Biography
Several months after his birth in the New Jersey town of Bridgeton to a 15-year-old mother, Alan Cabal was adopted by Albert and Elizabeth Cabal, respectively, a chemical engineer and a housewife; they raised him in Camden, New Jersey. Cabal was a child actor in the theatre, performing on and off Broadway.
As a writer, he is best-known for his contributions to New York City's alternative weekly newspaper New York Press, but he is also known under the pseudonym Garbled Uplink at High Times magazine where he was formerly a columnist. He has written for other publications, such as Gallery magazine, and contributes to High Times magazine as a book reviewer and occasionally to CounterPunch, a biweekly newsletter. He also appeared on The Patty Duke Show and plays in the White Courtesy Telephone rock band.
His sympathetic article on holocaust denier Ernst Zündel in CounterPunch titled "Star Chamber Redux: the Prosecution of Zundel", attracted attention from internet forums and blogs and from the Jeff Rense radio show, which Zundel called "an amazing break-through" in a letter to the Adelaide Institute.
Cabal said he resigned from the New York Press in a March, 2005 blog post. Cabal's last article for the Press appeared in January, 2005.
