Ho Ho Ho

Well hello everyone, firstly seasons greetings to all. It's that time of year again when children turn expectant faces toward the sky, log fires burn in grates bedecked with tinsel and holly and the spirit of goodwill pervades the land. So how does our good friend Bishop Bonkingham of Bournmouth celebrate.... why, he starts posting on Atlas Obscura as Santa Claus :-)) For those not au fait with Atlas Obscura it's a fascinating website/forum that documents places of interest all over the world. One of the threads concerns Highgate Cemetery......http://atlasobscura.com/blog/day-3-vampires-magic-duels-and-headless-bodies! What began as a discussion between David and Anthony soon attracted the attention of said dribbling deacon and it wasn't long before the thread became subject to the usual lies, put downs and general nastiness we've all come to know and love. Posting as firstly as 'Anonymous' and 'Vampirogist' Sean went straight on the attack with his normal tactic of smear campaigns. Later he added the username 'Time Traveller' and continued said campaigns against all and sundry, being joined at various instances by his mouthpiece 'Timelord'! Unfortunately for Sean during the course of the ensuing debate various points were raised about his occult past (which e denies), his nazi leanings including his doctoring of Davids political flyers with nazi emblems(which he denies) the threatening phone calls he made (which he denies), his sending of porn to peoples employers (which he denies) and various other scalliwag behaviour. Luckily enough though, there's plenty of evidence to back all of this up including photos witness statements, court records etc so Seans outright denials turned out to be outright lies. In the end he resorted to his default technique of crying abuse and saying he didn't to play anymore. Too late though, That's the trouble with the past, it's got a way of coming back and biting you in the ass. Maybe if he'd had the sense to just tell the truth in the first place he wouln't look such a prat now. Although saying that, having read some of his outlandish claims I think it was always going to happen! So, where are we now? The debate carries on with Sean presently posting like I said as 'Santa Claus'. He's still ignoring the uncomfortable questions that have been levelled at him and we're back to the old insults ploy in his ever more desperate attempts to get off the subject:-))) All very entertaing stuff, nothing like the exposure of hypocrisy to warm us on these dull winter days. A very happy Christmas to everyone, even Sean. Maybe in his role of Santa he could buy himself a very large tin of whitewash.

Anyone For a Hack?

In relation to my comment about being hacked in my last post, I should just clarify that the this is just one of the tactics Sean uses to remove or distort anything he finds offensive from the internet. In other words, anything that might show him for the fake he really is. We're all familiar with his ridiculous threats of libel action, his blatantly hypocritical bleatings of copyright infringement and his dmca takedowns. Sean used a 3rd year student at Colchester University who I'll just call P.D (the poor chap obviously had no idea what a slavering mental case he was working for) to hack into a message board of Davids called "Vampire Talk", and to delete reader's comments he didn't like. Fortunately the ip address was traced and it was stopped at source. This is just one instance of his underhand behaviour but the point is Sean IS a liar and he IS a fraud and incredibly he seems to think people don't realise this. So basically be warned, Sean wants to cover up his past, and to make people believe he's something he's not, and he'll stoop as low as he needs to to try and achieve this. (ha fat chance) Watch out, watch out theres a hacker about, next time it could be you!!

What's in a name

Hi all, sorry for the delay in posting, I've had a bit of a problem with a hacker of late, so I've been avoiding using this account. Hopefully alls sorted now so it's back to normal..... or as normal as it gets where the dotty deacon's involved. Anyhow, down to business.... As promised, here's some more usernames Sean uses (or has used) to hide behind. http://dawwih.blogspot.com/2008/06/who-is-informative-one.html As you can see I've posted the whole page, so if I've mentioned any of them before I do apologise. While I don't condone it I can at least understand why Sean would want remain anonymous given some of the nasty stuff he does to people. What beats me though is that even when writing run of the mill stuff (which he does with monotonous regularity) he still feels the need to cower behind fake identities. Could it be he's ashamed of his past and of who he is...... Maybe! My guess though is that he's so ensnared in his web of bullshit, he wouldn't know the truth if it came up and bit him on the biretta! Come on Sean, be a man about it, like I've told you before, at least have the courage of your own convictions. Do you really expect people to believe your inane drivel when you start off by lying about who you really are. Thanks to Anthony for providing the link, and may I say, well put sir!

(not so) Secrets And Lies

"I am a trained and seasoned researcher of the arcane, the paranormal, and especially those dark areas of humanity where few dare to venture, namely vampirism and demonolatry. I am much travelled and have increased my knowledge exponentially by meeting the most brilliant minds in the fields where I study."

So says Sean while writing as 'Arminous Vambery' in the introduction to his blog 'In The Shadow Of The Highgate Vampire' (spot the ripped off title anyone)!

This blog is the one where our good friend Herr Manny poses as a paranormal scholar of great repute. Obviously such a learned and respected personage would have lots of interesting and informative things to say on the subjects he claims to be so expert in.......

Unfortunately not! This blog is in actual fact the one where Sean derides anybody who dares disagree with his cock eyed views of the universe. It starts with a few thousand words of vitriolic hatred directed solely at David then goes on to list many of Davids friends and aquaintances, most of whom seem to have incurred the fake bishes wrath by simply existing. All these come of course complete with their own individual potted histories, all done to show us why Sean thinks they're bad people and why we shouldn't play with them.

The best bit (for me) is that our Manny actually believes his opinion is important in this regard. He obviously thinks that people are going to take notice of his loopy ravings.

Well, I hate to be the one to break it to you Sean but that's pretty far from the case. As I've said before your pompous disapproval is nothing but that, its just your opinion and its about as grounded in relity as the rest of your insane ramblings.

If anyone fancies a bit of a laugh the blog can be found here:

http://www.blogger.com/profile/02894545483898625174

It's worth checking out if only to see if your on it or not :-)))

Enjoy

I'm good I am

I noticed this passage while reading 'Metaphysical Meanderings' or the 'Herr Manny altar of Self Love'... as it should be called.

"I begin with the inspiration and proceed to make a quick sketch with charcoal or extra black pencil. The basic form is then transfered in very rough outline onto canvas. From this point absolutely anything can happen as the artist becomes the means and his tools become the medium by which more than mere reproduction takes place."

"More than reproduction takes place" sounds like a porn flick to me.

Personally I love this blog. Basically it's the one where Manny tells the world what a swell guy he is and how good he is at everything. And unbelievably, it's all done with a straight face.

Well here's to the pompous old fraud. After all, without people like him around what would the rest of us laugh at :-)))

Rave review

I was looking through the Amazon online shopping site recently when I came across this review of herr Mannys novel 'The Vampire Hunters Handbook' I've cut and pasted it in its entirety as you can see and I haven't made any alterations or deletions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does exactly what it says on the tin..., 24 Dec 2006
By Veritas - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Vampire Hunter's Handbook: A Concise Vamprological Guide (Paperback)
This book is titled "Handbook" - on that basis one would expect it to be a practical guide to vampirology and the shadowy world of vampire hunters. And that's exactly what The Vampire Hunter's Handbook is, living up to its title with each and every page. Chapters discuss blood lust, tradition, antidotes, exorcisms, exhumations, invocations, garlic, mirrors, the Kirklees vampire case, the Highgate Vampire case, vampiroid syndrome, the occult and so much more. There are also some revealing full-page photographs.

Not only does this Handbook explain the methodology of real vampire hunters, past and present, but also those dabbling amateurs who raise a chuckle but never a vampire as they pursue publicity at almost any cost. One in particular ended up with a five years' prison sentence after scaling a cemetery wall to conjure up a vampire during a bizarre occult ceremony.

There is also a lot of interesting information about the conspiracy to stifle serious discussion about real vampires. Academics, authors, journalists and those with an interest in keeping us in "everlasting ignorance" about vampires come in for criticism with evidence of their seemingly intentional misrepresentation of the facts unearthed by such luminaries as Montague Summers and the book's author, Sean Manchester.

Both these gentleman took Holy Orders in the same independent Catholic Church and have become leading authorities on all things vampiric on a universal scale. Summers has been dead for almost six decades, but the book's author still appears regularly in serious film documentaries about the supernatural and exorcism.

I would heartily recommend The Vampire Hunter's Handbook, not just to those who find vampires fascinating but to anyone with an interest in Sean Manchester, the book's author, who is frequently misunderstood in a world which no longer believes in what he has spent his life pursuing, researching, discussing and writing about. Truly a man born out of his time!

What a glowing tribute to the book and to the man....
The only problem is that (as I'm sure you are all fully aware) this whole pile of fawning garbage was written by one Veritas, aka Sean Manchester.

I particularly like the line "truly a man born out of his time"..... out of his mind more like. I notice he's even managed to fit in a pop at David (again). Is it just be just me or does his idiocy go from strength to strength.

Usually in this instance the cries of plagiarism would already be ringing out from Bournmouth but somehow in this case I don't think so, after all that would mean admitting he's Veritas.....and as we all know, that's never going to happen!

The Whole Story

I was lucky enough to recieve an advance copy of 'David Farrant: Out Of the Shadows' earlier this week. While I obviously can't reveal too much, I think it's safe to say there's going to be one very red faced fake bish in bournmouth very soon. At least I think his face will be red. It could be difficult to tell under all that egg! :-))

Still, Seans well known for his sense of humour and I'm sure he'll take these revelations of his past with his usual good grace and easy going manner.......

which means he's gonna hit the roof! Ho ho!

On a different note I've recieved a few more e-mails regarding his fake user names. I'll put them up in a few days. Thanks to everybody who sent them in. I honestly don't know how he keeps track of them all. I guess it's just lucky he's got no religious duties to fulfil, at least he's got plenty of time on his hands.

A Cut Above

Last Friday our potty pal seems to have spent most of his birthday writing a blog of epic proportions, most of which was devoted to accusing David Farrant of libel and deriding him and some of his friends. In amongst this highly amusing piece of pseudo morally outraged nastiness the bish cut and pasted this passage from Davids blog;

"Well, today is not my birthday but I certainly enjoyed opening Kev’s present!  The package contained essential research material dating back many years, including b/w and colour photographs, written correspondence and a selection of personal emails which had been copied onto disc for me. There was also a typed summary of some fairly recent ‘birthday speeches’, or more precisely, suggestions from the host on what should be ‘done about David Farrant’. He (the party host) hadn’t liked my disclosures about fake religious groups and other written material in my published books that debunked a serious belief in vampirism. ... I believe Kev will be returning to Spain later in August, but he will be coming over with Bev before that as they would like to meet a couple of other people." 


Unfortunately Sean's accidently edited out a few minor points in the above, such as the part about his room full of nazi paraphanalia, the bit where he uses fake user names to malign people on a far right website and the part where he gave out Davids private adress with the advice "he lives alone"

Luckily enough I spotted Seans mistake and was fortunately able to correct it for him. We would'nt want him looking like a fraud and a liar now, would we!

Bonky the birthday boy

I'd just like to take this opportunity to wish our favorite fake bish a very happy 67th birthday. Here's to many more years of insane drivel and character assassination! Hip hip hurrah!

This extract is taken from 'The Last Post' (by Sean of course, this time posing as FoSBM)

"Mr Farrant's eldest son (born in November 1967) also indulges in vulgar language and not-so-veiled threats. Jamie Coster, now calling himself Jamie Farrant, stayed out of the picture for over four decades before deciding to seek out his deviant father to the chagrin of the rest of his family.

Veritas commented:

"After forty years of managing to avoid Farrant's curse, Jamie Farrant (chatty.gef) has finally had the sins of the father visited upon him. Now approaching forty-four, he seems every bit as reprehensible as the man whose poisonous legacy he continues by colluding in a vendetta almost as old as himself. Jamie Farrant suddenly sought out his father and decided to change the surname, which had served him for the best part of four decades, from 'Coster' to 'Farrant.'"

Oh dear, It seems I've instigated yet another hissy fit from the raving 'Rev'. Well what can I say.
The fact is that criticism from this pompous idiot can only be a good thing. When you consider his constant lying, his far right wing beliefs (yes,I DO have the photo Sean), his attacks on innocent people he's never even met and his general nasty attitude to all that dare to disagree with him then I take his dissaproval as a compliment. Thanks mate, keep it coming, it's good to know I'm doing something right :-))

On a serious note there is one thing I'd like to clarify.Sean writes,

"Jamie Farrant, stayed out of the picture for over four decades before deciding to seek out his deviant father to the chagrin of the rest of his family."

Seeing as Sean has never met, talked to or been in contact with any member of my family (excluding David of course) for over 40 years, I'm wondering why he feels qualified to discuss their reactions, as he obviously knows absolutely nothing about them.

Just more lies I'm afraid,

Will he ever stop? Somehow I very much doubt it, writing fiction is his forte after all!

Good for the goose

I was reading the barking bishes blog earlier when I came across this highly amusing piece of hypocrisy!

"It is illegal to impersonate a person of the clergy unless it is transparently obvious that it is intended as a fancy dress costume at a fancy dress party, or something of that kind, and the intention, wittingly or unwittingly, is not to deceive anyone into believing the fake cleric is actually an ordained clergyman in holy orders. Someone who has impersonated another person for many years, for example, might be clinically diagnosed as having a mental disorder for compulsive impostorising. Impostor syndrome, sometimes called impostor phenomenon or fraud syndrome, however, is a psychological phenomenon in which people are unable to internalise their accomplishments, and should not be confused with the kind of malicious impersonation being described here which is often accompanied by acts that are to the detriment of the impersonated.  In many countries it is a crime to impersonate somebody on the internet, and it is certainly illegal to dress up as a priest if the person doing so could be confused with a real clergyman."

Aside from the fact he seems to have taken seriously what is obviously a blatant piece of mickey taking, he's also conveniently forgotten that his own claims of episcopalness are highly suspect to say the least. Even if, as he says, he was consecrated a bishop, he was then excommunicated. He can't have one without the other. If the consecration was valid it naturally follows that the excommunication was valid too. Particularly as both rites were performed by the same man. Either way, his claims of being a prelate are as fake as his usernames.
He has no church, no diocese and no congregation. When I asked him what services he performed he avoided the question with his old ploy of crying abuse.
I think maybe its time to hang up the silly hat and stop wearing purple, although it'll probably match his complexion when he reads this. :-)))

The More the Merrier

A couple of weeks ago I asked if anybody knew of any sock puppet usernames coined by our potty prelate friend and the response has been frankly astonishing. Here's a few to start.......

Mythbuster
Arminius Vambery
James
Katrina Garforth-Bles
Dennis Crawford
Michael Thane
Demonologist
Vampirologist
Vampire Researcher
Vampire Research Society
Exorcistate
So late into the night
Robin Crisp
Peter Lord
George Byron
‘Caledfwych’ (the name of King Arthur’s sword!)
Society of St. George
Apostle of Christ
Veritas

I think a trip to Bishops Are Us is due. A bigger silly hat's definately needed with all those nutters sharing it. Stay tuned for more!!

Thanks for all the suggestions and keep them coming.

Show me the money

A word of warning to any authors or purveyors of merchandise. It seems our nutty friend ordered himself a copy of Patsy Langleys 'The Highgate Vampire Casebook' and promised to send a cheque to pay for it. Well guess what, no cheque ever arrived. Could it be the three cars and the Bournmouth bungalow have left him strapped for cash, after all not too long ago he was complaining he couldn't afford his favourite libel suits.
I suggest he hand the collection plate round although with only him to contribute it might take a while.

Seriously though Sean, thievings not a very christian to do now is it. If you must steal, why not take some lead off the outhouse church roof, it's not like anyone ever goes in there!

Will/can he pay?........ watch this space!

What a load of crap

I thought for a start we could take a look at Sean's reaction to the temporary closure of the SNW forum Highgate threads.

http://friendsofbishopseanmanchester.blogspot.com/

Please note the continued insistance that it wasn't him posting all along under various usernames despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Also, some of us will be pleased to find we've been exposed to both barrels of his self-righteous vitriol....... all the while still trying to pretend it's not actually him.
I took the liberty of explaining to him that his secret was out earlier, nothing yet, but I wait with bated breath for his no doubt witty and charming reply :-))

Hi all, welcome to the Friends of Jamie Farrant. We are a group devoted to supporting the beliefs of Jamie Farrant. An upholder of traditional virtues in the face of incredible antipathy blah blah!
