Melinda Jane Kellogg: Scourge of the internet

If ever there was a scourge on the internet it is stunningly portrayed by one Melinda Jane Kellogg.

So stunning and shocking that she has forced us to coin a new word ... which describes a statement, or a paragraph, a word or a blog, that is full of nothing but self-serving yet destructive drivel.  We now call such a thing a " kellogg ".
Melinda Kellogg cruises the internet 24/7 in her little apartment in Ashland, Oregon looking for anyone, especially seemingly vulnerable victims, who she can to take down and ruin for the rest of their lives.  Bear in mind that she will only go after those who she feels do not pose any threat to her.
So, she acts with total impunity when she topples the apparently weak and defenseless, but dares not go near a potential target who might cause her some regret.

A real courageous soul, isn't she?

Her website -- MelindaJaneKellogg.com -- is fraught with the most narcissistic content you will find anywhere throughout the solar system, and quite possibly throughout the galaxy, the entire galaxy! Yes, it's that bad.
Some have said that it just doesn't get more self absorbed and egoistic than the various and sundry self-congratulatory pieces and all too numerous posts of self adulation.

Seriously this time, she goes from being the ballerina to the brainiac, from the self appointed savior of all divorced women to the greatest investigative journalist of all time in three seconds flat.  Please spend some time there to see and read for yourself.  There's not a site like it on the whole wide net.

Melinda Kellogg traipses around the internet with a PhD or two shingled around her neck and somehow beguiles many to listen to her extremely tall tales.  So tall are these tales that she could tell them to Paul Bunyan and she would still be talking down to him.

No seriously, this woman is the ultimate and proverbial piece of work!  Literally, whenever her lips are moving you will hear anything but truth.  Whenever she pecks away at her computer, she writes anything but factual accounts of anything ... whatsoever!
In fact her ridiculous posts - ALL OF THEM - are completely devoid of fact, and so full of Kellogg-fabricated fiction.  Replete with falsehoods, fibs, fable, fallacy, falsity, fibbery, feigning, fraud, falseness, and fallaciousness.

Did we forget to mention that each and every word she utters drips with deceit, dishonesty, dissimulation, distortion, deception, disinformation, duplicity, dirt, and dupery?

Now let's really get serious.  Just in case you haven't been exposed to this woman's utter contempt for the truth, please be advised that she is now PUBLIC ENEMY # 1 of Anonymous for Responsible Internet Journalism.

Clearly, she has earned that title in a way that no other blogger has even come close to.  We are talking about the actual double title of: Bane of the World Wide Web; Scourge of the Internet.

Now we'll get serious for real.  Everyonce in a great while someone walks onto the stage of life to demonstrate to the rest of us how not to be.  How NOT to conduct ourselves.  How positively not to act in society, or in the privacy of our own home.
Well, you guessed it.  MJK is just that kind of personality.  She poses -- unwittingly, of course -- as the perfect and quintessential example how NOT to behave ever, anywhere, with anyone in any situation.

Curiously, if you were to hear her talk, or read her warped and windy writings you would think that she sits on the right hand side of ....

This is why it is important for groups like ours to unveil such pomposity and magniloquence.  Because if left unchecked, it will overwhelm the unsuspecting throughout cyberspace.
And there are many who are willing to accept at face value anything a "Kellogg" might write or say, even though it's a kellogg.

This is the biggest concern that many of us have about the blogosphere.  That is will degenerate into a thoroughly uncivil and barbaric, unkind and unfriendly place, fraught with verbal savagery at every turn. 
A place like Melinda Jane Kellogg's website, where there is nothing but hate and rage, jealousy and envy, cruetly and vulgarity being expressed through her every post.

Why would anyone ever want to go there ... and yet some still do?!

FYI to the wise:
A thorough examination of the very meager traffic at the kellogg website indicates the following.
Her website traffic comes from only two groups of people:
-  those who have been verbally assaulted or assassinated by her check for newly contrived libelous material to turn over to their attorneys
AND
-  her few co-conspirators monitor her posts to make sure that they have not turned into an enemy and therefore become the object of her hate campaign












 

Using Our Internet Platforms To Defame (by Libel or Slander) Is Character Assassination

               An Open Letter to Henry Makow

Dear Henry,

     We publish this open letter out of great concern for your recent actions on the internet.  We have attempted to write it with respect, objectivity and consideration for all parties involved.  However, when the explicit intention of a writer's piece is defamation of character by way of libelous statements, then we have a situation which ought to be prosecuted as character assassination. Character assassination is a crime, Henry, pure and simple.

     May we pose the following scenario to every reader of this letter?

     All of us have our opinions, beliefs and strongly held convictions about the state of the world today, don’t we?  Because of the human ego, we all think “we know what time it is”, don’t we?  Many of us are truly brilliant; some are certified geniuses.  The quality of internet writing and video production on the alternative side is quite awesome, yes?  The analysis of political, economic, financial, social, scientific, religious, spiritual, and cosmic events and developments is really quite amazing, much of it done in real time (Intuition is really sharpening!).

     What’s the point?  The smartest among us will always have disagreements whether philosophical in nature or about mundane matters.  Einstein and Newton would have debated endlessly were they contemporaries, as could Stephen Hawking and Garrett Lisi easily disagree today.

     What do the ethical and moral giants among us do when they disagree … really fight it out through intellectual combat, scientific battle or philosophical debate?  The true gentlemen and/or gentlewomen simply agree to disagree.  They part ways amicably and recover their own ground always reflecting on the possibility that the other guy or gal just may have something very important, perhaps even revolutionary, to say.

     In the present case before us, Rense.com is Jeff Rense’s website, not yours.  By your own admission Jeff promoted you and your work for many years.  He has only helped you and never hurt you.  He offered you a worldwide platform with which to share your exhaustive research and speak your truth.  You have a simple disagreement about an extremely important issue to Jeff and the entire relationship devolves into a one-sided screed. 

     It’s VERY important to bear in mind that Fukushima became Jeff’s personal study and enviro advocacy.  Rense.com covered the Japanese nuclear disaster like none other on the net.  He has more articles, essays, videos, audios, and interviews on this global catastrophe than anyone else in the galaxy!  Perhaps you could have afforded him the respect and credit due to an individual who has given nearly a year of his life to educate and enlighten his audience about this extraordinary global environmental catastrophe. 

     Anyone reading the “Stone” article could spend a year fact-checking and still be no closer to the truth.  So complicated and convoluted is the whole event that even those scientists who are in the know dare not render a fully integrated synthesis.  Clearly, there are different reasons – all quite legitimate – why any of us might shy away from some of Stone’s premises or conclusions.  And we speak from the position of those who have been intimately involved with Fukushima from day one though our own research, investigation, consulting and blogging with people on the ground in Japan and elsewhere.  We’re far from being uninitiated and much closer to the genuine experts, so we understand the subtleties and complexities involved in making an accurate assessment.

     Do you let people dictate to you what will or will not appear on your website?  We think not!  By all appearances (as well as anecdotal evidence) your gate-keeping is as stringent as it gets.  You took advantage of a privilege for many years at rense.com which many others do as well.  However, when a profound difference of opinion emerged you chose to betray your friend, fellow journalist and truthseeker. Is this the way you reciprocate because of a simple disagreement around content?

     Friends, professional associates, fellow journalists simply don’t treat each other this way.  NEVER!  Such profound betrayal is inexcusable.  Malicious defamation of character is serious business. Character assassination is even more serious when you consider that the victim cannot fully recover what has been stolen from him.  What if your reputation was cast about on the internet with such wanton disregard for the context or all the facts?  How would you feel ... or your family feel, having to suffer such ongoing humiliation for what amounts to one man's jealous rage, unjustified anger, and revenge for being ... ... ... supported???

     Here's one example of your purposeful misrepresentation of Jeff's history.  Your site contains false information in a linked article written by Lisa Guliani from Wing TV.  It references comments by Jeff's former employer which were deceitfully elicited from her, and then withdrawn by the same individual, Patricia Smullin.  Here's the actual letter of apology issued by Ms. Smullin to Jeff Rense acknowledging that misleading information was published by the folks at WingTV.
http://www.rense.com/general92/smullin.htm 

     What would the internet be like if everyone spewed their rage and vengeance and hatred and frustration all over the place?  See some of the Facebook pages that are covered with this type of venom and vitriol.  Is this where the public discourse is heading… or already gone?  Is this where Henry Makow wants to lead his many readers and fans?  No, this is not the kind of Pied Piper you are known to be.

     By the way, is it ever appropriate to disseminate information which was obviously given in confidence?  To share highly personal thoughts, feelings or delicate matters, which were allegedly rendered during the course of strictly private conversations, on the world wide web constitutes a profound betrayal of trust.  Of course, when these purported comments are then taken egregiously and self-servingly out of context, or otherwise twisted and changed, how are the rest of us ever to believe, or trust, Henry Makow again?!

     Henry, how would you feel if the private, confidential details of your life, your business – some totally misrepresented, others taken out of context – were plastered all over the internet.  Dear reader, you might ask yourself the very same question before you participate in the next internet lynching.  It is not a place anyone ever wants to be, and any behavior contributing to this state of affairs is completely unacceptable.

     What is really ironic and remarkably hypocritical is that your recent conduct is completely inconsistent with what you have counseled in a previous post regarding this exact issue as it concerns Jeff Rense, Editor of Rense.com.  Here's a quote from your article in support of Jeff posted at henrymakow.com on October 23, 2010:

"My policy is to never criticize fellow patriots. I cooperate with people on the basis of what we have in common. I don't expect we'll agree on everything. If I can't say something nice, I won't say anything. I focus on what we have in common, and recognize the real good they are doing."

     Henry, you created a board game called SCRUPLES for God’s sake!  On the website that sells this marvelous game it begins with the following question:

                     In life we ask ourselves: “What’s the right thing to do?”

     When your special box at rense.com was taken down did you ask yourself this question?  If not, please know that it is not too late.  Any reaction can be too quick, too impulsive, or too uninformed by one’s own scruples when tempers are flaring.  On the other hand a patient and reasoned response is what each individual is challenged to fashion every day of their life.

     You know this, Henry.  You know this well …very well.  So please put into practice what the rest us tried to learn growing up playing your aptly named game.  We (the growing multitude of internet users) need role models – desperately.  Walking your talk has never been so important, so please give us your best, and fix this situation now.  Only you can do it.

Very sincerely,

ANONYMOUS for Responsible Internet Journalism

"There is no witness so terrible and no accuser so powerful as conscience which dwells within us."
~ Sophocles

    Henry Makow, we ask you again: What kind of Pied Piper do you want to be when you grow up?

Deborah Dupre: A Pathological Liar Using the Internet to Conduct Character Assassination

Why does Examiner.com allow a proven and serial prevaricator - DEBORAH DUPRE - to commit character assassination?


It is an extremely sad state of affairs when paid citizen 'reporters' are allowed to fabricate stories out of thin air and then post these defamation of character pieces on the internet with apparent impunity.  There have been a flurry of lawsuits recently filed and won by those who have been victims of this sordid behavior.  One such case, which has yet to be litigated, is that of Deborah Dupre, a self avowed 'human rights advocate' who uses her platform at Examiner.com to launch falsehood-ridden tirades against those with whom she disagrees or doesn't like.  She utilizes her poison pen to commit character assassination against any victim she chooses, and publishes them on her reporter's page at Examiner.com to give her contemptible journalism the veneer of real reporting.

Examiner.com is a division of Clarity Media Group, LLC one of Philip Anschutz's online businesses.  It has been brought to the attention of Examiner.com and in particular, Deborah Shinbein, Legal Counsel, that they have a rogue reporter on their payroll.  However, just like Penn State, they refuse to admit the existence of a serial offender in their midst; in this case, one who destroys reputations, ruins careers and causes irreparable harm to innocent people.  Where Penn State chose to never take the appropriate action which would have prevented much pain and suffering among the youth who were victimized in that pedophilia scandal, Examiner.com will be forced to confront their gross negligence before the perpetrator continues her internet-based crime spree.

Deborah Dupre is currently under an investigation for crimes which rise to the level of a criminal prosecution for defamation of character by libel and slander.  Therefore, Examiner.com and its various agents will likewise be held accountable, in both the criminal and civil arenas, for harboring such a miscreant and providing her an umbrella of legitimacy.  The internet is fraught with thoroughly depraved characters like Dupre; therefore, ANONYMOUS for Responsible Internet Journalism will proceed with an unprecedented internet campaign to ferret out those who use the internet to libel and slander the innocent, the courageous and those who have been unjustly injured for life.

For those uninitiated in the workings of such sociopathic behavior and psychopathic personalities the following website of Deborah Dupre displays the shocking audacity with which she seeks to divert attention from her despicable misdeeds.  The site is entitled Target Individuals Canada (TIC) and presents Dupre as one who has been "targeted by organized stalking and electronic harassment as well as people who supports the TI community and who believe these criminal activities are a violation of human rights legislations in Canada and around the globe." So, here we have an individual who routinely engages in abusive internet conduct, which has been construed by many as knowingly disseminating falsehoods, plagiarism, and criminal defamation of character among other serious transgressions.  Then, she hides behind the cloak of what appears to be a very legitimate and well meaning organization such as TIC.

Clearly the time has come to expose this charade for what it is.  And, to reveal the truth about why, really, Examiner.com has willfully chosen to protect one who has been proven to be a "Pathological Liar, Serial Plagiarist and Character Assassin".  We perform this service with the hope that others will be saved from such destructive and malevolent behavior.  Many feel that Deborah Dupre, like those who were directly involved with the Penn State scandal, ought to be in prison far away from a computer where she can no longer assassinate any individual she targets.

Enough is enough, and we call upon those responsible at Examiner.com and Clarity Digital Group to take the appropriate measures rather than participate in a conspiracy to defame the good name of those who serve their communities honorably.

For those who might cross paths with Dupre in the future here is the photo that she often posts on the internet.

 However, the following picture appears to be a much more current so as not to be caught unaware.

In closing, ANONYMOUS for Responsible Internet Journalism has chosen to use the example of Deborah Dupre (and by association Examiner.com) of what will, categorically, no longer be tolerated in the future.  If the Internet is to remain a place of civil discourse, debate and dissemination then "internet writers gone mad" cannot be allowed to take over this vitally important public forum.  We have already seen what happens when the craziest among us have taken over the asylum in many other spheres of life.


MEMO to: Deborah Shinbein, Rick Blair and Philip Anschutz

FROM: ANONYMOUS for Responsible Internet Journalism

RE: Guilty by Association

Date: December 28, 2011

As the officers-in-charge of both Examiner.com and Clarity Media Group, LLC it is incumbent upon you to take the appropriate remedial measures regarding the concerned Examiner, Deborah Dupre.  It is our understanding that, not only have you failed in this regard, but you have willfully enabled the ongoing conduct of this rogue citizen reporter.

Therefore, please be aware that each of you will be be held personally responsible for her flagrant misconduct.  Exactly how your individual accountability, as well as corporate accountability, will be dealt with will soon be revealed.  Please be aware that since all three of you are now privy to this criminal behavior (which ought to be completely unacceptable to every alternative news website) your culpability and complicity will increase with each passing week.

Likewise, our response to your inaction will proportionately increase and ....
