".....It is the latest well-funded entry in a young medium called "alternate-reality gaming"--an obsession-inspiring genre that blends real-life treasure hunting, interactive storytelling, video games and online community and may, incidentally, be one of the most powerful guerrilla marketing mechanisms ever invented....."
Definition
Unconventional marketing intended to get maximum results from minimal resources.
Information
Coined by Jay Conrad Levinson, guerilla marketing is more about matching wits than matching budgets. Guerilla marketing can be as different from traditional marketing as guerilla warfare is from traditional warfare. Rather than marching their marketing dollars forth like infantry divisions, guerilla marketers snipe away with their marketing resources for maximum impact....."
viral marketing
Definition
Marketing phenomenon that facilitates and encourages people to pass along a marketing message.
Information
Viral marketing depends on a high pass-along rate from person to person. If a large percentage of recipients forward something to a large number of friends, the overall growth snowballs very quickly. If the pass-along numbers get too low, the overall growth quickly fizzles.
At the height of B2C it seemed as if every startup had a viral component to its strategy, or at least claimed to have one. However, relatively few marketing viruses achieve success on a scale similar to Hotmail, widely cited as the first example of viral marketing.
" - On the Internet, viral marketing is any marketing technique that induces Web sites or users to pass on a marketing message to other sites or users, creating a potentially exponential growth in the message's visibility and effect. One example of successful viral marketing is Hotmail, a company, now owned by Microsoft, that promotes its service and its own advertisers' messages in every user's e-mail notes.
Some marketing people prefer terms other than viral marketing. In his popular e-mail newsletter about selling on the Web, John Audette asked readers to suggest alternatives, including other terms in current use...."

Posted: Fri Feb 08, 2008 9:00 am Post subject: So, what would you do if Danny Casolaro asked for your help?
I have long found the Promis saga of great interest, but considered it kind of dead and buried; now we find that many of the people involved in that are still in the middle of the tsunami of poo that Sibel Edmonds found herself in...
Now suppose Danny said - "There is someone carrying on where I left off - will you help her?"
What would you say?
Shifting from wishing her luck and keeping safe...
to actively assisting her?
So... there is a R.I. forum member whose father and two friends were killed by the same set network of people that Sibel points to. To me this brings the world that Jeff writes about very much "inside the tent"
*** Desertfae has not offered proof that she is the daughter of Boger, who was killed with Fred Alvarez.
She is going after The Octopus. She has already managed to get the investigation into the murders re-opened (a remarkable achievement)
and getting loads of website traffic from... Saudi Arabia.
***"She" had nothing to do with getting the Alvarez triple executions re-opened by the Riverside Sheriff's Department. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The only "proof" this poster has that she is getting "loads of website traffic from....Saudi Arabia" is desertfae's word.
I feel what she is doing is really important and that she deserves support.
Her username is desertfae (real name Rachel) ; her website is desertfae.com
She has made loads of short videos on youtube (with the aim of keeping herself alive) and has already made contact with people like Ted Gunderson and Promis-hacker Michael Riconoschuto (who is now calling her from prison).
***It is more likely that Gunderson and/or Riconosciuto (or his spokesperson Anita Langley or his associate Patrick O'Shea) has made contact with desertfae or that someone like this is controlling her actions.

How very strange. Earlier this morning I was thinking about the large box of documents I have from an access to info request with the RCMP about Promis, from the early 90s. Thought about tossing it, or looking up Bill Hamilton after all these years to see if he wanted it for old-times-sake.
***I would hope that this poster holds onto the box or finds a neutral archieve to hold it. This will not be easy to do.
If it's useful to someone, better than putting it in the recycle bin.
Globe and Mail reporter Eric Reguly might have some documents he'd like to get rid of now - at one point he was also researching Promis (as I was)...and was so freaked out, a friend actually wrote a play about his experiences/fears/findings/reconstructions.
***I wonder if this poster is Canadian. I was also in touch with the fine researcher and writer Eric Reguly soon after the killing of Danny Casolaro and Eric told me that both he and Danny had made the same mistake - they had both set foot on Earl Brian's home property. This phone conversation took place after Eric had finished writing his fine article on "Cash" Earl Brian and just a day or two before the article was published. At that time Eric also told me that "I love my profession but I do not want to die for it." From Paul DeRienzo's interview with Virignia McCullough dated Dec. 3, 1992:
VIRGINIA McCOLLOUGH: Earl Brian was detailed at length by a reporter for the Financial Post by the name of Eric Reguly on August 19, 1991. Now, Mr. Reguly had received the same death threats as the slain reporter Danny Casolaro when he started looking into Mr. Earl Brian. And anyone who has researched Earl Brian's early life is left with many, many questions about everything from whether the man is truly a doctor (he did not finish his internship at Stanford; he left a quarter short of [finishing] his internship at Stanford University) to exactly what role he played in the Vietnam War that would result in all of the many medals which the United States Government claims he received in the two years he served there as a physician.
Mr.Reguly's article was entitled: "Questions Grow as Big Daddy Watches His Empire Crumble". Big Daddy is the nickname for Dr. Earl Brian. And he had an extensive financial network, from a company called Biotech Capital Corporation -- where Mrs. Edwin Meese had invested -- to the Financial News Network where he was accused of cooking the books by his own auditors. In addition to that, this article goes into great detail about Dr. Earl Brian's links to the US and Israeli intelligence communities. Many people have testified in the article that Dr. Earl Brian's nickname in the intelligence community was "Cash". And that would tie directly into what Michael Riconosciuto is alleging: that both he and Earl Brian, together, arranged for the transfer of forty million dollars for the "October Surprise" to retain the American hostages past the inauguration of Ronald Reagan.
PAUL DeRIENZO: Could you just cite that article for us one more time?
VIRGINIA McCOLLOUGH: Certainly; August 19, 1991, in the Financial Post, by Eric Reguly. Eric Reguly is the bureau chief for the Financial Post which is Canada's equivalent of the Financial Times. Now, anyone who has been following the story of the deaths that have occurred since Michael Riconosciuto began talking on March 21st, might be aware of the fact that one of Mr. Reguly's compatriots -- a man by the name of Anson Ng, who was a stringer for the Financial Times -- was executed in Guatemala as he began investigating the links between the Cabazon Indian reservation and the execution of Fred Alvarez, BCCI, and the Bank of America.
PAUL DeRIENZO: We're speaking with Virginia McCollough, free-lance reporter, here on WBAI. We're in the middle of a pledge marathon, and we're discussing the Inslaw case and its connection to BCCI and "October Surprise", and a whole list of activities that seem to be so intertwined and folding back in all different directions as to make one believe that the theory of an "Octopus" was true -- that maybe Danny Casolaro was getting close to something when he was killed looking for the last link in the chain, the conspiracy, which he called the "Octopus".
Riconnoscutio is, well, like Ari Ben Menashi; what he knows first-hand, and what he molds and sculpts from second and third parties into recognizable objects, is, well, impossible to sort out.
***Again, this poster is very astute.

The background to the Promis case is here
The Last Circle by Cherie Seymour
http://www.lycaeum.org/books/books/last_circle/3.htm
I think that most people here are a lot brighter than the Octopus members - we might make a surprisingly big difference... and have adventure, entertainment and real-life scary experiences into the bargain.
HI!
I feel what I'm doing is important too... not just for justice for my dad, Fred, and Patty, but all the others that have died in this mess. I think it's time for all of it to stop and even if I can just make a small dent in it, it will be all worth it.
I already responded to someone else in this thread about Virginia and her associations as well as her real motives behind what she does.. but did you know that Cherie Seymour aka Carol Marshall is just as bad as VM?
For instance, if you actually read her book all the way through you'll see she contradicts herself in regards to the papers she "aquired" (stole).
First she states she gave them to Marshal (Michael's dad-who btw was in a nursing home at the time so obviously that didn't happen). Then when talking with someone she was asked if she had the papers.. she stated yes after she supposedly gave them back to Marshall. Then they ask where they are.. she says in a "safe place".
She has 'some' truth in her book, and some lies.. you have to pick out the true parts.. it's not all about drugs and drug rings as she thinks.. thats just one arm of the octopus-
It's about power, it's about a network of people that think (and in a lot of cases) can get away with whatever they want. These people are across the globe and are all interconnected.
I also think that people here are smarter than a lot of the criminals involved in the octopus. Here's the key with them, a lot of them are 'reactionary' instead of thinking things through.. and that plays to my advantage.
Honestly though, I can't ask that anyone, anywhere actively help me in this because too many people have died already.. I can't take the chance that someone would be hurt helping me. I've put myself in danger doing this and don't want to put anyone else in harms way.. these people are very 'ugly' if you know what I mean.
Thats not to say if someone has a document or whatever that I would discourage them from sharing it at all.. or if someone wants to get me paperwork or whatever... I just don't want anyone getting too deep into this due to the nature of it, ya know?
***Here you see desertfae (or whoever authored this posting) reveal what her motivation is in the videos. She is seeking to act as a sponge - soliciting the net for more documents she can acquire to create more ARGs.
From personal experience, I can state that Michael Riconosciuto has a small army of sponges that obtain knowledge from the outside and feed it to him on the inside. The unfortunate part is that because Michael limits his acquired knowledge and his army members to only those who swear allegance to his stories, he limits himself to the wider wisdom or actions of those he perceives as his enemies. Remember the old saying, "Keep your friends and your enemies closer."
The octopus has a way of tangling you up in it before you realize you're a part of it... it's highly complicated and with so much disinfo out there you really do have to go through stuff to weed out the bad info. Also when speaking with people involved you have to do backgrounds on everyone to see who you can trust and who you can't... which is one reason I never get enough sleep lol.. I need more than 24 hours in a day Laughing
Soon enough, a lot more info will be coming out on my site too.. I'm working deeply on some 'situations' right now which is taking a lot of my time.. which is one reason for the lack of a video this last week.
Be watching my site for more info over the next 2 months.
One more thing... if anything happens to me over say, the next 3 months or so, share my story... I have multiple people I trust, in multiple countries that have copies of ALL of my paperwork, documents and letters, with instructions to share it all on my site and multiple other sites if something happens.
**This is the standard "disclaimer" put out by "conspiracy buffs" in order to create fear in their readers for the buff's life and thereby, build more confidence in their statements. The theory being, "why would they do this unless it is the truth because their life has been threatened.
***The syntax, spelling, use of larger words, a better flow of English, etc all lead me to believe that this post was not written by the same individual as desertfae's previous posts. I am just speculating but could this post have been authored by Anita Langley or a woman with the initials of BR.

If you are willing, I would like to have this box of documents instead of you throwing them out... email me at desertfae@gmail.com and I'll give you my mailing address.
If you know others that have stuff please share the same with them.
As far as MR-everything he's told me up to this point has been supported with documented proof.
thanks,
***Again - the sponge is seeking the documents.
Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2008 2:00 am Post subject: Reagan?
Hard to believe that Ronald Reagan was corresponding about October Surprise and black ops. Very hard to believe.
Quote:
Fred found out about what was going on.. confronted JP Nichols and was told to back off. He approached my dad and told him of what was going on-he wrote Ronald Reagan who was about to run for president or already had announced that he was running to let him know of his concerns. Reagan wrote him back IN DETAIL about October Surprise and other black ops programs. At that point either Fred or both my dad and Fred (I’m not sure cause I was only 13) broke into JP Nichols office and either took or copied paperwork proving everything.
*** Again, this statement in blue with the heading "Quote" is absolutely rediculous. The contents of this envelope was a brief "thank you" standard form letter from Reagan to Alvarez. I have both the letter and the envelope. As far as I know, no one has either the letter that Alvarez sent to Reagan that generated this thank you or any other letter from Reagan to Fred Alvarez detailing anything. Why would a controlled Presidential candidate write a detailed letter about national secrets to a member of an indian tribe numbering under twenty. It is very possible that Ronald Reagan or his handlers did correspond on some level with "Dr." John Philip Nichols through Senator James Abourezk , the former Senator from South Dekota who once headed the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs and ultimately controlled all of the frozen Iranian assets in the United States. Abourezk was a close personal friend of Nichols and it was the Senator who was bringing gentlemen in Middle Eastern dress to parties at the Cabazon Nation in the fall of 1980. Senator Abourezk was also the attorneys of record with Glen Feldman for the business committee of the Cabazon tribe and these two men pushed through indian gaming nationwide to facilitate millions to support the US dirty little wars around the globe. This is a story that has yet to be told.

Virginia Mccullough, as channelled by American Dream (sorry, AD, couldn't help myself, been spending too much time at DE's), mentioned one Anita Langley, asking if desertfae might have been in contact with this person instead of directly with Gunderson or Riconoscuito. I seem to remember something about that person back a couple of years ago +/-. I think this Anita was asking the public for help because Riconoscuito had prostate cancer, and the prison system wasn't treating it. Sorry, can't remember if the help being requested was to be in the form of money.
For at least the past four years Michael Riconosciuto used a woman who identified herself as a cousin by marriage as his third party spokeswoman. She is a resident of Vancouver, Canada and her name is Anita Langely. Michael Riconosciuto would use Anita Langely to deliver messages to this reporter and to others.
This woman assumed the role of intermediary between the imprisoned genius and those whose help he sought and whose opinions he sought to influence. Extensive paperwork documents Langely's efforts as do numerous phone calls supported by long distance phone bills.

PART 35: State Justice Department Stalls Murder Case Arrests (click on the video)
July 3, 2009
By Nathan Baca, News Channel 3 Reporter
nbaca@kesq.com
There are new developments in a Rancho Mirage cold case murder investigation. The Riverside County Sheriff's cold case squad are investigating the murder of 3 people in 1981 now called "The Octopus Murders."
News Channel 3 first broke news of this investigation last year and has since won an Emmy award for investigative reporting.
We're learning the case is now in the hands of the California Department of Justice because there is a conflict of interest within our local law enforcement departments trying to crack this case.
Despite having suspects in this murder, the state Justice Department is inexplicably stalling this case, upsetting the victim's family members.
On July 1, 1981, Fred Alvarez, his girlfriend Patty Castro and friend Ralph Boger were shot to death "execution style" at a home on Bob Hope Drive in Rancho Mirage.
Cabazon Band of Mission Indians Vice Chairman Fred Alvarez was going to blow the whistle on weapons deals between the tribe, Wackenhut Security and Meridian Arms Company, owned by businessman Robert Booth Nichols. The deal was for the tribe to manufacture heavy weaponry on their land in order to sell to developing nations worldwide.
The triple murder case was reopened last year by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
A cold case detective writes in a recent email he "doesn't want to continue on the case based on the number of people who have met an untimely demise while doing so."
Those people include investigative reporter Danny Casolaro, who died in 1991 in mysterious circumstances.
News Channel 3 was called by Riverside County Assistant Sheriff Craig Kilday several months ago, asking us not to reveal what we knew of the department's main suspects in the case.
News Channel 3 is still honoring the Sheriff's Department request for now. We will not reveal who the department suspects, but the fact of the matter is, it's out of their hands now.
The California Department of Justice is now in charge. They come in when there's a conflict of interest in local law enforcement. We've contacted Deputy District Attorney Michael Murphy for answers. He's taking the lead on this case out of their San Diego office. He wouldn't respond.
One local detective states he "feels like Alice in Wonderland going down the rabbit hole" and he "no longer has a complete grasp on the real world."
This leaves the victim's family members frustrated.
Rachel Begley, daughter of murder victim Ralph Boger says, "I think, morally, I can't let this drop. I feel that my Dad, Fred, Patty and all these other people murdered in this, they deserve some justice. If it takes one person to try and bring that about, then so be it."
Coming up later this week, we are following the money. What secret did those murder victims die for? Our trail leads to Robert Booth Nichols, a man connected to many recent financial scandals.
And we're still working to confirm the information we've received on the conflict of interest within Riverside County's law enforcement community forcing the state Department of Justice to take over this case.
Rachel Begley has written a full account of her search for her father's murderer at http://desertfae.com/pressrelease.htm
ONLY ON 3: The Money Behind the "Octopus Murders"

There are new developments in a Rancho Mirage cold case murder investigation.
Earlier this week, we told you the California Department of Justice in now in charge of this case because of a conflict of interest in local law enforcement. Now, we're following the money, finding out what secret these murder victims died for.
Sam Israel is a con-man who ran Bayou Investments Company. And, just like Bernie Madoff, he ran a large Ponzi scheme.
Israel tried to shake off the Feds by making it appear that he jumped off an upstate New York bridge last year. Faking his own death didn't work. He was caught.
When Israel went to prison, he took down his business partner, Robert Booth Nichols.
Federal lawsuits claim Israel paid Nichols $10 million to locate something valuable.
It was a deposit box. Inside the box, the Feds say was a treasury note, an effective IOU for gold.
We're not talking coins here. We're talking 2,500 metric tons of gold. That's $250 billion.
These treasury notes are rare and privately owned.
Sources representing the anonymous holder of one of these treasury notes tell News Channel 3 these treasury notes are in Atlanta, Cleveland, Chicago and two others in Canada. The gold is leveraged up to 400 percent in some cases.
The mere presence of these treasury notes have the power to shake up the global money market.
The Feds believe Nichols tried to steal a treasury note last year to corner the gold market. It nearly worked, until the note was found in a London Safe Deposit Company and taken back by the Feds.
But by then, investors panicked. The money market collapse was the needle that broke the global economy's back.
Also named in this whole business scandal is John Prescott Ellis. He's a first cousin of President George W. Bush. Ellis denies any wrongdoing.
Robert Booth Nichols has a colorful history. An FBI report from 1982 obtained by News Channel 3 claims after leaving the CIA, Nichols went into money laundering and gun running.
He even had a bit role in the 1992 movie "Under Siege," acting as the film's military consultant.
Nichols was owner of Meridian Arms Corporation. Documents show how he tried to make heavy weapons deals with the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians. They currently run Fantasy Springs Casino. Many of these weapons deals were exposed during our 2 year long News Channel 3 investigation.
In 1981, three people were shot "execution style" at a Rancho Mirage home. Cabazon Vice Chairman Fred Alvarez was going to blow the whistle on the weapons deals before his murder. The money from weapons dealing lead to Nichols for years, but he often escaped conviction.
Federal court papers state Robert Booth Nichols recently died in Geneva, Switzerland. The circumstances are mysterious.
Is Nichols really dead? Or, did he learn a lesson from Sam Israel, his former business partner, in how to fake his own death? The mystery remains, and News Channel 3 continues its investigation.
