As some of you out there may have noticed, there has been a movement by Justice for Caylee and Caylee’s Warriors to boycott the new book by Defense Atty Jose Baez. I have been having a short conversation with one of the members about the problems they are having in getting a voice to get the word out.

To assist them in their cause, I have decided to resume webcasting within the next few days on my blogtv.com channel.

http://www.blogtv.com/people/murtwitnessonelive

It will take me some time to get up to speed, but once I am on a regular schedule I will post broadcast times. I will attempt to do the marathon broadcasts I used to do early in the coverage of the case as well as schedule road trips to go to places of interest.

REPEAT BEHAVIOR

The so called blog war saga has taken a recent turn toward qualifying as bullying rather than seeking a truth or exposing a troll. In a revisit to tactics used against me, demeaning images of the target of this war are now appearing in post after post by one side of this war.

 

Again I must stress that I am not taking sides in the ongoing battle but rather am watching the developments as they occur with increasing concern. That concern is due to the fact that I respect the person who is seeking the truth and the work she has done so far with her blog and forum over the years covering true crime.

I do fear that her effort to cover what she considers a fraud in the true crime circles is leading her down the slippery slope of bullying. I am not sure what the source is for some of the things she claims but to personally attack the individual rather than deal with specific evidence of what she alleges will only serve to label her as a bully.

Her target will then win the war by default not having to do anything but remain silent while her predator walks into the trap.

@FIND-SIERRA

Every once in a while a random tweet catches my eye. This time it was a series of tweets by someone trying to locate 15 year old Sierra LaMar. This another missing child among thousands of others. It has been 37 days since she went missing. There are all sorts of internet sites besides the twitter account that caught my attention:

This is the main website: http://findsierralamar.com/

Besides the main website there are several others:

https://www.facebook.com/Find.Sierra.LaMar

It is nice to know that there are efforts out there to find missing children and that those efforts are not beset by trolls, cyber bullies and other misfits. I pray for her safe return.

Somewhere in cyberspace, an internet lioness is hunting out her prey. This lioness is part of a pack of predator lionesses seeking the same prey. The prey has been elusive until now. The pack is getting closer. Perhaps the prey is tiring of the hunt and is secretly letting the predators close in.

Or is the prey the bait for a hunter? A hunter able to strike from a long distance away. Undetected by the prey. Undetected by the predators.

I have been paying rapt attention to the Radionewz blog as well as to various comments by Amelia Sobel over this ever growing blog war that seems to have cropped up between these two internet notables and their supporters.

This war/saga started with accusations back and forth of lies and misconduct on the various internet blogs and websites, grew to profiting off of a dead child and is now getting to the point where lawsuit threats are flying around like buzzards on road kill.

There are even accusations of violations of the Hepa laws regarding unauthorized access to medical information and the writing to those medical officials treating a disorder offering “medical advice.”

There is even the accusations of “tax violations” thrown in for good measure, reminding me of another blogger who accused half the citizens of a Midwest county of every sin and law breaking imaginable along with tax violations thrown in for good measure. Since this blog fest also involves a dispute between the female gender, it seems more likely this is nothing more than a bitch fest than any effort at finding any truth.

I half expect that some weeks or months from now all these feuding felines will kiss and make up and then find someone else to pick on. Absolutely nothing would surprise me at this point.

And the beat goes on.

There is a “crazy niece” in Ohio that wrote about her “aunt crazy” in Illinois. I wonder if this t shirt belongs to that “aunt crazy”?

You never know

The Radio Newz blog has been interesting to read over the past few weeks as the articles have dealt with defamatory slander and other cyber bullying and yet another individual wishing someone to die publicly on twitter

http://radionewz.net/2012/05/ceelo-green-wishes-death-upon-people-in-a-tweet/comment-page-1/#comment-3196

 

It seems that when a bully gets frustrated that their target will not back down they will resort to posting that they would wish their target dead. In this case, the bully even included the children of the victim to die as well. One has to wonder about the mental state of a person like this and thus worry about any children they might come in contact with in real life. One woman who wished ME dead has grand children. I would be deeply concerned about the welfare of ANY child whom may be visiting her or be visited by her.

As Radio continues to write these articles, they are stark reminders of what I went through and what others are now going through.

The continued anger over the acquittal of Casey Anthony is demonstrated once again with the advent of a new boycott by the Citizens for Caylee group as well as other associated groups as the news that defense atty Jose Baez is writing his version of events during the course of the Casey Anthony saga.

http://citizensforcaylee.wordpress.com/baez-book-deal-no-way-jose/

The case of Caylee Anthony is most unusual in that groups formed early to assure that there was nobody “making money off a dead child.” The center if the groups ire are Casey, and the members of the defense team as well as that of the Anthony family who attempt to reap financial gain from the death of Caylee.

I know of no other case where this kind of sustained anger and resulting action by dissenters has taken place. It will be interesting to see how long the intense anger lasts and if their efforts will be successful.

One of the most common problems with bloggers is their tendency to alter content either deleting dialog or other contents from material they quote or source in their articles to simply creating content out of thin air.

There is a local case here in Central Florida that seems to indicate that the so called ethics of the main stream “professional journalist” has gone out the window with the clear and rampant altering of  a 911 telephone call made by George Zimmerman who is facing prosecution for the shooting a young black male and bringing to the forefront Florida’s stand your ground law.

A THIRD NBC employee has been fired for altering the contents of that call. What makes this significant is that these are reporters ON THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA and not bloggers.

http://movies.yahoo.com/news/nbc-fires-miami-reporter-over-edited-911-call-040611588.html

This is also NOT a new problem. For some strange reason people tend to trust the mainstream media more and are more willing to believe whatever comes out of a “professional journalist” than from an “amateur blogger.” It is now clear that it is a misplaced trust. Readers and viewers tend to forget that reporters and other PROFESSIONAL journalists are people as well. They are ambitious people in a HIGH PAYING and HIGHLY COMPETITIVE business. They are also people with big egos similar to that of movie stars and other entertainment professionals. These are ego driven people who thrive in the limelight of their profession and are always vying to be the next Walter Cronkite or Barbara Walters at an anchor desk somewhere on a big shot network. To accomplish this goal these so called professionals are willing to place innocent victims in danger or ruin their lives all in the pursuit of higher ratings and a better resume.

As more and more firings by the networks of their reporters and editors for this kind of deception become public, there will soon be nobody for viewers or readers to trust when trying to get to the truth of matters of interest. That is the true cost of what these ego driven deceivers have done in the process of their reporting.

TOPIX+TROLLS=TROUBLE.

“I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore.”

This is the tagline of an ever growing number of cyber bullying victims who have had enough and are now starting to fight back in ever increasing numbers. For years, Topix and other forums and blog space providers have been the tool of Trolls and Cyber bullies intent on slandering, libeling and outright ruining the lives of those they victimize.

Topix is the worst of these sites. Topix began as a news aggregator which categorizes news stories by topic and geography. It was created by Bryn Dole, Rich Skrenta, Bob Truel, Tom Markson, Mike Markson, and Chris Tolles, many of whom founded the Open Directory Project.

Soon after it was formed, the abuses started. Nobody policed the content of the forums. Anyone can create a forum on Topix. Once created it is hard to get one of these taken down. or at least it used to be.

The Clarksville, Texas couple were awarded the money after the District judge said that their reputation and livelihoods had suffered from the anonymous abuse online  Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2134613/Couple-wins-14million-masking-anonymous-internet-trolls-labeled-sexual-deviants.It turns out that the days of Topix abuse may be numbered. It seems that a Texas couple was the victim of the worst kind of Topix abuse which upon reading was quite similar to what I have been going through not only on Topix but on at least one WordPress blog and several Blogger blogs.

Couple win $14million after un-masking anonymous internet trolls who labeled them sexual deviants

  • Ruling could have effect on social networking sites such as Twitter

     

  • Internet forum forced to give up IP addresses to identify those who had posted abuse

     

http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/Texas-Couple-Wins-Big-Internet-Defamation-Case-148586955.html

This case clearly defines the abuses that are rampant on the internet and the consequences for those who engage in this practice.

“Kentucky Attorney General announces Topix.com settlement agreement”

Screams another headline as 35 state attorneys join forces to quell the abuses Topix.

http://www.examiner.com/article/kentucky-attorney-general-announces-topix-com-settlement-agreement

This shows that the government has been keeping an eye on Topix and they have had enough as well.

Facebook is facing the heat as well as more and more of their sites are being eyed by lawyers who see a new found gold mine in this area of litigation:

“Alleged Bullies Sued Over Racist and Obscene Fake Facebook Profile”

Hmm, Fake Facebook page, remember that one folks?

http://personalliberty.com/2011/12/09/blogger-sued-for-defamation/

Those bloggers who go around accusing people of being PEDOPHILES ought to take note of this lawsuit that came out of OREGON, which is close to the state of Washington the home of a certain blogger who likes to accuse people of being PEDOPHILES. Care to guess who SHE is?

Even the state of OHIO is not immune. Attention you OHIO bloggers up there!!

Headshots of Tarazi and Geller

Ohio attorney Omar Tarazi has settled his lawsuit against Atlas Shrugs blogger Pamela Geller. The defamation claim stemmed from Geller’s allegations that Tarazi had ties to terrorists.

Under the terms of the settlement, Geller must delete five posts.

And the cases keep on coming as more and more victims stand up for their rights and reputations against these bullies. This bullying and abuse may have been part of the reason that Animasher recently shut down amid rumors of scores of letters to them and their sponsors scorning them for allowing the widespread abuse of their animation software by cyber bullies. Some of the images made available by Animasher was considered pornography and it is said that several investigations were underway that may have led to criminal charges being levied against the founders of this website.

And of course there is this headline about YOUTUBE and DEFAMATION BY CARTOON (where have you heard THIS term before?)

“Officer Bubbles’ sues YouTube and users over cartoons

Part of the article reads:

Josephs’ lawsuit isn’t targeting the video that sparked his infamy, but a collection of eight cartoons posted to the popular video website that show a police officer resembling Josephs engaging in abusive acts of power.

The animations depict an officer named “A. Josephs” arresting a variety of people — from Santa Claus to U.S. President Barack Obama — as well as punching a news photographer.

EVEN COPS ARE SUING THE BULLIES!!!!In his statement of claim, Josephs calls the cartoons and several comments “devastatingly defamatory,” alleging they have brought him “ridicule, scandal and contempt both personally and as a member of the (Toronto Police Service).”

He claims the animations have also resulted in threats against him and his family.

Even a COP understands that this is a serious problem and has joined the civil litigation movement against abuse of these services by Cyber Bullies.

And so it goes that every day brings and increase in the resentment toward Internet cyber bullies and those services that turn a blind eye to these abuses. Sooner or later I am hoping that those who abused me feel the wrath of those they have caused harm when one day, perhaps soon. a process server comes knocking at their door.
