I concluded that a public threat was not made, which occurred after I read both side's official statements on the matter. What I believe as credible is that Ben Farmer must have contacted an individual to manipulate Graham Smith. He believed he was being brought into a conspiracy to manipulate his life and derail him. Honestly, when you look at the texts that were presented, advanced psychology is being employed in the aftermath of those texts which is apparent in the response that Graham Smith is driven to have. By leveraging the Kokesh campaign's bad campaign branding strategy (radio silence and denunciation) in their favor, Graham Smith questioned speculations around the potential for "true victimization" which while not materialized apparent to him, were in actual material effect as he made demand after demand for answers and apologies. Ben Farmer could easily just say, look no one did anything to you, nor did anyone communicate a threat, so stfu noob. This is like where the illusion of being helped is the actual manipulation that is designed to finally silence graham smith through delegitimizing him as an outspoken critic. Farmer did actual reputational harm to Smith by ignoring his pleas. Using the pretext of a conspiracy to actually execute a conspiracy is a classic scam. Graham Smith direct approach and Ben Farmer did in fact causally put reputational harm into motion as that was his goals from the start. It's truly important to look at the timing of this article and realize that it was planned that this response would go out once the rhetorical trap was set.
Another newly minted account. Not following anybody. Followed by the same resteem service associated with @craniumgames, @iamthenerd, etc.
Reminds me a little of a comment left by “newbie” @theterribletoo, who only follows Adam Kokesh
Weird.
What did @theterribletoo have to say? Oh yeah.
Anyway, “moneyadmiralx” the whole “4-D chess” angle is wrong. It would seem to be convenient for @adamkokesh and @benfarmer’s reputations, however, if that were what they did (though that would also be despicable) and not what actually appears to have been plotted.
Strange.
I would also encourage anyone reading to starting looking through the accounts upvoting this post. You will quickly find the common thread(s).
Here are 9 points from my original comment
My challenge is what will be done to thwart the tendency of operatives like Farmer who go beyond political decency and start stooping to mob boss tactics.
You said in your first comment:
And then in your second:
If the lid being blown off was not expected, how could one assert the plot a mere “pretext”?
Are you saying that, in your view, the plot and threat was real, but then once cover was blown, the situation was further manipulated by Farmer to do even more harm?
In my view the plot and threat was real, but once cover was blown, Farmer manipulated the situation by not legitimizing your grievances and then trying to frame you up by using others to manipulate your responses until they could construct a narrative where you are the perpetuator rather than them.
Got it. Thanks for the clarification.
Whether he directly contacted these losers writing articles like this to do so or not, I definitely do get the impression they’re trying to “get a rise” from me.
I would start to use your experiences to do something constructive like start informing others about the importance of proper information security and start to add value to the discussion by changing your goals. At this point this is the best use of your talents and platform.
As if exposing this kind of evil is not “constructive.” Makes me wonder who is behind this newly created account of yours. Damage control?
If not, and if you are sincere...No way.
This is a disgusting revelation that needs to be trumpeted far and wide. To advocate a kind of “just let it go” approach is, to me, highly suspect.
As for cyber security, etc, I am already engaged in projects to that end.
Thanks.
I didn't really mean to imply that you should stop going after Ben Farmer, I was just suggesting adding in content that illustrates a more detailed approach on somethign like cyber defense, so that your platform, and your circle of influence can probably benefit because if they came for you then what will stop the next person from coming for them.
That should be pretty simple to do Kafka. Expose your hacker.

For clarification Ben is still Mia. My family and friends aren't doing this for ben

Well. Except Kafka DID do those things, didn't he?

LMAO! Why don't you just focus on yourself, Kafka. You're doing all this detective work instead of explaining the serious allegations being held against you.

kind of. this post isn't an official response of any kind. it was written by a family friend of ours.
i'm actually surprised that it took this long for someone to put all of this together... and kind of jealous that i wasn't. hind sight is 20/20 i guess.
also, i'm not sure why no one has "officially" said anything (aside from the NAP statement that kafka greedily censored), but i'm guessing that it's just the idea that if you didn't do anything wrong, don't be defensive. i dunno.
