Americanhacker / Strandedwind / nealr / Nrauhauser / Neal Robert Rauhauser - Obsessed middle aged stalker and gayoper who hates Kiwifarms, History of cyber stalking and constant sockpuppeting, Van evader

[Vott]

Neal really began coming to the farm's attention when @Nykysnottrans made a series of posts in the drum beating thread. I made a post about him recently in the Sinseer thread but due to how much of an internet presence this guy has I think having a thread would help contain it. It appears Neal has a history of socking on Twitter repeatedly over the last decade and socking elsewhere while cyber stalking those he obsesses over involving the use of alts on Doxbin and Encyclopedia Dramatica. Neal was also apparently involved in multiple swattings and revenge porn throughout the decades, As well as harassment of Conservative and Liberal bloggers in DailyKos. Big thanks to @Wy4M for helping shed more light on Neal's online history.




Many have noticed this individual orbiting Keffals, Liz and Sinseer during the Dropkiwifarms campaign and has tweeted out a lot about the site in general.
https://twitter.com/americanhacker (https://archive.ph/QaG0G)


He claims to have sent a dropbox to the FBI with user information and calls this site a national security problem.




Using his real name on Mastodon and having poor opsec in general makes his online presence more trackable, This appears to be an image from when he was younger.


A quick search on Twitter reveals his online fuckery, Below is a protection order filed against him in 2014.



Upon further poking around, Neal had a history of stealing Cesium (Caesium-137) in 1988 and had several warrants out for his arrest in 2014

The Torgate controversy has sputtered along these last few months, running a distant second to the profoundly annoying GamerGate. The only legitimate complaint anyone seems to have about the Tor development team is the fact that their funding is largely government based, and given that Tor is open source and decentralized it meets the NSA’s standard for being a ‘catastrophic’ surveillance problem. This funding issue isn’t wholly synthetic; it’s just been dramatized all out o)f proportion to the actual problem.


Unlike the gender-based social issues behind GamerGate, the perceived problem with Tor is one of technology and the need for a revenue model. Proceeding in a manner similar to Zero Customer Knowledge VPNs, a paper entitled Proof-of-Work as Anonymous Micropayment: Rewarding a Tor Relay offers some fresh thinking on funding operations, which is a step in the right direction.

Rewarding Relays​

The premise behind the paper is that a Tor client will include some sort of mining process and that the relays they use are running mining pools.

In this paper we propose a new micropayments scheme which can be used to reward Tor relay operators. Tor clients do not pay Tor relays with electronic cash directly but submit proof of work shares which the relays can resubmit to a crypto-currency mining pool. Relays credit users who submit shares with tickets that can later be used to purchase improved service. Both shares and tickets when sent over Tor circuits are anonymous. The analysis of the crypto-currencies market prices shows that the proposed scheme can compensate significant part of Tor relay operator’s expenses.

Schemes like this have been around since the very beginning, appearing in the original Tor paper presented by Roger Dingledine and others at the 13th USENIX Security Symposium in 2004. The Tor Incentives post covers half a dozen ways to compensate operators, but all of them have misfeatures such as a central bank creating coupons, the potential for timing based de-anonymization or other vulnerabilities to a large scale passive observer.

Design Goals​

The paper specifies five design goals:

• Do not degrade anonymity provided by Tor
• No direct payment in either fiat or crypto-currencies
• No reliance on secure measurement of bandwidth use
• No central bank issuing an internal use currency
• Basic users participate without needing to provide a relay

These interlocking requirements are what have kept the earlier efforts as purely theoretical, rather than running code. Maintaining an anonymous network overlay is hard enough without adding the hazard of use based transactions to the mix.

What About Development?​

The paper is missing two things that would provide a complete solution to the funding concerns of the Tor development team.


First, the paper treats the existing mining pools as black boxes, not subject to upgrade, rather than looking ahead to Ethereum’s Brave New World. There are provisions in the paper for dealing with the potential to trace users via the Bitcoin blockchain, a privacy issue which Ethereum would resolve. When the thinking in the paper is updated to integrate the new capabilities of next generation blockchains, some of the current hazards will be eliminated, which would provide for broader, faster uptake.


Second, there needs to be a central collection point for funds meant for the development team. Right now relays are run on a purely volunteer basis. When operators can recoup costs by using this mining pool approach, they should be able to route a portion of those funds to the developers. This user-centric ‘taxing’ of operations will place control of the overall direction of development firmly in their hands, rather than those of the government.

Bellingcat, MH17 & Kremlin Trolls​

1 Reply


I’ve been seeing a lot of articles on the Kremlin’s attacks against Bellingcat, triggered by their investigation of the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. This has been a field test of their capabilities against a grassroots entity, which is interesting because Bellingcat draws a diverse set of smaller supporters, rather than the type of support a large media operation would receive in this situation.

How MH17 Gave Birth to the Modern Russian Spin Machine (Foreign Policy)

But, looking back now, it seems that the downing of MH17 — a disaster that horrified the world, and that has since been the subject of two international investigations seeking to establish some semblance of truth — marked a Rubicon moment for the Russian disinformation machine: the first time that the full power of the state was trained on the task of convincing the world to accept a false narrative of events, despite a preponderance of evidence to the contrary.

Bellingcat vs Fancy Bear: how hackers tried to halt the MH17 investigation

During the course of Bellingcat’s own investigation, in early 2015, Bellingcat founder Eliot Higgins began to receive phishing emails purporting to be from Google. Speaking to IT Pro, Higgins said that initially he ignored them.
“I had thought it was just a general scam trying to get my credit card details,” Higgins said. “But then I was reading one of the ThreatConnect articles on the DCLeaks and they gave an example that looked a lot like the emails I had received.”
He then spoke to other members of Bellingcat to see if they had received similar emails and found two of them had.

Vilify and Amplify: How the Kremlin’s Disinformation Machine is Attacking the MH17 Probe

The primary goal of the media attacks has been to undermine the credibility of citizen journalist group Bellingcat, an independent researcher into the crash. [Editor’s note: Eliot Higgins, the founder of Bellingcat, is a nonresident senior fellow for Digital Forensic Research Lab with the Atlantic Council’s Future Europe program.] The Dutch Safety Board (DSB), which conducted an official investigation in 2015 and concluded that MH17 was downed by a surface-to-air missile, has also been targeted.

An expert’s guide to Putin’s propaganda playbook (@MarkGaleotti)

The report’s findings were clear: A Russian missile supplied by the Russian military and fired from territory held by Russia’s local proxies downed the plane, killing all 298 people aboard. In response, going from Vladimir Putin’s playbook, we can expect a furious, relentless, inventive and brazen propaganda campaign that will probably continue indefinitely, hoping to bury the truth in a mudslide of conspiracy theory, denial and rumor.

Eight Principles Of Uncivilization​

7 Replies


I have been sharing my recent free floating, angsty writing with a friend, and he just turned me on to The Dark Mountain Project. I’m reproducing the eight key points from their manifesto here for future reference.

1. We live in a time of social, economic and ecological unravelling. All around us are signs that our whole way of living is already passing into history. We will face this reality honestly and learn how to live with it.
2. We reject the faith which holds that the converging crises of our times can be reduced to a set of ‘problems’ in need of technological or political ‘solutions’.
3. We believe that the roots of these crises lie in the stories we have been telling ourselves. We intend to challenge the stories which underpin our civilization: the myth of progress, the myth of human centrality, and the myth of our separation from ‘nature’. These myths are more dangerous for the fact that we have forgotten they are myths.
4. We will reassert the role of storytelling as more than mere entertainment. It is through stories that we weave reality.
5. Humans are not the point and purpose of the planet. Our art will begin with the attempt to step outside the human bubble. By careful attention, we will reengage with the non-human world.
6. We will celebrate writing and art which is grounded in a sense of place and of time. Our literature has been dominated for too long by those who inhabit the cosmopolitan citadels.
7. We will not lose ourselves in the elaboration of theories or ideologies. Our words will be elemental. We write with dirt under our fingernails.
8. The end of the world as we know it is not the end of the world full stop. Together, we will find the hope beyond hope, the paths which lead to the unknown world ahead of us.

World War Zero​

Leave a reply


Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. We had two wars in the 20th century, World War I(1914-1919) and World War II (1939-1945), which were characterized as world wars due to their global nature, involving all major economic powers and combat on most continents. As collective memory in America tends to start on April 19th of 1775 we forget the first all encompassing conflict – the War of the Spanish Succession (1702-1715).
Europe, North America, and South America all got dragged into Europe’s effort to dissuade the merger of French and Spanish power after the death of the penultimate royal inbred, Charles II, in 1700. I lack a map of the Imperial Alliance Network involved in this conflict, but here are a list of the political entities involved.


The concept of divine right of rule started to die when Charles did and it pretty much took the entire 18th century to play out, ending with the conclusion of the French Revolution in 1799.

We seem to be entering another period of global upheaval that arguably began with the end of the Cold War in 1991. The unipolar, western dominated world is coming apart, not because it failed to face down communism, but because posts communist Russian corruption is eating it from the inside.

There are world events conditioned on environmental issues. The French Revolution owed much to the Lakagígar eruption and the last time the U.S. had as many town halls as we have now was in 1816, following the Tambora eruption. I’ve argued in the past that Pinatubo in 1991 triggered over a decade of wet weather than influenced northern hemisphere wheat production.

Grímsvötn shut down air travel in Europe in 2011 and just like the Cascadia subduction zone, it’s overdue for a period of extended activity. When this volcanic system gets going it can erupt for years at a time. Europe was in chaos after just a few days of no air travel.

Fukushima is six years in the past and so is Arab Spring. I often mention the Russian fires and Pakistani flood that preceded Arab Spring.

We’re focused, for better or worse, on dismantling the neo-liberal world order that arose concurrent with the Cold War. This translates into crumbling infrastructure, declining diplomatic capacity, and I would argue that there is also declining military capability, despite massive expenditures. The F-35 Feeding Trough and the Zumwalt Class are Cold Warrior fantasies with little connection to real requirements, but they vacuum up all available funds and fail to perform as advertised.

When the time comes, we’re not going to be ready, not conceptually, nor financially, nor operationally. I’ve suggest there is some Functional Triage happening right now, but corruption and dissolution may lead to dysfunctional triage. Selling out smaller NATO members in the Baltic region would be an example of that. These areas are environmentally much better positioned than the likes of Yemen, Somalia, and Syria, but they have the misfortune to be nestled against resurgent Russia.

This latest series of articles offer a broader scope and a reduced level of precision than my prior work. It’s a curious place for a habitually analytical writer to be, paying more attention to feelings than facts.

Screed of momus https://dailyddose.wordpress.com/2012/07/03/screed-of-momus-neal-rauhauser-from-the-beginning-4/ (https://archive.ph/g6oUy)

After my own dealing with Neal Rauhauser, I’ve come to the conclusion that many of us in the blogging community have focused on his last decade or so of history. No one has actually gone back to his beginnings in Graettinger, IA, along a little Rural Route where his parents brought a farmhouse in Palo Alto County, Iowa. The house still stands to this day, almost 93 years after it was built.


The story of Neal Rauhauser begins like so many others do, in a small American town in a rural area of a small state like Iowa. His parents brought him to that old brick farmhouse in the Seventies when Neal was just a boy, and he would go on play basketball at Graettinger Community High School, graduating in 1985. There were few indications that Neal would go on to infamy as a cyberbully and troll, let alone a career as a Democratic Party operative.


And, like so many lives do, Neal’s life led him back to that farmhouse, where, in a post on the Daily Kos dated Monday August 03, 2009 AT 09:04 PM PDT, he posted a picture of that farmhouse as he explained how he lived in an area famed for its high winds. Neal had returned to Graettinger with big plans for a wind-powered ammonia plant, to be built on the outskirts of town. Neal’s life hadn’t turned out the way he’d wanted it to turn out. He’d been married and divorced, with two children back in Omaha and an ex-wife who’d taken him for over $1,300 a month, a fact that he lamented in his capacity as a commenter named Iowa Boy on The Daily Kos.

Neal’s multiple profiles on Daily Kos would eventually cross him up, providing others with the confirmation that he was not only Stranded Wind, but also Iowa Boy, as the graphic to the left will illustrate.
And it would also get him in trouble, as Neal’s capacity for blustering bravado would lead him to post the following comment about Dick Cheney as Iowa Boy, a comment which would prove to be great fodder for the conservative bloggers and tweeters he antagonized almost daily online. Neal blustered, he ranted, he fulminated, and he generally tried to make himself appear bigger and larger than he actually was. Today, there is no ammonia plant outside of Graettinger, no heroic accomplishment for the hometown boy who once lobbied Republican Senator Charles Grassley to keep the subsidies that would fund his ammonia plant and keep the dream alive. There are various websites and blogs, all of which promise news on the Spirit Lake project in the spring or summer of 2012.

A call to the number at the Freedomag website gets you through the voicemail of Steve Gruhn, one of the three principals listed at Freedom Fertilizer’s website. In the about section of the Freedomag site, the following is written:

“Freedom Ag, LLC, is an emergent Iowa clean technology firm focused on the agricultural sector. We are currently securing resources to move from lab-tested systems to commercial protyping.“

For almost half a decade now, the company, through its various iterations, has been moving forward to a plant at Spirit Lake, but the plant has never materialized. A $100-$150 million project, as Neal noted, has yet to break ground in either of the two proposed sites considered for its location in Iowa. On strandedwind.org, Neal boasts that the financing for the plant is unaffected by the crash of 2008, a crash that is arguably still ongoing. This is because Freedom Fertilizer/Freedomag’s project at Spirit Lake is based in commodities rather than financial devices like derivatives.

And though Neal put himself front and center in questioning Senator Grassley as to the survival of wind energy tax credits, saying that he was working with Steve Gruhn to generate power and eventually ammonia using a 90-year-old Haberbosch process. In truth, Neal was part of his own Stranded Wind Initiative, and he was not a principal in Freedom Fertilizer. He wanted farmers to put forth $100,000 for his idea, and the federal government to foot the other $100,000 to start up the plant. In his strandwind.org post, however, Neal says that the plant will cost $100-$150 million. Neal’s query and lobbying of Senator Grassley at the Estherville Rotary Club was reported by Michael Tidemann of the Estherville Daily News in March of 2008.

$200,000 in start up capital for a plant costing as much as $150 million, and federal subsidies to boot! Over half a decade after Freedom Fertilizer started with the idea of a wind powered ammonia plant, its new website states that it is securing the resources to move from lab-tested systems to commercial prototypes, with no plant at Spirit Lake.

And there in the middle of it all, with his self-started Stranded Wind Initiative, was Neal Rauhauser, right before he became a rabidly partisan political operative who would go on to infamy for his deeds on Twitter and his threats of lawfare towards conservative bloggers.

To understand how Neal became who he is today, we need to go back in time, to his marriage to one Nancy Nogg, daughter of a wealthy Jewish family in Omaha, Nebraska. The Nogg family was a pillar of the Omaha community and a fixture in the Jewish community as well. Irving and Marian Todd Nogg (maiden name: Wolpa) had four children, Carole, Russell, Margery, and Nancy, who was the youngest.
The Nogg children were largely a success in their own right, with Russell going on to work as an estate lawyer in Anchorage, Alaska. He and his spouse Jeanne made their life up north, while the girls married, with Carole settling in as Mrs. Robert Adelstein in Denver, and Margery settling in as Ms. Hughes in Minneapolis.

prove. The first addition to the family was little Ari Rauhauser, a boy who closely resembled his father. Next came a daughter, Madeline, whose picture is to the right.

Neal was busy bettering himself just as his wife had done, and in 2000 he received his Cisco certifications and began work in his field. Effective January 3rd, 2000, Nancy also received good news career-wise: she replaced Bill Swanson as the Assistant Dean of the College of Business Administration, just three years after received her MBA from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. It was a busy year for the Rauhauser family.

The death of Irving Nogg in 2001 could not have been easy on the family, given that he was Nancy’s father and she was his youngest daughter. Irving left behind a life of accomplishment, and a high standard for Neal to meet, because Irving spent 53 years in the truck transportation business, 43 of them as a partner in I-Go Van and Storage, eventually retiring as president and manager in 1989. The Nogg family still runs I-Go Van and Storage with three locations in the Omaha and Sioux City areas.

There were ugly accusations, and the divorce was every bit as acrimonious and personal as divorces typically are, if Neal’s online allegations about his wife’s drug habit are any indication. Still, Nancy Nogg continued on as the Assistant Dean of the College of Business Administration until around 2004, when she left to pursue jobs as a consultant while Neal built his own professional career. Eventually, Nancy would wind up at the Omaha Conservatory of Music as the director Marketing and Development.

Neal would wind up across the country leading a social network war against conservative bloggers in his capacity as the founder of Progressive PST, a consulting firm he cofounded with Beth Becker. If the bar mitzvah announcement of his son Ari’s 13th birthday is any indicator, Neal wasn’t present all that much in his son’s life. The announcement pointedly omits any mention of Ari’s father.

There’s little evidence that Neal’s upbringing was rabidly partisan, or filled with political intrigues. In truth, it’s Nancy Nogg’s mother Marion who had the record as an activist. Marion’s alma mater Briar Cliff notes how versatile an English major can be by pointing out Marion Nogg’s public activist work. And while Nancy Nogg’s Facebook page indicates a like for Barack Obama, there is precious little evidence that her hatred of right wing conservatism burns as bright as her ex-husband’s. Nancy appears to have a life outside of political activism, online smear campaigns, and dirty tricks that belies her past connection to Neal Rauhauser.

public image and record as a driven career woman defy Neal’s characterization of her as a woman struggling with addiction, because Neal’s post as Iowa Boy on Thursday, May 25th, 2006 at 07:51:40 PM PDT alleges that Nancy had a crash St. Patrick’s Day 2005, and that she may have gone through treatment afterwards.

Then again, Neal also alleges that he defended himself by putting his ex-wife in a painful stress position utilizing the martial art Hap Ki Do, after she got angry with him and threw a punch when she became frustrated with her inability to hit him with thrown dishware. Such is the way of Neal, where his enemies, even the mother of his children, are subjected to one online disclosure and allegation after another of impropriety, all of which is traceable due to Neal’s own failure to maintain discretion and his inability to keep his online personas straight.
Today, Neal Rauhauser doesn’t even appear on Progressive PST’s website, a fact that belies the about us section’s note that Progressive PST was founded by a couple of Daily Kos bloggers. Only Beth Becker appears with a bio as one of the two founders of Progressive PST. Neal is absent, just as he is absent from any of Freedomag’s websites or online promotional materials.
However, assuming the divorce from Nancy was as bitter as Neal’s public postings as Iowa Boy indicate it was, and given what we can deduce from his presence on the East Coast and his near constant activity on the side of the country that is opposite to his own children, we can perhaps understand the bitterness that drives Neal. After all, by 2007, he’d added Lyme Disease to his Asperger’s Syndrome, a disease that was every bit as physically debilitating as his Asperger’s was socially debilitating. Today, when Neal does get out of bed to go out and live his life, he does so as man reviled throughout the Internet for his associations with men like Brett Kimberlin, and his posturing overstatements as regards his involvement with wind-powered ammonia plants, Project Vigilance, and his attempts to link up with the Anonymous movement, whose members routinely refer to him in derogatory fashion in their IRCs. References like SPAI and remarks about his age are the norm, as Neal attempts to co-opt yet another online effort just as he did with the Beandog Militia.
He’s a man with multiple employers in his wake, multiple company startups that went nowhere, and multiple initiatives to do this and that. He retreated from Omaha to the farmhouse his parents raised him in, and you can detect a bit of wistfulness in his reference to the house of his upbringing: “My home, such as I have one…“
The Aaron Walker complaint against Neal poetically and somewhat ironically enough lists the parking lot of a Walgreen’s at 220 South Century Blvd in an unnamed city (by my choice) in Illinois as Neal’s residence. He’s a man with no real home, just a houseguest of various individuals like Beth Becker and Brett Kimberlin who allow him to visit and drive their ideas and proposals into realization with his technical skills. Neal Rauhauser is, if his life before he became the Neal Rauhauser we know today is any indicator, a nomad.
There are addresses in Nebraska, in Iowa, in Illinois, and now under the names of his companies in Eastern Seaboard states as Neal tries to evade being located by the numerous right wing bloggers would doubtless love to serve process for civil actions and depositions on him for the acts he’s committed over the past two years. And so it is that Neal Rauhauser cannot even use his own name online any longer, nor can he put an address under his actual name, because that name is so attached to the various and sundry underhanded, unethical, and possibly illegal deeds he committed over a two year period in which he stalked, harassed, intimidated, and intimated admittedly frivolous legal action for the purpose of inconveniencing and harassing his prey. His children continue to grow into adults in Omaha, and Neal fights against invisible enemies and non-existent conspiracies against his progressive heroes like Anthony Weiner while the life he left behind continue with a void in his place.
Throughout the past six or seven years, Neal’s public online behavior has targeted the mother of his child with allegations of drug use, spousal abuse, and insinuated that she had to enter treatment for her substance abuse in 2005. No one had to hack Neal’s computer to get that information; he put it out for the world to see and then revealed himself as the poster. The same is true of virtually every other former friend of Neal’s who didn’t conform to Neal’s standards, from the Beandogs to his musings about Ron Brynaert’s sanity and his public distaste for Brett Kimberlin, whom he was chagrined to realize was a mutual acquaintance of his and Brynaert’s.
Neal doesn’t have friends, he has present associates he can’t preserve due to his own self-destructive actions. He can’t claim his companies, and they can’t claim him because the brand attached to his name is so radioactive at this point that it would be professional suicide to have his name on the masthead at Progressive PST. He’s lost his posting privileges as Stranded Wind at the Daily Kos, a leftist site whose standards take a tremendous amount of testing before the administrators will deign to kick someone off of the site. So it is that Neal Rauhauser, a professional online troll with few if any visible friends and a family he has little to do with if the visible online evidence is any indicator, continues his nomadic existence and his journey from present associate to present associate, each inevitably destined to fall into the category of former associates who cannot publicly acknowledge their affiliation or involvement with him or his self-destructive actions.
Don’t begrudge him his outrageous antics online, because they’re all he has left to go with his delusions of grandeur about a wind-powered ammonia plant on the outskirts of his hometown and a social networking effort that will return truly partisan progressives to a majority in Congress where they can re-make the country. Unfortunately, given the political realities of the present day, Neal’s dreams have absolutely no chance of being realized.
His own ally, Democratic candidate for Congress in Washington’s District 1 Darcy Burner, revealed as much when she refused to give contributions to Barack Obama in December 2011 on the grounds that he was a Republican. Disappointment is destiny for Neal, and the only solace he has is in feeling as if he took a few of the people from the other side with him, people like Greg W. Howard and Patrick Read. Then again, no matter how badly they’ve been inconvenienced by Neal’s antics and those of his allies, they can still show their faces and use their names on Twitter and they still have families. Neal’s life is what is, and perhaps a glimpse of it from the beginning with an emphasis on the past sixteen years will add some context to why he is the way that he is.

You'll find a lot of commentary and useful info at hogewash. I've linked to roughly where the good stuff starts (endless scrolling pages are ass). Hoge pulled a lot of information about Rauhauser and associates into his posts, though they're mostly concerned with his legal sparring against Brett Kimberlin. I have no idea why that thread is locked. The whole Team Kimberlin saga is a crazy ride that I was lucky enough to witness while it was happening. Plenty of posts on his site tagged First Mate Rauhauser, as well as many posts under the Team Kimberlin category, will have something useful about Neal, including links to other people documenting his activities.

Neal spent a lot of time didging service and judgements during this saga. He's still got outstanding warrants, iirc, and owes several people a lot of money.

 

[Nykysnottrans]

Did you guys see this parody Twatter account @AmericanHack that's mocking his @AmericanHacker account? Hilarious stuff:



Edit: forgot this one! Perhaps Neal can start calling himself Noella Rathauser or something? I mean, he apparently likes to LARP as a woman online...





I like how the @Bullyvllle account refers to him as #Rathauser I might have to steal that one:

 

[Sprate Header]

Neal's been mentioned quite a few times in the Kirtaner thread:

[Onni Kalsarikännit]

Ok, someone has to do it:

Where are the nudes of him on his kids blankets?

 

[1996 Toyota Camry]

Neal Robert Rauhauser is ugly and i would not have sex with him

 

[Big Al's Famous Pork]

I have been waiting for someone to make this thread.

 

[AirdropShitposts]

That lolsuit is pretty funny if I'm remembering it correctly, this guy is such a piece of shit that he turned what might have been a viable lawsuit against another piece of shit into a borderline criminal conspiracy.

That Bullyville account and some around it claim this guy and that Libby Shaw setup Kirtaner. Not that he wasn't stupid and willing to commit crimes on his own just that he was too drugged out to actually want to do any of them so they had to manipulate him into it.

It's funny that like rapist Liz Fong-Jones this idiot has hated the Kiwi Farms for years and been claiming he's going to take it down and put Null and everyone else in jail but nobody's ever cared enough to make a thread about him until now.

 

[Markass the Worst]

Why does every single person who hates the farms ends up being a repulsive ugly piece of shit irredeemable sex pest?

 

[The Mass Shooter Ron Soye]

Upon further poking around, Neal had a history of stealing Cesium in 1988 and had several warrants out for his arrest in 2014

This thread deserves to leave PG.

This man is insane.

This thread deserves to leave PG.

This man is insane.

He definitely shares the same traits with Sinseer but to a much larger degree minus the MMO stuff, This is an insane amount of gayops this dude is doing and I haven't seen gayops this extreme out of the years I've lurked the net and really only the kind of things I'd read about in the news, I don't even think I've hit the bottom yet, So much content out there I keep finding and I also want to add a bit more to the OP first but plan on having it moved this week, Site's been a bit janky too but managed to edit a lot more in.

I'll be honest though, When I saw his Americanhacker account orbit John's Dropkiwifarms account, I thought it was some obscure weirdo who'll eventually drop off but holy shit when I looked it up on Twitter he linked his name and then all of the legal stuff kept coming up and then I saw the blanket photo.

I started to make notes for one but the rabbit hole is very, very deep and I was like yeah fuck this. Figured someone else would. This dude is incredibly weird and involved in all sorts of illegal shit.

 

[The Truth Is Opinion]

Anyone who speaks on behalf of "The people" is a fuckwit and deserves to perish. People like this lack a certain human trait that many of us have. The amount of time he spends trying to take down the farms just makes me believe he is hiding something really bad about himself. Its not like these lolcows are innocent people.

This guy is clearly a danger to himself and others. Who the fuck steals cesium if they arent planning on making radioactive weapons?????

Neal has some very strange associates too, Brett Kimberlin who bombed a speedway in 1978 and sent to federal prison over it, Thomas Retzlaf who uploaded naked photos of his daughter and also cyber stalked others while ending up being killed in his home, Kirtaner / Aubrey Cottle who founded 420Chan and larps as Anonymous while he ran a pedo board and some shit while also evicted, There are likely more strange figures around this dude I'm still trying to understand and keep up on, This keeps getting more insane by the second.

Wait, did you just start digging into this person?
If so then can I assume that most of these don't ring a bell: Progressive PST, twittergate, project vigilant, netwar system, ...

If so then I won't say 'buckle-up, buddy' but rather 'buckle-buckle-buckle-up, buddy'

Wait, did you just start digging into this person?

He started showing up on the radar for me when I saw him interact with Sinseer / Dropkiwifarms under his Americanhacker account and also saw the account post around the campaign itself, I originally did a dump in the Sinseer thread about him but then I kept finding all of these things about Neal, Thanks for the links btw. I also combed through his huge blog about the middle east and climate sperging last night so I archived pages of that.

You by any chance wouldn't happen to know more about the Fuck me Blankets incident would you? It takes such a high level of autism to be taking naked images of yourself on your kids blankets in the first place.
