Welcome to the Torrentocracy

Praise from the American Press Institute's Media Center for this blog:

This is one of the biggest stories independent online journalists have had an impact on since the Trent Lott affair.

In that spirit, here's something for you advanced users to try.

Bit Torrent whiz Gary Lerhaupt is integrating the Crown of Peace video into his new Torrentocracy system -- a project that will allow you to download the video onto your television set, if you're running his open-source digital TV software. He calls it "TiVo on steroids."

Here's the link:

If you're still confused by this Bit Torrent stuff, click here. We're using state-of-the-art peer-to-peer software to keep information alive that many would rather see in a computer's Recycle Bin, rather than exposed to the public.

Web This story

"John Gorenfeld: The first man on the Moon"
-- Ana Marie Cox ("Wonkette," Time.com Washington editor)

"Thanks to the superb reporting of John Gorenfeld on Salon.com and his indispensable Web page, Moon's shenanigans are routinely scrutinized. Maybe some of Gorenfeld's discernment will rub off on preachers and politicians."
-- Tony Norman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist

"The scene summoned the moment in Robert Graves's "I, Claudius" when Emperor Caligula declares himself a god in the Roman Senate; a fawning solon instantly offers a prayer."
-- New York Times editorial on the Crown of Peace scandal

"I am happy that our work is being challenged and improved in consistency, openness and coordination, by the accountability your spotlight demands. I am not talking about simply removing stuff from websites..."
-- Moon spokesman the Rev. Phil Schanker

"Instead of welcoming Reverend Moon, this government put me into prison. History will reveal the truth in the future and the American government and people will realize what an evil thing they did. What will they do then? They will bow down. Again, that is the way of natural subjugation." -- Moon in 1987

"A political movement basing its appeal on old fashioned patriotism and family values simply cannot justify an alliance with a cult that preys on the disintegration of the American family and advocates allegiance to an international social order operating with cell-like secrecy."
-- Rep. Jim Leach (R-IA)
