Typepad censors deleting my content: plutonomy part 2

In October 2009 I posted the citigroup plutonomy memo mentioned in Michael Moore's capitalism movie.

I got the following email yesterday (I never received the first email "Jen" claims to have sent). If you don't feel like reading all the stuff below, the bottom line is that Typepad deleted the pdf that I posted. It's part 2. I haven't found another pdf to part 2 (I saw one that said part 2 but it was part 1; I'm also in Turkey right now and some of the sites I've tried to access seem to be firewalled). If anyone finds a viable link, please send it.

Your request (#22674) has been updated.

You can add a comment by replying to this email.
