Lew Rockwell Egg-Heads?

I got a very “interesting” email this morning from a “Don Templeton” of Blue Falcon Press. You can look up that site and check out his blog post titled “Dear Jack Perry” which he helpfully brought to my attention in his email.

What happened is this: Yesterday, I posted on the LRC Blog a post titled “Deep Kimchi Ahead”. I used the name “Don” in it and this Don Templeton, for some weird reason, thought I was talking to him. For the record, Don (Templeton), the “Don” I was referring to was DONald Trump. Okay? Get it? No one was talking to YOU. I didn’t even know who you were until you emailed me and pointed out the rather fascinating blasting of me on your blog.

Be that as it may, why did you take offense at all? After all, “Don” is not your real name, is it? You say so yourself on your site. Look, I get it. We all have pen names to avoid the “Misery” scenario. And we’ve all got gigs as ghost writers which are also called “Creative Content Writers”. It pays the bills. I’ve been a fictitious female CEO for a cleaning supplies company on one gig. I even saw an ad on Craigslist last year looking for a “Creative Content Writer” for the Donald Trump campaign. So, look, I get it.

However, your blasting of the Lew Rockwell site and its writers because we don’t espouse violence against the State? Ok, Don (or whoever) there are two categories for people that do that: Number One is people being watched by the FBI and on their way to federal prison (because they rarely try and shoot it out with the cops as they all brag they’ll do.) Number Two are actual FBI “Sting” operations trying to lure the would-be and wanna-be tough guys into saying something that can be construed as a threat so THEY can be arrested. That’s how the FBI caught all those so-called Muslim terrorists.

People that engage in violence against the government end up in jail or dead. Period. What, Don, do you think the FBI hasn’t been tracking this crap you say? I guarantee they know everything you’ve said and everything you’ve bought longer than you remember. Just because you wrote three Mack Bolan books doesn’t mean they think you’re harmless. Now, as far as the writers on Lew Rockwell, maybe some are professors, I don’t know. I don’t even have a degree because I’ve never been to college. But your main beef with them appears to be because they talk and don’t do. Well, we know where the “doers” are, don’t we? In jail or dead.

As for myself, my opposition to violence is not political. It’s religious. If you want to blame me for that, I am happy you did. But one thing I will say is this: Your scenario of masses of people rising up and lynching the politicians simply isn’t going to happen. They have two supercomputers (Carnivore and Echelon) which will catch everyone talking about it and a literal army of robots called drones to wipe out the perpetrators before they even got out of their driveway. Not to mention they’ll have picked up and “turned” at least two people in the group to tip them off. On top of the two informants already there from the beginning. My gosh, you say you were in SOCOM and you don’t know all of this?

As long as the American people have cheap beer, fast cars, loud motorcycles, constant music, violent TV shows, prescription painkillers, and cheap processed food, they don’t care who runs this open-air ant colony. The Lew Rockwell site is a teaching site. So, if we’re egg-heads for whatever, so be it. We’re writers. And so are you. You’re a fiction writer, Don. You have an active imagination. Just remember the FBI doesn’t necessarily see it that way.

The Best of Jack Perry
