DeGregori is the author of the book, Bountiful Harvest (October 2002 - Cato Institute) which has been described as 'debunking the myths of frankenfood'. According to the blurb, 'In this provocative new book, Thomas R. DeGregori debunks anti-science environmental activists, and lays out the case for employing modern technology in modern agriculture. DeGregori argues that innovations such as bioengineered foods have increased life expectancy, crop yields and generally improved human well-being.'

*Genetically modified nonsenseThomas R. DeGregori, "Genetically modified nonsense", Institute of Economic Affairs, undated, accessed February 2009.

==Erminegate==
In January 2009 Lord Taylor of Blackburn was one of four peers who allegedly agreed to accept money from undercover Sunday Times reporters, who were posing as business lobbyists, in return for amending legislation. Both Lord Taylor of Blackburn and Lord Truscott were suspended for six months from the House of Lords for their role in what became know as the 'erminegate' affair. Lord Moonie and Lord Snape were both cleared by the Lords Privileges Committee but were invited to apologise for their "inappropriate attitudes".'Two Labour peers face suspension', BBC, 14 May 2009.
Lord Taylor allegedly admitted that he had previously helped to amend a law on behalf of a client. Lord Taylor discussed a £120,000 retainer fee with the undercover Sunday Times reporters and said "I will work within the rules, but the rules are meant to be bent sometimes."

Thomas Thornton

Thomas Perry Thornton was an early writer on terorism.
==Background==
Described as the 'single most seminal article on terrorism'Political Terrorism: A New Guide to Actors, Authors, Concepts, Data Bases, Theories, & Literature By Alex Peter Schmid, A. J. Jongman, Michael Stohl Published by Transaction Publishers, 2005 - Google Books Result , Thornton developed a typology of the proximate objectives of terrorism:
#. morale-building (within the terrorist movement itself as well as in that element of the population that is already sympathetic to the insurgents)
#. advertising (not only calls attention to the existence of the insurgents but also serves as a reminder of their program and ideals ... The advertising function differs from morale-building in that it is directed towards a mass audience)
#. disorientation (the objective par excellance of the terrorist, removing the underpinnings of the order in which his targets live out their daily lives)
#. elimination of opposing forces (either physically or by neutralizing their effectiveness. In one sense, this is a byproduct of terror, for the aim in itself is not symbolic, it could be accomplished by murder) ... From elimination of a harmful individual, not only will general disorientation be promoted, but a more specific fear will be instilled into the group to which the victims belongs
#. provocation of countermeasures by the incumbents (in combating an elusive terrorist, the incumbents will be forced to take measures that affect not only the terrorist but also his environment, the society as a whole. Although this result may be incidental to the aims of some terrorists, terroristic acts often are committed with the express purpose of provoking reprisals).Typologies du terrorisme, accessed 7 January 2009

==The 'myth' of Islamophobia==
After the November 2015 Paris terror attacks, Black argued in a Spiked Online article that concerns about increased Islamophobia in such contexts was not borne out by reality. He wrote:
: "And yet the backlash, Islam's night and no doubt day of broken glass, never arrives. There never is an anti-Muslim pogrom. There never is a mass eruption of spitting, niqab-renting hatred. Some nasty graffiti and unpleasant tweets, yes; perhaps, lamentably, a fire at a mosque; and even the odd, isolated physical attack on Muslim for no other reason than the fact he or she is a Muslim. But the actual anti-Muslim backlash, the actual fulfilment of Islamaphobia proponents' wet nightmares, the actual mass assault on each and every Muslim.... it continues to lack reality.'

Tim Collins (Ex-army)

N.B. Last updated in 2010.
Colonel (retd) Tim Collins OBE (born Belfast, Northern Ireland, April 1960) is a former officer in the British Army. He gained prominence around the time of the the Iraq War following an eve-of-battle speech which the media declared 'inspirational'. The speech received much praise -- not least from Tim Collins himself -- and a copy of reportedly hangs in the White House's Oval Office.Iraq war colonel awarded OBE, BBC News, 7 April 2004 The speech's theme of liberation vs. conquest, and its oft quoted line ('If you are ferocious in battle remember to be magnanimous in victory'), however, appear to be borrowed from a speech by Comte de Bourmont who on the eve of the colonization of Algeria in May 1830 perorated in front of the amassed troops: 'merciless in combat, you must be compassionate and magnanimous after victory...the Arab will see you as liberators'.Text of de Bourmont's speech in Robert Fisk, The Great War for Civilization (Harper Collins: London 2005) p.636
By 2005 he was to make a complete about-face on his assessment of the invasion, arguing it has 'acted as the best recruiting sergeant for al-Qaeda ever'. He called it a "catastrophe" and a "right-rollicking cock-up".Tim Collins, This is a mess of our own making, The Observer, 18 September 2005
More recently Collins has engaged in pro-Israel propaganda activities including attempts to white-wash Israeli war crimes in Gaza during its 2008-2009 Operation Cast Lead.Celebrated Iraq war veteran's view of the Gaza conflict, BBC News, 19 January 2010 The film, in which he (literally) compares bullet holes in the walls of the Israeli town of Sderot with wholesale destruction in Gaza he ends by giving Israel a clean bill of health because 'it is not as bad for instance as Fallujah, and certainly not as bad as Ramadi'.Celebrated Iraq war veteran's view of the Gaza conflict, BBC News, 19 January 2010 The VNR was produced for the BBC's flagship Newsnight by a company called ConflictZones, yet the company has produced nothing besides this short film. Curiously, the company has no other information available on its website (which is a single page about the film) beside a generic email address. The company has also employed a domain anonymizing service to register its domain name, an odd precaution for a film-maker.ConflictZones accessed 1 February 2010
