[edit]
  • How User:Ruy Lopez found Laird Wilcox Report.[2]
    • "Google shows the words "magdoff", "kant" and "venona" appear on exactly four web pages ("hiss", "ales" and "venona" appear on over 700). One of these pages is Nobs01's Wikipedia entry, so it's really three entries. One is from a white supremacist site, which seems to be quoting from another source. One is from some far-right red-under-every-bed author, who basically accuses pretty much every known figure on the left, whether communist or not, of being a Soviet spy - Alger Hiss, Harry Magdoff, Harry Dexter White, even IF Stone for God's sake. The other is a memo referring to the original Venona message"
      • "far-right red-under-every-bed author", i.e. John Earl Haynes, Library of Congress Manuscripts Division [3]

      • "This overly close and often covert relationship with law enforcement limits criticism by some human relations groups of institutionalized forms of prejudice, discrimination, and oppression.

Personal attacks, accusations and innunendo

[edit]

I believe both these issues need to discussed [116] [117]. The first user whom Cberlet last solicited here [118] (among 8 others) is identified as the banned sockpuppet vandal [119] who inserted information from the neo-nazi IHR site [120], and refered to me as xenophobic (here's another solicitation from Cberlet's to him [121]). The second user readily admits to a POV because of his lack of understanding of the "actual content issues - which I can't really do, because of my lack of familiarity". Both users in both postings encourage Cberlet to initiate RfM with RfArb as the real objective.

For the record, the me just state, I believe Mr.Bauder misread the inference to Kiko Martinez on the Talk:Chip Berlet page [122], its full excision on this Talk page [123], and the original source [124]. This misreading is stated as such [125][126][127]. I accredit this misreading of the connection between Kiko Martinez and the National Lawyers Guild to a failure to understand the sources, content, or dispute before making the premature decisions you made affecting this case [128][129][130].
