When Scarlet Scoop started this blog two years ago today, we can safely guarantee that she had no idea we’d be going strong two years later.
In its earliest days, this blog was an in-your-face answer to “Jacqui Farmer” and her disgusting Hamster Research blog, now mercifully defunct. Scarlet, who coined the word “Hoaxtead”, led off with a jaw-dropping 1,000+ posts in our first four months—an awesome output by any standard—before handing the reins over to El Coyote in late August 2015. EC has maintained a rather more sedate pace over the past year and a half, but this blog has continued to grow and thrive, achieving a loyal readership and a stalwart group of regular commentators who really make HR the “blog of record” for those who oppose the Hampstead SRA hoax.
It turns out that those who support the hoax seem to like us too! We are frequently amused to find our carefully researched stories quoted by various Hoaxtead pushers, who just can’t seem to stay away, no matter how much they vilify us in public.
At various points over the past two years it’s seemed as though the hoax was on the verge of complete collapse, and it would soon be time for us to pack away our deerstalkers and magnifiers and go back to our normal lives. Invariably, though, the hoax has managed to pick itself up, coughing and gasping, and stagger along…and it seems there will always be someone out there willing to be duped by the Hoaxtead mobsters. And so we carry on, and will continue to do so until the last Hoaxtead mobster has given up.
Following the Hampstead hoax is a bit like being addicted to Eastenders: each time things slow down a bit, you just know there’ll be another bizarre plot twist round the next corner! In honour of some of the highlights of the past two years, our friends at “Hands Off Hampstead” have put together this video for your viewing (and singing along) pleasure:
We’ve celebrated many victories here at HR, and as we head into our third year, we won’t be slowing down. We can promise the Hampstead mobsters that we will be watching their every move, reporting on their scare tactics and harassment, and uncovering their lies, for just as long as it takes. We think it’s fair to say that we are in this for the long haul.
As we said last year in our birthday message, “Our goal remains the same: to stand up and say a resounding ‘No!’ to the liars, scam artists, and gullible dupes who’ve done their best to destroy lives by spreading this hoax. And we’ll keep on doing that for as long as need be, until Hoaxtead is nothing but a bad memory”.
Was this blog started because of actual harassment in the real world, or was it just harassment online?
LikeLike
It was both: it started online, but those who were named quickly found themselves receiving threatening phone calls, letters, and emails. The demonstrations outside Christ Church were frightening to those inside the church—some of the children believed that the protesters who were pounding on the doors were going to burn the church down with them in it, and were absolutely terrified. Other children were aware of protesters peering into the Sunday school windows at them, which distressed and confused them. Some of the children were later targetted by paedophiles online, who had read that the children had been sexually abused (they hadn’t) and believed they would be vulnerable targets. Their parents have continually had to deal with their children being named over and over online.

@Bobb: The virtual world has an impact on the real, does it not? If you were one of those named, fearing a petrol can might come through your window at any moment, due to your name being on that list, and the online hysteria whipped up by false reporting, would you say: ‘nah, nothing to worry about, it’s just online’ ?
Congratulations to the little blog that could, and all of your achievements. There have been times when I thought, ‘great, it’s died down’, but each time it appears so, the dickheads reappear, and therefore it seems necessary to have a constant presence, watching, reporting…
EC, all the others, thank you for that constant vigilance.

Best I can do, by way of a birthday present:
So…some thoughts on hoax & debunking ‘mechanics’.
The claims about genital tattoos are really claims to possessing “special knowledge”, which we’ve talked about before. This isn’t a claim to divinely inspired knowledge, of course, but you could call it “privileged” knowledge. It is a claim to possessing knowledge that only certain persons under certain conditions could possess, specifically – only someone who had seen the genitals in question.
This particular claim may have been inspired by similar claims made against Michael Jackson, since those claims enjoyed universal media saturation. The claim was, that there was something distinctive about his genitals that only someone who had seen him naked could know about.
In both cases, the provability of the claims – whether they are factually true or not – is irrelevant to the motivation for making the claim. The purpose of the claim is to plant the idea in people’s minds, that the claimant possesses privileged knowledge about the accused and therefore could believably possess other ‘secrets’ about them – in Jackson’s case that he was a child molester, in this case that the accused are satanic abuse cultists. (That’s flawed, but common, popular logic) I’m sure everyone understands this.
There are a number of options, for debunking claims to possessing “special knowledge”;
1) Direct evidence that the claim is false – (you could create a gallery of photos, of accused person standing there naked, that demonstrate there are no such tattoos. As you’ve observed several times, True Believers would simply claim that the photos are ‘doctored’, so there’s really no point to that approach in this case).
2) Evidence that the claim is impossible/ irrational/ illogical
3) Evidence which contradicts central aspects of the claim – (documentation that satanic cultists used some other symbol, in this case)
4) Evidence that the claimant has made false claims to possessing “special knowledge” in the past
5) Evidence that the claimant is otherwise an untrustworthy source of info, i.e., they are a proven liar, a criminal, a drug-addict or a loony – (this is considered a weak argument in formal logic, but it can also be the most fun)
Just some principles to keep in mind.
LikeLiked by 2 people
Interesting….. I suggest though that (looking at point 5) unless you can prove direct relevance to the actual thing you’re debunking you risk incinerating your own credibility.
For example, taking (4) and (5) together, you prove that someone has previously lied about being a spy, working for MI5 etc…. And that this gives them “insider knowledge” of all these shape shifting lizard satanists we hear so much about. – Fine, job done, case closed. Something similar would be true if you proved very serious dysfunction in their life such as drug addiction or relevant criminal convictions; i.e. they’re a serial fraudster, have firearms convictions or are on the sex offender’s register; things that are both serious and relevant. -But it really rather knocks your own credibility if you start reaching into their past and painting false pictures….. Like somebody is maybe pictured from twenty years ago on the one occasion where they got drunk and unconscious. They’ve pulled themselves up and lived an entirely sober life ever since. And understandably embarrassed deny that picture’s them. Sure, you’ve “proven them a liar”, but I think the scale and relevance of the lie is vital. One of the main tactics you see from hoaxers is that they take snippets of “information” about people and twist them into nonsense. Was it Ghandi that said “an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind”?

I do feel somewhat sorry for David, his health seems to be suffering from his delusions and I have no knowledge of what is wrong with him or experience with whatever it is he is going through. I’m not sure what sort of treatment would enable him to live a normal and happy life.
However, he is very wrong about suggesting that people here say there are no pedophile rings or trafficking, many cases have been mentioned here before such as Project Spade arrests.
The Hampstead case is undoubtably a hoax, it falls apart at every level right down to the cold facts that abused children do not act like that, in such a matter of fact manner, rushing and being prompted to reel off as much information as possible to please the abusers coaching them. Anyone who says they act like that because they have been abused for so long that it is normal, veers on repeating the type of phrases that pedophiles and abusers say in order to make excuses for their actions. There is never anything normal or acceptable when it comes to child abuse. The medical records show the accusations of long term constant abuse to be untrue, there are too many people who seem to want the children to have been abused to fit their perverse fantasies about SRA and CSA.
All most people here stand for is standing up for innocent people who’s lives have been turned upside down by false accusations, and the very real fact that every hoax undermines real cases of child abuse.
All the hoaxers have many things in common, most importantly that they have made zero effort to help real victims of child abuse since this hoax started. People like Angela Power Disney and Kristie Sue Costa have not helped a single child, all they have done is put peoples children at risk from vigilante’s and pedophiles who are attracted to their abuse stories.

However, I feel that there will ALWAYS be a place for real truth in the so called ‘truth movement’. It is all too easy to get sucked into maniacal lies, for whatever reason. I became entranced by the conspirasphere when I was at a very low ebb. I credit the work of this site with helping me to see that, if I think something sounds far fetched or downright bollocks, it probably is. Thank you, SS, EC, and whoever else creates the impeccable content on this site!
