It is getting better. Check this out [Truthout trying to hide stealing a fraudulent article]

[William McKinley]

I am having a back and forth with Japan Today regarding their publishing of an article which appeared in Capitol Hill Blue that has subsequently been exposed to be false.

Japan Today did not get the article from Capitol Hill Blue though. They got it from Truthout.org, a leftist propaganda outfit.

I wanted to see if Truthout.org even had the story up on their site. I went to their main page, Truthout.org and checked. Nothing. I noticed a search box up at the top. So I took a phrase from the original article, sought significant quantities and hit search.

Bingo.

Here is what the resulting page looked like:

Notice that the third result is a match for Doug Thompson's article.

But wait, there's more.

I click on it- and what do I find? It now goes to a completely different article, from the Washington Post. In other words, they had it up, and they took it down to make it look like they didn't have it.

Unfortunately for them, their search engine's cache still has it. At least for the time being. Others should replicate what I have done here for verification. I am sure they will be 'fixing' this slip up hastily.

Hey, you mean they actually went with that "donate and win a chance to vote the freeper of your choice off the island" proposal? :P

You know, when I first read your Wilkinson expose' thread last night, I immediately posed the question: Does Mr. Wilkinson know Scott Ritter?"

Just patting myself on the back for being somewhat perceptive.

[William McKinley]

lol

Good call.

[Ethyl]

I'm not quite getting all this, does this mean that Doug Thomas is a died-in-the-wool lib, wrote a lie and detracted his lie with possibly a made up character that was feeding him bogus information? Now who is the Pitt character? Sorry, I'm a little slow on all the info. Help.

That's what I meant. :-)

Pitt is a Clymer and a teacher from Boston. He writes on all the Bush-hating sites. He actually thinks of himself as a serious writer. Typically, what he writes on one of his sites is laced with profanity.

[PhiKapMom]

Your #8 -- looks like the smell is getting stronger around here!

Why would Thompson say he was in contact with Japan and they say they don't know him? This inquiring mind would like to know!

Speaking of folks like those who read Stormfront, Raimondo, and people who present themselves to the press as authorities in military affairs....

I saw this article on FR from Frontpage magazine concerning one of the individuals arrested recently in Virginia and some other states - call them the "paintball cell" for short- which included a fellow named Randall "Ismail" Royer. (Royer has claimed to have fought in the Bosnian Army, etc. He's supposedly a caucasian who took to Islam after the LA Riots, while going to school in St. Louis)

Anyway, the article included this interesting tidbit:

(snip)

I first heard of Royer in January 2002, when I was working at the Voice of America.  He had called my successor at the Forward, and, identifying himself as Randall, not Ismail, asked if he could talk to me about religion in Bosnia.  The Forward reporter passed the message on, and being the kind of free-speaking person I am, I responded.  But as soon as I e-mailed Randall Royer, what did I get back?  From an e-mail address in Bosnia, he falsely identified himself as writing for beliefnet, a religious news website.  He sent me a defamatory quote from the notorious Saddamizer and admirer of Axis seditionists, Dennis “Justin” Raimondo, proprietor of the antiwar.com website.   Royer added a false description of the Forward as “far-right,” and also referred incorrectly to my “former colleagues at the ADL,” i.e. the Anti-Defamation League, the Jewish civil rights organization.

So Royer had obviously done “opposition research” on me.  However, the Forward, when I was its Washington bureau chief, happened to be the most left-wing and pro-Arab of all American Jewish publications, and I never worked for the ADL, except as a volunteer prison lecturer on Black-Jewish relations, and as an unpaid rapporteur on the situation of Croatian and Bosnian Jews.

In his next e-mail, “Randall” came out as “Ismail” and, now fraudulently labeling the Forward as “neo-con,” and charged that my own acceptance of Islam reflected “infiltration” and “an attempt by pro-Israel groups to install a more compliant, Israel-friendly alternative Muslim leadership” in the U.S.   His comments were framed in a smarmy, polite tone, but a threat was obvious.

The role of Raimondo in this maneuver remains extremely interesting.  Raimondo has inexhaustibly assailed me because, like Royer, I have taken an Islamic name, although unlike Royer, I have never used it for deceptive purposes.  Royer employed Raimondo’s propaganda as a fig-leaf to cover his own attempt at intimidation.   On his blog, Royer dropped the mask and directly attacked me, linking to the degenerate Nazi White.  The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and others have similarly recycled Raimondo, and some have reforwarded Bill White’s Pravda depravities. 

But Royer was not satisfied to send me a nasty quote from a scurrilous nitwit, decorated with feeble gossip.  Later, he resumed his e-mail harassment of me and my organization, the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.  One of his polemics  was republished on Raimondo’s site, antiwar.com.
