Andrew Drummond to post bail on 'photoshop' charges in Brian Goudie case.

Well I was sitting after Court today in a beautiful coffee shop on the beach at Shasa in Samui and I could not help but burst out laughing thinking on how upset Andrew Drummond will be that a 'fake lawyer' just got him committed to trial on 11 Computer Crimes charges.

That however was not the reason for the mirth - the mirth was caused by a post in a comment in September 2013 that referred to the posting of photoshop photos as 'entertainment' - well that just blew the old 'journalist working in the public interest line didn't it!

The screenshot of the post is below:

Anyway, Andrew can now come and post bail on 13th October - he says THB 50,000, but I think it may be a tad more than that - and there may be a couple of surprises in store.

Oh, I nearly forgot - the guy that Andrew says does the photoshops, calls himself 'The Weapon" - or should we call him Keith? Remember these initials KWE, lives in Sydney :).

Andrew Drummond - undercover nazi mole? And who is Sonia Gable.

Well well well.

My old adversary Andrew Drummomd, who claims to have infiltrated the League of St.George in the UK in the 1980's and claimed to be the benefactor of the ' Maurice Ludmer Memorial Prize'.

Sounds like a great story - you will read it here soon!

And who is Sonia Gable?

David Hanks and Brian Goudie - first it was Google for allowing cyber harassment - now it is Bing, Yahoo and Facebook!

Well I have been deliberately posting on this blog recently and watching as the anonymous internet trolls post comments.

These people hide behind internet profiles with made up names such as Tommy Truthsearcher, Jules, Sam Kane, Ally, Sam Thai, The Weapon - all spend all their time making comments and threats from the comfort of their internet connections.

Fake Facebook profiles, fake Wordpress blogs, fake Blogger sites, fake Google Plus profiles - the lot!

It comes under the umbrella name of 'internet harrassment' or #cyber harrassment. In fact as of today we have put #Bing, #Yahoo and #Facebook on notice that they will be prosecuted for fake profiles!

#cyberharassment is a criminal offence in most countries, but difficult to identify offenders, although there is a case in Ottawa, Canada  that has just been solved that went on for 12 years.

Easy to make threats when you are anonymous isnt it? But, last week my friend #DavidHanks and I filed a case against Google, and our lawyers have now contacted #Google in Bangkok - the internet giant is expected to consent to a Court subpoena being issued for Google to provide all possible identifying information to help us track down the bloggers who are now using fake profiles and fake name.

Technical experts say that even if the bloggers are using VPN technology we should be able to identify originating IP addresses. If we can get an IP address, we will then subpoena internet service providers - to cut the technical talk basically we are going to locate these people and prosecute them.

Now ask the question - why do they use fake untraceable accounts with fake photoshopped profile photos?

There are two reasons, firstly they are low life cowardly scum bags who would never challenge face to face, and secondly they know if they can be identified we will prosecute them under Thailand's Computer Crimes Act.

The ones who hide behind fake names, you can decide - low life cowards not man enough to use real names, or credible commenters.

Brian Goudie and Cyber Harassment - The trolls are back again!

Bangkok, 4th August 2014

Just when you thought it was safe to go back on Blogger!

The #cyberharassment continues...........................................

The low life scumbag trolls are back, and the comments are coming thick and fast!

After it was reported that my friend and I #DavidHanks filed a cyber harassment case against Google it has started again!

Many thanks today to +Spinosa +knutsa01 +Ally +samthai +theweapon +jules +tommyweapon +tommythruthsearcher + Spinosaj without whom my case against Google would not be possible - and guess what a subpoena to get your identifying information is now on it's way to Bangkok Central Criminal Court - just sit back and wait for the knock on the door :).

All the same old rubbish, photoshop photos, fake profiles and anonymous comments.

The internet tough guys are back!

As reported here my friend #David Hanks and I have filed court proceedings against Google - Google are being prosecuted as a 'service provider', for allowing third parties to post unlawful material, and failing to remove it when notified - this is a criminal offence in Thailand under Thailand's tough Computer Crimes Act - in fact internet harassment  is a criminal offence in most countries.

I have read a lot about #cyberharassment, and there is only one area that I disagree with most of the material I have read - whilst I agree that most trolls are either mentally ill or just evil malicious retards, if it ever comes to real physical comfrontation, dont be too concerned. I have been threatened a number of times, and have been told they will see me when I go to a particular place - I have been threatened with this several times - a particularly nasty troll was +samthai, but his threats all turned out to be hot air.

I actually cornered one of my troll enemies one time after Court, and when I went after him, he locked himself in his car and would not come out - a hero on the internet, but a coward when cornered - and he aint seen nothing yet. This strategy worked for me, but obviously others should carry out a clear risk assessment first.

In the last few days, since  I started posting about trolls, it seems I have created a feeding frenzy, and they are back in force.

Well, not in force, there are we estimate 3 or 4 people with about 3 fake profiles each, and I am getting 4 or 5 comments a day.

 And yes, they are still pathetic.

Brian Goudie and David Hanks - more cyber harassment cases to be filed.

Bangkok, 4th August 2014

Last week my good friend #DavidHanks and I filed a case against Google in Bangkok Central Criminal Court - more will be filed in the next few weeks.

David Hanks

The cases indirectly involve a journalist working in Bangkok, Andrew Drummond, who was already convicted in Pattaya Provincial Criminal Court earlier this year on related charges.

Our case (s)  allege that a large amount of false material and 'photoshopped' images now appear in search results, and that a number of fake 'profiles' have sprung up, and that there has been an incessant campaign of #cyberharassment that has now continued for nearly two years - we believe this is being carried out by a maximum of around 4 or 5 individuals.



We have already positively identified four of the individuals, and criminal cases have been filed against two of them already - in fact I am writing this blog just before I head off to Koh Samui Court for a case today. Two new cases are being filed within the next two weeks against two other individuals who we now have details for.

Our lawyers have now also contacted #Google, and the internet giant is expected to consent to a Court subpoena being issued for Google to provide all possible identifying information to help us track down the bloggers who are now using fake profiles and fake names - technical experts say that even if they are using VPN technology we should be able to identify originating IP addresses. If we can get an IP address, we will then subpoena internet service providers - to cut the technical talk basically we are going to locate these people and prosecute them.

#cyberharassment is extremely difficult to prosecute due to the anonymity of the internet, but this case in Ottawa, Canada shows it can be done.

Following the first case being filed against Google, our lawyers have now put #Bing, #Yahoo and #Facebook on notice that they are next - there are now dozens of fake images, fake profiles and fake blogs throughout the internet, and we have received hundreds of harassing emails and messages, including threats of violence.

There have even been disgusting comments that involve my three year old daughter - and her mother has now also filed a criminal case to prosecute the culprit - that's right, a three year old being forced to file a criminal case to prevent #cyberharassment - that is how low these people are.

The #cyberharassment has now become so serious that the Serious Crime Squad in Victoria, Australia is laising with the Australian Federal Police and the Cyber Crimes Unit to attempt to track down an individual believed to be in Australia who is allegedly responsible for the photoshops.

UK police are also now involved following harassment of my family in the UK, and charges are expected under the UK Prevention of Harassment Act  (the web site at the centre of the controversy is registered in the UK).
