He has left the USA due to violent attacks against him and his property[http://reopen911.org/images/windshieldattack.jpg] and public threats made against him and [[Eric Hufschmid]] by [[Penn and Teller]] on national TV[http://66.111.201.132/video/PennAndTeller_terrorism.mpeg]. Mr Walter commissioned a [[Zogby]] Poll which showed that 66% of New Yorkers wanted the 9/11 investigation reopened and that over 49% thought members of the administration knew about it ahead of time and let it happen[ http://www.reopen911.org/Zogby.htm]. He also developed the [[Walden three|Walden Three]], a model for cities and societies of the future. |

He has been disowned by the larger 9/11 truth movement. Where is this poll of the 9/11 movement to back up this vandalism! How was this verified? Jimmy Walter Jenna Orkin writes: If Walter is not working consciously to undermine the 9/11 truth movement, then he is the patsy of the disinformation campaign. [http://www.wtceo.org/911TenMillionDollarsandTwelveFootReptilesintheRoyalFamily_000.htm] How outrageous that Jenna, a person I have promoted and helped, A person's speech, image, and cause that I have put on 450,000 free DVD's and distributed worldwide, paid for over $100,000 worth of TV commercials for her primary cause, imply that I might be consciously trying to undermine the movement! Where are the facts to support that I am a patsy? The article linked to is full of libel and personal attacks More unsupported libel from self-righteous, self-appointed censors of the movement that think they have the right to tell the world what is right. It seems to me that she is a patsy for the disinformation agents like those below! Moreover, in the article referenced above, she has attacked me personally on the most trivial, exaggerated, and incorrect information, disparaging my disease and other problems which I have struggled to overcome! As for being disowned by the movement, [[David Ray Griffin]], [[Steven E. Jones]], [[Webster G. Tarpley]], Rachael Huges, [[Barry Zwicker]] and many, many more all respect me or they are lying to me! Jimmy Walter. Also, there are allegedly bogus 9/11 websites which supposedly distract from "real evidence" of complicity, including Mr. Walter's "reopen911" site [http://www.oilempire.us/bogus.html]. It is the oil empire has been disowned by most of the 9/11 movement. This guy refused to admit that explosives were used at the WTC along with Ruppert. Now that Professor Jones and others have exposed this fact, now that even Ruppert has had to admit he was wrong, anyone can see that it is Mark who is distracting from the real evidence! Jimmy Walter Jimmy Walter (reopen911.org) is also alleged to be "A sugar daddy with poison pills" [ http://www.questionsquestions.net/blog/041116walter.html]. "Sugar daddy"?! A sugar daddy is a person that pays a prostitute to be his full time lover, he thinks! I have no women (or men) that I am paying or keeping for sex! I am a philanthropist who has given away 90% of his wealth to the 9/11 movement and other charities! To call me a "sugar daddy" is outrageous! What malarkey! Poison pills? I have done more to make the movement known worldwide than any other person. We have had over 30,000,000 hits on our site, spreading the word worldwide. I have received tens of thousands of emails saying that I am a hero to many in Europe, South America, and the USA. I have made some mistakes, but who has not? The person who wrote the sugar dady libel, Salter, is spreading the absurdity that the soft nose of a plane will not crumble when it hits a wall, that it will go into a building like butter, while the billowing smoke from the alleged raging fire stands still behind it in his own stabilized video! Please see our site. and decide for yourself. All three of these comments are insulting and without factual basis. It is either their ego or that THEY are disinformation agents! It is also outrageous thatWikipedia would allow this libel which violates its own code on this page - "Content must not violate any copyright and must be verifiable." How was this verified?

Revision as of 03:27, 5 March 2006
This page is very difficult to read. To start with, there are two sections containing the exact same material (copy & paste error, perhaps?) as well as numerous grammatical and spelling mistakes. Isopropyl 00:19, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
The sections that were duplicated have since been removed. Now, the grammar needs to be cleaned up, and the formatting made clearer. As written, the article is somewhat confusing. Thanks! Isopropyl 03:18, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Please refrain from disrupting Wikipedia to make a point. See WP:POINT. Isopropyl 03:39, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
I have reverted Jimmywalter's massive diatribe that was inserted into the page on 3 March. Isopropyl 03:44, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Tidied
I've tried to tidy the page up a bit. SlimVirgin (talk) 08:59, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Protected
I semi-protected this article because Walter continues to add legal threats and personal commentary to it. Please read Wikipedia:No legal threats and Wikipedia:Autobiography. You are welcome to suggest improvements or factual corrections to this article, but further legal threats will just result in more blocks. Mr. Walter, you could have made constructive suggestions on this talk page, or sent an e-mail to Wikipedia's help desk. Instead of taking these first steps, you immediately started adding inappropriate personal commentary to the article, and issuing legal threats. Rhobite 19:21, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
