1. How does Zig Forums, a racist message board linked to the gun massacres in New Zealand and Pittsburgh, generate enough cash to operate?
Let's follow the money.

2. Zig Forums is owned by Jim Watkins, a pig farmer in the Philippines. Watkins avoids a lot of the problems other racist sites run into by providing most of Zig Forums's services, including domain hosting, through his own company, NT Technolog
3. But it's still expensive to run a website. You need to pay for servers, bandwidth, and staff. So Watkins needs an outside source of cash. So he operates a number of other websites through NT Technologies.
4. The most important of the other sites Watkins runs is books.audio . It sells audio books, including some about sex vacations in the Philippines narrated by Watkins himself Watkins picture is featured on book.audio as a narrator
5. Watkins then sells these audio books on Zig Forums and other websites, including The Goldwater. But Watkins doesn't sell them directly. They are purchased through Amazon. For each sale, Watkins (and therefore Zig Forums) gets a cut.
6. Watkins' books are also available through Amazon's Audible subsidiary. If a new Audible customer starts with one of Watkins' books, he gets a $75 bonus.
7. So that's how @amazon, the most valuable company in the world, helps fund Zig Forums, a wellspring of racism, violence, and criminal activity online and in the physical world.

I'd tread lightly around any sex vacation referenced by that dude. Does he specify the species involved?
celt…

This guy looks like a creepy uncle. There is a reason he moved to the Philippines and it wasnt to be a pig farmer. 😳
