CONTENT WARNING: Listener discretion is advised. The following video (audio) contains explicit language, hate speech, racial slurs, and violent rhetoric including descriptions of past incidents of violent crimes as described by the subject.

ADDITIONAL WARNING: Rodan also drops the N-Word towards the end of the audio.

The following is an audio recording of Rodan (real name: Rick Martinez) as described in the captioned text below the audio.

YouTube

Rick Martinez (aka “Rodan”)

The subject is Rodan (aka Trajan 75, Emporer Palpatine, et al). Rodan began as webmaster for Think Progress Watch and is currently the webmaster and primary functionary at The Blogmocracy and The Diary of Daedalus.

The Diary of Daedalus is a site dedicated to the tracking and harassment of Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs and members of Little Green Footballs. It has been previously cited in blogs or on Twitter by Andrew Breitbart; Dan Riehl of Riehlworldview; Donald Douglas of American Power; R.S. McCain of The Other McCain; Robert Spencer of Jihadwatch; and others.

Please note that I am not the creator of said video nor am I affiliated with the uploader of said video on Youtube. This is not an endorsement of his or her beliefs whatever they may be. Also note that this is all public information and this video/audio has been present on Youtube since 2009. The purpose of this information herein is to reveal the true nature and background of the creator and webmaster for The Blogmocracy and The Diary of Daedalus most commonly known as Rodan.

This description is from the original post at YouTube; Rodan and his followers reported the video for “hate speech” and got it pulled from YouTube. (Yes, they reported their own founder for hate speech.) It’s now hosted at LGF so they can’t make it disappear.

Rodan a.k.a. Emporer Palpatine shares his thoughts on Muslims, and gives anecdotes in regards to the Muslims he “sliced and diced” in the early 90’s.

The recording you are about to hear was recorded on the morning of June 6th, 2009 at approximately 3:40 AM.

It was recorded in “Wine Drinkers kick ass”; the room of Emporer Palpatine a.k.a. Rodan.

The following rant given by Rodan is recorded as it was, with the exception of a pause to insert Marlen2008’s text.

This, although heard by a select few, is being released after 6 months. We feel that it is time for this recording to be made public.

The subject matter may be shocking. Listener discretion is advised.

RS McCain, who cites a moronic fascist gang-banger to bolster his credibility:

"[T]he media now force interracial images into the public mind and a number of perfectly rational people react to these images with an altogether natural revulsion. The white person who does not mind transacting business with a black bank clerk may yet be averse to accepting the clerk as his sister-in-law, and THIS IS NOT RACISM, no matter what Madison Avenue, Hollywood and Washington tell us."

HOW TO: Prevent and Report Online Stalking

David Perry is Global Director of Education for Trend Micro, where he represents the company’s Internet security awareness endeavors as a leading authority on computer virus prevention. For ongoing updates on the latest threats, check out the Trend Micro microsite.

The social web is not just a model of our world, but an indelible and growing part of it. People correspond, they do business, and just like in the real world, they have addresses, and mailboxes. And in today’s pervasive and immersive online environment, it’s almost impossible to be completely anonymous.

The web gathers vast amounts of personal information that we willfully share online — our location, interests, purchases, friends, current activities, etc. Anyone tracking this information not only knows what we say, but in what location we say it, and to whom. This adds up to a large dossier of information on nearly every Internet user.

One issue that persists in a web-based world is online stalking (also referred to by some organizations as “cyber stalking”). An online stalker can easily hide behind Internet anonymity, or worse, behind someone else’s identity. Below is a quick guide to understanding online stalking and how to best prevent it from happening to you.

1. Get the Facts

The real key to the prevention of online stalking is remembering that every post you put on a social network could potentially be public. Sophisticated search engines and malicious data-stealing Trojans can find and share any information about you, even on the most trusted and secure social networks. Compromised data could potentially be used by criminals to harass you, harm you personally, or steal your identity.

The best thing to do is to stay informed about the latest threats and which popular sites may have been recently hacked. Some important resources with quality information include:

The National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA)
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC): Computers and Internet Privacy

2. Be Cautious

[...]

Because so much of our day-to-day communication is done on social networks (sharing on Facebook, job hunting on Craigslist), it may not always be clear when we encounter the issue of online stalking. You may think you’re overreacting, but if you’re feeling intimidated or insecure about a situation and you’re not sure what to do, here are some sources that may help you determine if you’re being stalked.

QuitStalkingMe.com
WiredSafety.org
State Cyberstalking Laws
ConnectSafely.org

3. Don’t Respond, Just Report

Anyone who is being stalked or harassed online should not respond to the instigator. They should instead either report it to the online community where it’s happening (by flagging on social networks, reporting abusive links, etc.), or to other sites such as Cyber911 Emergency from Wired Safety, and Cyberstalking from The National Center for Victims of Crime.

Keep a record of the communications, and contact authorities if it becomes threatening in any way. People who are under the age of 18 should also alert their parents or an adult they trust to help them properly track the communications and contact authorities as appropriate.

Like bullying and harassment, stalking cannot be stopped by any technology. However, there are several ways to keep track of communications through IM, Twitter, Facebook, etc. The silver lining is that online stalking is probably easier to prosecute than physical stalking because the communications are usually traceable in some way.

I knew that a lot of racism went underground after the '60s making it look like we were entering a post-racism era, but I had assumed the amount of racism was actually decreasing. It looks like racism may indeed dominate fewer people, but those who remain convinced of a racial hierarchy are becoming more vocal and seemingly starting to adopt PR tactics from anti-evolution, pro-smoking and anti-AGW. It may not be long before more become convinced of validity of the racist mantra.

Now they can get millions of viewers/readers/listeners,spread their hate far more widely and make a bit of money in the process.

Seriously. In 2003 he admitted that he was both a homophobe and a racist. In 2009 he was arguing that women should not have the right to vote because it's bad for conservatism.

It's amazing that it took an outright blatant piece of obvious racism that even NRO couldn't avoid or spin for them to finally fire him, but if you read what Lowry says, it's more because Derbyshire is identified as a National Review writer and is generating bad press for them than anything else.

A friend's son went through a phase where he tried to convince his friends (at the School of the Madeleine, in Berkeley) that he was a badass gangsta thug, because he was black. They believed him, because, well, they also went to the School of the Madeleine, and they didn't know from gangsta thugs.

But he was in the fourth grade, and he cut it out after a while because it was stupid, and he was too mature for that stuff.

Exactly the vibe I got from the very first paragraph, though Lowry did throw in a denunciation of sorts. Lowry may not have like what Derb wrote at TakiMag, but he's more pissed that Derb used NRO's name to give himself some bonafides for this "article".

This comment is actually about "Derb's Screed" by Rich Lowry. External Link All I'll say is that yes, in 1968 or 1992 we had the demographic and economic cushion to indulge in some idealistic sanctimony about this issue. That time has passed.
More and more middle- and working-class Americans will come in contact with Derb's truths on a daily basis, and they are going to speak out about it and not feel guilty or morally inferior for doing so...as the years pass it's going to be pretty futile to shame them into shooshing up.
---

Derb's Screed/Lowry's Insult (to the readers) - I've never been much of a fan of Derbyshire and wondered why NRO retains him. Now I've become one. Lowry's link meant I read the Screed at takimag.com that I otherwise would not have. Brilliant Mr Lowry. Offensive yes - but also a long overdue over-the-top rejoinder to the poisonous racial politics that Barack Obama has INFLAMED.
You Lowry have now associated the Derbyshire Screed with NRO by vociferously disassociating late on a Fri evening in the finest Watergate - strike that - Obamagate style. Not the other way around as far as I can tell. Can't walk away from it now. I suppose you'll fire him. Will the NYT, NYPost, & Orlando Sentinel ever disavow their recent articles? Right.
You turned off comments to your imprudent post disclaiming any linkage between the Screed and NRO. What were you thinking?!? That you were gonna keep the readers from embarassing NRO further? The readers will comment on this now on every post about Romney, the Middle East etc for the next week - or longer - because of your silly attempt to dis-establish the linkage you've rushed to confirm.

[snip]

Derb could be 100% wrong about his talk with his kids and the necessity of giving it to them, but you'd still be wrong to disavow him on the grounds of cowardly political correctness. People used to be allowed to be wrong, and opposing opinions, even ones we disagreed with, used to be tolerated, even protected. What happened?
Of course after the way you treated Ann Coulter, and the eagerness you and your ilk have shown for disassociating yourselves from Pat Buchanan, this comes as no surprise. But it's no less cowardly, and depressing, for all its predictability.
And before you judge Derb too sanctimoniously, maybe you should wait till you're the parent of two mixed race Eurasian teens who may well face challenges that you can't even imagine. Derb's responsibilities are to his family, not to catering to your maidenly sensibilities.
If your goal is to protect yourself from liberal opprobrium, mission failed. They like to pretend all conservatives are all racists all the time, though when you look at their actual record vs ours... Anyway, this doesn't disarm that attack, it simply presents them with ammo you have acknowledged to be live, just as when you falsely smear people like Buchanan and Ron Paul with tags they don't deserve, you don't make yourself look enlightened, you just make all conservatives look bad, and yourselves craven to boot.
This is thousand points of light, compassionate weenie Bush-Romney neoconservatism to a T. This is why you people are a laughingstock to real conservatives, and for that matter, to real classical liberals with a respect for free speech as famously described by Voltaire.

Again, Reagan helped to unleash so much of this. Don't forget his speech in Philadelphia, MS.

Beneath the grandfatherly image was a vicious person and flamboyant racist.

I disagree with your assessment of Reagan; I truly believe he was much more tolerant in practice than you give him credit for, but he also knew who was buttering his political bread (the RR and RWNJs).

It doesn't make that sort of pandering and cold political calculus right by any stretch of the imagination, but I don't think Reagan was the Anti-Christ either.

Yet the belief humans are contributing to AGW that not too long ago was held by the majority of North Americans is now held by fewer than 50%.

It's not going to be a triumphal march on all fronts, but humans are sort of smart and eventually know the right path when they blunder on to it. (Though with AGW it might be too late to avoid the penalty for 'smart-too-late'.)

Does it matter really? National Review still has a legacy of racism from 1957 by way of William F. Buckley in his editorial "Why the South Must Prevail":

...“The central question that emerges ... is whether the White community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are necessary to prevail, politically and culturally, in areas in which it does not prevail numerically? The sobering answer is Yes — the White community is so entitled because, for the time being, it is the advanced race. It is not easy, and it is unpleasant, to adduce statistics evidencing the cultural superiority of White over Negro: but it is a fact that obtrudes, one that cannot be hidden by ever-so-busy egalitarians and anthropologists.”

“National Review believes that the South’s premises are correct... It is more important for the community, anywhere in the world, to affirm and live by civilized standards, than to bow to the demands of the numerical majority.”

“The South confronts one grave moral challenge. It must not exploit the fact of Negro backwardness to preserve the Negro as a servile class... Let the South never permit itself to do this. So long as it is merely asserting the right to impose superior mores for whatever period it takes to effect a genuine cultural equality between the races, and so long as it does so by humane and charitable means, the South is in step with civilization, as is the Congress that permits it to function.”...

Hence 'if they acted decent now'. They're not. I just hold that against them a hell of a lot more than what they did when my parents were in grade school.

re: #141 SanFranciscoZionist

Maybe it's because I never carried any kind of a torch for Buckley, but if they acted decent now, I would not hold 1957 against them. After a certain point, it starts to sound like people blathering about the Democrats voting against the Civil Rights Acts.

What's going on now needs to be seen in context, but it also needs to be taken on its own terms to some extent.

I see your point but Democrats don't lionize the Dems who voted against the CRA. Buckley, and those like him are lionized.

re: #150 Johnny Derp

Also true, but Byrd had a second act. No one liked him for his Klan background or his filibuster of the CRA, they liked him for expressing his regret and sorrow over those things, and putting in hard work for decades helping one of the poorest states in the Union get a fair break. He apologized for mistakes he made, and when he made new mistakes he apologized some more.

He was far from a saint. There were saints and giants in his generation, and he was not one of them. But what he's actually respected for in Democratic circles is decent.

Yeah, and we've discussed this. Is it better if they openly go full racist? Better for what, or whom? I tend to be of the side that argues that the more open they can be, the more easily they mainstream their views. A taboo isn't morality, but it's better than nothing.

But a strong argument for the other side always sways me a bit.

Possibly, I guess I just thought most people saw him as just another senate democrat. I think Obama was genuinely touched by Byrd coming up to him when he was a new senator and basically telling him he was embarrassed and ashamed of his past.

I honestly don't know. I think it depends a lot on who you are.

Derbyshire, doubtless, envies Buckley for having lived in a time when you could be a bissel respectable racist and be considered a respectable intellectual. (Derbyshire, BTW, is nowhere near as smart as Buckley.)

I think for others it's closer to what you describe.

But a strong argument for the other side always sways me a bit.

Before living in Kentucky for a decade, I would have agreed with you. My position now is that racism is just as virulent regardless of the language in which it is encoded. I've learned over the years how the people around here--the great and the good of KY conservatism--have created their own little intellectual bubble that is just as wingnutty as blogs posters, but is camoflauged with civility and coded language.

A person that uses subtle insinuation is actively trying to make their racism palatable for an audience that might disagree by removing taboo components such as epithets and expletives. It's a rhetorical attempt to play upon weakness of certainty by evoking anecdotal evidence and "common knowledge"--making racism seem "reasonable" by the performance of being reasonable...polite, socially adjusted, knowledgeable of etiquette and poise. Indeed, the entire pitch of genteel racism is the social proposition that:

I'm clearly a reasonable, polite person who doesn't match existing tropes about white racists, and I'm not N-bombing or swearing: clearly this means that my opinions about "the blacks" are rooted in some nuanced understanding and personal knowledge, not just racism and/or racist assumptions.

And it's a cowardly rhetoric that hides from confrontation and facts. Talk back to a genteel racist and they eschew your opinion because you're impolite, impolitick, or "bringing up a subject polite people don't talk about." And if an anti-racist speaks in anger or issues an insult, then they discount the rhetoric of anti-racism as synonymous with aggression and antisocial conduct.

I half jokingly call the phenomenon the "No, You're the Asshole" Fallacy. You sometimes see it on LGF when a troll says a bunch of insulting stuff, then plays the victim--and declares themselves the winner of the argument--because someone uses the word fuck in a response post.

Re Derbyshire, I'm always interested in the 'IQ tests prove something about race' argument, being as I am on both sides an interesting illustration of how this sort of nonsense changes over time.

On the Jewish side, for example, during the 1890s, over eighty percent of Jews trying to enter the United States were found by the best science of the day to be 'morons' or 'feebleminded'. Now, the more genteel kind of white supremacist tries to get us into the fold by praising how supersmart Jews are supposed to be--or rather, us Ashkenazim, who they always single out because they think we look more like them.

Note that to get a "truer" no. of results you have to go to the last search page. The no. on the first page is often an "estimate", that can be quite off.

Yes, Google uses a 'lazy pagination' system that just approximates the number of matched items, because it's quite resource-intensive to do an exact count and base the pagination on that. I've been looking into this, because I may have to implement something like that for LGF comment searches; with 9.5 million comments, the 'exact count' method is beginning to be problematic.

When I joined LGF every one always referred to the stalker blog but what everyone said was enough for me that I had no desire to look them up. I'm glad that Gus brought this video up. Some argue that when we discussed them it just gives them the attention they lust after. I thought that maybe that might be true. I've changed my mind. The fast removal of the video after being out their for years just proves that sunshine is a good disinfectant. They must have removed it themselves.

After the shooting of Trevon and in Tulsa on Friday and the Derbyshire trash removal we need to talk more and more about all of this. It needs to all come out and be judged and confronted in our society. More please.

You can hear him smacking his gums. Yeah, "I probably cuts up 15 faces in my life." Or something.

If I can be serious for a moment:

Piquerism.

the act of achieving sexual pleasure from penetrating the body with sharp objects, such as pins, nails, stilletos,etc. The sharp object is symbolic of the penis.

Just sayin', it's an odd and highly troubling fixation he's displaying. I mean, he's not talking about fighting or administering beat downs, he's very specific about cutting and penetrating human flesh.

No, turns out he posted the vid yesterday and admitted it's him. He says he's been drunk and is only embarrassed a bit about the use of the n-word, which was due to him using the NY language.

It is also funny as hell since I have to believe that maybe I have a little better grasp on this "Christianity thing" than they do, (as in actually following Christ and his teachings, not the hate propaganda spewed by most of the Right and currently called Christianity).

I was a philistine about post-WW2 "classical" music. At one point I found a Feldman CD at discount and bought it basically out of sarcasm. Here was Feldman on the cover, your basic NYC Jewish intellectual from Neptune, and he couldn't even get a job in the city (he taught at SUNY Buffalo iirc). Good for a yuk, said my peasant, Chicago-area blood.

It's obvious what happened, right? I was mesmerized at first hearing, and Feldman has served as a gateway to other contemporary repertoire.

That class sounds fascinating. I'd love to sit in on that.

In my late teens, I had a girlfriend whose younger brother had been caught trapping, torturing, and killing squirrels on more than one occasion. Their parents knew about it, and didn't take it seriously at all. "They're just squirrels" and "boys are like that" was all they had to say about it. The kicker was that their father was an assistant state attorney general, and had worked on several high-profile murder cases during his career.

Some of what changed was that Derbyshire made a direct accusation of inferiority aimed and African-Americans, one based entirely on race. That is still entirely out-of-bounds in a mainstream publication.

Also different was that Derbyshire said it in direct reaction to the commentary on the Trayvon Martin case. In so doing, he gave approving voice to the sentiments that led George Zimmerman to suspect Martin of wrongdoing based solely on his appearance.

Those two things alone would warrant termination.

I think Muslims around the place Martinez lives should know more about him. I think he is dangerous to them.

I know a lot of Muslims in Long Island. I'll ask around. But there's a lot of guys and girls that love to mouth off about Muslims or even if you look like what they assume a Muslim looks like and generally they spout off and leave as soon as they say it. Like on their way out of the door. I've seen that too many times at the restaurant and it's really true. When ever I witness it at the restaurant towards my husband they always are standing at the doorway with their hand on the door and make a fast exit. Every time.

After listening to Rodan, I really think he is a performance bigot and was playing for the crowd. He's trying to build and maintain a rep. Would love to see his pic. The "I'm not kidding" line seems to me that the story he is telling may not match his appearance. He probably looks like a little toad with a big mouth.

re: #305 Gus

He wouldn't last 15 minutes in the real world talking like that. But yeah, I found this by accident. He figured out that I found it by a comment I left at LGF last night. So, he went and posted it on Diary of Diarrhea. Don't ask me what he said since that's all I know. Youtube pulls the video for hate speech. So, Charles had to host it on his server. Sure enough one of Rodents minions was saying some BS about "Charles hosting hate speech" over here. Right after Rodent put the same video up overnight or something.

LOL. The idiocy really is staggering to behold sometimes.

Gus you did me a favor with this post. Usually I ignore the twitter/facebook/blog flame wars and rivalries quite deliberately. This post put it in my face as to why it's worth spending some time outing these particular haters. R/t'd & Liked

Supposedly, like 600-800k Muslims live in NYC and the immediate area. I don't know if CuriousLurker is one of these, I can't remember if she said which Metropolitan area she is a part of.

Also, I have heard from someone I watch on Mondays that Long Island is rather snotty and other such things.

Indeed.

The change in my head was to take the new media haters as seriously as I do the print/radio/street haters. I make little use of FB & Twitter, so I under rated their importance.

I don't pay attention when someone that characterizes a community one way or another. Generally they are just referring to someone they know that lives there. Ask them some questions about it, usually they refer to one or two people.

re: #302 Satanic Ritual Kazoo

It works similarly for me. It's not our fault. "Gorgonzola" sounds like a creature in the Godzilla universe. Also consider "Rutabaga". Just as you would assume a political candidate named "Abaddon Vindictus" is probably not a man of the people, so too would you assume that a substitute teacher named "Rutabaga Glampers" would definitely NOT be a fun break from your regular teacher.

I was once interviewed by a Saint Petersburg police detective whose name was Myron Shingledecker, I have to admit to having a hard time keeping a straight face when he introduced himself. Pity no one gets to pick their own name, except until recently online...

It's only "hate speech" if someone else points it out, right?

Yes, I live in the NY Metropolitan Area, and there are easily hundreds of thousands of Muslims. As a matter of fact, I have Muslims living on all sides of me in my apartment building. Plus, as with most non-Muslim NY'ers, people tend to move around between NYC/NJ/CT and southern states like NC/SC/GA and Florida. Word travels fast up & down those corridors.

Also, I have heard from someone I watch on Mondays that Long Island is rather snotty and other such things.

Depends on where you go and who you happen to encounter, just like anywhere else.

Again, watch a person on Radio Dead Air during a particular segment who came from LI, and usually has some weird stories. She didn't exactly have a positive view of her former home.

We know 5 or 6 couples that lived in Oklahoma during their college years and moved to Long Island/NYC area and they love it. Most say that they wish they had moved there to go to college and wished they had never lived so long in Oklahoma. Everyone has an opinion. And we all love to share it. Ha ha

329 ProGunLiberal  Sat, Apr 7, 2012 7:09:38pm

re: #328 justaminute

Right. I've ranted a great deal about COS, so I see your point.

I regret the way I acted in High School much more now. Why you ask? Because the friend of mine that I had feelings for (who is still very friendly with me), was just able to tear down my hardline against those I percieve as radical. I had no comeback, and I admit defeat.

If it weren't for the fact that I was mildly demonic in High School, she might feel differently. Now, I feel tremendously guilty about my past.

re: #245 Charles Johnson

BTW, many thanks to you as well for providing a well-known venue and the means to get things out there, Charles. You provide a level of exposure that we couldn't get on our own, and I know it costs you in terms of increased personal harassment.

Please know that it's noted & sincerely appreciated. Jazakallahu khayran.1

If I could go back in time, I would smack sense into my High School self. Whether that would be physically or rhetorically, I wouldn't be able to tell you.

Nothing you can do about the past, but you have the option of using the present & future to seek out positive things & people to feed your mind.

Free will—the choices are yours, and no one but you will answer for them. None of us knows how much time we have left, so it's best to use it wisely.

CL: he accused you of 'threatening' him on his blog. For implying that you were going to warn local Muslims that he's unhinged, after he's on file as saying he has 'cut' and 'stabbed' Muslims.

That's so twisted, not even funny.

CuriousLurker got me thinking.

Could you imagine if a Muslim had said this about Christians or Jews?

Even a nobody like Rodan.

If he were Muslim and that he helped attack a synagogue and had slashed Jews faces just for being Jewish?

Well, I imagine that Rodan's supporters would feel rather differently about it in that case.

That's part of my point. They need to think about what it would be like from a different perspective. To think, what if it was me or my group?

339 CriticalDragon1177  Mon, Apr 9, 2012 10:09:52am

Gus,

I hope Rodan spends some quality time behind bars for what he did. I also hope this videos goes a long way to expose the "counter Jihad movement," for what it really it. The good news is that Rodan may well have helped us, and not realized it.
