Hmmm ... different site and not on fb. What’s up with that? Is the writing style the same?
Who is Anthony G. Martin? His article again quotes UM. I see he’s out of SC, like the other random blogger I came across while searching for a BO quote UM used in one of his articles. As I mentioned, that BO quote had no source, the only other web and news hit was the random blogger out of SC.
Coincidence? I think not.
Martin’s been following the Insider reports .. one just recently posted here. There’s just so much to keep up with. Here’s his articles
http://www.examiner.com/conservative-in-national/anthony-g-martin
Makes one wonder if someone is creating “sources.”
A sample:
I had mentioned this before in one of these UM threads and someone told me there is not a lot of money to be made doing this. But I think we have been had.
Answered my own question:
http://www.examiner.com/conservative-in-national/conservative-examiner-banned-from-free-republic
How much money do these people get each time someone clicks?
I found this guy doing a random Obama search in the NEWS part of google so I wonder how much money a click do these people get?
Damn, forgot to hit post. This is the question to which I referred in my previous post.
Take a look at his picture at the link.
I am not good at judging writing styles. There are some freepers that can tell a freeper retread immediately. I envy that talent.
bingo.
So who is UM? Is he one in the same?
I suggest all FReepers go delete UM from FB friends anf they will go make up more stories in the night with no audience.
Thanks, ptbor. It seems someone could create their own multiple sources and sensational stories to generate web traffic. Follow the money ..
In regard to advancing UM’s web hits, we have been had. In the future I will refrain from publicly posting UM articles. (That goes double for AGM.)

AAh .. didn’t ever see that about him being banned
from here.
If what he says is true and all he did was link to the
site with an excerpt, I don’t know why he’d be banned,
seeing how it appears he writes on a what seems to be
a legitimate site, unless “Examiner” sites are banned.
Most mods here are fabulous, restrained and fair .. and
God love them for the unpaid job they have to do, but
.. excluding the liberal, inflammatory or vulgar post ..
he probably had the bad luck to get that rare “impulsive”
and overreactive mod, which I have noted at times, and
which seems to occur more on the night shift.
I’ve seen that the boss will listen to an appeal in such
instances, if there was an overreach.
And though blog posting is allowed here, I think we’ve run
across someone here who seems to have a ‘thing’ about
blogs ... LOL
Well, y’all have me t thinking. So I went to Anthony Martin’s webpage to see what he had to say about Ulsterman/Insider. Call me paranoid – yeah you might as well because I am – but after analyzing the article (below), I now suspect Anthony Martin of having something to do with this hoax. Possibly he and a few others putting this together? Yeah – I am paranoid but I swear it’s decaf Americano for me, no interesting ‘chaser’ in my coffee. To illustrate why I have this paranoid impression, I went through his article and wrote sentence summaries for each. If anyone has time to read through it, could you give me your opinion *looks in coffee cup* so I know whether I should start adding an interesting ‘chaser’ to my coffee? *frowns at coffee cup*
I see that Martin refers to Insider as ‘Deep Throat’. Is it possible that he or they have a romanticized view of this effort? (The writer(s) behind IN as heroic, asking for the same ‘respect’ given Deep Throat)– if it is indeed Martin behind this? The thing that doesn’t fit is that I imagine Ulsterman as a Clintonite however Ulsterman’s initial Insider reports referred to ‘Democrat’ party – like a Repub might. I am told PUMA’s also refer to DEMOCRAT party because they feel the DEMOCRATIC party has been hijacked by Obamites.
Title and my summary of Martin’s article appear below.

Are ‘deep throat’ and ‘Ulsterman’ legit? You decide
November 18th, 2010 12:25 pm ET
http://www.examiner.com/conservative-in-national/are-deep-throat-and-ulsterman-legit-you-decide
1. I never said that Ulsterman was legit – I always offered disclaimers
2. In all but two of the reports, I said the info U and IN offered may or may not be true and the pair themselves may or may not be real. (FREEPERNOTE: Defensive? Preparing to defend his own credibility later?)
3. Here is how you should decide on the veracity of the information U and IN offered and the legitimacy of the two: use a best case scenario and a worst case scenario (FREEPERNOTE: this is not a means of deciding veracity – it is a means of judging the guilt of the person(s) behind the fraud – or more precisely, the fallout of the hoax) (FREEPERNOTE: Notice that Ulsterman also tells the reader how to judge IN’s credibility: what he says comes true, therefore he should be trusted)
4. Title: Worst Case Scenario
5. What if U and IN have engaged in fraud to play a joke or to gain readers for News flavor?
6. In either of these two cases, News Flavor’s credibility is damaged.
7. If it’s a hoax, Ulsterman and News Flavor lose all credibility (FREEPERNOTE: Wonder if News Flavor is ‘done’ hosting U’s IN reports?)
8. If it is a hoax or blogpimping (FR lexicon, not in original), it still doesn’t address the ‘nature’ of the information said to be exchanged between supposedly fictional characters U and IN (FREEPERNOTE: He’s saying Dan Rather’s ‘fake but accurate’ defense)
9. IN predicted mass Exodus of Obama inner circle
10. It’s unprecedented for a president’s inner circle to exit in the second year of office
11. All but two of Obama’s inner circle fled, (Jarret and Gibbs – Gibbs is rumored to be next)
12. IN predicted scandals and two of them are already in the wind.
13. Those two scandals have been reported by sources outside News Flavor
14. So IN’s information has been corroborated even if it turns out that the means of delivery (U and IN) turn out to be fictional for some reason (FREEPERNOTE: Rathergate defense)
15. Title: Best Case Scenario
16. Ulsterman has credibility because he wasn’t invented for this series of reports, he was writing for News Flavor on world events, politics long before he began reporting IN conversations. (FREEPERNOTE: I don’t see this as favoring his ‘credibility’ – I don’t know that a lot of people are focusing on whether Ulsterman is ‘real’ or has written on other topics.)
17. Political observers have carefully scrutinized IN’s writing and have narrowed it down to 2 persons (“….both of whom are top Democratic operatives with considerable experience and who are appalled by the direction in which the Obama team is leading the country.” FREEPERNOTE: That quote reads like something U wrote in some of his leaks)
18. Are the political observers correct in their attempts at identifying U? Is the Best Case Scenario Correct?
(FREEPERNOTE: The reader has no basis to evaluate the first rhetorical question – it seems calculated to get the reader to ‘buy in’ or take the next logic leap to say to themselves ‘well, he has a point’.)
(FREEPERNOTE: His best case scenario, which includes the assertion that Ulsterman has credibility because he has written for News Flavor before, does not appeal to me. His other best case scenario assertion that IN exists because some ‘political observers’ think he does doesn’t grab me either)
19. “Based on the facts presented above, you be the judge.” (FREEPERNOTE: He feels he has presented substantive facts – I don’t. He has rationalized his way through a defense though, IMHO)
FREEPERNOTE: Really, the most likely candidates for this effort are Clintonites. I always wondered how they Hillary could ever replace Obama without losing the black vote - this may be the tactic. And yet, I find that Martin ‘doth protest too much.’
You’re not paranoid. We are just not stupid is all.It is the Clinton’s operatives and people at hillbuzz. It is beyond me why anyone believes hillbuzz.
I also have noticed whoever it is; reads here. So hey Ulster Man, hillbuzz whoever....the Clinton’s are just as corrupt as Obama cut from the same cloth. Obama is dangerous for this country but little insider stories don’t make the Clinton’s look good.. it makes them as treasonous.
Hillbuzz needs a huge barf alert if they think we believe they would vote for Palin over Obama and Palin is like Hillary.
I had thought the same thing about him being a dem, now he’s praising Rush on his fb page lol.
It’s amusing to me that you people accuse him of being a Democrat now that you see that he’s tricked you. This has nothing to do with politics. This is a guy trying to make a living in the easiest way possible.
I’m happy to see that most of you have finally figured out that Ulsterman is a liar, but it saddens me to see that you have not learned your lesson. To meander into other conspiracy theories (it’s Clinton operatives!) is disheartening.
Ulsterman is a liar who wants to make money. There is no white house insider. Lots of powerful people have millions of dollars at stake in politics, and there’s nothing they love more than seeing people wrapped up in partisan bickering. You’re all so suspicious of Democrats that you’re willing to let conservatives take advantage of you. I hope you can avoid being played. I really do.
So who are you? You think people shouldn’t be suspicious of Dems?
He’s a blowhard troll who won’t be around tomorrow.
What’s he doing, saying “nyah nyah nyah nyah nyaaaah nyah”?
If he knows for sure Ulsterman is fake, does that mean he’s Ulsterman? Or if he knew a long time ago, why didn’t he say something.
Oh well, it’s late, good night!
