It has been interesting to revisit this thread.
I think I was very naive in thinking that once Rachel posted here there would be lots of empowering interest and concerted action - and who knows what might happen.
Lots of mudslinging, lots of bitching, lots of 'disinformation snap'
(X is a disinformation person...
Noooo! YYY is the disinformation person etc etc) Danny Casolaro is probably doing
Psynapz, you rock.
Bolded bit above is why I occasionally have to take a vacation from RI myself. The folks who constantly attack seem to almost completely lack a basic empathy that would allow them to see how their words might affect their chosen targets. My impression is that they're probably just young enough to have been traumatized by finding out about the whole deep state mess and are reflexively lashing out at anyone who dares to post with 1st hand info that confirms their worst fears...and believe me that's a kinder conclusion than others I've entertained.
If they keep driving away anyone claiming personal experience, then RI will just become another board full of 3rd hand discussion of ambiguous events. Perhaps one with a higher-than-usual IQ, but not a place where brand new information is likely to surface. I understand that the nature of this kind of subject matter probably went a long way toward fostering their sour, suspicious attitude, but Jeff said on the homepage:
A vigorous, curious and welcoming community of largely like-minded souls. Browse, consult the posting guidelines and jump in.
And there are lots of folks like that here, but they're frequently drowned out by the loud shouting from the kneejerk naysayers.
I'm glad to see you back, desertfae. RI's become a rough playground, but I believe it's still an excellent place to share information like yours. I wish you well in your search for justice and I'm appreciate you taking the time to clarify the "ARG" stuff. After what happened to Dream's End, a lot of us are justifiably ARG-wary.

Thanks LilyPat, yes, I'll agree it's rough here, but over the last few years my skin has gotten much tougher. Things people say about me these days don't really phase me much anymore. I'm just not into wasting my time with nonsense ya know, which is why I'm going to address the 'ARG' stuff one last time, anyone not happy with it, or wanting me to repeat myself yet again, will be disappointed after this as I'll ignore any BS regarding this old issue.
I won't allow people to draw me into a debate over something so silly.. besides, I'm a very busy person and don't have time to go over this countless times because of some paranoid people.
I do however understand the suspicious nature of this board, because I can get the same way dealing with stuff I deal with. Even VM knows I'm me at this point (although she doesn't like me, and the feeling is mutual), regardless of her libelous writings on this board when I was here before.
The difference between how I react to suspicious stuff and how some on this board react is that I try to be friendly and will talk to people until I have actual proof of the red flags I may see. Believe me, I have lots of proof regarding people I thought were friends and backstabbed me during my investigation.
As far as what happened with DreamsEnd, all I know about him is a few emails we shared and how hateful his messages were to me. I also know that he was banned from here for something. So I'm not sure what happened with him before, or why some are acting this way. Enlighten me
As far as the ARG stuff, I believe someone with the user name Nathan posted a link to unfiction or something like that which explains it all. I'm not going to repeat it all, but for the sake of time, and some that may not want to follow his link or whatever... basically, what happened is when I started looking into this I was a fan of LG15 ( I haven't went there in some time though because I'm too busy). I started out thinking that I would do the videos to make me safer and to get people interested with a certain style of video. I realized pretty fast that what I was doing by looking into all this is dangerous (keep in mind before I looked into this I had no clue what the 'octopus' even was, let alone who Danny Casolaro was or anything.. I started from square one). When I realized it was this dangerous I stopped making videos that may get others 'involved' as I didn't want anyone else hurt.
I've had people over the last few years ask me if they can get involved.. I always tell them that it's best if they don't do anything to put themselves in danger, such as meeting with certain individuals or doing anything illegal in the process. I make a point to let them know how dangerous this really is and explain in detail that this is not a game, and real lives are on the line. While I don't have control over people's actions, if someone does decide to get involved somehow, I don't want anyone else to be hurt in this.
So to be clear, I'm me, the real daughter of Ralph Boger. My married name is Rachel Begley. I'm not an actress, I'm not playing a game. My case will go on regardless of who goes to my site, who believes me, or whatever. My case does not depend on any 'viewers' or website visits. My site is there for those wanting to learn about the case, and for my safety. I did have to laugh the first time I saw someone call me an actress though lol... I WISH I was, because then I wouldn't have had to go through all the stuff I went through in my life, and maybe instead of spending most of my paycheck investigating this, I would actually make some money lol. Ok, there's that. I won't respond to anymore posts claiming I'm not me, or that I'm playing a game or an ARG or whatever.
Sorry LilyPat, I used your response to get the 'arg' thing out of the way. I do appreciate your kind words
Rachel
