David Stuart Touretzky is employed by Carnegie Mellon University, Computer Science Department, where he spends substantial time on CMU computers making racial slurs, anti-feminist comments and in-citing hatred against religious organizations. Claiming to be an expert in computer sci-ence, he utilizes that expertise to locate and view websites containing child pornography.
In this publication, you will find some quotes culled from Touretzky’s Internet chat room writings. They reveal a man who hides behind and abuses CMU’s policy on academic freedom and free speech, and loudly proclaims his First Amendment rights to extol bigotry, hatred and unrestrained racism against African Americans, Hispan-ics, Chinese and other ethnic groups.
As you will see from the quotes beneath, David Touretzky is not a person who makes the occasional discriminatory remark out of ignorance. Quite the contrary, he spends several hours a day on a hate chat room engaged in a dedicated attack on religions and races while “at work”.
CMU President, Jared Cohon, recently made the following statement when faced with yet other examples of religious hatred emanating from CMU:
“It pains me that we have students here who would conceive of and publish such a thing, who could possibly believe something like this was funny or ironic.”
Yet, salaried CMU faculty member, Touretzky nevertheless remains unfettered by CMU administration to utilize normal work hours to create hate on the internet and visit child pornography websites.
Child Pornography and Other Pornography
The following statements made by David Touretzky in a chat room show that he has been visiting child porn websites while he was supposedly “working” on Federal Grants projects from Carnegie Mellon University.
“Tons of posts advertising porno: the headers look like “13 yr/old with teeny tits”, and so forth. It’s KIDDIE PORN spam, not regular porn.
“The images at the web site front door contain some naked kiddies, but they’re not engaged in sex acts and the ones showing genitalia are closer to 18.”
“Guess what I found on the web 2 nights ago? Anorexic porn!
“Well the nice thing about this site is that these anorexic women are happy with their looks which is more than can be said for a lot of people.
“But the women on that page are willing to take their clothes off, which gives them one up on ol’ Calista.
“The women on that page are too skinny even for me but Calista still makes me hot.
“Anyway, that anorexic porn site is a *pay* site. It’s $14.95/month for the really hardcore stuff.”
“[I] like the concept of amputee porn. Makes the women feel good about themselves.
“I do have this picture of a quadruple amputee with nice boobs. She’s looking straight at the camera, a smile on her face, calm, self-possessed. She’s doing fine.”
Racial Slurs
Here are just a few of the racial slurs stated on the Internet by David Touretzky.
“The black underclass is a very, very sick culture, with terrible internal problems such as high rates of black-on-black murder, teenage pregnancy, educational failure, drug abuse, and so on. AA programs can’t help the black underclass, because those people are so screwed up they’re virtually unem-ployable.”
“[California State Senator Diane Watson] is the former ambassador to Micronesia! and she’s black. I should have known. What [sic] are all the really st00000pid congresswomen black?”
“Man, Hispanics are f—ed up, which is why they’re still working class. Dipshits.”
About Women
Here is some advice to all women from Touretzky, originated from a CMU com-puter:
“I believe that since the physical risks of pregnancy are borne solely by the woman, and the decision to abort or continue a pregnancy is solely up to the woman, then the responsibility for contraception should also be solely the woman’s. Men who want to be nice guys can help out by wearing a condom or reminding their girlfriend to take her pill every day or whatever, but that is optional behavior. Since modern women don’t want to be viewed as frail little baby factories who have to be specially protected by a ruling patriarchy, but prefer to be treated as responsible adults, they should stand up and take their medicine like an adult. If they want sole control of their reproductive equipment, then they must accept sole responsibility for its use.”
Infanticide
Touretzky has espoused on the Internet a solution to all those annoying children that seem to get underfoot:
“I’m for post-partum abortion! Retro-active abortion! Up until, say, the age of six months.”
Bomb Making Instructions for Budding Terrorists
In 2002, the U.S. government shut down an anarchist website because it contained detailed instructions for making bombs. In 2003, the site’s owner, a California teenager was convicted for using his site to distribute bomb-making instructions.
Before the site was removed, however, David Touretzky copied and re-posted a complete copy of the site and all of the bomb-making instructions on Carnegie Mellon University’s computer system. He claimed that the government’s suppression of these instructions permitting terrorists to make bombs violates free speech.
In 2004, after the Citizens for Government Waste published an article exposing Touretzky’s bomb making instructions, he moved the site to a private host, but it is still linked from Touretzky’s Carnegie Mellon University page under the heading “What the FBI doesn’t want you to see.” The “you” in that statement is obviously underprivileged terrorists who without Touretzky’s aid would be unable to manufacture devices to kill civilians.
The following statement is from his site following the step-by-step directions for making a “draino bomb,” including helpful advice from educator Touretzky to the neophyte terrorist:
“…Take this mixture to a cop car and drop it in the gas tank. Run like hell. In about ten minutes the car will explode like in the movies. However, if you are at a demonstration, there are always people around. It is not safe to assume that your comrades or innocent bystanders won’t be near the car. You don’t want to hurt anyone that you don’t intend to hurt. Be f—ing careful!”
Touretzky also posted exact step-by-step instructions for making a fertilizer bomb, the same kind of bomb used by Timothy McVeigh to blow up the Oklahoma City Federal Building. A “brilliant” CMU researcher must know (but not care) that McVeigh used the same bomb instructions.
It is ironic that Touretzky’s website is sponsored by Carnegie Mellon University. In 2002, CMU received a $35 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to research ways and means to reduce the threat of cyber-terrorism. It should have saved some of the money and pulled the plug on the computer given to Touretzky.
Why is he here?
Touretzky brings “research” grants to Carnegie Mellon University. As he stated:
“My money comes mostly from the US govt,not corporations. So if we raise taxes andhike the NSF and NIH and DARPA budgets,that would be to my benefit. I’m sure theuniversity gets corporate contributions, butthey don’t share that money with me….
“…I’m already overpaid.”
*NSF = National Science Foundation *NIH = National Institute of Health *DARPA = Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
Religion Freedom Watch investigates and exposes individu-als who breed racism and anti-religious intolerance through hate speech.
My first contact with Mr. Touretzky was years ago. I happened upon one of his hate-pages completely by accident during research. I wrote him the kindest note imaginable, suggesting he had no first-hand experience on that topic.
I pointed out that he was harming well-intentioned, hard-working people.
I reminded him that science deals in repeatability and first-hand observation–both of which he had completely ignored in publishing his poisonous pages.
Next thing I know, I received from him a crazed email full of even more hate and attacking my intelligence for knowing and stating first-hand facts that differed from his tightly held opinions.
I was truly hurt and disappointed that there was no true scientist at work there. That interchange actually taught me a valuable lesson: Intelligence is no measure of sanity.
Put another way, “Insanity and fixed ideas about a topic decrease functional intelligence on that topic.”
