He wrote a book? He thinks people will buy this book? WHY?

Seems legit. You could probably ask Papadopoulos to make change for a twenty and dupe him into giving you back fifty in the exchange. So yeah, duped.

“They tricked me!” shouted the man married to a Russian spy pretending to be Italian.

The only duping going on here was self-inflicted–indeed, the word is in the middle of his last name.

Papa-dupe-oulos.

Self-published on Kindle, I guarantee. You scribble out your maunderings, hit return and it’s available for sale in under five minutes. Costs you not a cent. Which is about what any real publisher would give him for this. There’s a lot of gullible wingnuts out there but he wouldn’t sell 20 copies of a real book.

World Net Daily will offer to upgrade you to their Premium Insider club and reward you with a copy of crap like this. All the wingnuts inflate their books sales this way, as various Righty organizations hawk crappy, overpriced perks and deliver such books, which they buy by the pallet for a few pennies a copy.

So Papadope didn’t have legal counsel, or council?

Actually it seems this book is out of Diversion Books, which is one of a new trend of literary agents developing side gigs by using the new self-publishing options to get a few nickels out of books they couldn’t place with the rapidly shrinking traditional publishing houses. They’re vague on their own site about how it works but my guess is they offer a variety of packages and one would be that for a lump sum, $500 or so, they’ll do some minimal publicity stuff for you. Bottom feeders but not exactly scammers. It’s the literary equivalent of a rickety produce shack on the outskirts of town, or one of those stores that sells odd lots of furniture, appliances, no-name household goods and such.

The FBI is infamous for duping desperate morons. The Liberty City Seven comes immediately to mind. Hell, every islamic terrorism case since 9/11 has been a case of CI’s roping desperate morons into terror plots wholly created by the FBI to “prove” they are keeping Americans “safe”, thus justifying their massive budgets and massive, unconstitutional domestic spying infrastructure. So Georgie boy may be right; but in order to be right he has to admit that he is a desperate moron…

Once again, Groucho Marx had it right: “This man may talk like an idiot and he may look like an idiot, but don’t let that fool you. He really is an idiot.”

The Sunday Times Book Review now puts notations next to book titles that have been bought in large block amounts to notify the public that the book is essentially a propaganda piece being pumped up by some political organization. I wish other papers that base their Sunday book review sections on the Times would do the same, it would be quite edifying I’m sure to the vast gullible public.

The FBI will. So he’s got that going for him.
