Just out of curiosity, I took a look at this Prison Planet website. I had a suspicion that it was another rightwing outlet that mixes 9/11 conspiracy theory with other wacko ideas. I was right: --It links to the Vdare anti-immigrant website. --It charges "globalists" with a global warming conspiracy. "Globalists" are the same forces that the militias in the 1990s harped on. You know. The UN, the Bilderberg, black helicopters and all that. etc., etc. The website is in the inspiration of one Alex Jones, who has written that communists in the West are funded by big corporations. That's news to me. Maybe I can hit up General Motors to help defray the costs of Marxmail. ________________________________________________ YOU MUST clip all extraneous text before replying to a message.
