MOD NOTE: While this video is otherwise awesome as it uncovers TradCatKnight's mask with countless proof that his apostolate is not 1/10000th as large as he claims -- proving that he purchases views/members/comments/followers/likes and more -- the usefulness ends at 35 minutes, after which the video is nothing more than an advertisement for MHFM.
Most_Holy_Family_Monastery is a schismatic cult that condemns pretty much EVERYONE that isn't themselves. They actually say everyone else is non-Catholic. I guess that's how they deal with "competition". At any rate, they are highly dangerous for this reason. Schism is a sin too!
Nevertheless, I highly recommend this video, even though it was made by an MHFM cult member. They were obviously motivated to smash one of their "competition" -- but I am motivated to get the truth out about this fraud Eric GaJєωski! People need to know what he's doing with those donations.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/embed/O8jBiwy7gB0[/youtube]
His level of deception and fraud is far worse than people imagined. He pays for fake comments and much, much more.
Here's the YouTube link:

Yes, he buys viewers and comments. I don't think it's a good idea to buy people to comment on website because just take a look at the comments he gets there by fake profiles "oh, awesome, thanks" -- "look good" , "very nice" and others are written in Asian language. Tt makes your website look amateur and not "the most visited traditional catholic website" as he claims. Plus to claim that he has the "most visited catholic blog/website" he shouldn't buy people or robots to increase page views. So he should remove that affirmation because it's false.
In his view it's a good business strategy. Whatever. I don't think he really thinks himself as "The" Great Catholic Monarch" but someone may say it's getting very close to that and I'd agree that is very close to that. Eric is right when he says USA must convert but that's it. To be fair there are some good videos on his youtube channel. Nothing more, nothing less.
I don't think it's either Peter or Michael Dimond voice on the video.. someone who watches that video may think this video comes from them and I can't see any link about Eric GaJєωski on MHFM.
Eric GaJєωski claims:
"TradCatKnight- MOST VIEWED & FOLLOWED Traditional Catholic APOSTOLATE on the Internet"
That's a very bad way to deceive people. It's quite interesting that a Catholic thinks that it's ok because "it's a business strategy".

:cheers:
Hats off to whoever exposed this guy. :detective:

Wow, this is the best youtube video I have seen in a while, and I haven't even finished watching yet. It is cool how the man who made the video talks about TradCatKnights posts on Cathinfo. Also, I noticed that the man doing the video is not one of the Dimond brothers. I guess it is one of the other brothers at the monastery. Now I have to go back to watch the rest of the video.
-
Looks like MHFM isn't above borrowing some of our research here! CathInfo caught some eyes. The only new info was all the in depth detail about his purchasing followers. That first 30 minutes was pretty shocking about the lengths he goes to procure these "eagles". Minutes 31-35 were mainly a review of the quotes I posted in the Great Monarch Madness thread. The pic of the dead eagle was priceless, I'll give em that!
I'm not a fan of MHFM, but feeding time is feeding time. I wonder how long it will take for Eric to have that classic Looney Tunes "look down" moment?

This could just be a sympathizer of MHFM, not necessarily a Brother. He does use some of the same rhetoric and language as the Dimond Brothers, but that could mean little more than that he reads or listens to a lot of their material. But it's clearly neither Peter nor Michael's voice.
I know that the Brothers monitor CathInfo somehow. They have taken me to task for various things I have posted here. I'd actually like it if they joined the forum so we could engage directly. But they would get banned pretty quickly here due to their dogmatic stances on SVism + BoD.
Very thoroughly researched video here about TradCatKnight, whoever put this together.

Hah, you may be right on that. I made the assumption based on the very similar tone and style of how the information was presented. If he isn't part of the MHFM, he's probably their biggest fan... He certainly fooled me!
-
Someone here on CI accused the OP of being one of the Dimond Brothers.
Now, this person in the video MAY be a Brother in NY, but he's neither Peter nor Michael, and the video by itself doesn't prove anything one way or the other.
-
Wow!
What a video. I had to watch the whole thing, naturally. What a ton of research! Yes, it takes 40 minutes for the whole thing, but think of how many hours went in to researching and producing this video. I consider it a bargain.
I had done a lot of research myself, but this guy has me beat. He taught me quite a bit. I never even clicked on *Eric's* followers on Twitter; I focused on the people following him. He really summarized that part well. I did mention his "subscriptions" on Youtube though.
I noticed a lot of "reacting" to CathInfo in Eric's recent behavior in the last few weeks.
1. Alexa rank -- someone on here pointed out his horrible Alexa rank, betraying his REAL popularity (which isn't much, needless to say). Sure enough, Eric got right on it!
2. His joke of a forum, which I took him to task for only having 115 members after a year. Again, Eric agreed and got right on it! Now he has 1000 fake members as well. And I love how this video showcased some of the posts on his forum -- advertising testosterone, fake Facebook likes, etc. Priceless!
I also liked the shout-outs (without naming us, of course) to CathInfo, Eric's rant here, and Eric's outburst on his own blog about me and CathInfo.
I also liked how the video connected these dots: In one of Erics's posts on here, he said anyone with a forum that has only 2700 members is not to be taken seriously. Ok, Eric! Will do. Your forum, even after the 1000 fake ones added, is still only at less than 1200. You're insignificant -- noted. :)
The video really put all the pieces together -- that he is seriously lying to the public about his "#1 status" and when combined with the fact he's asking for donations ON THE ASSUMPTION HE'S SO BIG AND SUCCESSFUL, it's very immoral. The fact he's selling ad space on a fraudulent basis (claiming he's so popular, when he's actually not) is basically theft. He's offering something that he's not ACTUALLY providing. He might as well be using falsified weights and measures in commerce, adulterating food products with filler, etc.
Like the video said, he has some serious issues.

[The link Matthew deleted] has the misfortune of sharing GaJєωski's name along with a number of other gentlemen.
-
[The link Matthew deleted] is definitely not him... wrong age (TCK is 38), not in Steubenville, and he works for a living!
I don't think that's him. Firstly his site design looks too nice, and secondly he's based out of North Carolina. Eric/Tradcatknight has always stated he's based in Ohio, which Google will verify.

The fellow you linked to has the misfortune of sharing GaJєωski's name along with a number of other gentlemen.
This on the other hand is GaJєωski's not so secret Adult Industry Ministry in action.

Any idea if Fr. Voigt has cut off contact with this guy?

Any idea if Fr. Voigt has cut off contact with this guy?
If you listen to the interview Fr. Voigt is being very patient and very generous giving the audience the Catholic doctrine. I don't believe he has to do anything with Eric, he just gave a lecture to Catholics via webcast.
BTW it looks like this video comes from the MHFM they may have indeed researched or helped to produce the video in some way
"
MHFM: This is an extremely interesting and shocking new video. It totally exposes one of the biggest frauds we’ve ever seen in the ‘traditional Catholic movement’. It exposes a false traditionalist heretic and liar named Eric GaJєωski (a.k.a. TradCatKnight). GaJєωski is a false traditionalist who constantly claims to have the most followed traditional Catholic apostolate in the world, but his claim is totally false. The reality is that his alleged ‘following’ is almost totally fake. He buys fake followers, fake ‘likes’, fake comments, and more all to prop up his elaborate deception. Indeed, the level of his fraud and deception is astounding. This is a must-see video for anyone familiar with the aforementioned individual. It shows again that the Devil is active, and is working to mislead people. He uses heretics and wicked people."
Look at the comments paid by GaJєωski: http://tradcatknight.blogspot.com.br/2015/10/those-who-serve-god-should-not-follow.html#comment-form

It was reported on this thread (http://www.cathinfo.com/catholic.php?a=topic&t=38182&f=19&min=50&num=5) that Fr. Voigt was considering using GaJєωski as a middle man for financial donations.
-

Unless someone actually contacts him directly, I don't think he'll ever realize it on his own. Same thing goes for Fr. Kramer, Bishop Williamson and any other priest he's come into contact over the years. GaJєωski is probably very careful not to let all his crazy show in front of those he's trying to associate with.
Hollingsworth appears to have a special connection to Fr. V, perhaps he can drop him a line?

oh, that'd very bad. Could someone call Fr. Voigt and tell him just that Eric is not to be trusted? Maybe some real good person here will be able to help Fr. Voigt. Eric may have called Fr. Voigt and lied he had a great Catholic website and was willing to help.

Fr. Kramer is this one? http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NW7VwFb6Uzo/hqdefault.jpg
While I like many things he says, I have very good reasons to believe Fr. Kramer is working to portrait Putin in a good way in the west and he does that in almost every talk/interview. He's been associated with very crazy people on his travels which are always pro-russian and very anti-american.
-
First, that Father should "cut off contact" is a bit extreme.
Mr. GaJєωski has made some poor choices, but he hasn't left the Faith. Once again, you have a situation where this person shouldn't be a public figure, but that doesn't mean Father should "cut off contact."
Next, Matthew did email Fr. Voigt when Eric was banned and "exposed" a few weeks ago. Father did not respond and I don't know if he'd consider Matthew to be an impartial source anyhow.
I second the motion for Hollingsworth to inform Father that it might not be a good idea to entrust Mr. GaJєωski with handling business matters.
-
I understand why many people who does not like MHFM. They call heretics everyone who believe in Baptism of Desire and Baptism of Water
Pope Clement V, Council of Vienne, 1311-1312, ex cathedra: “Besides, one baptism which regenerates all who are baptized in Christ must be faithfully confessed by all just as ‘one God and one faith’ [Eph. 4:5], which celebrated in water in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit we believe to be commonly the perfect remedy for salvation for adults as for children.”
So it's the Church teaching that the only Baptism is of Water, but one who does believe in Baptism of Desire are not to be considered heretics. That's my opinion.
Although Bro. Peter and Michael Dimond approach is doing more harm than good (they don't recommend ANY Mass, and they claim that there's not a single Chapel that is not heretic) I can't say that they are using a lie or are deceiving the public. No one can say they are using false arguments because they are not, but they are using with exaggeration (calling everyone who believes in Baptism of Water and Desire a heretic) the good docuмents they have. Hence (in my opinion) the MHFM doing more harm than good.
-
I've been baffled for some time why good traditional Catholics that I know refuse to believe that he's not operating in the light. I've pointed out the pornographic content of his blog numerous times. Also that single men who are former clients don't have hooker ministries. I just get the "He has the faith!" excuse. Don't most of those who have the faith go to Hell for sins of the flesh?
We can't just judge by if someone has the faith. We must objectively judge behavior and actions.
-
Yes, he seriously isn't to be trusted. He was hiding all of this from us. He was intentionally deceiving us about something as serious as "I'm the #1 Traditional Catholic site on the internet".
If he could rationalize that to his supposedly-Catholic self, then he has serious problems with Catholic morality.
If he could rationalize what he's been doing, he'd be able to rationalize "skimming a bit off the top" of the donations received for Fr. Voigt -- or anything else.
Do you think ANYONE who donated to his "apostolate" wanted their donations to be used in this way? To promote sinful websites, sweatshops in bangladesh and India, etc.?
Not to be trusted = not to be trusted!
You don't trust an arrogant con man with donations intended for a priest!
-
My apologies. It seemed pretty clear to me that these were the same people, especially considering the overlap in industry-- online marketing (TCK is essentially just a brand whose "value" is measured in clicks).
Matthew, could you remove my post so that Eric GaJєωski of EKG Marketing does not encounter any undue scrutiny?
-
Eric lacks humility and charity. He needs to go to SSPX St. Ignatius Silent retreat for men for a week where he can consult in person with a priest. He needs to repent and make a general confession. In the meantime, we will pray for him.
-
Too much talk can lead to sin. Less talk; more prayer.
-
I want to add that sometimes those who are new to the faith really believe with all their heart but their lifestyle hasn't adjusted. The morals sometimes don't catch up for a while and they think they can stay in the world and "beat it at its own game" while still being saved. Some saint must have written of the folly of this years ago. Doesn't "The Spiritual Combat" cover this topic?
I am NOT excusing or condoning Eric's media work. Even by worldly standards it's smut and deceptive. The video does a great job of pointing out that he's violated the policies of the sites he's using.

I can agree with this mostly, but I detect something I've heard before...
ah yes...
"we will pray for him"
How charitable of you to speak on our behalf! A leader of men you must be.
Too much talk can lead to sin. Less talk; more prayer.
I wonder to whom she is referring to? GaJєωski no doubt! This couldn't be yet another silencing move on the part of someone who has absolutely nothing to add to the conversation? Perish the thought!
You know, when St. Therese Lisieux took it upon herself to pray for the infamous Henri Pranzini, she didn't shame others while doing so, or as a way the shush the crowd. She didn't interrupt the legal proceedings, she didn't naysay those who rightly criticized him. She knew her place and did what she could on her end. If the man was still on the prowl, do you think she'd try to stop the manhunt?
That would be a frequent tactic of women who like to manifest a desire to control a situation through a false sense of piety. All they see is conflict and can't help themselves from identifying with or "mothering" the bad actors (read: bold men!) and go out of their way to protect them from the just punishment due for their crimes. It happens all the time. The secular version of this is the phenomenon of falling for the bad boy, sending love letters to serial killers in jail, etc.
If perchance this is not some feeble and misguided attempt to stifle the discussion here and rather is a genuinely voiced concern about the soul of Eric GaJєωski, then I'm sure that when you pray, it will be that word gets out fast and wide so as it will lead to some form of repentance which heretofore he has not shown. That way, less damage will be done to those he is actively deceiving and defrauding.

The Trad Cat Knight fights back:
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/embed/KRcLB7nHhYs[/youtube]
I haven't watched this video so I don't know what it contains except that it attacks the Dimond Brothers.
It's an older video and is not in response to anything said here on CathInfo or from the MHFM camp. It was made back in May. For a transcript of his reaction to the recent CathInfo stuff, look here:
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/embed/nFtRilfeWhE[/youtube]
2:30:12 - 2:35:27
There's also a recent, recent attacks coming from a website called CathInfo which apparently, is some sort of forum for the Resistance and just in you know 5 or 10 minutes of kind of perusing uh this forum because people have been getting back to me (I thin he means in the 30 minutes he spent spamming the living daylights out of CathInfo). I can tell you this is a place you should not be going for information. Regardless of how much information they're putting out or you know It is truly is a den of detraction, a corridor of calumny and uh you're going to fall for the venom that's uh being put out there even if some of the information might be true(!), it seems like it's more bar-talk uh than anything to be taking uh seriously.
It was called to my attention some things just being said in general I mean not just about me, I know Father Kramer's had issues with that I can just tell you that they allow a lot of error on that page, you're going to find error all over the place uh you're gonna find Feeneyism, you're gonna find heretics, I even think some of the heretics are probably co-administrators it seemed like from the dialog going back and forth um and so it's just very it's very backbiting, very venomous there, there's no true charity being promoted there.
And so I went in there uh to uh offer to, to put this mildly, to speak with anyone on the phone or via Skype via all of this nonsense that was going on and not to my surprise no one wanted to do so, it was just more ah silly juvenile-ness coming from uh individuals who apparently think they are more than what they think they are uh and certainly that particular forum which has only accuмulated 2700 people over 10 years that that's nothing to write home about, that's nothing to write home about.
And there was accusations that I use social media (actually we accused you of lying) to gain greater visibility and have followers yeah, I've mentioned that! You would be moronic to not use social media to try to gain a greater visibility, so I'm not a fraud for using social media tools. I have a Masters degree in Business (that's why he asks for donations!) and apparently the administrators over there have no business acuмen whatsoever.
Ah, and so we continue to collect athletes, celebrities, government officials, I even have politicians, independent um I have an independent person running for president that I have spoken to. There's nothing fraudulent about what we do. We're gonna continue to grow, we're not going to listen to these people. The bottom line is when coming to me, you need to just stay away from this group. We present enough information just in general about the Resistance... enough... to where you don't need to be on these other forums you're only going to delve into the uh just the nonsense that's going on there.
But I wanted to put that out there so everyone is very clear, I made myself open and apparent to all these individuals and after about an hour or so, they just banned me (was he ever actually banned?) and apparently people have been coming back to me which I didn't know about 'cause I don't pay that much mind and I mean I think I've honestly maybe checked onto their page a half a dozen times in the past two years, if that. I've tried to promote several uh several times they accused me of creating fake accounts and it was actually Charmaine the same night that was helping me do some promotions and just all these false accusations and that's kind of what it is, there's just all kinds of these here say, just they're just talking about people there and it's just nonsense, you're not going to grow in holiness there. So instead of spending an hour on that stupid forum, spend it in prayer. You don't need to be there, folks.
So I'm sure having said this we'll get the trolls coming onto my page So I'll preface this by saying if you're to come onto my, any of my social outlets,
you need to know that I basically have it set up to where I check comments within a matter of minutes and they'll be gone and you'll be permanently banned so, please don't come on there and waste my time uh, you know, trying to say stupid stuff.
Ah, I put myself out there, you all backed down, you all were cowards. You know who you are, Matthew and the rest of the knuckleheads over there. That's how it is. So you shouldn't be checking onto that site. If you have uh any further questions um at certain points I need to defend myself I don't have time to do that much more. I mean I've done that with sedevacantists before in the past, I've talked to people, pseudo-traditionalists and usually after 5 minutes they hang up. They know they're not going to get their way, they just hang up on me.
Uh so the point being let's close and let's continue to pray for individuals (oh he must be holy!) who were just talking in general, gossip, um backbiting, just this raw spirit of um it just doesn't come from Christ...
-
Even in a Eric post we are fighting.. hey let's be reasonable. Let's use our energy to better things other than GaJєωski.

Bravo! For the same reason I don't join in on internet rosary crusades--it smacks of spiritual pride.

Yup, I throw those in the recycle bin along with the "Pray for Pablo" crusade!
I'll pray for Pablo like I pray for Eric... to be excised from the community where they can do no more harm.
To those who think that God doesn't give active graces to combat this kind of evil on a regular basis, anything less than a syrupy fantasy of repentance and conversion is not enough.
-
RealMcoy: Most traditional Catholics pray the rosary in public and during Mass.
Then there are public processions too. So are you accusing Catholics as being full of pride?
Are you Catholic?
-
Ok, Croixalist, VCR -- take it outside :)
I agree that "we'll pray for him" should be a given. We can't stop justice from being done, though. In this case, justice involves exposing the fraud for all to see. Eric needs to A) cease and desist from his shady online behavior B) quit wasting his "donors" money, and C) repent of his arrogance, deception, etc.
Until then, we can keep all the flamethrowers burning and aimed at that Eagle's nest. In all charity. For not only Eric, but all the people he is deceiving, and the Trad Catholic world in general.
Praying for unrepentant sinners -- a laudable practice, but you don't need to clutter up every thread. It's a given.
I like what Croixalist pointed out about St. Therese the Little flower -- she didn't guilt anyone, she didn't disrupt the legal process, she didn't disagree that he deserved his death sentence -- she just humbly prayed for the man.
I also agree that some on this thread MIGHT take your suggestion the wrong way: that we're somehow IN OPPOSITION to Catholic charity in our physical work for justice. In that respect, you need to understand why some might be a bit defensive.
Being defensive doesn't mean a person is in the wrong. It simply means that he takes the spiritual life seriously, and he doesn't appreciate being told he's on the wrong path.

I watched the Erics video "answering" to MHFM. Absurdo, he is lying again saying "at the last week one of our post had skyrocket views" but he did not say "because I bought".
About 10 days ago he had "5 million" page views, now it is close to 12 million. I'm sure he's spending a good money on that.
Take a look at this SNAPSHOT FROM APRIL 2015
https://archive.is/5nxZ0 322,508 views
Now October 2015 more than 10 million? hmmmmmm he's buying fake views since day one.
Based on his youtube views before he started to buy youtube viewers it's safe to say he may have 400-1000 views per mouth (real person). 2000 at best.
Is GaJєωski a "cult?"
Far from it. He's a merely dishonest person. He has free time to write blog posts, upload videos but that's it. Btw he posted Matthew phone number on public on his blog. That's not honest at all.

Not to be trusted = not to be trusted!
You don't trust an arrogant con man with donations intended for a priest!
Like when the con man is an "amateur exorcist" for example.

Yes, Eric GaJєωski is not taking his medication. See how he's trying to blame MHFM/Cathinfo for the fake comments he bought:

TradCatKnight Fake?

Such keywords include: Traditional Catholic, Latin Mass, SSPX Resistance, Fatima, Apostasy, Vatican II, Endtimes, Alternative news and many others. Such individuals who come to my site are NOT FAKE. Those who are fake I am not responsible for.
(...) We have hundreds and hundreds of celebrities, athletes, actors, media, government people following.

Due to the constant psychotic trolling on my websites page I have unfortunately decided to disable the comments section. There were several people from the Cathinfo/Dimond Brother camp who literally spammed my comments wall every few minutes with the same moronic message over and over. It is really sad to see how pyschotic these individuals are"

You've been caught using the same user name begging for paid views and comments. It might have worked if you weren't so blockheaded. BTW, nice going following all those fallen women, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs and witches. What a colossal fraud you are!

No one is accusing him of being a fake. Eric is defending himself from something he was not accused .. he knows perfectly well that he can't prove that he didn't buy fake views/comments (regardless if they are done by a robot or not) so He's changing the subject.
BTW he got 1 million views in a matter of hours and he still says it wasn't "computers/fake" but real people :roll-laugh1:

Uh, no that's exactly what he's been accused of! Everything about his "apostolate" his views and comments, his "following" is a big fat lie(fake!). He is defending his "use of social media" which no one has a problem with. It's the fact that he's been dishonestly purchasing all that stuff from people who have no natural interest in it. Then he turns around and offers place comments of his own in return for those services. In short, he's a social media prostitute.
Now he's forced to create bigger and bigger lies to try to cover up his solicitations. It becomes clear that "My account's been hacked multiple times" is meant to excuse this behavior, but as the TCK exposed video says, it's preposterous to think someone would hack his account in order to garner fake views and comments. Then he tries to explain why there's so many trash followers of his on twitter and myspace with 'Oh, my following is so big that I don't have time to block and remove all the trash surrounding my accounts'. Well if you don't have time to filter that stuff off your account Eric, you don't have time to maintain a truly Catholic presence on the internet as your work constitutes a near occasion of sin!
What is genuine is that he believes he is the GCM, and the ends (of recognition) justify the means (lying and buying support). I don't think anyone would have been willing to go to the lengths he's gone to support this fantasy unless they honestly believed it. The problem is, he's already precluded the power of God with his own sinful methods. If he really was the hidden monarch, God wouldn't need him to lie constantly in order to be in a position to be recognized. He wants it to be true so badly, his whole life is now centered on it. It's just too bad he's hitched his trailer onto the resistance movement.
At least now I can write off Fr. Kramer for his complete lack of judgment as a "spiritual advisor" to Eric. If Fr. Voigt has any good sense left, he'll put Eric at arm's length. As for the rest, I've lost hope for the Kentucky contingent.
It starts with a delusion of grandeur and is fueled by willful deceit and sinful pride. Birds of a feather flock together!
-
Yes you're right , actually he's a fake person :(
The fact that some people might actually believe he's being attacked (while he's the only responsible for all this situation) is very frightening.
-
Good read. I heard of people buying likes and views but not sure how it was done.
Only big question is why would he use his own name to track it all back? Or was that required to gain trust to do aetciles for other people?

Good commentary. Do you have any clues as to WHY he believes himself to be the Great Monarch?
-

If only Eric would be honest enough to answer that! As far as clues go, there's a few. He keeps talking about "losing everything" at one point which apparently led to some kind of conversion. He lost his girl, he lost his job, he lost his house. Note that this was before he converted so it wasn't due to him making some noble Catholic stand. Whatever transpired, it appears to have been the biggest humbling moment in Eric's life... until now that is.
:jester:
We can only imagine how insufferable this man was beforehand. A lookup of the Steubenville GaJєωski reveals a few items. A former basketball player from Tom's River New Jersey. He moved with his family it appears to Ohio at some point, perhaps as Eric was going to college at Steubenville University. The only job he is associated with is manager at a local Dollar store. None of these are shameful in themselves but maybe always assumed he would rise higher in life. When what little he had was taken away from him, he found himself in a crisis. I wonder if the only reason he really ever got actively religious again was because of the Monarch prophecies.
It could have started out genuine enough, but if like most false visionaries and seers, he was mistaking his own wishful thinking (or worse) for divine interior locutions then we have the eventual result before us. In a short message exchange from Chris of Defeat Modernism on why TCK was no longer associated with the channel, he said "he was claiming receiving messages from Our Lord and Our Lady."
Now if he didn't react like such a raging schoolyard bully when challenged, he might have had some room to operate in. But the fact remains that he's sloppy, a bad liar, and a bad actor. These alone are incompatible with at least what I envision the GCM to be. For all I know, he could speak French because it seems like his command of English is shaky at times.
I've been tipped off that Eric has finally posted a pic of himself to facebook, probably in direct response to the TCK Exposed video. This is not a photo of a man who works for a living. For all I know, he's being supported financially by family members and what little comes through in donations.
-
I'm renaming the attached photo so people can more easily see it.
Good summary -- "he looks like someone who doesn't work for a living." I couldn't have said it better.
Long hair, beard, sweatshirt with hood, wearing a Rosary as a necklace, beanie cap, always asking for donations, he doesn't have a real job, he's a bit loony in the head -- all he needs is an actual cardboard sign.
How can he expect us to take him seriously?
But his looks are beside the point. The point is that he is NOT admitting publicly what he is doing with all those donations. He is still lying and saying that he was hacked, that getting tons of fake followers "just happens to any popular person" etc.
He's still claiming over 640 MILLION views on his main site. Two days ago he said, "TradCatKnight IS the most followed and viewed traditional catholic page legitimately (tradcatknight google+ page has over 640 million views alone)"
He's claiming that when you're super-famous like Elvis, people good and bad throw themselves at him and he just can't help it. (Looking at the graphs, they do it in carefully timed blocks of 10,000, then they takes days and weeks off, ignoring him completely...lol)
If he were really that popular, the English-speaking world would be transforming into a new Christendom as we speak. And CNN would be coming to HIM begging for him to do an interview. Etc. But we all know it's a bunch of nonsense; a complete fantasy. That's what this video so eloquently proved. He's running a scam, period.
-
Has anybody taken into account that he could be mentally unstable? He has created an alternate personality from his real self. This dark cloud could pose a risk to the resistance movement actually moving forward.
I would say he needs to pay a visit to a priest, perhaps Fr. Chazal, who can judge his psychiatric state right away, and then he needs to be admonished to practice holy silence.
-
Regarding Defeat Modernism Does anybody know if Christopher Perrreti (sp?) can corroborate some stories, perhaps he may even have more to say.
-
I recall one of his testimonies he gave he stated that he was a daily marijuana user. That particular drug can really transform a person, making them paranoid and delusional. Perhaps he didn't get proper treatment after kicking his habit and now has mental health issues related to his former drug use.
Thank you Croix and Matthew for the explanations. He's definitely a cult figure. He seems to not mind.
-
Hipsters and the jobless often look similar, with the hoodie, beard and cap.

The better way to put it is society has expectations to how one presents themselves to the world socially and professionally.

Huh, I hadn't heard of that before! Could be a good natural explanation for his strongly held delusions at least.
Ladies & Gentleman (and all you eagles) from the "where are they now file"... Kenny Loggins!
Speaking of danger zones... every time this guy opens his mouth, he seems to find himself in one. Too bad he doesn't have a wing man!
Of course I had to try and listen in on his response video to the recent "TCK exposed". I can only push myself to listen to his drivel for 20 minutes at a time anymore though so I only just caught this little gem 30 minutes in:
TradCatKnight Fake?
One person this morning I just uh, got off, and he said "Well, that's being insincere by getting that traffic, you shouldn't do what you're doing."
A, number one: you don't tell me what to do. I don't take orders from you, you don't tell me how to run this apostolate.
B, no: it's not being fake. No it's not being fake, there's, there's, there's no one fake behind it. The views are not fake, any fake views are removed if there are and they simply are replaced. They all have unique IP web addresses to attach which is a part of the agreement, essentially. I don't sign off on any agreeement unless we are rendered what we specifically pay for(!)
So again it's people who are ignorant, who don't understand how things truly operate in the world and that's shame on them if they don't use it!
29:15-30:05
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/embed/oLMdCJis5_U[/youtube]
So if we're to go by Eric's definition of what qualifies as a fake view, it's completely based on what he can get away with. I don't care how many original IP addresses you have, paying people to watch your vids for money is objectively dishonest whether YouTube finds a way to detect your fraud or not. I'd hope most of the Catholic viewership out there have a higher standard of truth detection than YouTube's filters.
You sure showed us how little we little folk understand social media tools, Eric! You're one of the biggest!
This Thanksgiving I'm have roasted eagle to donate if anyone is interested.

Linked to from Novus Ordo Watch now -- and just like on CathInfo, they put up a disclaimer...
We really try our best not to link to any content produced by the Dimond brothers because of their denial of baptism of blood and desire (among other things), but the video they just produced exposing Eric GaJєωski’s TradCatKnight deception is too important to pass up.
Take a good look at what is going on with the man who claims to be the “Great Monarch” of Catholic prophecy, who is the commander of the “Order of the Eagle” you probably never heard about, and who incessantly brags about being the (allegedly) “most viewed and followed traditional Catholic apostolate on the internet.” Ah well — there are two sides to every story, and it’s time we looked at the other side:
CAUTION: Produced by Baptism of Desire/Blood Deniers —
listen to our TRADCAST 004 for information on No Salvation Outside the Church
No, we don’t have a personal axe to grind with Mr. GaJєωski. We are sharing this information first and foremost because GaJєωski spreads most dangerous errors regarding the Catholic Faith, specifically regarding the unity of the Church, the papacy, and the Catholic Magisterium. Our podcast TRADCAST 003 takes on some of GaJєωski’s errors. In addition to the sin of schism he promotes in the souls of his adherents, GaJєωski also advocates a number of nutty ideas that should immediately raise red flags with anyone who has a pulse, including the idea that he is the Great Monarch of Catholic prophecy who will reign in the end times and that Our Lord Jesus Christ has appointed him to “give the orders” to his followers — called “eagles” — in his “Catholic Military Order of the Eagle”.
Now, since the publication of this video, GaJєωski has, of course, published his own response, or what he thinks is a response, to the evidence against him. You can find it here. Go ahead, watch it — but then watch the original video again that exposes him — and see for yourself if he has really refuted the evidence against him. Clearly, he hasn’t. GaJєωski spends roughly 40 minutes responding to only some of the accusations (carefully selected, no doubt) and manages to “explain” just how it’s all a big misunderstanding, how he purchases views only to get those who otherwise wouldn’t come across his web site to be exposed to Catholic truth (sure!), how his critics are mentally ill, how this exposé of him is all just a bunch of evil sedevacantist trolls doing the devil’s work, etc., ad nauseam. He uses grandstanding, calumny, sanctimony, projection, rhetoric, and gratuitous insults as his “rebuttal”, and he comes across as rather overbearing and manipulative, apparently believing that his “followers” are docile and dense enough to swallow it all.
GaJєωski appears to us to be a dangerous narcissistic and vain blowhard who uses a facade of “traditional Catholicism” to promote himself and his bizarre “Catholic military order”, nourishing his obviously over-inflated sense of self-importance. It is sad, truly sad, that there are souls out there — good-willed, pious souls — who fall for him. It is a sobering testimony to the state of “traditional Catholicism” today.
-
Jєωski is getting far more attention now than he ever did before.
-
I would note, as others probably have above, that the Dimond Bros go to a Greek Rite church which acknowledges Pope Francis as Head of the Church, last time I heard. That said, TCK always seemed so boring. How was he getting these views, and so quickly? I thought he was running some script. It makes sense that the was clicking farming etc. The man needs help and prayers.

It's not the good kind and he earned it. I mean, if you're okay with him cozying up to resistance priests, then I suppose we should have just ignored it. My bad!

Funny how that works... yet another "Trad" group seeking out the Eastern Rite to save their keysters. Doesn't matter the amount of hypocrisy or fraud they have to go to!

It is odd, surely somewhere in NYC or state there is a sedevacantist Mass. There is, so why don't they go? It's weird.
TCK made at least two responses, and disabled comments due to 'Dimond trolls.' A person will need to listen to another boring talk of his to get the response. Maybe he denied it.

That is a good point/question.
I know that many *real* Catholics are falling for his scam.
A) he has a number of REAL Catholics "following" him and giving him all kinds of credence
B) this includes at least one "resistance" priest, Fr. Voigt, and
C) many of these supporters get out their checkbook.
D) That money is going straight to these worldly, immoral people who friend/promote/like anything and everything. As well as third-world sweatshops. Neither is good.
E) Besides the natural desire for truth/goodness that might motivate some of us, Eric ALSO came on CathInfo quite recently and was anything but humble or polite. So there's that added impetus as well.
I think that's about it.
And while I spent a few hours looked into some of this a few weeks ago, I really have moved on. The people that are going to blindly defend him are not going to have their minds changed. I just wanted to put the information out there, so people can find it if they are open to the truth. That's all I can do.
But I have a LOT of more important things to worry about, and so I'm going to get back to worrying about them.
Later then --

It's really disappointing to hear Fr. Hewko recommend one of Eric's interviews.

It would be bad enough to deceive by using a software "bot," but to employ "click farms"? Awful! To abet unjust wages is hardly the public act of a practicing Catholic.
His promotion of Alex Jones was one of my first red flags for the fellow.

Some Trad Caths are contradictory in that they will criticize the aesthetics of the Novus Ordo mass, criticize modernist architecture, et cetera. But then they see a website that looks like this monstrosity: http://tradcatknight.blogspot.com
and they don't put two and two together. I appreciate Croixalist and Matthew investigating this guy, but I wouldn't trust him just based on the look of his website, even if he was polite and didn't use these underhanded marketing tactics.
Dawn Marie's website (is it still up?) had this similar schizo look to it.
