Sit konsèvatè fouyapòt !
On his blog "Feral Scholar" (http://stangoff.com), Stan Goff suggests that we apply to be listed on what he justly call " Horowitz's weird site (http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/default.asp)", spotting names and organisations supposedly representing a threat to the conservative wing in the US. (see Stan's message below)
I quickly browsed through the "Individuals" section of the discoverthenetwork site. It is VERY interesting ! Plenty of my role models are in there and it does indeed almost make one want to be listed there too, although all kinds of people are categorized as all kinds of things. The underlying attitude sounds very childish, uncoherent and simplistic. It is even surprising how it actually works more AGAINST a conservative propaganda than for it ! Are these "rightwing" people really dumb, or are they so smart that I am fooled, or is it another fifth degree disinformation strategy ?
I read Dennis Kucinich bio with interest. Several paragraphs are dedicated to the SOA, the SOA Watch and the Department Of Peace project as well.

Holiday Update to the FERAL SCHOLAR ALERT LIST
For those of you who haven't seen it, Lila Rajiva
has done an expose of
David Horowitz's latest effort in his anti-left,
anti-woman, anti-gay,
xenophobic, anti-Muslim, anti-Black Kulturkampf.
Her piece is at
http://www.counterpunch.org/rajiva12242005.html .
Horowitz's weird site is at
http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/default.asp .
Here is my end-of-year suggestion. Review the site
to see if it has
your name listed (mine is, under "anti-war"). This
is tricky, becasue
the site divides the specific cultural menaces we
represent, in the
section for "Individuals"
(http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/individual.asp),
into the following
categories:
ANTI-ISRAEL
ANTI-PATRIOT ACT
ANTI-WAR
CIVIL LIBERTIES
CIVIL RIGHTS
ENTERTAINMENT ARTS
ENVIRONMENTAL / ANIMAL RIGHTS
FEMINIST
HUMAN RIGHTS
IMMIGRATION
MUSLIM
NGO
POLITICAL
RADICAL
RELIGIOUS LEFT
SOCIAL JUSTICE
TERRORIST
UNION
While many of us could claim several categories,
Horowitz's web site
designers only let each individual subversive have
one category. So
you may have to search to find your name, whereupon
you can click your
name for a bio. My bio was riddled with errors, but
it was there.
They crib the bios from anything unflattering they
can find on the
internet.
ACTION: If your name is NOT among those listed on
Horowitz's site,
which I believe can eventually be used as a resource
to find speakers
and allies, DEMAND THAT THE SITE INCLUDE YOUR NAME,
TOO. You can make
this demand at the site's comment section --
http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/contact.asp
SAMPLE MESSAGE:
Dear Discover the Network dot org:
As a charter member of The Network of subversives
you are "exposing" so
Horowitz can pimp for cash by parlaying ignorance
and hatred, I am
deeply offended that you have not included my name
on this list of your
official enemies. Many of us are now convinced
that, with proper
management, your list could serve as a valuable
resource for people
seeking collaboration and alliances with anyone who
opposes the weird
agenda of David Horowitz, Lynn Cheney, and their
ilk.
I demand that you include my name immediately, and I
am enclosing my
bio.
Thank you.
