Another testament of doubt

Tomas Martinez, from Florida USA, has joined the forces of the many who have come to question and doubt the claims made by Mr Hallman. Martinez met Hallman back in 2006 and well needless to say he was not impressed. No one who meets him is.

In a recent post on For-UA Martinez raised the same concerns that many have done so before him.  He joins a list which includes ProHuman, Free Speech, Green Tea, Klappa and a host of others.  All have noticed that Hallman's claims just do not scrub up.

Tom, you and Gene aren't here in Ukraine. You rarely even visit. You barely know what you're talking about most of the time. Neither of you have any real commitments to, or investment in, Ukraine.

Because you live in Ukraine makes you more of an authority on Ukraine?
...
Tell us about your (Hallman's) accomplishments in Ukraine with children that's been documented in the media showing that you were involved. We don't want to hear about it, we want to see documented facts.

I've known you since 2003, and have never ever questioned your authority on children. But at the same time, I've never seen any solid facts of your work with them. I know many others in this forum have thought of the same, but were afraid to question you.

The only one that called you out was Klappa. (Not true many others before him were not so blind as to see the facts which speak for them self - ed.) Seeming you say I know absolutely nothing about Ukraine, and shouldn't be involved in Ukraine, then show us about what you so much talk about. I'm not going to be another Klappa and hound you about this, because half the crap you talk about I don't believe. We've met personally and recall how paranoid you were around people you didn't know, and so did others. But don't' worry or get paranoid about me because what you have to offer to this forum like myself in this any other forum is limited because we're not Ukrainians. You're absolutely correct.
...
I'm not going to bother debating with you. I gave up the hippie days long time ago. I don't even know why I'm wasting my time on you reply.
...
It's time to get out of your padded room. I won't reply.

You didn't know me then. We first crossed paths, here, in '06. Just to keep facts straight.

Regarding what I do for children, let me put it this way. If you needed to know, you'd know. Please try and understand that you're not in a need-to-know position.  

(Exactly what do you do to children Mr Hallman. What orphanages do you have a close relationship with?   And how is it that not one of your claims of success or business in Ukraine can be independently verified?  When asked to provide references you attack them and refuse to answer what is a valid and reasonable request -ed)

It would appear that no one is in a need to know situration when it comes to Hallman.

Due diligence is advised in any dealings with him.

Update: Wikipedia removes Mowatt's self-promotion publication citing it as not notable.

Wikipedia having undertaken a review of Jeff Mowatt's self-promotion of  his virtual Internet business has removed posts submitted by Mr Mowatt trying to write his company -P-CED into the record books.

Jeff Mowatt had previously published on Wikipedia self-sourced commentary/promotion of his company.

Wikipedia like many others reviewed the sources of the claims being made and came to the same conclusion as others that the content could not be verified and did not meet Wikipedia's criteria of being notable

Jeff Mowatt and his partner Terry Hallman have been pumping then internet and then claiming that the publications are testament to their success.   Thankfully in this case Jeff Mowatt and Terry Hallman have once again been caught out. Due Diligence is advised.

I have a plan

The arrogance of delusion

Suggesting a plan and making a plan are entirely different things. He has no plan, nor does anyone else in government have a plan, nor do any of them know how to make a plan.
- Terry Hallman in commenting on "Yushchenko unveils new economic proposals"

Arrogance or narcissism?

It seams that Terry Hallman, an illegal alien living in Kharkiv Ukraine, has the audacity to criticize Ukraine's President - a former head of the National Bank of Ukraine - for his inability to develop an economic plan.

And this coming from someone who holds no economic qualifications other then being someone who was banded from entering the UK for being an economic migrant.

for all we know, the methodology of the poll was to question a thousand people at gunpoint.

On SOCIS he made the following unsubstanciated comment

The polls themselves are not what might be considered methodologically sound. My interpretation: they're starting to look outright fraudulent. Who is Socis? Who pays them? If Hrytsenko or Lutsenko actually have 20%+ support, how would that information emerge?

Etc.

Is it possible to analyze the pollsters? Is their methodology published? Is the methodology based on stratified random sampling? What are the questions asked? How are they asked? (i.e., neutral or threatening tone of voice by the pollster?) Are any statements made by the pollster in addition to the questions? (for example., statements that would sound threatening?) Is there push polling? (for example, would you vote for this candidate if you know that s/he is a pedophile?)

Moreover, the elephant in the room is that if fabricated and/or dodgy polls are bought and sold, election results are actually rigged in advance by the polls themselves.

Terry Hallman - Economic Migrant banned from entering the UK

Terry Hallman has been banned from entering two countries. He first visited Russia in 1998 on a wife hunting expedition (he is still looking). He was later told to leave Russia and has been denied entry every since.

In 2002 he met up with his business associate and partner Jeff Mowatt who invited Terry Hallman to visit the UK. On trying to re-enter the UK after a fling in the Prague both Terry Hallman and Jeff Mowatt were arrested and detained in Calais with Terry Hallman a US Citizen being declared an economic migrant and denied entry into the UK.

Terry Hallman has since been hiding out in Ukraine. Terry has been "working" in Ukraine without a visa or permission to work in Ukraine. His latest "Business" visa was issued in Moldova where he had presented documents by his own "company" inviting himself to visit Ukraine. (Something that is expressly forbidden under Ukraine immigration guidelines). Ukraine has since tightened up on its visa requirements and Terry Hallman would soon have to leave Ukraine at which time if he reenters Ukraine again his documentation will be checked for conformity with Ukraine's immigration laws.

Jeff Mowatt wrote on his blog the following

I'd invited Terry to the UK where we begun developing a new strategy paper. We visited Prague with a view to setting up an operation there. On return with several weeks left on his leave to enter and me a UK subject we we detained by immigration at Calais who had concluded that Terry was an economic migrant and no longer welcome. We were both removed from immigation (sic) in the back of a French police van, held in a cell while papers were checked and released, for me to find a taxi and ferry home.

Terry Hallman's abuse escapes moderation

Terry Hallman's recent tirade of abuse is true to form. His attack on Jacob Smith and the publication of Jacob Smith's private personal details demonstrates Mr Hallman's unprofessional character.

It was similar attacks against those that dare raise criticism of Mr Hallman that lead to the creation of this Internet log on Mr Hallman himself. The more we looked into Mr Hallman's past the more questions and doubts were raised.

Mr Hallman is a self proclaimed "Civil Rights" activist who is illegally operating in Ukraine. His company "People Centered Economic Development" (PCED) consists of Mr Hallman, A computer and an Internet connection and a $300 a month flat in Kharkov Ukraine. He is funded by his associate and business partner Jeff Mowatt from the UK.

Terry Hallman is quick to attack his detractors and critics by falsely accusing them of working against the needs and interests of Ukraine's disadvantage.

The more we delved into Mr Hallman's activities the more unsubstantiated claims we discovered. Mr Hallman has claimed that he is actively involved in economic development and work with Ukrainian Orphanages.

In spite Mr Hallman and Mr Mowatt's claims to be working with Ukrainian Orphanages they have failed to provide the names of orphanages or any independent referees who can substantiate his involvement. in fact in all cases where he has claimed to be involved the only references we found were comments initiated or published on the Internet by Mr Hallman himself. A lone operator working outside the system and the laws of Ukraine.

Mr Hallman has claimed he is a close associate of US President Bill Clinton and he was a pioneer of micro financing economics even though there is no other recognition of this statement other then what Mr Hallman and his associates have published (Jeff Mowatt even going so far as writing himself in to the history books by publishing unsubstantiated self promotional reports on Wikipedia - something that is prohibited by the terms of the Wikipedia foundation.


Mr Hallman's ongoing abuse of his critics has extended to a campaign of further abuse and attacks against free speech and Ukraine's English language media. (Mr Hallman has been living in Ukraine since 2002 and still can not speak Ukrainian) Mr Hallman, who is a US citizen and not Ukrainian, is actively involved in political pursuits in Ukraine. He is a English editor of Maidian Web site, the voice of Pora Ukraine's political youth party. His abusive attacks, backed up by his associates, have brought For-ua.com into disrepute, caused the closure of Pravda English web, compromised Wikipedia and now he and his partner are engaged in a smear campaign and attack on KyivPost. Mr Hallman displays the symptoms of a severe case of narcissism and other psychological problems associated with substance abuse and an overinflated sence of self impotantance.

The publication of Jacob Smith and others private contact details and address is a direct attempt of intimidation and abuse.

Mr Hallman's recent attack on Jacob Smith is promoted by lies and further false claims of victimisation.

Jacob Smith's pleas for fair and just moderation of the http://en.for-ua.com/forum web Mr Hallman's playground has fallen on selective death ears.

Mr Hallman's attack on Jacob Smith was unprovoked and uncalled for.

Peter Crosby, the moderator of the for-ua.com/forum web site, has shown a consistent bias in his moderation. He has never once held Mr Hallman or Mr Mowatt to account for their abuse of other participants. Mr Hallman and Mr Mowatt, it would appear, has absolute immunity where as others who do not share the same political point of view of the online forum moderators have been subjected to ongoing abuse and harassment in an attempt to prevent their participation in the public debate.

When they failed to silence their critics they were banned by the moderators who have been very selective in who they impose a censorship ban and who they permit to stay. All claim to be advocates of a fee media and free speech.
