This should be fun. Aram Roston has written an article for Playboy magazine about computer programmer Dennis Montgomery. (NPR,BernieHund)
In the article titled “The Man Who Conned the Pentagon,” Roston tells the story of how Montgomery convinced top officials in the Bush Whitehouse that Al Jazeera broadcasts contained embedded code. The code, Montgomery claimed, had information used [...]
Question: When is an AP story not an AP story?
Answer: When it appears in the Review Journal!
There was an AP notice the other day gurgling through the Internetal tubes to the affect that the arraignment of ex-eTreppid employee/consultant Dennis Montgomery vis. skipping out on gambling debts would be postponed awhile. (AP)
All well and good and hardly [...]
No doubt all readers of the Review Journal–especially the Gibber 14-percenters who make up the bulk of its readership–were titillated by news that Gibbons’ “accuser” Douglas Montgomery was picked up by the local constabulary for not paying gambling debts. (RJ) All in good fun, no doubt, except for the following bit of pro-Gøøber spin:
Looks like it's time to dust off the old Gibbons' frog-march pic, again.
The Reno-Gazette Journal has moved it's suit to force the Guv to hand over e-mails written on a government computer, using government software, using a government LAN and a government Internet connection to us, the folks who paid for all that, thank you very [...]
Huh. That's odd.
The Review Journal decided, for no apparent reason, to run an extended piece about the Dennis Montgomery, eTreppid fiasco. (RJ)
The only thing particularly noteworthy about the piece was some accusations that Montgomery's software didn't work, but loyal VGO readers knew about some of those–back in March 2007. (VGO,VGO) The RJ rehearsed some inventive [...]
Ooo. How did I miss this one from Raw Story?
Remember how the State of Nevada busted into the offices of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) over bogus accusations of voter fraud? Well, now the Nevada Secretary of State's office is claiming that the FBI and the US Attorney General's office were working [...]
So, the venerable Associated Press is passing this one around:
The five included Warren Trepp, accused by a former employee of
providing Gibbons with a lavish cruise and money for help while Gibbons
was in Congress in getting lucrative military contracts. The FBI
recently investigated the claim and recently cleared Gibbons. (AP, emphasis added)
Sigh. The only people who ever said [...]
Edra Blixseth, the bazillionaress who bought up that software from eTreppid that then-backbencher Jim Gibbons once tried to sell to the U.S. gument using the intelligence black budget while wearing a napkinhat, isn't paying her tech workers since her getaway resort at Yellowstone for uberconservative fatcats went belly up:
Meanwhile, employees of a Blixseth-owned technology company called
Blxware, [...]
I think George Knappster misspelled my moniker. Anyways, George Knapp raises doubts about whether the FBI has really called off the eTreppid-related investigation of Gibbers, or at least doubts that they would tell anyone about it if they did. He cites the rather squirrelly sourcing of the story and the fact that the FBI doesn't inform [...]
So, Gibbons has one of the best days of his disastrous reign of terror–that's counting best days for him, natch–and what does he do with it? Channel the ghost of the vindictive Richard Nixon in a paranoic tirade against all his enemies, real and imagined.
"In case you haven't noticed, there
is a pattern of false accusations against [...]
