E Mail: colinbennettcombatdiaries@gmail.com
Due to the Home Secretary Teresa May's
announcement in The Sun today (24th), we are taking down
certain items off the Combat Diaries.
Meantime, Alf says:
enjoy your immolation, and your Social-Scientific Psycho-Social Social-Democratic
Anal-Dilation techno-concrete objective Reality Test in the Combat Diaries. If your balls fall off or
your vagina disappears during your fully-rationalised "factual" test, then write to the
Manchurian Candidate and complain. I am now in such a state that I can't tell the difference between
Lady Ga-Ga, the CERN Collider, or Stanton Friedman!
You'd better believe it - you know it makes sense!
Next Full Edition appears on god-knows when...
Novus Ordo Seclorum

Review
Politics of the Imagination, Reissued by Cosimo Books New York
By The Anomalist (Jefferson Valley, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Politics of the Imagination: The Life, Work and Ideas of Charles Fort (Critical Vision) (Paperback)
If Thomas Pynchon had any interest in Charles Fort, this is the kind of book that might result. It's far more than a biography (Damon Knight already did that), but a literary study of Fort the writer, as well as a postmodern rant on the illusory nature of facts and reality in the light of Fort's philosophy. Bennett, like Fort, sees "explanations," especially those provided by science, as a superficial means of understanding. Even more than in his previous book, Looking for Orthon, Bennett does battle with modern skepticism, which he sees as a debilitating contemporary illness. This is a great, big, heady stew of a book full of references to literature, arts, philosophy and more-much, much more. Bennett takes Fort and runs for the goalposts--I don't think anyone else could have done him justice. This book is a monster, a raised fist at the orthodox prison of the mind that is contemporary culture.
All Colin Bennett's books are Second Editions published by Cosimo Books, New York

'Sex slave case': Prince Andrew may regret friendship with financier (above) who had a very dark secret

ANDREW ALLEGATIONS CATEGORICALLY UNTRUE, SAYS PALACE
JEFFREY EPSTEIN PROFILE: THE BILLIONAIRE PAEDOPHILE
PRINCE ANDREW NAMED IN UNDERAGE 'SEX SLAVE' LAWSUIT
Palace denies Prince Andrew under-age sex claim
Buckingham Palace has issued a strongly worded denial of allegations that Prince Andrew was involved in "impropriety with underage minors".
The statement was released after the Duke of York was named in a US lawsuit.
The woman who has made the allegations claims the disgraced US banker Jeffrey Epstein loaned her out to his friends, including Prince Andrew.
Papers filed by her lawyers say she was held as a "sex slave" by Epstein from 1999 through 2002 after he "became enamoured" with her.
In the motion filed in a court in Florida, she claims she was "forced to have sexual relations with this prince when she was a minor" in London, New York and on a private Caribbean island. She is believed to have been 17 at the time - underage according to US law.
The document continues: "Epstein instructed Jane Doe #3 that she was to give the Prince whatever he demanded and required Jane Doe #3 to report back to him on the details of the sexual abuse.”
Palace Denies Prince
Andrew Sex Claims
A woman claims she was "forced to have sexual relations with the prince" while underage in London, New York and the Caribbean.
The Prince visited Epstein in New York in 2010 after he was released
Sky News Correspondent Rhiannon Mills said: "It's important to point out that we have in the past seen Prince Andrew criticised for spending time with Epstein, including in December 2010 after he was released from prison."
Epstein was jailed in 2008 and spent 13 months in jail after admitting to having sex with a 14-year-old.
He had been investigated for paying underage girls to have sex with him at his luxury Palm Beach home - and 40 women had come forward as victims.
However, he cut a deal with federal prosecutors and the charges were not progressed and he agreed to admit sex with the teenage girl.
Two of his victims have now brought a case against the prosecutors claiming their rights were violated because they were not consulted on the secret deal.
Jane Doe 3 has applied to the court to be included in the lawsuit against the federal prosecutor and it is in the legal document to join the case that she makes the allegations against the Duke of York.
Sky News has attempted to reach Ms Maxwell for a response to the latest allegations.
When claims about the nature of her relationship with Epstein were reported in 2011, her lawyers issued a statement describing them as "entirely false".
