FYI, Attaran-Bate AEI-petroleum connection was also exposed briefly in Andy Rowell's piece, "Exxon's Foot Soldiers: The Case of the International Policy Network," in William Dinan & David Miller (eds.) 'Thinker, Faker, Spinner Spy: Corporate PR and the Assault on Democracy.' (Pluto Press, 2007)<br /><br />Has The Mark provided an explanation as to why your piece is no longer on their website?<br />Cheers.WebofDemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02008056493072233291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-65507774980995270142010-03-18T14:10:49.995-04:002010-03-18T14:10:49.995-04:00My, my...the AFM people sure are in high dudgeon o...My, my...the AFM people sure are in high dudgeon over at <i>The Mark</i>.Ti-Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06620550471437012866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-3096102408989904502010-03-18T11:03:44.745-04:002010-03-18T11:03:44.745-04:00Thanks.

But the second one is clear.<br /><br />In any case, "divide and conquer" is a strategy common to corporate and right wing propaganda, which really says a lot about the militaristic freaks we've got running our economy.<br /><br />Sad thing is how successful it is as well.Ti-Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06620550471437012866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-33925144897515720492010-03-18T10:35:24.529-04:002010-03-18T10:35:24.529-04:00Should work now. 2nd link is better; it outlines ...Should work now. 2nd link is better; it outlines his strategy--write a book, set up a front group, etc.bigcitylibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05081538803991095825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-77707184686718630662010-03-18T10:30:45.479-04:002010-03-18T10:30:45.479-04:00And here again is that letter...

I'm trying to find the exact part where Bate mentions not having yet divided his/Philip Morris's opponents.<br /><br />That seems to be the dominant theme of Bate's PR work. And yes, Mr. Bate (in case you are reading this) that is morally vacuous and profoundly shameful.Ti-Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06620550471437012866noreply@blogger.com
