Slovenian Meejah Hor

I have agreed to do some more publicity for the Freemasons On Trial documentary, but only because it is publicity for Slovenia. The countries that emerged from the Yugoslav Wars of Dissolution have a special place in my personal history. I get a certain kick out of being translated into Slovenian, Serbian, Croatian, Bosniak, Montenegrin, Macedonian and Albanian, (that list alone should tell you an awful lot about the Dissolution Wars).

This means that when I get an interview request for ‘the most read Slovenian print medium’ and it ends ‘I send you best regards from Slovenia’ I feel like being incredibly helpful. I am not sure whether I can be classed as a Slovenian Meejah hor as there is no money or other discernible benefit to myself involved in giving an interview*. Still, I am sure it will give my Slovenian acquaintances something to chuckle about.

*Dosjeji Zarot is still in print in Slovenia, but neither Kid Dork nor I are getting any royalties.

Spouting Incoherently About Freemasonry

In the end I did do a little publicity for the première of Freemasons On Trial in India. How could I refuse an interview to a Mumbai news organisation that began with the question: ‘How did this community originate and what is the grave suspense that surrounds this community?’

Grave suspense? How could I refuse a feed line like that?

The documentary premières in this country on April 1st. I will not be doing any publicity for it in the British Isles. For those readers of this blog who want to see a bloated, long-haired, one-eyed author/meejah hor in a leather trenchcoat, filmed against a South London wall spouting incoherently about Freemasonry in an Essex barrow boy accent on what otherwise could look like a 100 minutes of pro-Freemasonry propaganda, tune you boxes to National Geographic Channel at 10pm.
