with any of the events, I am just forwarding it

Dear Colleague:

The events which I want you to tell about are so outrageous, that one should 
see it to believe. There will be several mailings with facts and documents.
I have little time left because on August 25 I will be in jail for contenpt
of court, so I need to do the mailing really fast. I have no time for editing 
so everything will be mailed exactly as it was distributed originally  
in Montreal. 

I raise question of "scientific prostitution". The main difference 
between scientific prostitution and "honorary authorship" is that in the first 
case a completely bogus scientist, not capable of doing any research, hires 
somebody from developing countries or USSR by using governmental grant. 
This someone does research in which the parasite supervisor is included as 
co-author. The more publications this parasite accumulates, the greater grant
he gets, the more people he can hire, the more publications he gets, etc. 

M.N.S. Swamy is Dean of Engineering at Concordia, and classical example of  
such parasite. The second parasite of same kind is T.S.Sankar, who is President 
of Canadian society of Mechanical Engineering. I have included him in 35 
publications, in which he did not understand a word. For as long as I know 
him, he has not written a single paper himself.

I have filed a lawsuit against these two parasites, and since they have 
nothing to say about the merit of the matter, they filed a motion to put me 
in jail for contempt of court, this way they can get rid of me, and I shall 
not be able to fight the battle. I need your help. Speak up. The rector's 
e-mail address is pgreco@garnet.concordia.ca.

Thank you for your support, V.I. Fabrikant
