Recently Ellen wrote about Johnny
Dollar.  Today it’s my turn.  Mark Koldys, the psychopath* behind the
Johnny Dollar brand, has published a very long post by GrayHammy that accuses
me of: 1). Writing under a nom de plume; 2). Being a man; 3). Being a man named
Headly Westerfield; 4). Being an elitist; and 5). Being the puppetmaster of
anyone who tweets at him.  1). Duh!; 2). Yes;
3). Yes; 4). WTF?, 5). Double WTF?  However,
why is Johnny Dollar dangerous?  Under
the guise of his rubric of “CABLE NEWS TRUTH” he published GrayHammy’s long character
assassination on his website, which exposed my alternative lifestyle.  Reprehensible.  Disgusting. 
Beyond the pale.  And, we must
ask: Why was this done?  Simply because I
write for NewsHounds.  If it’s something
that could potentially hurt NewsHounds, then why not destroy Headly Westerfield
personally by all means necessary?  I’m
merely the collateral damage in the years long war J$ has dishonestly fought
against NewsHounds.  There was no other
reason to expose things about me that have no relevance to my writing for
NewHounds and there is nothing in that article that has any relevance to
NewsHounds.  Johnny Dollar has proven
himself to be a very dangerous person. 

The long post (which I won’t link
to, but is there for all to see unless it has been changed or deleted. Screen
caps all ‘round if needed) was written by GrayHammy, one of the sycophantic
asslickers that hang out in Johnny Dollar’s sewer.  GrayHammy—who it must be said is hiding
behind his own secret identity—sends dozens
upon dozens of tweets to me and Alex ON A DAILY BASIS.  Here’s a link to the profile so you can see
for yourself just one crazy, obsessive, cyber, stalking bully from the Johnny
Dollar cult at work.  Now GrayHammy is
only one of several that will pop over from the J$ sewer and shit all over our
timelines, but he is the most persistent. 
In fact, in his post he admits joining Twitter only to harass us with
questions.  Why?  Because we write for NewsHounds and he’s in
the Johnny Dollar cult of personal destruction. 
Is another reason needed?  I
collectively call them #MarkieKandtheSycophantFive and there are times that all
of them are hitting all of us NewsHounds at once with tweets.  Yet, get this: In his post that demonstrates
his obsessive stalking behaviour even better than his hundreds and hundreds and
hundreds of tweets, GrayHammy denies being an obsessed stalker.  Ironic, no? 
I’m the only NewsHounder that hasn’t blocked those Dollarites due to
their creepy stalking-like behaviour.  In
his post GrayHammy gives me credit for that. 
Ironic, no? 
#MarkieKandtheSycophantFive are hilarious most of the time, and I have
some good fun yanking their chains; there are entire Spotify playlists
dedicated to them.  But there are times all
I wanna do is tweet with friends.  Just
ignoring #MarkieKandtheSycophantFive can be exhausting at times.  

Lest we lose sight of the primary
mission: all this obsessive behaviour from the Johnny Dollar Cult is because they
are defending Fox “News” against us terrible NewsHounds.  Therefore, in order to defend Fox “News,” GreyHammy
put on his cyber-camo to creep and crawl around the innertubes to find shit I
forgot was even out there.  It’s true
what they say; it never goes away.  This
was obviously a long project on the part of GreyHammy.  Look at all the meticulous research.  Read how he lays out all the clues—one after
another—like it’s the final scene in a Perry Mason novel.  I’m a writer. 
I know how much research and writing and editing went in to get this
just right.  Then I read his P.S., his final
AHA! moment when GrayHammy levels a new charge at me, one I’d never heard
before in my entire life: I am a draft dodger who high-tailed it to Canada
when the going got tough in the Vietnam war. 
Of all the spurious smears Johnny Dollar and his crew of dead-enders
have tried to slap on me, that’s the only one I will address.  However, ask yourself: Why would GrayHammy even
go there?  Politics and NewsHounds again.  Today I tweeted out a NewsHounds post that
exposed Ted Nugent as a self-admitted draft dodger.  This can’t stand.  My reputation must be destroyed in order to
defend Fox “News’” and Sean Hannity’s favourite son, Ted Nugent. 

Anyway, here’s the truth in a
nutshell: When I was 17 years old I made the same mistake a young Levi Johnston
made and I got a girl pregnant.  She was
Canadian.  I moved to Canada to marry
the mother of my child.  End of story,
except that I duly registered at my ‘local’ draft board at the United States
Consulate on University Avenue
in Toronto and was
100% copasetic with my draft board.  YAWN.

While GrayHammy did the legwork, he
wasn’t the one who published this screed of personal destruction—this character
assassination that has no NewsHound content. 
Mark Koldys published it because he’s all about CABLE NEWS TRUTH, doncha
know?  For reasons that only a psychopath
might understand, Mark Koldys decided that this post of GrayHammy’s qualified
as “CABLE NEWS TRUTH,” so he published it. 
In doing so, Johnny Dollar has proven himself to be a very dangerous
person.  I am left to answer any
questions that family and friends may have. 
There’s a group who argue politics on the patio of the local coffee shop
who all know I write as Aunty Em.  I
suppose I’ll have some explaining to do there, too.  Meanwhile, Mark Koldys/Johnny Dollar and his
evil sycophants cackle in his comment thread how they got NewsHounds good by
taking Aunty Em down.  But here’s the
thing: This was exactly the reason I used a pen name.  I was fearful of writing about ‘Merkin politics
and being stalked by crazies.  Johnny
Dollar has proven himself to be a very dangerous person by exposing both my
identity and my lifestyle. 

Here’s something else about Johnny
Dollar’s sewer that I find interesting. 
He only ever publishes linked headlines, unless it’s about
NewsHounds.  Then he will do long posts
that twist our words and spit them out in a way that make them resemble a fun
house mirror.  His only reason to exist
appears to be to tear down NewsHounds and he’s been at it a very long time
now.  Ellen says he must be paid to be so
devoted.  I think he’s just plain mean
and crazy.  Yesterday, when he learned I
was travelling to Michigan
where he resides, he suggested we meet for “détente.”  Today he exposes me, leaving me without even
a fig leaf of cover.  That’s clearly
psychotic behaviour.  Johnny Dollar has
proven himself to be a very dangerous person. 
If he has paymasters, I hope they are proud of the Frankenstein monster
they created.  Maybe he’ll get a bonus
for this one. 

On a more personal note, as if this
hasn’t been gut-wrenching enough: I sincerely apologize to all NewsHounds past
and present and a special apology to Ellen Brodsky for any disgrace my private
life may have brought upon NH.  I am here
because I have always believed in the mission. 
Just before I moved back to ‘Merka after 35 sane years in Canada, I decided
to write about what I had seen happened to the land of my birth from media
distance that eluded most in this country. 
When my mother’s illness forced me to move back I started looking for a
nom de plume because I knew the opposition have guns and are bat shit
crazy.  I kept rejecting the name Aunty
Em Ericann, but it kept making me laugh in a way that Phil Harmonic, Phyllis
Stein, and Ben Dover didn’t.  I
eventually gave in to the inevitable.  But
here’s some more truth about me.  I am
not anti ALL ‘Merkins.  Hell, some
of my best friends and family are ‘Merkins. 
I’m just anti-some ‘Merkins, like those who would actually cheer on this
act of personal cruelty perpetrated by Johnny Dollar, aka Mark Koldys, aka the
lead singer of #MarkieKandtheSycophantFive. 
Considering what I have been through in the last 12 hours, I think the
nom de plume was well-chosen. 

With all my love,

Headly Westerfield
