False claims of military service

Joe and the rest of the idiots should take note of what laws Joe Cafasso has violated, including the Stolen Valor Act of 2005.

What follows is a part the Federal False Claims Act, and by all appearances, Joe Cafasso is guilty of having done this, because he was circulating his fake retired Lt. Col. schtick under the ficitious name of Gerry Blackwood, just last year, in 2006. Perhaps it is too late to get him under the Stolen Valor Act of 2005, because he assumed another name and identity in order to do the same thing he did with Fox under his real name, Joe Cafasso.

As a sidenote, it would appear as though his denials and revisions at Wikipedia are solely designed to avoid any legal repurcussions of his fraudulent military claims; but let us not forget that he has attempted to defraud Presbyterian Ministries in Mississippi of their grant money, trying to obtain bank account numbers, after trying to elbow his way in as Director of Development. When he didn't get away with that, he called a number of federal agencies with complaints, trying to appear as a whistleblower, when all he really is -is a two-bit hack con artist who didn't get away with that scam.

But just the fact that he keeps trying to do it means that it must work at least a part of the time. So what we're interested in is when he actually succeeds and is able to line his pocket with stolen funds that were meant for another purpose.

Colonel Cafasso, has claimed to be a highly decorated Delta Force Commando, who has been awarded three Silver Stars for Valor in Combat, Air Medals for Valor, at least one Bronze Star for Valor, and participated in Operation Eagle Claw- the Delta Force rescue attempt of American hostages in Iran.

Joe Cafasso is having a meltdown, call Bellevue

Amidst the odd undertakings of our pathetic stalker Joe Cafasso, is the mysterious deletion of the blogs "Tiffany-Twisted" and Your Worst Nightmare (a copy of this one). This post was written in November of 2006, but I held onto it to publish at a more likely, more felicitous occasion. Time has a wonderful way of presenting opportunities, and so, here's a love letter of sorts to Joe, who should know by now that his time as a free man is probably very short.

Now, Joe is accustomed to having the upper hand, as most of us know. Or at least he liked to THINK he has the upper hand. He uses threats, intimidation and brutality, lies and obfuscation to achieve it. Interestingly, now, the tables have turned and that's hit a nerve. He is now officially 'out of control'. Instead of acting like the gent who's always thinking (that most people know), he's now acting like an hysterical fishwife yelling out of a window. We assume that this imaginative website was the handiwork of Cafasso because they have his signature fingerprints all over them and mention certain individuals who he carries on about at Stuporpatriots.

"Tiffany-Twisted" was devoted to Cafasso, Robert Gates, Jack Idema, Lynn Thomas, and others. The purpose seemed to be solely in order to confuse the truth about Cafasso which seems to be sneaking out all over the internet, despite his threats and illegal actions. Cafasso is taking the same tired old action we've seen in the past against the people he thinks might be onto him and completely fed up with his crap.

Like the people at Fox News were.

Here's the thing; he doesn't know how many of them there really are. He can't change his modus operendi from the methodology which has worked for so long, because he's stuck. He's not flexible. He can't improvise, adapt and overcome. He found a success formula, isn't working anymore, so he's doing precisely that which he's quoted himself; the definition of insanity. He's doing the same thing over and over again now, expecting different results. Even though it's clear he wants to send a message to anyone who might be thinking of revealing his true nature, the simple facts which have grown into a mountain of bs only a bovine could love. What do skiiers do when an avalanche starts? What are they instructed to do? They're instructed to get the hell out of there because you can't stop an avalanche once the sound has reverberated through the mountains; the momentum only builds, you could get killed from the falling snow. But Joe defies the laws of nature, he knows perfectly well all that he's done; and the laws he's broken in order to accomplish his goals, the false stories he's spread, the conversations he's had with himself on the internet under different pseudonyms, and the endless energy he's spent in order to hurt other people. But to have people point it out? Gee, it looks as though we're not supposed to do that in Joe Cafasso's world. He's supposed to continue getting away with it, right??? WRONG.

He has committed identity theft, but regurgitates the same terms we've read time and again at Stuporpatriots regarding other people; repeats the same problems with grammar and contractions, accuses women of having Jack Idema for their boyfriend, when they've caught onto his little game. Much like Kathryn Cramer, who calls people who've caught onto Cafasso's game people who've been 'brainwashed' by the other side or had a conversion experience to the Jack Idema Cult.

Whilst I'm on the subject, we should remember the strange bedfellows they keep...and that what they accuse others of doing, they're oftentimes guilty of having done themselves.

It's the same tired tripe we've heard from both of them elsewhere, and it must be disturbing that people are beginning to respond to the two of them like people did in the fable about the little boy crying "Wolf". Cafasso is like a broken record and this type of thing is very recognizable, regardless as to the name he uses. His hysteria is merely growing as the appearance and disappearance of sites like these tells us.

There is a never-ending stream of personal attacks on people and malicious lies from this man, all online, some offline, using other underhanded devious methods, such as having mail re-routed and other crimes. Just on the one hand you can add up the federal offences, which then move over to the other hand. It is odd that he doesn't realize that it's unacceptable behavior; perhaps because he's been getting away with it for so long. Funny thing is, he's boxing himself in with his own disreputable behavior, and doesn't even recognize it. This is a man who's losing his marbles! Although it would seem that by not recognizing or caring that his behavior is criminal, he started out with one or two missing, anyway.

Tiffany-Twisted was targeting Jack Idema supporters such as John Tiffany, and the "Your Worst Nightmare" solely targets Lynn Thomas from Cao's blog. She has been a vocal supporter of our work; as she has been one of the targets, as we've discussed earlier. Each little piece of the story, told by different individuals, is helping us put together the bigger picture. But they're too stupid to keep their mouths shut, and keep running off. Cramer has taken to making a complete fool of herself over Cafasso which would leave one to believe she's a woman scorned. What other possible explanation could there be? Certainly it's not the money she claims he stole from her; that 20 grand, or the computer which she seems to have done nothing about to reclaim.

Joe's psyche is obviously coming apart at the seams. Who's psychotic and homocidal? It's the man who couldn't get his mitts on the Al Qaeda tapes and supported Jack Idema's assassination in order to get them.

“I told [told [CENSORED]…you should have just used a suppressor and blew him [Jack], blew him away,” Cafasso later said during a meeting in Washington, DC.

Apparently, Cafasso and FOX News were upset that CBS 60 Minutes II had obtained captured al-Qaida training footage from the advisor that Cafasso and FOX News had wanted first. Cafasso was willing to go to any lengths to get exclusive FOX coverage, even through an assassination.

(Hunt for Bin Laden, p. 249) Yes, Kathryn, it's not made up, it's for real, your boyfriend really said it, it's on tape.

Seems as though his affinity for identity theft is now surfacing, although he's running around deleting some of these not long after they're put up.

This one is no longer there, but you can take a look and see that the picture he ripped off and stuck in the left hand corner is the same one he has up at Stuporpatriots with his own image photoshopped in with a turban on his head as mini-me. Mini-me will have his personal awakening, his epiphany soon enough-very soon.

new names to be added

I'm going to add these to the header, but we have Tom Adams and Jake Adams as new names Cafasso has been using, maybe insinuating he's somehow involved with Samuel Adams, who knows?

Samuel Adams beer is the Samuel Adams Boston Lager, which seems to fit in with Cafasso's drinking persona, although he seems to favor Jack Daniels. Still, as someone who likes to pretend that he's a member of the big money elite, he might well be trying to pretend he's related to the Samuel Adams family of Revolutionary times, it's hard to say what goes on in this ligger's brain.

Now, the company that produces the Samuel Adams Boston Lager produces 11 varieties of beer...and several special varieties which are seasonal, but it would make sense that Joe would claim that he has some type of heritage like this...he's a narcissist, who along the way, picks up the names of prominent people and then pronounces their affiliations and associations as his own. He's a chameleon of sorts.

the Cafasso story has really only just begun

With more and more people made aware of what Cafasso has been doing to others in his lifetime, including running off, delinquent on his child support payments, and other infractions, it should be interesting to see where he turns up next, or if he just decides to go underground until the heat is off.

By the way, Bicanic has it wrong about Cafasso being 56 years old. Cafasso is not 56; he falsified that number in order to make himself old enough to have gone to Vietnam so that people would believe his story about working with Knightsbridge International as a result of his killing a 14-year-old child when he was in Laos on a black ops mission.

What a bunch of horse hockey.
