> Sources examining the classified 28 pages of The 9/11 Commission report reveal that writer Don Delillo has been allegedly implicated in the orchestration of the September 11th attacks. Confidential sources allege the writer is the main focus of the classified pages which many are calling for Washington to make public.

> The controversial American writer, known for post-modern novels dealing with terrorism and nihilism has been alleged to have links to groups such as Al-Qaeda and Al-Asma and had potentially laundered literary prize award money. Sources will not disclose Delillo's exact role in the attacks but will say he had been subject of a long-standing FBI investigation which may still be on-going. The novelist's publicist has declined to comment and the author cannot be reached via social media.

> While his novels have been staples of college courses on Post-Modernism and Critical Theory, they are no stranger to controversy. In 1988 George Will in The Washington Post decried Delillo a "bad citizen" and described his novel Libra as "literary vandalism." Characterized by cold and dense language, his novels are populated with characters obsessed with themes of conspiracy and political violence. Delillo writes in his novel White Noise, "All plots move deathward."

> Delillo has established a cult following, especially among internet users, and many are questioning his possible motives and pointing to references in his novels that allegedly predict the September 11th attacks.

> One literary forum poster writes: "Read his books. It's right there. Either bin Laden or Donald Rumsfeld was reading Delillo. And I don't know if that's a bad thing." Others paint a more disturbing image: "I can think of only one other writer has gone out and killed so many people just to increase book sales. And that man's name was Adolf Hitler."

real question though, are people on /pol/ so stupid they don't click on the source even if it's given? I know reddit encourages only to read the headlines and go straight to the comments, but is it /pol/ co-opting reddit or reddit co-opting /pol/?

>Wallace was described by some friends and colleagues as racist. His friend Johnathon Franzen, the American author who helped him get published by Little, Brown and co, described him as "Nazi-esque", saying: "Every once in a while there'd be something about Jews and I'd be, 'But Dave, I'm Jewish,' and he was like 'Yes, yes, I don't mean you.' he had a definite Nordic Aryan streak, [the belief] that he was physically, spiritually and creatively superior", a view he appears to have continued to maintain throughout his later years. According to Franzen, Dave once attacked a mixed-race woman in a restaurant with a smashed wineglass, saying "I hate black people". During a book signing in Berlin, the crowd rioted after Dave read a passage from Hitlers book "Mein Kampf"

You mean, are people so stupid that they click on the provided link even though it is obviously very crude parody?

>On 18 July 2008, while on vacation on the Mediterranean island of Ibiza with his son Ari, Wallace had a heart attack while riding a bicycle, and he hit his head as he fell. A passing taxi driver found him unconscious, and he had difficulty getting him admitted to local hospitals. He was misdiagnosed as suffering from heat exposure. Later that year he committed suicide. The autopsy revealed a severe pre-existing cerebral hemorrhage.

Because the Washington Post is known to write things like "One literary forum poster writes..." in major breaking news articles.
