Not Fake News

gatorfisch:

Do what you like with this.

Let me tell you a story. Some time ago a couple of journalists from a tabloid newspaper (one a really big early AC/DC fan – don’t worry it’s relevant) got so fed up with being sent bile from gatorfish’s tumblr almost every single day that they decided to play an April fools joke on the people they thought were the ringleaders.

Unfortunately they didn’t factor in both the stupidity and malice those people embody.

First they identified the targets – gatorfisch and aelterileaf and decided that a bizarre story with esoteric elements would get the best response, especially if they sent info to A.

Then they concocted a story (and built a crude website but that never got into production).

The story went a bit like this. The Cumberbatch and Hunter families have been linked for generations and were concerned with alchemy and wicca. The key here was that Benedict’s grandmother lived a few streets away from pioneer wicca Doreen Vailente in Brighton so she looked like a good candidate to build a lie on. Then they looked at Sophie’s family tree and found a grandmother whose surname was Scott. Great said our AC/DC obsessed journo, I know what we can do. The late Bon Scott (lead singer of AC/DC) lived in London in the seventies with his girlfriend Silver Smith. Why don’t we imply he was actually Sophie’s father and that she was created to either be a ‘moonchild’ or as a candidate for a later symbolic chemical wedding. We’ll suggest BS and Sophie’s grandmother were connected. We’ll link all three older women and make it a conspiracy of crones.

Then they decided to send clues about this and an existing(imaginary) alchemical group based in London under the leadership of Spitalfields historian Dan Cruickshank (he was on the telly in the pub at the time) to Aelteri. Clues which would eventually give them an email address and a link to the website, where they would be categorically rick-rolled on April Fools Day.

But it all went a bit wrong. A and G (and they knew they were linked and one was responsible for the constant stream of bile to their paper) proved far too stupid to follow the very simple clues. The best they could do was post a pic of Bon Scott and Silver Smith on G’s Tumblr (you can check, it’s still there). The journalists promised them documentary evidence which linked the two families and painted both BC and SH as either victims of their grandmothers or alchemists in a magically arranged marriage. But either A and G got the wrong end of the stick or they are actually evil – as you can see from G’s reveal yesterday which makes Benedict the victim and Sophie the evil black magician. So our two drunken journos decided to cut their losses and pull out before it got worse.

At no point did G and A try to get proofs or make actual contact but G posted her supposed tea which came from a new source. Tea which bore no relationship to the info they were fed.

Pretty much an indication that G and A are actually evil and/or extremely stupid I think.

Interesting….I say this because this isn’t how I found out about the tea I have. And I haven’t spoken or contacted any journalists in almost two years. I can’t speak for Aeltri, other than she knows about my tea, but all I can say about this is, “Nice try.” And I never said it was a new source, did I? I will say this: it’s obvious this is a touchy subject, so I don’t plan on saying anything more on it. Especially if my tea is correct. It looks like people are spooked and I don’t want to impede on any of the work being done bts.

LOL, is this the best that dim-witted bitch can do? Well, the jokes on all of them then. You see I research everything very carefully, so guess what? Their lame attempts at throwing us off the scent didn’t work. SH is involved in some capacity with both CoS and OTO, that much is old tea from my own reliable sources. I never gave much credence to the theory that the ShamWow was some sort of arranged union. IMO the reality is far more mundane, it was a PR deal gone horribly wrong due to the greed and mental instability of the RCGF selected as a backup. She needed allies to carry out her plan but she didn’t really have anything going for her. What’s a talentless, aging hooker to do? Enlist the aid of some well-to-do Johns and ingratiate herself with a bunch of cultists etc. that have connections in the industry. The rest is pretty easy to figure out…
