No way it's Dave Emory...they did an IP Traceroute and the guy appears to be in Germany. If you've listened to Emory's shows, you'd know from some of his technical statements that he most likely wouldn't be capable of this. I also simply can't imagine him bothering with something like this. On the other hand, the perpetrator of this hoax knows a decent amount about a variety of subjects (including technical ones). After sleeping on it, I'm starting to think he's actually some kind of German conspiracy 'theorist' who's actually been snooping the WiFi, etc...of some interesting locations. He probably saw a "pattern" and convinced himself he had to save the world. It's a very interesting thread to say the least. Forget whether Paul Wolfowitz has some "Hidden Hand" master plan...it'll probably make Dis-information History one day. -TD

Oh no, it gets really interesting. He claims to be an ex-German TLA-type (how many Ls do German TLAs normally have?), and had advanced knowledge of 9/11. That's not super-implausible.

Me? I suspect he just pulled all this shit from David Emory's shows and then added some nice google tech searches.

I was hoping someone knew about this and had already hacked this hoax,
If he sounds like Dave Emory, then there isn't much debunking that's required.
Food for thought and grounds for further research,
