I, my family, and everyone dear to me has been wronged by the powers
that be of the Walt Disney corporation. Please, if you want to hinder
the workings of American justice, go right ahead.

The Constitution of the United States provides freedom of speech, and I
was born here and I live here.

The internet has been formed and has grown based on the highest ideals
of the freedom of ideas, and this includes both the negative and
positive forms of these ideas. While expression of valid ideas in this
forum continues to be a privilege and not a right, the proximity of
these two forms of guarantee of human liberty are sufficiently close to
be combined.

By all means speak up if you think that these freedoms should be done
away with for the sake of some greedy criminal organization's public
relations and profits.

Currently, you have the same rights that I do to say such things.

I must protect my right as a citizen of the United States of America.
The executives of the Disney corporation are keeping me from
establishing that right.

Speak up if you agree with me. If not, may you and your imaginary
Disney world rejoice in all your evil greed and corruption.

Can you tell me how Disney has wronged you? And why on earth I'd want to
give up my freedom of speech? And how has Disney kept you from speaking out?
You're speaking out now, aren't you?

Don't forget those that are both! Does "financially tied" mean our deposits?

You know Michael, there is a lot of "them" around here. You may not be

Paul T. responds: Michael, let's chat. I want you to relax, close your eyes for
5 seconds, and then open them, focusing only on this screen.

Imagine yourself in a theater, a movie theater. It is a very grande olde
theater, large and ominous. The walls are solid black, the chairs, black as
cole. It is pitch dark, you are all alone and all you can see is the screen.

On that screen there are some large letters but blurred and you can't make them
out. The letters become bolder, and bolder, slowly coming into focus on the
screen that is in the pitch dark theater.

Finally, the words come into full focus...scroll down now to read them...

Michael...when I count backwards from three, you will awaken. Your mind will be
open like a window, like a door to new experiences. You will feel in full
control of your actions and your destiny, and you will follow your heart and
wishes. Your heart and wishes will yearn for Disney World, Mickey plushes, and
stockholder reports from Michael Eisner. Yes Michael...it is no mistake that his

own identity, your own fate...three...two..one.*snap*

> Paul T.

Paul, you seem like a well-intentioned person. You are, however, a
helpless victim of the evil influence of the Disney mind control
tactics.

When I first met with Disney consumer product executives in 1988, I was
told by one of them, "Our plan is to take over the world. The first
step is through toys and other merchandise. The second step is through
mass hypnosis."

This is not some sort of crazed, hysterical lunacy, Mr. T. This is the
scary truth. You are what the world calls "normal", but "normal" now
means "Disney slave".

Listen very carefully to my next few words. My TRIMOBIUS(R) products
are the only way to save yourself. The Walt Disney Company is trying
to take TRIMOBIUS(R) away from the common, decent folk like you and
me. THEY WANT CONTROL OF US.

My major lawsuit against the Walt Disney Company, worth millions and
millions of dollars, was thrown out, not because it wasn't completely
found in truth and justice, but because the individuals who oversaw it
were under the same influence you are under now.

You better be thanking your lucky stars Mr. Michael Eisner was never
convicted of the MAJOR crimes he and other Disney executives committed
against me. Your entire world would have been shattered had that
incident occcured.

Save yourself while you can! The more of us there are, the less of
them there will be!

Ridicule me if you so choose, but you obviously do not understand the
significance of my MAGICAL magical hat. It is a genius product of
which I am the sole inventor.

This structure allowed me to gain admittance to the International
Brotherhood of Magicians who admitted me without any other training in
the subject of magic based solely upon my presentation of this
structure. No one before me, no, not even members of the London Inner
Circle of Magicians and the Los Angeles Magic Castle, had seen anything
like it.

The greedy and controlling executives of the Walt Disney Company
ingnored all laws regarding intellectual property, seizing the rights
of what was my complete invention, and using it as their own. They
arrogantly claimed the same structure was invented and patented by
their ruthless organization over sixty years ago. That claim led to my
major lawsuit, which was turned down, simply because all the people in
the District of Columbia are as you people are.

I WILL NOT LET THEM DESTROY MY MIND AS THEY HAVE YOURS!

Where was Pitzel from? He claims his law suit was filed in Washington DC, I
believe, yet he is posting from Georgia (via Citizens Telephone Company),
through Deja (a great way to try to hide your real identity. So, if anyone
wants to do a little more sleuthing, you could likely find out if this is an
impersonator.

In article <PoalOOerswINLh9ldpKDioK=Jz...@4ax.com>, Jeff says...

Paul T. responds: None taken. Although I do believe that both the one dood, and
you, have good points.

I think that I have definately been influenced "by" Disney. Heck, my, and each
of our mere presences on this newsgroup testifies to that. In some sense, Disney
has influenced each of us.

And I admit that from time to time I have wondered if Disney doesn't have some
kind of insight on the psychology of the inner mind, such that they are able to
procure such deep sentiments amongst so many fans. Heck, look at that one guy
that has his whole body covered in Disney tatoos and spends every dime he makes
on related memorabilia. I think there are many people with varying degrees of
addiction if you will, to Disney. It causes one to pause, and wonder just if
there is a line between conscious choice, and some kind of psychological
manipulation from service and product suppliers.

But on the other hand, I can say with a fair amount of confidence that despite
my apprant committment to studying Disney, I do not let their best interests
interfere with seeking perspectives. If a story or idea lends itself towards
Disney's benefit, that's great. If it doesn't, that's not going to stop me from
searching for the truth. I do think that much is apparant with me and I believe
this is what you are referring to when you say the world has gone mad.

So, yes, I could see it as being reasonable to question if Disney has some sort
of subliminal capabilities. Heck, when I was a kid, there use to be nationwide
rumors that K-Mart and other chains played subliminal messages in their
department store music that shoppers hear. The idea, or entertainment of it,
need not necessarily be automatically dismissed as "paranoid." The level of
committment Disney gets from so many folks, may make an otherwise sane person
wonder if there's something more to it than just warm fuzzies.

Especially in this day and age when we have riots protesting world trade
practices, and groups who are very wary of corporationism on global scales. Some
think that the structure and governing of huge business is comparable to that of
governments. So seeing some get as large as Disney, with the combined ability to
control whole economies, may be indication of future dominance by them, as some
have opined as of late. There are an increasing number of legitimate news
stories showing up about this sort of thing.

Yet, someone who insists on the idea that Disney is capable of 100% control of
people's minds or that they are an evil presence who can posess the collective
thoughts of the masses, would seem to be either pulling one's leg, or suffering
from paranoid delusions of grandeur. In either case, personal alarm is not
warranted. Amusement from it is an immediate reaction, but should be short lived
in my opinion as it's only funny once. After that, if it's still a joke, it is a
stale one. Or if it is out of a true illness that someone believes that way
about Disney, it is likewise not funny.

Now if you'll excuse me, I believe I'll go scour the net for more Disney
articles, and count my change jar to see if there's enough for a resort upgrade
for our next trip, just because...well, I feel like it, is all. This is Paul T.

Holy CRAP....is it me, or did you forget to mention what the hell your point
is? How is Disney infringing on your rights? You made some really neato
comments about freedom and some other stuff somewhere in there someplace, but I
failed to see how it all relates to the Disney company. I realize I'm a bit
slow sometimes, maybe you could break it down into little words that I could
understand. Thanks

I agree that no point was given. If his point was that Disney is full of
corruption and greed, he is free to go ahead and voice it. However, it seems
he saying that his family was wronged because he visited a Disney theme park
and found it to be commercialized and expensive(?).

I visit Disney theme parks out of "greedingly" desiring an escape and self
indulgence for me and my family. Therefore, if that is why we visit Disney
then greed begets greed and his opinion is without
merit. In his greed he is desiring fun without paying for it!

Besides as a Disney Stock holder, The Disney Company better have my interests
at heart, else I will find a company who will.

Please, folks, this is another idiotic parody post, referring to a person who
posted to the Disney newsgroups back in 1996.

Like the other recent parodies, it has caused confusion among a lot of people
who have no clue that it's somebody's warped idea of a joke.
Here is a quote from AOL regarding terms of service. I think most ISPs have a
similar set of guidelines.

"The Internet is a fairly anonymous place; an unfortunate side-effect of this
is the ease with which people consider harassing others, flaming them or
trolling for flames. Harassing someone, either by posting deliberately
offensive messages or by trying to impersonate them, is unacceptable and will
be considered a serious violation of the Terms of Service if reported to AOL.
Flaming is the act of posting emotionally inflammatory messages, usually due to
a lack of restraint or a short temper. Reviewing what you plan to post to a
newsgroup, particularly when you are agitated or upset, is an excellent way to
avoid flaming. Trolling is the act of posting messages that are intentionally
crafted to enrage or draw someone into flaming; trolling is also a Terms of
Service violation."

Aha! AOL! No wonder! It is well documented that AOL is being controlled by
the vast DISNEY empire, and that it is part of the cabal that seeks to
control you! No wonder they would attempt to foist their laughably called
'rules' to attempt to further control you! And what's more you take up
their cause! My friends, do not be fooled! You will rue the day, and rue,
and rue, and rue, and rue, and rue - That's six times the rue! The
TRIMOBIOUS(tm) movement will sweep the world!

Surely you're not mocking the importance of the MAGICAL magical
(tm) TRIMOBIOUS muff. I once was a unbeliever as well. I scoffed at
Mr. Pitzel and his claims. I assumed they were 'ravings' as any of us do
when confronted by 'trolls'. But you people are wrong! Mr. Pitzel has been
wronged by the evil (new) DISNEY company. You assume that the claims of
mind control are out of place, but that is only because you too have
become the sheep! Do the lemmings realize that they are being herded over
the cliff? But aha! Lemmings do NOT go over cliffs! That is merely another
illusion pulled over your eyes but the Disney corporation! If it were not
for brave soldiers of righteousness like Mr. Pitzel and Paul T., the world
would long ago have become the sole stomping ground of the evil (new) Walt
DISNEY CORPORATION! Mr. Pitzel, my muff salutes you! Six times!

If (and that is a big if) you really are infamous Pitzel, I am disappointed!
After everything I'd heard I really expected something more creative.

I don't believe deja.news came into being until about 1995.

That's about the right timeframe... as i recall Pitzel was circa 1995. I
wonder what happened to that guy?

Pitzel's back! Let the flames begin!

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

Here's a bit off the TDC site...

--
Gather round me, my children, and your Czarina will tell you of the murky,
far-off, downright baffling beginnings of the TDC...

Every Great Thing Starts With A Nutty Idea.. Once upon a time on the
rec.arts.disney.parks newsgroup a strange person named Michael Pitzel began
posting unhinged messages, claiming that Disney had stolen from him his
patented design of a "magical *MAGICAL* hat" which could be turned inside
out 6 times -- like a triple Mobius strip, sort of. He called this creation
the Trimobial Hat.

And Lo! A Great Genius Comes Along... Michael continued to rave on a
daily basis for about three months, castigating us all for being the dupes
of the Evil Mouse Empire. Finally, on the historic date of May 26, 1996, the
fabulous Sean Squier announced the formation of the TRIMOBIUS DISNEY
CABINET!!!, the members of which would take on titles having to do with
Disney/anything that could be expressed 6 ways.

This led to the production of numerous TRIMOBIUS *MAGICAL* products©®T
such as; TRIMOBIAL caftan, TWINKLE TIARA, BARBIE'S TRIMOBILIAN HOME, NFL
TRIMOBIUS and on and on. After that, it just caught on. Most people just use
it as a way of adding something silly to their sig., and of indicating that
they read the newsgroup regularly I suppose; but some of us do some light
role-playing as well.

Graciously Yours,
Eureka

Actually, it just says that congress will make no law curtailing your
freedom of speech; it doesn't say anything about private matters.
Various forms of restriction have been held to be acceptable in the
past; for example, not yelling "fire" in a crowded theatre,
restrictions on obscene material, etc. More and more cases are coming
up in which the courts are upholding cases against people who smear
companies online as well, particularly if you imply something is a
substantiated fact, not merely an unsubstantiated personal opinion.

Various contracts can also enforce silence; such as protection of trade
secrets, non disclosure agreements, gag orders in out of court
settlements, etc.

If you think that Disney has done something illegal to you, I recommend
you go consult a lawyer; this is hardly the proper, or, indeed, even a
useful forum, for that type of redress, particularly with something
that nebulous and unsubstantiated.
