FOX News Atlanta reporter Dale Russell spoke at this event and said this about plagairism:

"Everything we're talking about is so simple: If it's not your work, attribute it."

It would be nice if this guy practiced what he preaches about plagairism as it appears that this is the case with his recent story about "Brazil Sex Tourism."

I didn't see or hear anything he reported that I had not previously done so here since March 2008.

This not only discredits journalists but tarnishes that which he's reporting as his own.

Sandy:

Perhaps this guy never heard of you fine efforts? The mainstream press has with few exceptions ignored the Jester scandals.

Your quest for justice against this cancer in the fraternity is remarkable in perseverance. Please don't let this slight intentional or otherwise deter, what I assume is your main goal, or cleaning up this mess.

Leave the glory to others, you are doing great work, keep it up!

Go Sandy Go

    This guy knew about my work.

    He or someone at his station has been reading it since May. He or someone from his station has been here at least 28 times since then, reading about 5 pages per visit and spending as much as over 20 minutes per visit reading and researching.

    Thank you for your kind words, but to me, this is not a slight. It's a slap in the face. I've been pursued legally, survived efforts to have my articles censored and had to deal with that Tazmack copyright infringement stuff.

    I've been investigating this Brazilian sex tourism thing for a year and ten months.

    This is the only place in the world to read about this stuff. Some of the other Jester stuff was launched by the Buffalo News after Dan Herbeck reported that those three had been popped in the FBI's human trafficking sting. But when I reported it, I cited my source/s, without fail.

    My main goal is for the Shriners to get back to the business of providing free medical care to burned and crippled children. But we've discovered those who hide behind this noble purpose to misuse charitable donations, be corrupt, party with prostitutes at tax payer expense and be investigated by the FBI for child sex tourism.

    It really bothers me that the elders are abused like this, especially our military vets.

    Back to work,

    Sandy

      Sandy: Some day prominent biographers and historians will write extensively of your efforts. So many of the great contributions are not recognized in the time they are made.

      When this will happen, we can not know, except in the fullness of time Sandy Frost will recognized up to the highest level as a pathfinder journalist and even as a philosopher.

      I, and many of my peers, must wait in silence for the scouge of the jesters to pass into the oblivion they deserve. We can not act openly against them as they hold the fraternity as hostage with their power. You Sandy are a light at midnight.

      Keep up the great work.
