This is in response to the posting by Roger Annis yesterday, Comment on Russia and Ukraine. Based on your description of the situation in Russia and the Ukraine, it is surprising that a far right gathering would choose to meet in St. Petersburg and not in Kiev. And why would they chose a hotel whose electrical system is so unreliable? Roger Annis said (in part): I have been told by several editors during the course of the past year that they will not publish my articles or those of other writers associated with New Cold War.org because they, the editors, wish to pay heed to the belligerence of Russia in Ukraine, said to be "equal" to that of the NATO powers, and because, in their view, the extreme right in Russia presents an "equal" danger to Ukraine and to Europe as does the extreme-right in Ukraine. This is ill-informed and misguided. Ken Hiebert responds: I do't know which publications you are referring to. I expect that through your work on Haiti you have gained a broad audience for your writing. There is no reason why you should change your message to be published in these publications. Perhaps they would be willing to print your articles if they were part of a debate. Maybe opposing articles by yourself and Louis Proyect. If not him, then someone else on this list. Failing all else, I would be willing to write something. if you have given up on being published in these outlets, perhaps you should challenge them openly. If you were to denounce them as "ill-informed and misguided," it could get you a broader hearing for your views. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
