Keith Idema is Dead

[spokes]

..he called me up some years ago from Afghanistan asking me to get out there with him because in his words. 'Pete, ya gotta come out here, it's just like paintball' ....

And here's the typical combatant:

How about Manson? Can you believe the familiies victims' have to go to court to keep him in jail. Talk about torture. How about turning the tables? Each real family member that was harmed by his "family" gets a crack at him.

But that is for the American judicial system to decide.

Sociopathy vs. Psychopathy

What a relief!

I'm a sociopath and not a psychopath.

I always loved dear old mom and dad and felt very bad when my string of bank robberies did not net enough to buy them the late John Denver mansion in Aspen, Colorado.

Indeed, I got very angry with myself!

Stop the presses!! Ronbo is a person!

Funny you should mention the John Denver mansion in Aspen (it is really in Starwood, which is like Aspen X100). I delivered art to this Doctor out there years ago when Denver was still alive and it was a bitch to get the truck up there because it had just snowed. Like all rich people in that area the Doctor had spotless black labs with really shiney coats becuase they could hire dog groomers for outdoor dogs, so I was playing fetch with his dogs after delivering the painting and chatting with him, and he pointed out a spotless driveway of his neighbors and said to me "Notice anything weird about that driveway?" after looking at it for a bit I said "its dry...it doesn't even look like it snowed there."

Then he told me it was John Denver's place and that "Mr. Country Boy - Rocky Mountain High" had powerful heaters in his driveway so they would be snow free during a blizzard.

NOT BY JOHN DENVER

Built a plane from a kit
But I didn’t have the knack
Jumped in the cockpit
and downed a six-pack
And now I’m an ocean buoy

Well, I grabbed the controls
And I started to fiddle
Got flames coming up
On my face like a griddle
Air flight ain’t nothing
But a funny, funny riddle
So now I’m an ocean buoy.

Well, my head’s chopped in pieces
And my body’s full of dents
They’ll identify me
By my guitar’s fingerprints
I tried to “dry out”
But instead got a rinse
And now I’m an ocean buoy

Stolen Valor Act: A second opinion

I happen to belive the Stolen Valor Act is necessary, enforceable and constitutional. Nicole would disagree, which is her constitutionally protected right to do. The New York Times op-ed today by UC-Berkley professor William C. Turner contains an interesting twist of words. "The court should rule in favor of Mr. Alvarez. Harmless fibbing should not be a federal offense." Not all "fibbing" is harmless, especially not the kind Xavier Alvarez committed when he portrayed himself as a decorated war veteran.

I would argue that there is significant harm inflicted upon current service members, veterans and their families, and survivors of military personnel killed in action when someone who did not earn medals or did not even wear the uniform claims to have done so. The harm in this case is psychological, and it can be serious. If you argue that psychological harm isn't real harm, please explain to me, then, why the U.S. military accepts post-traumatic stress disorder as a legitimate injury from war. No, you don't get to see any blood or bullet holes or blown-off limbs. But the harm is real. A person who misrepresents himself as a decorated veteran devalues the service of those who actually did the job and did earn the medals. Such a person reaps potentially enormous benefits -- financial or otherwise -- from making such false claims. It's not just fibbing. It's fraud.

I was among scores of people in Afghanistan defrauded by a man who claimed to have been a decorated, combat-trained Special Forces member. Although he did finish Special Forces training, his commanders deemed him unfit for service. He did not serve a day in combat as a uniformed American serviceman. And yet he convinced NATO, ISAF, some members of the U.S. military, and lots of journalists in Afghanistan that he was the real deal. And he profited from it. Television networks paid him lots of money for his lies, and he even published a book. This was a fraudulent action. It was not "harmless fibbing."

But let's flip this argument. If we claim that lying is constitutionally protected free speech, then why would it not be constitutional to walk into a bank and say, "I have a gun, give me your money," when you don't actually have a gun and might not really expect to get any money? All you want to do is exercise your constitutionally protected right to lie. Hey, what's the harm? No one got shot. There's no blood. All you did was cause some anguish. In other words, you caused psychological harm.

But the law defines that kind of lying as harmful nonetheless. If you say the word "bomb" in an airport, you will be arrested, even if you were just joking around. The law actually does distinguish between protected and unprotected speech. Not everything we utter is protected as a constitutional right. Nor should it be.

Fraud is not harmless fibbing. It's lying with the effect -- intended or not -- of making other people say, do or think things about you that they otherwise wouldn't. So, if someone employs a liar like Alvarez because they think he actually is a decorated veteran, is there harm? I say yes. And it is serious enough that the law should protect the public against it.

The Stolen Valor Act does exactly that. It doesn't outlaw all lying. Politicians still will by able to get elected by claiming things they didn't do, or by pledging to vote a certain way when they have no intention of doing so. The law doesn't outlaw playing a decorated veteran on the stage or in film, a la Robert De Niro in The Deer Hunter. Heck, the Supreme Court itself will still be able to lie when it says that corporations are people.

It is not overly broad, as Turner suggests. But it does specify exactly what is not permitted. Under the Stolen Valor Act, you are not allowed to claim you're a decorated war veteran when you're not. The worst harm of all would occur if the Supreme Court declares that fraud is constitutionally protected free speech.

I can't be the only one to have found this page. I've read this whole thread from when it started, and I don't remember seeing it before, so sorry if I missed it and am repeating someone else.

that guy is a piece of shit and hates people for all the wrong reasons. although the shit he says about ryp is pretty funny, hes a fuckin nutter and likely eats major dick in his private time. think of ronbo circa 2007-8? more than a decade after he tried/failed to clip clinton (and so had descended into functional irrelevance) but before he stopped eatin loads and loads of semen from many cocks (at which point they argue he (re?)gained a fragile modicum of sanity). i dont necessarily buy it, but that nexus guy is a pointless dickeating cockslut. and you can take that shit to the bank.

I think this started because I posted a warning on Idema's ripoff of Robin Moore's book on Amazon. Two douchey publishers decided to sell Idema's crappy rip off of Moore's notes (Idema was no where near the action or the teams) he made in K2. The original and this book is the typical Idema scam aided and abetted by Random House and now two internet publishers who should go to jail. Make shit up and hope that no one was actually there to call bullshit on him. Well I called bullshit on Idema long before he dissolved into pus and blood and his three groupies don't like it.

The website is run by Idema's lonely married check kiter girlfriend who works with a suicidal midget turned Renaissance Faire impersonator. You can't make this shit up. There is a guy named Jim Morris who was in on the scam to sue Spielberg and some doddering old CNN guy named Kavanaugh. Idema's lawyers have fled. Something about a suicide of a woman he scammed and letting Idema write on his stationary. Others will write the story but its a good one with plenty of interest from law enforcement.

Back to the bile writer. This is Idema's ex girlfriend. The one he juggled with about 4 others. Idema used to con middle aged women over the internet when he was in jail. He learned that in prison back in the States and did it in Afghanistan. They used to monitor and play his sex tapes for fun in Bagram when I was there.

Based on her sexual congress with him in Mexico (while blogging she was somewhere else to fool her husband) she has probably given hubby the Idema herpes and HIV death sentence. The fur faced midget.... I don't know why he bothers. You can't get a reach around from a pile of ashes.

They make things up, post porn, fake articles and then post it on multiple blogs that link together. Then they and a couple of dimwits post comments to each other to make it look like people read the stuff. its the ugly side of the internet but it's like watching a car crash.

There is another con artist named Joe Cafasso who posts shit about them and it's pretty damn funny to watch them all feed off each other. Grab some popcorn.

Its more like a car pileup on some corner that is easy to avoid ("Idema's Curve") in the sun or fog but people still keep crashing there. Every so often you check in and see an odd little car smashed to bits on it and then say "I wonder what this moron's story is?"

The above is just such a story. He is a rabid Republican who is on the disability dole thanks to state socialism and the taxpayers of California. He is a published poet, Ren Faire fetishist, and "internet radio DJ". I believe he also gets Section 8 vouchers (not sure on this one) because he tends to live in Section 8 neighborhoods and then complains about his neighbors.

And as mentioned, he threatened to off himself a few years ago because the Welfare that he complains about black people being on was not providing enough money for him, and his kidneys crapped out so he decided to stop dialyses for one day (killing yourself without dialysis takes long time but can be sped up if you live on an all banana diet...free slow suicide tip here at the BFC). One day later he decided not to go through the month long death process (I am guessing a portly woman with grapefruit like breasts cupped in chainmail and a man dressed as Henry VIII holding a turkey leg must have talked some sense into him) and instead decided to ask everyone for money.

Now he serves as a henchman of sorts. He writes mean spirited poetry to those his master (Idema's married girlfriend) doesn't like because that is all the henchman these people can afford can do. Its hard to be intimidating when your minion is a crippled, fat welfare queen who sometimes pretends to be a dwarf on sunny weekends.

Plus the dude is a year younger than I am and he looks like Mickey Rooney dipped in red pubic hair.
