Hi Dani,

I have had the privilege and pleasure for knowing your boss for many years. Looking forward to get to know you somewhat better through the BND X-Files.

Hi!

how do you know Jonathan? Are you known by any other nics around the place?

I know him from when he was in Darwin. Most weekends (either Sat or Sun) Jonathan, I and another used to play rpgs. When he left Darwin, we kept in touch.

I'm also known as Sir Bors (one of Arthur's knights) on the Pisces forums.

And there were a few other names you gave yourself too as I recall... why not tell Dani those too?

I gave myself the moniker "Zelator" after a book. Oh, and "Monty", I like this name.

So I guess my assumption is correct in thinking that this site replaced the old BND run by faithful, evidently since this site started after the big flip out and take down? I saw a partial explanation when I did a google search, but could find nothing on this site, unless it is hidden in a post somewhere.

Well I will tell you a summary version, then let's move on.

Faithful approached me about having a store for my stuff on his forum site. I found that a little surprising but OK. It followed me originally asking if it was possible for my producers to advertise the MERCHANT OF DEATH documentary when it's ready somewhere on his front page. No big deal, typical kind of inquiry.

Anyway, apropos of his counter suggestion of having a store, that swiftly telescoped into selling the THIRD TRUTH book on his site at a discount for members. The discount meant the author was making no money off those sales at all I might add, my firm is already running a loss putting the book out despite what some of the assclowns out there think. They don't have a meaningful day job so it's a bit much me expecting them to understand business.

Moving on... So Faithful did a sales link kind of thing using a sales button I created. He didn't bother advertising the book in any other way, didn't mention the price on the ad originally, basically- not a great job.

I honestly didn't care, wasn't an issue either way. I didn't even notice the ad originally when I logged on to be honest.

So along comes InDeepShitNow who I personally think is a short man syndrome sufferer who craves attention- witness his silly departure from the site and return when no one gave two shits, his big noting himself etc. Be all that as it may he had enormous psychological influence over Faithful. Faithful also seemed concerned there were no sales from the sales link- well he'd asked me not to pimp the sales link on BND, so strike one against sales happened right there, and then the actual nature of the sales link was not too flash.

In the mean time InDeepShitNow stuck his nose into what was I thought more or less private stuff, as such a fool is wont to do. Upshot of that was, with no warning to me, Faithful takes down the sales link and starts a sort of public passive aggressive bitching match. Whatever. I left two acid comments and sent him a blistering email, every word of which I stand by. I called him a coward and a fool, the more so for being influenced by an unhinged person like InDeepShitNow, and I was particularly aggrieved to see him make those contemptible statements clearly aimed at me and my author over profiting from tragedy... As I said to him, he was the one with the begging bowl on the side of his forum, he came to me try and make money, and he had google ads up there all the time.

Next thing I know the site is down and gone. Briefly there was a placeholder saying he was spending more time with his wife. Then it was just a swirl of electrons and gone.

So as far as I am concerned, a schizophrenic and a backstabbing buffoon crapped where they lived and ruined what could have been a good site.

No doubt the usual majority of people involved will say oh noes poor Faithful his intentions were good etc. but honestly I don't think they were. At best he was a cowardly play actor at worst someone almost negligent in his duties as an admin. This is a guy who not a week before this had invited me to be an admin ie co owner in all but name. For someone decrying other people's supposed financial motives (I repeat, I have lost money on THE THIRD TRUTH so far, not to mention reputation) he was sure quick to try and make a buck. Or even beg for one, which is just pathetic.

That is what happened, in a nutshell. I am neither admin nor mod here though obviously I am close friends with the girl who is, and she used to be my paid PA, but this is her site. She is sympathetic to me, even though since volunteering to PA for me in relation to THE THIRD TRUTH she has been stalked, alleged to be a phantom, alleged to be me and all sorts of other crap.

I thought the advertised idea of BND was a good one, too good to die. So here we are. Let's make take two all it can be.

And just to prove the point- as far as I can tell when I log in Dani has added not a skerrick of commercial content other than in threads, where I am pretty sure no one has a problem with them.

Yeah, I didn't really know Joe, or the others, just goes to show you, you don't know people. He seemed pretty self contained until that last final thread before the site went down. I felt bad and actually "chipped in" 15 bucks the day before the site went down. Kind of feel fucked, if you know what I mean. So the only thing I plan on contributing is my nonsense. If I get banded for that, there's always GLP..LOL

That's the 2nd site Joe bailed on.

That Imadeepshithead and a few others are what doomed the site.

So what the hell happened ? ... BND just up and deleted itself from the web..odd.
So this is the remains? I had been out of the loop for a few weeks and then blammo, so I find this site, I'm still a little confused as to why the "original" site disappeared. I read the above about sales of some book and such, what a shame. Back to lurking.

A marketing scheme gone bad I guess, oh well. Life goes on. Allot of these sites are like that. Either magazines or book authors or whatever. Haven't figured Trinity out yet, just some rich fuck out on an Island in the Caribbean, soaking it up. Or a CIA operative trying to mine for information.

"a CIA operative trying to mine for information." LOL, I know that is the danger with these types of boards; Makes me paranoid bug start acting up, I start to think damm "COINTELPRO" is alive and well then I think, NO the answer is much simpler than that... just "$$" Oh well, such is life

Well here at the new BND it's basically Danielle running it in her spare time and the rest of us talking shit. Like I said I'm not a mod or anything here let alone an admin so we're as equal as possible and that's that.

As for Trinity, my blog amonst other places lists his connections to USAF intelligence etc. and the fact that GLP is a spyware front- based on who owns what, not some whacky theory.

by "few others" I assume that includes a certain Islam proselytizer?
