Badpuppy turning 10 was a very wonderful feeling,” says Badpuppy president Bill Pinyon. “This is the longest I have ever been on the same job. I cannot imagine a world without Badpuppy, my partner Steve, and our entire staff. Some of them have given me as much as nine years of their lives, and most have been there more than six years. We owe a lot to them.”
Pinyon, a computer science specialist who was working as a network administrator at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral when his boss asked him to participate in a project built around a new technology called the Internet, already had been using single-line dial-up BBS software and jumped at the chance to get involved with an international network that connected people from all over the world.
"You don't suppose someone who hosted DC page websites would hack or steal the identity of one said page and falsely represent themselves as said page in order to rope a Congressman, do you?"
I think it is apparent to everyone that Foley did something pretty sick.
It is the rest of it that should concern us all and the FBI needs to look into it!
Besides, I wonder how many folks on Capitol Hill would fancy the fact that a Gay Porn King is running internet service for Congressional Staffers and the Congressional Club?
stone stairway? you must be pretty good...lol. Watch out, if the DUmmies read this thread, they will all think we are part of some Mason Conspiracy....lol!!
"Wow---You're good! See if you can guess my real name :)"
LOL...Baby Deer?
Wow Mags...going to read all of the stuff you dug up. I read the two articles on Gunzburger last week. He sounds pretty 'snarky', doesn't he? Got to cook Sunday supper for the family and will check back in later. Thanks for all of your help everybody!
“Already we can see the rumblings of legislation in Congress,” says Tim Lordan, executive director of the advisory committee to the Congressional Internet Caucus. “It’s definitely going to color the debate.” Lordan, a board member for the Internet Education Foundation, moderated the event. However, parents of Web-browsing children should not view Foley as the classic example of an Internet predator, Lordan says.
“His interactions with these teenagers were begun with notes in the hallway, walks for ice cream down the street. I mean, he attended the pages’ graduation,” he says. Yet, parental fear fueled by recent events could encourage legislators to push for more stringent Internet laws, Lordan says.
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) are among public officials who support legislation that would require data retention, which would force Internet service providers to document and store all users’ online activities. Under this policy, ISPs would be forced to keep records of a user’s every move indefinitely, from website postings to search engine queries.
“Before too long, you have a serious surveillance system operating on all of us,” says Jim Harper, who spoke on the panel. Harper is the director of information policy studies at the Cato Institute, a nonprofit libertarian research foundation. “The data obtained by the data-retention mandate will be used for all kinds of investigation. Law enforcement will switch from pursuing criminals...to pursuing people.”

Ex-NASA manager guilty in child porn case

By early 1996, just hours after the passage of the Communications Decency Act, BadPuppy had re-invented itself as a kind of "Geocities of gay cyber-porn", with over 30 individual contributors running websites as part of the badpuppy.com domain. Now, with 23 employees (Assistant to the CEO Lisa Turner jokes, "We've got half of NASA working here!") and no end in sight to the growth, BadPuppy has its own original "models" and merchandising. It's also become a sponsor of major events in Orlando (including the upcoming Gay Day activities at The Club).
OMG!! Just read through your last post! Remind me to never buy anything that Hormel makes again for as long as I live!!
This just makes my heart big and sore. Filthy Predators!! So, this Badpuppy is the same as the Badpuppy in Florida? It sounds like it.
Like I said in an earlier post, it is not hard to imagine them targeting pages on Capitol Hill. It is not hard to imagine a young college student with loads of college debt thinking that by posing for a few 'harmless' pics, he could maybe pay off said debt!
It is not hard to men just as they are trying to start their careers!!
It needs to be looked into by the FBI!!
Thanks for the info.
Good Grief...this is just going from bad to worse!! Why can't the cops or FBI shut these people down?
Who swept it under the rug?
From what we can tell so far, it was the DEMOCRATS who swept it under the rug, until they wanted to pick the rug up right before the election.
If you can not tell how this could be relevant or at the very least disturbing beyond words, then there isn't enough time in the day to spell it out for you.
Adult Industry Finally Gets A Voice in Congress
By Matt O'Conner
Friday, January 13, 2006
LOS ANGELES — The Adult Freedom Foundation has announced that General Counsel Paul Cambria has been invited to testify before a Jan. 19 U.S. Senate hearing on Internet pornography.
The invitation marks a major shift in the Senate’s attitude toward the industry. Representatives from various industry groups have repeatedly been denied the opportunity to participate in hearings on the subject.
Cambria will present oral testimony and then participate in a panel discussion before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.
In a letter to the AFF, Committee Chairman Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, asked Cambria to focus his testimony on “what appropriate controls might be placed on pornography on the Internet and whether there is a role that government might play.”
“I’m pleased that the committee is allowing me to appear on behalf of the Adult Entertainment Industry to present a balanced picture on this important issue,” Cambria said. “All too often in the past, Congress has heard only one side of issues involving the [adult] industry. I’m hoping my appearance will mark a turning point in allowing AFF expert witnesses to testify at future hearings.”
Cambria acknowledged the support of AFF founders and the efforts of AFF media consultant John Pauly in making this breakthrough possible.

This was not my question, however, anyone and everyone who knew about the actions of this predator is just as guilty as the offender himself. I don't care about party politics or political advantage. Everyone involved desrves to be canned immediately.
From what we can tell so far, it was the DEMOCRATS who swept it under the rug, until they wanted to pick the rug up right before the election.
Spare me the drama...........and the finger pointing, you know as well as I do that this predatory behavior is criminal and MUST be treated as such.
If you can not tell how this could be relevant or at the very least disturbing beyond words, then there isn't enough time in the day to spell it out for you.
if you see this only as political dirty tricks, there is no hope for you.
Now, I'm certain that you really do understand the criminal nature of foley's acts, and that everyone who knew and did nothing to protect the children is equally at fault. So I would suggest forgetting about the dirty tricks and focus on my original question:
What does all this crap have to do with the problems related to an old queen hitting on teen-aged boys and the resulting fire-storm surrounding the "sweeping-it-under-the-rug" approach to punishing the perpetrator?
If you don't see a problem with Gay Porn Kings(with questionable backgrounds involving possible pedophelia) providing internet service for Congressional Staffers and Congressional wives on Capitol Hill, then there is no hope for you.
If you don't see a problem with the dems holding on to emails and IM's that were potentially 'criminal', as you say, then there is no hope for you.
If you don't see anything wrong with the possibility that democrat and/or gay activists are 'wiretapping' people on Capitol Hill...there is no hope for you.
If you don't see anything wrong with snooping in people's emails in order to gather political dirt and/or to blackmail them with, then there is no hope for you.
No one is defending Foley here, but thanks to the dems in DC,16 is the legal 'age of consent'.....so there is not much chance of Foley being found guilty of anything criminal.
So, your premise is actually incorrect, his behavoir was not 'criminal'. Despicable yes, but not criminal.
So spare me the drama.
This all started with somebody "outing" Foley, and pointed towards Foley trolling the ranks of the House Page program for fresh young boys; and we all recognize that as demented and criminal behavior (regardless of what the "age of consent" is).
Shifting our focus away from Foley's act/s and looking at the bigger picture... it appears that there may well be a whole cottage industry of page trolling by what seems to be a repeating cast of characters.
The same guys who run a gay porn server (some in "the industry" would say it's the largest/most successful gay porn site on the web) also run a "legitimate" server which has as its customers congressional staffers and congressional spouses.
These characters who run/own both the gay porn as well as the "legitimate" server have what amount of access to personal information, personal communications, personal "preferences" of those hill staffers, spouses and politicians?
All questions that need to be asked and investigated. It may well be that Foley is just a small part in a very large operation.
What does all this crap have to do with the problems related to an old queen hitting on teen-aged boys and the resulting fire-storm surrounding the "sweeping-it-under-the-rug" approach to punishing the perpetrator?
See above.
"There are lots of folks in the web hosting business. It would be interesting to see if these guys offered special discounts in order to get the "targeted people" to sign up.
Was the service offered at discount prices??? THAT would be interesting."
What else would be interesting to know, is how much gay porn spam did they send to the 'target/s' via the 'internet'?
If they were running the internet service and the gay porn service...it would be easy to track who bought what and when.
Also would be interesting to know if any of the former pages were actually involved in 'Badpuppy'. I know that is not PC to wonder, but it is a legit question.
What is the cover-up, exactly. We don't know what Hastert and Shimkus knew and when they knew it, so how can people be outraged about a GOP "cover-up"?
It's particularly galling when the party making the big stink about what may have occurred were up to their necks in cover-ups for far more serious transgressions..
Me think he doth protest too much. Makes me wonder if we were just paid a visit by Mike Rogers?
