Let's set the record straight ChristianNewswire!!

*Note: This is an Open letter to Audra Jennings in response to this article , showing where she is obviously sadly mistaken.

Dear Audra Jennings,

I have seen your article on Christian Newswire "Atheists Plan to Hack into New Holocaust Video", and I would like to point out that there are several innacuracies in it that needs to be rectified.

For one, we don't plan to. We already DID. Several weeks ago I might add.

Here's proof;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSxfjN_wPRg

This is the youtube video I had released on Sept 2nd, revealing the so-called question that supposed to make a "180". Livings Waters publications, took offense to my spoiler and had youtube shut me down, regardless of a simple concept that you as a journalist must have heard of, called "fair use".

You can read more about the matter if you follow these URLS, which lead to my blog, "OPERATION 360".

http://operation-360.blogspot.com/2011/09/ray-protests-mite-too-much.html (Ray tries to save face on his own blog. Quite funny).

http://operation-360.blogspot.com/2011/09/my-video-was-restored-on-youtube.html


In retaliation to such disregard to freedom of speech, I sought to teach Mr.Comfort a dire lesson in not only respect, but also in the concept that he cannot intimidate his opposition with threats. I posted the FULL AND UNALTERED version of 180 to a Russian video sharing site (They are outside the jurisdiction of the United States).

Here it is;

http://rutube.ru/tracks/4791504.html

This is the FULL 180 movie, which I posted up on Sept 7th 2011, several weeks before Ray Comfort released his own. We also posted links to it on twitter and facebook, on their own pages and trends, and got over 1600 hits. Still I guess Mr.Comfort and friends didn't want to save "babies" before the 26th, since they threatened me again;

http://operation-360.blogspot.com/2011/09/threatened-again.html


Of course, I told the LWP employee to shove it where the sun won't be burning him, and called out Ray Comfort on this;

http://operation-360.blogspot.com/2011/09/putting-ray-on-spot.html

So there you have it Ms.Jennings, Those are the facts. 180 may be out but we knew about what it was, not due to a hack, but more to the sheer incompetence of Living Waters Publication Staff.

I thank you for your time.

P.S A copy of this letter will be posted on my blog and the link will be tweeted in the #180movie thread on twitter.

My video was restored on youtube.


I'd like to thank the people responsible at youtube for restoring my "180 spoiler" video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSxfjN_wPRg

As for those at Living Waters Publications who did this claim, while not understanding the concept of fair use, two words: NICE TRY!!

Putting Ray on the spot.

*NOTE: This is an open letter to Ray Comfort, asking for an explanation for the threats of litigation done by Living Waters Publications on his own blog Atheist Central.

Well then Ray,

I still await an explanation for the 2 threats of litigation done by the staff of Living Waters Publications done on facebook and youtube, more precisely in the "180 movie" review section after your claims that you "are not annoyed" with my mirroring of your anti-choice propaganda on Rutube.

As for youtube, it was a trailer that I had made in order to expose the "question" that people that allegedly made them from pro-choice to pro-life. That trailer, fell under fair use.

Perhaps you can tell us why you fail to respond to this? Where you even aware of such actions taken against me? Or do you plan to wait it out in hopes it goes away? Am I to assume that living waters is nothing more but a paper tiger?

There is only one problem Ray, two things;

1) Once it's on the internet, it's there forever (like a certain banana video).

2) There is no way you can gain any positive reactions from even your bethren on this one. You either pass for a hypocrite (for advocating free speech while threatening your opposition into silence), a liar (for denying any offense while your staff's actions say otherwise), or a coward (For not stepping up to the plate).


The ball is in your court Ray, and I intend to post a copy of this post on the WeareSMRT forums and my own blog "operation 360" complete with screenshot, thus proving that I have indeed submitted this.

The ball is in your court, banana man.

Have a nice day,

Ray protests a mite too much.



You know, I keep saying that Ray is a coward at heart. But rare are the opportunities for me to actually demonstrate how much of a coward and a loudmouth the banana man actually is.

Many times Ray uses this strategy in how to deal with opposition, to "make them believe they have done a favor to you".

Of course anyone who has read his books learns that it's all superficial and that anyone can read him like an open book.

Here's the proof;

If you've been following this blog for the past month or so, me and a small group of like-minded individuals have captured a copy of his upcoming schlockumentary. I haven't been secretive about my uploading it to a video sharing site that was outside the jurisdiction of the United States.

Hell, I have been promoting the shit out of it. Usually Ray "thanks" people for that.

But somehow, Ray isn't happy about me doing so. I wonder why that is? Could it be because I am an atheist and I have "spoiled the surprise?"

Here is the video that he and living waters have suppressed.





And this is the nice message I had from living waters, who disregarded the concept of fair use and the freedom of speech that he claims to support.



But that's not the real kicker. I expected him to censor me. He doesn't take criticism that he can't profit from too well.

This however, is more telling of his emotional state on the matter. The following is that comes from his blog at "Atheist Central"


Atheist_Central_--_Ray_Comfort_s_Blog__180_is_Coming__




And this one too

Atheist_Central_--_Ray_Comfort_s_Blog__Who_Could_Not_be_Happy_Ab




I mean honestly Ray? I am nervous? No. Amused? Damn right. I mean who do you think you're up against here? I am not the kids you suckered in your schlockumentary.

I am the guy who obviously made you flinch and is making you nervous. The evidence speaks for itself.

To Christians: Put your money where that big mouth of yours is!!

The evangelical movement is known to take a simple medical procedure and blow it out of proportion for a rather sinister agenda.

This agenda, is the control of women, and to relegate them to the role of brood-mare, makes them a second-class citizen. It is a form of slave-labor.

And here is the proof;

It's okay to terminate a pregnancy when...

When the health of the pregnant woman is in jeopardy, or, when there are medical complications that would lead to an unviable neo-nat or medical technology isn't sufficient to give a quality of life or that would improve a successful survival rate.


Here are some examples of medical complications

Ectocopic pregnancies
Placental abruption
Harlequin-type ichthyosis
Spina bifida
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome


And these are but a few. The good news is, as better medical technology is brought forward, the need for abortion in these cases decreases. Just like we no longer need to use leeches to draw blood or lock up people with leprosy in communes, we could make abortion a lesser occurrence with proper technologies and preventives (contraceptions, getting tubes tied or vasectomies).

Do you see the evangelical movement rushing to push and invest funds in such technologies? No. You will see them waste money in campaigns and videos that, while decrying the practice of abortion, do nothing except try to shame women and brings society back to the bronze age.

You will see the evangelical movement waste time at pickets, rather than volunteer in hospitals. You will see them do everything to boast that their way is the right way, while the results speak for themselves.

If the evangelical movement did put it's money where it's big mouth was, we would have cured cancer by now.

180: an Atheist review of the propaganda film.

FROM TWITTER:
"180Movie Please go and write a review for #180movie if you have seen the Trailer or have been given opportunity to watch the entire film....
"

Well if you've been reading this blog, you know that we have been in possession of a copy of 180, through the sheer incompetence of Living Waters Publications.

And since they have requested a review, I will give a review all right, a godless one!!


The propaganda film done by the same people who have have such brilliant ideas that the banana is proof of the existence of God, thought they would tackle the hot-button topic of abortion.

Of course, Ray Comfort being the master of clumsy argumentation, and with his tendencies to want to shock people, almost like an evangelical Howard Stern, thought it would be brilliant to compare the medical procedure of abortion to the holocaust.

The movie starts up with footage of young people who seem to not know who Adolf Hitler is. This rip-off of Rick Mercer's "Talking To Americans" pretty sets up the tone of the entire video, making you wonder how many interviews that Ray Comfort did go through to find absolutely gullible people.

Then we break into dramatic music with public domain footage of Hitler being himself. While Comfort begins with his flim-flamery, only to intersect it with footage of people who are about as delusional as he is, most noteworthy is a "Nazi punk" who obviously with his out of decade looks obviously never heard of one particular song by the Dead Kennedys.

Then after MORE footage of the mustached uni-testicular despot (Not Ray), We witness one of Ray Comfort's specialties, the bait-and-switch, where you see footage of young people, mostly young women, who are tricked into answering one question;

"It is ok to kill a baby in the womb, When..."

Of course, anyone who is savvy enough will tell you that in the womb and at the time most abortions are done it is referred to as a fetus and not a "child". But Ray is careful in picking those who aren't wise to his carnival-barker tactics and soon enough he gets them into changing their minds on camera.

Then we find ourselves subjugated to the patented method of evangelism created by Ray Comfort, the good person test, his famous rail-roaded form of dialog in which only one answer can be given since;

A) Ray won't allow other answers.
B) Ray will ignore any answers that don't fit in his script.

The only use I have for this movie, since it fails in convincing me of anything other that Ray is a scumbag, is to demonstrate Godwin's Law or show film students how NOT to make a documentary. Seeing Ray's performance and attempts at sounding competent reminds me of Shakespeare Macbeth famous quote;

"Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more.
It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing".

And that is indeed the nature of 180. It is a cacophony that will do a 180 upon it's authors, akin to throwing up in a hurricane.

Fetus Focus fallacy.

Excellent article !!

Fetus Focus fallacy

Why "180" is doomed to failure?

In his need to push the evangelical ideology, Ray Comfort, being the propagandist that he is, failed to see the mistakes in his latest venture.


1. He uses a logical fallacy: Reductio Ad Hitlerium!!

Reductio Ad Hilterium, also known as "playing the Nazi card", is basically comparing something one would deem horrible to the holocaust or anything that related to the Nazi party in WWII or Hitler himself (hence it's name).

With it, Ray thinks he can play mind-games and "convince" people that abortion is horrible, not because of logic, but more on playing with the fear that people don't want to be compared to Nazis.

Of course, most educated people are familiar with Godwin's Law and won't fall for something so transparent.


2. He thinks that Colleges and Universities haven't learned from his last stunt.

When he came out with the "Origins In Schools". People were outraged. And the backlash forced Ray to do his release early. While he thinks that it was some kind of "victory", he failed to realize that some people learn from their mistakes.

As the old saying goes; burn me once, shame on you, burn me twice, shame on me!!

After this stunt, many of us started asking questions. Questions like;


- "How did he manage to make a whole group of people turn on a dime like that?"
- "How is it managed?"
- "What kind of training is involved?"
- "What technology is used?"

This lead many of us to seek out the answers. To the point that we know how many Ambassadors Alliance members there are, What is the actual salary of Ray Comfort (via his 990 forms issued by the IRS) and other assets and locations.

We even know the contents of the School of Biblical evangelism. And from there, we kept people informed about Ray's tactics, methods and resources.

All the information was obtained through legal means. You can find out more at this forum.

That being said...


3. We knew about "180" ahead of time.

Ray tried to keep the 180 video give-away hush-hush from his opposition, trying to avoid the kind of backlash that made him flinch during "Origins In Schools".

The problem with Living Waters Publications, is that they are extremely incompetent when it comes to security online. In fact LWP could be used as a classic example as to WHY you need to hire people who have a background in IT security if you're planning to deploy in the cloud.

Here's what we found:

http://www.hitlersreligion.com/ (check out the project .75 link, it's an early "prototype" of 180)
http://www.heartchanger.com/

This enabled us to obtain a copy of 180. The password to the vimeo video wasn't even cracked. It was guessed (it was the name of the site). And it was only changed AFTER the fact they were aware of us acquiring the video.

The bottom line, Knowing all of this, would you allow yourself to be associated with such incompetence? This project of his, is doomed to fail.

Taking the fight to twitter

Since Living Waters Publications has officially declared war on women's rights with their latest propaganda, it is an imperative to take the fight to where they are pushing their propaganda.

They are using social media. This is where they hide.

Youtube

Twitter

Facebook

Take the fight to them!! EXPOSE-INFORM-OPPOSE!!

Links of interest.

Alright, a salvo of links to help you guys be informed.






WHAT IS OPERATION 360?

This blog was created in reaction to the upcoming give-away of some anti-choice propaganda by evangelical misfit Ray Comfort.



In reaction, this blog will serve as a means to centralize rebuttals that can be easily accessed via mobile devices! Imagine, your cellphone/smartphone becomes a weapon against ignorance, mysogeny, and superstition!!

ALL YOU NEED IS THIS QR CODE!!



From the opposition: "We have 2,000 faithful workers who are chafing at the bit to get "180" into people's hands because it has such a powerful message. These are the same wonderful workers who volunteered their time to give away about 200,000 copies of Darwin’s boring book (with the Introduction that presented Intelligent Design and the Gospel), at one hundred of America's top universities. Atheists messed up that giveaway-date. We came a day early and sent them in a panic."

This was of course last year when they changed their date of distribution (Ray in reality got spooked. That's why he changed the date. He didn't expect the backlash).

So now they claim that the Atheist community won't know when they come.

The truth? It won't matter. With the "360 method" you have your tools with you at all times and with the QR CODE, one can share the information with students, co-workers, and even perfect strangers just like that.

So spread the word and come back often as more links and videos will be put up to expose and oppose the superstition-based claims of the evangelical movement.

EDIT: here is an example of the QR code being used on a business card.
