This little ditty is making the rounds on the anti-freeper boards:
"JimRob's "Electronic Orchard" And The Asian Sex Trade? posted by Anti-Freeper on 02/16/2005 at 14:09 .:. 251 times viewed .:. There are 53 replies. There Are rumors that Jim's old site "Electronic Orchard" was actually used to illegally sell Asian sex slaves to individuals in the United States.
I think, now that the blogosphere is kicking Rimmy's ass over the whole FR Immigration Purge fiasco, now is a good time to post any information CPers have about what "Electronic Orchard" REALLY was.
So please, if you have ANY information about what Jim was up to with Electronic Orchard, please post it here.
There are many Liberal websites and bloggers that would LOVE to have information about Electronic Orchard's history.
I looked on Google, but didn't find anything incriminating.
So if you know something please post it here.
Thanks."
ROFLMAO!!
Well, I've been in several business ventures in my life, but the sex slave trade was never one of them. I confess that I was a sailor in my youth and committed the sins of cussing, smoking, drinking, gambling and consorting with wild women, and for this I repent and beg forgiveness, but I've never traded in slavery - sex or otherwise.
And I can save anyone a lot of effort in research. I started Electronic Orchard after my consulting contract ran out with my old company, ProtoSource Corporation. E-Orchard was organized to offer programming and web site development services.
One of our first clients was a company called "Farm Tours" ( http://psnw.com/~farmtours/ ) and was referred to us by ProtoSource. He had a California farm tour company he wanted a website for. Simple enough. Then he said he and his wife also owned a resort in the Philippines (Virgin Beach Resort) and a pen pal "matching" service that he wanted web sites for. The idea was, he would be a matching service for American men who wanted to marry Filipino girls.
He maintained lists of Filipino girls wanting to marry Americans and would introduce them by mail. If the correspondence worked out, the interested men could join one of his tours to the Philippines and arrange to meet his pen pal.
The entire idea was to meet for matrimony purposes. In fact, this is the way our client met his own wife and their marriage worked out so well, he wanted to help others. The Filipinos are very proper and religious people. There was no sex slave trading involved.
At any rate, I set up the web site for the client on ProtoSource Network in 1997 and maintained it for the first year or so. He's had someone else maintain it for him ever since. I haven't been involved since '98 or so.
Thank you for all you do for this site, conservativism and our Republic!
Whew. What a relief. If it had been a website for Teddy Kennedy's driving and scuba school I'd have been worried.
How can these people have so much time on their hands?
Say Jim, I'm single, ya think you can set me up with a hot babe? I'll accept most races/ethnicities, but no leftists need apply.
Trading is better than paying.
Looks like the liberal s**t storm begins.I said a few days ago and was corrected to say, "Don't start a fight with a man who buys bandwidth by the bucketful"
And to quote the recent "Untouchables", "they hit one of our guys, we kill 10 of theirs"
Bit Fight!
End outsourcing now!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, well me too.
I don't know that I ever got around to repenting, but wisdom brought by the effects of the years and a good woman have certainly helped me reign in some of my old habits.
I would trade neither the days of my youth, nor the life I have now.
And the rest...
ROFL!
Next couple of years should be a fuuunnn time. Since they have finally recognized the net as a threat, it's time to go through what all good conservatives go through. Innuendo, smears and complete fabrications on a national scale. I think you'll be able to handle the scrutiny, but I safely can say the majority have your back here.
Blog War....they are after our Jim....Im really fringed out!
Why you naughty boy... me spank you long time!!
What a joke! Kep up the good work Jim and you have our thanks!
Asian sex slaves? Sheesh! This is kind of funny, but then again, it's not. THANK YOU JIM for FreeRepublic.com and all you do here!
Confess, you also broke the no profanity rule.
;-)
BOLO for the usual idjits and ageants-provocateurs.
Damn, that site crashed my 'puter. JimRob designed it? He must have learned something since then!
Ping
Ya been holdin' out on us Jim!
LOL
I'm wondering who asked you to change your spelling in the title of the thread. In my pedantic nit-pickiness, I had the urge to ask, but I didn't want to try and "show up" the boss.
