I have found many web sites uses that kind of techniques to hide their real information.

Total silence from ICDISS although they were promising to produce conclusive proof.<BR/><BR/>I have checked out their Venezuelan involvement and cannot find anyone who has heard of them...<BR/><BR/>I have come across one source (whom I can't quote or identify) who says he has met Megan Stephenson and that she does look like her picture in the Tiraspol Times<BR/><BR/>Finally, in response to "Neoconomist":<BR/><BR/>1) We are pretty critical of the Kaczynskis as a cursory look at the Economist website would show. I don't demonise them as much as their opponents do, but that's because I try to be fair. It's usually a bad idea to attack news coverage you don't like by saying "why not write about X" instead. <BR/><BR/>2) I think that my articles and other coverage have pretty much destroyed the ICDISS's credibility (especially given their lack of response). So no, I don' tthink I have been the unwitting tool of their propaganda. Anyone who googles them now comes easily to the critical coverage.<BR/><BR/>3) I wish Moldova well, but I don't see how my articles hurt its chances.<BR/><BR/>4) I do not see myself as Simon Bolivar in any way shape or form. My journalistic idols, such as they are, are Bruce Lockhart and Robert (Oxiana) Byron.<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/>Edward<BR/><BR/>2)Edward Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11369936559712607693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24528000.post-1155641852406742572006-08-15T11:37:00.000+00:002006-08-15T11:37:00.000+00:00Hmmm.

I wrote a commentary on Trans. for the SF Chronicle earlier this year, and was getting ready to write a piece on Trans. for a website, based on the bombings and grenade--ran across a ludicrous Q&A on Megan Stephenson, which led me to your site when I googled her and ICDISS. Thanks for the background on this mystery NGO.Patti McCrackenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00254723976146583218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24528000.post-1155274774162491222006-08-11T05:39:00.000+00:002006-08-11T05:39:00.000+00:00Dear Zzyisas galiu suprantit lietuviskai-koks yra ...Dear Zzyis<BR/><BR/>as galiu suprantit lietuviskai-koks yra tekstu linkas?

I think there's a very interesting point here about the internet, incidentally, which is that although at first sight it enables disinformation, in reality it makes it hard because everything is so traceable.<BR/>I am fascinated by Liliana D as her activities on Wikipedia seem to have got the whole thing going, and include the curiously elaborate pattern of providing "related" entries which Chriso quite rightly highlights.<BR/>I have left numerous messages for her in Wikipedia and elsewhere. One she deleted, the others she hasn't answered. Of course that's her privilege. But it does raise some questions.<BR/>I have been told firmly by Megan Stephenson that LD will not be answering my messages, and that by mentioning her in my article I may have endangered her family in Venezuela.<BR/>There clearly is someone called Liliana Dioguardia from Venezuela who pops up on a Yahoogroups site, writing in Spanish, based in Italy as an emigre. Did ICDISS just "borrow" her identity (risky). Or did she get hired by them for this new project? I hope to find out...<BR/>I am asking all my Latin American contacts for information but nobody has ever heard of ICDISS or any of the names associated with it.<BR/>Anders36 makes a reasonable point, but I think there is a strong counter-argument. If they really were involved in clandestine anti-Chavez efforts then why would they in 2006 suddenly stick a tiny mention of their existence on a near-dormant website. And not on every page, either. <BR/>I think the most likely explanation is that some people (or one of those) involved in ICDISS have some background in rather junior-level political dirty tricks from the anti-Chavez days, and are using this as cover for the new project. <BR/>The other lead is William Mauco. He has an extensive record of posting intelligent and fairly neutral entries on Wikipedia, not only about TD but about other unrecognised statelets. Crucially, these predate ICDISS's birthday of January 2006. And he also claims to have been at their conference in Mexico City in April of this year.<BR/>I have written to him asking to get in touch, and had a friendly email in reply.<BR/><BR/>I am planning to follow up this research in an article in European Voice at the end of August, so watch this space!<BR/>bestEdwardEdward Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11369936559712607693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24528000.post-1154862762219933302006-08-06T11:12:00.000+00:002006-08-06T11:12:00.000+00:00Edward, great article and investigation!

Your (=Economist) article has been the topic of a Moldova TV show "Resonans" where the TV host conveyed the details in Russian. <BR/><BR/>Also, it's been widely circulated among educated Moldovans ...
