Author Topic: Truckers being followed & having their lives threatened Matthew Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 461 From: Port Arthur,TX Registered: Sep 2000 posted 11-22-2002 05:45 PM                     I just heard last night on Art Bell's show that truckers throughout the states & Canada are being followed & having their lives threatened. Art mentioned that truckers in 18 wheelers are being harassed,followed & receiving death threats over the CB even though they have not done anything wrong at all to deserve this. Why this is happening,I don't know but someone on this site should notify the FBI & other authorities about this.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 11-22-2002 06:25 PM                     Yes, this is definitely our responsibility to notify the federal government on this issue. Theater exhibitionists are ALWAYS responsible for things like this because we are the ONLY people who ever watch the news and the FBI and the police have no idea whatsoever that this is happening. I think I can say without even bringing it to a vote that the members of the Film-Tech community unanimously vote YOU Matthew to call up the FBI and alert them to what is happening. Please be sure to report back to us after you have done so.  |  IP: Logged Matthew Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 461 From: Port Arthur,TX Registered: Sep 2000 posted 11-22-2002 08:41 PM                     I have notified the FBI via their official website. I did not give out my e mail or any futher personal information due to the fact that I would risk being threatened with harm or harmed as a result.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Because if you did it from home you know they've got you... it wouldn't be too hard to match your IP to your ISP's records and then verify you with all that handy info sent in the HTTP header and readily available via the %ENV variables. I personally nominate YOU, Matthew Bailey, to start a lobby group to bring the due attention to this matter.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 11-22-2002 11:31 PM                       Art Bell is hilarious! He takes anything that anyone calls in with so deadly serious, no matter how far-fetched. I don't see how he does some of that stuff without cracking up. I think Phil Hendrie stole his act -- only Phil is forthcoming about it.  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-22-2002 11:48 PM                        Matthew: Quick... if you're reading this it means they know where you are. Turn your computer off and hide. THey're after you.. it's a film-tech conspiracy... It's happening becuase they think that we, as exhibitors, have some sort of "mind-control" over the rest of the mindless minions in society... that's it.. it's got to be....I think I hear someone watching me.. are they watching you as well Matthew?  |  IP: Logged Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 11-22-2002 11:57 PM                     Mathew, Dont let these guys mess with you. But first let me say that you need to take a break, get laid, have some fun and then report it. By the way, who the hell is Art Bell?  |  IP: Logged Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-23-2002 01:07 AM                     Sam, Art Bell is one of those syndicated talk shows. Radio talk shows really helps the ratings.... The more talk shows the broadcasting industry puts on the air, the more money the radio stations make. Talk formats are getting very popular, and have been for quite some time. We would like to run talk format, but the big stations south of us won't let us.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-23-2002 06:31 AM                     Lordy, Lordy, who the heck on this forum listens to Chuck Bell? He's more like Dumb Bell! I drive on the average anyplace from 20,000 to 40,000 miles a year and I can honestly say that MANY truck drivers do not belong behind the wheel. They should all have to go through the same psyco testing that Airline pilots receive before they can fly, if they did, none of them would pass! There are courteous truckers out there too but for every courteous one there are at least ten reckless ones. Perhaps these threats are due to these reckless truckers.....In that case, the FBI should also be making threats to these truckers as well !

Is it just that all the good syndicated shows have been bought for your market, or is there some other kind of (political?) issue with them?  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-23-2002 11:34 AM                     I remember the first time I listened to Phil Hendrie. He had a "guest" on there who kept indicating that he is a Gay man and a Gay journalist and has a Gay Seventh Sense and through this Gay sense, he knows that "Tina will win Survivor" (whichever season that was) People, naturally, took it seriously, called in and were APPALED that he would even SUGGEST that Tina will win Survivor. He assured them that it was because he was Gay and had this Gay Seventh Sense. It was hillarious. To top it all off, that night, Tina indeed won Survivor. =TMP= At least, I THINK her name was Tina. It's the first time I ever watched Survivor, too.  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 11-23-2002 12:08 PM                        Matthew: Why are you so paranoid? Like having your email address will allow anyone to track you. Most email addresses may as well be anonymous nowadays anyways (hotmail, yahoo, etc.). Why would the FBI come after you? By making that statement, you are inferring that the FBI is the one making these threats, if notifying them that you know about it would cause you personal harm.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 11-23-2002 12:14 PM                     It doesn't matter at this point anyway. I'm sure the FBI has seen this thread by now and knows how to track Matthew down. Matthew, trust nobody! Run and hide while you still can. The FEDS are looking for you.  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

It can be a very delicate balance to satisfy the listener's needs.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-23-2002 12:36 PM                        Brad, didn't you register a whole bunch of FBI agents to use the forums just last night? Hmmm... things are starting to make a bit more sense now...  |  IP: Logged
