From WikiCU, the Columbia University wiki encyclopedia
From WikiCU Don Alfredo Puyol Farrington Valcarcel Zaragoza (b, 1981), GS '05, became famous as the Crazy Cell Phone Guy or the Angry Cell Phone Guy. He is usually known as Valcarcel or Zaragoza. Zaragoza has variously claimed to come from Madrid, Zaragoza, and Andalusia, all of which are in Spain. He is interested in immigration issues, such as immigration policy, anti-immigration initiatives, illegal immigration, border control, refugees, multiculturalism, Islam, xenophobia, and human trafficking. He claims to be a prominent member of the Falange Española Tradicionalista y de las Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional-Sindicalista. He supports José Antonio Primo de Rivera and Francisco Franco, and other fascists, and has claimed to be a devout Catholic. He has also referred to himself as "Sir Azancot Chocrón" a student from London, UK.[1] And on Yahoo!, he is user "buho618".[2]
[edit] American Nationalist MovementPrior to his time at Columbia University, Alfredo has been associated with Richard Barrett's American Nationalist Movement while studying pre-law and political science at Centenary College in Hackettstown, NJ.[1]. When a photo of him appeared in a rogues gallery of Nationalist movement members, run by an Indymedia member, he offered to hand information on the movement over to Indymedia in exchange for its removal. This may have had something to do with his leaving the movement in disgrace [2]. [edit] Activities at ColumbiaWhile at Columbia University, Alfredo Zaragoza was active in the organization, Students United For America (formerly Students United For Victory), working with MilVets vice president emeritus, Eric Chen on bringing ROTC back to the Columbia Campus. He had also made it a personal agenda item to remove the "leftist" element from Columbia, targeting the Columbia Student Solidarity Network (CSSN) and its member organizations; International Socialist Organization, Columbia Students Against Sweatshops, etc, citing the organization as a threat to free speech. Towards the end of his Columbia University career, Zaragoza began an email campaign to have Columbia professors removed from their teaching positions for communicating representations of Franco's Spain that were hostile towards his view of the dictator. He has also on numerous occasions threatened students on the Columbia social networking site CampusNetwork with legal action; the charges including libel and internet defamation. Legal threats were emailed to students from a Hotmail account which served as Zaragoza's legal outlet for the Madrid Ministerio de Justicia. [edit] Speaker at an SOS eventZaragoza was also featured as a panel speaker at a a Students United for Victory (SUV) event supporting the reinstatement of ROTC. Satirical group Students for an Orwellian Society produced a brochure for the event:[3] Students for an Orwellian Society is especially pleased to note the presence on today's panel of Mr. Alfred Zaragoza, who has made some truly impressive contributions towards the bringing about of an Ingsoc society. Mr. Zargaoza has been involved with the “Nationalist Movement,” which advocates, among many other things, quarantines of HIV+ people, racial preferencing in immigration to keep out non-whites, the abolition of the Civil Rights Acts and the Voting Rights Act, racial profiling in police work, and militias to prevent undocumented immigrants. It claims the anti-Semite Henry Ford, segregationist Paul B. Johnson, and rabid anti-communist Joeseph McCarthy as its spiritual antecedents. More information on this group is available at its own website, http://nationalist.org/ SOS especially notes Mr. Zaragoza's previous public statement that Rev. Jerry Falwell is “too compromising about the Bible, especially about keeping nationalities separate and bloodlines pure.[4]” The counter-Ingsoc group Anti-Racist Action has targeted Mr. Zargaoza on its website [5] [edit] Angry Cell Phone GuyHe roamed the Columbia Campus several years ago pretending to be talking to people on his cell phone. He would yell orders down the phone like "You're fired!" One day he was standing outside Butler doing his stunt when his phone started ringing. From this day forth, he was ridiculed at large. The Fed wrote an article about him. [edit] CampusNetworkHe was also an active participant in and major factor in the destruction of CampusNetwork. Some have characterized him as a "troll" for his depraved and prolific contributions to the site. Zaragoza's username was "valcarcel" and he mostly posted articles about Spain, immigrants, fascism, and white supremacism. [edit] Law schoolUpon graduating from Columbia, Zaragoza worked at the Secretaría y Dirección General de Estudios de Seguridad Y Derecho, then he went to law school. However, he seems to have flunked out.[3] [edit] Current activitiesValcarcel has recently re-surfaced on Facebook, and it appears that he has dyed his hair blond. He also now claims to be a Presbyterian.[4] He resurfaced in March, 2008 as blogger Valcarcel at the site "Destapando La Hipocresía De La Progresía" (Exposing the Hypocrisy of the Progressives.)[5] At the site, he claims to be writing a book about his "political success at Columbia University."
