My former employee Anthime Gionet conned me and others, and has now gone rogue, lying about his involvement in a grass roots organization I founded. Anthime Gionet lies about everything, in fact, even his own name – even though his real name is known and can be found online. His stage name is “Baked Alaska,” but he tells people his real name is Tim Treadstone. What else has Tim lied about?
A brief note about me, trolling, and Nazis.
I am pro-trolling and pro-boundary pushing. However I’ve always been clear that if you actually hate people, then you’re not welcome around me. That’s not my bag. A toxic mindset is not only self-destructive, but it also poisons those around you.
No groups are off limits from criticism – this includes whites, blacks, Asians, gays, Jews, men, and everyone else. No subjects are off limits. Goofing around, even in an edgy or controversial way, isn’t the same as goose stepping.
Thus I have a lot of tolerance for goofing off online and don’t take much seriously. I don’t freak out or get triggered. But we all have lines, and Tim crossed them.
Anthime Gionet lied about creating MAGA3X, a get-out-the-vote drive envisioned by me.
Anthime claims he created MAGA3X. Simply run a search on Twitter for the hashtag for the truth.
On September 25th, I announced #MAGA3X was coming.
Coming Soon.

On September 29th, I hired Anthime and sent him the below email. His salary was $5,000 a month.
On October 10, Anthime made his first post to the #MAGA3X hashtag.

Anthime will lie about the most basic of facts. He lies about creating a project he clearly did not create. He lies about his name. He is now lying about the Deploraball.
The Deploraball was a MAGA3X event to reward volunteers. It was a party.
The Deploraball was a joint effort envisioned by several people, including Anthime, during a conference call.
There was a massive amount of confusion with the event, as one person who worked with MAGA3X wanted to hold a formal ball, charging $300 a ticket.
We wanted a populist party. Charging everyone $300 didn’t work with that vibe. We wanted everyone who could afford to attend to have a chance to attend.
We found a smaller venue. This venue allowed us to host 500 people for around $32,000. We sold tickets for $29.95, expecting to pick up the slack through sponsorships.
We were no-platformed from the venue after Hillary supporters began harassing the event.
Being no-platformed from a venue was always a huge concern. We thus looked to host the event elsewhere.
Mainstream venues care about “bad press,” even if I don’t. This was understood by all in a conference call. We were all on the same page.
The National Press Club agreed to host the Deploraball. The cost of this venue was $90,000.
Anthime wanted to hold a free party. You can’t simply show up en mass to an event. That’s not the world of adults.
Adults had to sign contracts and take on risk, which I was willing to do.
While I do not care about bad press, the National Press Club does. I explained to Tim that everyone had to be chill.
Tim then went on a Twitter tirade about “fags” and “Jews.” This was sometime over a week ago.
I dressed Tim down properly. Yes I was a “dick.” Whatever. When you’re on payroll and you’re screwing things up for everyone else, then you get a proper talking to. Welcome to having a job.
Tim said he wasn’t going to attend the Deploraball. I said good.
Tim tells me to “chill out, bro.” Perhaps some of you live sheltered lives. This is how men talk to you when you screw up.
I am a demanding boss and this is how I talk to people who are self-involved and can’t follow simple instructions. If you don’t like this, never ask to work with me.
Tim agrees to stop being a moron online.
A week later Tim decides to “wonder” why Jews should be gassed.
Tim has now broken his word and betrayed my trust. This means he’s out.
Tim proves my instincts right by posting a meme of me being being a back-stabbing Jew. Tim posted this to his public Instagram account.
Here is the “inspiration” for the above meme.
Everyone wondered what Tim did to get fired from MILO’s tour, which was the best opportunity anyone ever gave him. MILO won’t say. But Tim has a history of blowing up every personal and professional relationship in his life.
If people are angry or upset with me and want to side with this, good luck in life!
