Website title:

someone just sent me this anonymousely. It`s written by Peter Jassim who changed his name to BetBassoo because it would APPEAR more Assyrian and less Muslim. It`s fairly close to being a rough draft chapter of Mein Kampf by that other purist idiot. I barely got through it the first time without gagging. It has to be studied carefully, not for it`s own value, it has none..but sort of as a scat...you know, scatology..the study of turds to determined what the fuck kind of an animal dumped them...this one can lay there and stink for awhile..I`m too weak to attaend to it now. Should have guessed it though...the first thing you think when you meet Peter is that he just came from a mugging in which 14 ghairy apes kicked the crap out of him and he`s still reeling...smiling like a gofball...the guy is nuts I swear....

here tis...............I gather the first part is an intro to whomever he favored with this crap...then comes the crap.
