CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED--VERY GRAPHIC

This YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opdwA6XKvWM showing the horrors of war on the children of Iraq is by its nature very GRAPHIC and should be viewed with extreme caution.

Nobody is telling the American public about the war in Iraq anymore, and it is the mission of this blogger to keep bringing images and the latest news from Iraq to people who still care about what is going on in Iraq.

Congrats on your blog. Your correct in the fact the children of Iraq are the victims of this disaster.

Another point, they are tearing the crap out of you for going to johnny$. It's too bad they tried to constrain you. However, if they were serious about only covering Faux personalities, it seems you should have parted ways at that point.

Too bad about Marie, but I suppose there comes a point you have to move on.

Glad I found your blog, the stories are iraqnam are not being covered and most people are in a fog because of it.

Good luck

Hi TR:

Thanks for posting on my blog.

I've seen all the crap about me on the Forum, and even signed up and tried to straighten out what happened but nobody cares to hear the truth.

I only went to Johnny$ because Ellen had gone on his site to paint an entirely different picture of what happened.

It is all water under the bridge now and I'm just happy to be out of there.

I feel sorry for Marie Therese because she was left out of the negotiations Ellen started with the others about limiting me to Ollie North and Geraldo. That is when Chris, that is her real name, wrote me to say she had written her letter of resignation. She then wrote and said she was leaving on Jan. 22 and had informated NH. I figured as long as NH knew it then it was OK to print it, too.

I see where so many of the old friends of mine are really ripping into me, but I wonder how they would feel if they couldn't post a comment on their own post, but could go to any other NH post and make a comment.

To this day nobody has yet explained that to me. I have written NH but they told me to delete all references to them from my e-mail list and they threatened legal action if I didn't.

It turned into a real mess, but I'm happy I'm away from there. Marie Therese (Chris) was planning on quitting before all this happened. She said she had problems with the direction of the blog and apparently nobody wanted to hear her ideas.

Ellen runs NH with an iron fist. WOKE wrote on another of my posts here that he had his problems with her too. You can find his comments in one of the posts down the line. There aren't that many comments so you should be able to find it.

Take care and drop by again. Nobody is covering the wars anymore and that is why I started this blog.

TR: Did you know they removed every single one of my comments from the News Hounds "Forum"

So much for freedom of speech.

Bill Corcoran said...

To TR and WOKE. Look at the latest. News Hounds is now threatening me. Here is what I wrote back with copies to scores of friends in the media as well as blind copies to many people who I have met down through the years.

To the women who run News Hounds:

Inasmuch as you wrote me, even after you DEMANDED I no longer communicate with ANYONE at News Hounds, I feel it is only right for me to present my side of the story which you have not allowed me to do on your News Hounds "Forum," which ostensibly is where people go who have grievances in what is supposed to be free and open "forum."

Now anyone reading this can go to the News Hounds "Forum" and they will see all of the comments I had made presenting my side of the story have been deleted.
http://forum.newshounds.us/viewtopic.php?t=19473&sid=8bc6ce82ff198ab6ba18a692085d742d

I have saved all the comments I made on the News Hounds "Forum" and there was no foul language, threats or anything other than me presenting my side of what happened to me with News Hounds. Yet ALL of my comments to the so-called free and open News Hounds "Forum" have been deleted.

Here is just one of the comments I made on the News Hounds "Forum" that was deleted. Does anyone see anything offensive in this letter of mine?

Here is the link to the News Hounds FORUM: http://forum.newshounds.us/viewtopic.php?p=293871#293871

Here is what I wrote:

I have had quite enough of the lies that are being spread about me on in this Forum. Here is what I wrote to one of the more popular people who would always comment on my guests posts on NH.

I take no pleasure in doing this, but I was told by my late father when I was very young that if you don't stand for something, you will FALL for anything.

Here is what I wrote to a NH commenter on my own blog which can be found here:

http://corksphere.blogspot.com/

Hi (name removed) It can be addictive. Take care of your health.

I saw everything about me on the Forum. I just wanted to set the record straight and somebody suggested I use Johnny$ to do it and that is what I did.

The person WE are talking IS young. I have the DVD of "OutFoxed" and they have one section of the video devoted to the women who were doing the research for the video and eventually became the "newshounds." Each one is interviewed and you get to see what they look like. If you have a DVD player, you might want to pick up the DVD version of "OutFoxed" Don't bother with the VHS (video) version because it doesn't have the section devoted to the women from NH.

I was told by Chris (Marie Therese) that she was furious when she was left out of the "loop" when our young friend and her buddies decided they were going to limit me to posting ONLY about Ollie North and Geraldo Rivera. She almost quit right then and there. She told me it was not the first time little miss know-it-all left her out of discussions about the blog. Marie Therese is a nice person, but her loyalty to NH is misplaced IMO. After reading what Vince P wrote on Johnny $ I'm more convinced than ever that the Queen Bee of NH used my IP to ban me from my own post, but not other posts on NH. In fact, on the Haloscan website they explain how a client (that would be NH) could single out certain people to block from posting and even block them from posting on only ONE post on NH. That is exactly what happened to me and I'm convinced the person we've been talking about is the one behind it. She is a "young" tyrant and I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw the Sears Tower.

In closing, I have yet to be told why I was banned from posting on my last guest post on NH, but I could post on any other NH post.

My post from Dec. 23 is: http://tinyurl.com/237qk3 on News Hounds and the whopping 1,164 comments posted to my post can be seen here: http://www.haloscan.com/comments/newshounds/13542/

The way this whole dustup was handled was very unprofessional and it time I set the record straight. That is why I posted a comment on Johnny Dollar's Place http://homepage.mac.com/mkoldys/blog/lvu220806184.html explaining I was NOT FIRED, but I QUIT.

The person in question from NH has gone on the Johnny Dollar site to make the initial comment about me that got all this started, and then can be seen making additional comment on the Johnny Dollar site here http://homepage.mac.com/mkoldys/blog/lvu220806184.html

I have learned a lot from this dreadful experience. I now have my own blog as I mentioned above, and I'm still devoting all my time and effort to covering the Iraq and Afghanistan wars that have dropped completely out of the mainstream media. I don't single out ONLY Fox because ALL of the media are at fault.

Again, I invite anyone to make their comments here, or go to my blog http://corksphere.blogspot.com/
and post your own comment. Everyone is welcome and I don't screen or delete people I don't agree with.

Bill Corcoran, former guest blogger for News Hounds.


I see where News Hounds is now making some kind of veiled threat about further action against me. Perhaps I should consider their words as meaning a physical threat against me. Certainly the News Hounds women don't feel my words in a free and open "Forum" were in anyway threatening so what else can I assume than they are the ones who are considering physical harm directed at me.

Let me see if I've got this right. The News Hounds women ban me from posting on my own guest post.
My post from Dec. 23 is: http://tinyurl.com/237qk3 on News Hounds and the whopping 1,164 comments posted to my post can be seen here: http://www.haloscan.com/comments/newshounds/13542/.

But I was allowed to post on any other News Hounds post.

Then I was told to NEVER write to anyone at News Hounds and to delete all News Hounds e-mails, business and personal, from my e-mail directory. I did just that until this letter came to me from News Hounds making what appears to be a physical threat on my life.

I heard that one of the News Hounds women had gone to the Johnny Dollar website and made comments about me so I went to the Johnny Dollar website and this is what I wrote and you can read all the comments that followed: http://homepage.mac.com/mkoldys/blog/lvu220806184.html

I was told my an old buddy from the News Hounds website that I was the subject of a topic in the free and open News Hounds "Forum." I registered and logged in and made my comments about what had happened to me in a civil manner on the News Hounds "Forum" about me: http://forum.newshounds.us/viewtopic.php?t=19473&sid=53752b31e2ec137a98cd359de87f5efd.

Next came the banning of me from the News Hounds free and open "Forum" as you can see in what is printed below.

Since I have broken no laws. Made no threats to anyone at News Hounds. Did not post any vile or foul language comments, I can only assume the News Hounds letter below that has been sent to EVERYONE I have contact with in the mainstream media is couched in terms that can ONLY mean News Hounds is planning on taking physical action against me. Legal action would be worthless because I have done nothing wrong legally, but the wording of the News Hounds letter leads me to believe they are planning some physical action against me.

From my perspective, all the proper police and even the FBI have been notified, this is after all an across state lines matter, so if anything happens to me they will know who to go to start investigating first.

Thanks for your patience in once again listening to my side of the story in this never-ending saga of News Hounds vs. Bill Corcoran.

All my best,

Bill Corcoran,

P.S. I now have my own blog devoted to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan which are no longer covered by the mainstream media. Check it out here: http://corksphere.blogspot.com/

On Jan 4, 2008 11:36 AM,

A day ago I registered to post comments on the News Hounds "Forum." I made several comments in defense of all the "lefties" that were attacking me. People that I thought were friends of mine when I was a regular "guest poster" on News Hounds.
But was I ever wrong.
This morning I went to the News Hounds "Forum" to see what was being said about me in a thread that gets longer and longer: http://tinyurl.com/yqzyot

To my surprise I have been BANNED----Again. This is ridiculous. How can any leftwing organization who claims to be for freedom of speech andagainst censorship ban someone because they don't agree with what the person is saying?

Here is what I found when I went sign on the News Hounds Forum:

Bill:

woke tried to get some answers, but got the silent treatment. Our "friend" did not want to discuss the topic anymore, especially about the constraints on your coverage.

Maybe I'll turn into a troll on them. The site is pretty predictable, 10-12 liberals talking among themselves with an occasional troll they like to beat up.

Bill Corcoran said...

TR AND WOKE: Take a look at what our "little friend" has done now. She not only contacted AOL, but she sent the letter below to all my news contacts virtually demanding they ban my e-mails. She is worse than Adolf Hitler.

Here is the letter that went out to AOL and scores of my media contacts, who must be laughing at her stupidity. You don't tell news people they can't accept e-mails from an American citizen.

To Whom It May Concern,
One of your users, Bill Corcoran, whose email address is CorkCol@aol.com has been harrassing us with a barrage of irrational, angry and accusatory emails that he is also broadcasting to people in the media, the blogosphere and elsewhere. After many attempts at discussing his complaints with him, we have severed our ties with him and asked him to stop contacting us altogether. Yet, he persists. Following is our formal request that he stop contacting us and the emails that he sent us after that. Please know that we are seeking legal assistance in this matter. In the meanwhile, we believe Corcoran's activity is a violation of his Terms of Service contract and ask you to take all appropriate action.

Please feel free to contact us if you should have any questions or require any further information.

Sincerely,
The News Hounds

TR and WOKE: Here is the e-mail that she sent to the media asking them to "block" all my e-mails to them:

WOKE: I saw this over on the Forum. I can read the comments, but they have banned me from posting any comments on the Forum.

Thanks so much. Now we'll see how long it stays on the site. Not very long is my guess.

Ok, ellen, sorry, but thanks anyhow.

For those who DO care about what is really occurring in Iraqnam or just wish to interact with Bill, BILL's new site is:

WOKE: The next time you go to the NH FORUM you might want to ask them if they are willing to refund the $200 I gave News Hounds a month ago as long as they won't allow you to mention my blog link.

I saw this exchange between you and Ellen this morning:

Ok, ellen, sorry, but thanks anyhow.

Sorry, after all he's said about us we are not willing to promote Bill's site - unless he wants to take out an ad. ch

For the record, we are looking for someone else to take report on the under-reported or non-reported news from Iraq.

WOKE: Tell them I will be happy to take out an ad if they will send back the $200 I gave to News Hounds during their fund-raising drive a couple of months ago.

I see it now.

They are looking for someone to cover iraqnam ON THEIR TERMS. Who is not looking for this??

Bill Corcoran said...

TR and WOKE: If you come back here, we are close to solving who was using my e-mail address to post on NH. Like all culprits they messed up on one complaint to my server and right now it is being investigated and it won't be long until we know who has been doing all this to me.

Hope you find out Bill

Bill Corcoran said...

TR: I wish I could give you more details but it appears to have been an inside job if you know what I mean. As soon as I find out, I will take the necessary action through the Fraud Dept. N Chomsky posted on the Johnny Dollar site under the topic about me that he is fed up with NH because a certain monitor has been getting very testy with him. You can see what he said by going to Johnny Dollar's site and scrolling down to the bottom of this link http://homepage.mac.com/mkoldys/blog/lvu220806184.html and how I replied to him right under it. Please don't post this on NH because nothing has been resolved yet and I don't want to tip them off about how close we are getting to finding out who banned me and who was posting things using my name when it wasn't me.

Bill Corcoran said...

TR and WOKE:

To make a long story short, someone used another server other than AOL to makeup an e-mail supposedly from me claiming I was harassing NH and they reported it to AOL. I can't go into the details now, but I will say this. In their rush to make it appear as though I was harassing NH using anothe e-mail address other than my AOl e-mail address they slipped up and it has been caught. An investigation is now underway and I should know shortly who used my name and another e-mail address from another server other than AOL to allegedly harass NH. The server the person used takes very seriously identity theft and they are getting to the bottom of who sent out e-mails using their server in my name.

We will soon know who did it and it is going to be a bombshell when the person who stole my identity is revealed.

Stay tuned.
