JOHN SIMKIN AND ANDY WALKER
I AM REQUESTING THE ADMINISTRATORS REVIEW "ASTUCIA" CREDENTIALS AND POSTS
UNREGISTER
HE IS MANIFESTLY A PROVACATIVE ANTI SEMITIST
I will remove any posting this is clearly anti-semetic (I have for example removed the thread where Salvador Astucia claims that Israel was responsible for the recent disaster in Asia). However, at the moment I am reluctant to ban all his posts. He has been warned about his future behaviour.
Mr. Simkin:
I understand why you removed my article, "Critical Thought on Tsunami," which was admittedly controversial, although in the article, I made it clear that the conclusions presented were an alternate explanation of what happened, a theory. Nevertheless, I realize it was controversial and I apologize for putting you in the awkward position of having to resolve people's complaints and still maintain a degree of openness in this forum. Believe it or not, I even consulted advice from colleagues before publishing the article anywhere. I was afraid the general public might have a similar reaction as you.
Therefore, I fully understand why you decided to pull the Tsunami article. Having stated that, it is unclear why Mr. Clark chose to complain about this particular thread, "Jose Joaquin Sanjenis Perdomo," which discusses the possibility that Perdomo (aka, Sanjenis) may have been John Lennon's true assassin, and Mark David Chapman was framed. I double-checked the Perdomo article and it doesn't even mention Israel, Jews, the Holocaust, and so on. Yes, I understand why Mr. Clark was upset about the Tsunami article, particularly if he supports Israel and Zionism in general, but I fail to see what would bother him about the Perdomo piece.
Nevertheless, thank-you for not pulling all of my articles. I will try to steer clear of discussing Israel and Zionism as much as possible; however, those topics cannot be avoided entirely, given my book about JFK's assassination, "Opium Lords," which points to a Zionist cabal as the ultimate sponsor of the murder.
Thanks again, and seriously, I understand and respect your position.
Salvador Astucia
