Georgist fabrications

"Maybe it was published in a journal or newspaper. Maybe it was
sent to Gorbachev directly. 1990 is pre-WWW."
-------------------------------

But it purports to be an open letter, which would have to mean it
was published in some forum in 1990. That is the ordinary
meaning of the term, "open letter." They should be able to cite that
publication precisely so it might be verified. If it was actually
published in 1990 it shouldn't be difficult to do. The burden of
proof is on them. Presumably they know what that publication
was.
Here's what I think we will actually find. There may have in fact
been an open letter to Gorbachev published in 1990, but it certainly
doesn't contain the names of the four "Nobel laureates." It contains
the names of obscure Georgists, some of whom may have been in
academic positions of some sort.
The names of the four "Nobel laureates" were added latter without
their knowledge. In other words, at that point the document
became a forgery and a hoax.
Now, the forgery is compounded egregiously when certain
Georgists (we know who one is because he has admitted it) excerpt
sentences from the document, place them in quotation marks,
under which they place the name of one of the four, implying that
the words are individually his, repeated on the Internet ad finitum
in Georgist propaganda.
All the Georgists have to do to prove me wrong is to cite the
original document from 1990, can't they?
But they won't do that.
Just watch.
