As promised, my most recent article has been updated with evidence that the cyberstalker who was targeting @_taylorhudak, @action_4assange & myself has now been caught targeting.......... himself.
I'll save you the reading time. Screenshots in the thread below this tweet.
1/?
Idiot sends idiotic messages to us. Idiot sends idiotic messages to himself. Idiot claims they're from someone else. Idiot gets busted because idiot is an idiot.
Idiot then cries "poor me" and makes up more idiotic stories because... idiot is an idiot.
Idiot claims my followers are threatening him. Insinuates I'm somehow responsible. Except I don't follow or communicate with the people he claims are doing it. And I'd already specifically stated that I didn't want any harm to come to him
Idiot circulates fiction about me
3/?
Idiot tries to claim I was never targeted in NZ and made it up. Eye-witnesses (including a 30-year veteran of media in NZ) step forward in defense of me.
Idiot does not retract his falsehoods or apologise (unsurprisingly)
4/?
Idiot shoots video of him giving an activist an Uzi and getting them to fire it, without schooling them on how to do so safely.
I get the video analysed by a gun safety expert, who enumerates why what Idiot is getting the activist to do is so dangerous
5/?
Apparently Idiot who doesn't know how to safely/correctly fire his Uzi failed to even type "How To Shoot An Uzi" into You Tube.
(No, I don't advise you to learn how to shoot via YT. It's an unreliable, bare minimum. I think guns are gross but if you like them, GET TRAINED)

In case you can't tell by my copious uses of the term 'Idiot', I am way past bored by this juvenile crap.
I felt a duty of care to the activists involved and thus have done the work exposing this, but it's time to move on to far, far better things.
My meagre comments on Glenn leaving The Intercept (TI), are below:
1. Everyone who suggested @ggreenwald was in cahoots with Omidyar to found The Intercept to shut down Snowden reporting should be eating their hats today
2. When Glenn edited TI *every* article was scintillating
...I should say "co-edited" but ran out of room.
In 2014+, I would go straight to TI every morning & read every single article on the website. It was groundbreaking content. Now I can't even remember the last time I visited the site. It is by in large vacuous mainstream drivel..
...that is virtually indistinguishable from any of 1,000 other churn outlets.
By contrast, Glenn's personal reporting has remained as vital a shining light as ever.
3. While I understand why people are using Substack & its obvious benefits, I do not personally want him there
On the below thread I want you to please tell me everything that upsets you about this user interface, application, the company that owns it & if someone else has already said it, in reply, like it.
Also feel welcome to suggest fixes to your gripes!
Complain away:
I'll start. It upsets me that timelines are no longer time-linear - I want my posts to appear in the order I post them and not with any regurgitated junk (or advertiser's junk) in between my posts
"Hi everyone, I'm @_taylorhudak from @acTVismMunich & welcome back to Part 3 of the exclusive series & interview with Lauri Love. Lauri I want to get your opinion on what we can expect for the future of the Assange case & especially if he is set free?"
