Who is alan caruba

Among his clients were those involved in the chemical and pest control sectors. In addition to his PR work, Caruba authored several books and wrote a column, "Warning Signs," that was disseminated on many Internet news and opinion websites, as well as blogs.

Caruba was a founding member and charter member of the National Book Critics Circle. The speaker lineup featured many well-known profiles in the food and pest industries, including: Craig Henry, Ph.

In , identifying himself as a Public Relations Counselor, he wrote that there was nothing wrong with PR professionals producing PR materials, as long as they disclosed that this was what they were doing:. Many NASW [National Association of Science Writers] members, including myself, function both in the field of public relations and independently as authors of factual articles and other literary materials.

So long as we properly identify ourselves as regards these separate activities, nothing, I know of can or should forbid us the right to pursue these two activities.

In a January column, Caruba railed against the decision by the Scripps Howard News Service to drop Michael Fumento as a columnist after Businessweek revealed he had been funded by Monsanto for his book BioEvolution. Arguing that the book was accurate Caruba described the Businessweek article as "nothing to do with his ethics and everything to do with a leftist attack intended to smear his reputation and hopefully remove a leading critic of environmentalism and other manifestations of dubious science intended to frighten people.

He also believes public education is part of this vast conspiracy although, in stopped clock mode, he does slam schools for focusing too much on rote memorization instead of comprehension.

He also really hates Mexicans and Muslims. According to Caruba, we must secure the border before illegal immigration destroys the fabric of our society, Islamofascism is just around the corner, and the UN is an enabler of the Muslims' secret plots. We must also be wary of the dreadful homosexual agenda. Caruba is something of an acolyte of Robert W. Felix , whose books and pseudoscientific brand of catastrophism he promotes. Caruba frequently cross-posts to Felix's Ice Age Now site, which shorts out irony meters as he whines about the "alarmism" of global warming proponents while predicting an imminent and likely catastrophic ice age.

He is also a semi- birther. He says he doesn't really care about the birth certificate as such but believes in the pseudolegal theory that Barack Obama is not eligible to be president because his father was not a natural-born citizen. His writings mostly appear on fringe wingnut sites, largely Canada Free Press , though he occasionally gets some play in the bigger wingnut outlets like the Moonie Times.
