absolutely right and act on that basis can turn anything into a moral

Tons of pop culture, corporate media references, and political
literature present anarchism a sort of violent nihilism.  To one or
another extent, the century-plus long full spectrum saturation Big Lie
propaganda campaign against anarchism and anarchists affects everyone,
including self identifying anarchists.

To see working models of Frontier Justice in action, try participating
in independent groups that do organized events and actions, and watch
for this:  A petty tyrant who calls himself an anarchist shows up (it's
nearly always a guy) and must have his way - regardless of whether his
way cuts right across the grain of consensus activities already in
progress, alienate useful constituencies and alliances that took time
and effort to build, and/or etc.  He must have his way, and from his
ultimate moral high ground he can win any argument about that, one way

It's definitely not perfect. Just look at all the lynchings that took
place in the south after the civil war - nearly always of innocent
black men (although James would, ridiculously, argue otherwise).

It seems to me that "Frontier Justice" has historically been
justice at the whim of a whipped up mob. 

Now - does that make it any worse than the absurdly inhumane
mass incarceration and extrajudicial killings practiced by
state sponsored pigs all over the country today? Obviously, no ;)

I don't have a precise idea of how "justice" in an anarchist 
society would work, but it seems to me that there are a couple 
of things that are obvious. You have a right to protect your
person and and anyone else actively under attack, with whatever
force necessary.  Beyond that, I think total shunning of a bad actor
(refusing to participate in trade or any other aspect of the 
local society) might be the best way to get rid of them. Of course,
as with anything else, this system is also imperfect ;)

I still have a (very) badly worn paperwork that I picked up as a

Nick Haflinger was (to my mind) never quite as "cool" as Case
or Bobby Quine, but it's a damn good book, way ahead of it's time...
it predates the Gibson stuff by nearly a decade.

I've been re-reading Borges recently. His ruminations on infinity are
an interesting prelude to cyberpunk and modern sci-fi in general.
Gibson rather shamelessly stole "the aleph" (name and all!) from
Borges' short story written in the 30s (or 40s?) for Mona Lisa

We've been trying to explain for the past few months just how
absolutely insane the new EU Terrorist Content Regulation will be for
the internet. Among many other bad provisions, the big one is that it
would require content removal within one hour as long as any
"competent authority" within the EU sends a notice of content being
designated as "terrorist" content. The law is set for a vote in the EU
Parliament just next week. And as if they were attempting to show just
how absolutely insane the law would be for the internet, multiple
European agencies (we can debate if they're "competent") decided to
send over 500 totally bogus takedown demands to the Internet Archive
last week, claiming it was hosting terrorist propaganda content. [...]
And just in case you think that maybe the requests are somehow legit,
they are so obviously bogus that anyone with a browser would know they
are bogus. Included in the list of takedown demands are a bunch of the
Archive's "collection pages" including the entire Project Gutenberg
page of public domain texts, it's collection of over 15 million freely
downloadable texts, the famed Prelinger Archive of public domain films
and the Archive's massive Grateful Dead collection. Oh yeah, also a
page of CSPAN recordings. So much terrorist content!

RICHMOND, Va. -- The Virginia National Guardsman accused of stealing
an armored military vehicle from Fort Pickett and driving 60 miles to
Richmond last year recently took another trip that he should not have
made, according to investigators.

Court records obtained by CBS 6 showed that Joshua Yabut was able to
fly from Norfolk to Iraq two months ago. The trip violated the
conditions of his bond following his June 2018 joyride.

An employee of the Richmond Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office called
the Virginia Fusion Center on January 31, to report a suspicious
situation involving Yabut, according to a report in his case file.
Yabut, who has been wearing an electronic ankle device, is being
monitored by the Richmond Circuit Court Mental Health Docket.

On or about January 22, investigators said Yabut used his military ID
to board a plane at Naval Station Norfolk and fly to the naval air
station in Jacksonville, Florida.

Related Story

from stolen military vehicle

Court documents showed Yabut later took a commercial flight to
Charlotte, before flying to Toronto, and then on to Keflavik, Iceland.

>From there, Yabut flew to Berlin, and then to Istanbul, before
ultimately ending up in Iraq on January 26.

He flew back to Norfolk two days later, according to investigators.

Crime Insider sources tell CBS 6 that Yabut's ankle monitor was
attached when he boarded the flight to Jacksonville, but at some point
during the trip it was taken off.

Virginia National Guard Soldier Joshua Philip Yabut

“It’s both amazing and concerning,” said Blackstone Mayor Billy
Coleburn, who lives near Fort Pickett. “Not only did he fly, but he
took a military flight…. you would think in the military alone you
should be on a no-fly list.”

Coleburn, who is also the editor of the Courier-Record newspaper,
first learned about Yabut’s trip to Iraq last month.

That was around the time that Nottoway County Commonwealth’s Attorney
Terry Royall filed a motion to revoke Yabut’s bond and put him back
behind bars.

In that motion, Royall referenced the unauthorized trip, and also said
that Yabut’s “recent online activity reveals research into bomb
making.”

In addition to pictures posted on Twitter that showed Yabut at an
airport in Iraq, court documents stated that investigators had found
photos that “indicated Yabut had been looking into prices of having
Denatonium Benzoate shipped from China.”

liberated kurdistan pic.twitter.com/0BPvfmxUEQ

— جوش (@movrcx) January 29, 2019

Denatonium Benzoate is a bitter substance commonly found in household
cleaners and automotive products.

One court document also stated that Yabut’s Twitter page featured
postings and information related to Open Source Jihad and Al Qaeda,
specifically, magazine articles that discuss how to make pressure
cooker bombs and house to construct “train derailment devices.”

"I don't think there's any question to that, he presents a level of
threat," said Col. Matt Bristol, a retired Staff Judge Advocate for
the United States Air Force.

“It's hard to say if he's detached from reality."

Bristol, who is unconnected to the investigation, also expressed
concern about Yabut being able to leave the state, and the country.

“I’m surprised that he was able to board a military aircraft at
Norfolk Naval Air Station, not withstanding he was wearing an ankle
bracelet," Bristol said.

When reached for comment, a spokesman for the United States Air
Mobility Command said that they were aware that Yabut had flown out of
the Norfolk NAS terminal, but said that no investigation was
necessary, because military personnel and their dependents are allowed
to fly on Department of Defense planes that have available space.

CBS 6 also asked whether Yabut's ankle monitor should have been
detected by security before he boarded the flight.

"We don't discuss or disclose security procedures for the protection
of our missions and safety of all passengers," said Capt. Kenneth
Hicks, USAF, the deputy chief of media operations.

Yabut's military ID card was valid at the time of his flight. That is
no longer the case.

"First Lt. Yabut maintained his military identification card in order
to access his benefits to include potential medical care," said A.A.
"Cotton" Puryear, the state public affairs office for the Virginia
Nat
