The Byrne/Overstock/NSS roadshow has apparently moved to Investor's Village. Here is Byrne's latest spin on the Bagley/ASM story. It is eerily reminiscent of his explanation of how he both knew "Bob" and didn't know him at the time of that infamous conference call.
(Floyd: Note how Byrne's use of CAPS makes him look even loonier)

>>Is Judd Bagley an employee of Overstock.com or is he contracted from some other entity? HE IS AN EMPLOYEE. HE JOINED AT THE VERY END OF AUGUST.
Does Provo Labs offer support to AntiSocialMedia.net (either personnel, financial or facilities)? NO IDEA WHO THEY ARE.
Does Overstock.com (or Patrick Byrne) have contractual relationship(s) with Provo Labs? NOPE. NEVER HEARD OF THEM.
Does Judd Bagley primarily work from Overstock.com facilities? STRANGE GUY, KEEPS HIS OWN HOURS, COMES IN SOME NIGHTS, STAYS AWAY FOR DAYS. HE HAS BEEN LEADING THE DEVELOPMENT EFFORT OF A NEW PROJECT FOR US. IT IS PRETTY COOL: A SOCIAL MEDIA SYSTEM THAT WILL NOT GERMANATE OR HARBOR TYRANTS.
THE FIRST I EVER SPOKE WITH JUDD ABOUT ASM IS WHEN I WENT TO TELL HIM ABOUT THIS COOL NEW SITE I HAD FOUND. THAT IS THE SUM TOTAL OF MINE OR OVERSTOCK'S SUPPORT. WHILE I GRADUALLY CAME TO THINK JUDD WAS INVOLVED, HE NEVER ACTUALLY WOULD TELL ME THE TRUTH UNTIL RECENTLY.
HOWEVER, NOW THAT JUDD HAS REVEALED HIMSELF, LET ME TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY I WHOLEHEARTEDLY ENDORSE HIS SLEUTHING AND EXPOSURE OF GARY WEISS AND HIS VARIOUS MANIPULATIONS. AGAIN, YOU GUYS DON'T GET IT. WE CAN ALL TELL FROM THE WAY YOU FOLKS ARE STRANGELY QUIET FOR ONCE, AS YOU PLAN YOUR NEXT PARTY LINE. THE PROBLEM IS, YOUR PARADIGM WILL NOT COMPUTE ON THIS SIMPLE TRUTH: WE ARE THE CITIZEN JOURNALISTS, GARY (& HERB ETC.) ARE THE EVIL CORPORATE GUYS, THE CORPORATIONS THEY WORK FOR HAPPEN TO BE MEDIA CORPORATIONS, AND WE ARE USING THE INTERNET TO BREAK THEIR STRANGEHOLD ON THE PUBLIC'S UNDERSTANDING. IT IS ALL VERY 2.0. BE HAPPY YOU ARE PART OF HISTORY IN THE MAKING. << |
