Thread by @MaxBlumenthal

The author of multiple malicious, false and retracted screeds about me, @areidross, emailed me about his plan to smear me again in the Daily Beast.

I wrote DB editor, @NoahShachtman, about ARR's record of disgrace & his current Koch-funded work w/ police spies & right-wingers.

Here's @areidross's email pitch to @TheGrayzoneNews, which I edit. He wrote as "Lilac" from Earth First, which was shady. Months after I rejected his incoherent proposal, he began accusing me of controlling a secret commie-fascist alliance with Kremlin space lasers.

I wonder if ARR's Earth First buddies find it odd that he now works with the Koch-funded "Network Contagion Research Institute," collaborating with a NYPD intelligence veteran, a Tea Party Republican, and DHS officials who call Antifa domestic terrorists. networkcontagion.us/about/
