I miss your old blog.

Besides, you’re getting so much of this in a bubble…you don’t even see what mobile’s doing.

I figured I’d add one more thing:

That’s a pretty decent power point that gives the *true* history, which, while it clearly shows Mr Bush’s involvement, also makes it quite clear that there was a lot of activity before he was around, including communication via Amsterdam which pre-dates that link to Mr Bush’s home.

It strikes me that Mr. Bush did a good thing in South Africa, albeit in a small role, but others apparently disagree.

What is your point in publishing this article?

You’re American so you have no sense of irony, you’re excused from missing Randy’s self-deprecating joke there.

Are you accusing Randy of violating the international boycott of the South African regime? You must be joking. Back in those days, the Internet was subversive and run by academics, far away from the body politic. If anything it probably helped end the Apartheid regime and I commend Randy et alia for that – back then all I got to do to help out was not pump gas at Shell stations.

Are you not accusing Mr Bush of helping end the Apartheid regime? Then you’re a concern troll, denying reality and reason, clutching at straws, busy burning down straw men of your own build, wasting the time of your good-faith readers (if you have any left).
