This a warning to all of our members, readers, supporters, and to the general liberty movement.
Please be extremely careful with email, and do not open any attachments from anyone who you dont know, or from any suspicious email, such as tormail. And even if it seems to be from someone you know, take the time to read the email address carefully, to see if it is from a Tormail account, or other anonymous email service. It could be someone impersonating someone you know, to trick you into opening files with child-porn on them.
No one here at Oath Keepers uses tormail or any other anonymous email service, so if you see an email purporting to be from Oath Keepers, or from anyone in leadership at Oath Keepers, from such an email service, do not open it.
There have been a string of anonymous attacks on liberty activists, all attempting to trick people into opening email attachments containing child-porn. We know of at least four such attempts within the past few weeks.
The first was when someone emailed Luke Rudkowski, Founder of We Are Change and tried to trick him into opening attached jpeg files containing child porn. Luke was able to use the view function of his email to see that the images were child porn and he did not open them.
Then, someone using a tormail account tried to do the same thing to Dan Johnson, Founder of People Against the NDAA (PANDA). Whoever emailed Dan Johnson pretended to be me, Stewart Rhodes, but using a Tormail account. Fortunately, Dan knew that I dont use Tormail, and therefore he did not open the attachments. Instead, he had a computer security expert examine the files, and that expert determined that they contained child porn. You can read more about that attack, and watch a video we made about it, here.
Well, a few days later it happened again, to two other liberty activists we know. They have chosen, for the time being, to not go public about it, in the hopes that the FBI will have a better chance of catching the perp. All of us have reported these incidents to the FBI, through attorney Sue Basko.
Sue has written a very well done description of what happened, what we did to report it, and some important advice on how you can keep from being victimized by whoever is doing this. Here is an excerpt of that tutorial. Please take her advice to heart, and be very careful online.
Stewart Rhodes
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I dont add you to the list...
My guess is that "Luke" now has a temp file on his computer that he doesn't want there, and that he doesn't know is there. If he's lucky, it's in a temp folder, it'll get "deleted" into the Trash, he'll empty the trash, and overwrite the data sectors before the Feds decide to search his computer someday, or he sells the computer without wiping the drive and some -other- poor schmuck has it.
Bears repeatin'...
THE worst kind of slander and weapon against those who dare expose the truth. If not found, it WILL be embedded.
To all of those who insist that Edward Snowden is THE "traitor," smack yourselves in the face, smell the pot o' coffee, and reassess and redefine the word and concept of "Traitor" and remind yourselves who the Big Kahuna "Trojan Horse" is.
Also re-consider those who are tasked with creating national policies of "Security" and under whose orders they violate your 1st and 4th Amendment rights, logic and common sense.
ONE MORE REMINDER: Exactly who comprised DHS's "terrorist" list memo and profile (while Nappy was its head honcho) are you and me and the rest of FR.
Ditto.
Ditto.
And ditto.
I HATE getting porn emails, erectile dysfunction emails, and free local sluts emails from “myself.”
It looks just like my email, and even hovering over it shows my own email, but trust me.
I didn’t send it to myself or anyone else.
And anything from “my” email goes into the spam folder.
I hate it, and Yahoo will do nothing about it.
nully, you have / had a front row seat.
I did?
(If you remember the 60’s you weren’t there)...
oops ...
LOL Nully ... Yep, Review Time. I’m Innocent. Maw will vouch for me.
It's all embedded in the engrams.....or something.......
My email address has been spoofed several times. Once I even got a message from someone I didn’t know, thanking me for what was sent. I didn’t have the courage to ask what exactly that was.
LOL.
I think I read that the developer named it after the Southern writer, Eudora Weltry.
