Eyeballing Tom Montalk as a shill
Somehow, some 24 years ago, a presently 20-something guy offered a 600-page book and promptly cannon-launched a pro-quality revamped website (of an even earlier one!) that hasn’t changed since. “Something seems Very fishy here, at the very least substantially boosted / ‘helped along’.”
We know there are paid shills and crisis actors. It’s a legit question: “Where does funding come from for Carlwood and Montalk?”. Montalk looks like he is in his late 20s. archive.org Wayback Machine is showing a pretty thick montalk.net website from the earliest days back in 2001 with references to angelfire before that — that’s 24 years ago – the guy was like what 10 yo? ?? Something seems Very fishy here, at the very least substantially boosted / ‘helped along’. What gives? Plain, simple questions get immediately removed and/or attacked.
It’s 2025 now. “TOM” appears to be maybe in his late 20s, strangely reminiscent of David Hogg crisis-actor and gun-grabber.
archive.org is showing a pretty thick montalk.net website back in April 2003, 22 years ago, when “TOM” was pre-teen.

A year prior, a 600-page book (!) was already being promoted/offered in May 2002, when “TOM” was, what?, 5 years old? ??? (Update 2025-0716: Tom reportedly born in 1980, making him 24 in 2022.)

20 Months Later, April 2006, montalk.net was reworked into a polished look that has remained unchanged since — two Highly Unusual facts

Given these some seeming and many verifiable facts and I am extremely suspicious of this character, the website, and consequently the information and agenda.
Update 2025-0716
Digging into archives on Montauk / Preston / Bielek, etc. this PDF popped up which lists TM’s birthdate in 1980, putting him at mid 40s. It does appear to be the same person. He looks Very Young.
