IVAW Tries the Memory Hole Bit…
It doesn’t work.
About two months ago, I wrote this:
I’ve read passing references to these vile plans for awhile, and like some half-remembered bad dream I’ve tried to ignore them, maybe hoping IVAW wasn’t really planning what headlines implied. But today John linked them and I finally read their website. Until that point, I’d thought “Winter [...]
