Post by .Gerry's Worst NightmareNow you see. This post is a response to an innocent post wishing
everyone a happy 4th of July.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear reader, are you wondering WTF is going on here?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simple. This is the smouldering ruin of what was once a fine
_international_ flight simmers newsgroup.
These days it mostly has only two people posting here. The
newsgroup has devolved into a protracted back-alley brawl
between an abusive, lying, defamatory cyber-bully and his karmic
nemesis. If anyone else comes here and also challenges (calls-
out) the cyber-bully, predictably, he spits his lies and abuse at
them as well.
This abusive, lying, defamatory cyber-bully is Bob Smith, a bitter
and twisted Texan veteran of America's war against the people
of Iraq (Operation Desert Storm) who clearly suffers from a
severe case of untreated PTSD and terminal brainwashing.
Bob's aliases include Bob_Copter_Six, Gerrys Worst
Nightmare, Truth Sayer, GIRLY MAN ALERT!!!, FUCKTARD
ALERT!!!, ASS-PIRATE ALERT!!!, ASSCLOWN ALERT!!!
Bob is a white supremacist, war justifying, war glorifying,
capitalism-loving, Trump-voting, fake news regurgitating, Storm
Front, Breitbart, Infowars and Daily Stormer reading "patriot" who
may even be a member of white nationalist terror groups such as
"Atomwaffen" and "The Base" and who abuses and cyber-bullies
people who say things he doesn't agree with - especially if they
cast aspersions on America's self-serving, mass murdering
foreign policy, past and present.
If Bob disagrees with you he won't enter into any rational debate
with you, he'll just abuse and vilify you for daring to voice an
opinion his brainwashed mind has a problem with. Apparently he
hasn't yet heard of the First Amendment to America's constitution.
A perfect example of his insane lying is when, IN THIS THREAD, in the
Post by .Gerry's Worst NightmareNow you see. This post is a response to an innocent post wishing
everyone a happy 4th of July.
Now, readers will note that this is NOT the thread in which anyone has
wished anyone a happy 4th of July. The post he referred to was in
fact a response to another of his abusive, lying, defmatory rants, and
so, he is, once again, lying in his teeth. And that's all you get
from Bob Smith. Lies, lies, and more lies. Like AmeriKKKa itself, he
tells a lie to justify an attack.
(Back to the story now)
Bob's karmic nemisis is Gerry Binder, a bitter and twisted
Australian veteran of America's war against the people of Vietnam,
Laos, and Cambodia, who also suffers from PTSD and although
he has received treatment for this, the success of that treatment
has been questioned by some. His aliases include Walt_M,
Sygmund_F, Nurse Ratched, N=N+1, and GOD.
Gerry is an anti-war activist, politically left-leaning, and believes
that America's form of buccaneer capitalism is a toxic Big Business
scam that enriches few whilst exploiting the fuck out of everyone
else, both home and abroad. Furthermore, he believes that
America's military-industrial complex, as forewarned by President
Eisenhower,
http://youtu.be/8y06NSBBRtY has so totally
ensnared the American economy and its people that America can
actually no longer afford to let peace break out on the planet
because that would not only crash the American economy, but also
break the military- industrial complex's usurped grip on power.
Hence America's economy is dependent on conflict, war
(US-sanctioned mass murder), arms sales, and global dominance.
Way back in 1934 another notable American General saw this
whole mess coming. US Marine Corps Major General Smedley
Butler wrote the booklet War Is A Racket - you can download a
free PDF copy here:

It's no surprise then that Gerry, who, as a young man, naively
believed the propaganda that claimed he was fighting for freedom
and democracy in Vietnam, became disgusted with what has
happened to the America-dominated "West".
So, even in here in AGMSFS, history was always going to happen,
as it does everywhere and everywhen, and to fully understand that
history we need to scan a long way back through the archives.
Significantly, June 2001 is a good start point.
Originally AGMFS was a friendly flight simulation discussion group
comprising a mixture of international personalities with a variety of
skills and expertise to bring to the table. Everyone from airline
and military pilots with everything from Airline Transport Pilot
Certificates to flight simulation enthusiasts and computer experts to
hobbyists with a joystick. Everyone with something to offer and each
willing to help each other whenever they could. At that point in
time, 99% of the posts here were "on-topic".
And then, on September 11, 2001, shit happened. A group of mostly
Saudi mujahideen who were once upon a time Reagan's CIA-trained,
CIA-armed, and Saudi-funded Wahabist fundamentalist Islamist "freedom
fighters", a group that was instrumental in running the Russian army
out of Afghanistan, a group that was, by then, also seriously
disgusted by America's war mongering, self-serving and domineering
foreign policy in the Middle East, said "ENOUGH !!!" (in Arabic of
course) - and they flew planes into strategic targets in the US in
order to, in _their_ view, "give the Americans a taste of their own
medicine." And thus did America's decades-long, toxic and self-
serving Middle Eastern foreign policy pidgeons come home to roost -
big time.
Chalmers Johnson wrote an excellent trilogy of well researched books
on the subject of American foreign policy "blowback" if you want to
know a bit more:

And once you've got your brain around Chalmers Johnson's mind-
opening elucidations, you might like to further your education about
belligerent, arrogant, self-serving, mass murderous American foreign
policy by working your way through the following reading list:
The Normalization of War - by Andrew J. Bacevich
Dreaming War - by Gore Vidal
A Pretext for War - by James Bamford
Perpetual War [...] - by Gore Vidal
Secrets - by Daniel Ellsberg
A Bright Shining Lie - by Neil Sheehan
Body Of Secrets - by James Bamford
Rogue State - by William Blum
Rogue States - by Noam Chomsky
Rogue Nation - by Clyde Prestowitz
The Last Empire - by Gore Vidal
A People's History of The U.S. - by Howard Zinn
The Best Democracy Money Can Buy - by Greg Palast
Hegemony or Survival - by Noam Chomsky
After The Empire by Emmanuel Todd
Tell Me No Lies - by John Pilger
But the best book, by far, IMHO, is Killing Hope: U.S. Military and
C.I.A. Interventions since World War - by William Blum.
This book is a history of covert CIA operations and United States
military interventions during the second half of the 20th century. It
covers various US foreign policy adventures from just after World War
II onward. Its basic premise is that the American Cold War activities
abroad were done with imperialist motives.
The CIA thinks so highly of this book that they even let you download
a free, unredacted PDF copy here:

Happy reading, boys and girls...
Now, back to the topic du jour:
In the emotion-charged months after 9/11, and through to 2004, here in
AGMSFS, there followed _many_ OFF TOPIC and acrimonious POLITICAL
arguments. It soon became obvious that Osama bin Laden and his
"Reagan's Freedom Fighters" had driven the American "patriot" flight
simmers (not to mention "patriotic" America as a whole) absolutely and
certifiably apeshit.
It seems "patriotic" Americans are fine with having sent their
"finest" to kill _millions_ in wars of aggression their country has,
self-servingly, orchestrated over the decades, and yet they go
completely nuts when some people who are traumatised out of their
PTSD-warped skulls, lose the plot completely and go kill a few
thousand Americans on American home soil - by way of a gesture of
protest and pay-back.
Strange, that... it's almost like American "patriots" have no
capacity at all for empathy - i.e. they have no idea how people in
other countries feel when _their_ city is bombed to the shithouse,
_their_ infrastructure completely destroyed, _their_ house blown to
smithereens, _their_ mother, father, sister, brother is killed or
horribly and permanently maimed - all because America has decided
their country needs a bit of "assistance" whilst it steals their oil
or whatever else America was after at the time. Strange...
It seems, also, that "patriotic" Americans think there won't be any
consequences (blowback) deriving from their country's arrogant and
mass murderous actions abroad - all of it justified by a pack of lies.
Anyway, back here in AGMSFS, by the end of 2004 many of the European
posters as well as many moderate American flight simmers had
disappeared - having chosen to exit the toxic atmosphere created by
these "patriots" - an atmosphere in which America's ham-fisted
response to the events of 9/11 was "defended" by these "patriots"
launching vicious personal attacks against anyone who dared to
question or critique said ham-fisted response.
Thus did a hard core of a half dozen or so American "patriot"
cyber-bullies establish their grip on what was once a fine
INTERNATIONAL flight simmers newsgroup. George W Bush's "War On
Terror" had invaded AGMSFS. These were the "patriot" cyber-thugs whom
"Dallas" (Norman Edwin Burton), a Texan rabble-rouser, would later
proudly refer to as this newsgroup's "immune system". And they would
pile on with personal abuse and vilification upon anyone who
"misbehaved". According to _their_ warped perception, all was still
well in what _they_ now thought of as _their_ newsgroup.
The stage was set.
Gerry arrived here in early 2009. For the first six months or so he
was "well behaved", but by late 2009 he was getting heartily sick of
regularly seeing OFF TOPIC, American "patriotic" war crap interspersed
with OFF TOPIC misogynistic crap and OFF TOPIC racist crap, and so he
began to challenge some of that stuff, particularly the OFF TOPIC
war-glorifying and OFF TOPIC war-mongering type of crap, and - you
guessed it - all hell broke loose!
It quickly became obvious that calling out OFF TOPIC racism, OFF TOPIC
misogyny, OFF TOPIC war glorification and OFF TOPIC war propaganda -
and being critical of US foreign policy, past and present - was a
"crime" warranting nothing less than the vilification and
ostracisation of such an "offender" by Dallas's "immune system". A
gaggle of "patriot" cyber bullies had launched their "War On Gerry".
And it was not to long before 50% of all the traffic here was made up
of very long threads characterised by personal abuse levelled against
Gerry - with Gerry predictably availing himself of his inalienable
right to self defence against said personal attacks.
And thus A FIVE YEAR LONG WAR of cyber-bullying was waged against
Gerry in their ill-conceived attempt to drive him out. And the more
they abused him, the more resolved he became to prevail against their
bullying. Their disingenuous (and vilificatious) catchcry was "Gerry
is a troll".
In their "patriotic" hubris they imagined that Gerry would quickly
wilt in the face of their vilificatious and defamatory lies and abuse.
The fatal flaw in their "reasoning" was that they failed to understand
that Gerry, an Australian veteran of America's war against the people
of Vietnam, who was, these days, severely pissed off at having been
lied to about the need to invade Vietnam and America's entire Cold War
Scam, was made of much, much sterner stuff.
Not only did these "patriot" ABUSE TROLLS lose the war of their own
making, but their war destroyed this newsgroup. And, being the liars
they were, they blamed it all on Gerry. "Gerry destroyed this
newsgroup" was now their new catchcry.
If only, much earlier on, they had been civil in how they dealt with
those who had expressed doubts about the US response to 9/11, and
later, (since they labelled Gerry a "troll") if only they had heeded
the well-understood wisdom of "not feeding the troll", this newsgroup
could arguably have remained very viable indeed. Sadly, in true
American "patriot" style, they still blame everyone except themselves
for the destruction they have caused.
Sadly too, it's the only way in which they can justify their
"patriotic" investment in the deluded, megalomanic idea that America
is the rightful, ordained-by-God, master and ruler of the "free" world
- "and that includes flightsim newsgroups too, goddammit!!! Hooah!!!"
In here it doesn't really matter that much. All they destroyed was a
UseNet newsgroup that was probably already doomed by technological
"progress", but out there, in the real world, where those very same
"patriotic" attitudes still shape America's foreign (global !!!)
policy, if I were you, dear reader, I'd be afraid. VERY afraid...

====================
UPDATE: From 2015 onwards, upon the destruction of this newsgroup,
and to ensure that it remained a smouldering ruin with no hope of
recovery, Bob Smith keeps posting personal attacks against Gerry in
the form of vilificatious and defamtory lies and abuse.
And so, history keeps right on happening...

Here he is, playing dress-ups:
https://checkthisout999.blogspot.com/2018/04/the-truth-slayer.html
Interestingly, Bob is offended by stuff Gerry has uttered, but, for
some weird unfathomable reason (maybe it's a "patriot" thang), he is
NOT offended when his own country, America, does the following:
[1] Instigating and waging state-sanctioned mass murder all over
this planet to further its own corrupt empire and calling that
"fighting for freedom and democracy".
[2] Conducting, aiding and abetting assassination plots in other
countries because their leaders are not "US-friendly".***
[3] Training and funding people to overthow regimes which are _not_
"US-friendly".***
[4] Actively supporting and arming non-democratic, mass murderous
regimes which _are_ "US-friendly".***
*** "US-friendly" is code for "letting American corporations vacuum
huge profits out of their countries whilst paying local employees
peanuts and avoiding local taxes."
The only people Gerry (happily) offends are nutjobs who, like himself,
were once suckered into that mass-murderous shit-storm which is US
foreign policy, but who, _unlike_ himself, refuse to acknowledge the
evils inherent in [1], [2], [3] and [4] above.
These days Gerry's "offensiveness" is NOT accomplished by
participating in or condoning America's mass murder of millions in
order to "liberate" them so as to expose their countries to economic
rape and pillage by corporations whose major shareholders
"accidentally" happen to be mega-rich American citizens.
Nor by offensively strewing millions of cluster bomblets all over
their countryside which will continue to kill and maim innocent
civilians for decades to come.
Nor by offensively polluting their landscape with "agent orange" or
depleted uranium, thereby making millions of innocent civilians sick
and causing millions of birth defects for decades to come.
Nor by offensively using armed drones to violate another country's
sovereign airspace to assassinate "terror suspects" without affording
said "suspects" anything even vaguely resembling due process.
No, Gerry's "offensiveness" is delivered _only_ in the form of
harmless, tiny little electronic characters appearing on people's
monitors, tablets or cell phones, and his "offensiveness" is generally
only experienced by, and limited to, those who are apologists for
state sanctioned mass murder.
