Is it at all possible to contact mr le carre? he does not answer e-mail and it is important.

[bloemetjen]

@vivascargill, I have no idea. Maybe a letter or email to his publisher or agent?

[vivascargill]

@bloemetjen I tried that--get a form e-,ail back saying h edoesn't answer e-mails

I do know that he hates computers (like me) and he once threw his computer into the ocean hmmm well if you come up with an idea let me know

cheers

[bloemetjen]

@vivascargill , well maybe he values paper writing. Send him a letter via his publisher. They probably would send it to mr le Carre.

[olvoro11]

is this guy relly john le carré or an actor?

[bloemetjen]

@olvoro11, it's the real deal. This is John le Carre.

[siddhanti]

What le carre says is quite right. It seems that many simple folks like Moviesniper do not know the machinations and cleverness of vested interest lobbies who operate so ruthlessly and so cleverly to achieve their objectives. i have seen many of such operators up close and am aware of their manipulative tactics and how easy do they find it identify corrupt, vulnerable people abd buy them off.

Bloemetjen, thank you for posting this important discussion of some of the geopolitically thorniest aspects of modernity. David Cornwell, a voice of hard-earned personal knowledge & integrity, is quite effectively lucid on subjects which are (as he points out) ever more & more taboo under the fearful/fearsome regime of "security". Cheers.

@MrBasilGanglia hey I could be rich too if I went around robbing all the houses in my neighborhood or another neighborhood!

[MrBasilGanglia]

@bloemetjen Of course we do what we can to keep ourselves free. Our interests are more important to us than theirs are to us and that is of course natural. What is life without freedom? Slavery.

I believe we should do what needs to be done to preserve freedom and liberty. Tough shit if a tyrant or a dictator does not like us or what we do. They can go piss up a rope.

[bloemetjen]

@MrBasilGanglia, indeed the western world is better to live in for it's freedom's and living standard but maybe the bad thing about the western world is that we do everything to keep ourselves on top of the pyramide. That might be understandable in a natural/scientific way but if it's morally correct...that's the question?
