Hakim Bey on Coast2Coast

Coast-to-Coast with George Noory might be the least likely place one would expect Hakim Bey to pop up in. (DUH-- as in, author of: Temporary Autonomous Zone--only the single best slab of written-down radicalism in the last thirty years!)

But why not? Been a while! Think he was gonna stay stuck in muddy little zine backwaters forever?

Bey has been pretty quiet for many a year now--last rumored to be spending summers at Dreamtime Village in Wisconsin (now defunct?).

Looks like our venerable anarchognostic poet-philosopher has been piling up the research all along, witness this new site, mu-atlantis.com. Selling PDF books, compilations, as best I can tell without having read any yet, of decades of accumulated lore... That whole 'Moorish Orthodox Church' thing he's been into, never quite got it, but maybe now this datadump will make things clearer. Blurb on Art Bell's site says:

"Hakim Bey will discuss his work on the real history of North America-- how it was populated by vast global civilizations and connected to Mu/Lemuria, and Atlantis."

Mu-Atlantean theories won't earn Mr. Bey any kudos from the frustymusty anarchopunkists, but then who cares?

Correction! Hakim Bey Not Hakim Bey!

Or so the author of Mu-Atlantis.com says. So I may have jumped the gun. Maybe this Hakim Bey is someone other than Peter Lamborn Wilson, real name of the TAZ author. It's weird tho, cuz PLW was always into the Moorish Orthodox Church, and some of these same topics... tho never expounded at length on mu-atlantis, that I can recall. There you go-- the poor fact-checking skills of bloggers, a classic example!
