Email to Justin Raimondo @ Antiwar.com

First, a little background info.  Antiwar.com is a non-advertising website who has a "pass the basket" event every quarter.  It used to be $70,000 to keep the website running for 3 months.  Recently that has increased to $100,000.

I finally sent Justin an email, being as kind as I could about his avoidance of certain subjects.  Below I have pasted the email.  I have basically told him, if you want to impress me, put a link to our "Israel did 9-11 - All the Proof in the World" front & center on the Antiwar.com website.

Somewhat sadly, it is possible that Antiwar.com will now be down-sized or stopped.  They have had trouble "meeting their numbers" this time.  I thought it was time to send the man an email.


Why Give $$ to AntiWar.com ?

Hi Justin

I have been reading AntiWar.com for about 5 years.  I have never contributed money towards the running of the website.

However, I have contributed towards other paying websites.  Specifically, FromTheWilderness.com (FTW), and

http://iamthewitness.com/

I contributed to FTW because it brought the world information they couldn't get anywhere else during the 2002 to 2006 years of the Bush administration - critical years for the world.

I have Paypal'ed to Daryl @ iamthewitness.com because of his outstanding work in bringing together a library of books that illustrated painfully clearly the role of Israel and Israel-supporters in various wars and criminal acts which affect us all.  Daryl taught me that to be anti-Israel is not anti-Jewish, and that the word "anti-Semitic" is a compliment, because it is only used to try to neutralize a valid criticism of past or present criminal behavior by someone who is Jewish.


Antiwar.com has always seemed to subscribe to the Official Conspiracy Theory version of many events, such as 9-11.  Therefore, you have little, or nothing, to offer people who want to know who demolished WTC7, for example.

In other words, Anti-war.com offers people who are looking for Conspiracy Fact, more Conspiracy Theory, thereby muddying the waters of thought & history.

I can only conclude that this is a reflection of your personal editorial bias.  Or, perhaps you have people breathing down your neck who won't let you link to threads such as this -

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5367
"Israel did 9/11 - ALL THE PROOF IN THE WORLD"

Ognir, the brains behind theinfounderground.com (TIU), is an Irish man who runs a computer store.  He runs the website at little cost.  All the posts are by members, which means that some of the threads are less than informative.  And some of the threads knock every baseball in the bag, out of the park.

If you want to impress the world of Anti War people, why not put these URL's front & center on your home-page, and then bring your own considerable intellect to bear on the subject ?

I guess that's a rhetorical question.  You have obviously had more than 15 years to cogitate on this question, and your website is the answer.

In short, I don't contribute $$ to antiwar.com because you avoid certain very important subjects.  You might have 'a good heart', but I'm not wealthy and can't afford to give people money merely because they have a good heart.

Sincere Regards,

Abdul Maria

HOW THE HELL COULD ANY WEBSITE COST MORE THAN $2000 A MONTH TO RUN?!

THAT IS INCLUDING ADMINISTRATORS AND WRITERS!

they actually have paid full-time staff.

it's a small publishing business.

i wonder if they'll close, or down-size, or start running ads - or find a Joo who will write the teeny check for $50K to keep the left-wing gatekeeper broadcasting.
