| schestowitz | >> I think what you meant to say (I am not sure) is that to bytesmedia | Nov 26 01:39 |
| schestowitz | >> account I should encrypt it. Am I correct? | Nov 26 01:39 |
| schestowitz | > Or that reference to the other party could be removed. Not sure. | Nov 26 01:39 |
| schestowitz | I see what you mean... | Nov 26 01:39 |
| schestowitz | >> BTW, Breton 'bombshell' will come out soon. | Nov 26 01:39 |
| schestowitz | > Excellent. That is big news but all but impossible to get mainstream | Nov 26 01:39 |
| schestowitz | > news to pick it up. Part of it is that there is only tiny, tiny | Nov 26 01:39 |

| schestowitz | > left usually have only minutes to investigate *and* write up a story. | Nov 26 01:39 |
| schestowitz | > This came up in conversation here recently with guests. Not too many | Nov 26 01:39 |
| schestowitz | > years ago, there were all kinds of areas of coverage. Even local areas | Nov 26 01:39 |

| schestowitz | > pick up the series and use it? | Nov 26 01:39 |
| schestowitz | Some are >already< picking it up. | Nov 26 01:39 |
| schestowitz | I'll publish part 15 shortly. :-) | Nov 26 01:39 |
| schestowitz | Yesterday I browsed over RSS TruthOut. It's a good site, the RSS feed is refreshing. Is the script picking it up yet? Seen no posts from there in the text file. | Nov 26 01:39 |
| schestowitz | One of the few sites I trust... and it picks from other good sources. | Nov 26 01:39 |
| schestowitz | > The rest of the series fell behind schedule but Part 15 is now available. | Nov 26 02:33 |
| schestowitz | The quality of the text and the research has been >superb<. These articles are not prominent in English Web searches. | Nov 26 02:33 |
| schestowitz | > The remainder will follow soon over the next few days ... | Nov 26 02:33 |
| schestowitz | Makes sense. The key bits are already 'out there' and people debate these, link to these. | Nov 26 02:33 |
| schestowitz | > Breton's appointment as EU Commissioner seems to be close to a "done | Nov 26 02:33 |
| schestowitz | > deal" at this point. | Nov 26 02:33 |
| schestowitz | As I like to say, even if you shed light on someone coming into power without managing to prevent it, that light-shedding then become a lingering liability for them throughout their service. | Nov 26 02:33 |
| schestowitz | > An "epilogue" to the series is in the pipeline to take account of this. | Nov 26 02:33 |
| schestowitz | I will try to publish all remaining parts as soon as I receive them. I hope I make no errors (layout, typos, broken links etc.). | Nov 26 02:33 |

| schestowitz | Look, doc. I know you've been using linux for almost as long as I have (Debian Bo). How do you stand newbies like this guy who try to act as authorities on *anything* while giving that information from his first (RPM-based) distro he's barely used for more than a year? | Nov 26 03:40 |
| schestowitz | Can we consider this phenomenon an extreme consequence of the "we have to give the young, uneducated, and ignorant an equal voice" movement that is currently bringing us Greta Thundburg and other foisted Celebritweens? | Nov 26 03:40 |
