In my last ditch effort to save people from themselves--don't know why I bother--
be very careful if you go. 
It's a lovely idea--it really is--but too many dodgy names are involved.

The presenters page is already troublesome:
We do not need this person connected to 911 truth:
http://www.madison.com/wsj/topstories/305149In real activist movements, such people are drummed out in disgrace. Even the Republican party understands this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_CraigThis is aside from Mr. Barrett's connection to internet stalkers like Ozzybinoswald and Killtown through his friendship with Jim Fetzer.
Then there's the place this shindig is being held--under the eye of Rev Morales:
Who, in the summer of 2007, gave shelter to two people fleeing a cult--who then supposedly committed suicide while on his property. And if that wasn't dodgy enough, Morales' wife was somehow allowed to cover the story at Vanity fair:
http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2008/01/suicides200801No conflict of interest here. No siree. FYI--
most churches can go for decades--or their entire existence--without questionable deaths on their property. St. Marks is also infamous for hosting Mr. Haupt's psychotic rants in the past.
And then we have the new "Killtown" as a "presenter":
Mr. Ranke earns this title by, not only using Killtown's lame "they attacked me first" excuses, but for dedicating a whole thread at his CIT forum to his "enemies" and encouraging others to help "expose" them. This is actually part of the definition of cyberstalking:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberstalking
Encouraging others to harass the victim. Many cyberstalkers try to involve third parties in the harassment. They may claim the victim has harmed the stalker or his/her family in some way, or may post the victim's name and telephone number in order to encourage others to join the pursuit.
Recently, thanks to the work of CIT watch, an attempt to whitewash the exact circumstances was caught:
http://citwatch.blogspot.com/2009/08/cit-whitewashes-enemies-list.htmlHowever the evidence lives on:
Also, I've been informed CIT has been posting information supposedly about me that almost certainly proves CIT is working with Killtown(or his mates). The first time these things were published was a couple months ago by Ozzybinowald and Killtown at Pumpitout--in a subforum they have both been restricted to called "The Drama Club".
http://s1.zetaboards.com/pumpitout/forum/457043/The only way to read this section is to register and log in. Therefore for Ranke and Aldo, to be repeating the information, they must be in communication with Ozzytwat or "katherine". Because neither Ranke or Aldo are members of Pumpitout. As a rule, anyone repeating
what was first published by Killtown and company, are working with Killtown and company. And we all know how accurate they are--they're the same people who insisted Mark Humphrey was the Harley Guy....
http://coljennysparks.blogspot.com/2009/05/mark-humphrey-is-not-harley-guy.htmlThis will not be Ranke's first visit to NY for 911truth.
http://www.ny911truth.org/media/CU_slideshow/myalbum/Ranke was on the Presenter's page until recently
But he is still part of the conference(red dots indicate questionable participants):
As is Sander Hicks, (bit about Hicks here
http://911truthburnout.blogspot.com/2009/06/real-change-and-transparency-conference.html)
who will not only be speaking, but is apparently the contact person for memberships:
I'm sure you can trust him with your money-- and other personal and financial information.
Okay--reality check--in real activists movements one of these problems--domestic abuse, connections with cyber stalkers, deaths under dubious circumstances, needing to be forcibly evicted from coffee houses--would be a cause for concern. But to have a conference with people representing all of them? As
presenters--not just participants? WTF?
It's too bad because I know there are some good people going, who I must assume simply do not know the history behind these folks. Alternately, they are either sheltered or told some fairy stories that minimize the actual events. People are trusting--it's our nature as social animals.
But in the interest of personal safety, people need to fight the urge by looking critically at things that don't add up. The Kennebunkport Hoax taught us this. So, if you go, play safe. And for the love of all that is holy, if you can,
pay cash at the door, or in advance with money order.More information at:
