Let me begin by saying that I am not a participant in the Internet culture. And I do mean, not at all. I do not use social media, never have done. I have no interest in interacting with others on the Internet.
I do not maintain any kind of “e-mail contact list”. This is what most people seem to have, a list of contacts which they use to send out notices and other communications, or to forward messages. And these people seem to assume that because they have such a list, that everyone does.
I get e-mail messages: Please send this out to all your contacts, everyone on your e-mail list!
Here's the thing: I don't have a list. I do not send out e-mails to any “list”, because there is no list.
I do not have a public e-mail address, because I do not wish to receive e-mail messages from the general public. Anyone who is serious about wanting to contact me is welcome to do so via my postal mailing address.
The only people who have my private e-mail address are those to whom I have given permission to use it.
The purpose of this memo is to ask those who do have my e-mail address to please not send forwarded e-mails, video links, or to make requests that I forward their e-mails to others. Because, I repeat: I have NO E-MAIL CONTACT LIST.
If I want to promote an issue, support or endorse a cause, or persons involved, I will do so on my website.
And there is another issue here, which I find it necessary to address. I have a serious problem with people sending me messages which I find offensive, especially when they involve Jew-haters, for which I have ZERO TOLERANCE.
Usually, I just don't respond, in the hope that the sender will not continue with the offensive material.
I need to maintain peace in my life, so I do not allow myself to get into conflicts with people, not over political issues, nor any other issues.
I respect the rights of others to their own views, even when I vehemently disagree. I will tell others that I do not agree, but that I will not be arguing with them about the issue.
But sometimes, there are issues about which I cannot remain silent. And although I won't argue with anyone about these issues, I will make a public statement. Otherwise, my blood pressure might become a serious problem, in trying to contain my outrage.
Here is just one example of something I was recently asked to promote, which in good conscience, I cannot.
This was regarding the case of a woman named Tina Peters, who was convicted of several felonies.
I wasn't familiar with the details of the case, but when I went to the link for a video sent to me, I was appalled to find that it was hosted by a Jew-hater named Michael Jaco, whose name had been added to my HALL OF SHAME years ago.
Then, I found others who were promoting this Tina Peters, and they were all of the same ilk: Jew-haters, QAnon crackpots, grifters, con artists, charlatans. All the usual suspects, persona non grata, the enemies of all I hold dear.
In fact, they had all been added to my HALL OF SHAME years before, and some had been exposed in my reports.
Lauren Boebert; Michael Jaco; Mike Lindell; Dennis Montgomery; Juan O Savin (aka Wayne Willott), the Q-Anon Conspiracy Kingpin; Mary Fanning.
It turns out that this Tina Peters was involved in the scam perpetrated by convicted criminal, con artist, Dennis Montgomery, regarding the stolen election.
A video was made by Mike Lindell, ABSOLUTE PROOF, making claims based on the falsehoods of Dennis Montgomery.
I had done the research on this at the time, and had tried to warn others, but they didn't listen. That's fine, but I know what my own conclusion was, based on the facts of the case.
So, even if the election was stolen, these shady characters destroyed the chances of genuine evidence being brought forward, and made legitimate people working to pursue justice look like crackpot conspiracists.
So, no. I can't support Tina Peters. As far as I can see, she broke the law and her accomplices are just as guilty, though they escaped imprisonment.
And please, no offense meant, but I have no dealings with characters like this, and want none.
For those who want to promote them, please leave me off the list.
Thank you for your consideration.
