Kenton Clark, Fictional 'Attorney'

WWW-At this writing, Ms. Palfrey, myself, and her civil attorney are still receiving return error e-mails every single time we correspond and send to each other. In the beginning (there was God), virtually everyone I would send to would return this way, but it narrowed to just Ms. Palfrey and Montogmery Blair Sibley.

This is extremely telling, because with the narrowing, one gets the possible indication that parameters were being set--initially, all of my e-mail, then just between the aforementioned. It wouldn't surprise me if it was some 'vigilante' action by some goober with people-clothing and some tech know-how (and a stunted, reactionary personality).

There are--of course--other possibilities, such as that what we're experiencing is a very desperate prosecution team abusing antiterror laws at the Justice Department. Remember that last week, federal district Judge Victor Marrero ruled against NSLs to internet and telecommunications providers with broad discretion, including gag orders to the recipients of the NSLs (like say, Google or Verizon, and even AT&T or Yahoo). At present, there are a little over 80-days left for the government to appeal Judge Marrero's decision. In the mean time, they can still keep ISPs under the gag, and continue their fun-and-games, even with boss Alberto leaving today.

Again, it could just be some aspiring Tim McVeigh(s) out there, reactionary vigilante-types who think that some dumb games with someone's e-mail is going to intimidate. What's interesting is the intended-effect on the new round of hacker foreplay: not obstructing our First amendment guarantee of free and open communication with each other, but to temporarily create the impression that we're receiving send errors and that the messages aren't reaching Ms. Palfrey, Mr. Sibley, or myself.

This would suggest that fear of being caught violating our ability to correspond--since it's illegal and protected speech--is in the puny fore brain(s) of whomever is expediting the action(s). It's not paranoia, it's happening, see the post below for a sample of the error mails, they're all the same.

Who is it? We don't know yet, but we're looking into it. Luckily, the individuals doing this aren't very bright, they've made a few mistakes that give away parts of their identities: we know for a fact that whomever is doing it is American. Why? In every e-mail return message, the same phony lawyer's name occurs--Kenton Clark, which is found most often in '419' spams, usually from Nigeria. So? Ms. Palfrey found the significance this time: the error messages all contain this address, 'attorneykentonclark_office@yahoo.co.uk' (it's dead). In the UK, a lawyer is commonly referred to as a 'barrister,' not an attorney.

And today, Ms. Palfrey and I received some e-mails from an anonymous individual via http://www.hush.com/. [Ed., 08.28.2008--This turned-out to be a friendly contact!] Curiouser and curiouser. Sam Eardth: kiss my ass.

YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK: HACKING OF E-MAIL COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN 'DC MADAM' AND J-7 (AND OTHERS) OCCURRING

WWW-While I'm not remotely intimidated (and unimpressed), I find this very galling and possibly due to desperation. This is happening at a time in the pretrial proceedings of Ms. Jeane Palfrey, a period that's crucial for due process to occur--she's claiming discovery through 'the Classified Information Procedures Act,' and that there is possibly a national security aspect to her trial and what began her legal predicament. I'd say that that's a forgone conclusion. Here's the text of the delivery error mails, they're all the same:

J-7 isn't the only one affected by this. A number of individuals--even outside of the United States--have been attempting to e-mail Ms. Palfrey and have been receiving the same messages back. Interestingly, the original messages sometimes reach her...and sometimes they don't. Was/is there ever a 'Kenton Clark' who was/is an attorney in the United Kingdom? Doubtful, though not impossible. Ms. Palfrey informs me (at 9:50 PM Eastern) that she has never known or corresponded with anyone by this name.

A quick google search turns-up something very interesting: there is a classic spam of Nigerian-origin that has the name of a man calling himself 'J. Kenton Clark,' which is very sloppy on-the-part of the individuals (probably at SAIC, they handle much of the contracting for internet surveillance for 'terrorists,' and Ron Roughead is part of these activities) doing it. The name likely comes from a '419 scam':

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc. Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.(http://www.joewein.net/419/emails/2006-05/30/541846.1.htm)

It sounds a lot like the phony 'CEASE AND DESIST' e-mails I received shortly after writing about Ret. Col. Roughead, now working for SAIC as far as anyone knows. As far as this writer can tell, there was never a 'Sam Eardth' (the phony cease and desist e-mails), or even a UK-based barrister named 'Kenton Clark,' or 'J. Kenton Clark.'

This is all unsurprising considering that there are verifiable connections now with SAIC and Ms. Palfrey's phone records for Pamela Martin & Associates. One could imagine the prosecution is in-contact with a number of agencies--illegally--abusing antiterrorist laws in a case that should have been dismissed a year ago. From an example of a classic '419':

Dear Azar,

I am Barrister J.K.Clark Esq.,an attorney of law. I am the personal attorney to late Mr.Roy J. Azar, a national of your country, possibly could be your brother or close relation, who used to work with Anglo-Dutch oil giant, Shell Petroleum and Development Company (SPDC) in Nigeria, here-in-after shall be referred to as my client. ... (ibid)

And so, Ian Fleming's advice on the third-time is not as fictional as we might want to believe. Surely, any blocks of communication by a government agency or contractor (like SAIC or MITRE) are bars to the First Amendment right of free speech and communication between American citizens. This is what makes it unconstitutional and criminal.

Keep-in-mind that Congress created the ability for various agencies like the FBI, and other intelligence agencies and contractors, to do this. One should look to the recent federal district court decision by Judge Victor Marrero, although the government currently has 90 days to appeal the decision on NSLs (National Security Letters).

If it is the government and her agents, they are all on very shaky legal ground right now. Time to cease and desist, kids, the fun is over. No oversight, too much discretion--sounds like the FBI! Meanwhile, the press keeps covering how sorry Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana is for sinning--well, actually, he might have committed a criminal act while in-office.

Ed.-Ms. Palfrey's civil attorney--Montgomery Blair Sibley--has also been encountering similar 'bounce-backs,' containing phony e-mail addresses that are contained in classic 'scam spam' e- mails. In this case, the origin is from 'mailto:Mailer-Daemon@smarth-dorada.atl.sa.earthlink.net'. The section after '@' is where many classic spams originate from.
