Dear Nettimers and Hans-Christian, D’Eramo’s NLR sidecar article indeed contained a reference to Daniele Ganser, but it was a little bit more than a reference (I copy the whole passage into the email further down below). As you can see from the passage, D’Eramo does not just cite Ganser, but re

if you wanted to have a good example of what I referred to as "liberal fascism", it's here: self empoewered thought police feeling entiled to go for a witch-hunt to cancel voices off the mainstream. Even as I do not agree with some stuff the Ganser says, I would always defend his right to spea

Thank you Michael for the useful warning about Ganser. Nevertheless I am left from your intervention with two curiosities. First - and let me preface the I am in totally favour of vaccination and with any no vax sympathy - how the (absurd and offensive) suggestion that the unvaccinated are l

Dear Lorenzo, Regarding the jews: OK, let us not call it anti-semitic as a statement, but anti-semitic in its context (in the sense that many people, including Ganser who make this statement prove to be anti-semites in other ways as well. Plus obviously Ganser is one of the super slick people w

If he only would “complain”: “liberal fascism” and "totalitarianism” is now the minimum charge. Just in case you want more context, Ganser now (as in: last week) likens himself to Sophie Scholl, another person he thinks, who, like him, needed courage to say the truth and to fight against war.

so you call it "giving context" (which would be ok) when in fact you try to silence an inconvenient voice (make links disappear, erase references, suppress ...) that's a euphemism I've never came across so far. Admitting Ganser can be edgy. you want want to cancel everyone "edgy"? where do you

I'm really sorry, Felix, but I have to disagree here. In a sense this war is not even a proxy war, but a testcase-scenario for an even bigger war with China about Taiwan. It is a bloody shame that loads and loads of people have to be killed (on both sides) and have to be mutilated, tortured and

Good to see Nettime ricocheting into life again, despite occasional acrimony. But it was always so. Personally in the current Age of Manifest Disinformation I can't see how calling attention to the questionable credentials of a centrally quoted (& evidently quack) expelled former academic equates t
