Hunting Eric Hunt: NeoNazi writes Hoax StarBucks letter..and Just Happens to have the attacker Eric Hunt pen a letter on his 'site' ?


The masthead of Ziopedia has been altered slightly to
more truely reflect the type of idiots that go to this site.


How desperate can a Racist get?

It seems Andrew Winkler will do anything to boost traffic to his Failing Flop ZioPedia.

Its bad enough that he has to break the law and pretend to be some one else, (He is the self confessed writer of theStarbucks letter, the author was made out to be Starbucks Chairman Howard Schultz ) now his resorted to 'fiddling the books', and trying to convince his rather stupid followers that there might be thousands on line right now.

He is also the self confessed writer of the Hoax Starbucks Coffee Letter.

In this letter which has been proven to be based on a fallacy, Andrew Winkler fraudently pretending to be Howard Schultz.



This is the letter to see a full size copy click on the picture.

Andrew just seems to not be able to keep his mouth shut.

In a rambling diatribe that appears on his website Ziopedia.org

From the Editor Andrew Winkler: The Howard Schultz spoof letter above has caused quite a bit of a stir. In the first month of its pubication, it has been read by more than 100,000 visitors on the ZioPedia site alone, and republished on hundreds of blogs all over the world. Some readers were not quite sure whether the article was 'kosher' or not. Well, it is and it isn't. Howard Schultz never wrote that letter, I did. However, all the statements I made in that letter about donations, sponsorships, political views etc. - are based on factual Howard Schultz actions and quotes, as 1/2 hour of 'Googling' will easily confirm to anyone interested. ..

Andrew Winkler
Editor/Publisher
ZioPedia - A Rebel Media Group Project]

_______________

Now I'm not saying that this two bit wanna be might not be getting more traffic than he has ever got before,(which wouldn't be hard) due to the mysterious Eric Hunt who just happened to write his self confession on Andrew Winklers Website. Are you getting any theme here? Any pattern?

Oh did I tell you that Andrew has a habit of pretending to be people he's not?

He regularly pops up in Left Forums posing intially innocuous questions that he quickly strokes in the direction of hatred.

Andrew Winkler: Is a Neo Nazi who likes lurking in left forums as a 'radical' throwing up questions like:

"Questioning the moral base of the Jewish state" on Open Democracy. He is also the overseer of the vast

Ziopedia. More about the Vastness of Ziopedia later.



It's interesting for a website that has 5958 people on it at one moment,(see snap of traffic above right) why does it have a page rank lower than most blogs? Most small to average websites have a Pageranking of 4 - 5, larger ones are 6 and above going all the way up to 10. [Bagelblogger has just got a PR of 5 recently, and I'm not about to retire!]

Yet despite all the 'extra' traffic that Andrew informs us about, his Ziopedia.org gets ranked a lowly three?

Yes People hold the doors open there's a huge rush of traffic
Ziopedia is Google Page Ranking a 3

I've seen blogs that haven't posted in a year get a page ranking of 3!

ZioPedia's existence threatened by Zionist mafia

Written by Andrew Winkler, The Rebel Media Group

Wednesday, 14 February 2007

Sydney, 14 Feb 2007 - The financial existence of Sydney based dissident blog and online encyclopedia ZioPedia.org has come under threat by intense lobbying of the Zionist mafia. On Tuesday night, Google ads have been disabled, depriving ZioPedia.org of a small but growing source of income, and PayPal - the Internet payment company used by ZioPedia.org to receive one-off and regular donations from readers - is rumoured to be investigating the closure of the ZioPedia.org account under the pretext of low payment volume.

Right: Oh No the Google Ads are gone!, maybe you could google where they are?

Recent main stream media attention caused by an unknown poster identifying himself as 'Eric Hunt', claiming in a spoof article to have attacked 'Holocaust Pope' Elie Wiesel, was followed by not only a significant increase in visitors, but also a sky-rocketing number of hate mail. "We are used to regular death threats and the most vicious personal attacks, and consider their number to be key performance indicators," says Andrew Winkler, founder and editor/publisher of the anti-Zionist site. "Basically, the more death threats we receive, the more we know that we are doing a good job,"

Andrew Winkler adds, "We appeal to our readers to approach Google and PayPal and demand an end to this blatant attempt of corporate censorship. We also appeal to everyone sympathetic to our anti-Zionist cause to support us financially through these difficult times. The more donations we receive, the less of an excuse PayPal have to close our account." Andrew Winkler can be contacted via email on editor@ziopedia.orgThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Just Like Abe





I've got a confession to make. I can't help but smile when I see the full breadth of the American Political Process.

Some of your political rallies look better than any parties I've been to. Maybe thats a sad reflection on the social circles I travel in. Maybe I need to get out more.

What amuses me most about the politics of Washington is just how removed it all is from reality.

Do you have to like have dropped a Timothy Leary sized amount of L.S.D. to actually suspend your critical facility when listening to Federal Politicians?

[Click Read More...]

Well after watching the latest Barack Obama announcement I am starting to suspect the CIA has put acid in Washington's water supply.

Now after all this, we're told we've got a new Abe in town.

Senator Barack Obama has put his hand up and shouted me too. Not only has he shouted me Too but in the deep tradition of making US politics more orchestrated than the US superbowl, his letting it be known that he really is just like Abe Lincoln.

I think Peggy Noonan saw this coming a long way of last year. She so ably reported an article about the conceit of Government.

And who was the star of the show that summery June 2006, well it was what some would say was an upstart.



Hardly long enough in Politics to know where the mens room is, and now he's announced he wants to be President.

Fair enough, there nothing wrong with long term goals. Except, Barack Obama is talking about as in next year.

I can't help but think the CIA is behind this, cause no matter how hard I try, I know I must be on drugs to see what I'm seeing.

Seems Peggy has been avoiding the water, this is what she had to say back in June:

"This week comes the previously careful Sen. Barack Obama, flapping his wings in Time magazine and explaining that he's a lot like Abraham Lincoln, only sort of better. "In Lincoln's rise from poverty, his ultimate mastery of language and law, his capacity to overcome personal loss and remain determined in the face of repeated defeat--in all this he reminded me not just of my own struggles."

Oh. So that's what Lincoln's for. Actually Lincoln's life is a lot like Mr. Obama's. Lincoln came from a lean-to in the backwoods. His mother died when he was 9. The Lincolns had no money, no standing. Lincoln educated himself, reading law on his own, working as a field hand, a store clerk and a raft hand on the Mississippi. He also split some rails. He entered politics, knew more defeat than victory, and went on to lead the nation through its greatest trauma, the Civil War, and past its greatest sin, slavery.

Barack Obama, the son of two University of Hawaii students, went to Columbia and Harvard Law after attending a private academy that taught the children of the Hawaiian royal family. He made his name in politics as an aggressive Chicago vote hustler in Bill Clinton's first campaign for the presidency.

You see the similarities. "

And what's bagels last thought's on all this?

Pass me the T.V program darling, I'm not in the mood for another B grade horror movie .

Getting Cross at being Crossed


Cross Examination


For us in the Southern Hemisphere its summer time now, and as you Cold Shivering types in the Northern hemisphere throw another log on the fire or curse the poor heating in your apartments and shiver from record snow falls, we had to endure a blazing hot day today.

After driving into a distant town going to two different supermarkets and doing our big fortnightly shop, we had to make some emergency contingency plans, the heat was sweltering, which is unusual for this late in February, with things so hot, facing our usually long trip home, and half of our groceries already baking in the back of the car 'Dad' [Bagel] was struck with a thunderbolt inspirational idea.

[Click Read More...]

Well things were hot, the frozens were frying so 'Dad' brought two of those rather lowly status symbols popular at Bondi beach, the famous foam esky were in order, or what some might know as a 'cooler'.

With our frozen foods rapid decline slowed temporarily we sauntered through the shopping center enjoying the Supermarkets air conditioning.

I've got to be honest, I love easter, there I said that word.

Why? Well its not because of any false messiah who developed a rather severe persecutory complex, its to do with easter eggs. Yes I love the easter eggs, that get piled 12 stories high in our 'big town' supermarket.

There are so many easter eggs that they had actually made supermarket aisles out of the number of boxes of easter eggs.

You exclaim, but you can't like easter! Especially easter eggs! That's where you're wrong.

I like easter eggs for a reason that is so obscure you would never guess.

The reason why I love easter eggs is the local supermarket manager is such a colossal tight 'a*se' he refuses to turn the supermarkets air conditioning on to anything more than a symbolic hum. It doesn't matter if its so hot in the store you could cook your eggs on the floor without a fry pan, what's more important is that the manager saves a few dollars in the cooling bill.

Now there's a funny thing about the Australia Summer and its timing of 'easter', chocolate easter eggs, bunnies etc and summer don't go well together.

Now you know why I like easter, its the only time we can go shopping and know the local supermarket will be colder inside than the heat wave outside.

I don't know if it's ' easter ', but the christians are running rampant around here lately. It seems every second corner of the highway has had a new cross symbolically installed, the local 'christian school has blazoned the cross across their new buildings as thou they're expecting G__d to be doing some bombing runs and want to make sure they're missed.

The local secular school our two young children are forced to go to, (no alternative for 300km's) has been ramping up the evangelism this year.

The school knows we're Jewish, in an town of 1,000 people, a municipality of 20,000 to be the only Jews, excluding the local Doctor who lives two towns away and is secular, its not the kind of detail most of the town is likely to forget.

We tend to keep a low profile at easter time.

Anyway back to coming home with the shopping, the frozens safely tucked away in the two brand new foam Eskies, 65 kilometers later we start driving up our drive way, other people would call it an extreme 40 degree rocky graded slope, a serious four wheel drive climb, but we call it our drive way.

After the rains we've just had the drive way is starting to get that Grand Canyon look, I'm expecting to sell donkey rides any day now. We finally get to the carport and proceed to unpack the car.

I smugly grab one of the two brand new Eskies, for its first actual carry, some other shopping bags and proudly start marching up to the house.

Seven steps later the 'inspirational' let's buy two really cheap Eskies to put the frozens in, was sitting broken handled across the path with the fortnights deli goodies spewed across the path. Our over fed Labrador managed to drag herself from her panting position under the shady tree to try to help me collect the weeks deli order.

This did not make for a happy home coming. After fighting off the dog, and collecting the remnants of our cold goods from across the foot path I turned the key to the front door and was immediately hit with a stream of hot air from what felt like a blast furnace.

...Another reason why installing air conditioning is a good idea when building a home.

4 more hours of stifling heat, thoughts of 'I wished we had cleaned the swimming pool' and numerous 'it's so hots' later the afternoons roaring sun started to blend into purple clouds.

Later in the evening my partner Danielle paraphrased that according to the school letter the P&C had announced that they were bringing in changes to the school uniform, I quickly quipped two necklines instead of one? [one horse, two headed , three wife town...]

Danielle managed to not lose track and kept her summary of the school newsletter going.

The local Anglican Minister and his team will be leading 'religious education' classes beginning next week for all those in the first three years, he has informed the school that those practicing Catholics are welcome to attend due to the non denominational character of the lessons. mm... Don't even go there..

If you don't want your children attending please fill in this return form to the child's teacher, interesting position there, one form to return two teachers to receive and if you don't return the form the indoctrination starts next week.

It always amazes me that you have to inform the school if you don't want your children to attend. Surely in a strongly secular society such as Australia it should be if you do want your children to attend then return this letter.

Obviously the rosary sale results wouldn't be the same.

Then Danielle went on to another piece of information about how few times it is possible to open the Children's Canteen in one month currently it stands at five times per month, and currently under review.

It was at this stage that the focus of the school letter generally falls rapidly and becomes a free for all melee for who can announce the most trivial local celebration in this one horse town, this is my cue to play Homer Simpson and say ' look at the dog chasing its tail out the window'.

Before preparing tonight's evening meal, Danielle went through the Kids school bags and found some of the days efforts by Amber at her Kindy class. There was the standard seven legged animal and there was the;

'What the H*** is this?' exclaimed Danielle.

I looked at it and it was a picture of teapots, mmmm

Danielle exclaims why does it have to be on another flaming Cross?

Yes there it was all to see, we were being Crossed again. Never mind the Hot Cross Buns in the Supermarket, the Highway Crosses at every turn, the New School building's prominent Cross, the local Anglican ministers cross into the secular school system, the cross School principal and his naughty secular students, its was another Cross!

That's it. Danielle had reached boiling point, it was too hot, too much and too Christian!

She looked at me and with those, ' If your worth anything you would do something' mad 'cross' eyes' and exclaimed well? This is it I've had it why do they have to get Amber to put teapots on a friggin Cross? Enough is enough, what's wrong with a circle, a square, a rectangle, no it has to be a cross. And not just a 'x' marks the spot cross, it has to be a perpendicular extended base 'he died for your sins cross', Danielle was fuming.

I took a deep breath and contemplated my course of action, I could see it with my bare unbelieving eyes, it was a cross, it was a christian cross and I was going to have to get ...Cross no strike that, 'Assertive'.

It was at that precise moment as frustration welled up inside me forcing me to take action that Jade our other Daughter butted in and said

"That's not a cross they're teapots and that's the letter T."

mmm I need a cool drink its so hot....
