From my end, this is the place that did the hijacking...    http://www.stategeeks.com/

I wonder how many from the hill walk through there and with idle conversation the OK's come up.

Is that a serious accusation?  All I can tell is that they're a computer repair service in Maryland with a very unprofessional webpage.

It is an unsupportable allegation from someone who doesn't know what the hell they are talking about.
Remember, never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.
There are many who wait for the opportunity to snatch a domain when it expires, betting they can make a buck on it.  It's called speculating.  An ancient, time-honored if not always honorable pursuit.
Just as Rhodes abandoned a client and hence was disbarred from practicing law, he screwed up here also.
It is the screw-ups who bring you down.

And then there are others who look for security holes in other people's systems, and exploit them, for yucks, for malice, or just because they are poor, broken human beings.

Of course.  That is always a possibility.  But we have not seen evidence of that.  If you have, please share.

Thanks for your insightful, well-reasoned response.
If anything I posted is incorrect, please, enlighten us.

Hi Been There, and welcome to TMM's forums. I see that you are new here, and I hope you will enjoy your experience here. However, I would like to ask you for proof of your suggestion that Stewart Rhodes has been "disbarred from practicing law". Is that just something you were told, or do you have tangible evidence to support the claim that he was disbarred? Thanks for clarification on that.

Additionally, I would interject the highly probable scenario, that Stewart did not "screw-up". To the best of my knowledge, Oath Keepers retains full ownership of both domains in question, and our domain registrations were paid on schedule. I do not have tangible evidence to support my claim about that, but am going by what I was told almost three days ago by someone in a position to know in Oath Keepers' leadership staff.

Thanks,
Salute!

Thank you for the welcome.

Concerning proof of Rhodes' disbarment, there is this filing, "IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF MONTANA, PR 14-0698" dated December 8, 2015, which can be found at:

https://www.scribd.com/fullscreen/294380213?access_key=key-p3YkSJOqWCiyQwkQ3BYX&allow_share=true&escape=false&view_mode=scroll

Note page 2, where it states: "IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:
1. Respondent Elmer S. Rhodes is disbarred from the practice of law in the State of Montana effective immediately."

I am surprised that this is not common knowledge here.

As for the domain screw-up, it is possible that Rhodes is not responsible for that.  However, after having seen the wreckage of his other screw-ups, such as the way he neglected and abandoned clients (Michael Roth, then Jennifer Jones) in federal court cases, it seems likely he failed to renew the domain registration.  Given his history of screwing over people who depended on him, it would fit the pattern of neglectful behavior.

someone forgot to pay their internet, maybe?

[Elias Alias]

Heh!
Looks like the long arm of the British Accredited Registry reached through the etheric Internet and zapped him before he could paste in his filing, eh?
Maybe he'll recover and return with the "rest of the story".

I'm glad to see you did not get zapped, lol!
I must congratulate you for backing up your claim fully and promptly. It appears to be official. Oddly enough, I had not seen that, and Stewart has not said anything to me about it. Wow. That is surprising news.

Regarding the website being down, well, I have not heard anything since Thursday afternoon, more than two days ago. What I had been told was that someone had fraudulently claimed to be the owner of the domains and apparently used the registry to do the deed. I figured the site would have been up by yesterday. Like you and everyone else, I'd sure like to know where things stand at present.

But again -- though this is horrible news, I must congratulate you for a strong performance in substantiating your claim about the disbarment. Wow.

Salute!
