What are freedom fighters really fighting?

Thomas Ligotti

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Rarely does an artist spark my interest with minimal exposure in the way I now find myself lost to Ligotti’s “special plan” - any plans I had for my own creative pursuits can only be described as Ligotti knock-offs.

Do you share my penchant for declassified information? How about classified information?
If someone has decided that you are not authorized to see it, there is a good chance that you should.
