Remember My Warnings About Proxy Services?
June 6th, 2007Mike Ruppert responded to my post about Armorware. As I expected, he didn’t address any of the several concerns I raised. He confirms what we already knew: He’s virtually clueless about computer security and is promoting something he doesn’t understand because it looks “elegant” to him. * sigh * He did, however, mention Alex Jones. […]
TB Guy’s Father-In-Law Is a CDC TB Expert
June 1st, 2007Imagine my shock. Obviously, this entire thing is a bunch of bullshit intended to frighten you, at some point, into the arms of some crook with a needle. Since I can’t even bring myself to quote much from this claptrap nonsense, I’ll just include the part about the guy’s father-in-law, who happens to be a […]
Remember My Warnings About Closed Source Computer Security Products and Services?
June 1st, 2007Read the Ugly Truth About Online Anonymity and then try to guess who’s an affiliate for Armorware, a proprietary computer security software suite? This is Mike Ruppert’s Armorware page.

Cryptogon Readers Contribute $125 and $30; Also, the Amazon Honor System
May 14th, 2007EM sent $125 and GT sent $30. Many thanks to both of you. Some of you have been wondering why I took down the $501 Dagobaz contribution. Paypal, it seems, has dealt me a bit of a setback on that one. I’m keeping my cool, for now, as this is the first and only problem […]

Virginia Tech Shooting: I’ve Already Seen Enough
April 18th, 2007I thought that I should designate a single post to all of the Virginia Tech related analysis, to parse out some of the key signals from the noise. Within 30 minutes of actually sitting down to read about the incident, I had already seen enough. At first, I was looking for—and found—indications of trauma induced […]
