Story here:
There’s no independent verification for this story AFAICT. I’m Pitting Feeley if it’s made up, these mysterious MIBs if it’s for real. Good RO material either way.
“…apparently in the employ of the U.S. government…” gives me pause.
There have been and are currently lots and lots of anti-war, anti-Bush, anti-government websites and materials out there…why the suppression here?
Where are all the other stories from other webmasters being threatened?
I’ll have to clicky linky to see if this guy’s site is any more inflammatory or “closer to the truth” than anyone else’s.
EDIT: Nope, seems like pretty standard fare. Maybe in all his shit-slinging he stumbled upon something that stuck and pissed off the higher-ups? Maybe his website is the first to be assualted in a series of jack-booted attempts to threaten others that run similar websites?
Maybe it’s all a bunch of bullshit for publicity?
This sets off my bullshit alarm, big-time.
No, actually, it isn’t.
What did she expect the FBI to do? Why didn’t she call the police?
Please. :rolleyes:
I’m going to ask for verification from a secondary source.
I like the “apparently in the employ of the U.S. Government” bit. Because only government agents have guns and laptops?
Maybe when the thugs are saying, “You need to stop what you’re doing on the Internet,” they are actually threatening this gentleman with assault if he continues running a website that looks like it was stolen from 1995. Plus, considering the design, it ought to be about chemtrails.
Shit, I looked at that website for 14 seconds and I started feeling violent.
What do you mean?
It was the FBI threatening him!
Word, I took one look at the website and started looking for the “Republicrats CAUSED 9/11!!!1!” articles. Whoever designed that website needs to start remembering to take his Ritalin. Maybe take an information architecture class?
Tom Feeley has endured public harassment, home invasions, death threats and threats to his family for being an annoying little fuckwit. If guys like Tom want to protest the war, they should stop making guys like me want go down to Homeland Security and sign up just to piss them off.
No matter how crazy or annoying he is, he still has the right to be free of threats and harrassment, Linty.
I’m not buying that the government is threatening this guy, but it’s still possible that some random fucks decided to do it on their own. Right now, there’s not enough information to know what, if anything, actually happened.
Bricker is right that calling the FBI makes no sense, but if it’s a nutty, conspiracy-minded couple, they might still do it.
Right now, I’m going to say that it’s just this side of plausible that some idiots might try to intimidate this guy on their own, it’s well on the other side of plausible that the government would do it, and it’s more than plausible that they made the whole thing up (or perhaps, their paranoid imaginations exaggerated something innocuous into something sinister).
Did I say otherwise? I believe that Phred Phelps and his silly phucked-up family have every right to protest the funerals of homosexuals, but if they happened to get their asses handed to them it will be because they’re annoying too. I would support the prosecution of anyone who harmed them, but it’s not like I’m going to feel too sorry for the WBC.
This guy is not nearly as malignant as the WBC, of course, but he is an annoying little asshole, and shit like blaming it on the FBI or gummint doesn’t exactly help his case.
You can tell if it’s really FBI agents by listening for “Yakety Sax” playing in the background.
Maybe he accidentally figured out a plot to assassinate the president via Space Shuttle-induced earthquake, and it was actually Patrick Stewart and two of his friends who visited his house that night!
He was working with Jeff Goldblum and they found a “countdown signal” from our satellites…
The well-dressed men had already fled on the backs of magical flying unicorns that live by inhaling chemtrails.

I wouldn’t be stunned with amazement if there actually were people in his kitchen,friends of his pulling a stunt to try and make it seem as though his stuff was hardcore rather then the childish tripe it actually is.
In my younger days I was extremely interestedin U.F.Os and did actually believe that some of the reports of MIB were actually true though again I always believed that the mysterious strangers were U.F.O. nuts attempting to sow the seeds in peoples minds of a government conspiracy.
The reasoning being if theres no truth in the UFO reports then why bother to try and hush it up?
The basic error with that was strangers from nowhere telling people to keep quiet about what they had seen or else…
(Though funnily enough the "or else " never happened,not even once, inspite of the witnesses not only quite happily telling the whole world about what they thought they had seen but also all the details about their menacing visitors.There might be some purpose in making empty threats a few times at the start of the phenonema but every single time? Completely pointless)
…served only to draw attention to to something that would otherwise be forgotten in a very short time but i suppose it did (and does)sell a few more books
Any "secret bureau"so consistently inept over such a long period of time should be sacked and save the U.S. taxpayer a few bob.
Well, this story will certainly get him some hits.
I wonder if these agents looked like Alex Trebek and Jesse Ventura?
His wife then ate piece after piece of sweet potato pie.
