Regarding the above, I think you will find the key words are in bold: "Personally, I think, considering all of the information that I have available, DI is more than likely a set up, a honey pot, a gate keeper. The above link provides loads of circumstantial evidence for this".
G'day Wake Up Bomb.
Did you read the information at the link that I provided ?
There is a LOT more than circumstantial evidence provided.
Facts:
David Icke and the Rockefeller connection
In 2007 David Icke’s Freedom Foundation received a total of $112,090
ihcenter.org/07-990/07-990-16.html in donations
The International Humanities Center is a nonprofit public charity exempt from federal income tax under Section 501[c](3) of the Internal Revenue Code. [which is connected to the Rockefeller Foundation]

Gareth Icke's connection to General Electric
Gareth Icke's recording contract is with Icon Records, which is traced back to General Electric ...
Icon Records
Parent company Universal Music Group
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icon_Records
Universal Music Group (UMG) is the largest business group and family of record labels in the recording industry. With a 25.5% market share, it is one of the Big Four record labels. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vivendi; Universal Studios, the movie studio, was sold in part to NBC, which itself is part of GE.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Music_Canad
The victory comes after three days of occupation which has made students across the campus aware of the £209, 000 worth of shares which, until yesterday, Cardiff University held in the arms trade. This included BAE Systems and General Electric who supplied Israel with weapons used in the recent attacks on Gaza.
jewssansfrontieres.blogspot.com/2009/03/wel
DAPA officials confirmed that GE was paying the program manager, Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Oh Sang-seop. The payments began after GE won a $440-million contract to supply 88 F110-GE-129 engines for 40 twin-engine F-15Ks in 2002, beating out Pratt & Whitney (P&W) with its F100 model, they said.
GE has been giving the manager $5,800 per month under a five-year contract, they said.
The payments are illegal as South Korean laws ban government officials from being paid by foreign governments or contractors. Such a deal would also cause ethical problems as the program manager is required to oversee fulfillment of the contract by GE, such as the production of engines, quality and deliveries.

Daisy-gate I
mportant: David Icke Tries To Shut Down Conspiracy Forum.
Posted 29 March 2008 - 10:50 AM
Hi
May I introduce myself, I am a member of the "Illusions Forum" (
illusions-forum.com/phpbb3/). I am writing to you to inform you of the recent events surrounding David Icke's attempts to have our forum shut down and removed from the internet. Please find attached a PDF file containing a copy of the letter forwarded to our server provider from "David Icke Books Ltd", insisting that our forum to be terminated.
"Illusions" is an alternative forum much like your own, where we talk about conspiracy-based themes and ideas, alternative health, spirituality, etc. It was formed by a group of people who found their original "home" -
www.davidickeforum.com - shut down several years ago with no warning. We moved to "Illusions" with the desire to carry on speaking our minds on numerous subjects, and of course these concerned the life and work of one of the most prolific conspiracy researchers - David Icke.
Mr. Icke has been making demands on our membership to stop discussing his weekly newsletter by reproducing elements of this work on our forum, in order to critique it. We received almost weekly warnings from the webmaster (Sean Adl-Tabatabai) of Icke's site (
www.davidicke.com), informing us that if we did not stop reproducing paragraphs from Icke's copyrighted newsletter (which he now charges £3.00 per month to be delivered weekly via email), that legal action would be taken. Of course, we had no intention of having our growing dismay of Icke's recent behaviour in policing the internet for minor reproductions of his work curtailed in this manner, but we took the right decision to remove as much of his material as we deemed relevant, whilst trying to keep the numerous debates intact. It is prudent to convey that Mr. Icke and "David Icke Books Limited" take their copyright very seriously indeed.
Recently we were shocked and surprised to find Icke's webmaster - Sean Adl-Tabatabai - had rejoined our community (his original account was deleted because of his desire to no longer post at "Illusions"), under the psudeonym of "daisy" (
illusions-forum.com/phpbb3/viewt ... f=8&t=4426). As this character he attempted to disrupt every thread on our forum which was written voicing concerns, or critiquing the information promoted by David Icke (we were writing about his broadcast interviews, newsletter and website information). The comments Mr. Adl-Tabatabai made were childish in nature, baring no relevance to the debates themselves. This behaviour is known as "trolling" a forum. Sean Adl-Tabatabai, David Icke's webmaster and producer of his DVD ouptut, had taken it upon himself to become a "troll" on our forum for David Icke.
When Mr. Adl-Tabatabai was openly confronted with his behavior, he denied it at first, and then admitted to his comments and seemingly disappeared from our lives for good. Two days later we received the attached fax from our server provider outlining the opinion of one Linda Atherton (formerly Linda Icke, David Icke's erstwhile wife), on behalf of David Icke and "David Icke Books Limited", that our fourm should be: "shut down because we are considering legal action".
We have become obviously outraged by this demand, and the hypocrisy that Mr, Icke and his colleagues have displayed in this matter beggers belief. How could a man who has travelled the world speaking as a champion for the freedom of speech, has written so many books promoting the open mind and appreciation for all creeds and openly states that "I don't care what your opinion of me is, mate", now insist that a forum with less than 300 members (at the time of writing) should be bulldozed into oblivion just because we openly disagree with much of what David Icke has written and said these past three years (
illusions-forum.com/phpbb3/viewt ... f=8&t=4468)?
We bring this information to your attention to acknowledge, ignore or dismiss as you choose. We are not seeking allies to join us in any crusade, we only want people to be aware that the self-titled "most controversial speaker in the world" is trying to shut us down for speaking our minds.
If he succeeds, what a sad day that will be for all of us within this community.
Many thanks for your time and please pass this information on to as many people as possible.

Daisy-gate II - a.k.a. PM-gate
Below is the text of a screen shot of part of the mod's discussion about the reading of PM's incident.

As you are so technically savvy, surely you realise that ALL PM's are readable via MYSQL?
And IF i ever decided to have this feature as a permanent feature on the site, that would be MY decision to make. If i feel anybody is abusing the system, i have every right to use my options available to me to find them out.
As it stands, this feature isn't a permanent one on the site, and will never be used.
You've been removed as moderator.
(I'm forwarding this response onto Dusan)
i think it's time we all breathed a little.
Having the ability to read private messages and actually reading them are two very different principles. I think we were all aware that the ability was there, as many savvy members i am sure are aware - but again, utilising the ability is the key here. Having a gun and using a gun are two wholy different concepts.
Surely having the feature rallies against what David stands for? Using the feature most definately does.
Sean you said that we stand for everything David stands for, and on the David Icke forum I feel that such is a worthy stance, and a rightfull one. It should be no other way.
However I do not feel that David would sanction such measures. And indeed would be as appauled as are we all.
The PDF files show a correlation between data that suggest very strongly that privacy has been breeched toward an end - are you saying the data correlation is wrong, Sean?
It is time for us to unite in strength, Sean not divide through ego, I hope sincerely that we are able to do the former in order to grow.
Tsume is obviously finding this hard, as I am sure are well all, this is not easy for anyone, discovering something that rocks us never is, and it is good that you have taken that on board Sean, it shows your spirit and your spirit is good.

Lee, the fact is that this "exposure" by Dusan has been done in order to stir trouble and create bad feeling.
To suggest this feature has been there for a long time is totally wrong. I'm sure he's been watching every day for something like this to occur, and since now it has, he's decided to post his findings in the most dramatic way possible.
Not once did he ask me about it.
The fact remains that Gilly was found to be breaking the moderation guidelines, and i thought this to be a good tool to use in verifying that. It's absolutely my job to do so on here, and i stand by it.
I've had the discussion with another member of the team as to whether we should keep it as a permanent feature, and it was decided that no we shouldn't.
What dusan has done here, is use a hack/exploit in the forum to spy on me doing my job as webmaster. He has completely undermined what i'm doing here, and has insulted my integrity to the point where he is no longer welcome back on the team.
I find this behavior despicable, and i can only imagine that there have been whispering campaigns going on in the background.
Like i said earlier, if anybody else thinks what Dusan has done today is in any way appropriate they can leave. There are far better ways of dealing with things like that, than accusing people of a whole load of rubbish.

Listen Sean, mate...for the sake of Truth and for what David Icke stand's for, can we call back Alison, Gilly, Dusan and everyone else, so we can have a "clear the air" talks and get on with doing what we're here to do...PLEASE!?
Again, imho, we're all to blame for allowing this situation to get this far, including me...I wish now, I had pushed you to have that "clear the air" chat, many others were requesting a few weeks/months ago...absolutely certain we'd not have been where we are now...a bloody shame, it is...!!
Anyway, Sean...please, I urge that you, in the strongest possible terms, to re-consider you decision and re-call those lovely people...please!?
I'm more than happy to "chair" a "clear the air" debate/discussion/talk..otherwise, why not simply get David to help sort this situation out...know it's abit OTT to do so but, I can honestly see the potential perils ahead...know what I mean?
Cheers

i hope i don't have to go
i have absolutely no wish to further the division in this team or see the dissemination of a brilliant and workable team-unit any further, but in Gilly thread you yourself said that that you chose to speak to some FA’s and not others.
Yes I agree that you will run the site as you see fit, in David’s stead, as has been accepted - running the site with select advisors instead of consensus has lead us here to this place
But i stand by the things i have said, my worst fear is now being realised, that a split is occurring and i hope we can survive it as a team, and be stronger and more open because of it.
i have enjoyed being a part of the team and i hope we can continue, it has been an honour to work alongside a great group of people.
However we need truth and unity as a backbone, our very moralistic nature of the site depends on that sole premise.
In harmony we are a great team, but in discord we are surely lost to the negativity we attempt to deal with. There have been a lot of views expressed in this thread, and it is good, it allows us to learn and grown and further our understanding.
Like David has said, and like tsume has recalled, ‘Life's greatest lesson are often disguised as our worse nightmares.’

Hi guys,
It's new years eve. I suggest (for those in the UK at least) that we enjoy ourselves tonight. I won't be on, so won't be able to respond to this for the time being.
Let's put aside our differences for now, and just enjoy seeing the new year in. I'll be back on and can talk further when emotions have died down a bit.
Happy new year all!

I can't hide the fact that i'm both upset and angry at the way this has been dealt with. But there you go.
Happy new year all!
You're a good man Sean...!!
Truth, Love and Peace & a Happy New Year to you, mate, I know you will make the RIGHT decision...!!
Cheers
Ps, ...finally, I can now go and meditate, thankyou...love you all...!!

sorry to say this, but please- fuck the 'love-shmove' for now. this needs to be discussed because it is a serious matter, and now dusan has been kicked as well.

is this what you do all the time? kick people out just because they debate all your points and stand up to you?
no one has raised the bloody point: if the pm.php module was, like you keep insisting, brought in to keep track of spammers only, why were you caught snooping around gilly's inbox on the said date, checking out a pm whose ID has been specified in the pdf?
that is the question that needs answering. why were you in gilly's inbox? she is not a spammer is she? let's pretend we are living in utopia and take for granted that you only use the function to keep a check on spammers; if that is the case, why do you think we can trust you, when certain moves by you as a webmaster can themselves be deemed questionable?
and if this has happened to in gilly's case, we still do not know how many other people have had their inboxes snooped into. so what was actually needed here was an explanation.
therefore, the questions being posed by all of us are:
1. why did you use the pm.php module to read gilly's (not a spammer's) pms?
2. what, in your opinion, constitutes fairness when her ouster was decided by only you and greg- which is a minority in the FA team? how can you expect people to make sound judgments with regards to moderation when you yourself, as a webmaster, are clearly biased and prejudiced towards people in your own team?
3. why do you send pms to those who question you, or ask you for an explanation? are you unable to spell it out in the main thread?
4. why were winnie, nessa, and gilly removed in spite of the fact that there was, and is, no evidence whatsoever to back up the claim that they weren't efficient moderators?
since i am going out as well, i hope to see a balanced explanation for this soon.
if your opinions and moves here are not debatable at all, then i am sorry to say- that makes you a nazi, which is what you yourself have been advising us not to take to while managing the forum threads.
toodles,
pf.

Pink,
I've said what i needed to say. This isn't open to discussion. I'm here to do my job as i see fit, if you want to leave then just say. My recent actions are due to information i saw as reliable, and i did what i thought necessary in the interests of the forum.
You have no say in the matter unfortunately. And you have made your position perfectly clear.
I'm off for the evening now. Happy new year all!
Sean

Sean, can you clarify something for me? In your initial post you said
Quote:
NO. I do not read pm's ever
Quote:
it has never been used, and i'm appalled that you think so lowly of me
Quote:
The fact remains that Gilly was found to be breaking the moderation guidelines, and i thought this to be a good tool to use in verifying that. It's absolutely my job to do so on here, and i stand by it.
Quote:
But as there was a fairly serious accusation at Gilly being brought to my attention, and as we've had a lot of problems recently with spammers, i thought this plugin could be of use.
Sean you've gone from saying "I do not read pm's ever" to admitting that you have read PMs (even if it is justified by some fucked up logic). Can you explain this contradiction please ?
One of the PMs you read (admincp/pm.php?userid=24856&folderid=0&pmid=382277 ) was a conversation between Gilly and myself on Dec 23rd. Nothing juicy to find in that one as you know but the point is by snooping in the PM inboxes of 2 mods (that I know of) you have also read other peoples private conversations by proxy (including mine). Do you see the problem here? The knock on effect that you have created? How many peoples privacy have you invaded in this little endeavour?
Quote:
What dusan has done here, is use a hack/exploit in the forum to spy on me doing my job as webmaster.
What Dusan did was use a tool that was given to him by the administrators of this forum (that's you). Anyone with basic mod privileges has always been able to see exactly what anyone is doing and what URL they are viewing regardless of whether they are in the AdminCP or not. That's always been the case so there's no need to over dramatise it with the James Bond rubbish OK. You gave us that tool, it's part of the information given out here. No different to viewing what thread someone is reading. Surely you must be aware of this?

Sean I too would like you to answer Matt’s question. You denied looking at anyone’s private messages, then admitted to just one instance of doing it when caught and accused. Would you have admitted to it had you not been caught, and considering the shady ethics involved in this alone what reassurances do we have that you have not read all of our private messages at your own whim?
As for the situation with Gilly, you have admitted you only consulted with two other admin before making this choice, however Alison was not an admin at the time Gilly was removed, leaving only Greg. You consulted with the one admin who is a skeptic of David’s research, and a great many of the topics that we discuss on the forum heavily. Spying on people’s private messages given the stand David has made regarding “big brother” and people’s right to privacy, forces me to ask the question: do you even believe in the things David discusses? Are the most influential people regarding mod and admin actions on this forum believers in the topics of discussion here and of David’s research? Are those individuals even familiar with psychic warfare or how they might be influenced by such things? If not, then I am extremely concerned regarding the security of this forum, given the importance of it.
Why is it ok for you to spy on a mod’s private messages, but not ok for a mod to use the tools you gave them to catch you in the act? If we hold the same standards of ethics if Dusan is removed for this, I would ask that you consider stepping down as forum manager.
Why is it ok for people to post racist statements on our forum and have the points reversed in the name of free speech, but mods cannot call out admin in private mod forums for wrong doings without retribution? Sean I am sorry, but I cannot in good conscious accept and live with the fact that you have read the private messages of one of us, regardless of the reason, without speaking out against it. This is no better than the spying the intel agencies use against us all in the name of “national security”. It is a violation of my own ethics, as well as the very ethics and ideals all of David’s research and work is based upon. If you feel the need to remove me as a mod for this, I cannot stop you, but know that for me it will be a clear sign that this is no longer the David Icke official forum, but instead Sean’s official forum. Do we uphold the ideals of free speech, rights to privacy or equality? I do not believe that someone who believes it is acceptable to read someone’s private messages should be a mod let alone an admin of this forum, and I cannot remain silent on this, even if it costs me my mod position. I’m not going to go along to get along on an ethical issue such as this, because someone with authority might punish me for it.
If this forum is run by people who believe such things are acceptable I am not fighting to protect anything worthwhile. Sean if you tell me these are the ethics by which our forum is run (gross violations of privacy like reading PM’s and admin not being held to the same standards of accountability, and people not even believing in David’s research or ideas running this forum), then we have built a forum on such massive hypocrisy that, had I know this in the past, I would have never accepted the offer to be a mod. I know in my heart that even if they are remaining silent, others are thinking things along these lines.

Sean's a liar. He didn't read my PMs because he thought I was spying on him. I never had a facility to spy on anybody, and he knows that.
I'd had a disagreement with I_Am on the mod section. One of many small disagreements. I'd told her it would make a nice change if she supported the mods for once instead of just defending herself in respect to some venomously worded complaint from a trollish member. Her response was to tell me to "Jam it up my arse", and storm off, changing her own status to premier member. Chllenging the 'Seniors' is not acceptable, and I did it regularly, because I felt that certain people constantly contradicted themselves re moderation issues, and behaved hypocritically, creating a totally unfair level of inconsistency, and rendering the underling mods confused and unable to get it right.
I knew instantly that she'd be back, and want me gone before plonking her arse back on the throne, so that she didn't loose face.
I believe that Sean was looking for some justification to get rid of me in preparation for her return.
I don't know what PM he's since claimed was the one breaking moderation guidelines, because that was never given to me as an explanation for my being sacked.
I only learned of his PM reading activites when I was already gone.
I suspect that the one in question is a PM I issued to two mods, in which I (politely) urged them to stop tugging their forlocks and profusely apologising to I_AM and posting embarrassed face emoticons, in response to her stalking them round the mod forum, criticing and bitching at them for every thing they did!

i had made a post on there earlier, and IAAIA had raised a few questions about past happenings on the forum with regards to moderation. unfortunately, i am not in a position to answer those questions (which i see DE had already answered for you in another thread) because i became a DIF member only in oct '08. any prior issues as far as moderation and forum guidelines are concerned are not discussed with 'new' moderators i guess. as DE has already told you before, these topics weren't raised amongst the mods, and i've caught up on a whole lot of news after checking this forum out! i had not even heard of soglad, phoenix etc. till you brought them up... so i am genuinely sorry your questions relating to back then cannot be answered by me, at least.
i am also aware that many members are concerned and disgusted because we have apparently taken to posting our views on anti DI sites. to them, i would like to say- to be very frank and open, i am not brimming with enthusiasm and rubbing my hands in glee just at the thought of posting on forums everywhere. if given a choice, none of us would have spoken out the way we did... but sadly, when we raised our voices, we were pushed into a corner and given the heavy hand. when push comes to shove, you need to grab the bull by the horns and take charge in any way you can, even if it means using a 'medium' that may not be fancied by many.
so the fact remains that though forums such as this and the others have been banned for some reason, these very people are today helping us speak out, because we could not do so on our own 'forum', with our own team. instead of shooting the messenger, i suggest that people use their discernment to evaluate the message we are trying to put across.
...with that said, if anybody has any questions whatsoever regarding this incident- please feel free to ask. gilly and DE have already done so and people may be more 'clued in' now... but if anyone still has doubts, don't hesitate to put it across so we can try and clear the air.
a big thank you for the people here once again. i will be on again in a few hours. gtg right now as i've just got back from a much needed break! ...hoping to catch up with you all soon, later tonight (SMILE)

In answer to your question about Sean's privacy being violated, Runciter, that was never the case.
We all (including members) had the facility to look at 'Who's Online', and see who was doing what (as in viewing a particular thread, creating a PM, posting on a thread etc). Admittedly, I'm not very savy with computers generally, but the only difference with STRT's observation of what Sean was doing, to the best of my understanding, is that he realised what it was that Sean was looking at.
He provided me with a list of numbers that he'd witnessed Sean viewing, and asked me to hover my mouse over the titles in my PM index.
As you do this, a number, linked to each particular pm appears towards the bottom, left of the screen. It's something that I'd never noticed before.
Therefore, I was able to identify 5 specific PMs Sean had been seen reading - though there were a lot more that he'd been seen reading, which STRT hadn't recorded the numbers of. It was only when I could confirm that these numbers were linked to individual PMs that he was 100% certain of what he'd seen (although a part of each number was an index that denoted it as being linked to my username).
So in a nutshell - no, Sean's privacy wasn't intruded on at all.
I can't comment on the situation with Rodin, as I don't know anything about it, and I don't think I was there when what you're describing took place.

Lee, the fact is that this "exposure" by Dusan has been done in order to stir trouble and create bad feeling.
To suggest this feature has been there for a long time is totally wrong. I'm sure he's been watching every day for something like this to occur, and since now it has, he's decided to post his findings in the most dramatic way possible.
Not once did he ask me about it.
The fact remains that Gilly was found to be breaking the moderation guidelines, and i thought this to be a good tool to use in verifying that. It's absolutely my job to do so on here, and i stand by it.
I've had the discussion with another member of the team as to whether we should keep it as a permanent feature, and it was decided that no we shouldn't.
What dusan has done here, is use a hack/exploit in the forum to spy on me doing my job as webmaster. He has completely undermined what i'm doing here, and has insulted my integrity to the point where he is no longer welcome back on the team.
I find this behavior despicable, and i can only imagine that there have been whispering campaigns going on in the background.
Like i said earlier, if anybody else thinks what Dusan has done today is in any way appropriate they can leave. There are far better ways of dealing with things like that, than accusing people of a whole load of rubbish.

Who's Dusan? How did Gilly "break moderation guidelines"? Was it the PMs Gilly mentioned earlier in this thread where she questioned Sean's authority?
So it was never Gilly who was "spying" on Sean, but Dusan.
hi hauk
to answer your questions:
1. dusan is strt. personally, i do not think it was/ is right for people to know the names of all the mods, lol, coz after all i am sure they would have liked to keep it private... but i guess this 'convo' needed to be pasted for people to know what was going on, especially since many were confused thanks to the gazillion stories flying around.
2. gilly did not break any moderation or forum guidelines whatsoever. as she has already explained previously in this thread, she was vocal about some mod/ admin issues, which was not taken too well by some admins. i_am left the admin team temporarily, and gilly was ousted in order for i_am to come back as tech advisor and not have anyone question admin decisions as far as modding the forum threads are concerned. since there was no 'valid' reason for booting gilly from the team, sean used the external pm.php module to snoop into her pms, ended up reading hers, limelady's as well as logic_bomb's pms, and used CONFIDENTIAL and PRIVATE information therein to kick gilly out.
i can very honestly tell you that gilly has not sought to do anything wrong as far as doing her job as mod is concerned.
3. strt was NOT spying on sean. that allegation put forth by sean and i_am is baseless. in the convo that was pasted, logic_bomb also refuted sean's claims that strt 'hacked' into sean's account or whatever. we do not need to hack anything to view thread urls- it is a very basic function one is given when he/she is made a moderator or administrator/ advisor.
to elaborate further- again, we mods are given very simple tools which allow us to see which member is viewing which thread. we CANNOT- and i repeat- CANNOT, view private messages.
what happened here was that strt happened to hover the cursor over each name, and when he came across sean's name in the active users list, he spotted the url 'pm.php............'
strt is very well versed in software tech, and he deduced that 'pm.php' is a module used in forums to check up on private messages. this function used by sean was NOT a default option that came with the forum software. it is an '
add on', which means sean installed it later- perhaps to keep a check on spammers and trolls who were misusing the forum for other purposes.
strt found out that the url sean was viewing coincided with
gilly's user ID. when we put two and two together, we came to know that sean was checking out gilly's pms. this amounted to sean severely misusing the module to keep a check not on spammers, but on members of his own moderation team- when there was
absolutely no reason for him to do so. as i have said before, we still do not know how many other mods/admin and even members MAY have had their privacy infringed upon for no justifiable reason.
add to that sean first denying doing everything, then later admitting to it under the guise of 'gilly breaking guidelines' (which was a desperate attempt to make what he did look like he was doing his 'job' for the good of the forum) led us to voice our dissent and either get kicked for it, or have our posting privileges curbed.

(Yey!) I've spotted a few members here who I know & am very fond of. I don't recognise you though, Darkcloud, but I like your style!
Haukiespoke, I was 1st out, then STRT for his computer handiwork

- I think DE was next to go, then LL, who was on the verge of resigning anyways, & had posted some excellent rebellious comments. I can't remember the order the rest left in - I think it was Pinky next, who posted a blistering attack on the poor little Daisy-boy - as did they most of the others.
Those PMs were chock-full of loving messages, and good-natured banter, and when I realised he'd been in them, it fairly made my blood boil with rage, and I felt like I'd found a stalker rooting through my undies drawer!!! I'd have shaken his scrawny neck if I could have reached him!
When he'd booted me under false pretences, and refused to answer any of my questions regarding why, he tried to use a free ticket to see Icke at Brixton as a bribery! He feigned hurt indignation at my response (which I'll leave to your fertile imaginations (SMILE) ) such is his talent for spinning any situation to make himself appear the victim.

I'm not sure how that formatting is going to look as there isn't a preview button here.
Anyway, what IS circumstantial is whether DI is 'on the inside', so to speak, or simply someone cashing in on the 'scene'. The above, along with quotes from DI interviews with Nicky Campbell, the Fern Britton show and on the Republic of Ireland chat show, along with all of the quotes directly from DI's books ARE NOT circumstantial ... they are FACTS.
Unlike DI, you will not see me claiming that someone is definitely 'in on it' unless I have direct factual information showing that they are. Without such information, all that can be claimed is that there is CIRCUMSTANTIAL evidence showing that it is possible, or that it is a high probability.
At no point have I claimed that it is a FACT that DI is 'in on it'. What is a FACT is that I don't really care if he is or if he isn't, because either way, DI does not 'walk his talk', his claims on the most part are not proven and quite often ridiculous to the point of absurdity (4th dimensional, shape-shifting, human-sacrificing, blood-drinking, reptilians beaming a 'matrix' down to the earth from the moon being one).
Considering the information provided at the link I posted (which also includes quotes from the court transcript of the DI vs Adams case ... again, documented facts), the FACTS presented provide a strong CIRCUMSTANTIAL case for DI being a set-up (someone put in place as a leader to 'lead people astray').
If you have information to present that shows otherwise, please present it for perusal and consideration.
