An update on Heina Dadabhoy's "A Skeptic's Guide to Islam" Kickstarter scam: Recently one of her backers posted this comment at her Kickstarter page:
Jason Murray
6 days ago

Given the continued lack of any kind of update from Heina Dadabhoy, I decided to email her at heinous.heina@gmail.com

"Dear Heina,

I am one of the 342 people that backed your 2012 Kickstarter campaign to fund the writing of your planned book A Skeptic’s Guide to Islam. More than six years later, there is still no sign of this book ever happening.

Given that you were happy to take USD$9620 from your backers, with the promise on delivering a book to them, it is reasonable for your backers to expect an explanation as to what is happening.

You have not had the common courtesy to update your backers since March 2015. For someone whose tagline is “here to disrupt your narrative”, I would expect a higher level of integrity and accountability – especially since you never appear to have followed through on your May 2014 promise of “I will make a solid promise: If I do not submit the manuscript to Pitchstone Publishing by this fall, I will refund your money.” This being after your November 2013 statement of, “A lot of things got in the way, but nothing will get in the way of my fulfilling my promise to have a book for you.”

So, what’s happening? Are your backers ever going to see this book? If not, will you follow through on your promise of a refund? Are you ever going to have the common courtesy of being honest and accountable with the people that believed in you and backed your campaign?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Jason Murray."

It's been over a month since I sent that, and unsurprisingly I have not received a response.

I have also contacted Pitchstone Publishing again, who have no plans to publish the book.

I have also finally decided to report this project to Kickstarter. In the absence of any kind of update from Dadabhoy, and her unwillingness to respond to requests for an update, the only conclusion that can reasonably be drawn is that she has taken the money from her 342 backers and has zero intention of either delivering this book, or making good with her May 2014 promise of providing a refund. I would encourage all backers of this project to also report it. At the very least, maybe it will disrupt her narrative and stop Dadabhoy from ever using this service as a money-making tool again.
The timing of his email to her (about 1.5 months ago) roughly corresponds to when she stopped posting again at The Orbit.

This same backer also posted this as a reply to another backer's comment, who was pointing out that she was again posting at The Orbit.

Funnily enough, Richard, when I attempted to comment on Heina's blog, my comments never appear to have passed moderation. It's almost like Heina doesn't want to answer any questions relating to this

I'm so grateful to have a substantial percentage of a UK pension coming at some time or other. The ANC government has steadily pilfered and mis-managed departments into the ground and now they are eyeing up the pension funds. They are making noises about forcing investment managers to make state approved investments. Their cover story is that whitey owes them everything and it's to help those poor downtrodden masses. Anyone with a grain of sense knows who is going to own or have stakes in the BEE (Black Economic Empowerment) companies that benefit. They are adept at hiding their involvement, although sometimes it's blatant, and shifting money off to Dubai. It is very likely just a way of getting their hands on the pension funds.This is the only country, as far as I know, where there is affirmative action favouring the vast majority and they intend it to be permanent. Whites are heavily discriminated against in the job market and can lose out to absolute mongoloids for university places. Mind you, many South African degrees are now worthless anyway. There are pressures to give matriculants with 30% averages a go. Many whites have shifted into making money off newer business niches, but apparently they are still greedy white people who owe everything to black people. Whites are severely limited in the job market and will be prosecuted if they create new businesses that don't employ all the requisite colours and hairstyles ahead of whitey. They go on about how the land was stolen and how the land is so meaningful to them, yet they have thousands of once productive farms that are lying unused because the claimants took the money instead of the farm. It really isn't about justice, it's about plundering the assets of productive concerns. As a white person there isn't much you can build without some mong claiming you owe it to them.

Perhaps a Corey Booker or Kamala Harris can correct my intransigence with a heartfelt and passionate explanation of how none of this is discriminatory. Of course throwing in a "Trump is a Nazi" and "Oh the humanity, white supremacism!" or two. Sorry, but those 2 make my blood boil with their shamelessly disingenuous emotional manipulation. Separating the families of criminal illegal immigrant is evil.Hanging children on meathooks and scalding them alive is not necessarily a hate crime, lets reserve judgement and see what Cyril says.

In about 2008 I did some work for a charity funded by a wealthy UK family. My contact with the charity told me that the first order of business for the local staff running their projects was always always sorting out the transport, i.e. nice cars for everyone.Some guy who runs a training company which skills "previously dis-advantaged" participants and sets them up in business as coops told me that the reason they tend to fail is that the members are too busy fighting over the operating capital to operate the business . Also one of the reasons the appropriated farms fail along with destroying the 60-year-old wind breaks for firewood and going wide-eyed when they find out that the farm requires hundreds of thousands or millions of Rands of borrowed money to operate some years. No way in hell they will spend the money, even if they knew what to spend it on. He also reported a government official fworking for the dept that dispenses grants for corruption but was warned to back off by a higher-ups. My brother tried to start a business teaching golf to township kids for which he needed provincial funding. He had to knock it on the head because the councilors all wanted to get a piece of the action through their relatives' companies and he couldn't advance the project at all.

And to add to my comment about the pension assets, they are ranked in single figures worldwide in terms of dollar value. This is essentially yet another legacy they have received in large part from white SA and the gov are probably going to steal it or waste it, probably both, and then blame the whites for poverty, as usual. See if the West gives a crap.

I have to wonder if in 20 - 30 years time South Africa will be an ethno-state.

That is unless it is politically useful to have a white scapegoat class to close to hand.

Perhaps if whoever is in power needs to do some emergency backside covering, in which case it'll be open season on whitey. Then eventually, as in Zambia, the country might take stock and all will be forgiven, come back cracker, have a farm. There are very strong suspicions that the ANC and it's buddies are deliberately and methodically squeezing whites dry while trying to block them from emigrating. There certainly are some virulent ethnostaters on the political landscape, such as Black First Land First, who are targeting residential properties for expropriation in some towns and driving wealth away from those towns. They are as delightul as they sound:
Black First Land First is a black consciousness, pan-Africanist and revolutionary socialist political party in South Africa. It was founded in 2015 by Andile Mngxitama following his expulsion from the Economic Freedom Fighters, led by Julius Malema
To be fair, I'm not saying that there aren't legacies of apartheid, but what people do not understand is that while some practices were indeed abhorrent, there were other aspects of apartheid life that were nowhere near as bad as some people think. SA is in an extreme "what did the Romans ever do for us stage" while the ruling classes covet anything Roman. At some stage one would hope that people cotton on to the idea that they inherited a lot to work with from white rule and it's OK to acknowledge that without denying the bad even if they have trashed a lot of the inheritance already. The gov is covered anyway, so maybe they'll head of to their mansions overseas if things go pearshaped.

There is one aspect to race relations which I find frustrating.Some black people have an unrealistically high regard for whites which can manifest as an assumption that you just have wealth by virtue of being white and you can tolerate handing out money to beggars on the street and survive discrimination. They tend not to beg from wealthy blacks, who would generally tell them to fuck off quicker than a white guy. That regard can also be a source of resentment for them and they can take it out on whites.

Every 10 or 20 years we (at sea level) get deep wet heavy snows. I remember seeing some houses old barns ,and even some cheap canopies on pick-ups cave in from deep saturated wet snow. . Some times the temperature changes, long term stresses and other stuff adds up.
This year I had to deal with storm damage from storm force winds to my roof and my power supply. It seems that when the disruption starts it damages stuff down the line.
I even had to get my computer exorcised recently. :twisted:

Quotas for toddlers in parliament then.

In other words this seems to be a very misleading way to present it.

In the recent panel that Jordan Peterson was on in Australia the feminists on the panel argued that women will not be represented in parliament until 50% of parliament are women. And quotas are the way to get there. I can see trying to encourage more women to run if you think that would be good, but it seems like the point where you have quotas is the point where democratic elections are over.

France doesn't have a football team, it has an African team. In fact they culturally appropriated their world cup winning team from Wakanda. :x

I’m sick. Did a job last week– one day outdoors, in cold, by the Flatiron Building; the next day inside Grand Central Station– in a smelly corner where homeless people sleep. So– I hope it’s not homeless Tuberculosis.

My lungs feel like they’re full of cotton. I’m not coughing but I keep clearing my throat– trying to breathe better. Some fever. Sore muscles.

It’s not that bad. It will probably get worse before better. The worse part is I’ve had a sore neck for a year+, after a bicycle spill on wet pavement. So the feverish muscle soreness is concentrated in my neck & the more I lay in bed– the more it makes my neck stiff.

So, last night, I experimented with weird pain relief treatments. The first one was whining. Every time I’d breathe-out, I’d let myself moan pathetically. I tried to at-least be musical about it. It helped. I also hung my head off the side of the bed, to stretch my neck– even wore my motorcycle helmet, to add more stretching weight. I napped like that.

Also took Potassium Citrate powder & a Magnesium pill. And, right before sleep, nibbled a corner of a Sour Diesel marijuana Tootsie Roll. I don’t enjoy smoking pot anymore. And those Tootsies are too strong– I hear that even Snoop Dogg doesn’t eat a whole one all-at-once. But I’ve found nibbling a little microdose– just enough to taste the Tootsie flavor… keeps my mind from going down miserable paths–thoughts of mortality & falling-apart– when I wake up in the middle of the night. Another thing that works is to nap with a 1950’s voiced audiobook of old Heinlein juvenile novels, playing the in the background. I think it’s reassuring chewing gum for my subconscious. I tune-in & out of the narration, don’t really make sense of it, but it prevents grim thoughts from starting. The opposite effect–came from watching Red Dawn before bed, a few days ago. Nightmares. That movie was so influential on me, as a kid. But it was punishing to re-watch. In retrospect, maybe it was Too Powerful propaganda– to tell pubescent 80’s boys that we need to shoot communists to protect Lea Thompson & Jennifer Grey from rape. That’s like ISIS weaponizing muslim virgin boys.

I felt strong-enough to walk the dog this morning. Glad I did. Had an idea in the fresh air: don’t look at screens while I’m sick. Do some light reading instead. I started with Fight Club 2, the graphic-novel sequel, by Chuck Palanuik... but it's upsetting. Tyler Durden is more of a murderer terrorist psycho.

I brought home a bunch of those Hot Hands warming packets from the cold outdoor job. I’m gonna try those on my neck, now. The common theme of all these home remedies is I’m not going anywhere near doctors, hospitals, clinics, actual medications.

Tomorrow, my girlfriend is having lunch with a an old friend, a minor popstar, who might burst thru to greater fame. I think I'll be too sick to attend.

The woman who was harassed-- on Gillibrand's watch-- should have brought a mattress to work every day, in protest.
Just like Mattress Girl-- who was Gillibrand's guest at Obama's state of the union.

6 days ago

Given the continued lack of any kind of update from Heina Dadabhoy, I decided to email her at heinous.heina@gmail.com

"Dear Heina,

I am one of the 342 people that backed your 2012 Kickstarter campaign to fund the writing of your planned book A Skeptic’s Guide to Islam. More than six years later, there is still no sign of this book ever happening.

Given that you were happy to take USD$9620 from your backers, with the promise on delivering a book to them, it is reasonable for your backers to expect an explanation as to what is happening.

You have not had the common courtesy to update your backers since March 2015. For someone whose tagline is “here to disrupt your narrative”, I would expect a higher level of integrity and accountability – especially since you never appear to have followed through on your May 2014 promise of “I will make a solid promise: If I do not submit the manuscript to Pitchstone Publishing by this fall, I will refund your money.” This being after your November 2013 statement of, “A lot of things got in the way, but nothing will get in the way of my fulfilling my promise to have a book for you.”

So, what’s happening? Are your backers ever going to see this book? If not, will you follow through on your promise of a refund? Are you ever going to have the common courtesy of being honest and accountable with the people that believed in you and backed your campaign?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Jason Murray."

It's been over a month since I sent that, and unsurprisingly I have not received a response.

I have also contacted Pitchstone Publishing again, who have no plans to publish the book.

I have also finally decided to report this project to Kickstarter. In the absence of any kind of update from Dadabhoy, and her unwillingness to respond to requests for an update, the only conclusion that can reasonably be drawn is that she has taken the money from her 342 backers and has zero intention of either delivering this book, or making good with her May 2014 promise of providing a refund. I would encourage all backers of this project to also report it. At the very least, maybe it will disrupt her narrative and stop Dadabhoy from ever using this service as a money-making tool again.
The timing of his email to her (about 1.5 months ago) roughly corresponds to when she stopped posting again at The Orbit.

This same backer also posted this as a reply to another backer's comment, who was pointing out that she was again posting at The Orbit.

Funnily enough, Richard, when I attempted to comment on Heina's blog, my comments never appear to have passed moderation. It's almost like Heina doesn't want to answer any questions relating to this
(The timing of his email to her (about 1.5 months ago) roughly corresponds to when she stopped posting again at The Orbit. )
I never backed her book, but if I had, I'd contact my state's Attorney General. Hyena might discover that contracts are binding, and ignoring these things can bite you in your ample ass.

Could be real. They're running a lot of buses on natural gas, which would produce such an explosion.
It was Australian cryptofascists doing a false flag to blame muslims.

Between calling for the nuking of Australia and now crypto fascists, FTP is on a rollicking humour-fest.

......

Remember when door open was a PZ virtue flare?

Now it is a feminist demand. From an Australian Minister:
Crabb: "What about mentoring all these women who need to get into the Liberal Party super quick?"

Karen Andrews' advice? Fine, but do it in public.

"I would discourage a male in the current environment from taking on one-on-one mentoring, I would have to say."
https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv ... 513f3.html

The other thing I’ve noticed about News.com.au is a constant stream of “how I discovered my Bf/Husband/partner was a monster” stories. It’s quite the narrative.

That do your mentoring in public sounds more like good advice than a feminist demand. Saying "given the current climate" sounds like an admission that there are accusations made that come from misunderstandings or are made falsely.

The context is a female revolt against political misogyny in Federal Parliamnet. They are very angry with the men.

I have to say, that story is full of bull.

I hope that the bull finds a nice home in the freezer and on the grill.

Just like Mattress Girl-- who was Gillibrand's guest at Obama's state of the union.
I think that was just because Gillibrand is into anal porn.

A woman in New Jersey suffered multiple injuries on Friday after being attacked by her own bull.

The bull’s owner said that the animal had recently attacked her husband, although it wasn’t as serious.
How long now, have we been warning people about the troubles that come with polyamory?

They go on about how the land was stolen and how the land is so meaningful to them, yet they have thousands of once productive farms that are lying unused because the claimants took the money instead of the farm. It really isn't about justice, it's about plundering the assets of productive concerns. As a white person there isn't much you can build without some mong claiming you owe it to them.
The supreme irony, of course, is that many of the blacks in South Africa have been there for a shorter period of time than the white Europeans, and inter-tribal conflicts between blacks can be quite terrible too (the Bantu expansion, for example). But, of course, this has nothing to do with cultures, and mass migration of people with a terrible culture never has any bad side effects. It's clearly just about racism of whites.

So... Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wasn't a lone little grassroots idealistic underdog, who won nomination by knocking on her neighbors' doors?

She was cast reality-tv-show style, by a corporate rich guy & his Money In Politics. She was entered in the contest by her brother & selected from 10,000 contestants...

So here is an interesting website. They catalog instances of false/fake hate crimes.

http://fakehatecrimes.org/

(A quick search before I hit "submit" shows that Tribble posted a link to this site back in 2014)

That video plays like a fly on the wall mockumentary, all that's needed is her doing a David Brent style wry glance at the comera.

How has the most powerful nation in the world come to a point in its history where this vacuous numb nuts shit for brains airhead can be so overly promoted as the new brown white hope? Surely even the New Dumbocrats can find better. :doh: :think: :pray:

Like any politician her popularity lies in saying things that her constituency wants to hear
Or at least giving the perception thereof.

(Not that I necessarily support her, or even James Corden).

So her long winded round the table proof that Trump is in fact truly 'Orange Man Bad' is a win whilst also proving that his cherished predecessor was 'Brown Man Bad'.
