If anyone following the @familyprotection tag saw this post today, https://steemit.com/familyprotection/@nomorefakenews/no-more-fake-news-how-about-life-in-prison-for-doctors-who-prescribe-psychiatric-drugs-to-toddlers, be aware that this is a fake account by someone claiming to be Jon Rappoport... it is not! What it is, is "Fake News" by someone attempting to cash in on investigative journalist Jon Rappoport's good name and reputation. @celsius100 contacted Jon as did @vickiebarker and this is the email that @celsius got back...

"i'm not using it myself. someone contacted me and said she was trying to figure out if i was---it sounded like she was trying to help...i don't have the time to use steemit---so the short answer is, i don't know who is posting my work there...

jon"

Now this @nomorefakenews person is circulating a fake "permission slip" to plagiarize Mr. Rappoport's work. Do not be deceived. This guy is a fraud and a thief... do not upvote his posts. I just went to his page and he's been getting flagged, so apparently he's been stealing from more people.

Please support @familyprotection and the REAL people who work hard to provide help against CPS abuse by creating real content!

To help clarify this is a FAKE account I just received this response from the REAL Jon Rappoport:

Vickie,
Do you work for Steemit? I didn't get that one way or another in our emails.
To my knowledge, no one I know opened an account for me, unless I casually allowed someone who emailed me to post my articles there---in which case I didn't know what kind of operation Steemit is. I myself did not open a Steemit account.
In your email, you asked me if "this is me." And it was. Meaning: your email came through to my email box. That's all. I have no idea who is using my name or opened an account in my name.
If I did give casual permission to someone, I had no idea it was this kind of complex money-making enterprise.
Does that clarify things?
If someone is pretending to me and making money, why doesn't Steemit shut them down?
What verification is necessary to open an account, other than email address? There ought to be something.
I post all my articles at www,nomorefakenews.com, and I have an email list as well. Many sites have published my articles. But not by pretending to be me and making money.
Jon

This is from @nomorefakenews first post... he's not reposting he's using Jon's name (you might want to let him know)

Hello Steemit Community.
My name is Jon Rappoport I have been a free-lance investigative reporter for over 30 years.

I have authored three explosive collections:

THE MATRIX REVEALED
EXIT FROM THE MATRIX
POWER OUTSIDE THE MATRIX

Exaclty, I left a comment on his post aswell, I found the use of "I" (first person narration) all through. a sort of scheme to prey on the personality of Jon. The guy is a fraud and liable to be sued for property and identify theft. He provided a stupid proof that was proof to nothing!

Thank you for protecting Jon & @familyprotection.

You've shown time and time again how much you support and believe in @familyprotection, this is yet another example of your dedication to this cause.

We are so blessed that you want to be a part of our community!

Thank you @vickiebarker!

Thank you @markwhittam for starting this community. We are all blessed to be a part of it. I am a Light follower I guess by nature and it led me here first to Steemit, then to Family Protection. The light is the only thing that can destroy darkness. Justice and Divine Vengeance Pursuing Crime

The @nomorefakenews was created because Jon was busy and the plan was to give him this steemit account with private keys.

I plead with Jon to post himself that it was WAY better then YouTube for rewards/income (I told Jon he could potentially make a Million dollars here because of how many followers he has) and he still didn't feel the Steemit Vibe but still gave me permission to re-post his stuff,

  • I was to include his autobiography with each post, which I think I did in one post but not all. that is my bad

Again, I did not say it was someone other then Jon in the Intro post because this steemit account was created by me to give to Jon (that has been a terrible mistake) once I was able to show him the feedback, comments and rewards($) it had earned or was going to earn.

I will not be re-posting further material of Jon's.

When Jon emails me, I will provide him with the Steemit Private Keys.

I am done waisting my day off bringing awarness to others and having to defend myself.

When Jon emails me that he is in control of this account I will most proudly promote his work.

Thank-you @richq11 for submitting this post with the #familyprotection tag. It has been UPVOTED by @familyprotection and RESTEEMED TO OUR Community Supporters.

"Child Protection Agencies" are taking children away from their loving families.
THESE FAMILIES NEED PROTECTING.

(If you feel that our community has brought more rewards and attention to this post, please consider contributing a portion of those rewards back to our cause.)

I provided what I feel comfortable in providing within the email consent with Jon.
Harassment like this will force me to not re-post Jon's messages to the Steemit community.
Is that your goal?
I can easily stop posting his valuable posts.
Is that your wish?
Three yeahs replies and I will end NoMoreFakeNews on Steemit.

You faked an introduction post, in this fake intro post you did not say you were posting on his behalf!

Busted!

Thanks @richq11! Unfortunately this happens a lot! We were sure this was the case last week with @healthimpactnews! but on that occasion it was the geniune hin.

I applaud you and @celsius100 and @vickiebarker for trying to get to the bottom of this, you have saved us a lot of embarrassment and also you have protected the real No More Fake News.

There are a lot of really good people on Steemit that work very hard to create good content... It really pisses me off when people try to scam the system. The post didn't even have anything to do with the intent of FP... plus it was someone else's work GRRRRR! And thank you Brother!

You can't profit from someone else's hard work... you're right, Jon's work is valuable- to him. You trying to profit from it is called plagiarism and is not only unethical- it's against the law! Jon's articles are his property and copyrighted to him. You better hope he doesn't want to pursue this- you could wind up paying big fines.

I am not plagiarism with his full consent.

You used his name.. you introduced yourself as Jon Rappaport... are you retarded? you can't do that!

No, not retarded.

That may have been a mistake, but I was not sure because it was a intro post for nomorefakenews.
BUSTED???
I do not know why SUCH hate here, I did have Jon's consent.
And if it gets to going to court then I will reveal his full consent email with instructions of what he wanted added into each post.

I did not want to fight or cause this DRAMA? what is wrong with you folks here????
I wanted to share his message to Steemit followers... ?
Say the word Mark and Posse....? I will leave your small town... was only trying to inform and share Jon's message....
If I was a SWINE I would not have promoted his website and provided those emails addresses of his.

Then why did you introduce yourself as Jon Rappoport? Why not use your real name like the rest of us and say you were posting on his behalf. The more I look at your bullshit excuses the more I think I'll contact Jon and advise him to sue!

Sue? do what you gotta do?
I used Jon's name because it is his information not mine. I am new to Steemit, Not bullshit.
I had full intent to give the private keys to Jon when he finally saw the value in Steemit.
I was NOT going to keep the funds from the nomorefakenews posts.
I reached out to Jon days before posting the intro post. but he did not respond back with corrections so I assumed it was good for posting.
Don't worry, No more posts by me... Steemit community can suffer... because like Jon said "I am to busy to post on Steemit" and "You have my permission to re-post"
Well, NOW I AM TO BUSY to share his knowledge with you and others...

Lol......let it go. You got caught.

Jon is now in possession of the @nomorefakenews private keys have been emailed to him.
Hope your all happy? the guy is busy as SHIT! dought we see another post of his, unless Laura his wife finds the time.
I was only trying to help the Steemit community grow by assisting the newcomer whales by getting the ball rolling.
I sure hope Jon continues this post.
And you all take your FLAGS DOWN show the guy how profitable Steemit can be with content like his.

If I were you I'd find somewhere else to run your scams... I have a feeling you're going to get flagged off of Steemit!

gosh this is unfortunate. i really like Jon's work and thought it was him finally getting on here as per the intro post. thanks for bringing this to light. i'll keep getting his articles through email. lol Jon is pretty generous and doesn't mind people sharing his work, but be honest about it! thanks guys! :)

Thanks for posting this. As much as I love Jon Rappoports work and want everyone to read it, this person does not have permission to do this, per Jon Rappoport.

I have the proof. You don't. Your move.

What do you claim to be your proof?

I noticed that person also has a low reputation score. I am thinking that decentralized programs only invite scammers. Why can't folks just be real. Thanks richq11

Beats me my friend... there's always some scumbag trying to run a scam. What they don't seem to understand is that by being real, you do better in the long run... unless you're just some idiot with nothing to say!

WELL SPOTTED! great work!

I can't take credit for spotting it... that goes to @vickiebarker and @celsius100, they found it. I just helped spread the work.

thanks richq11.. looks like im playing catchup!

Welcome to the club my friend... seems like I spend half of my life doing that!

I am a fan of the real Jon and also the real @Cernovich and @Stefan.Molyneux. Thanks for letting us know Jon is not here.

This character is a real piece of work! If you see his stuff, don't upvote. If Jon decides to come on here he will tell one of my friends ahead of time and one of us will post!
