"It has come to our attention that a respected leader of our small online enclave has betrayed the trust many people have instilled in him over the past years. We are stunned at these revelations like everyone else. It was with much internal debate and emotional pain that we decided as a group that we had to release the information to the community. "

"The sicknesses that pervade contemporary Western society cry out for the radically virtuous alternative of normative humanism offered by Erich Fromm. Examination of the concrete conditions of life under capitalist institutions reveals a complex of psychological pathologies, the sum of which engenders an absolutely alienated existence.

The horror that the Syrian people are living is the horror of the imperial intervention, of the select world of capital. ... I wish you a refreshing bath of conscience, I wish that you may be able to try out looking at others eye to eye, I wish that the Spring of truth makes life more humane for you."
