The totally fascinating writing over there has me completely spellbound *cough*. The few times I’ve been over there, I quickly clicked off, because I had an urgent desire to wash my hands afterwards.

One time I went over there, and the person behind the blog had just watched a 20-year old re-run of some American television show and proceeded to blog about it in detail. That sure says a lot about the excitement they have over there in Transylvania….what he finds exciting is 20-year old reruns of American television programs.

And it seems as though the mentally deficient readers’ lives are just as exciting because they not only run over there to read, they SUPPORT the guy when he begs for cash.

He shares with his readers how his bank account is low so he BEGS FOR $. Here is more about the identity of “Soj” taken from KOS where an interesting discussion took place about him in December of 2005.

All I know about Transylvania (which is where Soj lives) is what I’ve seen in the movies–but–unlike Soj, I’m not going to weave what I’ve seen in the movies into my blog posts as though it were fact. Maybe the guy can’t tell the difference, heh?

You can click here and here for information at the Superpatriots site regarding flogging the Simian. Some of it is reproduced below. What I’d like to cover very briefly is how even though this person lives in Transylvania (yeah that brings up some images, doesn’t it?), this individual is stuck on Hollywood and dragged his obsession with movies into his attacks from his blog on Jack Idema. You can read this verbiage over at Superpatriots.us–it was written in direct response to Floggin’s lies. Some of it is really hilarious–be aware that this is a language alert post!!!!

********

Here is an example of how the Floggin Frauds weave fact and fiction and spice it up with their own blend of fantasy and speculation, adding the slander of people they don’t know, never met, and just want to smear them to hurt Jack and his men, and an Emmy Award Winning embedded journalist who just happened to get swept up in this. It is interesting to note that in Floggin Fraud Part 5 they talk about Jack’s fetish for movies and Hollywood based on the fact that he had several film posters up in his office. He did- Collateral Damage, Mission Impossible, Kundun, and MIB. It is a cheap way to decorate big empty walls, and put everyone in the right mindset to work projects that were in fact, basically impossible. Several of the people involved in creating this site for these guys have been in that office over the years, as have hundreds of US government counter-terrorist operators and Special Forces soldiers. The five or six posters in a 9,000 square foot facility added some lighthearted drama to a serious business where people and friends die regularly. The other posters, misidentified as film posters, were Defense industry posters handed out at the AUSA (Association of the United States Army) show in Washington and posters from military special ops suppliers. The same posters also adorn many military headquarters and TOCs (Tactical Operations Centers).

And, nobody should find this a surprise–these detractors left out a critical fact– the walls are plastered with more than forty plaques and awards from a dozen different countries, US Embassies, and US Special Ops Units thanking Jack and his group for past missions. And this photo is just one of three walls that are covered. Seems as though an active imagination is all this fraud has over there in Transylvania.

Here are just two.

This one is for the US Embassy in Haiti for actions during the coup,

and another from the Kuwait Ministry of Interior for operations with the Sheik’s Secret Service. The real “fetish” and fantasy world lies inside the mind of the Floggin Fraud, and the sources we outline on our lying sources’ page.

Here are some examples:

1. The Floggin Frauds named TASK FORCE SABER 7’s compound “The Honeycomb Hideout.”

we always wondered about this ridiculous title– until we watched blade iii the other night. a wesley snipes film about hunting vampires, filled with cool effects, bad jokes, and guess what, “the honeycomb” hideout. (Floggin Fraud 5).

2. the floggin fraud and everyone else keeps saying how 9 men were found hanging upside down in their compound.obviously someone has a fetish with the punisher, which just happened to hit theaters two weeks before our “arrest.” in that film the punisher hangs his suspect upside down and interrogates him. this is laughable. first, you can’t find a ceiling in kabul that won’t fall down if you even hang a big light, no less a person. Second, we doubt a person could answer any questions swinging upside down. Third, we are quite sure they would all be dead after hanging upside down for ten days unable to swallow food or water (they would not last three days without water), and fourth, from a purely medical standpoint, hanging upside down for any extended period of time (like more than a few hours) would surely cause a variety of medical conditions from cardiac arrest to brain hemorrhages.

3. The Floggin Fraud calls Minister Yunis Qanooni, “George Clooney,” in just one more obvious attempt to smear everyone associated with Jack or supporting them.

Qanooni is a fine man, a great leader, and an honest man, who fought with Commander Massoud for many years. He was one of the few national leaders in power that actually fought against the Taliban, instead of joining them or fleeing to another country. Hey, Clooney is a good guy too, but the point is Floggin is making fun of Qanooni apparently because he is a stylish guy who wears western suits. Apparently these Floggin people think all Afghans should be wearing turbans, riding camels and uneducated. That’s what we’re trying to prevent– that is how the Taliban took control in the first place, by turning the people against the west.

4. Continuing their fetish with Hollywood, probably because the Floggin Fraud lives vicariously through fantasy movies and people like Jack who are actually out there doing something, fighting this war on terror, and trying to help keep this world safe from another 9/11, the Floggin Fraud continues to relate all sorts of wild accusations, which are in fact, just fantasy scenes in films, re-adapted by this nut-job, with Jack and Task Force Saber 7 men inserted into the scene. None of these events ever happened. Like the film BLADE- the Floggin site should really name their weblog production company “IMAGINARY FORCES.”

5. The Floggin Fraud talks about Jack’s “shootout” with the police and how they couldn’t “walk the walk” when it came to real shootout.

Trust us folks, there was no shootout. The NDS (not the police) showed up with General Babajan, a longtime friend of Jack’s, who told him the FBI just wanted to “speak with Jack.” They were not about to get in a shootout with people they thought were their allies. If there had been a shootout, they would have easily killed everyone, and we do mean easily. Jack and his men had enough rockets, grenades, and belt-fed machineguns, all deployed around their compound, to decimate an enemy force of at least 200+ within minutes. Besides, there was no reason for a “shootout.” They were operating with the full knowledge and approval of the United States and the Afghan National Security Council, Afghan MOD, MOI, and Afghan Vice-President’s Office, just to mention a few.

6. The Floggin Fraud claims they are in possession of check stubs showing that Ed Caraballo was a paid employee of Jack and that he was paid to make a movie about Jack and his “freelance” terror mission.

Now, about those check stubs Floggin admits they have– First they were stolen along with many other documents from Jack’s office. So, Floggin is in possession of stolen property. We are fairly sure that one of Jack’s first stops when he returns to North Carolina (and trust us, they will be returning) is to file criminal charges against all those involved, and yes, he dos know who did it and how they did it. As to the veracity of those documents, Ed Caraballo was paid by the Counter-Terrorist Group to edit a relief video- the money did not come from donations, the money came from Jack personally. He earned it, and won some of it suing assholes like the ones he is suing now or about to sue for violations of copyrights and theft of intellectual property. So, unless Jack can be charged with defrauding himself out of a donation, not only is there nothing illegal, but in fact, it is incredibly exemplary and generous of him to spend only his OWN money on relief efforts. Ed has done video editing for Jack, companies Jack is involved in, and for many of Jack’s friends for many years- that’s what Caraballo does asshole; he is a real journalist, with a real skill, and with highly sought after skill. Ed went to Afghanistan to make a film about the War on Terror, and what we should be doing in Afghanistan, instead of in Iraq. He went to tell the story about how the US was deserting our allies, putting the Taliban back in power, and basically losing the War on Terror because of bureaucrats and America’s lack of will to win. Caraballo was not making a movie about Jack. On the other hand, he probably is now, and we hope Caraballo does tell this story someday, because when the lights go on the roaches run for cover and we’d like to see that.

Why did we decide to put up a website?

Well, to be quite frank, Flogging the Simian and the journalists that have lied in their stories have forced us to do this. We never intended to do any of this, nor did we ever plan on it, nor want to do it. We have been forced to do this. If we die here we want a permanent record of who lied, why they did it, and what the real truth is. We saved hundreds of American soldiers’ lives, and the lives of high-ranking Afghan officials, but the press ignores that and calls us scum based on the lies of known terrorists.

As to this prime reason for this SuperPatriots’ website– it is because a site, Flogging the Simian (Simeon, whatever), has spent the greater part of their life and time, in an effort to destroy us and promote a series of complete and utter lies, fabrications, and vitriolic accusations. The owners of that site, who remain anonymous, nameless, and faceless, hide behind slander, defamation, lies, and fabrications. They choose not only to slander us, but to slander American allies, like the Northern Alliance, without whom thousands of American soldiers would have died during the liberation of Afghanistan. This “Floggin” website is quite interesting.

Exactly what the heck does “Flogging the Simian” mean anyway? Whipping a lizard? Beating a snake? Masturbating?We don’t know, but we do know this; the only thing being flogged on that site is the truth.

Many of our friends, and family members, reached out to that website in the hopes that it would help us. This was never the Floggin Frauds’ goal. But the Floggin folks did a good job in defrauding people into believing that they were fair, impartial, and in a “quest for the truth.” There are several things in common between the “Floggin site” and several journalists (Mariah Blake - Columbia Journalism Review; Tod Robberson - Dallas Morning News; Stacy Sullivan - New York Magazine, etc);

1. They all lie.
2. They all quote un-named sources who refuse to be identified for fear of reprisals (do you smell bullshit?).
3. They all steal copyrighted images and documents (we’ll talk more about that later, and it is also addressed in the legal section of this website).
4. They all use the same self-serving sources (Ed Artis, Chris Thompson, Robin Moore, Joe Cafasso, Tracy Paul Warrington, et al.).
5. They all quote military documents that no one has ever seen, or proved existed.
6. They all claim Jack is a fraud.
7. They all claim Jack is an asshole.

Ok, Jack can be an asshole. Get over it, he’s a Green Beret. Now lets talk about the rest (that’s a disclaimer in case you didn’t notice).

First, the one thing that separates the Floggin site from the rest; the people that run it (Jack continues to assume “SOJ” is a male, so Jack can justify kicking his ass one day- in a purely legal sense of course in court- we just wanted to make that clear since Joe Cafasso is whining to everyone about being scared- besides Jack didn’t actually personally say this, we’re all just assuming it like Floggin assumes everything).

The Floggin Frauds make people think they are out there for the good of the world, on a quest to expose the truth, reveal the facts, and bring light where there is only dark. The reality is that these bastards lied to, and conned our families at a time when we were being tortured and beaten daily, allowed no contact with our families and when the press was reporting (falsely and without ANY evidence we might add) that we had hung our “torture victims upside down.” Please, spare us the bullshit. You would have seen those pictures by now, believe us. Our families were desperate; desperate after seeing Americans hung in the streets and burned by mobs in Iraq, blown up in Afghanistan, beheaded, and butchered across the globe, desperate for news (the US Embassy was refusing to allow us any contact with our families for the first thirty days, and no phone contact ever).

Our families and friends were desperate for help, and they turned to this anonymous, nameless webmaster, for information and help. And it wasn’t just our families. Friends, supporters, and people who lost loved ones on 9/11, all thought, from the first few “Floggin Reports,” that we were in contact with them and wanted the Floggin Frauds supported. The Floggin Frauds collected thousands of dollars in donations from people like Lisa in New England, US Army officers and Special Forces soldiers, investment brokers at Bear/Sterns on Wall Street– who felt the devastating impact of 9/11, and from our families (in fact, rumor has it that they made so much money that they bought a Bed & Breakfast in Romania). Then, as time went on, people started to realize that this Floggin cabal was not only intentionally publishing false statements, but was vehemently anti-American and trying to desperately discredit and destroy us through whatever means necessary.

The Floggin Frauds pulled them in like a Praying Mantis pulling in her prey. So this website is our Machete’ — put up to strike them down. If you want to help us then visit the contact us page and tell us everything they said, told you, conned you out of, and lied to you about. One thing we especially need are copies of checks or payment proof of donations sent to the Floggin Frauds to establish our fraud case against them. Also, any emails you have from them should be forwarded to copyrightviolations@superpatriots. By getting the actual emails, we can track the electronic signatures and servers and build a matrix of who sent what to who.

We need to get them into a federal court before December 2005, so any info you can get us will be extremely helpful

Sooo Soj, I suggest you go pray to St. FU, and I bid you good day.

Disclaimer: If you don’t find this funny, that’s tough. If you’re offended, that’s tough–nobody forced you to come here. If you have a problem talk to the hand.

URGENT NOTE: Floggin tried to defraud Captain Bennett’s mother with emails promising pictures of her son in exchange for information. If you have emails, letters, or faxes from Floggin, PLEASE GET THEM TO TF SABER 7’s LAWYERS. Also, PLEASE immediately forward ANY emails from Flogging to their lawyers so that they can get the digital fingerprints and routing codes which will be needed for Federal Court and Criminal Prosecution of the Floggin people. We pass Jack and the boys’ thanks on to you for this, and their grateful appreciation. Email any Floggin Info you have to: John Tiffany - Attorney and Rick Caraballo and put in the subject line “Flogging Information Forward- Do Not Delete.” If you use web-based email, then right click on those two links for the email addresses.
