I have to say I am starting to feel a bit overwhelmed by this case and the mounting evidence of a cover-up that is ongoing and which we seem to be in the thick of right here at this thread. I'm a bit triggered so reason says back off and do nothing but on the other hand, this is a discussion & others are involved so I also want to keep people up to date on my discoveries. So I am risking coming out with stuff prematurely rather than sit on it and have it blow up under me.
There's a website I came across:
https://dearmandoeshampstead.wordpress.com/ I have checked & this site is not affiliated with Hampstead Research/Jacqui Farmer, though Farmer has corresponded with this person.
I can't quote from the site because it relies on screenshots, but I recommend anyone interested in this case takes a few minutes to read the latest couple of posts. It makes a pretty strong case for a weird (though I suspect pretty common) sort of cyber-phenomenon of interconnecting troll-IDs whose footprints can be found all over this story & may be traceable back to a small number of "Hampstead-deniers," possibly even to just one, namely, Ricky Dearman.
I'm not saying this is the case, only that the site (& a couple of videos I watched, here's
part one) do give reason to wonder. One of several highly persuasive bits of evidence this site provides is the recurring use of certain words by these apparently different commenters, including the word "
conspiratard," which is a favorite of our own resident debunker, Jerky.
One of the alleged RD "sock puppets" for Dearman is Snake Logan, who has posted at the above-linked Jerky LeBoeuf blog, offering agreement and support, as well as a request to JLB to please obscure the faces of the pictures of Dearman's children.
At the Jerky blog, the one where he continues his attack on Hampstead Research, an attack that may or may not have begun at this thread (I've not researched enough to give a chronology of Jerky's debunking activities), JLB gives Jacqui Farmer’s real name, Charlotte Ward. According to Ward, she had been careful to keep this info private until she was hacked and her private details put online, she believes by individuals involved in covering up the Hampstead abuse case.
AFAIK this doesn’t mean Jerky is associated either with the hack or anyone involved in it, only that he is (in Ward’s words) “handling stolen goods.” Since we now know who Jacqui Farmer is, I found a piece by Ward that appeared in
The Journal of Contemporary Religion, called "
The Emergence of Conspirituality" (It's not relevant to this thread but it does provide evidence that "Jacqui Farmer" is very far from the Christian crackpot or "conspiratard" that JLB & et al. would have us see her as).
Needless to say, this is all pretty sensitive stuff from various different angles. This post isn't meant in an accusatory way. I just think there are quite a few red flags here and that anyone participating at the thread will want to look at this new material and make up their own minds about what may or may not be going on at this thread.
It is a lot easier to fool people than show them how they have been fooled.
