It can't be avoided to mention that certain people have already
shamefully used his death as a weapon to demoralize and defame
myself and others who -- like Ron -- spoke out about what they
knew and believed. But it is my hope this testimony speaks for
itself and nothing more needs be said. I was even restrained in
not tainting my words about Ronald with details that most
assuredly would incriminate those who deserve it.
I took me a while to settle into doing this partly because I was
apprehensive, knowing that sick minds will pick every word and
detail of it apart the moment it hits their screen, with any
concocted creations imaginable (and unimaginable) to spew against
me. Their opinions -- sometimes mouthfuls of dung, sometimes with
a silver tongue -- are forever unfounded and with only this
purpose: to hurt and deceive. I'm not playing that game. It has
always been my natural inclination to make sure truth is spoken
next to each lie, but I could spend the rest of my life debunking
every slander, to little benefit -- and that diversion is likely
their dark intention. I realize more than ever none of it is
worthy of response and best left to rot in their own reputations.
I will not be so distracted from doing more positive things in the
world. If any of you wish to say a word in my defense, I thank
you for your gesture, but it is not required.
-----------------------
So if anyone asks the details of whom and what went on that I
chose not to explain in the video, let them find this post.
I didn't visit the newsgroup for some time, and don't know if
anyone was aware of the phone and email communications between
Palmer and Ron a while back, which was the real reason he backed
off from being a critic for a while. (I will neither confirm nor
deny records of the conversations or their form, but pieces and
mentions of them can be found in some old posts as well as what I
write below ...)
(1) Rough summary: According to Ronald, Palmer initiated phone
contact with him to buddy up with him, talking of gardening,
sending him seeds, etc. in part to convince him to take down the
course materials from public view. The tactic was to "negotiate"
over what lies and defamatory rumors Palmer would remove from his
report about Ron if he complied with this and other demands. He
also received directly from Palmer a news article interviewing
Ronald that was "anonymously" -- one posted a day or two later
when Ronald refused to comply further. (So yes, between this and
other things, we know within reason who some of the anonymous
Avatar posters are.) The article, which was an interview about
the difficulty of his lifestyle, wasn't defamatory by itself, but
Palmer's use of it was a clear tactic to embarrass him, at least
from his worldly perspective.
(This whole thing is ironic considering Eldon Braun is repeatedly
accused of blackmail on the basis that he offered to cease
criticism when other victims were compensated, and at no benefit
to him nonetheless.)
There is a lot more people don't know, some of which I may never
share, and some I may choose to tell. This is the rest that I
will tell for now:
(2) Ronald and someone else related to Avatar created a joke email
with sexual puns and explicit images. He sent them to a handful
of masters who had harassed him personally for speaking out,
particularly those who attacked his homosexuality. The other
person -- not one of the "usual suspects" and whose identity may
only be known to me -- was the one who sent it out through the
whole network, using a master email list that several critics have
copies of. If anything, Ronald claimed more responsibility than
he should for that action, but the detail in Palmers report was
still a lie.
Also note that according to Ron, one WAS sent to Wayne McMahon by
him, using only the email address he uses on ACA. When I
confronted him with Wayne's questionable truth about his children
being exposed to the email, and another master assuming it was
sent to them directly instead of an over-the-shoulder mishap at
the McMahon household, Ronald said he wasn't even aware of such an
accusation. In fact, there is no reason to believe anyone even
has those children's email addresses. In other words, it was a
stretch of an unlikely possibility to buy into a purposeful
insinuation painting a lie of the lowest sort, fear-mongering
Ronald into something he was not. But this kind of despicable
smearing doesn't end with Palmer's plausible deniability through
supposedly loose-cannon Wayne, as you will find in point (4).
(3) When Ronald posted a link to a gay hookup site some months
ago, some assumed it was just porn-spamming the newsgroup, used as
some proof toward the party line about him being true. What he
never told anyone (except me) was that the page of the site linked
to originally showcased a fake profile of Wayne -- it was harmless
tongue-in-cheek justice over his well-established left-handed
homophobic hate speech. No one got the joke because his profile
was either deleted or moved off that main page too soon by newer
profiles. But the hate speech against Ronald spun and spun for
its own sake, and like so many other things, those sympathetic to
Avatar were eager to accept it at a false face value, not knowing
or caring about the truth behind it.
(4) Lastly and most importantly, from both my research and
examining Ronald's explanations, it is evident Ron was never
thrown out of any course. He was refused taking further Avatar
courses for a simple reason: it wouldn't cure his depression and
that didn't bode well for other masters. Apparently being unhappy
is not allowed. Maybe they were concerned about his frankness
about suicide, and that would be reasonable if they had the
integrity to be up front about it. But Palmer refused to answer
requests for explanation when direct contact was attempted.
The crux of the matter is that Palmer's accusation about sexual
harassment toward male minors -- protecting himself from
accountability with the word "alleged" -- came only AFTER Ronald
became vocal as a critic.
Furthermore, When Ronald questioned Palmer directly (when they
were communicating later by phone) about who was accusing him,
Palmer reluctantly blurted a certain master's name (withheld
here). However, that master was confronted and neither she nor
anyone she knew had any idea what "Harry" was talking about.
Now this is hardly the enlightened, humble, generous, kind man
image "Harry" may have worked a lifetime to convincingly sell
people, is it? It is, however, the man many have come to know from
so many "non-aligned" sources, established further by the level of
depravity found in certain posts here and on AO over the years in
their 'anti-response' to real issues through unjustifiable
personal attacks. I'm sure that will continue to build the case in
the future.
(It is also no wonder his and Avra's public correspondence is
shielded at nearly all times by a layer of identities -- ambiguous
corporate representatives, privately-understood pseudonyms, or
anonymous hints. Even they can't be unaware of the embarrassment
and confusion and legal repercussions it would cause if they put
their names on such things, especially with those who might not
yet be to the point of believing everything they are told.)
--------------------------
So for now their game is thus: I am being ignorantly and
intentionally pegged as an accomplice in his suicide when
ironically it was people in the AVATAR "network" who threatened
his life and even encourages the suicide of critics when it suits
them. No one will blot out the record of that, and the more they
attack me (or his memory) with such lies, the more likely they
will find the truth published elsewhere to set it right by any
number of people. Call it karma's "discouragement drill", if you
please.
And like I said, there is much more that has not been made public
(with externally archived copies for safe keeping), but I'm as
tired as Ronald was with the whole thing. Enough truth is already
out there to hold responsible those who pretend it isn't there or
suppress it. People like the new people here (or Paul if he ever
shows up) are welcome to carry on with it, but that is where I
retire.
I may not have earned the merit badge of having a report or
briefing like Ronald, but I still expect that my name will be
dragged through the mud at least a bit more as I fade away from
this topic. I am confident it is self-evident to all that their
defamation is ONLY because I spoke unacceptable truths a bit too
openly around people with no ethics and no conscience. Such
things will continue to condemn them, speaking in favor of decent
people like Ronald and I -- It just makes the real score more
apparent to anyone willing to open their eyes and pay attention.
We've got their number, and it proves itself true over and over
with every post they make. And not needing to do any more on my
part, I will happily live with that.
That is all.
Peace to those who will have it,
Ken
