I’ve seen other instances of Jonathan Nolan saying he is suing ZGeek myself but last I knew that just wasn’t the case. Perhaps he’s filed something recently. I’ll certainly have a chat to Tony.

Six people suing zgeek for pornography, death threats AND hate speeches? Wow, you’d think ACA would be all over this by now.

I hope the people involved in this wake up to themselves and realize what a waste of time, money and energy this is and just walk away. As I am.

Thanks for your time, and good luck with weathering this spot of turbulence

The “thing” at the root of this whole fiasco is something which I am having some trouble believing. This mysterious Russian Author/Gun Runner/Ex KGB agent/Nuclear Expert/Whatever. Why would such a person, if genuine, pick an obscure 1-man publishing operation in Australia to publish irrefutable proof of Israeli/US complicity in the destruction of the Twin Towers, and then publish said irrefutable proof using Lulu? Why would such a supposedly capable, competent and credible person choose Lulu, like any other Vanity Publisher? Why would such a person choose to work with Greg Smith or Jonathan Nolan, if they were the real deal? Why not forgo the baggage of associating with Nolan/Smith and just go it alone, or with a complete nobody with no history of being crazy?

Why would this Russian Super-Insider choose a discredited ex-lawyer if he WANTED to be believed?

The fact that Nolan/Smith can’t relate to how others view their incredible claims indicates a real problem.

Now, if you take a look at Mr Nolan’s current forums under his “Book of Mysteries” you’ll find this post by a forum member “Eye Amongst The Blind” a supposed Investigative Journalist:

“Doghead here:

whilst I would 100% definitely pay the bounty, I figure the money is pretty safe for a few reasons.

Basically you have Eye Amongst The Blind (aka Doghead) stating that he has three claimants to a $1,000,000 bounty for aliens. Why they choose to forgo $9 million extra elsewhere and go to Mr Nolan instead is beyond me. Sadly there is no further info on how the final guy went with his “revelations”.

Conspiracy theories, Aliens, Ex-KGB agents, Ex-ASIO/ASIS agents et al. seem to be far more common place in the city where Mr Nolan/Smith lives.

Hopefully someone will be able to put all the pieces together and publish something that explains exactly what is going on here with Nolan/Smith. It will hopefully serve as a warning to others who encounter Nolan/Smith and help them avoid getting stuffed around as Filmnet and zGeek have been.

I suspect that Nolan is nothing more than an ex-lawyer who is now a conspiracy-theory buff (with whatever traditional mental baggage that entails) that can’t stand the thought of people judging him for what he is, and calling his bluff when he waves the “lawyer threat card”. I suspect he will try to “win” at any cost, even redefining what “win” is (Trying to trademark names such as zGeek and FilmNet is an indicator of this course of action).

He keeps calling people “those sociopaths”, but I suspect that he is just projecting. He may be dealing with issues of his own, which could be why he projects his own problems upon anyone he sees himself in conflict with. That is not uncommon in people who have diagnosed sociopathic issues. However, modern treatment is moving away from grouping people simply as “sociopaths”.

I wonder if he’ll sue them too now. Popcorn and hilarious drama seems follow this guy around everywhere he goes on the internet.

Thanks for the updates TP I really appreciate it as it makes for some interesting reading.

Post #5 is interesting…

The other forum members don’t appear to believe him, but seem to be blissfully unaware of what he is.

I just noticed that the Youtube trailer I featured in my post has been pulled at some point, maybe Nolan trademarked ‘Youtube’ too and sued them.

This guy keeps digging himself deeper… by the time he’s done even oxygen won’t want anything to do with him.

It is interesting to note that Nolan was publicly claiming as recently as the 26th of June that he is a barrister. I wonder where he is registered? Hmmm….

First dodgy email “summonses” to FilmNet and zGeek, now bogus C&D orders. Nolan and his sock puppet mate are making Lionel Hutz look good at this point. Maybe they should move for a “Bad Court Thingy”.

I am beginning to wonder if Greg Smith actually exists, and isn’t just another identity of Nolan. I can’t (and for that matter don’t want) to make sense of this mess.

I feel sorry for Tony and the FilmNet guys, to have their time wasted by this clown, for the stress that it must have caused them and their families, until they realized that this was just a waste of time and money.

Personally, I think he knows his main case is bogus and was hoping this petty little surprise attack would win the day for him. I think this is just a desperate scramble for any “win” he can get. If nothing else it costs Tony money. The more time and money he can waste to get revenge, the happier he will be. Is that sociopathic?

Nolan has alleged that his investors pulled out due to a character clause in their agreement. Having seen this stunt pulled now, if the investors existed in the first place, I think that this proves that they made the right call.

Who are they going to give the domain to, the guy who just registered the trademark a few days ago or the forum owner who’s been running his forum off the domain for 10 years?

As far as I know you can’t just register a trademark and then demand whoever has yourtrademark.com to shut down immediately. Nolan clearly has no idea how the internet works.

Interesting that none of this has been posted on his blog; http://finchleycentral.blogspot.com

It seems Mr Nolan has decided to Trademark the name “zgeek” and then sue zgeek for breaching his trademark.

It looks like Mr Nolan realised that his case won’t stand up in court and is desperate for victory at any cost. So much the better if he can waste zgeek’s money in the process. This strikes me as both vindictive and unethical.

I am also highly offended by his tone in all his replies on this matter. It’s easy to be condescending and smarter-than-thou over the internet, but please have some respect for your fellow internet users.

Mr Nolan, I see that you have been involved in the entertainment industry for a while now. As a Canberra resident, and a fan of local theatre, I was curious if you were the same Jonathan Nolan who threatened to sue a local production company for putting a female into a male role in a Midsommernight’s Dream?

I recall threats of legal action being made by a small local company on their “Operation Shakespeare” forums, and an amount of name-calling, accusations etc. I also remember claims that this small company would have to cancel the production due to the theft of their ideas and that their forums were being watched by spies. All occurring before anything had been done, but after “expenses” had been raised.

I didn’t like visiting the forums of that small company, as the amount of abuse, threats and name-calling made it seem very uninviting.

Given your own crusade to clean up the net, I am certain that the owner, admin, moderators and users of that company’s own forums would be feeling sheepish in comparison. Heck, thanks to your own efforts, that forums’ previous excesses should now be available via their ISP records for the world to see under the guise of “discovery”? Wouldn’t they? That might even prove an established pattern of behaviour, wouldn’t it?

I am sure given the similarity in circumstances (call it a modus operandi, if you will), you might understand my confusion. So, in brief, are you that same Jonathan Nolan?

Thanks.

BTW, as a point of law, can you advise me if civil cases automatically start off at the Supreme Court?

I suggest you immediately contact his school and ask nay DEMAND that he be suspended.

Then you should immediately lodge forms with the SUPREME OVERLORD RULER OF THE UNIVERSE COURT and sue him for eleventeen bajillion dollars.

I can’t believe how rude some people are!

For the record. I didn’t take the posts down when they first complained because the complaint was posted in the thread. At no point did either gentlemen bring the thread or posts to the attention of our moderators. We have a “report” button on every single post on the site. And a “Contact us” at the bottom of every page on the site. We run vbulletin which has this system inbuilt for this very thing.

So I just considered them forum trolls as the complaint was rude and threatening. Not one you’d get from a normal business. I’ve had many requests to have things removed from my site and I always comply. But the manner in which these guys did it just screamed forum troll so I ignored their first request.

This is what they wanted. Quoted from their first complaint. I have a full copy but it’s too much to post here.

“I will consider the following to be the MINIMUM level of required response from zGeek:
- a full retraction from zGeek,
- a full apology from zGeek,
- the offending thread deleted
- the offending poster, “atomboy”, banned by IP address, from zGeek
Damages will also be sought in the supreme court against zGeek and against the “atomboy”.

I require the name and address of the forum member known as “atomboy” in order to serve legal papers upon them. Failure to provide these details will only delay the matter slightly and will be taken as further evidence of compliance.

I also require this information (name and physical address) for those responsible for the zGeek forum. I have noticed that no names or physical addresses have been provided on the site. If you do not provide this information, your lack of cooperation will be noted in the ensuring legal case. ”

I don’t hand out this information due to privacy laws and this really smelt of forum trolls since they had both been in the thread arguing and insulting just like the everyone else.

Oh, and I had not participated in the thread nor did I know about it until they complained. My site is busy, I get around 500 to 1000 posts per day.

Once I got the lawyers letter the thread was removed.

Jonathan may accuse me of lying, but I assure you I am not. I have the logs and emails to prove all of it.

What are you talking about who works for what business? I never stated you or Greg Smith worked for anyone but yourselves. Pisces media was never mentioned in my original article and only came up afterwards.

Best of luck with your crusade to censor the entire internet and sue for some ridiculous income amount.

After you fail miserably I hear Stephen Conroy is always hiring.
