A Proud Lie

Indymedia's Relationship with Total Assholes
by Flipside

As I interact with the Boston Indymedia Center, I find out more about the structure and operations of this alleged home of open publishing and truthful independent news which allegedly operates as a locally run, "c'mon down" sort of node of the international network.  What it really is, is a bulletin board for local anarcho-socialist, communist, and homosocialist warfare against people, companies, and local landmarks.  It is a place for vandals, protesters, and disruptors of free speech and assembly to post glamor shots of themselves in a self-congratulatory and highly censorious environment edited by an anonymous handful of interested parties which run out of a cell in downtown Boston.

This month I have made interesting breakthroughs on the identities of several of the criminals who routinely use Boston Indymedia Center (BIMC) as a base for free speech disruption, the dissemination of terrorist material, the laundered support of political parties, and the launching of anonymous personality attacks against the enemies of a very privileged group of left-extremists operating out of Boston's local high schools and colleges.  This month, I have obtained comprehensive information on three major slimes who were operating under the names X, Antifa, and Shadowboxer.  They are Pete Lowney, David Rolde, and Michael Gould-Wartofsky respectively.  I have also discovered the network of backchannels by which BIMC participates in a form of "documentation" which is really participation, the nature of which leads to deaths, such as the death of NYIMC member Brad Will who was killed this month while "documenting" the Zapatista EZLN.

This election month, I grabbed the attention of members of the Green Party who were using BIMC to attack members of the Massachusetts Police Force.  I have discovered more names of the cell of anarchists operating out of Lawrence, Massachusetts.  Much of this interaction was summarily destroyed by members of BIMC, but I keep good records of our transactions.  From here I shall describe my interactions of this month and the amusing and pathetic antics which followed.

Arise, write someting witchy:

I caught BIMC in a debacle this month where Sofia Jarrin-Thomas did center-column an anonymously attributed "Free all of Palestine" article which was actually corroborated by a Haters Magazine (HM) source to be penned by "Pete L." whose email address
(Proudline@yahoo.com) identifies him as Pete Lowney, a snowboarder and ice climber.  He is also an anti-zionist with outstanding warrants for disorderly conduct in Lexington, MA and has a deportation record.  He spends most of his time travelling abroad, going snowboarding, or living the lush life of a career protestor.  That is, when he is not forwarding communiques from Saddam Hussein and Hezbollah:

"...will Satan the deceiver and the hate-filled supporters of Zionism keep pushing the Americans until the waves swallow them and they sink to the depths of the raging sea."

"Esteemed ladies and gentlemen of the peoples of America, the time has come to an end in which greatest and best-equipped armies could scatter the organized formations of the opposing army and thereby bring a war to a close. Now you see our courageous army, our heroic people, and our Mujahideen replacing the system of organized formations with a new kind of warfare. And when the Americans on the ground become targets in the vicinity of the guns of the revolutionaries, who attack them as deadly human bombs with nothing more than their bodies filled with faith in God, American superiority is worn down over time. In fact in the
near future that superiority will become a burden whose equipment will be difficult to withdraw. So, will America trust the voice of rationality and logic that calls for the preservation of what still remains, or will Satan the deceiver and the hate-filled supporters of Zionism keep pushing the Americans until the waves swallow them and they sink to the depths of the raging sea?."

The address of the General Secretary of Hizballah, His Excellency Sayyid Hasan Nasrallah, to the Nation, the Lebanese people, the resistance fighters, the
Zionists, and the Arab leaders.

Translated by Muhammad Abu Nasr

Friday, 14 July 2006.

Peace be upon you and the mercy of God and His blessings!

Thus Pete Lowney, aka Pete L. or Proudline is a lily white 36 year old from Newton, MA who views himself as a member of Hezbollah, forwarding the communiques of Iraqi and Lebanese dictators and terrorists as if they were instructions to the Boston Anarchist community.  He wears a hijab. 
He writes really horrible and necrophiliac emotional poetry on his blog "The Invisible Poison" where he imagines himself to be a maggot and bemoans the state of the world in the manner of a textbook disillusioned narcicistically damaged Holden Caulfield type terrorist recruit.

"The personal pathway model suggests that terrorists came from a selected at risk population who have suffered from early damage to their self esteem. Their subsequent political activities may be consistent with the liberal social philosophies of their families." --Who Becomes a Terrorist and Why

For some time I did not know who this person was, who operates on BIMC under several hundred aliases including  "
x, The Angry Goyim, reposted, Phalanx, Voxfux, messenger, Agent Smiley, and fauxlosopher," usually posting garbage about 9-11 conspiracies, chemtrails, and psychotronic warfare.  He is obsessed with Israel, and was deported from there for his membership in ISM which is theWest Bank pro-palestinian group whose member Rachel Corrie was killed by an Israeli bulldozer while protesting the occupation.

The sad circumstances of Rachel Corrie's death-by-documentation notwithstanding, Pete Lowney has an intense sympathy for Al Qaeda, the jihadist movement, and has a bitter hostility against Jews and Evangelical Christians.  He vents this hostility by running around the Boston area with David Rolde and they do things like crash Jewish school events, and drape things over the Christmas displays downtown, and provoke push-fights with local police.  With an anarchist cell from Lawrence, he was arrested in 2005 for vandalism in a protest of Raytheon.  He has been kicked, punched, eye-gouged, and maced by police from Lexington to Andover, and he enjoys it.  His tale of vandalism and resisting arrest was documented by Sean Donahue of Durham, NH who printed it to BIMC.

In 2005, he was later arrested by official-police-as-rent-a-cops in Lexington for a protest against the Israeli consul Meir Shlomo.
"Pete was the only one arrested and was charged with trespass, disorderly, AB on a PO and resisting arrest," said his National Lawyers' Guild (NLG) rep Beverly Chorbajian.  A mistrial was later declared when the Lexington police were caught in flagrante delicto thieving disclosure evidence from the judge's desk and fleeing the courtroom.  Lexington does in fact play whore-steerer to Israeli officials, and Lexington police did blow the trial.  And yet, Pete Lowney distinguished himself as the one worth arresting for trespassing, disorderly conduct, assault and battery and resisting arrest as he had done several times before.  He was transported to Lawrence for his outstanding warrants.

Subsequently, Pete Lowney's name was entered into a few intelligence databases and this was during the time he was also using BIMC as his own private, anonymous anti-hasbara of not only anti-zionist propaganda, but strange stuff about 9-11, chemtrails, and mind control.  He was entered into the database of The Jewish Advocate (TJA) which is a zionist hasbara newspaper operating out of the Combat Zone in downtown Boston.  They have correlated his presence at various protests and traced his activism.  Haters Magazine has visited TJA in the past regarding BU's Richard Landes and his support of Harvard's Larry Summers and determined that they do not accept submissions to the editor which contradict the Zionist party line.  They also track people who have run afoul of Hillel House which runs hasbaras on all university campuses.

When Pete Lowney was entered into the
Massachusetts State Police's "Fusion Center" database he was sincerely fuct.  Officer Philip Tarpey SPD/CIB of Springfield MA asked the Fusion Center to forward the email to the Lexington Police, thereby informing them that members of Lowney's anarchist cell were
organizing a court solidarity appearance (a pack-the-court session).  He lifted the email  from Ariseaction@yahoogroups.com from a list called Arise Action which he joined as a member and which is a soft cell with hard members with multiple affiliations who relay information through backchannels to the more socialist, anarchist, communist and criminal organizations.  Pete Lowney was forwarding his story to Arise Action and to the Boston Anarchists to recruit them for court appearance, and while he was looping this information, Officer Tarpey was relaying it back to Lexington where it was harming his case.

That his relay was subject to relay was pissing off Pete Lowney, so he also back chanelled the information to Sofia Jarrin-Thomas of Indymedia who centered the article.  BIMC by this action claimed constructive authorship of the article and its protected comments outlining the nature and personality of third parties.  It was at this point that I confronted BIMC about the article  I targetted all interested parties which included BIMC, WMASS IMC, SA, NECDP, Arise, and by overlap, the Massachusetts Green Party:

28 Sep 2006

This article is a special favor by BIMC for DON OGDEN who is both a WMASS IMC editor/censor and a member of Arise for Social Justice. Owen Broadhurst is running for office and is in this political organization with Socialist David Rolde who is a Friend of Boston Indymedia from Socialist Alternative. Owen Broadhurst promptly responded to this article which indicates that BIMC has back channel contacts with ARISE. Pete Proudline has a criminal record and David Rolde is using Arise to wage warfare against the police on his behalf. BIMC indulges them. This article was published under a fake name to conceal the identity of David Rolde from Weston MA, of the New England Committee to Defend Palestine. BIMC is passing anonymous slander as news.

This promptly got the attention of Owen Broadhurst who replied:

For the record, neither myself nor Mr. Rolde - to the best of my knowledge - in fact are members of ARISE for Social Justice. Given this, information relayed to this site by people who claim the contrary should not in any way be viewed as being at all credible- but shoudl be viewed as suspect.

Furthermore, to cite my very own reply to posts of 14 September containing erroneous and false information as evidence of a "backdoor" between ARISE for Social Justice and Boston IMC discredits not only that accusation but also s/he who did level that accusation. I have contributed to Boston IMC within the past, very frequently read Boston IMC posts, and subscribe to the Google news beta service alerting me to various articles of interest based on select keywords. Of course I noticed.

I am indeed a candidate for State Representative in the Third Hampden District, and have stated that here plainly. I also state my name plainly.

Correction of Disinformation Campaign Continues
by Owen Broadhurst
owen.broadhurst (nospam) gmail.com (verified)     28 Sep 2006

Hello, folks -

As surely most individuals who have read the noted article and posts following have noted, the list in question has traditionally been a very open list that is in no way reserved specfically for members of ARISE for Social Justice. I personally happen to be no more an ARISE for Social Justice than former fellow list subscriber Officer Tarpey has been. I should note that I may very well someday join the ranks of ARISE for Social Justice and very much admire that organization - but am in no way, shape or form a member today.

Sincerely yours,

Owen R. Broadhurst


So I took the opportunity to present my opinion of his candidacy for Green Party State's Representative:

FLIPSIDE
(No verified email address)     28 Sep 2006

It is also of the utmost importance to the votership that they be informed that you are quite an associate of David Rolde, who is a very dubious political personality. You author Green Party proposals together.

http://www.massgreens.org/pipermail/statecom/2004-August/005168.html

David Rolde is widely known as the fat guy in a burqa that posts raving anti-semitic lunacy to the Boston Anarchists Listserv and caused a huge tiff with the other Jewish members which resulted in Sholom Keller leaving town.

Rolde aka Green Party Secretary also said:

"...The violence is entirely the fault of the Zionist entity. We cannot place any blame on people for defending themselves from brutal racist colonial expansionist occupation...".

David Rolde Tried to get Weston School Committee to eliminate the Pledge of Allegiance.

Just what the hello kind of American are you? What kind of human? What kind of eco-fascist anti-semite to have David Rolde as your henchman?

I quote you, Owen Broadhurst:

"we recognize the following presidential and vice presidential candidates (in addition to the Green Party ticket of David Cobb and Pat LaMarche) as comrades in the struggle against the corporate imperialist parties, and we applaud them for declaiming our common views in the presidential forum:

The Socialist Equality Party ticket of Bill Van Auken & Jim Lawrence,
The Workers World Party ticket of John Parker & Teresa Gutierrez
The Independent ticket of Ralph Nader & Peter Camejo
The Peace & Freedom Party ticket of Leonard Peltier & Barry Bachrach
The Socialist Party USA ticket of Walt Brown & Mary Alice Herbert"

http://www.green-rainbow.org/StateCom/meetings/2004summer/proposals2004s


BIMC which ostensibly only hides false information promptly began deleting the entire discussion, eliminating the evidence that they had been caught back channelling information from the WMASS - Arise - Green cell on behalf of David Rolde and Pete Lowney, and in which Owen Broadhurst had been drawn because David Rolde and Pete Lowney are intimately connected with all of the organizations.  The BIMC agent deleting the articles was Jonathan McIntosh.  I discovered his identity because when I relentlessly reposted the deleted information, he complained to Sofia Jarrin-Thomas:

Hi Jon,

This is Jonathan (a newer member of boston indymedia) sofia jarrin asked me to email you because her net is down. I believe she left you a phone
message.

Anyway it looks like the BIMC site has been spammed by this flipside person. I have deleted about 30 or 40 of the posts today but can not keep up, he
most have a bot working.

All the newswire has been filled with the same post from him. Is there anything we can do about this?

Thanks

To which the answer was no.  Being one who despises craven acts of cowardice and censorship I played indian brave and let my censor know that he was identified:

Attn: Jonathan McIntosh by Flipside


You DO realize that I know who you are, and that I know your Caped Masked and Armed Website, and your picture, and that I am on BIMC right now, speaking to Owen Broadhurst, the candidate for Green Party State Representative on your center column, and YOU are trying to delete evidence of my discussion with a party candidate?


This transaction with the Green Party Candidate is wholly saved to a disc on my computer, and will become the subject of a published and circulated news article. Do you really want to be included in this article as the BIMC member who tried to erase a dialogue with a major alternative political party as it was taking place? Do you feel that having taken a photography trip to Jakarta makes you intellectually qualified to determine the facts of current events by deleting them? It is going to look VERY bad for you when I report your thoroughly apish and ignorant gestapo tactics to the public.

Which prompted more hasty deletions and naturally more relentless reposts.  After approximately five hours of relentless reposts, an anonymous BIMC editor threatened me with frivolous legal action for "illegally" disagreeing with them.  I played along, pretending to be outraged and to reason my case, eliciting more information form the censors, and giving myself opportunity to jab them on their closed membership.

Editor:
Robert Goodwin, Legal measures will be implemented if you don't refrain from threatening members of the BIMC community.
It is wrong and illegal to threaten, intimidate, or harass other people regardless of whether those threats are delivered in person, on the phone, via the mail, or over the Internet. It can be especially harmful to deliver such threats in a public area such as a Web site, chat room, or bulletin board.

FLIPSIDE:
You are lying, Jonathan, and you are claiming anonymity which is cowardly. I didn't threaten you. You are now trying to be a passive aggressive. You cannot catch a rape case against me over posting about the Green Party.

Editor:
Robert, it's not Jonathan and I don't make frivolous threats. I will follow through on legal measures if you don't stop the harrasment of members of our community.

FLIPSIDE:
The deal is, stop censoring me in violation of the terms of this website, make the website NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, or face repeated reposting to the thread in which you betrayed the trust. There is no other deal. You WILL stop censoring me, or I WILL keep reposting my comments.

If you bring a case of harassment against me frivolously, I will countersue. Just stick by your stated guidelines. Under them, I HAVE A RIGHT to post here.

If this is Sofia, you have a record of false accusation of harrassment. I can make this case.  I certainly won't take seriously any comment coming from "editor."

Editor:
This is not a free for all site. We have an editorial policy about what we can hide and delete from this website, and that includes your articles, specially because you are known for disrupting the site. For more information see: [blah blah blah]

FLIPSIDE:
Garbage and dismissed. You hide articles which do not violate the editorial policy. You also are active in organizations which prevent you from being a disinterested party. Including, Zapatistas, Boston Anarchists, and BAAM. You must clearly state that this site is not oppen to user comments, or you must allow comments which do not violate your editorial policy. Pretending to be an abused housewife is not going to alter the fact that people will come here expecting to post.

FLIPSIDE:
I just reread the policy. It says you may hide duplicate posts. There can be no duplicate post if you have banned the original. Sorry.

Editor:
Send me your article again, and I can point out why it violates our policy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Noted here that anything can be construed as a policy violation, per this admission of "Editor."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FLIPSIDE:
Your editorial policy does not say that you may hide posts that you simply disagree with. And since you are a 501 c nonprofit, I can hold you to your editorial policy. You are not a newspaper.

Editor:
We have consensed on hiding the following types of posts: [policy repost blah blah]

2. Any post by an individual known by Indymedia to have consistently acted in a disruptive manner and that the collective has unanimously identified as a sabateur.

No. 2 on the second paragraph applied to you, Flipside.

FLIPSIDE:
I disagree with you. The editorial policy is not open ended. I can not permit you to openly and arbitrarily make ad hoc cases for why to delete legitimate material. I know fully well that you can lie your way into hiding an article. Your ability to interpret vague policy is not in question. What is in question is whether I will obey you and stop posting it. Sofia, YOU have been identified as to have consistently acted in a disruptive manner, and anonymously, and to sabotage the website. It is how you got to be in control of the website. I attended the meetings.
You sabotaged the working relationship of Indymedia group by false accusations of being threatened by Pete Stidman. I merely post an occasional comment which gets hidden because BIMC members have an alternate view of reality.

Editor:
Nice try :) Sofia's not in control of the website... thank goodness for that!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Editor"s identity is being narrowed down.  Possibly Svea Eppler, battered womens' lawyer/student/lesbo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FLIPSIDE:
I am certainly not going to take you seriously since you obviously have no name.

Editor:
Indymedia DOES have an alternative view of reality. We believe in challenging corporate media and YES we are slanted towards social justice. I think you have the wrong idea about our "open newswire" policy. We do not allow right-wing, racists posts here.

FLIPSIDE:
That isn't going to convince me. I am neither right-winger nor a racist. 
I am just a regular poster that is on the Indymedia blacklist because they have a longstanding grudge against free speech.

Editor:
This is a violation of our policy: "Just what the hello kind of American are you? What kind of human? What kind of eco-fascist anti-semite to have David Rolde as your henchman?" You are insulting a member of the general community with accusations that can't be really proven. That is an unethical from a journalistic point of view. LITERALLY, it's called slander and you could be sued for it. 
There's NO WAY we can leave that up on the site, comprende?

FLIPSIDE
No it is not. You are a liar. You routinely center column items with exactly the same kind of content, just against your own enemies. And, mind you you center anonymous material.  I have said nothing on Indymedia that you could sue me for. And you could pony up no lawyer that was not from 45 Mt. Auburn St. or a member of an anarcho-socialist interested party. You on the other hand, center anonymous articles penned by people in Boston with felony and misdemeanor criminal records.

FLIPSIDE
I will not submit to censorship. Have I submitted to censorship ever since the DNC.  See, you guys repost garbage anonymously by David Rolde. I, on the other hand, get the Owen Broadhursts posting to your website. It has always been this way. I bring the Mark Laskeys and the Noah Hurowitzes to your website, because I, unlike you, challenge them.

Editor
Saying "Jonathan, I know where you live" is a direct threat... There's no way around that one. And we've been keeping files like that one on you ever since you started throwing out threats.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have files on their attempt to keep files on me for various imagined transgressions in their hopes of building a case that one of their anarchist law students could bring.  In their dreams.  On a cold day in hell when they are not in court as defendants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FLIPSIDE:
You guys can only circulate unattributed poison pen letters by your friends from JP, Cambridge, and Somerville. Stuff they are afraid to take credit for. I am not afraid. Not of the police, not of the NLG, not of you, not of Michael Andrews. Did I say Jonathan I know where you live? Probably in the context of the giant picture he posted of his living room with a big bong on the table, which I saved a copy of.  Do you think I won't say that Jonathan and his midget brother are potsmoking communists?

Look, I have sat in on Women's Battered Shelter sessions before. I am not afraid of purple triangle fist and hand threats of frivolous lawsuit. Do you know that you can be severely fined for faking assault and battery and pretending to be threatened? Or do you forget that you have to go outside the legal system to interest groups to defend yourself in fake cases? I mean the public can and does know that people operate political harassment and protest groups as non profits and try to squelch discussion by these Scientology tactics.

Editor:
Policy violations in Robert Goodwin Original Posts SEP/29/06.

Repeated false accusation that BIMC has "ties to" or is"friends with" or "overlaps" with the Socialist Alternative, David Rolde, the Green Rainbow Party etc. Using phrases like "Unitarian Communist Homosexual Deval Patrick supporters." Using phrases like "What kind of eco-fascist anti-semite to have David Rolde as your henchman?"

FLIPSIDE:

You don't get it.  You can't make a case that people cannot reference whether a person supports gay rights. You can't censor an opinion. You can't. You people are legally and technologically unable to censor opinion. Every time we have this discussion I re-offer that you stop trying to censor my opnion and I will stop posting a zillion times every time you delete it. You keep declining to take the offer. You can't even CARRY NEWS you do so much censorship.

Editor:

Flipside, you post stuff that violates our editorial policy and it will get deleted no matter how much you whine about it. It's as simple as that. Print it and memorize it.
--------------------------------------------------------
Of course I am printing it.  10,000 people are reading it.
--------------------------------------------------------

FLIPSIDE:
I have stated that I would go to meetings to make my case. You offer an open meeting policy. You offer an open POSTING policy. You don't ADHERE to your policy, but that is hardly my problem. Understand that faking battery will not get you anywhere since you guys have a record of doing that to railroad people, and YOU GUYS have the open policy.

Editor:
You were banned to come to IMC meetings by a unanimous collective decision about 1 YEAR ago, remember?
http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-boston/2005-August/0829-cz.html


FLIPSIDE:
Actually, I was sent an anonymous letter about that, which I do not acknowledge, because not only was it not signed, it took place during personnel warfare and also because I myself was not a party to the letter, having joined Indymedia a month prior. You don't actually have a procedure for ousting people from the collective anonymously when they joined during the open membership period which you duly advertised. After a month of BIMC membership I received this anonymous letter saying I couldn't come to meetings. I was no party to that. You can't have meetings to oust other members.
Either you will allow posting, or you will have to run the site all by yourself, because none of the noobs are going to hold up to a member who wants to say something.  And what the hell's wrong with your posting system?  It's posting out of sequence.

Editor:
It's "busted" because we're having so many problems with spam still. Can't continue talking over a 2nd thread... not polite to people who think our conversation here is utterly boring. Unfortunately, flipside, the collective CAN ban people that they find disruptive. You had been a poster for over a year when that decision was made. And when we posted it, the rest of the wider community supported us in our decision.
-------------------------------------------
Hence my analysis of the wider community.
-------------------------------------------

FLIPSIDE:
I was not notified of the vote. Being a due member of Boston Indymedia Center under the open membership criteria that existed before the big IMC breakup I am entitled to be at any and all meetings which discuss my membership status. And you know, you could reduce the spam on this site if you stopped Cleaves Publishing, Yo, Ibis, and Budgie sock puppets from running your otherpress. Or if you took my advice five months ago and put up spam control. I notified you of your spammers.

Editor:
yes, and we thought you were the spammer (which you still are, once in a while... like today). we're trying to implement further captchas to control that. I think the feds are spamming all indy sites.

FLIPSIDE:
You're paranoid. I only look like spam because I am forced to repost my comments.


I hope the feds are spamming all indy sites.  Just a brief analysis of the BIMC editorial staff shows two anarchists, two socialists, one Zapatista, and an MIT technician operating a bogus news service whose editorial policy was mandated by the Northeast Federation of Anarchist Communists who house the BIMC meetings at the Lucy Parson's Center / Red Book Store which is operated rent free in a section of town with expensive property values for a bunch of young douchebags who are ten times more totalitarian than anyone within a ten block radius.  But more importantly, the feds should spam their site because they post anonymous articles penned by avowed members of Hezbollah, EZLN, CISPES, and other various latin or muslim terrorist groups. 

Even more importantly, they should be censored because they do not believe in free speech.  Does that make sense?  Probably not, but my explanation is this:  Their form of speech is contingent upon maintaining a hostile and anonymous environment free from dissent, because they have crowned themselves the official dissenters, and made everyone else to be the reactionary, counter-revolutionary fascist enemy.  The way that they should be censored is by persons aggressively pursuing their individual - and not collective - right to free speech, disrupting consensus, and shattering the solidarity of hive minds.  They must be challenged openly, relentlessly, humorously, and fearlessly. 

Especially when someone they protect turns around and stabs them in the back.  Such was the case on October 9 when BIMC Jonathan McIntosh's shielding of David Rolde blew up in his face.  At 3 AM, vandals from the Brookline High School went down to the North End to "celebrate" Columbus Day (observed) by pouring red paint all over the marble Columbus statue which had been donated by members of the North End Italian community.  They immediately published this act on Indymedia, and Jonathan McIntosh went down to photograph it later that morning so that the story could me moved to their center column.  He made a loud protest at BIMC that -- attention everybody -- they are reporting after the fact.  Meanwhile the Brookline High School group, overseen by Emily McLaughlin, Boston Anarchist cell members Tom McManus of Brookline, Noah Hurowitz from Arlington MA and BIMC member Eric Ginsburg from Wellsley MA mobilized their team of protesters to wave signs and bang things in front of Brookline Walgreens.  Jonathan McIntosh and Sofia Jarrin-Thomas were to meet there next and "document" the protest for another center column feature.

Unfortunately, other members of the Boston Anarchist (BA) cell had other plans.  While the Brookline High contingent were a bunch nof 18 year olds, and the BIMC a bunch of 20-somethings, the 36 pushing 40 year olds were about to come on the scene.  BA member David Rolde showed up with his fat ass and burqa and some hamfisted signage about Israel sucking and heckled the young students, hijacking their cause for an anti-Israel protest and forcing them to go on the march to get away from him.  When the story was woven for BIMC, there was great outpouring of outrage.  David Rolde, officer of the MA Green Party wrote in under the pseudonym Antifa to gloat over his hijacking of the protest.  This provoked the finger wagging of a "Jonathan" who then proceded to call him out as being "infamous [...] unaccountable to the activist community [...] having no idea the meaning of the word solidarity" and generally having broken the ruled of engagement of protesting.  This was the same charge levied against Officer Phil Tarpey by Arise Action, and which confirms my thesis about the highly contingent nature free speech in a socialist environment.  Because of this I made it a point at some future date to tell Jonathan to his face that he has no conception of free speech.  Granted, was at first some ambiguity as to which "Jonathan" was speaking, as there is a Jonathan McIntosh at BIMC who covers events in which he actively participates and does not use the word "myself" or clarify the last name as is customary in straight journalism.  It was Rolde who announced that Jonathan and Sofia were the party now manufacturing consent in the conversation.

Before mass deletions I managed to get a jab into the conversation.  I said, "And Indymedia, good one. Good job sticking up for this douchebag and trying to hide his identity for 16 hours last week. Now he fucks up one of your pretend news stories / high school recruitment sessions and it's whining about backstabbing. You guys kiss mad ass. Mad mad fucking ass. Kiss his ass more. Reconciliate. Maybe he won't dress in a burqa at your solidarity circle jerks."  My comments arrived in the middle of back and forth demands for apology.  While they were fluffing, I added, "David Rolde watched the anarchist listservs and read Tom McManus' announcement that the protest was to take place, THEN HE CAME AND CRASHED IT. And BIMC was protecting his articles here the whole time. Then he bit them on the ass."  A livid Noah Hurowitz chimed in, accusing David Rolde of spewing, and being unbelievable.


Seva Brodsky

Finally, Seva Brodsky a zionist hasbara agent provocateur posted idiot pictures of David Rolde in full regalia.  In more ass covering, Jonathan tried to make a point that he hates Israel too, but was only taking issue with Rolde's time and place.  Rolde accused them of this ass covering.  I added: "Don't talk about Jonathan and Sofia's asses. They might sue you for sexual harassment. The word ass is sexual in nature. Don't give the NLG a chance to pounce on you. Don't give Michael Andrews a chance to consult his law books. Don't give in to rape culture."  Michael Andrews is a communist lawyer and member of Boston Anarchist's siamese sister cell BAAM, part of their frivolous lawsuit supreme team.

Another anonymous BIMC user wrote: "With David Rolde being an offspring of two psychiatrists with Harvard and McGill pedigrees (specializing in child psychology, to boot), he is a walking malpractice case for his parents medical practices in Weston, MA, a wealthy Boston suburb. With mommy and daddy's mansion and them picking up his bills, his sole occupation seems to run around Boston to look for any Jewish events. Note that both, his kefyah (the blankie?) and the Palestinian flag could use a good wash."  The same can be said of his partner from NECDP Pete Lowney.  It is important to note again that the Rolde and Lowney team splintered the BA cell a few months back and drove Gulf War Veteran Sholom Keller out of the group with all their pro-Saddam, pro-Hezbollah sieg heiling.

Thus was BIMC drawn into a debacle involving anonymous people they shield, including terrorist activists within Green Party .

<<<FLASHBACK>>> Here is a good place to include the carbon copy letter I received from the I-Don't-Know-What in charge of Arise Action:

Subject     :     A message we didn't post but are very curious about
Date     :     Mon, Oct 02, 2006 07:01 AM

Hey, Flipside, I am not going to post your message, and I'll tell you why-- I don't really want AriseAction to become a battleground for Boston sectarian interests.  I am CCing this msg. to David Rolde, also, so he will see your msg.

FYI, Arise is a low-income rights organization; AriseAction is the listserve we set up five years ago, which has taken on a character of its own.  It might be hard to tell much about Arise from the postings on AriseAction!  I don't know if you'd like Arise much-- you should check out our very out-of-date website at ariseforsocialjustice.org.

Re Officer Tarpey-- if you want to check our archives, you will see that Tarpey does not deny doing what he was accused of doing, and that it wasn't
the first time but the third that he used info on our website to undermine activists' work-- my first clue was when we had a picket of the local welfare office planned and he called the welfare director to let he know we were coming-- not fatal, but we did lose the element of surprise.

We have tried to deal with Officer Tarpey directly and respectfully about the issues that his membership on out list have brought up.  I admit I'm concerned about the thought that Indymedia found out about what happened from David himself-- is that true, David?-- because it has left us a mess that we have to clean up and I'm not happy about it, because I barely have enough time as it is to organize/participate in our activities.  We run a food pantry, vigil weekly against the war, organize homeless people, try to stop construction of new jails, have a voting rights lawsuit against the city, etc.

Again, FYI, we have no problem with David's membership in various groups (I think you included them in your posts as stating something unpleasant about David) but we do have Jewish members who feel that David is anti-semitic, not just anti-zionist, and we are working to figure out how to address this.

The purpose of AriseAction is to promote organizing and information-sharing among western Mass. residents.  Your post has helped the list moderators to think about doing a real list analysis, to restore the list closer to its original intentions.  We'll see how this develops.

When I received that letter it verfied that it was not others unknown from Arise that had backchannelled to BIMC, but specifically the Green Party officers.  During what was the only uncensored portion of the discussion with BIMC and the Greens (because I used the pseudonym "lark") we have this exchange:

LARK: 
Officer Tarpey joined the Arise Listserv under no false pretenses. The reason his list membership is being questioned is because Michaelann Bewsee and Holly Richardson took offense to the fact that this list member informed the target (Department of Transitional Assistance) of an Arise picket that would be targetting them.


It is wholly inappropriate that members of the Indymedia are allowing a hate and smear campaign to take place against this honest and forthright public servant who has disclosed in advance the nature of his participation Arise Listserv.

Somehow, a user with a vested interest in waging this smear campaign believes he is standing up for Pete L. and David Rolde have made a huge issue of this in the Arise list because of Pete's arrest at the Israeli Protest. Indymedia is unwise to allow Pete and David to repost this disinfomation here. They have crossposted it to several anarchist listservs, and have left intact that Indymedia is running the story. Since Indymedia has centered the story, and knows these people, they can be held responsible for any false or misleading information printed here. Also, it is just bad journalism.

If anyone doubts that Pete and David are not responsible for anonymously crossposting their campaigns here and in the Arise Listserve, they can visit this link.  [Arise]

YO: (BIMC)
An infiltration of activist groups by police officers, whether open or undisclosed, is a clear violation of First Amendment Rights. In the very least it's an a threating act towards those who participate in the group and it's a well-known tactic from the FBI dating back to the 60s--although mostly done undercover.


If Phil Tarpey used evidence against one of the group members obtained during his "participation" in the above group, it amounts to spying on them.

The targeting of peace groups in California prompted the ACLU to file Freedom of Information Act requests. From their website: "The California Constitution prohibits this kind of infiltration without some specific suspicion of criminal activity. Even if local law enforcement officers are acting under the direction of the FBI or other federal authorities, they are still bound by the privacy guarantees embodied in this state's constitution."

I'm sure the Mass. constitution contains similar privacy guarantees, of course unless, our beautiful Patriot Act obliterates such basic rights like the right to (safe) assembly.

LARK:
Actually, it is not a violation of First Amendment Rights. If you took the time to visit the Arise listserv you would see that Tarpey is a member of Arise and that no one in the group is claiming that their rights to associate were violated. If anything, Tarpey has the right to notify victims of a protest because he is not only a member of Arise but a keeper of the peace.


He cannot be accused of spying if he used evidence against a member. If there was evidence there was misbehavior. You are trying to argue use of the First Amendment to protect criminal activity.

Your frail grasp of Cointelpro notwithstanding, the ACLU is not a government organization, it is an interest group. The findings of interest groups do not have legal force. But even if you were to demand that there be suspicion of criminal activity, there are at least two members of arise who meet that level of suspicion, including "infiltrators" from socialist groups. Arise is from Springfield Massachusetts, by the way, and not California.

If you support democracy and openness as you claim you do, you would not make so much of an issue out of standard disagreements arising from free association.

My solid refurbishment of Officer Tarpey's arguments once again drew out the Green Party State's Rep candidate again, who was obviously trying to make the most of his ambiguous membership / nonmembership in Arise.  Read, and enjoy his personality profile as you do.

Owen Broadhurst:

Friends,

Given how no CD [civil disobedience] was discussed, or planned, in the bulletin I did forward - and how no public safety concerns arise from electronic or written petitioning of public officials, as is the clear right of all citizens - I must take issue with Officer Tarpey's arguments.

The mere suggestion that any given citizen's exercise of his or her Goddess given right to petition public servants, Selectmen and/ or District Attorneys for the redress of a grievance somehow presents a public safety concern speaks volumes, I believe.

To furthermore suggest that such a petition might "adversely affect" any legitimate function of the government also speaks volumes, I believe, about what one believes the legitimate function of government to be. To profess that it might "adversely affect" a "court procedure" convened only via false arrest and/ or prosecutorial misconduct speaks volumes about what one believes the legitimate function of our criminal injustice system to be.

Therefore, yes, Officer Tarpey did indeed form an opinion. In his opinion, the legitimate petitioning of public servants and public officials presents a public safety concern.

Therefore, yes, Officer Tarpey did indeed make a suggestion. He suggested, by the mere forwarding of my post, that it somehow mystically presented a public safety concern.

How fairly and openly was I treated, or Pete treated? Officer Tarpey never once communicated any concerns to me. Perhaps he realized then, as he surely must now, that his views over what might or might not present a public safety concern are views informed by his politics.

I must say that there were many public safety concern indeed related to what I did to that list convey, but such concerns did not arise either Pete's activities or my own. I say there was and is a public safety concern over prosecutorial misconduct and prosecutorial powers unchecked. I say there was and is a public safety concern regarding erosions of the rights to petition and express dissent. I say there was and is a public safety concern over subjecting activists operating well within the law to false arrest, false imprisonment and malicious prosecution. And I believe there now to be many public safety concerns vis-a-vis CID.

Let me furthermore point out, in reply to misinformation recently posted to this Boston IMC forum, that it was I, not Mr. Rolde, who made a "big deal" out of this on the list noted. Mr. Rolde only but informed list subscribers how the bulletin I posted was being employed, and by whom. Let me make this also clear, contrary to false claims recently made on this forum: that Officer Tarpey was in no way, shape or form expelled from the list for his communications with the Department for Transitional Assistance, but was expelled at my own request only for this latest controversy. He had, in essence, identified yours truly, Pete and nearly all concerned with Pete's welfare to be somehow presenting "public safety" concerns relating to possible criminal or terrorist activity. That is way out of line.

Sincerely yours,

Owen R. Broadhurst

So here, stands your humble author, way out of the line drawn in red crayon by the State's Rep of the Green Party.  And around this line I drew another one:

FLIPSIDE (no longer as lark):

David Rolde and BIMC editor Sofia Jarrin-Thomas are Both in BOSTON PROGRESS with Danny DiMaggio, Patrick Ayers, and Keith Rosenthal. Michael Borucke who just joined BIMC is in Green Rainbows with David Rolde. I have exposed the overlap of the local BIMC with the Green Party and the Socialist Party operating out of Harvard University. This is a conflict of interest. Sofia posted this to the center column through BIMC back-channel involvement with political groups and is NOT DOING NEWS. I am forwarding this information across the internet, as well as the information that Owen Broadhurst who is trying to run for State Representative has a goon squad from the Socialist Party.

Jake Carman
David Duhalde
Kaveri Rajaraman


<<FLASH FORWARD>> to Tuesday, October 17th., a week after the October 10th ratfucking session where Jonathan McIntosh and his ungrateful pet David Rolde had their lover's quarrel over Columbus vs Judea.  A can of fart spray in my pocket, I am off to 45 Mt. Auburn St. to sit in on the communist circle jerk being thrown by Harvard student Michael Gould-Wartofsky who I determined as being the true name for Boston Anarchist cell member "Shadowboxer" only after reading approximately 200 of his communiques to every idiotic political group he could join.

This meeting, one of many, all in fact which, are held at 45 Mt Auburn St. Cambridge MA on the backside of Harvard Campus was held by the Unspoken Thing Collective which is really Michael GW and his hand picked assortment of campus communists.  There were approximately 45 people in attendance, so I did not use the fart spray because of group safety concerns, and because people kept coming in, many of which I recognized and wanted to get more information on, and because I forgot tape to keep the sprayer on.  I was able to level off a few stinky opinions instead, and this proved to be more amusing.

The event was a pan socialist networking event against capitalism.  The panel was: Chimaobi Amutah, Editor of Cambridge Common, David Duhalde, Young Democratic Socialists, Kelly Lee, anarchist activist, author & artist, Jake Carman, Industrial Workers of the World & BAAM, Kaveri Rajaraman, Boston May Day Coalition.  In attendance were also a relative of Noah Hurowitz, Operation Over, a communist Harvard professor, NEFAC, Josh Koritz of BAAM, and Danny DiMaggio. 

The panel discussion was pointless.  Chimaobi 's speech was "I am Chimaobi, I am black, I run a Harvard webpage."  Kelly Lee's speech was a very long monotone "Look at me I am brown, I am a dyke, I have a vagina, nobody likes me, blah blah Maya Angelou."  Jake Carman's speech was "Capitalism sucks, join the Industrial Workers of the World, it was great in 1917."  "David Duhalde's speech was I am the local chairman of the Young Democratic Socialists, I am half jewish, my parents fled here from Latin America, Socialism is great except we have a reputation for genocide. We should really fix that."  And Kaveri Rajaraman's speech was "Look at me, I have brown skin, you have white skin, that makes you bad.  I eat pussy and am better for it.  The world is an unfair place.  Don't buy Poland Spring water because the markup on water is unfair since they take water out of the ground."

People were falling asleep.  When the panel stopped droning on, half of the people left, and the other half made a circle so they could start jerking.  But before the jerkfest, it is important to note that BAAM Boston Anarchists Against Militarism aka Boston Anti-Authoritaran Movement had a display table made of duct tape.  It was staffed by Josh Koritz, a local geek protege of Jane Sullivan and George Bryant who suck at life out of the Revolution Bookstore which is a front for the Communist Party USA.  Josh Koritz is in Socialist Alternative.  He was sending pen click messages back and forth to Danny DiMaggio, also of Socialist Alternative.  Panelist Kaveri Rajaraman is also from Socialist Alternative.  So it was that the allegedly non-denominational anti-capitalist panel discussion was dominated by Socialist Alternative, IWW, NEFAC, and the usual people claiming to be Zapatistas, with a Septagenarian Harvard professor running interference for the Harvard based groups, and -- surprise, surprise -- BIMC Jonathan McIntosh "documenting" slash participating.

When the circle started jerking there were the customary introductions and the apologies for being white.  Haters Magazine was the only one to elicit the response "what?! magazine?" so I had to repeat my introduction.  I stayed at the discussion for about an hour, during which several questions were raised.  I was pleased to shut down McIntosh, whose idea that we should get rid of capitalism and replace it with consensus trading (communism) met with laughter when I said I would not want to call a vote every time I ordered the Burger King 99 c Whopper.  This is in fact how BIMC makes it's food decisions. The old professor got a little hot under the collar when I said that Stalinism and socialism are constructively identical.  I can only imagine the "correcting" he does in class. 

A clever black dude asked what socialists intend to do with the majority of people who have no interest in socialism.  A really doofusy looking white kid with a pile of fluffy hair brainily assured the room that no one is against socialism, because socialism is what the people want.  This gave me a vibe of Everybody Loves Raymond meets 80's Reggae, and it didn't come off.

One kid ranted and raved for a few about how in capitalism every transaction is a ripoff because it includes self interest.  Another very short kid said he was tired of discussion and wanted to do something (ostensibly violent or damaging to property).  The last burning question was "Name a socialist society that lasted a long time."  Some 19 year old girl said "There is a community of people trying to do this thing in San Francisco,"  so I knew it was my cue to leave.  In parting, I lobbed Jake Carman's idea of noble savagery back at him, saying that yes, in fact a successful civilization was arranged on that principle.  It was The Mongols under Genghis Khan and they could not produce anything for themselves, which led them to maraud, rape, steal, murder, and pillage, and there is socialism at it's best.  Fart spray be damned.

Predictably, BIMC never did write up the meeting and whirl it into a major success story for their front page.  Jonathan McIntosh went on to become Michael GW and Kelly Lee's personal photographer, following them around on their Zapatista adventures around Boston, being wannabe Mexicans and male lesbians, and shouting things at the Park Plaza Hotel.  Getting themselves thrown out of buildings, anonymously writing big sob stories about police injustices they experienced while being asked to stop trespassing into buildings and ruining the free speech of others, and taking stong stands like "I believe in free speech but not yours you are from the WTO" which is essentially the motto of Indymedia, its Tupperware drum beat, and its origin.

The two posts I have been running which are not popular at BIMC these past two weeks are:

FLIPSIDE:

Dressing up as Ronald McDonald is the sign of a severe personality disorder:

"The personal pathway model suggests that terrorists came from a selected at risk population who have suffered from early damage to their self esteem. Their subsequent political activities may be consistent with the liberal social philosophies of their families."
--Who Becomes a Terrorist and Why

For example, Michael Gould-Wartofsky's mother Carol Gould is a Marxist-Feminist professor at George Mason University, and his father Marx Wartofsky was a philosopher at Baruch College. For this reason he is unable to behave himself in public and is doomed to act out as a disenchanted marxist-lesbian intellectual Jewish youth with a terrible last name and a desire to be a Zapatista Rebel.

Indymedia Journalist Killed While Trying to Destabilize Mexico
by Flipside

Indymedia member Brad Will was killed while trying to destabilize Mexico. Now IMC is engaging in a racist smear campaign against Mexican national, Pedro Carmona, who was only defending his country.

Industrial Workers of the World and Jake Carman are working closely with BIMC in the effort to cover up criticism of Indymedia's involvement in the Mexican Insurrection and to perform retaliatory acts of symbolic outrage.

Mike Gould Wartofsky of Harvard, associate of Boston Indymedia Censor's Jonathan McIntosh informed Jake Carman that Brad Will was his "comrade." Two weeks before, Wartofsky was disturbing the peace outside of the Mexican Consolate in Boston, and Wartofsky, McIntosh, and Carman met to do Young People's Socialist League and Zapatista networking at 45 Mt. Auburn Street under the name "Unspoken Thing Collective."

IMC is quickly casting their blunder as an international conspiracy. IMC member Reclaim the Commons is claiming that Mexico killed the Indymedia 'journalist' as a pretext to kill other Zapatistas. They are calling it an assassination and are planning attacks on Mexican Consolates across the United States. They are being assisted by Eric Ginsburg of Boston Indymedia Center.

The local EZLN is:

William Budington
Micah Lee
Nell Schaefer
Michael Gould-Wartofsky
Alex Telaraña
Sofia Jarrin-Thomas (BIMC)
Laura Colon-Melendez


It never ends.  But I did get to add another fine BIMC letter to my pile:

DISCLAIMER:

First of all, everything I said in this article is true.  I exaggerated only on BIMC's burger buying methods, of which I have no clue.  I don't particularly care about Palestinians or Israelis.  Let 'em kill each other.  Archbishop Desmond Tutu told me they are running an apartheid regime in Israel, and I take his word for it.  In case no one knew, he's an expert on apartheid.  Norman Finkelstein writes that Israel is just macking the Holocaust in order to get money and kill their neighbors.  I have seen infomercials for it.  I commemorated Rachel Corrie in the song "Intensity" on my album The People of Paradise.  I believe she genuinely thought that an Israeli bulldozer operator has a conscience and wouldn't kill Americans, especially a girl.  It was an admittedly stupid assumption.  I do not extend my sympathy to every other one time member of ISM, including Pete Lowney.  Fuck him.  He's a jackass.  I am not particularly interested in the
Massachusetts State Police's "Fusion Center," officer Phil Tarpey, the good intentions of the Lexington Police force, or their leaky barrel of human intelligence.  I do think the Green Party sucks ass.  I am not angry because BIMC rebuffed my membership.  I "joined" BIMC as an insult to them because of their closed/open policy conflict.  I do believe that the agencies cringing behind BIMC are criminal douchebags and none of them true rap fans.  Now you know my true feelings.
