- Note - The 'Monitors' announcement that they hoaxed the
Aussie Bloke reads like a copycat claim after a terror event. The following
statement by a fellow who says he hoaxed the entire 'Monitors' piece comes
as no real surprise. The melodrama continues... -ed

- I'm not sure if you have receved this yet but thought
it needed clarification. the "monitors" who claimed they were
the ones who hoaxed the aussie bloke information, are now renegging on
that and say they "did not" do that.. so here is the information
they published to renegg it

- 10:08 am EDTRe: GLP was an "Aussie Bloke" experiment!
so says the Monitors
-
- I have no doubt that this message will be cross-posted,
copied, pasted, and spread just as far and wide as my original "Monitors"
message.
-
- In less than 24 hours, you have all embraced an entirely
fake post that offered NO corroborative evidence and NO verifiable proof
of anything.
-
- Like many of you, I was on the fence regarding Aussie
Bloke, N&W, and even Lyros to some extent. Part of me remains convinced
that an intelligent person, or group, can easily construct a plausible
scenario that many people will believe in, simply because it SOUNDS good.
-
- I could have left "The Monitors" (which, by
the way, was taken from an old Space: Above and Beyond episode, for those
of you who remember that awesome TV show), but I'm really not interested
in sending people into mental institutions or home foreclosure, because
they lost their minds over something they read on the internet.
-
- This should clearly illustrate to you all that you NEED
to improve your BS filters when you read something on the net. There are
organized groups operating even now that will generate a hoax just for
the bragging rights of doing it. If AB/N&W is a hoax, they are right
now patting themselves on the backs and congratulating each other.
-
- Honestly, I don't know if it's real, if any of it's real,
but I had to throw "The Monitors" into the mix to prove a point
that MANY other posters have been shouting at you ever since this began.
-
- It took me all of 15 minutes to write the "Monitors"
message. If someone REALLY wanted to do their homework, ask some questions,
and take some notes, they could create a story that most of us would be
hard-pressed to refute.
-
- Sure, I upset a lot of people, but you guys needed a
wake up call. STOP BELIEVING EVERYTHING YOU READ ON THE INTERNET. Yes,
mainstream media often misses or intentionally buries news items, and sites
like GLP can be valuable resources in finding news that falls through the
holes, but stories like AB´s go beyond all that, and delve deeply
into the realm of complete and utter internet hoax.
-
- Just look at what the reactions to my message were. Some
people refused to believe that AB could be anything but the gospel. Some
people realized it was a hastily prepared scam. Some people saw it as a
logical explanation that reinforced something they´d been thinking
all along. In short, your reactions to my post were very much in line with
your reactions to AB and the like.
-
- I know you´ll all require proof that "The
Monitors" message is a fake, and that I´m the one who did it.
So, here goes.
-
- BLIND SKIES is the proof - totally made it up on the
spot, because it sounded good. AB kept saying look to the skies, but so
many people weren´t seeing anything, so it sounded good. I googled
it myself, and was surprised that the first hit actually had to do with
asteroids. I laughed a little, but then included that part about COINCIDENCE
as a result of my google experience. I picked it out of the blue, people,
and it "hit" when searched on!
-
- When I 'quoted' AB and said LOOK TO THE SKIES and INVESTIGATE
FOR YOURSELF, I fully expected you to do web searches on BLIND SKIES, and
quickly learn that it probably doesn´t exist, never has, never will.
I was a little surprised that the anagram hunters didn't make an appearance
(maybe they did and I missed it). Before I posted, I checked to make sure
there´d be no "hits" on anagrams, and the closest I saw
that you MIGHT latch onto was DISIN BS ELK.
-
- I insinuated government "affiliation" ("The
Monitors" never stated they WERE the government, yet many inferred
that), because I knew that would add even more credibility. Many of you
are convinced that TPTB are untrustworthy (and perhaps they are), so by
adding that element, I insured that those disaffected people would likely
get on board with my message.
-
- Honestly and seriously, I don´t know if AB is telling
the truth. Part of me wants to believe, and part of me just can´t
accept it. I think the preponderance of evidence is against "him",
thanks largely to the efforts of other posters on GLP who did the homework
and dug for the truth.
-
- Why are all the navies leaving port? I don´t know,
but just because none of us know, it doesn´t mean AB is right. Whether
you choose to believe it or not, coincidences DO happen.
-
- In closing, I think you should read these articles on
paranoia and conspiracy theory. I´ve seen them linked in a few other
places, so now they're on GLP, where maybe they can do the most good.

- quoted from part 2 -
-
- In an introductory essay, Peter Knight, editor of the
2002 collection Conspiracy Nation: The Politics of Paranoia in Postwar
America, attributes modern conspiracism to "the pervading sense of
uncontrollable forces taking over our lives, our minds, and even our bodies."
He writes that "conspiracy thinking has become not so much the sign
of a crackpot delusion as part of an everyday struggle to make sense of
a rapidly changing world." In effect, individuals are losing their
sense of agency in a period of political chaos and technological overload,
compulsive consumerism and fear of the future, experiencing a loss of self
and a sense of interchangeability with other digitized and horrifically
surveilled humans, unable to get the big picture into focus and hence fixating
on an idea of the world itself as a vast, impenetrable conspiracy. The
worst thing about the above catalog of alienation effects is that it seems
irreversible and inescapable.
-
- ---------------------
-
- So there you have it. Spread the word. "The Monitors"
are fake. If the moderators of this forum ever bothered to look at the
IP logs, they´d see that this post originates from the same place.
And yes, I really AM a registered member who posts occasionally under a
different name. And to those of you claiming that a ´law´ has
been broken here, and those who would petition congress to ´do something´
about hoaxes, I think you should consult with a real lawyer and find out
a few facts before you make yourselves look even more foolish. My contribution
to the AB saga has been negligible, so I´m not really concerned about
the thought police breaking down my door in the middle of the night to
prosecute me for violating the PA. Duping the gullible may be immoral or
unethical, but it is hardly illegal, unless done for monetary benefit.
With regards, The Monitors

- Please thank the monitors - or whatever - for the newsflash
that people believe things with little scientific support. I will now
read my newspaper more carefully and not accept everything I read. I will
only now question whether forty million dead preterm babies in America
were simply inhuman protoplasm. I will approach fosslized pigs teeth with
the greatest of skepticism about whether they really represent the missing
link in human evolution.
-
- Oh wait, we already knew about these hoaxes. Maybe we
have learned that people are also pompous and mean spririted? No, we knew
that also.
-
- Yeah, I found the article interesting, even exciting.
I looked carefully for news on the matter. But, I went to work every
single day, like everybody else who "believed it." So, what's
this "wholesale" belief BS M/M. Monitor congratulates itself
with? Nobody I know of moved into a cave.
-
- I did and do appreciate the sunset a little more deeply,
since it may not last. I tried to spend a little more time with my family.
I prayed a little more. So, thank you, Monitors. But get over yourself.
I have heard from a much better source that the Lord Himself will return
in very difficult times. He blesses that belief, whatever ill is meant
by those who try to mock it. But I appreciate the reminder. However,
if you believe that only others believe foolish things on critical matters,
then you need the reminding.
