In a follow up to a great
post by Internet Sleuth Ron Brynaert, I wanted to dig a bit deeper into the character that represents one of the most foul smelling snakes that has existed on the intertubes. That person is Socrates or Seth L. Allen as he is now known by. I won't go into details here about the who what where when or why, because that has already been done to death. And the post by Ron Brynaert pretty much closes the chapter on all of those questions anyway. This post is really about highlighting a court case that was brought by Brett Kimberlin against Seth Allen for defamation, cyber-stalking, criminal harassment and a host of other charges.
Seth Allen has spent the last 10 years of his life online in darkened rooms in ghetto locations typing away his thoughts for all to see on the internet. He has for all intents and purposes
destroyed many blogs, forums and other online communities. So many in fact that it boggles the mind on how he was able to go on for so long without anyone knowing the man behind his internet shtick/nick Socrates. Suffice it to say he was sued by someone he spent the better part of two years or more stalking. That case finally concluded. But not without much fanfare either. It has after all been the subject of intense debate on various
forums and
blogs on the internet.
Socrates/Seth Allen has spent these long years online pretending to be a left wing pundit calling out so called fake left wingers and highlighting their so called buffoonery. He has claimed he is the only true lefty out in the world, while the rest of those he attacks or targets are in fact fakes or hoaxes, or people who are sent by unseen powers to troll the internet spewing left wing platitudes while raking in followers and money to boot.
For years this unseen force has taken down
chem-trail communities, debunked or attempted to debunk left wing blogs such as
Daily Kos,
Democratic Underground and a variety of other lesser known communities on the net. He uses a variety of tools at his disposal such as divide and conquer, multiple nicknames to foment dissension between parties involved in a discussion, and other like minded operations to destroy people or their communities. He has for all intents and purposes been an internet tough guy. A guy so tough that many have run for the hills when approached or targeted by him.
Recently he moved to the right wing extremist blog of
Patterico.com and the staff at Andrew Breitbart's
Bigjournalism.com website. There he finally found a home among the other internet tough guys who spend every hour available spewing hate and invective throughout the internet. A more fitting place for a so called lefty I cannot imagine. But on to why we are here.
He just finished his court case in Judge Jordan's court in Maryland District Court a few days ago and lost big time. However his spin is that he won big time. And won because the verdict was 100.00 dollars plus court costs and a permanent injunction barring him from talking about the plaintiff forever and a day. But that didn't stop him from running home and opening up his dark room and
spewing forth to his right wing extremist buddies how he won the day in court and how he made the Plaintiff pay. Not only that, he claims he was almost like Perry Mason in his legal moves in court against the plaintiff.
So, it took a bit of doing, but the courtroom audio has finally arrived, and I have now set about trying to determine who the real Seth Allen was. And did he in fact come off like Perry Mason, or was he like most liars, just blustering? Well, here are some of the excerpts from that courtroom drama. Of course its long and tedious, but if you are truly interested in the long versions, just drop us a comment here at this blog and we will see about sending you the full audio. For now we have excerpts of his Perry Mason skills in court.
Someone Get Me The Washington Post!!!!
That is how his first hearing started. Here was Socrates in all his glory whining like a small child for someone to get the Washington Post to help him after being arrested in court for an outstanding criminal harassment charge that was later dismissed. The case of course hinged on his murder threat to the plaintiff. And since in Maryland one must have sent a death threat to the actual person, Seth Allen skated on this by sending the death threat to a third party, one
Mandy Nagy, who has been using Seth Allen as a source for news articles she has written on the plaintiff. So the case was dismissed the next day because of that one small detail. But Seth Allen claimed to everyone that it was in fact a bogus case. Below is the email sent to Mandy Nagy, you be the judge of how threatening it actually is.

Hi Aaron, thanks for the response. I think the default judgement is just for the preliminary injunction of deleting my blog. I am going to file motions myself. I will try to make it down to the next court session. But this is bogus. I need to know who this sherriff is. The record is in that courthouse, not at the website you mention. Brett Kimberlin is lying. That sounds like perjury and I want his parole officers to find out if he has yet again perjured himself. And all this time Breitbart just stands on the sidelines as if I don't even exist. I'll get this done myself if possible. I need to know that sherriff's name. I'm no lawyer, but you can't make claims in court that are lies. That means Kimberlin should go back to jail if that's true. Whatever, maybe I should murder him. Maybe that will finally get me some justice. This life sucks anyway. All anyone cares about is themselves and their own money. Freedom of speech is dead in America. Thanks for nothing Breitbart.
Of course Mandy Nagy then ratted Seth Allen out to the Police (these right wingers always eat their own) and after this event the plaintiff filed criminal harassment charges against Seth Allen which resulted in a quick criminal charge against him until a prosecutor could look it over. In the end they had to dismiss it because Maryland law states that a threat must be communicated to the individual and not to a third party. Score +1 for Seth Allen getting out of that case. But according to him and his buddies in the right wing it was all bullshit and not worth anyone's time.
So as we see in the above audio, Seth Allen, Internet Tough Guy, screams like a whiny bitch when he is finally confronted with the facts that stalking people on the internet does in fact have consequences. And some of them can be pretty severe if taken too far.
Seth Allen has recently written on his
blog that he is waiting for courtroom audio so he can pull an
Andrew Breitbart cut and paste job on the audio showing him winning the case against the plaintiff. In fact I have listened to every portion of this audio (I have to upload it ya know lol) and all I can say is this: its a slog to get through it all. And mainly because Seth Allen is grating to listen to. Matter of fact after hours of listening to him ramble on in incoherent sentences acting as if he is insane in court, it gets very grating to continue it. So what I have had to do is just pick out highlights of the audio to post here. Then I have to make a video of it just so I can upload it to YouTube. Not fun at all.
Some highlights. Seth Allen offers to go to work for the police constable that served him. He constantly interrupts the judge with rambling discussions about him being some sort of teacher with a degree mind you. It's just amazing blabbering and blubbering and incoherent speech that goes on and on until you want to take an ice pick and jab it through your brain to save you from the pain and suffering of listening to it all.
"I'm the true Lefty" Seth says. Here is a compilation of the great Seth Allen, now aka Perry Mason and his legal skills in Judge Jordan's courtroom. A few quotes, "I don't have a clue." "Do I need to wait to get a chance to speak?" "I'm just intimidated by you." "Yell at me I'll take it." "I don't need any trouble here, I'm the free speech dude." "I'm the true lefty." "I don't mind losing by default, those things don't mean nothing." "I'm sorry, I'll shut up."
Yes, a true Perry Mason indeed.
What a loon. And this is just the first court hearing. There is more I tell you, much more. And I hate to even listen to it again or even upload it. But in the interest of justice I will have to upload it all. That way you can see through the lies and bullshit that Seth Allen is spewing. So next post will detail the history of Seth Allen and I will post the final court hearing where you can hear more of the same above. And the hope is that those who are interested in this lunatic can finally see just what an idiot this guy is. Not to mention being able to once and for all see what kind of person has stalked them to the ends of the earth for the last 10 years.
Hat tip goes to Brett Kimberlin for slogging through the jungles to find out who this anonymous poser was, and for finally ridding the intertubes of this idiot and exposing him for all to see.
Lefty
