NAFPS- Racial Profiling and Identity Theft
False Impersonation
Harasement
Stalking

New Age Frauds and Plastic Shamans (NAFPS) customer support contacts
Five different spam posts by the same deranged racist, John Martin of California. Martin was
kicked off of Indianz.com for racist rants and death threats. He spent years stalking anyone who dared disagree with his racism.

NAFPS is made up of over 2000 members Native, white, black, Latino, Maori, traditionalist, Christian, pagan, atheist, Muslim, etc. We have members from an amazing variety of tribal backgrounds, Anishinaabe, Apache, Cherokee, Choctaw, Lakota, Lenni Lenape, Menominee, Munsee, Navajo, O'odham, and many others.

Groups and individuals that NAFPS Has Worked With, Including Those That Are Members of NAFPS and Other Activist Groups

New age fraud & Plastic Shamans has been tracked by us since April 2011

It has a rating of half a star out of 5

It has a Google rating of 3 out of 10

It has a 50% negative rating from WOT

New Age Frauds has bad results in terms of topical citation and is poorly "socialized" in respect to any social network.

Nuagefrauds are an online group of trolls that fire at anyone they fancy without ever making proper investigations. At times they may get it right ... I mean if you fire enough rounds and spray the shots in all directions you are bound to hit the target at some point but at the end of the day there is a lot of colateral damage. Maybe that is the kind of thing AL Carrol learnt in the US military? I know for a fact of various cases of people being attacked by that forum and having problems as a result and on NAFPS they published information, names, addresses, emails etc of such people without any form of legal proof of them being guilty of the kind of things they were accused of online. In my opinion this site is part of a bigger agenda. The article published on the following link explains more.

Al Carrol and NAFPS are trolls with an agenda... One asks how they find soooo much time to be on the internet doing what they do.. Who pays them? I wonder who pays them... I mean Mr Carrol eis a US army vet and now embedded within the US educational establishment... the Community College NOVA where he is assisant professor was given the thumbs up by Obama and that is supposed to convince us they are OK... hahaha Obama is just a puppet and all the US establishment does is look to divide and conquer.. so Al Carrol is just a minion for bigger agendas, covert operations and scams designed to divide and confuse the population, in this case the Native American community.

I have my own convictions in this case... check this blog to see more (as I don-t want to fill this comment with a long dirge)

They are calling themselves a non profit organization now? A legitimate non profit organization is registered, has a circle with R or C beside the name with a full address and phone number, fax and proper e-mail address.

NAFPS has none of that.

A legitimate non profit organization does not name call, does proper research, does not intrude and disclose private information, does not put others in a false light, and it certainly does not hack into computers or mess with emails. There is nothing legitimate about this website.

What group trying to "defend the sacred" lies continually, puts up fake lists, crawls into bed with a pharma backed group in Germany and their seedy associates and uses a hacking server off the coast of Somalia? I know and you know. Unfortunately, other people out there have no clue.

Make that Nov. 7, 2019 with the edit job. If they think they stopped me from writing historical articles for free at a free local community newspaper that I volunteer for or that any money was ever made by writing these articles or that there were ever any victims involved not only are they pathological but delusional as well. I know who to consult with locally when it comes to native issues. I am not the one who is waving my native DNA or distant ancestors around on the net like it means something. I am not the one who did poor research on the subject. I am not the one calling people names. I'm not the one involved with a pharma backed group in Germany who laughs at even acupuncture when it is the oldest form of Traditional Chinese medicine. I'm not the one with a hacking server. Those two are right about one thing. Natives do know better. Too bad neither of them qualify.

No, it’s a warning to keep your mouth shut. Here is how it works. If you shut up and go away they will leave you alone with just the bs fraud label on the net. If you speak out they will call you every name in the book, make up more stuff and add another visible post about you on the net. If you shut up and go away they remove the post on the net. If you speak out again the post goes back up and more posts appear and then they move to other tactics to get you to shut up or to discredit you. These are two of them first the edit job and then the casual name drop in another thread. The person with their trigger finger on the edit, delete, block, ban and internet button is the global moderator who also spreads bs gossip about you to discredit you further and they will just keep it up until you shut up and go away and if you don’t they will turn to other measures and add more silly bs info about you. I can just picture it now...”Cate Crow, that sinister racist misogynist wacko Nazi poser retired history teacher who dislikes her own native family dared to write about New Age Essiac and Chaga tea when they are both over a century old giving credit where it was due! 😱 She sold it at a lemonade stand on the corner of her street for 5 cents a cup with oatmeal and raisin cookies 🍪 and is now writing ✍️ about Dandelion and Milk Thistle tea ☕️ and stating why it is good for your liver! 😱 The public must be warned! She must be stopped 🛑 FBI most wanted poster to follow”...

I don't trust him or her as far as I can throw them. He just set up a "fake coronavirus treatments" thread after I said what I did on the complaint board and mentioned the teas in it. Those teas are not going to do squat for the coronavirus and were meant as a FU. They are probably going to scour my Facebook page now and look for any herbal remedy I wrote about to friends that I am personally going to take if I get this since nothing will work except time and a ventilator and say I am "selling" them to the public. I'm just putting this out there in case that is where he's headed. ..and now I am going to ignore them.
