3. Latest from Lukery- February... hmmm.
Okay- I'm officially worried.
Anyone know how to contact either of them?

4. I'm sort of astounded by the lack of responses here-
Do you all know something I don't?
Is this now a forbidden topic or something?

5. 36 views and not a peep?
Edited on Wed Apr-30-08 06:40 PM by BeHereNow
What, are the only people viewing this thread
watchers for the BFEE/Cheney PTB?

A sort of Internet "watch group?"

Any mention of Sibel or Luke now is flagged?

7. Guess we'll meet in the GULAG- along with Sibel and Luke...
I think we are officially on "the list" by now.
By the silence on this thread, I gotta admit, I'm wondering.

8. Think anyone on DU will miss or wonder where we went?
I'm remembering all the responses to Lurkery and Sibel's
posts here, not THAT long ago... and NOW no one even
cares that they have virtually vanished from the net?

Shades of JohnHorne here...
Remember him?

9. I'm guessing no one is answering because no one (so far)
can answer your questions. .

10. Answers or not- it would be nice to know others are concerned...
I've noticed a Sibel /Luke black out on the net AND the news.
The news is no surprise, the net however, is.

12. Ok. I'll volunteer for extraordinary rendition...
I've been wondering the same thing for a while now. I've checked all the usual places and emailed all the usual sources and I can't find out anything about either of them.

I hope that they've escaped to a civilized country, where they're busy cranking out a book telling the whole story -- names, dates, actions, felonies et al -- and getting it published by any company not based in the US.

Because you know that a) if they ever found a US publisher, they'd either be the kind that insists on control over final copy, or b) they'd be the kind to stiff them on payment and rat them out to the feds.

But I know nothing, unfortunately. I hope somebody with better contacts than I sets things straight.

WTF?

20. By the time they find a publisher, the Patriot Act will declare all such publications "terror"
Edited on Wed Apr-30-08 07:16 PM by BeHereNow
You gotta admit, it's more than possible.

21. Oh, it's just about there now. In fact, publishing anything remotely political in the US...
...is largely a dead industry, at least if it's anti-Bush or anti-war or pro-impeachment or offers an unapproved take on "the events of 9/11(tm)" or anything else that differs from official Bushean dogma.

And even if you can get past all the lawyers and orthodoxy gatekeepers, distribution will suck, promotion will be nearly nonexistent, you won't spend much time on the book signing/talk show circuit and ultimately your sales will be "disappointing," as they say.

That fact that their shoddy marketing and distribution practices guaranteed that "disappointment" isn't discussed.

Anyway, I'll keep monitoring this thread for as long as it's practical. Please feel free to PM me if you happen to learn anything and this thread has sunk into page 5 oblivion.


Best,

16. I emailed lukery at:
'lukeryland@gmail.com' and got the auto-response:

I'm traveling and will be (mostly) offline until May 25, 2008. I may not be able to reply to your email.

19. Gotta say- I wish Lurkery would check in...
I mean he, among many, would understand our collective concern for
their well being.
Cornered rabid rats (the BFEE) are nothing to dismiss.

18. Thanks! You must admit-
At this point, we can put NOTHING past the bastard powers that be.
Just ask JFK and the others whose blood line the trail of the BFEE.
