BUT there is nowwhat is called a PROFILE pay per readfor about 34 of his past essays.So, be glad someone was copying them.I am not against the principle of paying as such.But if the Indepedent has now gone pay per read in the neocapitaliststyle I am sure many hundreds, if not thousands of readers WILL NOT Pay to read him.Sooner or later someone at a  Univeristy will subscribeand then they can be forwarded to the rest of the worldl... where they should be...I really do have mixed feelings about it...after all thousands of words by CHomsky and many other worthy writers like Roy and Cockburn to name only the famous Do Appear for Free, and so I suspect ormy ire and anticapitalist sentiments are provoked thinking that the INDEPENDENT so called is now Cashing In.The wording on their site "we believe this work has an intrinsic value"!!!so youReaders GOtta Pay!!Anyhow,as for me,I wont pay.I will buy the book,to be really cynical!

Hello, well I am happy to see some responses to the
now
pay per read of Robert Fisky.
As for 5star hotels, I say well, if he stayed at Hotel Palestine,
well really I have nothing to say.
I would be disappointed, but it's none of my business where he stays.
Its not just Fisk by the way who you have to pay to read
on the Independent, it is about 12 writers.
As for his work being shown again at Counterpunch and Znet
well the two most recent of his articles are NOT
Posted but merely referred to in the Robert Fisk com site where his collected articles appear... BUT there is now
what is called a PROFILE pay per read
for about 34 of his past essays.
So, be glad someone was copying them.
I am not against the principle of paying as such.
But if the Indepedent has now gone pay per read in the neocapitalist
style I am sure many hundreds, if not thousands of readers
WILL NOT Pay to read him.
Sooner or later someone at a  Univeristy will subscribe
and then they can be forwarded to the rest of the worldl... where they should be...
I really do have mixed feelings about it...
after all thousands of words by CHomsky and many other worthy writers like Roy and Cockburn to name only the famous Do Appear for Free, and so I suspect or
my ire and anticapitalist sentiments are provoked thinking that the
INDEPENDENT so called is now Cashing In.
The wording on their site "we believe this work has an intrinsic value"!!!
so you
Readers GOtta Pay!!
Anyhow,
as for me,
I wont pay.
I will buy the book,
to be really cynical!
 
O, it s really all so terrible. capital
and capitalism
and the evil war
but anyhow,
speaking of Islamic revolutions
not many of the prophecies of Fisky have come true, and I really haave been reading his stuff
since the late 80's.
he predicted a Civil war in the USA if Bush went to war,
he was wrong there is nothing even
remotely suggesting a sort of civil war because of the baghad attack.
Americans have rallied to the Empire
andthe Imperium has struck gold.
Obviously the Rumsfeld gang does not care
about old libraires and books
anymore than they care about legs and arms of boys and girls.
so why
would they care
about the rest of things...
 
Anyhhow, I love Fisk's writing and if they print him in print,
I might just start to buy the paper!
Yikes!
Paper!~!!!
O mygod
is Fisk a Paper Tiger!!
 
Even ZNEt needs Money.
so does COunter Punch
and Middle East Report whose writing is as good
as anything Fisky writes.
 
I think Fisk is a saint , sort of.
 
Interesting, well, I think some clever blogger will get the things and pass em around,
cause
His stuff more
than any of the other writers of the so called Indepedent
are
Writing even
when I disagree with his particular interpretations of events.
for now,
and lets
see what happens.
FG
