Counsel,

I'm Virginia Simson, and run a blog covering Wecht legal proceedings, and am not represented by US counsel, but am concerned about information which may affect your client. I do have an attorney in Canada, Rocco Galati.

TPM recently did a story on your law firm, and your views of the Wecht proceedings. The purpose of this letter is to follow-up on that TPM information, and share with you a concern about other information which may affect your client's legal interests.

A TPM commenter named JamesDD, with IP Address 70.208.84.97 ? (Cellco Partnership DBA Verizon Wireless) (and maybe another)

left a messages saying they know your client; and this leaves me with the impression that he has a special relationship with your client. However, his comments do not suggest that he has a favorable view of your client. He has also published comments that show no tracking code at all today. I know that previously, JamesDD made a similar action, "checking out" my blog, but no ISP information turned up then either.

Although they are permitted to share their opinions, my reason for contact you as Wecht counsel is to share my concern that JamesDD appears to be publicly asking some to believe he has special information; but then proceeds to act in a manner that discredits your client by leaving dubious impressions about what issues are or are not relevant to this case. Only you and the court can decide what are legal issues.

I would like to know whether you or your client have any indirect or direct contact with JamesDD; and to what extent you or your client are concerned about someone (apparently) attempting to speak on behalf of your client.

My understanding is that statements from your client should be routed through you, his legal representation; and not indirectly through others who may not have any professional relationship with you or your client.

I have several specific examples, but before I provide them, wanted to give you a chance to consult and decide whether you want to spend any more time on this.

My reason for writing is to share with you the following issues and concerns, that I am writing a story about for publication:

* Represented clients should not have to have the distraction of public information which is presented "as if" it is official, but that information has not been cleared by counsel. Do you consider this a distraction to your client or your law firm?

* JamesDD's comments, if throught to be connected with you or your law firm or your client, tend to raise doubts about your client's legal interests. Is this how you view it?

I understand your time is precious; and am interested in knowing whether you or your law firm would like to have a discussion about the following issues in which I am interested. My reason for writing is to, if possible, seek your views and reactions to the following legal issues.

* To what extent someone, not officially connected with your law firm or your client, is presenting themselves as an official "Screener" of information on the internet/TPM related to your client, despite them having no official power, authority, or arrangement to do this.

* Despite their asserted relationship with your client, they have attempted to dissuade free exchange of ideas related to ongoing litigation. Are you concerned about this?

* To what extent JamesDD is inappropriately suggesting they have a special relationship with your client, or the facts/issues related to your client's legal issues. Is this how you view the situation; or do you have no comment?

* To what extent your client's legal interests are affected by someone who, despite requests to provide back up information, has refused to conduct themselves in a civil manner; and has substantially not complied with reasonable requests that they provide coherent arguments, otherwise they stop their disruptive actions on TPM. Is this something you are concerned about, or is this something you have no comment?

* Whether you would like additional information; or would prefer, as Wecht counsel, to discuss this directly with TPM board management.

If I do not hear back from you, I will assume that any comments JamesDD makes about your client are ones that you and your client have no position; and that nobody should take seriously any assertion that JamesDD does or doesn't know your client.

I obviously know that I do not work for you or Dr. Wecht (that would at this point be impossible), I am not represented by any of you and am aware of other legal interests you may have upon which you cannot comment.

Thank you for your work and efforts in challenging abusive government prosecutions. Understandably, you are very busy with the trial, and I look forward to hearing your response.

Virginia Simson

Internet Fakes/Cointel Pro!! WATCH OUT!

I've noticed an increase since JULY. I post about it and get NO UPTAKE.

Well, here is a GERMAN version of The Truth.

He is messing with 9/11 truth that is for sure. I caught that out on email AND on Amazon.com two weeks as his speechwriter was telling 9/11 FIBS.

I try to be REAL careful NOT to post any of it on here.

	Internet-Fakes der US-Geheimdienste in Österreich, Deutschland und anderswo Verleumdungen, Einschüchterungen, provokante Posts in Blogs, Blogs selbst - die Geheimdienste sind natürlich auch in der virtuellen Welt präsent, weil sich dort kritische Menschen artikulieren und machtvolle Gegenöffentlichkeit entstanden ist, während tradtionelle Medien stagnieren. Die Antiwar Coalition for Truth schickte uns am 24.10. 2007 einen INTERNET COINTELPRO ALERT, in dem davon die Rede ist, wie US-Geheimdienste (genauer gesagt, die Cheney-Fraktion in den Geheimdiensten) Drohmails, fingierte Blog-Postings, Blogs und Videos lancieren, um Menschen zu belästigen, die sich gegen Kriege und für Aufklärung über 9/11 einsetzen. COINTELPRO ist ein Programm, in dessen Rahmen in Australien, Kanada, ÖSTERREICH, Deutschland und natürlich in den USA selbst solche Fakes gezielt eingesetzt werden, was die Organisation Actindependent.org verfolgt und aufzeigt. Die Abkürzung steht für Counter Intelligence Program, und im Web findet man als erstes einen Wikipedia-Eintrag. Act Independent schreibt: "It has come to our attention that certain scurrilous, obscene, abusive, harassing, and threatening emails, blog postings, and videos are being fabricated, circulated, sent, and posted on the internet by anonymous provocateurs who are evidently working for the pro-Cheney factions of the US intelligence community. An effort is being made in some quarters to falsely attribute these faked and counterfeit postings, emails, and videos to Webster G. Tarpley, Bruce Marshall, Captain Eric May, and to other persons sympathetic to the Philadelphia Platform and/or the Kennebunkport Warning. Any such attempted attribution is a lie. Actindependent.org and its supporters, including but not limited to the persons named, have no responsibility for these items, and repudiate and condemn them in every way. The internet items in question represent the dirty tricks, provocations, and poison pen sabotage and disruption tactics associated with a world-wide chaos and confusion campaign of cointelpro orchestrated by the Cheney faction as we approach a possible US attack on Iran, Syria and other countries. Anyone who gives credence to these counterfeit items or is responsible for spreading or publicizing them is either a conscious stooge for Cheney, or else is stupidly playing into the hands of the Cheney war faction at a most critical time. COINTELPRO gegen Subventionen der Stadt Wien für Ceiberweiber? "Hardt" postet am 11.10. (nach der Parlaments-Sondersitzung mit dem gescheiterten Misstrauensantrag) diese Mail, wo "er" behauptet, ich würde schreiben, dass Arigona Zogaj "von ausländischen Geheimdiensten festgehalten wird" - wurde sie das denn? Leichtsinnigerweise leiteten die MItarbeiterinnen der MA 57 so eine Mail (Arigona wird gefangengehalten) offenbar nicht an die Sicherheitsbehörden weiter, sie stammt vermutlich vom 8.10.2007 Aber wenn Sie hier schon seit dem 13.Oktober am spitzeln sind, dann machen Sie das doch bitte ohne die unqualifizierten Kommentare. Danke Reaktion auf Gerhard Hardt, "Infokrieger", beim infokrieg.tv-Forum Anmeldedatum: 13.10.2007, Beiträge: 1 (19.10.2007, 08:09) The goal of this crude campaign of low-grade internet fakes, forgeries, and slanders is to sow dissension, fear, conflict, and hysteria so as to prevent the emergence of a unified mass resistance to the Cheney war party and its Democratic Party backers. Actindependent.org is in the process of tracking down and analyzing a global pattern of coordinated cointelpro deployments in Australia, Canada, Austria, and Germany, in addition to the United States. Actindependent.org calls on all anti-war, impeachment, anti-globalization, 9/11 truth, civil liberties, honest vote count, labor, civil rights, ethnic minority, and other groups and persons of good will everywhere to help identify, denounce, expose, and isolate the anonymous provocateurs who are behind this campaign of falsification and harassment. Mein Verleumder "Gerhard Hardt" meldet sich ein Mal in einer Diskussion bei Liberal in Austria, schreibt Comprehensive Security (umfassende Sicherheit) klein wie in englischsprachigen Texten und verwendet "Funktionseliten", Friede als "überholtes Konzept" vs. Stabilität... Since the Kennebunkport Warning of August 26, we have seen the rogue nuclear B-52 incident of August 29-30, followed this past week by Bush’s Hitlerian threat of “world war three” in response to Putin’s warning to the US not to attack Iran. Every passing day now brings new incidents which take the world closer to the brink of a colossal tragedy which we can still mobilize to prevent. Nobody should be disoriented for one minute by these transparent internet provocations and dirty tricks. It is rather time to redouble our efforts to stop the Cheney neocon group by pressing for the immediate impeachment of Bush and Cheney, including immediate hearings on 9/11 and on the rogue nuclear B-52 incident, as recently promised by Congressman Kucinich, and as demanded by a growing movement of people’s candidates who are running for Congress on the Philadelphia Platform of impeachment, no more war, no more dictatorship, economic recovery, and 9/11 truth. Groups and persons of good will are invited to endorse and publicize the Kennebunkport Warning with its key proviso that any terrorist incident (new 9/11 and/or new Gulf of Tonkin incident) occurring anywhere in the world involving weapons of mass destruction in the weeks and months ahead must be considered the responsibility of the Cheney faction and its allies. It is time to take a clear moral and political stand against World War Three – all the more so now that Bush has personally removed any doubt that these are in fact the stakes today. "Hardts" Einschüchterungsversuch gegen den Betrieber der Seite islamkritiker.com, seine übliche üble Methode (weitere Screenshots an Ende des Textes). Islamkritiker nimmt Islamkritik unter die Lupe. Hardt verwickelt den Betreiber in eine längere Debatte, wo er mit allen möglichen Gestzen winkt, er ist selbst nur eine Mailadrssse und ein Blog. ANTIWAR COALITION FOR TRUTH – INDEPENDENT Actindependent.org 23 October 2007 Botschaften dieses anderen Amerika finden auch bei uns immer wieder Berücksichtigung, und natürlich kann das Outen der Operation Arigona auch der Cheney-Fraktion in den Geheimdiensten sehr gegen den Strich laufen, sodass ich deswegen, welch Zufall, auch anonym verleumdet und belästigt werde (ich wandte mich von Anfang an an die Sicherheitsbehörden, da ich an Geheimdienste dachte, leider zunächst vergeblich, es blieb ganz allein meine Sache und ich versuchte, Indizien zu sammeln, es gab absolut KEINE Hilfe ausser Solidarität von UserInnen und Medienleuten im Ausland). Beim Kennebunkport Warning, das ich veröffentlichte, habe ich übrigens auch von einer Art anonymem Remailer Mails bekommen, dass sich die Autoren distanzierten (ich wusste, dass dem nicht so war). Manchmal wurden Mails verschickt mit rechtextremen oder zumindest rassistischem Inhalt, bei denen der Absender Gerhard Wisnewski gefaked wurde, bei dem ich natürlich weiss, dass sowas nie von ihm stammen kann - aber nicht alle sind so gesund misstrauisch. In Sachen möglicher Angriff auf den Iran fordern führende AmerikanerInnen wie Gore Vidal, Willie Nelson, Cynthia McKinney, Cindy Sheehan und viele andere zur Befehlsverweigerung im Fall des Falles auf, siehe auch dontattackiran.org. und Petition zum Unterschreiben bei democrats.com. Hinweis auf der Webseite eines Betreibers, mit dem ich nie in Kontakt war, den "Hardt" aber, als Arbeltslosenaktivisten, als "Kleinkriminellen" bezeichnet. (Ich schütze an sich alle, die mir schreiben, durch Anonymisierung) siehe oben - vermutlich ist auch das beharrliche Schweigen von JournalistenkollegInnen kein Zufall... ("Hardt" verwendet im Titel das wienerische Wort Bassena mit falschem Artiikel, DER/DAS statt DIE Bassena, ein Blick in Wikipedia hätte genügt) und was zum Screenshot passt: "Hardt" hat nichts mit realen Personen zu tun, die namensgleich oder namensähnlich sind (wie Gerhard Hardt/BRD und Gerhard Hardt-Stremayr/Österreich). Siehe auch COINTELPRO VS CEIBERWEIBER im Blog... Ken Welch is COINTELPRO - Beispiel einer ähnlichen Phantom-Person, die kritische Menschen in den USA diffamiert, von Captain Eric May beschrieben. Brian Glick über die ersten COINTELPRO-Aktivitäten DOG4TREE ist eine COINTELPRO-Identität, die Fake-Videos zur Denunziation von Aktivisten bei Youtube ins Web stellt. Ein DOG4TREE-Video, spricht junge Menschen an, arbeitet mit dem Wiederholen und schnellen Zeigen von Botschaften, die ins Unterbewusste einsickern sollen Fight Infiltrators like "Jenny Spark" (in Portland) In Plane Site (ein 9/11-kritischer Film, der COINTELPRO-verdächtig ist) That's what I feel like - Meat Loaf "Rock'n' Roll Dreams Come True", dedicated to all those who are in the focus of COINTEL PRO, may it give you power to carry on! And of course No surrender! "Hardts" Einschüchterungsversuch gegen den Betrieber der Seite islamkritiker.com, seine übliche üble Methode, er protzt mit Beziehungen nach Bosnien und dass er dort Erkundungen einholen lassen kann... "Freunde" würde "er" sie nicht nennen, sondern "andere Strukturen" ....und "simpel" schreibt er englisch....
