Super risky IPO for a product that has limited appeal to a niche audience at a premium price. Not really surprising that it didn't go ahead.

Who's this Howarth chap? Could he be the same Paul Howarth linked to:

QuoteIn June 2011, the Company acquired the Gorilla Project. The purchase price for the property was $44,000 USD.  The project consists of 400 hectares (one hectares equals 2.47 acres) located in Loreto, Peru (Northern Peru).   

The Gorilla Project operation involves alluvial mining of gold from the deposits of sand and gravel usually left from modern or ancient stream beds.

American Mining firm with a strong presence in Peru. I'm having to assume up to no good here because it's an American mining firm in Peru.

Yeah, after that line I knew I'd need a couple of changes of pants to get through the first page, let alone the thread.

Its a bunch of libertarian who decided being a garden variety Ayn Rand sociopath wasnt edgy enough. Also skimming their manifesto about half of it is about the genetic inferiority of black people with mentions of "states rights" sprinkled in.

Dark Enlightenment weenies are fun.

I will say this: many are surprisingly open to civil conversation, even with people they are obviously never going to convert to the "cause".  Which does make me wonder how much of their pompous posturing is a desperate plea for attention....
