail Royer - formerly their Dir. of Communications.
CAIR, who supports Hamas and Islamic Jihad, who teaches suicide bombing to children and in turn supports AlQeada, who condones beheading innocent civilians
One never needs to search very far to find connections between a leftist foundation and extreme advocacy groups. Teresa Heinz Kerry, George Soros, Bill Moyers and the Ford Foundation fund the Tides Foundation/Center; Tides funds the National Lawyers Guild, CAIR, MoveOn.org and United for Peace and Justice; those organizations then unite in fluid coalitions to protest against their common political enemies (Republicans).
Haim Saban: The country's largest contributor to any party or candidate, including $3,000,000 to the DNC and $7,000,000 for its building fund. Mr. Saban, founder of the Power Rangers, supported Kerry during his Senate campaigns. He and other Sabans with the same address gave to both Clintons, Gore, Kennedy, Daschle, Dancer, Prancer and every other clown in the Senate. He could give some background on his Saban Center for Middle East Policy of the Brookings Institution. Why so many Center speakers from and events on Palestine? Why the "Iraq is going poorly" view of his Center? And how come Saban scholars are publishing in Salon.com?
Al Gore's history of denial of the threat of terrorism is no less dangerous today in his role as John Kerry's surrogate than it was in the 1990s in his role as Vice President, a time when Osama Bin Laden was declaring war on the United States five different times
