here goes nothing:
I wrote this to you all last week(just didn't send it)....since then, much has come to light! My stuff has been sent to the FBI and Hastert's office from a (you'll love this).....KINKOS....lol.
However..the FBI has my real name and all relevant info, should they ever give a damn.
But this much I have ready to go tonight. Please excuse the typos, the somewhat disjointed format, etc.:
Dear Fellow Freepers,
Many of you have written and asked me to let you know what my research into the whole Foleygate has revealed and I think it is time to put it out there and let you folks decide. Whether or not it is later to be discovered as a piece of this Foley Scandal, IT IS STILL EXTREMELY DISTURBING! When several Freepers brought up blogactive.com the first day the scandal broke, I went there to see what it was all about. It disgusted me the minute the first page opened and it was obvious this man was a vicious little gay blackmailer and extortionist! After reading through the site and doing some googling around with his name, MR. MIKE ROGERS could be nothing but the prime ‘suspect’ in this whole affair. As most of you know by now, he admitted as much. So while the really good freeper’s were getting to the bottom of the immediate questions, like who were the actors, who sent the emails and instant message and who knew what and when, I was still trying to google Mike Rogers into the bottomless pit of the internet….lol. A fellow freeper( who doesn’t want to be named) sent me a link to Mike Rogers resume online and that was what really got the ball moving in a more focused direction.
Here is what I discovered:
His last known job was listed as a fundraising consultant for Marge Barton & Associates out of NY from 1/97-present. So I started there and from what I can tell, Marge Barton is deceased now, but was instrumental in starting a company called gayellowpages.com (one y, not two). Then I did a domain search on the site where I found it and here is what it turned up:

Now..pay attention to this character above and the address: Ferrell Ard and 414 High Point Drive, Cocoa, Florida 32926
I then decided to go to the website that his email indicated. Badpuppy.com Not going to link it because it is a disgusting gay porno and ‘hook up’ site. I hurriedly copied the URL and went searching domain registers with that site. That domain search turned up other intriguing clues. It is Registered as Bad Puppy Enterprises , Inc. A man by the name of William Pinyon and Ferrell Ard at 414 High Point Drive, Cocoa, Florida. I won’t waste bandwidth printing out the domain results, but you can go look them up if you are interested. I later discovered he has several gay porn sites.
Next I decided to google Ferrell Ard into the wee hours of the morning and here is where it gets intriguing. One link I found for him was on POLITICS1 website:
Politics1.com
Looking for his name on the site, I found an ad that said this:
http://www.politics1.com/websites.htm
from the site:

WTH???? Softec is 'hosting' webpages for CONGRESSIONAL STAFFERS??
So off to the Softec Systems site where I found this:

NOW, I really could not sleep, so I decided to make a pot of coffee and pull an ‘all nighter’.

HERE WE GO AGAIN……SOFTEC SYSTEMS AGAIN ABOVE
(MANY MAY KNOW ALREADY) MR. GUNZBURGER IS A PRETTY NOTORIOUS POLITICO FROM FLORIDA. His mother was made famous in the 2000 recount in Broward County. Here is his Wikipedia entry:
Ronald M. "Ron" Gunzburger (b. 1963) is a Florida attorney, communications consultant, and publisher of the Politics1.com website. Born in New England, Gunzburger grew up in South Florida. He earned his B.A. degree in Political Science from George Washington University in 1984, and then worked as a legislative assistant in two Congressional offices on Capitol Hill. He then went to Vermont Law School, where he earned the J.D. degree cum laude in 1987. Specializing in direct mail and message development, Ron Gunzburger worked as a professional campaign consultant for 20 years in over 125 campaigns ranging from municipal races through Congressional campaigns. His innovative and often humorous campaign ads have been featured on NBC's Today Show, CNN's Headline News and in numerous print articles. Selected by the US Secretary of Defense, Gunzburger spent nine days participating in DOD's prestigious JCOC program in 2001. Most recently, Gunzburger volunteered in January 2004 as a Howard Dean campaign GOTV ward captain in Concord, New Hampshire during the primary campaign. He remains active in numerous civic and progressive organizations. A trial attorney since 1988, Gunzburger has previously served as an Assistant Public Defender, an Assistant Attorney General of Florida (RICO Unit, Economic Crimes Division), and as a litigation partner in a large national law firm. Gunzburger was a candidate for Broward County Judge in 1994, losing in the run-off (45% - 149,000 votes). He was again a candidate in 2002, challenging an incumbent Circuit Court Judge in the 17th Judicial Circuit (Broward County) of Florida – in a county where no incumbent circuit judge had lost a race for re-election in over 60 years – but missed qualifying for the run-off by a 2% margin. He is currently General Counsel and Director of Administration for Broward County Property Appraiser Lori Parrish. The South Florida Business Journal honored Gunzburger and 39 others in 1998 with its prestigious "40 Under 40 Award" for achieving career excellence before age 40. [edit] Politics1.com Moving into the realm of new media, he created and launched the Politics1 web site in late 1997. While the site initially published a political newsletter (The Politics1 Report), Gunzburger converted the weekly newsletter into an online blog in late 2001. On May 6, 2006, Gunzburger announced that he intends to run for a Broward County, Florida judge, and turn the day to day operations of his website to his partner, Dana F. Buker [1]. A few days later, he announced that he decided against running for judge, even though it was likely that he would run unopposed, because of his passion for politics [2]. He has therefore resumed running his website. [edit] Family Ron Gunzburger is the son of Sue Gunzburger, who earned national attention for her prominent role in the 2000 Presidential recount as the Broward County Commission Chair who served on the Broward County Election Canvassing Board. Ron got his first political experience working on his mother's winning campaign for Hollywood, Florida, City Commissioner in 1982. In June 2006, Gunzburger went to Toronto to marry his partner of 19 years, Dana Buker [3].

INTERESTING….ISN’T IT? It can be safely assumed at this point in the dig that he and Ferrell Ard know each other in some way, since Ferrell Ard bought ad space on his website. But it is not conclusive. So let’s continue……and leave Ron Gunzburger here for the moment and head back to Mr. Ferrell Ard from 414 High Point Drive, Cocoa, Florida 32926..shall we?
Upon further reading on Ferrell Ard, I discovered that our little model businessman is a member in the BBB in Florida:

But I digress….now back to the really disturbing part:
RON GUNZBURGER
Gunzburger’s move to Hillzoo according to Law.com:

WELL WELL WELL…now we have a good reason to believe Ron and Ferrell are pretty tight! I am not sure when SOFTEC SYSTEMS, which is owned by the GAY PORN KING, got the gig over at HILLZOO. COM or whether Gunzburger was even there when he got it. But it might be a good question for the media to ask him or a grand Jury!!

This is pretty interesting too, but irrelevant(maybe):
Gunzburger marries Boyfriend

You guys can google Ole Ron and find out that he dropped out of some race in Florida under pretty intriguing circumstances….. I am sure you can find lots of other connections.
Now we know from other great bloggers work out there the connection between John Avarosis and Mike Rogers…..
And here we have Melanie Snow from CREW with John Aravoisis:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&c2coff=1&q=%22Melanie+Sloan%22+%2B+%22john++aravosis%22&btnG=Search
There is lots more…but this is enough to ask ourselves some very important questions at this point. There are certainly lots of intriguing questions here….. and it may just be nothing (according to the Florida FBI chick I talked to yesterday) In the middle of my story, she asked me what was wrong with this PORNO KING RUNNING WEB SITES FOR CONGRESSIONAL STAFFERS and why he could not have two businesses.
Enter heavy sigh and a call today to the Texas boys! I doubt they will call me back either…...we’ll see. She just took the info and pretty much tried to get rid of me the minute I brought Ron Gunzburger into the mix!! Maybe she is a democrat….lol… I honestly did not know who the man was before I began this search…..lol
Here are my questions, regardless of whether this SOFTEC SYSTEMS is involved in this particular scandal. Can they capture info on these Congressional Staffers webpages by being the internet provider, etc.? Who hired them and why? AND WHAT THE HELL IS A FLORIDA GAY PORN KING doing hosting web pages on Capitol Hill? Now I understand this is not a government site, but these Congresscritters are not allowed to have campaign type info on their dot gov sites…they have to go elsewhere. How many folks in Congress are using SOFTEC? How many CONGRESSIONAL WIVES ARE?
What the hell is going on!!
Interestingly enough..Nancy Pelosi took her blog down a while back! Here is a link to go find out who has blogs on Capitol Hill.
Here is the link: be careful…... I think it is owned by none other than RON GUNZBURGER….lol

It came up under a search for connections between ole ‘nancy and ron’…LOL (HAS A CERTAIN SWEET RING TO IT…..) Hey…..maybe these two can run for the Executive Seat at THE BIG HOUSE???????
Heading to bed…..so if this gets posted…I may not be responding to it until the morning. But tell me what you think folks….is there a there there…or have I googled myself into stupidity…..LOL
FREEPERS ROCK!!
Email links have been sent to my local TV news organizations.
The big guys don't seem to be listening, maybe the smaller guys will and investigate. Maybe there's somebody at the smaller stations who wants to be famous and will get on it.
I just checked whois for the page alumni website http://www.pagealumni.us/
Here is the info:
http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pagealumni.us%2F
Good luck!
It may be that the FBI really is looking into it now and does not want the media to scoop it quite yet. We can hope....

HEADLINE: Texas-Based Venture Capital Firm Expands with Colorado Springs, Colo., Office
BYLINE: By Chris Walsh
BODY:
A Texas venture capital firm will open a Colorado Springs office in several weeks, with plans to invest millions of dollars in high-tech startups locally and across the Front Range.
Austin-based Gefinor Ventures is close to signing a lease for space downtown and expects to open a local office in April, said Greg Carlisle, a managing director with the firm who will run the local office.
The move provides a much-needed boost to the local high-tech community, which long has suffered from a dearth of venture capital that has hampered startup activity, business leaders said. They expect a fund with an office in the Springs will look more closely at locally based companies, and could attract other investors to the area.
Carlisle declined to disclose how much money the firm has to invest, citing legal issues. It will make investments, however, ranging from $ 500,000 to $ 7 million in tech startups in Colorado and Austin.
"In my mind, it means they want to be on the ground floor here, have the first chance at funding these opportunities," said Gary Markle, chief executive officer of the Colorado Springs Technology Incubator.
Gefinor is looking at potential investments in Colorado Springs and elsewhere on the Front Range, Carlisle said.
Venture capital refers to investments made in startup companies, typically in exchange for part ownership in the firm. Startups use the money to grow, release products and become profitable.
Gefinor considered opening a permanent Colorado office in Denver, Boulder and Fort Collins, among other cities. The Colorado Springs Greater Economic Development Corp. and local business leaders ultimately convinced him to locate in the Springs.
"They were instrumental in getting us to look at Colorado Springs ... and assuring us that we'd have their support to help grow the technology industry" in the Springs, Carlisle said.
Carlisle also said the city is attractive because it has good schools, a technology incubator, an educated work force and several large high-tech companies.
Gefinor invests in "disruptive technologies," or products that can change how an industry does business.
The firm focuses on companies in software, Internet infrastructure, wireless communication technology, photonics, nanotechnology and data storage. Its current portfolio, which has more than 10 firms, includes Hillzoo.com, the official Web site for Capitol Hill, and Genesant Technologies, which develops health and fitness administration software.
Gefinor was formed in January from a merger between Inman Ventures and the venture arm of Gefinor, a banking firm based in New York. Inman was founded in Austin in 1998 by Carlisle and Adm. Bobby Inman, a businessman and angel investor."
Now Gefinor Ventures can be linked to here:
http://www.gefinorventures.com/team/brinman.html
I have linked to this page because this is the main man over there. He may or may not known anything about Softec(but you would think he did because he invested in it). He serves on several liberal foundations that get money from none other than George Soros's Open Society Institute. His bio says:
"In his prior experience, he attained the rank of four-star U.S. Navy Admiral and served as Director of Naval Intelligence, Director of the National Security Agency, and Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. After his retirement from the military, Admiral Inman became a leader in Austin's developing technology community as the Chairman and CEO of Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation (MCC), a consortium of computer software and hardware makers created in 1982...."
(snip)
"He is a Director of the Public Agenda Foundation and a member of the National Academy of Public Administration. In addition, he holds the Lyndon B. Johnson Centennial Chair in National Policy at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at The University of Texas."
The Public Agenda Foundation(liberal):
http://www.publicagenda.org/aboutpa/aboutpa_whoswho.cfm
Now the CO founder(deceased but helped Carter give away the panama canal and nukes...lol):
Cyrus Vance , Former U.S. Secretary of State
Back to Who's Who
"The American people, far from being shortsighted and easily manipulated on foreign policy issues, will — when presented with unbiased and meaningful choices — make thoughtful decisions. I think it is now up to our nation's leaders to respond in like manner." — Cyrus Vance, 1988
Along with social scientist Daniel Yankelovich, Mr. Vance founded Public Agenda in 1975 and served as chairman of the board for many years. He died in 2002 at age 84.
He was best known for his service as U.S. secretary of state from 1977 to 1980, under President Carter, where he was instrumental in negotiating the Panama Canal Treaty and the Camp David peace accord. Earlier, he served as deputy secretary of defense and secretary of the Army under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. Later, during the 1990s, Mr. Vance was personal envoy of the secretary-general of the United Nations in the Greece-Macedonia negotiations, and personal envoy to the former Yugoslavia. Mr. Vance was also appointed chairman of the International Blue Ribbon Panel on Missing Persons in the former Yugoslavia.
At Public Agenda, Mr. Vance was the guiding force for the organization's work on arms control and foreign policy during the 1980s. In particular, he was a leader in the groundbreaking project called "The Public, The Soviets and Nuclear Arms," which combined in-depth research on public attitudes on U.S.-Soviet relations with a series of town hall meetings around the country. More than 76,000 people came together in the "Public Summit '88" town hall sessions to discuss options for dealing with the Soviet Union. Public Agenda conducted the project in conjunction with the Center for Foreign Policy Development at Brown University.
In addition to serving as chairman of Public Agenda's board, Mr. Vance was a trustee emeritus at The Mayo Foundation, and chairman of the Japan Society from 1985 to 1993 and of the American Ditchley Foundation from 1981 to 1994. Mr. Vance was also former chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and of The Rockefeller Foundation, and former vice-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations."
Research Notes:
YIKES!!

My goodness, this is starting to look like the tentacles that spread out from the Mary McCarthy firing from the CIA...and we know where THAT went..
NO WHERE...has anyone even talked about that for a while???
I don't reconize any of the foundations...so they must be pretty liberal...lol. Rockefeller Foundation and Open Society Institute we KNOW are liberal.

If you read through these guys prior experience...they are all retired Intelligence officers with NSA,CIA, Etc.!!
I may have just bit off more than I can chew here!!
Wow! Thanks for the notification. I will pass it on.
You might have found the "nest" and most critters get really angry if you mess with their nest...
Be careful...
I hope the FBI is independent, if you know what I mean..
Holy Cow...I should have quit while I was ahead....lol
wow...GOOD FIND!! I must say..we work well together....lol

Here is another article(written by a lib but informative) about the guy.
Excerpt regarding OSI 'gay agenda':
Over the past five years, the Soros network has given a successful start to previously nonexistent "gay" activism in almost all of its areas of operation. The campaign for "LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender] Rights" is directed from Budapest, where Miriam Molnar's 1999 policy paper published by OSI defined the "problem" as discrimination and the low level of acceptance, visibility, and political representation of LGBT's. It was necessary either "to convince the society to accept LGBT people as equal and let the society make pressure [sic] to the politicians (through media) to change laws" or "to convince the politicians that LGBT people are equal and that they need help in convincing the rest of the society." The overall goals were to generate discussion about LGBT identity within the community, to make them visible and "create a positive image," and to establish regular forums of discussion with other groups in the region. Specific tasks included the development of websites in English with subsites in local languages, the establishment of task forces that would react to all "homophobic" media outbursts in one "Pink Book," and the organization of two-week summer schools for teachers that would "provide training about discrimination of [sic] LGBT people, disabled people, overweight people etc."
much more at link
good find...going to read it all. The Inman trail is getting more and more interesting to say the least:

He apparently spoke out against the Bush Administration wiretapping terrorists and the NYT ate it up!!
Man oh man..if his company had anything to do with wiretapping CONGRESS..I guess that is ok to the Clintonistas and the Carter Camp!!
I think we need to call William Safire(he apparently didn't much care for Dr. Strangeglove back when)

I have linked to this page because this is the main man over there. He may or may not known anything about Softec(but you would think he did because he invested in it). He serves on several liberal foundations that get money from none other than George Soros's Open Society Institute. His bio says:
"In his prior experience, he attained the rank of four-star U.S. Navy Admiral and served as Director of Naval Intelligence, Director of the National Security Agency, and Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. After his retirement from the military, Admiral Inman became a leader in Austin's developing technology community as the Chairman and CEO of Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation (MCC), a consortium of computer software and hardware makers created in 1982...."
Wonder how many people received communications from this lefty admiral and the other lefty to "join" their current groups.
No tellin..but it sure does smell, doesn't it?
