Chronology

For a more detailed and fleshed-out look into Ghost's past, see History of Ghost.

This page is a timeline documenting notable (and not-so-notable) events in the backstory of Ghost, and the True Conservative Radio and True Capitalist Radio shows. It is a less serious look at their history, so feel free to add any events you feel are missing, even if they are only barely relevant. This page will hopefully end up filled with the dates and details of various happenings.

If dates are unknown, then use a '????' marker, with an approximate position in the timeline. If years are listed on pages, they should link here (at least for now).

Pre-2006Edit

• 1993: Ghost 'joins' the internet.
• 1998: Yahoo launches Yahoo! Messenger, and Ghost hosts his first internet show, when the VChat feature is added. As well as Ghost, he is known as 'Asshole 5000' and 'The Bad One'.
• 1999: Ghost affiliates with 'Jason' of Yahoo hacker chat (who apparently programmed the first ever hack for Yahoo). However this relationship degrades into a hacker war, with Ghost facing off against with rest of the chat group. Ghost hacks numerous Yahoo and Hotmail accounts, and assumes the identities of his enemies.
• 2001: Ghost leaves the hacker chat group.

2006Edit

• Early 2006: Ghost creates a School of Political Science on Yahoo Groups and Wikiversity. Based on remaining evidence from the few pages left on Wikiversity, 'Gh0st' as he was known then fell into disagreements with fellow moderators: citing his 'incivility' to the staff and students, and for deleting articles that were in protest of his interests and ideas. He eventually disappeared from Wikiversity, and went elsewhere looking for debates.
• December 13th: Ghost joins Paltalk under the name og_Ghost. Personal Chatroom opened short time afterwards.

2007Edit

2007: Ghost makes both friends and enemies as he grows in influence in the Paltalk community. He runs discussions on Conservatism in his own room, attracting the attention of liberals and other bloggers, angry at his rash opinions. Ghost eventually decides that he needs yet another new platform to broadcast his ideaolgy, and starts to shift focus away from Paltalk once he starts his new show on BlogTalkRadio the following year.

2008Edit

• January 1st: Ghost hosts the first episode of True Conservative Republican Radio.

2011Edit

• January 11th: Episode 182 of True Conservative Radio is aired, the last before the name changes to True Capitalist Radio.
• January 12th: A day after the 3rd anniversary of True Conservative Radio, Ghost launches with the first episode of True Capitalist Radio, complete with the markets, and his shows become more regular.
• February: The Arab Spring gains its most momentum.
• Late January: Engineer makes his debut on the show, a direct revamp of 'Paul'. His well known slur sounds very akin to Ghost for a while, until his voice starts dropping as the months go on.
• May: The number of trolls increase due to the popularity of various Youtube videos and 4chan threads.
• June: Bronies start to become a major proportion of listeners, though they, like the other trolls, have yet to truly explode in number.
• June 1st: Ghost hosts the 100th episode of True Capitalist Radio.
• June 8th: The first ever Radio Graffiti is added to the show, as an attempt to getting trolling out of the Markets, and News Commentary portions of the show. It fails, and only causes listeners to lose attention for those periods, and gives them a chance to perfect their trolling acts. Ghost initially calls it a 'Wednesday thing', he does it again the next day anyway.
• June 19th: DarkRazorZ uploads '4chan Trolls Ghost', the Radio Grafitti Segment for Episode 111, causing a viewer number explosion. A few days afterwards, Youtuber 'Trollsnews' uploads a video reporting on Ghost's show, also putting him in the spotlight on sites like 'KnowYourMeme' along with more threads on 4chan and 9gag. DarkRazorZ also founds the Melting Pot of Friendship Facebook page.
• July 13th: Ghost takes a week long break from his show (following extreme rage in reaction to the first ever Splice), claiming he was out there 'making money' and living it up. His trolls are delighted to see him return on the 21st. Ghost is shocked to see most of that show, and the next one be bombarded with Troll Terrorists, and takes ANOTHER weeklong break - ending the 5 day format, and making shows spontaneous as he pleases.
• August 22nd: DJ AlexS releases 'Melting Pot of Alcohol', becoming an instant hit and getting himself onto the Shitlist in due time.
• August 27th: Ghost holds the first Spontaneous Saturday show since the days of True Conservative Radio.
• September 17th: Occupy Wall Street starts in New York.
• October: The trolls celebrate Christmas, to Ghost's annoyance.
• November: Ghost re-launches his Cafepress site, with all-new True Capitalist Merchandise.
• December: Ghost launches a new avatar to try and deter Youtube videos, as well as covering up the fact that his old avatar was stolen from "Third Coast Radio", another Texan internet radio broadcast. (Third Coast Radio is run by John Conquest, which led to Ghost gaining another identity)
• December 3rd: Herman Cain steps down from the Republican Presidential candidacy, saddening Ghost, who had been a vocal supporter of the man he called Herman "Sugar" Cain.
• December 20th: Ghost hosts a Paltalk session and raids some chatrooms.
• December 24th: The very special Christmas episode of True Capitalist Radio is hosted.
• December 30th: The True Capitalist Wiki is founded to document every aspect of Ghost's legacy.
• December 31st: The Ghosties are hosted live during Episode 189.

2012Edit

• January 11th: Ghost celebrates his 4 year anniversary, despite actually hosting a single episode on the 9th earlier, which he denied during Radio Graffiti.
• January 20th: Ghost hosts the 200th episode of True Capitalist Radio with a Baller Friday edition.

• January 27th: Troll War III starts after a Tinychat hosted by Ghost.
• January 28: Herman Cain begins endorsing Newt Gingrich for president, destroying Ghost's sympathy for the former candidate.

• January 29th: Ghost tweets that he will leave BlogTalkRadio at the end of February. In doing so he creates Troll War III, an attempt to remove Celtic Brony from the broadcast, who had been trying to dox him for months, and claimed he scored a 'victory'. The result was semi-catastrophic - with many old listeners packing up and leaving, and Ghost showing himself off as an asshole to everyone else.

• February 3rd: Ghost returns and declares Troll War III 'over'.
• February: Ghost asks listeners to vote for him in the Shorty Awards, to try and beat the 'mainstream competition', including 'notSam', the producer of the Opie and Anthony show. His listeners react by doxxing him and harassing him on Twitter, and Ghost eventually overtakes him in votes.

• February 17th: The nomination period for the 4th annual Shorty awards comes to a close.
• February 23rd: Ghost is declared the winner of the Vox Populi Shorty for Radio.
• February 29th: The IbanEzzo Doxing Incident is started.
• March 8th: Ghost announces that the next Baller Friday will be his last episode, and changes his twitter icon to that of MrTaco's father. Ghost instead revealed he wasn't stopping the show at all on the next day, but his broadcasts became very infrequent, and he takes a three week long break from the 2nd to the 27th.
• IbanEzzo stops calling TCR after Ghost harasses him during a Paltalk for a half hour.
• March 26th: The finalist ceremony for the 4th annual Shorty awards takes place at the Times Center, New York City. Despite 'cleanly' winning the Vox Populi radio award, Ghost doesn't even get a mention. Him and his listeners are crushed. Many suspect it was due to multiple troll accounts being used to vote for him, and for having a very low number of votes in the first place for the catagory (only 550).
• April 20th: Ghost smokes weed on air yet again to mark 4/20. Many (DarkRazorZ included) remark it was the greatest show out of the 4 year run.
• April 30th: The Ask KaraszKun segment is debuted. KaraszKun takes over the broadcast inadvertantly, in an attempt for Ghost to slow down trolling attempts by using his new friend, complete with Aspergers, to irritate listeners. It only gives KaraszKun more negative attention. Ghost meanwhile becomes very hotheaded on his broadcast, complete with over the top insults (much more severe than what one would normally expect out of him), and threats to dox anyone who messes with him on Twitter. Coodoo17 becomes his biggest pain in the ass, creating multiple high-quality remixes to anger him and cause rage quits.
• May 15th: Episode 226 airs, and inadvertently becomes the Last Episode of True Capitalist Radio due to the events mentioned directly below.
• May 22nd: Ghost's twitter account is hacked by an unknown perpetrator. A since deleted declaration of bronydom from Ghost is tweeted, as well as a rule 34 image of Pinkie Pie. Ghost reclaims control only briefly, but changing the password proves not enough to stop the hacker returning and posting from his account. Twitter account background is changed to CelticBrony's pony avatar. The Melting Pot of Friendship page is also temporarily closed. The NCF has acknowledged being responsible for this, citing that 'Ghost was a closet Brony. we all knew it'.
• May 23rd: Ghost states, under a new alternate Twitter account 'gh0stp0litics', he won't be doing True Capitalist Radio anymore.
• June 1st: CelticBrony quits the internet. Also, in an unrelated event, Ghost regains control of his original Twitter account. However, his last ever Paltalk session, he confirms that he will no longer be on BTR or Paltalk, just Twitter.
• July 14th: Ghost closes his Twitter account (temporarily) out of frustration.
• July 23rd: Ghost re-opens his account back up to comment on the Aurora Colorado Shooting. Ghost claimed this was temporary, but the Twitter account remained online afterwards anyway.
• September 27th: Ghost tweets a video of Arnold Schwarzenegger's famous catch phrase "I'll be back." Many followers believe this means he will be returning to the show soon.
• November 6th: Ghost declares he will never come back if Barack Obama is elected. He is, much to his chagrin.
• December: Ghost unleashes a fury of tweets against members of the GNAA, a trolling group, and former fans who have turned their opinions around of him. The perps egg him on, until he private messages one of them with a racial slur (not with malicious intent, but as the former mentioned group's full name).
• December 8th: Ghost's Twitter account is suspended, with him quickly relocating to his older alt 'gh0stp0litics'. After a series of tweets reinforcing his statements of never doing shows again, an unknown individual called 'FLAWC' apparently breaks into the account, posts a dox of a few trolls, and rambles out multiple tweets all in caps and ending with 'LOLOLOL'. These tweets still exist, and can be found by searching for tweets written by 'gh0stp0litics' in December 2012 and January 2013.
• December 12th: A large number of alt accounts begin popping up, as trolls attempt to impersonate Ghost to continue to infuriate him. One of them states that he will broadcast a final show for thirty minutes on the 12th, after which he will close down his Twitter and BTR archives for good. Neither the show nor the closings happen, but Ghost mentions that his old Twitter account is permanently locked, with no chance of recovery.

2013Edit

• January 28th: Ghost 'recovers' his alternate account, explaining (which he had already done on another of his alts) that 'Sean Higgens' had hacked the account, and he had finally recovered it. Ghost explicitly stated he would never start shows again, due to health concerns, and irritation at being mocked universally by his former fans. His Twitter activity drops until the Summer.
• June-July: Ghost starts making comments on YouTube videos and hints at a return of the True Capitalist Radio broadcast. On July 3rd, he posts a tweet saying he considers doing broadcasts again if the majority of listeners agree with this on his Youtube channel at 'ghostpolitics'. The TCR audience get excited, with DarkRazorZ posting older clips of shows he missed to bring back viewers, and other trolls expressing their apologies for the events in December. Ultimately nothing happens, as Ghost did not follow up on the July 3rd tweet, which recieved over 150 retweets, and a 100 favorites.
• August 12th: Ghost announces he will soon be moving from Austin to elsewhere in Texas.
• August 22nd: Ghost tweets twice, suggesting a return to broadcasting once he moves, 'sometime in the Fall'.
• September 25th: Ghost calls out GNAA member Dutchminati on Twitter, and releases a supposed 'dox' of him, declaring him the vice president of the trolling organization, and one who is responsible for multiple henious acts on the internet in recent times. Anti-Ghost tweeters react with humor, which quickly turned to hostility when he drops a name of another co-conspirator. The dox of Dutch turns out to be false, but Ghost's activity rises dramatically in the days that follow. He also releases some information of two other trolls, but these also turn out to be misled, or deliberately false.
• October 1st: Ghost celebrates the U.S. Government shutting down, after a long period of anti-Obamacare tweets asking followers to '#DefundObamacare' and support senator Ted Cruz's attempts to stall any resolution to pass it.
• October 31st: Despite promises over the month to bring a new show up on Halloween, it does not occur, and the fragmentary remains of the community together confirm Gh0st as a fake account and a troll imposer.
• November 1st: The Gh0stP0litics Doxing Event comes to an end, since the remaining fans stopped paying attention to his activities since his projected show did not happen.
• November 22nd: Gh0stp0litics is suspended from Twitter.
• December 12th: Celtic Brony makes a quiet, yet unexpected return to Youtube under the aliases of 'CelticDeity' and 'CelticRebelBTR' on BlogTalkRadio. Throughout the week, he posts all of his old remixes and soundclips (totalling some 40 clips), along with a few recruitment ads for the Capitalist Army (which have to known knowledge not attracted any potential signups yet). But his most important contribution was an eight minute long video titled 'Ghost and Celtic - the Truth', that in short describes that Troll War III was an 'inside job' concocted by the two, who were secretly friends, that would provide an escape route from the show for both that would allow them to leave True Capitalist Radio unharmed by their fans (although Celtic was doxed at some point, he neither denies nor confirms those allegations in the video). More information is avalible on Celtic's wiki page.
• December 23rd: CelticDeity posts a video of a BTR host challenging his ideas of 'leaving the internet and getting a social life'. The host is notably stuttery and doesn't address the point evenly, giving way to either being a clip of a much larger video, or a lie concocted by the individual in the clip (who has not been identified by anyone yet). Celtic's short lived BTR (which contained a broadcast that unfortunately was not saved) is shut down, and he announces his departure in a single tweet on another Twitter 'CelticRebelBTR' which is suspended a day later. The sudden leave, and the odd nature of Celtic's behavior (who in the past had been a 'major attention whore' as described by some of his accomplices) leaves listeners confused, and also skeptical of Celtic's 'reformed' actions.
• December 24th: Gh0stp0litics is unsuspended from Twitter and predictably cancels the show that had been scheduled for that evening. The very small contingent of fans on the Facebook fan page finally begin to seriously question the purpose of waiting for a new broadcast, and a few declare they have had it with waiting, and depart from the nearly-dead community. 'Gh0st' meanwhile continues his usual baiting by promising an audio clip before the New Year, yet again piquing interest from his followers.

2015Edit

• November 6th: Ghost changed his BlogTalkRadio description to "This is True Capitalist Radio formerly known as True Conservative Radio program. Ghost tells it how it is and how it should be, call in to us... From Ghost: Finally got my BTR account back! Stay tuned and SPREAD IT AROUND LIKE WILDFIRE!".
• November 12th: Ghost makes a comeback in this YouTube video, posted on his YouTube account ghostpolitics, after about 3 years of silence (not counting activity by the hacker). In the description, he states that he finally got his YouTube and BlogTalkRadio account back, and promises to broadcast on December 24th, 2015 (Christmas Eve) and December 31st, 2015 (New Years Eve) if people spread the video.
