The Streisand Effect in action
Feb. 24th, 2015 08:21 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Someone calling themselves "BillCaseyHoneyPot" and "the rodeo clown" made some comments to the Washington Post about alleged past covert operations, the Washington Post scrubbed the comments, Cryptome republished them, and Network Solutions blocked access to Cryptome (likely a coincidence -- see note at bottom of this post). Copies of the comments are held at SkidPaste and Archive.today. The comments look like the ramblings of a total crank and touch on several subjects:
- A DARPA data harvesting project called GROVER that was capable of recreating the Washington Post's internal database in 2005
- A satellite called Big Bird that could read the label off a golf ball from orbit
- A satellite called SK-91 that orbits three times a day
- A key: E4A966FF04DD296A41F5AAD497C64494 that should "scare the hell out of the CIA"
- A 3/4 inch "Helms tape" that, if it were released publicly, would put Henry Kissinger and Porter Goss on death row, implicate Donald Rumsfeld and Richard Cheney, and collapse the US dollar and make everyone go over to LlamaCoin, a cryptocurrency for people who don't think Dogecoin sounds dorky enough
- Porter Goss "should be very grateful" that someone named Roman "is controlled"
- Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid, who he claims the NSA is making no effort to track
- "Kabul - Kazakhstan - Unocal - Bearden - NORTH"
- "16 people shot" in Balochistan after Timothy L. Towell is dispatched there by Hillary Clinton, possibly a reference to an incident in 2010
- Towell drugging a man and tying him to a bed in Uruguay.
There is no evidence online that this ever happened.[Edit Mar 2] The location was Paraguay, and Towell was charged with rape. - The assassination of Northern Alliance commander Ahmad Shah Massoud. He claims the CIA did it and that he has a full trail of documentation.
About the author:
- He claims to have participated in talks by the Helmand Valley with North (Oliver?), Casey (Bill?), and Bush (George Sr?).
- He claims to have enrolled at a university in Pennsylvania at 12 years old in 1973, which should make it easy to identify him.
- He he claims to have taken the Helms tape in his first year at university.
- He doesn't know how to use Youtube or else that tape would be online already.
- He claims to have "taken everything from Loftus's computer", a possible reference to CIA historian John Loftus [Edit March 4] whose book he recommends. He is also a fan of Bodansky and avacados.
- He claims that the Department of Justice is tracking him for talking to Edward Snowden.
It's possible that this is a real spook going senile or drunkposting, but it has a very crankish feeling to it.
Llamacoin is a nearly blank webpage with the text "You may also know Llamacoin by the name of TurtleCalabrese Coin." About which no, you may not have because no one else on the web has ever mentioned TurtleCalabrese Coin or any variation of Turtle Calabrese. There is another Llamacoin related to an Andres Abad in South America, but this seems to be a different person.
The takedown of Cryptome may be a coincidence. Reading between the lines of their twitter account, it looks like they were hosting the full-length movie Citizen Four and ate too much bandwidth for their shared hosting plan. The Internet Archive has also deleted a copy of the movie that they were hosting.
[Edit Mar 1] Cannonfire has additional detail in two posts. Cryptome sorted out their bandwidth problem and has a PDF with a bunch of his rants. Briefly...
About himself:
- BillCaseyHoneyPot is Timothy Felix Miltz, born around 1969. This puts the 1973 date off by ten years. According to his Microsoft profile, Miltz started programming Honeywell mainframes at age 9.
- "I started University at age TWELVE into the Computer Science Department at Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 1980"
- He claims that his father set next to John Kennedy for a reason.
- He claims his first job was to set the font for a banner at Kabul Airport.
- He often posts his social security number alongside his threats as if daring people to come after him.
- He claims to have "clout" with the owner of a Bentley that is never ticketed while being illegally parked outside the Locke-Ober restaurant in Boston. The restaurant had closed a year before he made that statement.
Who he works for:
- He claims to work as a handler for ROMAN, an acronym for something based in Qatar, formerly active in Yemen, and "far outside the bounds of DOJ" with the capability of launching drone strikes in Pakistan. He gives another name, SNOWMAN, in the same context.
- He raises the name of the International Criminal Court in such a way that it is unclear whether he is claiming to work for them or whether he is threatening to bring Carmen Ortiz ([Edit Mar 2]the prosecutor of Aaron Swartz[/Edit]) before them.
- He claimed to be aligned with Wikileaks, to have already delivered data to the Hague that would have led to war crimes charges, and that there would be no 2012 election. From 2010: "I am JUST an unemployed software engineer who just happens to be at DEAD CENTER of wikileaks."
- "I can press speed dial for Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Alsaud and bring and end game CHECKMATE move to DOJ - THANKS to their FAILED ANTI-TRUST unit."
Methods and capabilities:
- He claims to be "aware of every possible exploit in TCP" and to have "been THERE" in 1977 when Vint Cerf merged the ARPA computer networks.
- He mentions the word "tornado" in the context of surveillance methods superior to those of the NSA
- He again claims to have access to high powered satellites and other surveillance equipment: "I get 1.44 MM on the RAYTRACING off the windshield while you drive to work. CORNELL - TAX PAYER FUNDED - I get LIVE ACCESS TO YOUR CELL PHONE"
- He claims to have internet access to a UAC satellite through an unpatchable firmware vulnerability, and that provides access to EITS, apparently a satellite imagine system. He describes the satellite's specs as 3,864 RISC chips for video processing, 38 lens cameras, 5.8 petabytes of online storage, 20 centimeter resolution, 2 centimeter resolution on a "hot spot", and 23,000 miles from the surface. He says he helped build the firmware and can exploit the vulnerability with 36 bytes.

HEY - WE DANCE CIRCLES AROUND THE US CIA and DIA -
WE GET OUR INTEL
BY VOLUNTEERS
NO TURNING -
NO BENJIMAN's
V.O.L.U.N.T.E.E.R.S
Carmen Ortiz allegations:
- Miltz, under the name paindeer and signing some messages with his full name, went off on prosecutor Carmen Ortiz for threatening Aaron Swartz with 35 years in prison for trying to copy the JSTOR database. He names Aaron Swartz as a "valued potential asset" and "a candidate for onramp", whatever that is.
- He ties Ortiz to the October Surprise and Operation Just 'Cause and he made some curious statements about not liking Violet Crayon and liking Spring Green Crayon, as if these are code names that Ortiz would know.
- He tells Ortiz she "Can't rely on flights out of Logan" and relates this to "the deconstruction of Afghanistan". This fits with Indira Singh's claim that al-Qaeda has a drug smuggling presence at Logan.
- He says he will use "killing machines" designed by "MIT alumni", suggesting drone strikes. Drone strikes had been in the news days before he made these threats. He threatens to kill 27 people on January 27 unless Ortiz resigns, suggesting knowledge of a specific meeting and its attendees. Wikipedia's list of drone strikes in Pakistan does not include any on or shortly after the January 27 deadline.
The CIA and Afghanistan:
- He claims to have identified three CIA agents killed in Bolivia and implies that Ortiz was involved.
- In threatening Ortiz he claims to be CIA and takes credit for a murder at the Hotel Ariana, possibly a reference to an attack in September 2011 that left two dead. He references the Salt Pit, a CIA prison that had been in the news. He also takes credit for the killing of former CIA Director William Colby who died mysteriously in 1996.
- Regarding Oliver North and the October Surprise, he claims "North went through Herat regarding October Surprise" and implies that Tommy Franks was made a board member of Bank of America as part of the Afghanistan war operation.
The NSA:
- He repeatedly quotes Weird Al's "All About The Pentiums" in threats to NSA director Keith Alexander.
- He claims that a plan by Keith Alexander to centralize the NSA's data resulted in all of it being stolen and stored offshore his people.
- He pledges to "nail you to the cross of a new religion" about "sharing" everything the NSA has collected.
-
HINT - China went with PROPRIETARY EDGE ROUTERS
NSA ? didn't
WE OWN YOU KEITH
CHINA OWNS YOU - but I'm not involved with that.
That's an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STORY -
Turncoats at the CIA and State:
- He claims that Porter Goss sent a memo telling CIA employees to "play ball or get lost", leading many of them to turn coat.
-
WE HAVE SWISS ACCOUNTS FOR Department of STATE RETIREES PROXY OF SAUDI ARABIA
FULL TRANSACTION RECORDS
Why doesn't the NSA SPEND MORE TIME ON THAT ?"
Abu Ghraib:
- He blames the Abu Ghraib scandal on Monica Goodling and Lane McCotter
- In the context of Abu Ghraib, he blames Porter Goss for a "Tripod" scandal that Bush "intentionally firewalled himself from".
- He claims to have 20cm resolution video from Abu Ghraib that would expose war crimes not currently known to the public.
Banking:
- He claims that the majority of Countrywide's mortgages are in coastal areas because someone is counting on the properties being flooded by rising sea levels due to global warming, and that a Ukrainian scientist in Antarctica has guaranteed that the Pine Island glacier would break off and cause a global 1-inch sea level rise.
- He claims to have data involving Iran, money laundering through UBS, and a $238 million bank account in the name of Bill Casey that has not been touched. He also mentions "post Kenya" accounts in "1998 to 1991" that "just sit there too".
- He claims expertise on banking instruments:
I HAVE ROCK SOLID UNDERSTANDING of just about EVERY of the 300+ banking products offered at Commercial to Community banks - that is an area I specialized in - not for fun let me tell you - WORK - period.NO ONE at Treasury OR Central Bank has seen what I have - I've seen more REAL banks books - and I've WITNESSED PERSONALLY the HELOC madness- we're ALL doomed on housing - it can NOT recover.
- He mocks PNC Financial Services Group security director James Weslager for calling the police on him.
Etc:
- He gives a key 193CD0A329FE in reference to a Wikileaks file related to the Pentagon and Kandahar.
- A Tim Miltz with the same WRITING STYLE was posting on Veterans Today in 2009, which does not surprise me. He mentioned a "SKY test" offered by Wayne State University to detect "mutations in someone's chromosomes" caused by exposure to chemical weapons or depleted uranium. He mentioned "300 billion in Abu Dhabi sitting on the sidelines". He gave a favorable mention to "Red Mercury", which I suspect was a scam to defraud Russian investors, claiming to have a DIA document confirming the value of the substance signed by neutron bomb inventor Samuel T. Cohen and a mercury scientist named Dr. Szasz, possibly Andras Szasz.
- He describes GWB et al as "a coup by an ILLEGAL - UNCONSTITUTIONAL Christian fascist theocracy" and says "9.11 was a GREETING card from an Islamic theocracy- saying -welcome to the world of theocracies - hope you can swim, this is how we play
- He claims that Germany "did technically detonate a nuclear weapon with some success" on March 3, 1945. The claim appears to be based on a 2005 book by Rainer Karlsch.
[Edit March 4] Here's the same guy threatening Forbes a month ago. He goes off on them for no apparent reason after an article on a proposal to raise the capital gains tax rate. Summary:
- He raises Lockerbie and suggests a connection to Forbes executives.
- He mentions an "Angola proxy of MI6, or CIA."
- He claims to have keyboard loggers on every computer in Forbes.
- "WE ARE DIRECT TORRENTS"
- "HELLO LIZARD SQUAD" - this could be a shoutout, a claim to be contacting them, or a recognition of the Lizards attempting to contact him
- Something in an unidentified foreign language
- Oh comma ya na ma ya make – andanya tak shi no lo ma
- OH NA MA DAMIAKE ENDAKE – CANI STAI? OH NA MA – DAMIAKE – AN DEIN CANNI – STAI?
- the Moonies manufacture M-16s
- There are enough openly Satanist US soldiers for him to cast aspersions on them
- He strongly opposes theocracies, mentioning Morsi and the Saudis
- "Saudi Arabia WITHOUT QUESTION – was paying for suicide bombers and IED’s for roads to kill US soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan."
- "in just THREE YEARS – Easter 2017 – China will have a FUNCTIONAL mining operation on the moon" to fuel Helium 3 fusion reactors
- he has access to UBS banking data showing that Bill Casey was selling arms to Iran for personal profit
- There are 200 billion barrels of untapped oil in Kazakhstan
- He has that "one tape from the post Helms era CIA" showing that Porter Goss murdered somebody on January 19th, 1971 or 1973.
- He has MP3 audio of Porter Goss meeting with an ISI agent in August 2001, John Ashcroft knows of the tape, and the CIA does not
- He has the "Gehlen cache", likely a reference to the CIA's reconstituted German spy network after WWII
- Something about a "Chuck" in Guatemala
Here he predicts working fusion power in 2 years, five years ago. They're still working on it.
Here he says he has been studying Arctic methane deposits. This fits with his sat work.
Edit Apr. 29: The hacker Commander X claims to have "access to every classified database in the U.S. government ... given to us by the people who run the systems." This resembles Miltz's statement about getting intel from volunteers.
