Given that the email address is attached, if you know Stacy, then there's a simple way to resolve the 'real'/'not real' issue.
You see, I don't really care whether Stacy wrote it or not, although, if it turned out to be a fake, that might be interesting. But, real? Not too important. All it is is 100% compliance with Marty and a bunch of butt kissing. And, since Stacy isn't really a 'public' person now, the only person who would be interested in her 'support' for and 'friendship' with Marty Rathbun and Mike Rinder would apparently be Marty, who has this thing about namedropping.
Oh, and of course, the small cadre of 'Bad Bobists' who are still trying to get juice out of 'See! We TOLD YOU SO! You should respect us! Because We Told You Bob Is Bad!' Mostly, they're not around all that much either, nowdays, for which I'm grateful. And, the 'Bob is Badists are Bad-ists' and 'Bob is Goodists' aren't that vocal now either, at least on that subject, and, the same gratefulness goes for that. Because, thank God, the Minton Wars are over. Aren't they? They sure were a waste of time back in the day.
Anyway, the only question for me is, why would somebody who 'hacked' Marty's blog/facebook/email publish just *this one* letter? And, in such an out of the way spot?
I mean, it's not particularly shocking. It's got nothing juicy to it. Embarrassing? Possibly it should be, but, for someone who actually feels the emotions and holds the opinions stated in the letter, it shouldn't be embarrassing at all.
So, why this one? The 'Church'? Can't see it. Even assuming that Marty and The 'Church' are on opposing sides (I don't) what would be gained by hacking his email and then posting *this* email, of all possible emails?
It just makes no sense. Anon? Why would they do that? Most of them don't even know who Stacy Brooks is, and, if they do, they don't care, or, at the very least, they're ignorant of the (un)importance of the Minton Wars of the early naughts.
So, if you're going to publish private emails to the former Scientology Top Thug from one of his former victims, smooching up to his butt and telling him how cool he is for not wanting to try to get David Miscavige arrested or the 'Church' prosecuted, well, why would you?
Is that *really* the juiciest tidbit Marty got sent to him? What? No death threats? No calls to commit crimes? No admissions of crimes, no confessions? No, well, *anything*?
No, just one ass kissing email from one also-fucked in the Scientology Fuck-A-Thon.
Anyway, why publish this nothing email at this nothing site? Who was expected to find it? What was the purpose? And, amazingly, it's never mentioned until after it's *expired* from the site, which expires all such things after 30 days.
At which point Marty, in announcing that his email was not only hacked but that *an* email was published, happens to mention it. (without saying where...)
So, this is odd. His email is 'hacked' (supposedly) and *one* email is 'published', but, not where anyone will find it usually, and, nobody seems to notice it until Marty mentions it. I mean, if you're going to 'hack' someone's email and actually go to the trouble to publish your gleanings, wouldn't you announce it? If you were the 'Church' you would. That's what they do. They would have sent some anonymous clam into ARS to say 'Oh! Look! Stacy Brooks Letter to Marty! Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!'
But, they didn't. And, if it was 'Anon' who 'hacked' Marty the Wrathbunz' site/facebook/email, it would have been announced on WWP or some such, although, for the life of me, I can't see why they'd bother publishing it at *all*.
So, back to the orgiinal question. Who 'benefits' from this? Any takers?
Oh, come to think of it, there *is* somebody who benefits! Why, it's Marty Rathbun *himself*, who got to show how persecuted he is; who got to remove embarrassing or even dangerous statements from his own blog, without just simply 'deleting' them. And who gets to show the world what a good friend his old victim Stacy Brooks now is and how she *agrees* with his calls for not trying to get Davey or the 'Church' prosecuted and, gee, if Stacy can love Marty and Mike, why can't you?
And, even better, Marty isn't *stoopid*, and he knows damn well that once he's mentioned the publishing of a 'stolen' email on the web, somebody will look for it, and, even if it's already expired at the out-of-the-way site which is apparently the only place it was published; why, it'll still be in Google *cache*!!!
Ooooh... How *clever*. And, best of all, it may even get the good Ole Minton Wars cranked up again; one of Marty's most successful actions of this decade.
Now, is somebody else has a suggestion for whom this whole charade has benefited *except* Marty Rathbun, please feel free to correct me.
