The papers are still not here in their entirety, and I'd like to explain why marking these texts up into HTML is not at the top of my list of priorities.
The ibogaine paper in particular was the product of the Hirez skunk works which existed in Amsterdam around 1990. Ten years on, and having received precious little in the way of reward or recognition, I still have a list of potential projects ‘on the back burner' but which are shelved due to a lack of resources.
The motto of Hirez was 'Tackle the root of the problem.' The root problem is a society that concentrates wealth into massive monopolies, deprives innovators of the fruits of their work and, by so doing, stifles innovation. Hardly anyone knows who Tim Berners-Lee is and he’s worth a hundred Elton Johns.
It is an environment which is adverse for innovators. In the biological jargon, we are under a "heavy parasitic load." Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery but it's not funny when you sink your every last cent into a project only to have it copied and mass produced by Orientals, or incorporated into the next release of Windows. A more immediate example is when
someone copies (link removed, legal action pending), and adds advertising to, the web page you spent a day marking up without giving so much as a credit.
A large number of major scientific breakthroughs in the past were made by gentlemen of independent means. But look what happens now to someone that is truly independent! There is ostracization, if not imprisonment, of anyone who exposes the re-writing of history and the present situation in its true light (e.g. myself, Walendy); ignominious dismissal from academic positions (e.g. Chris Brand), and bankruptcy for those who show the events of WWII in an objective light (e.g. Irving). The object, of course, is to keep the layers of the "golden eggs" in ignorance while others profit.
Something like 80% of all inventions have been made by British men, yet Britain is in many ways now degenerating into a Third World country. This website is my contribution to redressing these injustices. And this is why my motto has become If I’m going to work for peanuts, I’ll work for my own peanuts. Because I'd rather work for peanuts than for the benefit of parasites.
Original Introduction
At first I found it somewhat distressing that so much of my carefully-wrought work was being rejected but ultimately it became a source of bemusement. For example Nature was founded by T. H. Huxley ("Darwin's bulldog") practically for the express purpose of promoting Darwin's ideas, yet that journal was the first to reject ‘Darwin Revisited.’ The reactions to this paper in particular demonstrated that ‘political correctness’ now takes precedence over academic content or scientific consistency as a determinant of publication. Valid criticisms of reviewers led to the correction of what errors the papers contained.
