Nick Land: Judge For Yourself!
Confused by recent events? Shocked by what you’ve read or heard? Well Sphaleotas is here to help.
On November 23, 2002, a poster calling himself “Nick Land” submitted the following to Coldfury.com, the lobotomy ward-Republican “Voice of the American Street”:
Hiya,
this banned in China meme is getting way out of hand. I live in Shanghai and spend two-thirds of my time hanging around in war-blogs (most of which proudly claim to be banned in China). By the way, love anything that can be taken as an endorsement of flash-frying islamofascists keep up the good work - nick

The previous month, another “Nick Land” had posted this to The Middle East Forum (“Promoting American Interests” ... “seeks a stable supply and a low price of oil”):
Absolute dishonesty

Dear Dr. Pipes,
Thank you for your intellectual integrity about the most criticial issue of our time.
The evasions of politicians, slimy deceit of terror's leftist academic fellow-travelers, and outright mendacity of Islamofascist aggression run together into a single monstrous phenomenon. An honest voice these days is a precious thing indeed.
Militant Islam has turned the principles of Holocaust denial into a systematic tactic. Once again, following the Bali atrocity, the very people responsible for - or sympathetic to - the attack have immediately claimed that the victims themselves, or their allies, are the real culprits. The same grotesque lies, of course, accompanied the 9/11 massacre. This consistent, intrinsic and absolute dishonesty of the Jihadis places their war on a level of sickening deceit perhaps unprecedented in human history, and further underlines the complete intellectual bankruptcy of their ideological apologists in the West.
Like you, I worry that a further cataclysmic act of Jihadi barbarism will be required to shake the Free World from its decadent stupor and provoke the uncompromising resolve to fight back.
On the positive side, the Islamofascists are clearly terrified of the truth.
Keep up the good work.

Anyone unfamiliar with Daniel Pipes’ “good work” might care to take a look at this.
You can search out further NeoCon nonsense here. Forrest Gump for President! has its moments, but this arguably best reflects the current output of Britain’s most consequential libidinal materialist.
