Maybe frustration or much to much spare time.

Let's estimate the risk.
If I reckon 25$ a kilo retail price for unclassified old chondrites,
then the terrorists would have only to find 300 metric tons and they can buy
a brand-new tank, model "Puma", in Germany!

Unfortunately all registered meteorites on Earth and in history weigh
together only 700 tons, whereof 90% are the 20 largest iron meteorites,
and Sahara is poor in iron meteorites.

And if they sell the 100kg of eucrites, which were found in this 10 years
hunting in whole Sahara, they can afford to shoot with their new toy for a
few times...

But maybe, maybe they are right? Have you noticed, since Gaddafi was
suddenly a good guy - no meteorites were found anymore in Libya....
Maybe that's the reason why they made laws, that no more meteorites should
be found in Australia?

conspiree & conspiraaah..

Martin

I have seen the site before also... It makes me wonder what motivation they
have for such comments.
Im sure the big oil companies contribute far more to terrorism then the
meteorite trade, but I think meteorites are an easier target due to the fact
that they dont have high dollar lawyers.

Here is a somewhat sad email that I received from a new ebay NWA customer
last week. Like a majority of new collectors nowadays he started out on ebay
and was doing research on meteorite to advance his meteorite knowledge and
this website showed up telling him that terrorists were supporting NWA.
After explaining to him how big of slimeballs these guys are and that they
are outcasts in the meteorite community (Even banned from what I would
consider the worlds most important meteorite auction - bloods tucson
auction) he is OK with collecting again.

I had somebody in my shop about two months ago who is a new meteorite
customer and he also found this site doing research and he said (To Quote)
"All NWA meteorites are found by terrorists - there are no legitimate
finds".
I realize that anybody can put up a website and spew out garbage (Look at
all the anti sematic, pedophile and other sites out there) and the Pelisson
website in my opinion falls into this catagory with the garbage. Anybody
involved in meteorites is being damaged by new collectors reading this
garbage and not knowing the difference.
I dont have solutions because I cant force that website down but anything
possible the meteorite community should do
Few places in the world has benefited the poor locals more than NWA
meteorites and new collectors should know that and not worry that they are
supporting terrorists.
Sincerely
DEAN BESSEY

? ? Thanks.? If you've shipped my purchase OK, if not yet, please wait until
you have read this website and given me your thoughts. Thank you very much.
