As I reported earlier today in an article about misconduct by 5W, a comment left here on Essential Estrogen originated from the same IP address as the one documented by FailedMessiah.com to belong to a home computer of one of the 5W Public Relations senior vice presidents. 5W is a New York-based public relations firm that was hired by Agriprocessors and the Rubashkin family.
In the case of the comment left on this blog, the member of 5W management (Juda Engelmayer) posted fraudulently in the name of a grassroots Jewish organization, Uri L'Tzedek.

The IP address, 207.172.105.37, is located on the bottom right. In addition to logging the IP address, the blog backend also sends me an email notice when a new comment is posted:
When asked about such incidents, 5W CEO Ron Torossian responded with an email that said, in part: "This battle is not about blogging." Damn skippy. Most of the bloggers I know have the intelligence to realize they can be tracked by their IPs.
For the $25,000 per month that Agriprocessors has been rumored to have paid 5W to deal with negative publicity, you'd think that they would have gotten a little less ignorance and a lot more transparency. In the end, perhaps the money would have been better spent on increased wages and new plant equipment.

This is such a fantastic blog! I have enjoyed reading all of your posts. I have been doing a study for school over the last few months about families, what they do, etc. Everything from the type of clothing jewelry and electronics they buy to where they eat and vacation. I was reading books and using the resources I have at school, but the most incredible information I have found is searching through blogs! Thank you for sharing your great information!
