Because, @GeorgeMonbiot, you trust the French to defend us from the Russians?!? Or you were leaving that to the Americans? Woefully naive.
@leashless Another thing that makes me wonder what u were doing at #DarkMountain festival. Pentagon consultant, reporting on protest groups- @leashless ... and Trident enthusiast. @paulkingsnorth - is this guy really an ally of yours?
@GeorgeMonbiot Talking out you ass about someone you don't know, makes *you* the idiot. Stupid is as stupid does. @leashless is good people.
@inflector @GeorgeMonbiot @leashless FYI George Monbiot is definitely 'good people'. High ethical standards & great campaigning journalist- .@GeorgeMonbiot I said the same think at Dark Mountain and the Pentagon youtube.com/watch?v=EkQCy-U... and youtube.com/watch?v=R3X2V3g...
- .@GeorgeMonbiot George, take a look at my Pentagon work. Started with oilendgame.com and disastr.org
- And, @GeorgeMonbiot I'll note that you did not reply to my position on Trident, but switched to personal attack and impugning my reputation.
- . @leashless My concern about what you're up to long pre-dates your tweet about Trident. Pentagon consultant, reporting on protest groups.
@GeorgeMonbiot @leashless So you have to be a member of the Leftist Church to participate in Dark Mountain? I should have been told before.
@whvholst @GeorgeMonbiot @leashless I should also have been informed of this. I was under the impression @DarkMtn was about surviving.
@GeorgeMonbiot Got to say, I think @leashless is a bit of a nut (love you Vinay!) but a spy for the Pentagon I can't quite buy.
LOL. @GeorgeMonbiot thinks @leashless is some sort of secret squirrel spymaster for yelling at DoD to use clean energy a decade ago.- @ciphergoth @leashless Billed at DarkMountain as consulting the Pentagon about protest groups. He didn't dispute the billing.
- .@GeorgeMonbiot @dougald Hrm. I've never worked on social issues for the State, outside of Council of Europe @edgeryders
- @GeorgeMonbiot Could you quote the exact text of the billing for @leashless? Can't find that online anywhere, sounds... surprising.
- @GeorgeMonbiot @ciphergoth @leashless I'll do my best to track it down. I hope you'll consider possibility that you misheard/misremembered.
- @GeorgeMonbiot @ciphergoth @leashless To be clear, when is it you think this was said? When @leashless was introduced as a speaker?
@dougald @GeorgeMonbiot @ciphergoth Yeah I don't remember @leashless billed as such either. Not very undercover tactics if he was a spy!- @dougald @ciphergoth @leashless Will certainly consider possibility. It was in the intro to him on stage. I responded with shock at time.
- @GeorgeMonbiot @ciphergoth @leashless Will do everything I can to track the recording down, as it's a very serious allegation you're making.
- Specifically, I need recording of the *introduction* to @leashless talk from #Unciv 2010. For context, see recent exchange w @georgemonbiot
- @dougald @ciphergoth @leashless I'm not suggesting he's a spy, but that I had doubts about which side he was on.
- @dougald @GeorgeMonbiot Even if that is on the recording, surely not said in seriousness "This is @leashless, who btw is spying on you all"
- @GeorgeMonbiot @dougald @ciphergoth it's not that @leashless has such a role so much as he likes to keep people guessing what his role is...
- @GeorgeMonbiot @ciphergoth @leashless You are suggesting he reports on protest groups to the Pentagon, though, right? (Or that we said this)
- @GeorgeMonbiot @ciphergoth I fully understand that @leashless presents an odd position, esp for those of us with background in us v them...
- @GeorgeMonbiot @ciphergoth @leashless ...oppositional politics. I don't agree with all his positions. Not even sure he does! But I do find..
- @GeorgeMonbiot @ciphergoth @leashless ...a substantial degree of intellectual consistency in his explanation of his position.
- @dougald @ciphergoth @leashless The way I remember it, it was about consulting Pentagon on protest groups.
- @GeorgeMonbiot @ciphergoth @leashless Can you remember whether it was @paulkingsnorth or me giving the introduction?
Finding it difficult to observe interaction between @GeorgeMonbiot, @dougald, @leashless & @smarimc without shouting "Avengers Assemble!"- @artistsmakers TBH @leashless is big enough to look after himself, but I object to idea we'd give platform to someone who spied on protestrs
@leashless @GeorgeMonbiot As was clearly seen when they annexed Iraq thus securing more oil.
@leashless @GeorgeMonbiot There is not a word on climate stabilization (as you call it) on their website.- And, to be fair, @GeorgeMonbiot, the politics of being pro nuclear-power are not unlike being realistic about military balance of power.
Unpleasant seeing @GeorgeMonbiot directing 'Pentagon informer' accusations at @leashless - (here's an e.g. of his work ndu.edu/CTNSP/docUploaded/D...)- For a more rational response to the 'who on earth is @leashless?' question than @GeorgeMonbiot 's: scribd.com/doc/30711287/Dou... (by @dougald)
@davidsteven Can one really have a "rational" answer to "who on earth is @leashless"? All that make sense to me are intriguingly irrational.- The analysis which lead me to an acceptance of the morality of working for the Pentagon was probably like yours on nuke power @GeorgeMonbiot
@GeorgeMonbiot @leashless Alright, lads, lets settle this like gentlemen: Epic Rap Battle.- Anyway, @GeorgeMonbiot I can accept that you misheard or misunderstood how I was introduced at Dark Mountain. This creates an issue.
grapheine.com/bombaytv/grap... intro to @leashless talk at #darkmountain 2010 requested by @dougald . should settle dispute with @georgemonbiot
