This is a hot topic right now but I think I've found the context to what they're referring to and it has nothing to do with being pedophiles themselves. That's not to say any of the of the other stuff they're involved with is clean and I still have no explanation for the "fondling little boys" comment, but I don't think there's any legitimate connection between Stratfor and NAMBLA.
When searching for NAMBLA on Wikileaks I came across this , which is two Stratfor employees discussing tactics used by SHAC, an animal rights organization who was evidently upset with Goldman Sachs for allegedly torturing puppies. One Stratfor employee goes on to add that he/she would put a snake in the backseat of someones Lexus, call the IRS on them, and put their name and address on every hardcore porn and NAMBLA mailing list, among other things. Read the email yourself and you'll understand the tone of what was being said.
Now fast-forward someone has apparently wronged this Reeves person and Ben Sledge is offering his condolences. The "do you want us to sign him up to NAMBLA " seems to me a clear reference to the aforementioned Stratfor discussion regarding the "puppy torturers "
Take from this what you will, but it is my belief that this context offered puts the Stratfor/NAMBLA connection to rest.

I agree with you on this interpretation. Thanks!

This thread is a total shill party. Fuck you all.

You're wrong. You're ignoring the other shit Ben Sledge is involved. You're ignoring "fondling boys". You're ignoring "slicing pizza", the "America hates pedophiles" text and so on.

I think this makes the most sense. I mean look at this quote.
"America HATES pedophiles. I see it everywhere. The flak from the Penn State scandal speaks for itself. But there are two problems here: the first is that pedophiles are so unbelievably afraid to come out, that they hide themselves away and become more and more distraught until they snap. You see, they know we are armed with stones. Why speak out when they know that we will throw them? Sadly enough, WE are the reason this problem exists."
He says "WE" are armed with stones and if they speak out will throw them. Maybe they do like the scientologists and sign them up their enemies with NAMBLA and all kinds of other things.

So the text proves he thinks it's wrong to throw stones at pedophiles. He's a pedo apologist, and you think it's nothing?
KingKongisCTR ago
He says HE will throw stones. How is that being an apologist?
thezodiac ago
And he think he's wrong for doing that. He doesn't throw stones, he said that just to say "I'm a normal person" and then proceeds his pedo apologist speech.

Yeah, my sense is that these guys were shit posting. I know a lot of the people at Stratfor are veterans, many from Spec Ops. They shoot the shit in ways that make this seem tame.
It would suck for us to smear good guys doing their jobs just because they failed to censor their private speech and toe the PC line.
OP, I think you need to post this material in the comments of the original post, for posterity.

good point. initial thread topic on this was completely hysterical, in the non-funny sense.

NAMBLA mostly likely is bullshit? Who would join such a group? A bunch of privileged California gays, about half of which probably died of AIDS in the 80s.

Thanks for providing some context. I saw the other thread too and thought the same thing, just guys joking around. I'll admit if I'm proven wrong, but we need to be careful about misinformation.

Not so fast. They could be lightly joking about something in this form of (unsecured) communication but it could be something that is a much more powerful widespread tool. Blackmail.

Good work. We really need this kind of research. Misinformation will destroy our credibility and distract us just as much as disinformation. Thanks for putting this to rest. I hope redberries and his team are finding more on the Alefantis-Maccoby-Silsby connection. That's the most important discovery we've made in a long time, IMO.
