Lies, Lulz and Lunacy: Romancing the Mask

This is an excellent and well written personal account from our dear Amanda Blackburn about her unfortunate experiences with whom I’ve referred to as “wannabe-Anonymous” members. Whatever you’re doing, stop and read this immediately. It will give you insight and clarity into the dark motives of those who wish to do harm in the name of good.

Behind the Yellow Tape

Part I:

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster… And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

-Friedrich Nietzsche

At approximately four o’ clock in the morning on Valentine’s Day, I stepped out of my own car, in which I had ridden as a passenger, carsick, head throbbing and confused. The air was frigid, the sky was uncertain and dark, but the view was nevertheless breathtaking.

We were away from the crime scene. That part was over, at least. Thinking about it made the pressure in my head intensify. I hadn’t had a migraine in over a year. My mind was reeling. I had no idea how to process everything that had just happened. I knew I was angry at Don, but I was so scared and far away from everything and everyone I knew. I was in way over my head. I wanted to vomit as…

Alexandria "Prinnie" Goddard, Anonymous, Steubenville Rape Case

The following Facebook Private Messages were exchanged between Joey Ortega and Alexandria “Prinnie” Goddard on Christmas Day, December 25, 2012 between 7:05pm and 7:21pm (PST) regarding Anonymous’ involvement in what has now become known as The Steubenville Rape Case. These messages are published by permission from the recipient and respondent, Joey Ortega. It should be noted that the typos and grammatical errors made by both Goddard and Ortega are left intact to preserve the integrity of the messages with the exception of the “Anonpaste” link which has been removed to preserve the identity of, and to avoid, by this writer, the wrongful accusation of a potentially innocent party. A redacted version is provided at the end of this post:

7:05pm

Joey Ortega

the photo we decided to put up on your site was the blacked out one, right?

7:06pm

Alexandria Goddard

yes I pixelated the victim

7:06pm

Joey Ortega

yes we did two virsions though. one was the blur the other black. the black was the one we decided on for the Hello Clevelenad post or was it the blur?

 

7:07pm

Alexandria Goddard

it was the piixelated version

 

7:07pm

Joey Ortega

ok phew lol

 

7:08pm

Alexandria Goddard

why?

 

7:10pm

Joey Ortega

because its the one Anonymous has been using. if it wasnt from the website, it could have be bad for u. People already think we somehow got them involved. A subsequent investigation compariong MD5 hashes of the photo will most likely link back to you and me but now we can make clear anyone could have gotten that pic by just lgging on and that we didnt give them any directly

 

7:11pm

Alexandria Goddard

uh, I am not involved in anonymous and will not be making any such statement about their involvement. I’m standing back on this one and if you make a statement about anonymous – do not speak on my behalf. I’m represented by counsel and if anything is to be said — they will do it.

 

7:12pm

Alexandria Goddard

whatever happens to those shit bags — is karmically deserved. IMO

also anyone could have taken that pic off of my site and people in that valley are so pissed off that they are providing info to anonymous

 

7:12pm

Joey Ortega

I made a statement that BTYT is in no way connect to them and that we did not play a part in involving them

 

7:13pm

Alexandria Goddard

i would say nothing about anonymous b/c you don’t want to get them on your radar JMO

7:13pm

Joey Ortega

lol, i also said that too, in not so many words

 

7:13pm

Alexandria Goddard

have you? If so, links

if anything I am protected by anon LOL

the people in that valley are not upset by anon’s involvement one bit.

if this is what it takes to uncover the corruption then I’m not sad about it one bit.

I have not seen anywhere that I am being blamed for anon or being involved.

 

7:17pm

Joey Ortega

no people are careful because they feel anaon is helping us. Again between you and me, im not really caring what they do to those scumbags but i would rather theygive me the evidence and not brag about how they hacked accounts to get it. they are rendering it useless 

 

7:18pm

Alexandria Goddard

i haven’t seen anyone blame me and I haven’t participated in back and forth with anon.

 

7:20pm

Joey Ortega

its just emails, texts and stuff. Some of them talk like they are impressed with us lol.

 

7:21pm

Alexandria Goddard

and a third victim has come forward.

[original link removed to protect a potentially innocent party]

they are. they are happy that the govt is being exposed.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have lots of questions about this as, I’m sure, do my readers. Those questions include: why did Prinnie use Anonymous to her advantage all the while disavowing any involvement with them when all the evidence points clearly to the contrary? (Did I misread her statement or did she really refer to Anonymous as “shitbags” then warn Joey to stay away from them?) Why is her concern in this exchange about being blamed for bringing in Anonymous and not for the wellbeing of Jane Doe? Again, why does she not mention “for Jane Doe” in her concerns? When Joey makes the statement that he wants to preserve evidence and that Anons are ruining evidence integrity, what is Alexandria “Prinnie” Goddard’s response but,

“i haven’t seen anyone blame me and I haven’t participated in back and forth with anon.”

The self interest is glaring.

There are more exchanges between Goddard and Ortega which raise a considerable number of questions as to what might be the true motives behind Goddard’s involvement  in The Steubenville Rape Case that I will post as the week progresses. As I read them I am left here wondering, what is her personal beef, as it were, with Big Red football?

For those curious as to the Anonpaste provided to Joey by Alexandria “Prinnie” Goddard regarding an alleged third victim, please see below:

It has been my concern all along – or, rather, since Prinnie abruptly left BehindTheYellowTape without so much as a courtesy call – that the probable intentional manipulation of the facts of the case in regard to what is now known as the Steubenville Rape Case would likely lead to a mistrial if not an outright Motion to Dismiss. And then there’s this…

Steubenville : The Real Story

As I think more about the Motion To Dismiss, it could a real issue. Here’s why.

I was at the last hearing in the case about six weeks agos and one of the issues raised by Ma’lik Richmond’s attorney Walker Madison was a continuence to postpone the trial from its original date of February 13th. That motion was granted and trial was moved to March 13th.

One of Madison’s reasons, stated in open court, was ‘three witnesses’ that the defense said they had just been made aware of.

Are these the same ‘three witnesses’ whose testimony the judge won’t be hearing because of the Kentucky’s judges ruling.

If so, this could be issue because the judge was already aware of the defense feeling they were important to their case and already ruled in favor of pushing back the trial date. So while I consider a total dismissal unlikely, the…

Anybody got a good Internet troll story to share??? You know what an “Internet troll” is, right? Someone with nothing better to do than to spend their time posting inflammatory, extraneous, and/or off-topic messages in an online community, (forums, chat rooms, Twitter, Facebook, and/or blogs) with the intended purpose of provoking readers into an emotional response and/or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion in order to feel powerful. Yeah… THOSE guys (and gals)!

If you’ve ever experienced the wrath of an Internet troll then email me at amy.burch.theyellowtape@gmail.com and be willing to be contacted via phone to discuss your experience for possible feature on a future episode of Behind The Yellow Tape. =)

Life Is Fragile… So Make Yours Meaningful

04 Monday Mar 2013

Posted by amylynnburch in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

Today’s post has nothing to do with child abuse, or the mentally disturbed, or sexual behavior, or anything related to my daily work as a private investigator. Today’s post is simply this: life is fragile so don’t waste yours on meaningless pursuits. Why am I waxing philosophic? Because today I have to pick up my daughter from college to take her to a friends funeral.

This young man’s death was not the result of careless partying or driving fast while texting or the result of some ill-fated parkour trick. No. He was merely talking on the phone with his girlfriend and simply dropped dead. At this time, there is no explanation for this abrupt end to an otherwise healthy life. He was so full of potential and it makes no sense that he is no longer with us.

So, I urge you today to remember that we all see an end to this life and none of us knows exactly when, why, or how we will cease to be. You have a choice for today: live so that you are a blessing to those around you; or live so that you will be remembered as a curse upon humanity. It’s entirely up to you the legacy that you leave. For Albert, he was a blessing. RIP~

January is National Stalking Awareness Month

Domestic Violence, harassment, sexual assault, spousal abuse, Stalking

It has been a productive yet challenging week.  Even so, how did it get to be Thursday already?  I have decided to step away from the Steubenville debacle for this week due to other obligations and will return to that subject next week.

For this week, or what’s left of it, as well as the remainder of the month, I will be focusing on the crime of stalking and providing resources on the subject to my readers.  Today’s entry will be short and… well, I was going to write “sweet” but that would be inappropriate.  “Scary” would be a better word.

I will return to writing longer articles next week. For now, I give you the follow statics and facts regarding the stalker:

RECON STUDY OF STALKERS

• 2/3 of stalkers pursue their victims at least once per week, many daily, using more than one method.

• 78% of stalkers use more than one means of approach.

• Weapons are used to harm or threaten victims in 1 out of 5 cases.

• Almost 1/3 of stalkers have stalked before.

• Intimate partner stalkers frequently approach their targets, and their behaviors escalate quickly.

Reference:
Mohandie, K. (2006). The RECON Typology of Stalking: Reliability and Validity Based upon a Large Sample of North American Stalkers,” Journal of Forensic Sciences, 51, no. 1

If you or someone you know is being stalked or is in a potentially dangerous situation which could result in domestic violence, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at:

Is It Worth It? A Lesson in Emotion and Ego Driven Action

Behind the Yellow Tape

Steubenville, Ohio, schools placed on lockdown amid increased interest in controversial rape case (nydailynews.com) link to original article

It is one thing to shine a spotlight upon something the world must see. It is another to light it on fire. Both may draw attention and the latter even more so.

However with a fire, though it may be more awe inspiring and generate more buzz and emotion and is guaranteed to pump people up with the excitement of the spectacle, you risk burning down the very thing you were trying to bring attention to, and unlike a spotlight more often than not, as is the case with impulsively lit fires you have no control over its intensity and its spread, and so you risk losing control of it and endangering everything and everyone around it, regardless if they had anything to do with the very thing you wanted to highlight.

Double Standards and Protected Identities

#KnightSec, double standards, Due Process, Justice, Rule of Law, selective attention, sexual assault, Steubenville Rape Case

The risks of compromised evidence in the Steubenville Rape case are very real and the more this nonsense with the so-called #KnightSec faction of Anonymous and those working with them continue with their lynch mob antics the greater the risk for the victim in terms of miscarriage of justice.  Furthermore, the longer this circus-like behavior is allowed to continue the more I think that perhaps that is the specific intention; to ensure that the case can never be properly prosecuted thereby allowing the perpetrators to go free with the victim left dealing with the aftermath for the rest of her life.

The incessant and willfully defiant re-posting of the Nodianos video in which the details of what is believed to be the August sexual assault which are discussed in detail only potentially compromises the evidence and puts it at risk for exclusion at trial.  This video should have been surrendered to police, not paraded around for lusty voyeuristic public consumption as many of whom having seen it appear to be quite entertained by this poor girl’s misfortune.

By broadening the audience from a few who should have seen it, e.g. law enforcement officials beyond the scope of legal tolerance, you have potentially compromised the use of this information within a court of law.  Furthermore, assuming that Nodianos is indeed referencing the video of the August rape, the victim is now in the position of being forced to re-live the crime over and over and over again which puts her at greater risks in terms of recovery.  The victim’s humiliation could have remained private as she began to work through the process toward healing, however; that private privilege has been stripped from her by “well meaning” vigilantes who are more intent on creating chaos at her expense under the guise of “there must be justice” and “lets DO something.” All of this has been done without a plan or any palpable respect for the rule of law and the requirement of due process.

The Steubenville Rape victim will be able to go virtually nowhere in her own town where her victimization isn’t the talk of the town.  As a result, she runs the risk of re-living this trauma repeatedly and likely for a very, very long time while perhaps sidestepping her community. Add to that being removed from the place of her community because the public have been unnecessarily brought in with privilege to hear and see the graphic details of her violent humiliation.

As Joey Ortega with BehindTheYellowTape stated clearly in a recent response to this issue, “In the end all that is accomplished are tweets, posts, etc that are talking about how cool these Anonymous people are for finding and posting and telling others to do the same, building up their self-esteem and dignity while chipping away at hers with each share and repost.”  And that, folks, is the limit of their knowledge regarding this case, how the law functions, and the true effects of their flash-in-the-pan behavior in terms of seeing justice prevail.

The audacity of these so-called Anonymous participants having the nerve to hide behind Guy Fawkes masks (the meaning of which is lost on the majority of them, I can assure you) to protect their own identity while they simultaneously parade the identity of the rape victim around the Internet without any regard for her right to remain anonymous is a slap in the face to victims everywhere!  This behavior at the very least is insulting to the Steubenville Rape victim, in particular.  How dare they decide that their own identity deserves more protection than the victims, a minor who has been victimized in a truly horrible way and is now being victimized over and over and over again thanks to #KnightSec wannabe Anonymous faction and all of the wannabes who have jumped on the bandwagon.  How dare they make that decision for the victim of this heinous crime!

In my opinion, as rule #6 of the “Rules of the Internet” states in regards to Anonymous, “Anonymous can be horrible, senseless, uncaring monster” which in this case appears to be true. This so-called #KnightSec faction – which I am still convinced has little if anything to do with the authentic Anonymous – has clearly lived up to rule number six. They truly are monsters!  Congratulations, opportunistic tricksters; you’ve accomplished nothing.

A final Written Attempt To Answer The Same Arguments

Behind the Yellow Tape

My last attempt to answer the same arguments coming across our mailbox and posts.

Yes Anonymous posting a lot of “juicy” stuff that may seem like new info and getting a lot of attention however they did not post stuff that we did not know or were not told by locals, and even had some documentation for that may have backed it up if given time to complete our investigative efforts but we don’t just throw info out there for the heck of it or to shock and awe the masses as is happening now.

Posting un-worked tips and claims and personal contact info is not investigation nor reporting. It’s just gossip, rumor mongering and endangerment of potentially innocent people. You don’t do all that if you are trying hold people legally accountable and cops don’t need you to give them addresses, the only reason to do what they do…

Behind the Yellow Tape

imageI thought a wise and necessary first post of the year would be one that addresses and some of the recent toxic and distracting drama that has surfaced last year. Lay bare my honest and direct thoughts and answer some to the pervading questions submitted to me about and then lay the matter down once and for all and move forward, doing my part to continue to strive and labor to bring to light a little more justice and truth to this new year though BTYT and my life outside it.

Many have written me asking about the sudden involvement of Anonymous in the Stebenville gang rapes and possible corruption in that community, my views about whether I feel their involvement will help or hurt. Others have written asking me about a sudden flurry of tweets and hate blogs looking to undermine my contribution to this case and the many…

This page is for everybody in the world who has ever suffered from Domestic Violence. It is not just for women and children, as men suffer, too. In fact they suffer in more silence than women do. But I'm tired of nothing been done and that victims are simply mere statistics in one form or the other.But together we can try to get governments all over the world to help now , before we are headline news this time as murder statistics rather than victims of abuse.We the survivors have to ensure that we protect the next generation of children so that they are not ignorant to any form of abuse,and will not tolerate it in anyway
