Mr. Pellison,
Bruno Fectay and I don't often see eye to eye, neither of us will likely
send the other a Christmas card, but we agree on one thing, and that is that
you are the biggest threat to the meteorite world.
I mean come on, Bin Laden actually organizing the meteorite trade in
Morocco? A guy with tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, and he needs to
meddle with the pathetic meteorite trade? Please............
         As far as the "kind Nomads" who shared tea with me, they were very
nice nomads, and as you well know, Nomads are in no shortage anywhere in the
Moroccan Sahara. They live there, it is not my concern where they live or
why, there were many of them, I sat in their home, ate their food, played
with their children. Are you now suggesting that they are terrorists? Maybe
they don't like being harassed by military, like most people in the world.
Maybe they don't like that fact that just about every Moroccan soldier or
policeman want Baksheesh (bribes) for everything from looking at them wrong
to walking on the side of the road.
Maybe you should seek medical help, you are obsessed with the idea that you
and only you can find meteorites.

By the way, you have answered absolutely NONE of the questions posed to you
by many members of this community. Why? No answer usually suggest guilt, or
lack of a good answer to support your case.

Mr. Fectay, we have still answered about these points (see below).

But could you explain to the list why when people make a search on
google.com with the french words :
"Mike Farmer meteorites illegales"
or
"Alain Carion meteorites illegales"

They arrive on your answer to a journalist at who you explain :
http://www.maroc-hebdo.press.ma/MHinternet/Archives_575/html_575/4rue.html
"vous pourriez citer d'autres personnes qui, elles n'ont pas de preuves
d'export: Mike Farmer (m?t?orite lunaire d'un kilo), les fr?res Pellisson
qui ont
500 Kg de m?t?orites marocaines ill?gales, Alain Carion qui a des centaines
de kilos de m?t?orites du Maroc, etc. Nous attendons votre r?action avant
de
saisir l'avocat de notre soci?t?. Pour faire Valoir ce que de droit."
Bruno Fectay

Perhaps could you translate in English your answer to this journalist and
share with the list your idea of what is "the best of hypocrisy"


------------

About our web page, when we see the misadventure which happened at Mike
during his last trip, it's natural to ask the question :

Who are these "kind" nomads who share the tea with him one day, and the
other day drive at full speed in a military place to escape at a patrol
with the
risk to explode in a minefield or to be shoot by another patrol?

What his the reason of their quick change of attitude when they have been
discovered at 2 km of the Algeria border, near the mined wall?

See Mike recent email, title :
[meteorite-list] Morocco new fall news
> We had planned a
> careful search, but one of the Moroccans spotted a military patrol coming
so
> we packed up quickly and fled. It is very flat there, nowhere to hide.
They
