FOLEYGATE RESEARCH(vanity)

research | 10/12/06 | penelopesire

[penelopesire]

here goes nothing:

I wrote this to you all last week(just didn't send it)....since then, much has come to light! My stuff has been sent to the FBI and Hastert's office from a (you'll love this).....KINKOS....lol.

However..the FBI has my real name and all relevant info, should they ever give a damn.

But this much I have ready to go tonight. Please excuse the typos, the somewhat disjointed format, etc.:

Dear Fellow Freepers,

Many of you have written and asked me to let you know what my research into the whole Foleygate has revealed and I think it is time to put it out there and let you folks decide. Whether or not it is later to be discovered as a piece of this Foley Scandal, IT IS STILL EXTREMELY DISTURBING! When several Freepers brought up blogactive.com the first day the scandal broke, I went there to see what it was all about. It disgusted me the minute the first page opened and it was obvious this man was a vicious little gay blackmailer and extortionist! After reading through the site and doing some googling around with his name, MR. MIKE ROGERS could be nothing but the prime ‘suspect’ in this whole affair. As most of you know by now, he admitted as much. So while the really good freeper’s were getting to the bottom of the immediate questions, like who were the actors, who sent the emails and instant message and who knew what and when, I was still trying to google Mike Rogers into the bottomless pit of the internet….lol. A fellow freeper( who doesn’t want to be named) sent me a link to Mike Rogers resume online and that was what really got the ball moving in a more focused direction.

Here is what I discovered:

His last known job was listed as a fundraising consultant for Marge Barton & Associates out of NY from 1/97-present. So I started there and from what I can tell, Marge Barton is deceased now, but was instrumental in starting a company called gayellowpages.com (one y, not two). Then I did a domain search on the site where I found it and here is what it turned up:

Show underlying registry data for this record

Now..pay attention to this character above and the address: Ferrell Ard and 414 High Point Drive, Cocoa, Florida 32926

I then decided to go to the website that his email indicated. Badpuppy.com Not going to link it because it is a disgusting gay porno and ‘hook up’ site. I hurriedly copied the URL and went searching domain registers with that site. That domain search turned up other intriguing clues. It is Registered as Bad Puppy Enterprises , Inc. A man by the name of William Pinyon and Ferrell Ard at 414 High Point Drive, Cocoa, Florida. I won’t waste bandwidth printing out the domain results, but you can go look them up if you are interested. I later discovered he has several gay porn sites.

Next I decided to google Ferrell Ard into the wee hours of the morning and here is where it gets intriguing. One link I found for him was on POLITICS1 website:

Politics1.com

Looking for his name on the site, I found an ad that said this:

http://www.politics1.com/websites.htm

from the site:

"Softec Systems is proud to host the Politics1 site and provide it with fast, responsive technical support. We also host the popular HillZoo.com site for Congressional staffers and the homepage of The Congressional Club (the official organization for Congressional spouses).

WTH???? Softec is 'hosting' webpages for CONGRESSIONAL STAFFERS??

So off to the Softec Systems site where I found this:

Pinyon Vice President Ferrell Ard Sales Team William Pinyon Ferrell Ard Lisa Turner Web Publishing Team Benjamin Morton Carol Morton David Watson Visual Design David Watson Customer Support Team Supervisor Dick Brown Nick Braun Jeff Goodrich Shawn Layton Mario Davis Software Development Supervisor Max Zechinato Michael O'Neil Pete Hankins Curt Camp Products/Shipping Steven Wojcik Network Administration Ferrell Ard In House Operations Finance David Paquette

NOW, I really could not sleep, so I decided to make a pot of coffee and pull an ‘all nighter’.

The domain search on politics1 turned up this:

HERE WE GO AGAIN……SOFTEC SYSTEMS AGAIN ABOVE

(MANY MAY KNOW ALREADY) MR. GUNZBURGER IS A PRETTY NOTORIOUS POLITICO FROM FLORIDA. His mother was made famous in the 2000 recount in Broward County. Here is his Wikipedia entry:

Ronald M. "Ron" Gunzburger (b. 1963) is a Florida attorney, communications consultant, and publisher of the Politics1.com website. Born in New England, Gunzburger grew up in South Florida. He earned his B.A. degree in Political Science from George Washington University in 1984, and then worked as a legislative assistant in two Congressional offices on Capitol Hill. He then went to Vermont Law School, where he earned the J.D. degree cum laude in 1987. Specializing in direct mail and message development, Ron Gunzburger worked as a professional campaign consultant for 20 years in over 125 campaigns ranging from municipal races through Congressional campaigns. His innovative and often humorous campaign ads have been featured on NBC's Today Show, CNN's Headline News and in numerous print articles. Selected by the US Secretary of Defense, Gunzburger spent nine days participating in DOD's prestigious JCOC program in 2001. Most recently, Gunzburger volunteered in January 2004 as a Howard Dean campaign GOTV ward captain in Concord, New Hampshire during the primary campaign. He remains active in numerous civic and progressive organizations. A trial attorney since 1988, Gunzburger has previously served as an Assistant Public Defender, an Assistant Attorney General of Florida (RICO Unit, Economic Crimes Division), and as a litigation partner in a large national law firm. Gunzburger was a candidate for Broward County Judge in 1994, losing in the run-off (45% - 149,000 votes). He was again a candidate in 2002, challenging an incumbent Circuit Court Judge in the 17th Judicial Circuit (Broward County) of Florida – in a county where no incumbent circuit judge had lost a race for re-election in over 60 years – but missed qualifying for the run-off by a 2% margin. He is currently General Counsel and Director of Administration for Broward County Property Appraiser Lori Parrish. The South Florida Business Journal honored Gunzburger and 39 others in 1998 with its prestigious "40 Under 40 Award" for achieving career excellence before age 40. [edit] Politics1.com Moving into the realm of new media, he created and launched the Politics1 web site in late 1997. While the site initially published a political newsletter (The Politics1 Report), Gunzburger converted the weekly newsletter into an online blog in late 2001. On May 6, 2006, Gunzburger announced that he intends to run for a Broward County, Florida judge, and turn the day to day operations of his website to his partner, Dana F. Buker [1]. A few days later, he announced that he decided against running for judge, even though it was likely that he would run unopposed, because of his passion for politics [2]. He has therefore resumed running his website. [edit] Family Ron Gunzburger is the son of Sue Gunzburger, who earned national attention for her prominent role in the 2000 Presidential recount as the Broward County Commission Chair who served on the Broward County Election Canvassing Board. Ron got his first political experience working on his mother's winning campaign for Hollywood, Florida, City Commissioner in 1982. In June 2006, Gunzburger went to Toronto to marry his partner of 19 years, Dana Buker [3].

INTERESTING….ISN’T IT? It can be safely assumed at this point in the dig that he and Ferrell Ard know each other in some way, since Ferrell Ard bought ad space on his website. But it is not conclusive. So let’s continue……and leave Ron Gunzburger here for the moment and head back to Mr. Ferrell Ard from 414 High Point Drive, Cocoa, Florida 32926..shall we?

Upon further reading on Ferrell Ard, I discovered that our little model businessman is a member in the BBB in Florida:

But I digress….now back to the really disturbing part:

RON GUNZBURGER

Gunzburger’s move to Hillzoo according to Law.com:

WELL WELL WELL…now we have a good reason to believe Ron and Ferrell are pretty tight! I am not sure when SOFTEC SYSTEMS, which is owned by the GAY PORN KING, got the gig over at HILLZOO. COM or whether Gunzburger was even there when he got it. But it might be a good question for the media to ask him or a grand Jury!!

LOOK CLOSE…SOFTEC SYSTEMS IS UP THERE….Wonder why he did not provide his email at BADPUPPY over on Capital Hill? Inquiring minds want to know…….. Let’s go back to Ron Gunzburger for a moment…shall we?

(Later, I will post my research on Bill Sarapalius(owner of domain and former democrat member of Congress from Texas)

Gunzburger has his own web page:

YEP….THAT’s ole BAD PUPPY, Ferrell Ard!!

This is pretty interesting too, but irrelevant(maybe):

Gunzburger marries Boyfriend

http://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:kynlypEOn4kJ:shamgarreport.blogspot.com/2006/06/ron-gunzburger-marries-boyfriend.html+Ron+Gunzburger&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=7

You guys can google Ole Ron and find out that he dropped out of some race in Florida under pretty intriguing circumstances….. I am sure you can find lots of other connections.

Now we know from other great bloggers work out there the connection between John Avarosis and Mike Rogers…..

And here we have Melanie Snow from CREW with John Aravoisis:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&c2coff=1&q=%22Melanie+Sloan%22+%2B+%22john++aravosis%22&btnG=Search

There is lots more…but this is enough to ask ourselves some very important questions at this point. There are certainly lots of intriguing questions here….. and it may just be nothing (according to the Florida FBI chick I talked to yesterday) In the middle of my story, she asked me what was wrong with this PORNO KING RUNNING WEB SITES FOR CONGRESSIONAL STAFFERS and why he could not have two businesses.

Enter heavy sigh and a call today to the Texas boys! I doubt they will call me back either…...we’ll see. She just took the info and pretty much tried to get rid of me the minute I brought Ron Gunzburger into the mix!! Maybe she is a democrat….lol… I honestly did not know who the man was before I began this search…..lol

Here are my questions, regardless of whether this SOFTEC SYSTEMS is involved in this particular scandal. Can they capture info on these Congressional Staffers webpages by being the internet provider, etc.? Who hired them and why? AND WHAT THE HELL IS A FLORIDA GAY PORN KING doing hosting web pages on Capitol Hill? Now I understand this is not a government site, but these Congresscritters are not allowed to have campaign type info on their dot gov sites…they have to go elsewhere. How many folks in Congress are using SOFTEC? How many CONGRESSIONAL WIVES ARE?

What the hell is going on!!

Interestingly enough..Nancy Pelosi took her blog down a while back! Here is a link to go find out who has blogs on Capitol Hill.

Here is the link: be careful…... I think it is owned by none other than RON GUNZBURGER….lol

It came up under a search for connections between ole ‘nancy and ron’…LOL (HAS A CERTAIN SWEET RING TO IT…..) Hey…..maybe these two can run for the Executive Seat at THE BIG HOUSE???????

Heading to bed…..so if this gets posted…I may not be responding to it until the morning. But tell me what you think folks….is there a there there…or have I googled myself into stupidity…..LOL

Sorry for the long URL above.. I forgot to click to the original page from google.

It looks to me from the artical that Gunzburger SOLD the website to LobbyForMe. So he didnt have control of it. I dunno, Im new to this..
Somebody with a brain look into it. lol

[Monica785]

I wonder if there's a gay telephone sex line associated with badpuppy.com. Rogers outed Ed Schrock on his website by posting an audiotape of Schrock callin into one.

[Monica785]

Additonal info on the Schrock's call to the sex line:

http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:mxbooxk8ThcJ:gaycitynews.com/gcn_336/gayrumors.html+schrock+rogers&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=8

From Gay City News--

"The allegations Schrock referred to – that he had for years arranged for sexual encounters with other men through a telephone service – were posted by gay activist Mike Rogers on his Web site, on August 19, in which Rogers alleged that the congressman had sought sex with men through the Megaphone/Megamates Line.

On August 22 Rogers also posted a link to a recording, he claims is Schrock leaving a message on the Megaphone Line service. On the recording, a man’s voice describes the sexual acts he will perform with another man."

[maggief]

I don't see telephone sex lines but they have chat. Wonder if Foley was a memeber?

(Link omitted)

The below Live Sex services are complete with your Badpuppy membership.
You will be able to chat (when available) and see the "live sex show" without any extra cost.

Beach Bois Boy Peep
Boy Peep Boys Condo
Boys Condo CollegeBoysLive Orlando
CollegeBoysLive Orlando CollegeBoysLive Tampa
CollegeBoysLive Tampa
...

You have access to these services with your Badpuppy membership. These Live Sex services have upsells such as chat, and sometimes seeing any nudity (Flirt 4 Free). This means that you will have to pay extra for some of the content they provide. Mostly you will be able to see the "show" but will have to sign up and pay for any chat. You will not be charged any extra by Badpuppy and will have to specifically sign up to the service before any extra charges will be incurred.

[maggief]

A five-term Republican lawmaker from Florida's Palm Beach County who is also a primary candidate for the U.S. Senate has declared that questions about his sexual orientation are off limits, to the dismay of many liberal activists who say U.S. Representative Mark Foley is sending a hurtful message that there is something wrong with being gay.

Bob Kunst told GayToday he outed Foley following the theft of Election 2000 by Jeb Bush and his Republican surrogates. "I don't want anybody to think of him as gay, however, he's an evil, self-hating closeted homosexual," Kunst said.

The Oral Majority, a group that Kunst has spearheaded since the days of Anita Bryant, protested Foley's behavior (which they labeled "Foley's Follies") following George W. Bush's selection by the U.S. Supreme Court as president.

Kunst has done 175 media reports with Jack Nichols of gaytoday.badpuppy.com, documenting this impact. He is writing a book about his activities, as well as a video.

Ah so was Richard Clarke, Richard Clarke, Richard Clarke, repeated around 11 times, (the cyber security guy) used as the instructive code words? The other often repeated words were 'right wing'.

[Suzy Quzy]

YIKES!!! You are some detective!! If the Florida FBI chick doesn't follow up, call her BOSS!!

[Just mythoughts]

I do wish that I had paid attention to who was chatting, because on the Monday night following Foley's resignation, I heard two reporters on a cable show, (I am fairly certain it was not FOX) jubilant over the Foley outing because it was going to offend the "morals voters" into NOT voting for Republicans.

That discussion told me that a whole lot of people knew a whole lot more than what it appeared on the surface.

[Uncle Chip]

When you get a chance, simplify this for us so that it can be readily discussed on radio talk shows and its implications pointed out.

[GoodRepubBoy]

Links to this site have been sent to Texas Gov. Rick Perry's office and Rep. Kay Granger to see if they can nudge the FBI.

Its a long shot but I figured it wouldn't hurt.

CAPITOL HILL 'OUTING' CAMPAIGN - PHASE 2. Last week we reported about the effort by a few gay rights activists to "out" high-ranking, closeted gay staffers on Capitol Hill if their bosses supported the proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. Now, Michael Rogers -- one the two who led the effort to "expose hypocrisy" -- is turning his efforts in a new direction. The target: married heterosexual Congressmen and US Senators who loudly decry gay marriage as endangering the sacred institution of marriage -- while they privately engage in adulterous affairs. Rogers is currently collecting money so that he can purchase ads seeking tips. He promises to investigate all leads and report upon any facts he can establish. Hmmm ... this could get very interesting!

************************************************************

Politics1.com

Politics1.com is a weblog run by Ron Gunzburger, a political consultant. Its focus is primarily U.S. politics.

Originally started in late 1997 as a public service project, Politics1.com has gained a fairly loyal fan base over the years. It has been hailed by main stream politicians, as well as third party and fringe candidates who appreciate Gunzburger's willingness to give them equal time. In addition, Politics1 has gained praise from publications such as PC Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, The Chicago Tribune, USA Today, and The Economist. [1]

The Politics1.com website consists of a main page, on which news updates concerning state and national political events are regularly posted. The website also includes a comprehensive list of state-wide and Congressional candidates for each state, and, often, a list of candidates and potential candidates for the next presidential election.

Claims of liberal bias

The political coverage of Politics1.com has been accused by some of having a liberal slant. This has especially been the case since Ron Gunzburger admitted to being an ardent supporter of former Vermont Governor Howard Dean. However, Gunzburger notes that, in the past, he has worked for candidates of both parties, and that he has voted for Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.

Nevertheless, in 2005, Gunzburger admitted that some of his blog's contents have "shifted to the left". Still, he maintains that all editorial entries are noted as such, and that his coverage of politics remains fair and neutral. [2]

Gunzburger's hiatus

After Politics1.com had been up for several years, the work of posting daily political updates started to become too time consuming for Ron Gunzburger, who runs the site alone. In 2004, he attempted to remove some of this burden by giving the readers of Politics1.com the opportunity to write their own entries. Few such entries were ever posted, however. In early 2005 Gunzburger announced that the site was shutting down because posting had become "dreaded work" instead of "fun." [3]

Although Gunzburger said that he expected his time off from the site to last until early 2006, he began posting new entries again after only a few months. Gunzburger's brief hiatus was, however, long enough to give rise to several spin off sites, including NewPolitics1, The Kentucky Democrat, and PoliticsVT.

Update schedule

As of this writing, news updates on Politics1.com are generally posted once a day Monday-Friday, plus one entry for the weekend.
