On the Facebook page founded by several Palestinians called “No One In Gaza Wants Ken O’Keefe” there is an ongoing collection of the various deeds and words of Ken O’Keefe. Ken fancies himself to be the hero of Gaza, but for a while it’s gone out of his discourse, which is quite fine with the Gazans, who prefer not to be associated with his delirious rants and scams, having already had their share of the fallout from his narcissism.
The page sometimes posts screenshots of Ken’s rants and commentary, and when it published the screenshot that follows, his former ally, friend and supporter Max Igan left the comment posted below, with the permission to publish it or disseminate it. (We have only modified a bit of punctuation and highligted a sentence).
“Ken can release all the angry rants and attempt divert from the core issue and tie people’s attention up in details all he likes but at the end of the day he has 2 very, very simple ways to clear his name.
- Produce a lawful contract that will prevent people from being compelled to fund war as he promised or 2, Produce evidence to show the funds were used in attempting to create one – as he also promised. Very, very easy. Do that and it all goes away and I will happily eat humble pie and support him 100%. But he won’t do either of those two very simple things – because he can’t.
I haven’t watched his latest video. I still haven’t even bothered to watch his response to me on the richie allen show. … Dang, I still haven’t even bothered to read his fictional ‘subversion report” I didn’t need to. Frankly I’m not interested in a word he says. His words ring hollow to me, it’s like listening to traffic noise. But by the title I’d say he is about to do another fund raiser, most likely aimed at the ‘anti jewish Christian’ market this time, I guess he has pretty well used up most of the other avenues – bar those truthers that still believe in his rhetoric and there is a lot of money to be made from concerned Christians. And no one will remember how he repeatedly said he was going to retire if his last ‘mission’ failed – but of course he couldn’t retire, because it just didn’t turn out to be that one big money spinner he’s been looking for, and didn’t generate the funds he needed to do so when it was ‘subverted’. So he will most likely run another fund raiser, or do another ‘fuck the TSA tour’ to complete his ‘mission’. But of course just as it’s gaining traction again, the mission will be ‘infiltrated’ and ‘subverted’ by ‘agents’ because ken is just such a ‘huge threat’ to the establishment. Just you watch… Ken O’Keefe is a man who speaks truly beautifully, he can stir anyone’s heart profoundly, but underneath it all, he is just another self serving asshole who is likely half agent and half opportunist, but either way 100% self serving asshole. Others may disagree but that’s my personal view gained from my own personal experience.
Ken has misappropriated a lot of money under false pretenses, and he has done it many times before. On at least 6 occasions that I can find. He is completely blacklisted from ever entering Palestine again, especially Gaza. Friends in Gaza have informed me that around $300,000 went missing from one of his missions for “Gaza food” alone, and he was about to attempt that one big money spinner to end them all.
Ken made a huge mistake in thinking he could attempt to keep me silent by shifting blame to me in the world citizen matter when his team didn’t react the way he predicted and he was unable to pin the blame on them effectively. And so, even though it was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make, I called it, because I was the only one who could have. And I said my piece a year ago was prepared to leave it at that and walk away, but if he is going to start making public statements and challenging people in public the way he seems intent on doing. He will open up a can of worms he will never be able to close and it will all come out to haunt him because unfortunately he has done this type of thing many, many times before. He’s very good at it and he always has the same standard, and very effective M.O:
“I’m angry and I know you are all angry too, so I will say all the right stuff that you really like to hear, and if you give me lots of money I can be REALLY angry for you and you will feel like you are actually doing something with your anger” …. but ah shit, I’ve created such an outcry and become such a threat to the establishment that I have been ‘infiltrated’ by ‘zionists’, the ‘mission has been subverted’ and someone else just seems to have run off with the funds…. of course I had to spend some on living expenses along the way, but I have too much integrity to have even taken a wage for myself yet AT ALL, I’m simply living on air while I put my life on the line for humanity. And if you question my integrity in any way then you are simply another brainwashed zionist demon possessed pedofile asshole who people shouldn’t listen to and is not worth my time responding to…”
That’s Ken…same old story… at least six, maybe 7 times now, maybe even more, and always stuff that pulls on people’s heart strings, Sea Turtles, Palestine, Gaza, The Samouni Family and more… the latest being “World Freedom” – like he can actually achieve such a thing…. and always the same MO… always the fund raiser, always his life on the line, always ‘subverted’ – but don’t listen to my ‘detractors’, they are all ‘infiltrators’ and zionist pedophiles who want to bring me down because I’m the people’s hero endangering myself and dodging arrest out here on the front line risking my life for YOU… so send more money (but don’t expect me to tell you what I’m doing with it because its all just too important, and if you push the money issue at all, you are a brainwashed zionist demon possessed pedofile asshole who people shouldn’t listen to and is not worth my time responding to). same ol’ , same ol’ like a broken gramophone record …. and many disillusioned people, discarded friends and loyal supporters along the way … Ken will likely end up upsetting so many people, and backing himself into a corner that his only way out will be to fake his own death. And even that would not surprise me.
I honestly cannot even be bothered listening to a word he says, they are always beautiful and right on the money, but from my experience, they are completely and utterly hollow.
In 2017 Ken O’Keefe is just a bad mistake I once made in trusting someone I shouldn’t have, and I have moved on. That is the bottom line.” Max Igan
