In my humble opinion, only.....
Finding out recently that this lovely group of individuals had used
the Department of Defense inappropriately from approximately 1997 to
approximately 2 weeks ago for the lawsuits to stalk and continue to
harass us as if we were criminals. Tsk Tsk. Every one of us believes
in some form of alternative health care (as do our medical providers),
and to find out that electronic wireless mikes (look in the smoke
detectors and vents) and cameras were used is more than just
disgusting. People coming and going from our homes as if they felt
they had the absolute right to violate one's right to privacy. Not to
mention that the wiretapping of phones, unethical hacking that has
gone on and on and on; identity theft, and how about those telephone
calls you got recently from the White House....didn't realize that
you--and George and Laura were such good friends.
It isn't against the law to try alternative health remedies (almost
all healthcare providers provide for it in their plans); it is not
against the law to research for lawsuits, and how the DOD even got
involved back in approximately 1997 is beyond me. But learning that
Quackwatch was involved in those lawsuits and who was involved in my
present neighborhood, and past neighborhoods on May 13, 2008 none of
what transpired surprises me, however every attorney that I have
spoken with cannot believe the absolute hatred and violations of civil
rights that have happened over and over and over; including HIPPA. I
remember quite well all of the emails filled with porn we all
received; the hateful email messages and board postings scaring us to
no end, and the eery feeling that someone had been in our homes.
Finding telephone conversations plastered to AOL chatboards, and misc.
health.alternative and in home conversations; it was like we were
living in Nazi Germany. And then to find out that many of the
"players" on the old AOL boards weren't real fans in the first place,
but from the vast directory of Medical advisors, scientific advisors,
and skeptics groups worldwide, it became sad at best to realize that
the real RICO belonged in the hands of those that accused us of RICO
in the first place.
Freedom of speech only exists in their minds as long as it benefits
them. When things that were posted were of opinion, that they didn't
like, massive amounts of hatred would be aimed in our direction. They
used to refer to us as "the haters" when in fact it was they that were
"the haters." They had no clue about the true history of Paul Revere
and the Raiders, and it would appear that there was a daily or weekly
script or Cliff Notes they were using. And if we deviated from the
script, then we were sent hateful emails or hate messages were posted
towards us.
By the way, have you been able to find out who your new AbbyeOutz61
friend is yet?
