Daric Richie dupes PMF and Peter Quennell

Did an Amanda Knox protest happen against a little known blogger? (Read further to find out what on earth I'm talking about!)

There are times following guilters when even I'm surprised.  I sit back and think "They can't really be this stupid can they?".  Thing is, guilters are always one upping themselves on the dumb meter.  This incident is no exception.  The whole situation is so absurd that it's almost difficult to explain.  For a group of cyber-idiots that is always quick to google everything and anything in order to try to substantiate whatever they can, it's surprising they didn't even notice they were and still are being bamboozled by a fame seeking young in'.

So before we get into how PMF was duped, lets talk about who duped them.  A kid who calls himself Daric Richie. Besides Peter Quennell, I don't think I've seen a bigger pathological liar in my life, which is why it's so funny that the two took to each other so fast (more later).

So who is Daric?  Long story short, he's appears to be an internet personality who has been trying to make himself famous in the most desperate way possible:  writing online articles about himself with fake names all over the internet.  A quick google shows what looks like boatloads of articles he's written about himself on as many sites as possible, all with made up names, desperately trying to make himself famous.  Here is the google search in case you're feeling lazy.

Here are articles about him on Zimbio.

He's even made a wiki about himself.

And an urgent press release.

And a blogger profile.

I don't think I'm going out on a limb when I say I think know who wrote all of the above articles.  I dunno, what do YOU think?

I also suggest watching this video called Daric Rawr Exposed! which was done by a woman who figured things out pretty quick.  Also, this video also has some interesting stuff as well. There are also allegations swirling around the internet that he actually made up a fake boyfriend and made up some weird stuff after that.   I'm not touching it with a ten foot pole.   This of course sounds unbelievable at first, until you read more and more about the guy to the point where it does actually sound totally believable.  He's like Peter Quennell's little understudy I guess.

Oh, he also has two books on Amazon.  His Amazon sales rank shows that not a single person has bought his book though.

Anyhoo, the kid comes off as a total online con artist, and it's completely obvious to any rational person....which is why he's so easily duped PMF.

So what does this have to do with the Amanda Knox case?

Great question.  I'm glad you asked.  In order to gain attention, Daric began writing articles about himself and his opinions on the Amanda Knox case using a fake alias.  The articles have been removed by Examiner.com, who caught on pretty quick to what was going on.  (Note to anyone making up fake reporter personas:  If you're going to pretend be a long time journalist, don't  say your fake persona used to write for the Washington post when (a) the Washington Post has no record of articles from that made up person and (b) if the person actually wrote for the Washington Post, they probably would know how to use a semicolon and write semi-literately).

You can't see the examiner articles any more, but they're still in the Google Cache.  Here are some of them and the headlines:

"Italian Church rips Daric Richie for his defending Amanda Knox"

"Tacoma Blogger Daric Richie faces criticism after defending Amanda Knox"

When his fake support of Amanda Knox didn't garer him any attention, he suddenly did a 180 and changed his mind!  The headline read:

"Daric Richie's sudden change in verdict sparks outrage"

The fake article stated: "Daric (16) who was seen leaving his home earlier this morning 'Ran into an outraged group of protestors while reportedly heading to his local library to study for his upcoming life as a college student' says neighbor Lisa Guarani."

Lo and behold, for about the last five days, Mr. Daric has been posting frequently on PMF, and has been admired by all.

Now, most people's BS detector would go off after reading one of these articles, but even as of TODAY, there are PMFers distraught over this blatantly made up story.

One of the posters who calls herself "The Bard" (or as she is often referred to as "stupid even for PMF"), giving us the guilter quote of the day:  ****WARNING:  Do NOT drink anything while reading this****

"This is totally UNACCEPTABLE.  You are a minor.  Your mother should not be upset by this either.  I too am appalled that a child of sixteen is being targeted, going about his business, by supporters of a convicted murder.  Is the FOA in total meltdown?  What kind of publicity is this going to bring them?  Are there factions outside the control of central command and Marriott?  Surely so.  Not intelligent strategist would condone this tactic.

Daric, you are learning first hand -- like Skep -- what it means to be harassed for stating your views, and standing up for the right to express them.  It is a political act on one level.  Well done.  Don't forget: the USA has freedom of speech.  You are doing nothing wrong.  This is how it should be.  But it's tough to be in the firing line.  You're learning more about politics than any University could teach you in a first year.  Stand firm.  Don't be bullied.  Don't be afraid.  Best wishes to your Mother.  I hope she's ok.  She should be very proud of you.  What is happening to you is showing the level of desperation the FOA will resort to.  Their desperation is stunning."

Yes Bard, it truly is stunning.

But there's more from Bard:

"Hang on. Let me get this absolutely straight: You, a sixteen year old boy, are being ambushed and lobbied by a group of Amanda Knox supporters, who have traced where you live? The Friends of Amanda (FOA) are directly targetting a 16 year old kid.  Daric, please confirm. This is totally unacceptable. Doug has sold the story to news outlets???? What's the headline: 16 year old kid reads Massei and concludes it right.com?   Daric, you have no IDEA what you are doing for Meredith, god love you...".

Almost as priceless as the Bard's above quote is how amazingly well Daric got along with likeminded weirdo Peter Quennell.

On the fake protest Daric Richie made out of the air, Peter Quennell wrote the following ****WARNING: do NOT drink anything while reading*****:

"FOA must have a contract with Rentacrowd for instant demos outside peoples homes.  This is getting more Monty Pythonesque by the day.

Pete."

Earlier, Quennell commented on the fake article Richie wrote about himself where the Catholic Church admonished him for his support of Knox:

"Tks Stilicho. I think more interesting than the blogger read in more than 6 countries is is that an Italian Catholic church ("Santa Maria Di Monteluce") seems to be accepting guilt as the verdict.   Santa Maria Di Monteluce is the name of a big church in Perugia and I cant find any others. Anyone? What is the score here?

Pete"

Of course, when Peter Quennell thought Daric was on the other side, he had this to say:

"Its "Bruce Fishers" territory for sure, Daric's high-readership claims are also a joke. His blog is not even in the top 5 million in readers.  For comparison, the website tracker Alexa has PMF and TJMK each in the top 1/2 million and (again) rising fast. Maybe 50X what his readers are.  

The guy is a ninny on a trip. Nothing more."

(You'll notice the irony in the level of skepticism Fat Pete exhibits if someone disagrees with him and the discrepancy when they come into his corner).

So was the protest real?  Of course not, nothing Daric Richie says is real.  And its obvious to anyone with half a brain.  Nevertheless, Friends of Amanda has listed an official statement:

FOA STATEMENT RE DARIC RICHIE

It has come to our attention that a recent FOA protest action had the effect of driving Daric Richie and his mother out of their Tacoma residence and into hiding at an undisclosed location. 

We wish to emphasize that this action was not authorized by FOA. It was the unfortunate result of a logistical and communication error. Like many large organizations, FOA is beset by control weaknesses between functional silos. A mid-level FOA executive inadvertantly attached the wrong URL to an email authorizing the protest, and our director of field operations failed to confirm the proper location. An action that was intended to target Giuliano Mignini in Perugia, Italy, ended up taking place at a grocery store in Tacoma, Washington.

The error was further compounded by a decision to work with a new subcontractor on this particular project. FOA commands vast financial resources, but cost pressures affect our organization just as they do any other. We sought to economize by working with a small firm whose core business is repossessing automobiles. The culture of this organization is not compatible with our objectives, and we will not be using their services again.

FOA therefore wishes to apologize to Daric Richie and to Mrs. Richie. You may return to your home with the assurance that we will not bother you again. You may also swing by our office parking lot any time during normal business hours, to reclaim your car. 


WHAT DO YOU THINK?  IS PMF PLAYING DUMB?  OR ARE THEY JUST THAT DUMB?

Peter Quennell's Stupidity Knows No Bounds

With the power of airburshing, I've managed to make Peter Quennell look semi-human.

One of the more notorious guilters is a random fat guy named Peter Quennell who runs the blog True Justice for Meredith Kercher.  If only this blog had been going longer, we'd have an enormous stock pile of hilarious quotes archived for your enjoyment.  Sadly, we can't change the past so let's start with just today.  

Yesterday a panel forum was held in Seattle where former FBI agent Steve Moore gave a presentation on forensics.  We don't plan on discussing the presentation here, but Peter Quennell's reaction on his website was absolutely priceless and shows just how dumb this guy is.

So here we go.  A poster on his site commented after watching video of Moore:

"Is it Just me but is Steve Moore Drunk?  He's clearly sipping a can of beer."

Now, any person who is not a complete moron would probably doubt right away that an FBI agent giving a presentation on a college campus probably is drinking beer on the stage.  You would think the blog administrator would swoop in and say "Ok, we don't like the guy, but let's not get ridiculous".  But what you have to remember is, Peter Quennell is really really really stupid.

So instead of calling the person crazy, Quennell speculates that this is possibly true.  And to top it all off, he uses the opportunity to threaten all the panelists with criminal action!  He replies:

"Drunk? Possibly!  It would explain why he repeats the PRECISE-SAME libels that already have Amanda and both her parents facing charges for calunnia back in Perugia. (NOt that being drunk is any defense. 

Several of the others on that panel in our lawyers' view committed probably calunnia and if the prosecutors and others slimed back in Perugia are smart they will grab a copy of that incredibly misjudged video (we already have one) and start the summons paperwork rolling."

Boy, Peter Quennell really does have us all scared about getting charged with calunnia....not!

Peter Quennell was so excited by this possible discovery that he went over to PMF and asked "One of the posters on TJMK just asked if anyone else thought that Steve Moore looked drunk.  Is that a can of beer he is waving?".  So far, no one has answered him.  Probably a good strategy PMF.  Just stay quiet and hope no one notices that level of stupidity.

To be honest, you don't really need to read this blog or Peter Quennell's blog to know what he is going to say.  In fact, if you're only interest is wondering what Peter Quennell will do next, I can give you basic primer on pretty much everything Peter Quennell will ever write.  Here goes:

Yada yada yada, New York City.  Bla bla bla, our lawyers tell me bla bla bla.  I'll sue you bla bla bla.  All the major networks in New York City tell us bla bla bla.  I'll sue you!

We'll be paying close attention to Peter Quennell in the future as he provides a LOT of comic relief.  

Oh, one last thing.  Peter Quennell HATES the way he looks.  Which is totally ironic as he likes to make fun of other peoples' appearances.  He was filmed for a documentary on the case and was belligerent about the way he looked in the movie saying it was an ambush job.  Here is what he looked like in the documentary:

Quennell's picture from TV documentary.

Ok, I can kind of see why he would be in total denial and not want people to think that was him.  But I'm sorry Mr. Quennell, no tv camera work created that that triple chin.  You can't just create that out of thin air.

Any time this photo is mentioned, Peter Quennell desperately points people to his facebook page to see what he "really looks like".  Here is the picture he claims looks like the real him:

Quennell's facebook pic.

Ok people, let's be reasonable here.  Which do you think is more accurate.  An image taken in clear light by a professional television camera crew, or Peter Quennell's blurry pic taken from 20 feet away in black and white?  Don't these two pics look a little off to you?  Luckily, we're a democracy here, so please take the poll on the sidebar to put in your vote of which photo you think is more accurate.

Lastly, he constantly points to his facebook page so you can "check out his credentials".  Well, take a look at his facebook for yourself.  Here is a link.  Have fun trying to decipher exactly what Peter Quennell does for a living or what credentials he has based on that!

The Weekend Ends with Exciting Guilterin'

PMFers:  Proof that guilters have no sense of irony.

What a fantastic Sunday in guilterland.   During the weekend, it was revealed by Oggi magazine that the independent experts found no trace of bleach on the supposed "murder knife" that was allegedly cleaned with....bleach.

Ya, you'd think this would be big news in guilterland.  But what was more important? Page after page bickering about gun ownership.  I kid you not.  The back and forth led to hysterical jawing with multiple "Get the f!@# over yourselves" when disagreements over this irrelevant discussion got too heated.  (Trivia: how many guns were used in the murder of Meredith Kercher?).  Their boredom over there knows no bounds!  But that's why we read them---so you don't have to!

Guilter quote for Sunday goes to Randy Jackson, AKA, fly-by-night, for having no sense of irony:

"Do you realize that you are forming your opinion on the basis of 'leaked' information that no one knows the origin of or validity of?"

This warrants no further explanation, but is GREAT for a good laugh.  

Many apologies for not posting everyday, but unlike Peggy Ganong, I actually have a job that takes some of my time!

The reviews are in: PMF critics don't think this blog is very funny.

PMFers are proving harder and harder to please these days.

Early this morning this blog was finally discovered by the cybercrawlers over at Perugia Murder File, who got their first glimpse of the Guilter Talkin'.  The reviews began to roll in, and unexpectedly the critics were quite harsh!

The first 3 reviews:

H9:  "Not nice folks...."

Fuji:  "Not very intelligent, either. You owe me the 30 seconds of my life I wasted on that link, H9!".

Piktor:  "Maybe the humor lasts all of April 1. Then reverts to conspiraloon boiling pot, as its sister sites."

As you can see, the early criticism from guilterland has been quite harsh!  Luckily, PMF's "senior moderator" Peggy Ganong was less harsh on us here (or was just using her 1000th excuse to talk more about Bruce Fisher.  We're still trying to figure out if she is secretly in love with him):

Peggy Ganong:  "At least this shows an attempt at humor, something that seems to be totally lacking in the Starship Enterprise steered by "Bruce Fisher" TM. It isn't very funny, but it isn't devoid of humor. A sign of progress? Is it possible?".

Thank you to all PMFers for your reviews!  We invite you to post any more constructive reviews you have in the comments section below.

Fortunately for us, guilters say countless stupid things everyday.  So keep talking guilterland.  The more you talk, the more fodder we have, and the better this website becomes!  We couldn't do it without you.  Thanks to all!

This just in: Peggy Ganong is not a fan of Bruce Fisher (TM)!

Will the real Bruce Fisher (TM) please stand up?!

On normal days, most people probably get up in the morning, take a nice soothing shower to wake themselves up and eat breakfast before going to work.  This kind of normal and boring routine might work for some people, but not for thrill seekers like Perugia Murder File's "senior moderator" Peggy Ganong.

What does Peggy Ganong like in the morning?  Well, based on a scouring of her bantering posts on PMF, she likes to start her day off with a big bowl of Bruce Fisher (TM).

Now I'm not saying Peggy Ganong has let Bruce Fisher (TM) get inside her head, but it's 10:49AM Pacific Standard Time as I write this entry, and Ganong is already approaching 700 words----all dedicated of course to Bruce Fisher (TM).  It's been hard to keep up quite honestly, but we here are determined to keep our readers informed.  Below, you will find today's rants about Bruce Fisher (TM) by Peggy Ganong, which we will update throughout the day:

NOTE:  This page is being updated throughout the day!  Please bear with us as we try to keep up!  


Comments added after this original post (Yup, she's still going strong people!):

*It seems fitting that April 1st be known around here as "Bruce Fisher" TM day. Does anyone know if BFTM "clucks" when he disapproves of things, as a prelude to tattling and shaming? If so, it must happen often, several hundred times a day. In all US states?

*So there is a chance that "Bruce Fisher" TM is genderless?! Or a neuter/eunich?

*I owe it all to the mounting hysteria displayed by the consortium known as......  Bruce Fisher TM.  Without his/her/its* endless, tireless and equally tiresome tirades here, there and everywhere, I would have no material.

*As indicated by H9's super useful BFTM stats, nearly a hundred of the nearly 500 BF's in the US are genderless. This is a fun fact with which to impress your friends, folks.  The sound you hear right now is the sound of 500 BF's "clucking" in disapproval.

*This makes Jimbo's intervention even harder to understand then. Especially as the system of justice has not finished working this through. I think that Bruce Fisher TM is really just looking to use wiki for free advertising and free proselytizing purposes.

These are the comments today before this blog was originally posted:

*At least this shows an attempt at humor, something that seems to be totally lacking in the Starship Enterprise steered by "Bruce Fisher" TM. It isn't very funny, but it isn't devoid of humor. A sign of progress? Is it possible?  Unfortunately, it would be hard to strike back with a similar lampoon of "Bruce Fisher" TM because he is himself a joke with no sense of humor.

*Who needs a Bruce Fisher TM circle of jerks satire page when there are already several, adding material 24/7? That's right, I'm talking about the wiki talk page, the Injustice in Perugia blog... etc. And for the digitally challenged, Bruce Fisher TM has published his self satire in physical book form!

*Bruce Fisher TM, it seems, operates by trying to shame people and being a tattle tale. He would have been leading the charge against Hester Prynne, and probably would have volunteered to etch the scarlet letter A on her forehead with a penknife, had he been among the good Puritans of the "New World". 

*BFTM has recently taken to letting people know what I have posted about them, very selectively of course, as a way of shaming them and discrediting me. He must really lack for activity. 

*BFTM is a tattle tale and a town gossip. If he lived in a lapidation culture, he would be throwing stones first and asking questions later.  I just found an earlier photo of BFTM, which proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that his career as a tattle tale and gossip started when he was quite young.

*I think Bruce Fisher is actually one of the individuals in the "Bruce Fisher" TM consortium. But he is a nobody, and most of the others associating with him do not want it known that they are associated with him. It will be interesting to see what kind of bio Jimbo is able to find on the guy, Bruce Fisher of New York City. It was easy enough finding his photo. I googled "dumbest animal in the world" and then clicked on images.

*Seriously, he did have a FB page and photo at one time. I think we have a photo. And then there is the home video he made. But who knows if this is Bruce Fisher? We know it isn't the Seattle cameraman, who apparently is embarrassed to have been confused with BF of NYC for even a brief moment. I can certainly understand why this would be so.

*I just hope that the flock does what Bruce Fisher TM says, not what he does. At least he has pulled the shorts up over his midsection, which is considerate of him, but he really needs to lose the cigarette. Not very sexy.

*A RARE FIND!  As you all know, "Bruce Fisher" TM is an entity who refuses to show its face to the public. I have done some digging and have finally come up with a rare photo of "Bruce Fisher" TM ministering to his flock! I can't reveal how I found this rare photo. If you look closely at the flock gathered round, you may recognize some familiar faces.

*We know that these are the things that Bruce FisherTM and Co. really think are important; it is rather fascinating to see them all together mulllng it over in one place. Kind of like an FOA strategy session for the junior personnel. The FOA big wigs are smoking cigars in the backroom.

*They will blame wiki bias for the sentences and declare a fatwah on Jimbo.  Bruce Fisher TM will open a new blog called The Tattler and another one called Shameboy. He will get his own reality TV show, with various former and forgotten reality TV "actors" playing "Bruce Fisher". The show will get cancelled, and BFTM will blame whoever is in the White House and Berlusconi. Heads will roll, stones will be thrown, scarlet A's will be etched onto foreheads with a penknife. O brave new world!
