New Anarchist
http://www.anarchistcommunitarian.net/whatisanarchism.shtml What Is Anarchism? First off, all notions that anarchism stands for chaos, disorder, violence, laissez-faire capitalism, structurelessness, terrorism, and everyone for themselves needs to be abandoned in order for one to have a clear understanding of what anarchism is actually about. In fact, it can be said that anarchism is actually the opposite of all of that. However, despite this fact, a great many mis-conceptions, mis-understandings, slander, and media-portrayals of negative stereotypes of anarchists has occurred all over the world for hundreds of years. The cumulative effect of all of this has led to most people considering anarchism, especially anarchy, as one of those things that I listed above. With most people having this negative prejudice towards anarchism, many naturally do not want to try and learn anything about it, and hence the cycle of ignorance is perpetuated. Anarchism is the social, economic and political theory that all forms of hierarchy, domination, authority, and coercion are wrong and should be abolished and replaced with new forms of inter-acting that are based on voluntary cooperation, direct participatory democracy, free association and mutual aid. Because of these core beliefs, anarchism advocates the complete abolition of all forms of capitalism, government, racism, sexism and homophobia. Anarchism sees capitalism and government as being institutions fundamentally based upon hierarchy, domination, authority, and coercion, whereas it views racism, sexism and homophobia as being inter-personal expressions of the same things. Anarchism sees order and organization without authority and government as being possible, desirable and, to some extent, already existing in some small forms today. Anarchism seeks to create new forms and structures of relating and organizing without government and authority, as well as expanding upon the already existing ones. There is a wide and diverse variety of anarchists, anarchist beliefs, tactics, and visions of a future anarchist society. There are eco-anarchists, union-centered anarchists, anti-God anarchists, Christian and Jewish anarchists, pacifist anarchists, animal rights-centered anarchists, class struggle-centered anarchists, pro-technology anarchists, anti-technology anarchists, etc etc. However, the things that unites all of these anarchists is the core beliefs that I wrote above(although each individual anarchist would think about and express this core unifying sentiment in a different and unique way). To learn more about anarchism, I suggest that you read this essay. For an even larger and more in-depth introduction to anarchism, I recommend that you visit An Anarchist FAQ. Some good, useful and informative anarchist web-sites that I recommend are: Liberty For The People Anarchy Archives Spunk Library Infoshop.org
Aborting ashcroft
Astrogirl I was sitting and waiting for the train to come when something that had been stirring in my brain for nearly a year began to ferment once again. I wasn't thinking about this something at all. Unsurprisingly, I was daydreaming of Emma Goldman and imagining that I might at some point in my life come close to touching upon her sincerity. In Living My Life she tells of one of her first experiences speaking in front of people. She has been strongly influenced by Johann Most and is speaking in Cleveland to a group of animated workers. She gives them a sarcastic arraignment and prods them to fight for more than temporary gains. It is then that an old worker rises to speak he said that he understood my impatience with such small demands as a few hours less a day, or a few dollars more a week. It was legitimate for young people to take time lightly. But what were men of his age to do? They were not likely to see the ultimate overthrow of the capitalist system. Were they also to forgo the release of perhaps two hours a day from the hated work? That was all they could hope to see realized in their lifetime. Should they deny themselves even that small achievement? Should they never have a little more time for reading or being out in the open? Why not be fair to people chained to the block? This was a turning point for Emma that impressed upon her the need for independent thinking. For some reason this particular sentiment hit me when I was tossing around the current Roe vs. Wade situation in my malcontent brain. The thought of losing Roe Vs. Wade with the impending implantation of one more demonic supreme court justice makes me grimace and choke back vomit. I do not believe in petitioning the state and this leads me to wonder what is the female anarchist role in the struggle to maintain control of our bodies? Those who will suffer from the overturning of Roe vs. Wade more than just ideologically like myself, are the poor, uneducated, people of color, i.e. the same people who always lose under capitalism. Should I organize demonstrations? Should I implement abortion workshops? Should I tour the poorest areas of every city and town with information? What would be effective? I am not writing this to supply answers or information but to provoke thought in the hopes that the thought will provoke action, and that action a reaction. I have found that when I have a question it is best to ask it because questions either supply answers or deliberation. Both of which I consider productive. It is from these humble musings that I found myself scratching at the walls of the beast. Perhaps, this particular issue seems too liberal for some. Many, in my experience, see it the way Goldman leered out over the crowd of haggard workers. It is time that we begin to educate and organize everyone possible, from every angle. The system doesn't work and there is always a personal connection to that. For womyn, this is a good example. Let us tie every struggle into a knot (also a good birth control method) and point at the big mess of capitalism.

SHREDDERS MELTDOWN AT RSA!
RSA Security Issues Clarification On SEC Investigation BEDFORD, Mass., Jan. 25, 2002 RSA Security Inc. (Nasdaq: RSAS) today reported that the Securities and Exchange Commission has commenced a formal investigation into certain matters relating to the company. The SEC's investigative order relates to whether a change in RSA Security's method for estimating distributor revenue disclosed in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2001 should have been disclosed in its earnings press release a few weeks earlier, as well as to certain trading in the company's securities. The investigation will not require any change to RSA Security's financial statements. The SEC has not concluded that there has been any wrongdoing, and we don't believe that there has been any, said Art Coviello, CEO and president at RSA Security. We are cooperating fully with the SEC on this matter. Trei is cooperating with 2 bottles of jim beam after slaving all day over melting paper shredders.

Reward for whereabouts of IRA rat.1,000.000$ or B.U.Ms.
Intelligence Flows as MI5, FBI and the Garda use American for Incredible Sting Not many people outside of the intelligence community will have known too much about a man called David Gary Rupert. Yet the 6ft 4 inches giant who claims to have German and Mohawk indian blood in him has been at the centre of one of MI5s most daring operations. David Rupert was to many in republican circles a modest and mysterious American character, often flying in from the US to deliver funds raised for jailed prisoners or republican organisations. Weighing in at over 20 stones he first surfaced at a IFC (Irish Freedom Committee) meeting in Chicago in 1997. He introduced himself as a lorry driver with no fixed address. He told members at the meeting that his real name was Scott Post. Born in Madrid, New York State he was regarded as a rebel and a loner. As a young man he went from one job to another and even crossed the Atlantic and obtained a tenancy on a bar in County Leitrim. After that he returned to the Chicago area and bought a lorry, hoping to shift haulage across the vast network of roads that cross America. All along however he mixed with Irish dissidents and fund-raisers in Chicagos huge Irish population. Somewhere along the line he became disillusioned and sold his truck. He was a well-known figure at meetings and became the talk of the IFC. Many believed he had contacts that wended their way to the very top of organisations like Sinn Fein and the IRA. The groups were very suspicious of US intelligence, especially the FBI who they referred to as the FRONT for BRITISH INTELLIGENCE. Amazingly they couldnt have been more correct. MI5 had successfully tracked US fund-raising efforts to certain US citizens and groups through bank accounts. But they needed more information. Together with the FBI and Irish security police, they spoke to Mr Rupert who agreed to work for them as a double agent. It was a major coup. Throughout the last four years he has supplied intelligence on fundraising, bank accounts, and recruiting campaigns. He networked between various rival factions and was so trusted he eventually befriended members of the Real IRA and several political organisations, such as the 32 County Sovereignty Committee. Similarly, he was befriended by Martin Galvin, a New York lawyer and the head of Noraid, the American fundraising arm of the Provisional IRA. Rupert was given codes and access to various associated groups and learned of leading personnel on both sides of the Atlantic. As Rupert forwarded donations to Ireland and elsewhere, MI5, the FBI and the Garda were carefully following the transactions, collecting details of every bank account the money was channelled through. In 1999 Rupert met with Michael McKevitt, who MI5 believe is the head of the Real IRA. Mr McKevitt is said to have introduced Rupert to other leading players in the group. And, according to sources, he handed over a £10,000 donation to cement relations. Rupert told the Garda that the organisation was planning a series of top-level meetings at a certain location. The Irish security services planted listening devices and surveillance equipment in the room. Much evidence was apparently acquired and then the Garda asked MI5 and the FBI if it was time to act. The agencies mind was made up for them when Rupert said McKevitt had allegedly asked him to participate in a terrorist act. The Garda said that if they arrested McKevitt, Rupert would have to testify and this meant blowing his cover. MI5 knew they were about to lose one of their most important agents, but the prize they believed was worth it. Rupert agreed to testify for a massive sum of money and a new identity. He was also relocated. The Garda swooped and arrested Mr McKevitt and charged him with direct paramilitary operations. The trial is expected to take place in September at a special criminal court in Dublin. Since then the Garda has hinted that they have a secret weapon in the trial, undoubtedly a reference to the 49-year-old Rupert. The Real IRA have been accused of the Omagh bombing in 1998, which resulted in the deaths of 29 people. There most audacious attack was the rocket strike against the SIS headquarters in London last year. Details of reward offer to pr.

Re: Brazilian labor unionist critique of WSF (fwd)
-- Forwarded message -- Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2002 15:43:12 -0500 Subject: Re: Brazilian labor unionist critique of WSF To hear anarchist/socialists refer to all NGOs as tools of capitalism is interesting indeed especially in the context of the very specific examples given below... My opinion is that you can find examples of rotten policies on a global scale for anything. Pick your poison. The ENDA example below being a prime case along w/ the ATTAC group policies in light of a few (possibly necessary diplomatic) public words from a spokesperson being another. Again the context of the original words is key and to understand it is beyond most of our non-political careers... and available atoms in the universe. In short the below article may point out valid negative points about specific NGOs and such negative things as traditional capital based influences on the WSF-- is anything truly pure these days-- but in my opinion it all paints with too broad a brush. NGOs are in essence social groupings through the globe within existing societies recognized and sheltered within the existing structures and in most cases there is quite a bit of latitude- within the context of the applicable laws- on how such a group is constituted and what it is permitted to do. And in most cases their is if not structure at least an agreement on an interface that allows some level of accountability into that organization. On another note: one of the issues we've seen recently that is not addressed well by the militant anarchist/socialist groups is the lack of transparency within their ranks. Instead of working to gain more transparency in the groups that they assemble against (allow for open criticisms and hopefully amelioration/remediation/explanation such as in the cases below) they have a strong tendency to internally hold their policies and gatherings in secret- in fear of infiltration and subterfusion. Granted if you form a spokescouncil and agree to membership rules you're allowed fairly deep penetration of externally hidden strategies. But... I fear I paint w/ a broad brush myself when I say that it sounds like a new religion to me... ;-) Then again the anarchist goal is the destruction of all traditional authority structures and that is not predicated w/ any level of transparency, cooperation, or in some cases accountability. Maybe I'm still realing from influences/shocks of cult of personalities during recent events... ;-) How close to the absolute left is the absolute right. Yeehaw!
Brazilian labor unionist critique of WSF (fwd)
-- Forwarded message -- Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2002 13:49:12 -0600 (CST) Subject: Brazilian labor unionist critique of WSF An interesting POV I've not heard expressed. YMMV. -- Forwarded message -- Date: Wed, 06 Feb 2002 18:37:18 -0600 (CST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: brazilian criticism of WEF snip std forward disclaimer - g [ As many people know, many Brazilian anarchists are organizing events parallel to the official World Social Forum, as part of their critique of the WSF-process. Many of these people are very sympathetic to the PGA network, if not actively involved. The Brazilian trade unionists below are actually boycotting the WSF, or at least not attending the major events. Their critique below is very instructive, and represents, I think, a clear break from reformist efforts like the Hemispheric Social Alliance (which is involved with the WSF-process). Just some food for thought ... J] Open Letter to the Trade Unionists and Activists Participating in the World Social Forum 2002 in Porto Alegre, Brazil: Is it possible to put a human face on globalization and war? Dear Brothers and Sisters, We, the undersigned Brazilian trade unionists, want to open a dialogue with you. We are living through a terrible situation the world over. The U.S. government, under the cover of the United Nations, is using the heinous terrorist attacks of September 11 to intensify a political agenda of full-scale, protracted war -- as Bush himself has stated. It is a war that started with the bombing of Afghanistan and is far from over. In neighboring Argentina, the people -- after years of governments that had submitted to the dictates of the IMF and applied the politics of privatization, destruction of workers' rights, and bleeding the nation to pay back the foreign debt -- took to the streets and threw out the center-left government of Fernando De la Rua. They made it clear they wanted an end to policies that had plunged millions of Argentineans into misery and hunger -- all in the name of modernization, the exigencies of globalization, the criteria of the Mercosul regional free trade pact, and the preparation of the country for the FTAA! In this new situation, the powers that dominate the world -- that is, the multinationals; the financial speculators; the international financial institutions such as the WTO, World Bank and IMF; and all the governments in their service -- have declared an economic and political war against the workers, against their organizations, and against the peoples. Their aim is to use the tragic events of September 11th to roll back all the rights and conquests wrested through bitter struggle by working and oppressed peoples. Their aim is to destroy any and all barriers to their plunder of natural resources and their unbridled quest for profit and exploitation. The struggles of resistance against these scorched-earth policies cry out for the unity of working people the world over -- from North to South and from East to West. It requires the united struggle of oppressed and exploited peoples to stop this offensive of war and destruction, which is leading the world to the brink of barbarism. Only through such united struggle in defense of the rights and gains of working people will it be possible to chart a way forward for the future of humanity. For our part, we are certain that this quest for unity in action to defend and advance the rights of working people is what has prompted thousands of unionists and activists from across the globe to participate in the second World Social Forum (WSF) in Porto Alegre, Brazil. But does the reality of the WSF correspond to this expectation? Does the WSF offer a way forward for this struggle? We want to raise some questions here about the WSF and invite you, our bothers and sisters, to draw your own conclusions. The Trap of Civil Society The WSF has presented itself, since its inception, as a forum for civil society. The very concept of civil society, which is so popular of late, erases the borders between social classes that exist in society. How, for example, is it possible to include in the same category of civil society both the exploited and the exploiters, the bosses and workers, the oppressors and oppressed -- not to mention the churches, NGOs, and government and UN representatives? The organizing committee of the WSF in Brazil includes organizations such as the Brazilian Association of Employers for the Citizens (CIVES) and the Brazilian Association of NGOs (ABONG). They are joined in the committee by other entities, which, to be sure, are connected to the struggles of the exploited and oppressed -- such as the CUT [Unified Workers Federation] and the MST [Movement of Landless Peasants]. Is this organizing committee itself not an expression of the politics of civil society -- that is, of the attempt to group together in the same camp interests that are in fact

Re: CDR: BBC News | SCI/TECH | Watching your every move
Over here in the midwest USA these cameras have been springing up on the highways (mounted on the overhanging sodium lamps) like crazy. What's really amazing is that there is so little public *notice* of them (I realize the public may not bitch about it, but I _am_ surprised that the public *literally* doesn't *see* them). I've wondered greatly at how useful these cameras can be on major arteries where average speeds are in the 50-75mph range, but I guess the answer lies in their proliferation.

The cameras (at least the overt ones) are mounted on stand alone poles about 60ft tall with this really cool looking 'sheep catcher' lightning rod on top. No question what they are.

It comes in, and it goes out. And that is it. As to what the archivist choose to keep, talk to them. Perhaps you might consider starting your own archive and then you can make those sorts of decisions yourself.
