Monsters & Critics makes a "new" documentary on the DC Madam case

Ed.--I'm not sure anything surprises me anymore, and this "new" documentary Monsters & Critics (yet another entertainment media site) is no exception. I was never consulted because I don't (won't) support the ridiculous conspiracy theories peddled by right wing assholes and hungry media assholes who want to massage the facts or ignore them outright to fit their moron-narratives. 

Why do people want to lie about the DC Madam case? Because it sells. I myself could have sold many more copies of my account of the case had I adhered to these fabrications--and that's what they are, pure fiction, from the very tiny minds of morally-impaired idiots. I also have to say that a large-swath of the American public doesn't care about truth or facts and are also scumbags of basically the same ilk.

This is addressed to Harper Hill and her morally-impaired staff:

"Conspiracists and those who claim to know more about 'the list' say it was murder and not suicide." Let me guess--Wayne Madsen, for one? I'm sure Mr. Sibley had a few new dark comments without corroboration as well?  Oh, then there's the ever-credulous Infowars who were never players in the case as I was, only on-the-margins. 
The fact that Hill never contacted me for this "documentary" (safe to assume a bad collection of hastily-assembled clips supporting an erroneous thesis based on a desire for more site hits--money--with a dumb voice-over) speaks volumes for its general lack: lack of an overall array of the primary evidence; a steering very wide-of-the-mark away from contrary evidence (me, the primary records I still possess); and an obvious lacking of a desire for the truth, what really happened.
A Safe Prediction: There will be no new information in this documentary, and it will offer no new insights into the case. 
Therefore, there is no reason for this documentary to exist at all beyond the most obvious economic motivations. In short, one more gaggle of entitled assholes has come and shit upon the late Ms. Palfrey's grave, disrespecting her, her family, and what's left of her memory. Goddamn all of you. You are well-poisoners, the lowest form of human life.

I was going to post this in comments but their site insists that you register an account with Facebook, something I flatly refuse to do.

Wayne Madsen & Me

Where to begin with this guy? OK, I'm not going to, but at some point this well known crank got involved with the DC Madam case doing--I have no idea what the hell he did for Jeane, frankly, but it couldn't have been much since he wasn't hired by her to do general research for her defense. For several months I did this work for Jeane at her request (I had a co-researcher who had also been tapped for this work). 

Initially, we looked into what was then known as the "Poway Mafia," that is, former-and-convicted California congressman Randy Cunningham, convicted-and-former defense contractor Brent Wilkes, the convicted-and-former "number three" guy at the CIA, Kyle Foggo, and a few other players who Jeane felt were related to he case. There was a lot smoke there, but we were only able to go so far with limited resources and time. At the end of the project, we, that is me and my co-researcher, made reports as to the aforementioned--how these players related to her and the escort service and why she was being prosecuted in such a manner. Also, we looked deeply into subpoenaed Verizon phone records that went far deeper than the scanned copies that were and still are online, basically who had a specific phone number, and when, numbers that were in her records as potential client-callers. I was paid by the federal defender's office, normal for indigent defendants, then did the rest pro bono.

Jump to two weeks ago: the UK's paper the Guardian/Globe, without vetting his wacky, rumpled self mistakenly quoted Wayner in an article about an EU deal with the NSA allowing them to conduct massive surveillance. I don't even care about the details, because, yes, he was an NSA analyst at once time, ages ago, claims to still have "sources" inside, or in the intelligence community, writes crappy, baseless articles about it, and is generally ignored as a nut in DC and the rest of the sane, civilized world, and for good reason. If you're a normal, well-balanced human being, go read his writing and tell me he's not nutty as hell. I don't see it happening.

The Globe had to pull a front page article quoting Wayner. Of course, it being the UK, the rest of the press there swarmed around the publication and wrote about it, gleefully. I was a little shocked, but unsurprised, when Damian Thomspon wrote a pretty scathing blog piece at the Telegraph about Madsen and the Globe. I won't recount it and leave it to the reader to check it out and decide for themselves, but in my humble opinion, it's spot-on. 

I left this comment two weeks ago after reading it: 

Madsen tried to attach himself to the DC Madam case for a time as well. Where do I think he got the "Obama is gay" theory? From Larry Sinclair. Ironic that you have Moynihan's Twitter quote on here since he quoted me out of context in one of his inane editorials back in 2008 when Ms. Palfrey was still a name in the news.

I did general research for her on the case & was told by a few sources about a "big party" that Larry Flynt was holding for Jeane, to assist her in some way, and who was there but Wayne Madsen. One of my sources (author Bill Keisling) remarked at how slovenly & disheveled he was, wearing a rumpled suit and sounding like the nut described in this story. He also said it kept him awake at night thinking that someone like Madsen had been working for the NSA, ostensibly competent people hired to "protect" the security of the United States, scary.

Indeed, Mr. Madsen once wrote an article claiming that a "shadowy source (it's almost always that way, hence why no one credible listens to him) that the DC Madam had a CIA controller, something of that nature, but so inane and absurd it doesn't warrant further mention.

Then there's Montgomery Blair Sibley, who, as is generally known in DC, is an unhinged scion of old Beltway aristocracy, the Blairs & the Sibleys--they once owned and inhabited the Blair House before Truman's renovation of the White House, it was expropriated. That, I think, created some long-term crusade by Sibley and his late father to be a thorn in the side of the US Courts, one reason why he's currently disbarred.

But just over five years ago, he was representing the DC Madam, who abruptly fired him in January 2008. Not long after that, he was representing Larry Sinclair, the Obama accuser who claims that he & the now-president had sex and imbibed in cocaine in the back of a limo in Chicago in 1999, all a patent lie by a career-liar of another stripe.

I assume that Sibley and Madsen struck up a relationship during the DC Madam proceedings and that the connection between Sinclair probably emanates from that relationship, however, Sinclair got a lot of ink back in 2008 and is still trotted out by uninformed GOP occasionally to smear the current president, to no avail. 

And there it is, my opinion.Whatever this guy gets involved with loses its credibility. He has a negative-Midas touch--everything he touches turns to shit.
 Luckily, none of this wiped-off onto Glenn Greenwald and Edward Snowden.

And so, here we are, two weeks later, and the Wayner responds with a predictably feeble "I know you are, but what am I?":

It would seem that it was Mr Janovic, who lives in Indiana far from the DC environs, who interjected himself on the Palfrey story and my investigation. The late Palfrey contacted me and this guy Janovic, who apparently blogs from a basement, decided to involve himself from afar and tried to obtain my sources and records as the following email will attest:

Jeane:

They would have to tell us this, definitely, but that's about all they would tell us. Perhaps I can just ask them ourselves? Perhaps Mr. Madsen could direct me to the resources, links, directories. There are those who would know, it could accelerate this particular research.

warm regards, Matt Janovic

The email is real, by the way. His take on it is not. His take on my life is also inaccurate and childish, but that's Wayner for you.

I responded, and this piece will be my final one on this:

Mr. Madsen's reputation speaks for itself, however, besides his poor grammar, he's wrong: the late Ms. Palfrey approached me and the email there--which is one I sent to her--is being re-contextualized. This is how he works normally, to take information and to recast it as something else. He's a laughingstock in DC and rarely, if ever, reveals his sources because they're as bogus as he is.

As for me "trying to obtain" his sources, read the last sentence, I wouldn't want them. Also, I assume that Montgomery Blair Sibley supplied him with the email, fine, but Google his name for what he's been up to recently and you'll understand the sheer nuttiness I experienced having just nominal contact with these people. Right now, the disbarred Mr. Sibley is still trying to wrong-headedly obtain another fifteen minutes of fame doing more pointless court filings to "prove" that President Obama's birth certificate is fake. I wish I could make this up. Mr. Madsen is a conspiracy nut's conspiracy nut, I doubt he was especially good at his NSA analysis job, and what he writes is paranoiac drivel.

The fact is, Jeane approached me first, not the opposite, a week earlier. The above email wasn't an especially relevant one and I believe it was about her prosecutors--doesn't matter, it was a minor issue and isn't even remotely what he's saying it is. I would never want his research materials because he's not good at it, not good at analysis, and as this article makes plain, he has a roundly bad reputation as a crank.

Again, his contention that I "interjected" myself into the case is a bald misrepresentation of fact. His inaccurate personal attack is also a misrepresentation of what really happened, something he's well known for as this article makes plain. Most of his audience is mentally unwell. Frankly, this guy is making me laugh at such an incompetent response, but that's Wayner for you. 

I could go on about what a pain in the ass he's been over the years. In one case, he poisoned the well with Siegelman case in Alabama and maybe even sent other cranks my way to cause me problems, like Andrew Krieg, but it's not worth my or your time, rest assured.

Alex Jones, Kurt Nimmo, & Geraldo Rivera Try to Milk Dollars from Deceased DC Madam: The Ignorant Lying to the Ignorant

The J-7 mail archives --It's not-so-ironic that media exploiters like Larry Flynt and Geraldo Rivera are trying to stoke the fires of controversy by suggesting that Deborah Jeane Palfrey was murdered by some high level cabal. They're hardly alone. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry are acting as if they actually followed the story for longer than a week. But a conspiracy is a tempting scenario. The problem is, Jeane made a lot of contradictory statements to many different people about many things. Some were definite pronouncements, like the February 28th e-mail below this article.

I came into the picture around early-June of 2007 when Jeane wrote me a compliment about a May 6th article I wrote on her case. It was a casual analysis of her situation, and not necessarily very flattering towards her side of things. Interestingly, I write in the piece that "both sides are lying." Today, I see that Alex Jones's "Infowars" is speculating more wildly than I ever could, even with my own eyes and ears perpetually pointed towards the parapolitical (conspiracies). They aren't alone either, millions of very lonely and unimaginative people are following suit.

Literary curmudgeon Harlan Ellison once stated during the late-1990s that the Internet is the greatest purveyor of bad information ever conceived, and Kurt Nimmo's piece, "Geraldo Calls for Florida Gov[ernor] to Investigate Palfrey "Suicide" is a refreshing example of this "bad information." Besides its poor diction, it's clear that Nimmo is pulling just about everything out of his ass. Cobbling together a real hodge-podge of highly speculative connections and sources (namely citing individuals like Wayne Madsen as though they were credible), Nimmo goes as far as to create a peculiar irony within his meandering piece by citing the murder of AUSA Jonathan Luna in December of 2003 as an example of a questionable suicide--Palfrey began our correspondence with the strong-feeling that the genesis of her legal battle somehow began in the Luna case. I never saw the connection, but who knows? A barrage of FOIAs wouldn't necessarily clear any of this up either. Luna's murder remains unsolved.

The strange thing about Nimmo's shoddy article is that it doesn't match its headline, but that's something common in the mainstream media as well. Neither the parapolitical community or the mainstream media have had any real grasp on what this story might mean, but this writer has reached a few humble and reasonable conclusions: namely, that Jeane's Pamela Martin & Associates escort service was merely part of a very large infrastructure of the proffering of women, gifts, and money for the acquisition of coveted government contracts by lobbyists and contractors. Not conspiracy, but unspoken policy and tradition. Naturally, the FBI and other agencies are always watching these services, taking their notes, as in the case of the former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. His own name was selectively-leaked.

Something happened that made Jeane a liability by the Fall of 2006, and it was possibly exposure by honest federal investigators, or any number of scenarios. The timing of her charges before the 2006 midterms always seemed pregnant with possibilities, especially considering the politicos and D.C. big-shots subsequently outed by her were all Republicans. It's simply an unknown exactly what initiated the investigation. The government's prosecution isn't telling, and neither are the original investigators. As we know, the one person who might clarify some of this is now gone, though I can attest to the fact that she didn't appear to know the whole picture either.

During my research for the defense (under two defense teams, no-less), Jeane finally dropped a very big name indeed: convicted Poway defense contractor, Brent Wilkes. She told myself and my co-researcher to dig-up as much data as we could on him and his co-conspirators, to summarize it, and find any connections that we could to her situation. Later work had us searching through subpoenaed Verizon phone records that went much deeper into who held the more impenetrable numbers and/or cells already posted on the Internet. Remarkably, a lot of it did seem to fit, and noting the Smoking Gun's early questions directed at her in the Fall of 2006, the connection appeared solid. It was as if the federal investigators had scripted the interview questions for Bill Bastone, editor of the site. Jeane frequently voiced her contempt for him, and at one point he was on the subpoena list.

Ken Silverstein's articles on "Hookergate" and Shirlington Limousine (used by Wilkes to ferry prostitutes to former GOP Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham and others unknown) also seemed to corroborate Jeane's assertion that she had had telephone contact with Brent Wilkes on at least a few occasions. What she conveyed to us fit the facts, and even some of the time-line. But, every time I pushed her for proof, I got a wall of silence.

The Spitzer scandal was similar to Jeane's case in that it had all the same appearances of selective prosecution, but it gave her some very brief hope right before the trial. It was a hope that wasn't going to last:

Indeed, Spitzer was lucky, as only his career suffered sudden death. Debra Jeane Palfrey was not so lucky. Or was Jonathan Luna.

Luna, a Baltimore-based Assistant United States Attorney, apparently suffered the same fate as Palfrey, although his murder, also excused as a “suicide,” was far more grisly. At the time of his “suicide,” Luna was working under fired US attorney Thomas M. DiBiagio, who was investigating corruption charges against then-Republican Maryland Governor Bob Ehrlich and his staff, the lot accused of engaging the services of Palfrey’s escorts. In addition to Ehrlich, Jack Abramoff, convicted of fraud in dealings with SunCruz Casinos, was under investigation at the time of Luna’s “suicide,” obviously a homicide.

It is said Luna stabbed himself 36 times with a penknife and subsequently drowned himself in a creek in Denver, Pennsylvania. ("Geraldo Calls for Florida Gov to Investigate Palfrey "Suicide,"' Infowars, 05.04.2008) http://www.infowars.com/?p=1914

It's obvious that Nimmo's unaware of the the possible connection between the Palfrey and Luna cases, though granted that there might be no connection whatsoever. It's known that the IRS office in Baltimore was part of the early-stages of the investigation into Palfrey at roughly the same time of the events that led-up to the murder of Jonathan Luna.

Palfrey told this writer on several occasions that she strongly suspected her problems came out of a plea deal by former convicted Baltimore Police Commissioner Ed Norris, and that it was somehow mixed-up with the Luna murder. She called it her "cesspool of muck" theory. That's right, even the subject herself was seeing conspiracies everywhere--then just as abruptly as they came along, drop them. We never found evidence of a tangible connection to the Luna case, and Norris didn't appear to be offering any corroboration. Though Norris was interviewed extensively by Rawstory, these interviews have failed to surface. It's the opinion of this writer that they weren't fruitful, though Palfrey stated that they had conducted twelve hours of them. The notion of a connection to the Luna case was dropped sometime after August of 2007 by Palfrey in her missives to myself, and didn't come up much after that, if at all. By December, the talk was of Brent Wilkes. By March, it was of John McCain, Dick Cheney, and even Fred Thompson, the names we can presume Larry Flynt is sitting-on right now. With Thompson, it's a foregone conclusion, and the proof will have to be rock-solid.

Additionally, it's the opinion of this author that Wayne Madsen has no Pentagon or CIA sources, or any sources within the government whatsoever in the "Cheney scoop"--it was likely Deborah Jeane Palfrey. As you can imagine, it's a real labyrinth. The Sphinx-like lady left quite a mess behind and took many secrets with her...or did she? Mr. Nimmo and Geraldo--like the graverobbers that they are--are really just grandstanding along with the other ghouls out there, speculating wildly about something they know nothing whatsoever about. Jeane forwarded this to me on March 17th of this year on Geraldo's credibility. She really nails it:

Bil… FYI – the Coast to Coast Radio interview went very well. I was on-air for about an hour and a half, with commercial breaks interspersed during the time, of course. However, I walked off the Geraldo set. I was sitting in the chair, “miked” with earpiece in-place, when I decided that I wasn’t going to participate in the circus Geraldo was making out of the entire Spitzer ordeal. The first guest, the ex-boyfriend of Spitzer’s escort was repeatedly called a pimp by Geraldo and she constantly was referred as a whore. When I heard that Heidi Fleiss was to follow the boyfriend, I “got” where Geraldo was going. In true primadonna style, I announced that I had no intention of participating in “something like this”, ripped the mike from my lapel – grabbed my purse and exited the building. -Jeane

And so, the lady speaks, once again, and her exploiters continue to attempt squeezing dollars out of her. If you believe Geraldo Rivera or Larry Flynt are anything but exploitative scum, I have a bridge in Brooklyn you might be interested in buying. She's going to keep accusing the hypocritical for a very long time, despite her death. Alex Jones needs to exert some quality-control on his site, but he's hardly alone. Imagine how poor a job they and the mainstream media are all doing on all the other stories. It makes you think.

Prosecutors in Palfrey Case Refuse Once Again to Present List of Accusers or Any Evidence for Pretrial Hearings

Washington D.C.--In a repeat performance from June 5th of this year, the government's prosecution has refused to provide the names of the women (and anyone else, not even military strategist Harlan Ullman or "Jennifer," a former employee of high powered law firm Akin Gump) testifying against Deborah Jeane Palfrey, with an impending hearing for discovery slated for November 28th. The public has the right to know this, and other evidence the prosecution has, as does the defendant.

Some have presumed that the defense is aware of who all the accusers are, and while this is likely to be true overall, there could still be some surprises. Other interesting events occurred on that same day of June 5th: Ms. Palfrey's ailing mother was confronted at her Florida home by agents of the IRS and the Justice Department just minutes after Palfrey had left the residence for a visit.

This means these federal agents were lying-in-wait at a very close proximity, making for some possibly humorous imagery. One can imagine a gaggle of these individuals hiding in the brush somewhere, or chewing on donuts and gum in their vehicles paid for by the average American taxpayer. Maybe they were just bored and impatient. Predictably, they aren't explaining their investigative procedures (or legal demeanor), and they're still not telling....anything at all. Considering how bumbling they all come-off, they might not want anyone to know what their actual investigative procedure entails--and certainly not the federal grand jury. It's unknown whether the jury is aware of the backgrounds of Palfrey's accusers or not, though it's doubtful.

It should also be noted that on-or-around June 5th the pseudo story that Dick Cheney "might" be in the phone records of Pamela Martin & Associates was trotted-out by the poorly-dressed Wayne Madsen. This writer ponders whether Madsen will ever reveal any of his sources, though it's also doubtful. Dissemination of the "Cheney story" was immediate and nearly ubiquitous. The week centering around was an awfully active one, wasn't it? Why it was gulped-up by far too many sites, blogs, and even some of the mainstream media is probably a matter of economics. Again, just another quick-fix that leads nowhere and means nothing, smelling more like disinformation than anything else. But since it brings in so many hits to a site, it's considered valuable. This is a point of vulnerability that legitimate and sincere sites should be considering...

And so, in this context it should be considered by all that Ret. Colonel Ronald Roughead (of SAIC) ran propaganda operations through the IMN (Iraqi Media Network), a fact that is pregnant with possibilities. It appears some of his work at SAIC focuses on "terrorist" activities on the internet and the dissemination of information. Surely, he's acquainted with affecting the flow of information, and could possibly be involved in activities on the web meant to isolate and channel information damaging to himself and his brother. He's got the skills and the resources, and considering the anarchic era we're in, it's not unlikely that he's been using them, having an entire crew to work with. In the private sector, this might not be illegal, unless it was work being done under a government contract, then the rules could be very different.

But according to the mainstream media--and even so-called "progressive" publications, sites, and blogs--none of this is important. Either the story isn't important (Corn's likely assertion), or maybe she's "lying. This appears to be John Cook's (Radar) and Larisa Alexandrovna's (Rawstory) contention. Just ask David Corn of the Nation. On this note, you can kiss your credibility goodbye, Mr. Corn. Either you're incredibly naive, or you might just be protecting people of the same class. Something is blinding many of you in the press to the possibilities of this story, and this writer believes many of you have been had.

Perhaps its a matter of professional loyalty to one's peers, which this writer rejects wholly. Do you really want to end this war and this criminal presidential administration or not? What's obvious is that Ret. Colonel Ron's brother Rear Admiral Gary Roughead--or someone under his command--has been searching the internet on the story relating to themselves, and from various geographic locations from U.S. Navy ISPs. Rear Admiral Gary Roughead is the current CNO of the entire U.S. Naval Fleets, but obviously this isn't newsworthy.

All of this is documented elsewhere on this site. Considering that one of the women testifying against Palfrey that she engaged in prostitution for Pamela Martin & Associates is still serving as a supply officer at Annapolis, and you could have a very real case of conflict of interest regarding the Roughead connection. But that kind of a relationship seems to be at the heart of the entire affair, and this is the second Bush era, after all. British military authorities shot Mata Hari for reporting information on the British tanks before the Battle of the Somme in 1916, tipping-off the Germans. Are similar actions being expedited in Washington thanks to the corruption and incompetence of those sworn to protect us?
