Way worse than I thought. High-society conspirazoids, with more background on the Year of the Graves bedlamers, how urban legends are still urban legends, and how it's a small world after all.
In a 1959 interview with BBC, Bertrand Russell was asked to outline the advice he would give to future generations.
“When you are studying any matter or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted either by what you wish to believe, or by what you think would have beneficent social effects if it were believed. But look only, and solely, at what are the facts.”
Whoa, and here I thought you were having a wonderful day alone with the fishes. At the rate you're going, and with the enemies you're seemingly making, you'll be found swimming with them. Kidding of course. I'm looking forward to tomorrows installment of 'How can Canada possibly get any more fucked up than it already is?' Cheers
I know there is a lot of important and serious information here but I gotta tell you... that comment, "not Ireland, the other one" , really made me laugh.
Great article, Terry. There's a depressing number of attention-seekers that thrive on being in the centre of a moral panic. They stitch together a few known facts and then pile on the bullshit. When challenged, out comes the denier label.
Your Year of the Graves piece drives them insane. You present facts and because they can't argue the facts, they go after you. As Margaret Thatcher said, when they personally attack you, you know you've won.
Love your work - straight forward, no nonsense writing. I too signed up and it's money well spent IMHO. I listened to both versions of your Canadaland interview (unedited first) and I came to the same conclusion as Blair King; Brown made himself out to be calm and reasonable where you responded with anger and aggression. My first and most likely the last time I will sign in to listen to his podcast. Can't help feeling there is a shit storm on the horizon and it's not going to be pretty.

Keep it coming!

Critical work and very well done Terry. I'm a new paid subscriber but a long time reader of your columns. Thank you for your work.
Re: enemies. You know what they say about being over the target etc. PS take a day off for a good long bike ride pretty soon
Always insightful, informative and often entertaining!
