My answer:

She does not own NewsMakingNews, she writes for it.

My answer:

That is not good enough. She claims ignorance of who RJ is but a site she is affiliated with is linked to reesejones.com.



This isnt rocket science kids.

They both were connected to companies with Bright in the company name , nothing more(as said on Reese's bio)

By "they", do you mean Kate Dixon and Reese Jones, searcher?

Sorry, Chig, that was really unclear.

No - I was searching for connections between Jim Cownie (who figured in the Duncan story) and Reese Jones. I had a good search but found nothing at all that links them, nor any real reason as Reese Jones is old school Silicon Valley researcher, start-up maven and innovator, Cownie much more niche Mid West entrepreneur.

Oh, I see. Me, I was searching for a Reese Jones/Scientology connection, came across the One Taste cult thingy. What I wondered about was if you meant a Maharishi/Jones connection, as there's a Maharishi city near here, Vedic City, something like that..

Wow thats strange. I just turned the TV channel to the travel channel at the same time I was reading your post and its a show called Extreme Cities and guess what city they are covering?

Vedic city, Iowa.

Neat place FWIW.

Well, she's not the one specified on the domain registration:

Registrant:
newsmakingnews
1230 Market Street, No. 417
San Francisco, CA 94102
US

Domain Name: NEWSMAKINGNEWS.COM

Administrative Contact:
DIXON, KATE
BERKELEYWORLDPRESS
1412 McGee Avenue
Berkeley, CA 94703
US
510 525-4303

(this is why I prefer private registration)

That is not good enough. She claims ignorance of who RJ is but a site she is affiliated with is linked to reesejones.com.

It's plausible that not every employee of a company would know about every other domain that redirects to that company's web site aside from the main one. Hell, I could redirect a domain to NMN from my server. But in this case, both domains resolve to 198.173.92.215, which means they're on the same server. The reverse-DNS record for 198.173.92.215 is http://www.newsmakingnews.com, so that's either the primary site for which the hosting service was purchased, or it's the only site on 198.173.92.215 that needs to support encryption for e-commerce purposes... although https://www.newsmakingnews.com/ isn't set up, so I'm inclined to think the hosting account was set up initially for NMN and other sites such as reesejones.com were added later, although reesejones.com's IP wasn't changed as recently as NMN's, so I expect the hosting account or dedicated web server for reesejones.com took on NMN several years ago, then RJ was redirected to NMN.

Not that any of this matters a damn... just throwing it out there.

Well, it beats me why a group of people who are into organic, vegetarianism, etc. to the degree they are would locate their city in the middle of Iowa farmland, considering the amount of chemicals that are floating and flowing all over that area.

Lots of rumors abound among the locals (non-Maharishis) in near-by Fairfield of indiscriminate sex and vd's among the "roos" (local slang for these "gurus"), which kind of fit the profile" of One Taste, I thought. But you know how i jump to conclusions so easily.

What synchronicity, Percy.

Well I travled around India for a few years and did the whole vedic/hindu scene for a while and I can personally attest to the gurus and babas of these sects/cults having very large sexual appitites which is ironic since they refuse to eat onions or garlic because they are known to make people horny. They often claim to be celibate but what goes on inside the doors of their temples and shrines is another story altogether. The worst among them were the Hari Krishnas.

This is not the case with Buddhist monks as far as I can tell, the ones I have met and spent time with are indeed celibate and take the oath seriously.


You look sexy when you jump to conclusions...

"Fool Me Once..."

[compared2what?]

Rats, does this mean that Reese Jones isn't one of the dots here? Ah, just when this was taking a ...juicy turn.

Don't fret. Reese Jones is clearly a dot. Reesejones.com redirects to NMN. On the whois for reesejones.com, netopia is listed. In Jones' biography, it is clear that he has been the brains behind Netopia Inc.. Maybe AD can channel Virginia to find out if he is her husband. No matter the answer to that one, however, Reese Jones of Netopia Inc. has been established as a dot. Thanks again to everyone who has helped clarify the purpose of this thread. My agenda has been nothing more than sharing a few tidbits that came my way.

It's not conclusive, but fwiw:



If you inferred who she was married to based on with whom she shared the removal of liens on property and so forth the most often with the most likely-sounding name, it would be Robert B. McCullough.

Although there's also a James P. McCullough who shows up once.

But fwiw, there's...



...a Robert B. McCullough with a fictitious business name registration in Alameda County that's a fit for AD's characterization of her husband as being in the IT/Tech biz.

Those are both from the Alameda County website, the reliability of which I can't speak to.

And...I have some other state and county records that might be of interest as well, somewhere. But who knows where, or in what format or under what filename. I wasn't really working at it, I just searched as an idle reflex, basically. Way back when I first upset AD by saying I thought he should be careful about interacting with Ms. McCullough if he didn't know much about who she was or where she came from, which was long before I had any reason to be speaking out of more than general concern about his being in touch with someone who was anomalously silent on the subject of her credentials for the line of work she was in.

IOW: It was quite a while ago.

However....If you're trying to make the Reese Jones connection, though, I think I can find Ms. Dixon's Alameda County dba registrations, which should provide some grist for the search-engine mill.

But hey! Listen to me, please, I'm talking to you:

I really implore and beg everyone not to overdo it wrt stretching for connections in material that comes from public records. Seriously. Because it's definitely very good that public records are public, and sometimes have legitimate public-interest value. But that so totally doesn't extend to recreational wild speculation about stuff that you don't have any very compelling reason to think is anything other than a paper trail representing someone' perfectly normal business activities.

So you really shouldn't abuse their accessibility, imo. It's bad karma. Not to mention that the more they're abused, the more likely they are to become less public. Which would be a blow to liberty.

However, I'm sure everyone here will act responsibly. Right? Good.

[compared2what?]

These are also from the Alameda County database. I don't remember if I tried other name variations or not. I might have. But I do remember that these were the ones that made me feel a little bit of that instinct that you might as well pay attention to as not, since you have to start somewhere anyway, and even a stopped clock, etcetera.

Damn you guys are good. Super sleuths dejure....
