Charlie Kirk's murder wasn't just the work of one man but the toxic brew of cancel culture, radical ideology and online mobs, says Nick Cater in the Australian. It's a chilling glimpse of how violence is being normalised.

we don't forget.
According to publisher Martin Rynja of Gibson square books (publisher of Craig Unger's House of Bush, House of Saud), the confusion over No War has arisen because of a last minute change of format of the book. Gibson Square had originally intended to publish Klein's article on its own. Rynja says that he read the piece and thought it was "mind-blowing". He sought rights from Klein via her website and was told that the rights were controlled by Harper's, the original publishers of Klein’s article in the US. Harpers’ subsequently agreed to sub-licence the article for publication in the UK.
Rynja says that all was running smoothly until about three weeks before the publication date when he had two long conversations with Klein about the book. "I heard that she is working on a new book on the subject and didn't want the essay published on its own," he says.
"She felt passionately that the book should be turned into an anthology with more authors included. I did what I could and we missed the original publication date in order to include three other extremely strong authors who develop the seam of the lead article further."The three other contributors are Susan Watkins, writing on the Iraq war as a front for US commercial, interests, Brian Miller on selling Iraq and Walter Lecoeur on terrorism.
According to Rynja, the reason the other contributors are not mentioned on any of the online information about the book is because the revised data submitted to Neilson Bookdata and Amazon has not yet been updated and the sites are still displaying information referring to the original version of the Klein-only book.
The book is officially published on April 18 and, says Rynja, Gibson Square's wholesalers have already sold nearly a thousand copies of the book.

Looks like Klein is concerned about loosing sales for her *new* book?!
The Freedom Boys love to Whine about the Left ( http://www.freedominst.org ), nothing new there of course.
Here they whine about Naomi Klein
http://www.freedominst.org/2005/04/no-logic-naomi-whine-on-iraq.html
Absurdly saying that Klein suggests the Iraq war was all for 'Saudi honey magnates' when, clearly, her remark was tongue in cheek.
Peter Nolan goes on to say: ' This hybrid of journalism and activism that Klein champions usually leaves writers defenceless to the errors of seeking facts to fit your worldview and only recognising those that support it, a phenomenon known in psychology as "confirmation bias" '
Hmmm.... Pot, Kettle, Black?
On March 16 2005 I whined about the Freedom Inst's blog that it had no way of commenting - unlike Indymedia.ie
( http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=68998#comment102717 )
This seems to have changed, they recently added commenting to their blog - a victory for 'freedom'!
But...
(and 'I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on this - perhaps they are still figuring out how to add the holoscan commenting script to their blogger.com template - who knows.)
it is interesting that (as of 4:15pm today) there is no way of commenting on Peter Nolan's post about Naomi Klein.
Also interesting, they have created 'Commenting Guidelines' ( http://www.freedominst.org/2005/04/commenting-guidelines.html ) that, while not quite 'open publishing', do have some similarities to Indymedia.ie's 'Editorial Guidelines' ( http://www.indymedia.ie/editorial.php )
Is the Freedom Inst public only allowed to comment on some things and not others?
Update: its 4:49pm and comments appear on their site - probably fixing the holoscan thingy or such
The format and contents of the blog and comments are still being worked out among the FI membership. In principle, we've no objection to anyone commenting and we will do our best to accomodate and respond to posters, as with redjade.
Watch out though, we have an earthquake machine and we're not afraid to use it!
