After a long lull, the pace is picking up again. It is
literally just a few hours after I posted the above background article yet a
lot has happened. Cosimo Books, the current publisher of Left At East Gate, posted an announcement that it was withdrawing
Peter Robbins' and Larry Warren's title from sale, see: http://cosimoblog.blogspot.co.uk/2017/10/announcement-left-at-east-gate.html?m=1.
The only sentence that has any meaning in this screed of bureaucratic flannel is:
"...it has been brought to our
attention that some of the experiences described in this book may be inaccurate
or embellished." This means Peter has told them about his misgivings,
the ones I disagree with and explain why here: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/the-larry-warren-controversy-part-16.html.
I know several people have been trying to put Cosimo straight with the
information I and many others have gathered, but they don't want to know, which
means when they add: "...until the situation surrounding it has
been clarified to our satisfaction." they don't really mean it.
They've made up their mind. Just a few days earlier Halt in Woodbridge was withdrawn too, see: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Halt-Woodbridge-Thirty-Year-Authentic-Whistle-Blower/dp/1517447216.
This is a self-published title by Peter Robbins so it must have been his own
decision. With the article in yesterday's Daily Record newspaper article as well, this is starting to
feel like a coordinated offensive. When this happened Nigel Mortimer posted a
photograph of himself holding his copy of LAEG
as a statement of support and solidarity with Larry Warren and he encouraged
others to do the same. The illustration above is my contribution. The backlash
I've had for doing this is worse than I expected; far more than I usually get
from the articles in this series. I've had an email from somebody I've never
heard of before saying: "Shame on you!" It seems that "shame on
you!" is a Truth Mob cliché. I've yet to come across an example where it
is not repeated over and over again by Truth-mobbers at all those #BadPeople
who refuse to join them in their obsession. This reveals something about the
psychology of the Larry Warren Hate Cult along with their multitude of appeasers,
fellow travellers and general hangers-on. When a visual image causes more of a
reaction than a factual argument then it is a further sign of their inherent
irrationality.
In response to these developments, Larry Warren has issued a
public statement about his book:
"Statement
regarding the suspension of the book Left
At East Gate by its publisher Cosimo Books, New York , New York
When I began the
process of writing the book that would eventually be called Left At East Gate in 1986, my sole aim
was to bring attention to the very real events of December 1980. I eventually
brought in a coauthor by the name of Peter Robbins. After eleven hard years,
and too much money to mention spent, I was and remain proud that: 1. I was able
to get it published in the first place. 2. I am also proud that the book was
and remains the TRUE story of how these very real events became public
knowledge. I wish to thank Whitley Strieber for encouraging me as early as 1985
to write my own story in book form, because as early as 1985 my story had been
misrepresented in numerous books and articles. I wished only to set my record
straight with the best evidence I could possibly secure; I believe I did just
that.
Over the last two and
a half years I have been attacked by a minority of internet-based trolls who
have twisted and turned fact into fiction in such a way that most SANE people
viewing their activities would run for the hills of confusion, this is
understood. My former coauthor Peter Robbins last year decided, for whatever
reason, to jump into bed with the trolls I have mentioned; thus I group him
with them in the underhanded actions that have led my publisher Cosimo Books,
New York, New York to suspend the title. Over the last two weeks I and others
have been in communication with said publisher, his respond to the overwhelming
evidence to the contrary has been minimal to nil. For the record I, in response
to my publisher's initial message to suspend the title, told him not to bother.
The book has been in print for twenty years; it served its purpose, but with the
passage of time is outdated as far as I am concerned. Further to that, I
informed my publisher that I would rather him drop the title altogether as I am
involved in contemporary projects that I believe will take these most serious
events known as the Rendlesham

The LWHC et al are
greeting this news in the usual way, cheering on Cosimo for their decision and
gloating all over social media about it. I would ask anybody with any remaining
sense of logical and ethical standards to look at what these people are doing
and think carefully about whether you really want to be a part of this, or even
just stand by and let it happen without opposing it.
