The Hales crew and Alinsky's mockery tactics

Saul Alinsky's rule number five encouraged the use of mockery in part because there's no response, but was he right?

The whole thing started innocently.

The Set-Up

On Wednesday June 4, 2025, Bruce Matzkin sent the Florida bar an email and included several journalists- me, Megan Fox, and others- in the email.

Randall Shochet was admitted to the Florida Bar on January 24, 2005. As detailed in the attached court decision, in 1997 he was rejected for admission to the Arkansas Bar, which was upheld by the Arkansas Supreme Court.

Is it possible that Florida Bar admission standards were so lenient during your tenure as President as to grant admission to someone who'd (A) done the things Mr. Shochet did as a dentist (as detailed in the attached decision), and (B) additionally lied about it in a failed attempt to gain admission to the Arkansas Bar?

Or, did Mr. Shochet lie on his Florida Bar application, and this time got away with it?

Copied are journalists covering cases involving Mr. Shochet. The issue of Shochet's admission to the Florida Bar is a major topic in light of his clear lack of qualifications and his recent conduct as counsel in various lawsuits for one single client.

Bruce Matzkin, until recently, represented John Cook and Michelle Preston, who are neighbors and targets of a conjured-up storyline, along with multiple frivolous lawsuits, by popular YouTuber Jeremy Hales, which create the false impression that they are bad neighbors.

Randall Shochet, the attorney representing Hales in these frivolous lawsuits, had lost his dentist’s license for committing fraud and perjury. He was then rejected from the Arkansas bar, with the Arkansas bar finding he, “failed to establish good moral character” because of this fraud and perjury. Part of the decision is below.

Given that set of circumstances, how could he have been admitted to the Florida bar in 1999? Matzkin asked the bar for an explanation, hoping the presence of journalists would put added pressure for an answer.

Megan Fox hates the first amendment

Megan Fox is my former friend who is now the head propagandist for Jeremy Hales, reveling in his anti-Semitism, ignoring his spousal and child abuse, while cheering on his blatantly anti-first amendment lawsuits.

Megan Fox and I from 2021

She was none too happy to receive this email because then she’d come face to face with her lack of ethics.

Megan used to be a first amendment absolutist, telling a radio interview, “Our first amendment rights are huge. They are very important to me. They should be important to everyone.”

Now, the first amendment is both a convenience and a nuisance depending on who is using it.

In this case, because Bruce Matzkin- the villain and the story she and Jeremy Hales had conjured up- was exercising his first amendment right, Megan found it to be a nuisance and threatened to call the cops if he continued using it.

Mr. Matzkin,

I have already informed you that sending me emails unsolicited is harassment and I want it to stop. Any further communication from you will be turned over to law enforcement. Stop contacting me for any reason

The former first amendment absolutist now believes she can go to YouTube to mock Matzkin as many as three times per week, but if he sends her an email, he’s committing a crime.

The epic email

“You’re pathetic,” I emailed her later.

Rich Luthmann followed that up with an epic email sent to Megan and others. Part of it is below.

Lisa went over the email with Rich last night on Two Lee’s in a Pod, cued up.

Note: the email doubled as a spoliation request which portends another still unfiled lawsuit.

Jason Hipsher channels Alinsky

Thus far, only Jason Hipsher, another astroturfing Hales propagandist, has responded.

Good morning Dick Lickman,

Thank you so much for your wonderful email. It has been a while so I thought I would respond because I have missed you so much. How surprised I was to see you took time out of your day to email little lonely me, well of course and the rest of the universe. Maybe this is a continuation of our current friendship, and we may even end up pen pals in the future. Now you should know I have a pear head with a walnut sized brain with a horse face who is disgusting to look at. With all of these disadvantages in life I could not read the entire thing, it is too much for me to grasp. Maybe you could send me quicker summaries so I don't lose my train of thought. Also you might use smaller words for me because this had a lot of big words in it. You seem a little salty right now. Is this because you were not made a muppet as well? Well I hope it is going well and congrats on the career as a... Oh yeah journalist, I forgot. How silly of me to have forgotten your hard hitting pieces. Well I do have to go now but it was nice to hear from you again. Thanks a lot good buddy.

The response was typical of Hipsher, mocking and condescending.

Hales and his crew traffic in mockery, but why?

That got me thinking about the 1960s radical, Saul Alinsky.
