So how do we know that "Phil Howe" is not an al-Qaeda operative?

Somehow 'education & historical study' reads to me as, communing on the internet with other like-minded & equally pompous souls trading endless boneheaded theories about the illuminati/9-11/lizards/etc...

Marcello I have not a clue what your talking about to be honest. But if it helps and should anyone really have any reason to check out my IP address then let me assist you. I am at work at the moment, I work for MCI/Worldcom, my office is located in Amsterdam. By night I write from home, I have a non fixed IP address account and live in Utrecht.
I hope this helps you Marcello. For security reasons, given that I work for the company largely responsible for the creation, up keep and evolution of the internet and future communications you will forgive me If I do not divulge further details that could see me fired.

phil, for you own safety: run, get off the grid, disappear. if you know anything about marcello (codename IMPROV) you will know you have about 6 minutes' head start here.

Perhaps my photo on my site might convince you I really wouldn't look good with a turban and that I am far to sexy to blow myself to pieces.
Or perhaps not, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, after all.
Mind you when that picture was taken I had 3rd degree sdum burns from the Portugese heat, man it ficking hurt, at that point blowing myself up would a great relief.
Surfice to say I would of done it in solitude, perhaps in the sea? ......Oh crap but what about the widdle fishes?
hmmmmmm...
Clearly I annoy and anger most of you. There is really no point me hanging around, I have a girlfriend to verbally abuse me, Is that not punishment enough?

Come off it. "Amuse", perhaps.

This (and the idea that Phil posted pics to the Liz thread) is fighting conspiracy theory with conspiracy theory, paranoia with paranoia. I've noticed this happening before on ILX, when aggressive trolls are confronted with aggression far more trollish than their own. It doesn't look like a self-assured response at all.

Hey look, we both had the same thought, at the same time, sitting only inches apart. We are not longer in control of our minds.
OK, more than inches.

and momus, i read MC's statement with a touch of humor, and don't think anyone on this board has been aggressive to phil...anyone that comes around bragging about how clever they are, and how silly we are for believing something in the media is bound to get a response, and it all seemed fairly measured.
several xposts

And I'm just trying to wind anyone up. Like I said, I saw a lot of hits coming from this place and wanted to check it out, saw some people misrepresenting me so wanted to state my case.
Conspiracy theories, the real ones, do tend to be dull, fantasy-the reality we generally live in- is fun. Personally I like to know what is going on and don't like being taken for an idiot or lied to.
Still when I'm not all serious and dull i'm a damn funny dude with the looks of bond and starry eyed girls trying to get me into bed. You probably didn't need to know that did you? If you didn't hate me before .............

"Nowhere has the importance of independent judges policing a constitution of principle become clearer than in the context of the threat and reality of terrorism. I say this in the month that London experienced a series of bomb blasts, killing and maiming many innocent civilians. Nothing I say here makes light of these horrific acts of violence, or of the responsibility imposed on governments to keep the public safe, or of the dangerous task performed by the police and intelligence services. At the same time, it is all too easy to respond in a way that undermines commitment to our most deeply held values and convictions and cheapens our right to call ourselves a civilised nation.

"Sometimes democracy must fight with one hand tied behind its back. None the less, it has the upper hand. Preserving the rule of law and recognition of individual liberties constitutes an important component of its understanding of security. At the end of the day, this strengthens its spirit, and this strength allows it to overcome its difficulties."
Since Cherie Booth is none other than Tony Blair's wife, the big question today has to be not "What's going on at Euston?" but "What's going on in Tony Blair's bedroom?"
