Nightmoves is an underground alternative news and entertainment magazine published in suburban Houston, Texas. The print edition contains listings of venues and entertainment events, along with articles that are heavily laced with humor, conspiracy theories, and counterculture. Published by Gator Press [1], the monthly press run of 25,000 copies sells out at $1 per copy within a few days of publication.[citation needed]
[edit] History
In 2002, Night Moves took the position that Iraq did not possess weapons of mass destruction, and that the coming invasion of Iraq would turn into a quagmire. Because the publication is distributed in an area that largely supports Bush, threats and vandalism against the publishing company became common, and continued through 2004. The owner of the company, who calls himself "Gator", is a retired veteran of the U S Navy who describes himself as a "late blooming hippie". He once awarded $100 bonuses to all employees who tested positive for marijuana use. The publication refuses to employ salespeople, and no longer accepts any new advertising, under a strategy Miller refers to as "zero growth". He explained in a recent interview that he is not anti-capitalist, merely lazy. In spite of this, the magazine has broken new ground - particularly in the use of biometrics (facial recognition technology) to scientifically examine Warren Commission photos and JFK autopsy pictures. According to the magazine's copyrighted research, patrolman J. D. Tippit's body was the one used in the JFK autopsy - based on the results of biometric technology now used by the US Government to identify terrorist suspects. [2] Nightmoves also consulted an expert in actuarial science to calculate the odds regarding the mysterious deaths of microbiologists - and reached the startling conclusion that the odds that these people died due to mere chance was a staggering 14,000,000,000 to 1.[3] Gator Press has published firsthand accounts from eyewitnesses to the Waco fire [4], and has researched and published comprehensive reports on electronic voting fraud [5], assassinations, and corporate conspiracies. Subjects as diverse as the hollow Earth theory [6]and the possible escape of Hitler to South America [7] have also been well-researched and concisely written.
