There has been an attempt by the owner of the KOBE HQ website to refute claims made in “The Story of Bridget”. I wish to eliminate some ambiguities.
Before I begin, I ask the reader to consider the following points. KOBE HQ hides behind a curtain of anonymity while I do not. KOBE HQ has a history of targeting political forums and political websites online with harassment. That history, under the banner of “KOBE HQ” began with their harassment of me and my websites. Some of the individuals behind KOBE HQ may have been engaged in such activities for years before using the name “KOBE HQ”, but that is outside of my knowledge. What I do know is the history of how the name “KOBE HQ” was chosen.
Back in 2001, a person, the IP address of which traced back to www.tag.com, began harassing me online. His or her harassing posts included threats against my employment. This person used the online handle “kobe”. The owner of www.tag.com is Technology Advancement Group or (TAG). If you look at some of the contracts TAG is working on, you will see that TAG works for the Department of Homeland Security. TAG also has worked for the NSA.
At the time the online harassment began, TAG was working on a project with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). I was working for a defense contractor which I will refer to as The Company. The Company was working with DISA too and there was contact between The Company and TAG on that project. While I was being harassed by “kobe” at TAG, I mentioned to Cyndy, a contact point at The Company between The Company and DISA, that someone at TAG using the name “kobe” was harassing me online. In fact, I discussed this with her frequently.
This person at TAG using the handle “kobe” stopped posting in early 2002 and was replaced by a person from Baltimore, Maryland using the handle “Schooner.” This person, I assert, is the Bridget about whom The Story of Bridget was written. She works for the Defense Intelligence Agency and is a former romantic interest of mine.
I have a post from mid 2002 where another employee from The Company who uses the name “Tony the Tiger”, and is the gay lover of the vice president of The Company, recruits someone posting under the name “Superior Black Man” or SBM (later known as KOBE SBM) for the purpose of harassing me online. Tony the Tiger (whose real name is Antonio) states “use the name KOBE, it will drive DeVoy crazy.”
Superior Black Man responded by creating the website KOBE HQ and changing his online name to KOBE SBM. Schooner changed her online name to KOBE HQ and joined the KOBE HQ website. KOBE SBM has stated numerous times that he was recruited by KOBE HQ to create the website for the purpose of harassing me. Indeed, I have copies of posts by Schooner (aka KOBE HQ, whose real name is Bridget) that state that she will put up a website to “expose” me. This post predates the creation of the KOBE HQ website by about five months.
KOBE HQ (Bridget), posting under the name “In Zee Bunker”, published threats against me on an online forum known as “The Cheese Board.” She stated that victory was at hand and that soon someone would show up at my office, that I would be surprised, and that that would be the end of my job. (This was in March of 2002).
Shortly thereafter, Bridget showed up at the office of The Company. Mary, then head of human resources and now CFO of the company (as well as wife of the President, Doug (BTW, she is neither qualified to be the head of human resources nor a CFO)) instructed me to take the place of the receptionist because someone “important” was coming and the receptionist was out. I answered a knock on the front door and Bridget (KOBE HQ) was there with another woman. Both were dressed in military uniforms and they announced that they were with the Defense Intelligence Agency and were there to meet Mary and Doug. The woman who spoke for both introduced herself as Bridget and her nameplate had Bridget's last name. She resembled the Bridget I loved ten years before, only rather than being a poorly dressed activist, she was now a smartly dressed Defense Intelligence Agency agent. She asked me for my name and said, with a smirk, “Well Steve, do you like working here?” At that moment, Mary came in from behind the corner and, with a smirk, led the two to a conference room with Doug.
Shortly thereafter my employment with The Company ended. Later, KOBE HQ would state that she had been to Austin (the location of The Company) once before to “check out an installation.” Doug, president of The Company, had stated to the entire company that the Defense Intelligence Agency had come to “check out the installation,” referring to the security of the company.
KOBE SBM states on his website that KOBE HQ is not Bridget and that KOBE HQ's real name is Don. I can believe that more than one person has posted as KOBE HQ over time. The writing style of the earlier KOBE HQ and the current KOBE HQ are very different. If the current KOBE HQ and the KOBE HQ of 2002-2003 are different people, then evidence clearly links the two into a relationship where the earlier KOBE HQ is Bridget and the other KOBE HQ is a friend of hers who pilots tug boats in Maryland (no, I'm not joking).
KOBE SBM claims on his website that he knows nothing of an employee of the The Company named Josiah. Josiah, as I explain in The Story of Bridget was paid by Doug to stalk me online from the offices of The Company using an Internet appliance. How do I know this? I know this because I caught him with the appliance, because Doug told me he had him working on a personal project at night and I was to leave him alone when he didn't show up for work on time in the morning, because I traced the harassment back to the IP of a web application server, because the harasser was aware of my comings and goings at work in real time, because Josiah had been caught going through my things in my office, because Josiah had been caught putting a foreign substance in my food, because he had been seen by my wife and later by me stalking our apartment, and because Doug insisted on giving him a 2000 bonus, with my knowledge, for “the extra work he had done for Doug”, and not for the work The Company paid him for. Doug also hinted to me about Josiah's involvement during a one on one meeting with him in his office. Josiah was also seen spying on me by other employees of The Company, sporting a notebook and writing down observations of what I was doing from hour to hour.
I have other information from a conversation in a management meeting where Doug, Mary, and a person now working for DARPA connected Bridget and “Schooner.”
I have much more proof and I could go on and on, but that will wait for a book. I will now address some comments concerning a person named Gustavo who stood with me in Harvard Square. I mistakenly identified him as a member of KOBE HQ. This mistake occurred when I was still under the impression that KOBE HQ's website was the center of the harassment. What I did not understand at that time was that the Defense Intelligence Agency was the center of the harassment and KOBE HQ's website was just one small component of that harassment. I still contend that Gustavo was part of the harassment. What I retract is any claim that he is a member of the KOBE HQ website.
If you read The Story of Bridget and The Story of Elise, you will find the this harassment project goes all the way back to 1991 when I was a member of CISPES. Both Bridget and Elise were members of CISPES. I believe that Elise was Bridget's roommate when she spent a few months in Boston back in 1991. Since I know that Bridget was working for the DIA, I suspect Elise's credentials as well.
The harassment in the Boston area (where Elise lives) center around two loci. One is Elise and the other is the Dedham Police Department. Elise sent her brother “Veritas” to stalk me in Harvard Square. From previous conversations with Elise, I know that Elise and Gustavo are friends. From conversations with Josiah, I know that Gustavo and Josiah are friends. Gustavo infiltrated our group and spied on us on behalf of the harassers (who we now know to be the DIA) in Harvard Square. “Veritas” harassment me online (in addition to stalking me in person). I believe that “Veritas” played a role in subverting Boston IMC with regard to the harassment, but I am not sure about this claim. What I do know is that a certain member of Boston IMC at the time, a woman, is a very close associate of Elise.
What we have, now, is a network of harassers. The network's starting node is Bridget at the Defense Intelligence Agency. This node spreads out the following nodes: The Company (Doug, Mary, Josiah, Antonio, Antonio's boyfriend Michael, Cyndy (the contact with DISA)); The Website KOBE HQ (Southern California and Tucson, Arizona); Elise (Elisa, Veritas, Gustavo, Laura, et al), and the Dedham Police Department (Ed St.G, works for JTTF).
Given the above, KOBE SBM is correct in stating that I misidentified various people as being members of the KOBE HQ website. However, most of those implicated were involved in the harassment, but were not members of the KOBW HQ website.
KOBE SBM attempts to project an air of omniscience. However, he does not know as much about the harassment as I do. As the target of the harassment, I experienced the harassment and traced back it sources. It is likely that KOBE SBM is only aware of those parts of the network that contacted him or where revealed by me. He cannot make categorical statements regarding the role of The Company in the harassment while simultaneously denying a connection to The Company for knowledge of the one implies the other.
There are many things regarding the harassment that I have never published or even mentioned. I kept the fact that I knew Bridget was involved a secret for 6 years. What else have I withheld? You may never know.

A perfect song for a stalker....
No need to find me, Bridget. I already know what you're about and it isn't pretty.
