Cyberbullying is when one person or a group of people try to threaten or embarrass someone else on the internet. Cyberbullying is just as harmful as bullying in the real world. (Brenda, 123321, Zachary S., I Like Cookies 2, NormanBates, S.O.L) Some of the comments are the same people that created a new user name. One can tell by clicking on the user name and view all the comments that user has posted. This group respond mostly to postings that involve Louis Gibson. They do not respond to the topics posted but comment insults after insults. When others try to respond to the post this group attacks them as well. This is Cyberbullying.

Those who take part in online bullying often use a group of friends to target their victims. They can ask others to add a comment to a photo on a blog, or forward something embarrassing onto another group of friends. Sometimes, these people don’t even realise they’re actually bullying someone

Sending instant messenger and chatroom messages to friends or direct to a victim. Others can be invited into the bullying conversation, who then become part of it by laughing.

Sending humiliating and abusive text or video messages, as well as photo messages and phone calls over a mobile phone. This includes anonymous text messages over short distances using Bluetooth technology and sharing videos of physical attacks on individuals (happy slapping).

Many victims of cyberbullying have complained that they have seen personal photos, emails or blog postings posted where others could see them without their permission.

Social networking sites make it a lot easier for web users to get hold of personal information and photos of people. They can also get hold of someone else’s messaging accounts and chat to people pretending to be the victim.

Bullying on social networksInternet and email bullyingBullying on mobile phonesStaying safe onlineThe effects of cyberbullying
Even though cyberbullying cannot physically hurt you, it can still leave you feeling mentally vulnerable and very upset. You can also feel scared, lonely and stressed and that there’s no way out.

Escaping cyberbullying can be very difficult. Because anyone can get access to a mobile phone or the internet almost anywhere, it can be tough for those on the receiving end to avoid it, even in the safety of their own home.

Why do cyberbullies do it?
There’s no simple answer for why some people choose to cause pain to others by bullying them. There are lots of possible reasons, but here are some common ones:

•it can be simply a case of someone being in the wrong place at the wrong time and allowing themselves to be easily intimidated
•some people who cyberbully think that they won’t get caught if they do it on a mobile phone or on the internet
•the people who cyberbully are jealous, angry or want to have revenge on someone, often for no reason at all
•cyberbullies often think that getting their group of friends to laugh at someone makes them look cool or more popular
•some people also bully others as a form of entertainment or because they are bored and have too much time on their hands
•many do it for laughs or just to get a reaction

Sending emails that can be threatening or upsetting. Emails can be sent directly to a single target, or to a group of people to encourage them to become part of the bullying. These messages or ‘hate mails’ can include examples of racism, sexism and other types of prejudice.

If someone sends you a message and you forward or laugh at it, you’re actually adding to the problem.

Mike W Johe, Zachary S. and RedlineM203 are some of the names these internet attackers are using on this site and many others. Internet attack is one of the most severe problems that computer users may come across nowadays. I am not an attorney and nothing in this report should be construed as legal advice. I can sure quote the heck out of people who are attorneys and legal experts, though. Nolo Press, the US's oldest and most respected provider of legal information for consumers and small businesses, defines libel as, “An untruthful statement about a person, published in writing or through broadcast media, that injures the person's reputation or standing in the community.”

For those of you living across the pond, Website-Law.co.uk has this to say about defamation and libel:

Defamation is all about reputation, and in particular about statements which damage others' reputations. The English courts have not settled upon a single test for determining whether a statement is defamatory. Examples of the formulations used to define a "defamatory imputation" include:

•an imputation which is likely to lower a person in the estimation of right-thinking people;

•an imputation which injures a person's reputation by exposing him to hatred, contempt or ridicule;

•an imputation which tends to make a person be shunned or avoided.

The law of libel is concerned with defamatory writings; whereas the law of slander is concerned with defamatory speech. There are some differences in the laws relating to slander and libel…defamatory statements on a website will be libelous rather than slanderous...

So any online statements you make, or which are made about you, fitting the above criteria are in violation of U.S. and U.K. law and subject to prosecution. Most Western countries have defamation and libel laws that read similarly, but as you’ll see later in this article, the defamer’s country of residence need not be a barrier to the victim in pursuing a charge of libel.

What Doesn’t Constitute Libel?
Bear in mind, not every negative or potentially damaging statement made online or in print constitutes defamation in the legal sense. The first and best defense against a claim of defamation is simply that the statement in question is true. The next go-to defense is often that the statement in question is a statement of opinion, because in most cases such statements are generally protected free speech (see next section for information on the exceptions). For example, imagine Johnny Author, the author of a book about business ethics, has a criminal record for fraud and someone shares this information online or in print. It’ll certainly injure his reputation and standing in the community, but it’s not defamation because it’s true. Now, suppose he was tried for fraud but found innocent of all charges.

Web Troll A blogs, “Anyone who trusts anything Johnny Author says is a fool; everyone knows he was arrested for fraud last year.”

Web Troll B blogs, “Johnny Author is a liar and a fraud.”

Web Troll A’s statement probably has the most potential to do damage, but surprisingly, Web Troll B’s statement is the one of these two that more clearly qualifies as libel because it’s the only one making “an untruthful statement” about Johnny Author. Web Troll A’s remarks are a mixture of opinion and fact.

To NormanBates,
One of these internet attackers are emailing individuals insults and placing your name as the person sending the emails. It is hard to tell if it is you or not. Only by responding can we tell if it is you. We have hired legal help in getting those responsible brought to justice. I am sure you have read the comments that have been places on this site. They are not using real names as you have stated in your comments. We identify ourselves when posting comments or responding.

We are working with multiple organizations that were impacted by this attack as well as the government and law enforcement. As part of our investigation, we analyzed several pieces of malicious code that we have confirmed were used in attempts to penetrate several of the targeted organizations and individuals.

As with most targeted attacks, the intruders gained access to an organization by sending a tailored attack to one or a few targeted individuals. We suspect these individuals were targeted because they likely had access to valuable intellectual property.

All I can say is wow. The world has changed. Everyone’s threat model now needs to be adapted to the new reality of these advanced persistent threats. In addition to worrying about Eastern European cybercriminals trying to siphon off credit card databases, you have to focus on Cyberbullies attacking the characters of veterans and Americans in general.We will continue to provide updates on this event as it continues to unfold. As I said in my last post, this is only the tip of the iceberg.

Dear English Ian and ComplaintsBoard.com members,

WE THE PEOPLE started to ignore your question when you first asked it because of your disrespectful remarks over the past few weeks. You and our staff have been involved in a battle of insults that seem to have gone away from any topic or debate that has any substance in civilized society. With the many fake names made up on this site it all started to look like one big mess. Then you did the unexpected by asking a question worth answering regardless of the past behavior on both sides. We are not sure if you truly want to hear the answer but WE THE PEOPLE directed your question to our Boss. With all honesty Louis Gibson has not participated in responding to one person/group on this site directly since January 2011. WE THE PEOPLE and (RANN) Staff have responded and posted views and topics.

Thank You,

WE THE PEOPLE and (RANN) STAFF

English Ian asked:
So many unanswered questions on your post WTPDJ... Go on; answer them for us and keep us in suspense no longer. Fascinate us with your marvelous philosophy with which you intend to make the world a better place for these vets.

To whom it may concern:

We come across people/enemies who political views differ from your everyday but you must "know the people or your enemy". My USMC Drill Instructor to me this during boot camp, I was wondering what that meant back then as I was in a pool of sweat in the sand pit.

It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle. -Sun Tzu
“The Art of War”

For year I thought my Drill Instructor made it up until I read it in a book! However I got the point and it has stuck with me since I heard it. It means after experiencing insults on this site with those opposing my methods and witnessing the consequences of ignoring corruption spread in America and many Americans lack of information on so many issues that seem confusing and divides Americans but if not addressed will continue to destroy this country, you should remember them as the enemy, and thus, "know your enemy" so you will not repeat future mistakes.

I got upset and wanted to do more than restate the issues but help resolve them. So I created Redshield American News Network Inc., an independent news network that reports the facts to America. To educate them on what is going on in our government and society, to inform the uninformed and arm them with vital information that effect the day, tomorrow and future. Nothing but the facts from those on capital hill to those being effected by capital hill!

Reporters have the power to kill or slant stories, depending on their own interests or those of their advertisers.

There is no denying that news media is big business. The complete coverage of stories and investigative reports are certainly at risk with the rise of media as a business, rather than strictly a service to the public. Linda Stouffer, a reporter for wsbtv Atlanta News, is an example of what happens when one reporter fails to report all the facts. For example: In one report wsbtv Atlanta showed the lack of social responsibility and ethical theories. Reporters have the power to kill or slant stories, depending on their own interests or those of their advertisers? We will only report the facts!

When making the world a better place for our "vets” we publish articles on Veterans and their dependents in a bi-monthly internet news report called LIVEHERO (www.livehero.us). In so doing we perform a valuable and patriotic service by supporting our Veterans and educating Americans how they can help men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces honorably discharged transition back into civilian communities. All of this is accomplished without any cost to the government.

Many of our members are current or former members of the Armed Services and fully understand our communities are affected when they are not educated how to help Veterans returning from service. It is in this connection that my "philosophy" shows. To express our concerns regarding our purpose, while we wholeheartedly support Congressional representatives that shares our organizations dedication to veteran rights.

Our Veterans are the back bones of America and they are kin to me. If our country can not take care of our veterans first then all else is in vain or a waste of time, money and lives that are sacrificed for FREEDOM. WE as a nation must understand to wage war is costly and a debt that must be paid by WE THE PEOPLE who benefit from that FREEDOM in AMERICA. Veterans in Georgia and across the nation have put themselves in harm's way to defend our freedom so that we can live in the greatest nation in the world. Their courage, commitment and selfless sacrifice have made possible the prosperity and political freedom we enjoy today.

Our first LIVEHERO topic is:
Even though the VA has its’ own faults, you have to wonder what else could be contributing to the 1.1+ million claims backlog, that is crippling the system.
A LARGE part of this is the VA doctors who conduct the exams.
I believe that a large part of the backlog stems from doctors who are on a vendetta to disallow the Veteran a rating, albeit original or increase. WHY they do this is BAFFLING to me and many veterans.

In closing: "There is more in a human life than our theories of it allow. Sooner or later something seems to call us onto a particular path. You may remember this "something" as a signal moment in childhood when an urge out of nowhere, a fascination, a peculiar turn of events struck like an annunciation: This is what I must do; this is what I've got to have. This is who I am." – Louis Gibson

Thank you for your consideration and support of our organization. We would welcome the opportunity to post your views on Veteran Rights in our first LIVEHERO bi-monthly internet news report. If we can provide any assistance whatsoever, please contact us at [protected].

Sincerely,

Louis Gibson
President
REDSHIELD AMERICA NEWS NETWORK INC.

All those that have been attacked by them are going to expose them in court. Louis Gibson has hired an investigator and a lawyer to track them by the ip adresses. The individuals will be brought to justice and they had no clue who they messed with when they posted false comments on a congressman sons board. So just sit back and relax. Justice will be served real soon!
