      I don't know if the kooks have this paper conspiracy magazine on their web sites but _this_ one is a must for all kookologists to acquire a paper copy of if they can get it for free. Honestly I can't imagine the kooks putting such stuff on their web sites since I'd expect they would want to keep it disseminated solely among fellow kooks.
