They’re giving it away …

by hakmao, 10 December 2007

… and yet we pay. Overnight in the DSTPFW mailbox, we received an unsolicited email with 10MB of attachments–which is antisocial by any measure–specifically four eBooks, with the promise of ‘another round soon’. It is the electronic equivalent of the no marks who throw garbage bags full of bottles and food waste into the middle of a busy road. That’s 10MB of bandwith that would be better used for reading poetry or watching youtubes of talking cats.

As well as America’s “War On Terrorism”–Michel Chossudovsky and The War On Freedom: How and Why America was Attacked, September 11th, 2001–Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed, we have:

Crossing The Rubicon: The Decline Of The American Empire At The End Of The Age Of Oil–Michael C Ruppert

Eh? When Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon in 49BCE, Rome was, at least in name, still a republic. Far from declining, following Caesar’s assassination in 44BCE, the Empire grew ever larger and more powerful under the Julio-Claudian and Flavian dynasties, and the Pax Romana lasted for three hundred years. Seriously, if you are looking for a slick metaphor, that one’s not very useful.

The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11–David Ray Griffin

Not sure whether the Pearl Harbor comparison is based on the conspiracy theory that Roosevelt kept the Pacific Fleet in port in order to give his government a casus belli, or whether the author thinks the USA should have ridden out the attack and continued an isolationist policy in the face of Japanese fascism–and I have no intention of finding out.

    Unfortunately, I know Kip and Judith Plant, the dipstick new age capitalist couple on Gabriola Island, BC that publish Michael Ruppert, Barrie Zwicker (http://www.newsociety.com/bookid/3932), Nafeez Mossaddeq Ahmed and promote the troofer movement (http://newsociety.com/blogs/index.php?title=9_11_07_global_day_of_action&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1).

    When I asked Kip how he in good conscious could publish, promote and sell “it was an inside job” “false flag” conspiracy crank troofer dribble, having previously only published books on environmentalism and conflict resolution, he replied:”They’re selling like hotcakes”.

    I’m not sure if it makes it any worse, or better that upon further questioning as to whether he truly believes the codswallop he’s promoting, or whether he’s just publishing Michael Ruppert, Barrie Zwicker and Nafeez Mossaddeq Ahmed and promoting troofers for the cash, Kip revealed that he actually thinks the troofer brigade asks “important questions”.

    I for one don’t want any part of Kip and Judith Plant’s arseholic “new society”, a society where they, Alex Jones and Jeff Rense toast Charles Lindeburgh before sipping their organic Sherry.

    You should note that David Ray Griffin is the infamous imbecile who spent years claiming that the airfones inside the 9/11 planes could either not dial out or did not exist, was eventually proven conclusively wrong and then……continued claiming the same shit, also uses quotes from the ‘research’ of a holocaust denier named Christopher Bollyn in that very book. The scum.

    Michel Chossudovsky: The very same head case as mentioned in dispatches on this site in “Tony Blair in Drug Shocker”:

    I sent ‘Rebel Resource’, for such do the cocks who sent the email call themselves, a very tersely worded email instructing them to remove our address from their mailing list. If they send another they will receive a missive which would make Will blush.
