Anarchy online,Prophet Without Honour: Anarchy Online Book One "Only in his home town and in his own house is a prophet without honour." -Matthew 13.57 Prophet Without Honour begins in the year 29,475 on the planet Rubi-Ka. On this newly colonised world, orbiting two suns on the outer fringes of the galaxy, a series of momentous events will change the course of human history for all time to come. The war between Omni-Tek, the corporate entity with political and economic control over Rubi-Ka, and the rebel clans who fight for the freedom and independence of their people is just the precursor to a greater conflict that begins on Earth in the 20th Century. Three central characters play out three converging roles - one strives for immortality, one for power and control, and one for the realisation of dreams and prophecies designed to bring humanity one step closer to its eventual fate. Spanning almost three hundred millennia of history - encompassing the fall and rebirth of mankind, the domination and destruction of a corporate hegemony.Etc at http://www.anarchyonline.com/content/story/past/

Free leonard Peltier now! And chris Boyce,Mumia,Sarah and all drug war prisoners.OK.enough politics... Level 9,the pilot ep was on last night and I had it droning away in the corner,heres some synop from http://www.scifi.com/sfw/issue183/screen3.html The Level 9 team soon discovers that the person who took Grace is also involved with Price's archnemesis CrayZhorse. He is a master hacker who has dedicated himself to creating anarchy by leading others in a group called "The Great Uprising." CrayZhorse seems to have orchestrated both the murders and Grace's kidnapping. Price has gone up against him before and lost. But this time Price can't afford to lose, because Level 9 is the country's last and only line of defense against those who would seek to do the unthinkable.(extract)

Letter from an anarchist C/punk thats actually been to Iceland.
by mattd 05 Jan '02

>>But when someone referred to Friedman's essays on Icelandic anarchy, it didn't draw the blanks I think we now see<< Taken from an april 01 post by Fried man fan,May. See http://www.hi.is/~bthru/ritgerd.htm for Ordered Anarchy, State, And Rent-Seeking: The Icelandic Commonwealth, 930-1262 Birgir T. Runolfsson Solvason's PhD thesis. "I will not discuss my dissatisfaction with some political interpretations that I do not think are justified; such as claiming that the Commonwealth is an example of libertarianism or anarcho-capitalism in practice (see Friedman 1989a;1989b). This interpretation of the Commonwealth is not warranted, and the reasons for why it is not, will become apparent in this thesis." And http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/1931/secF9.html for Is Medieval Iceland an example of "anarcho"-capitalism working in practice? An excellent left-libertarian refutation of this position. Part of An Anarchist FAQ Webpage. Some rebuttals are available at David Friedman's home page.(end) Apart from demolishing most libertarian *logic*, david seems to be shooting blanks.Mattd.

1971 -- An angry Vietnam soldier, George Mellendorf sends letter to Richard Nixon complaining about slow delivery of mail to soldiers: "It seems as if nobody cares if we get our mail." Nixon may have responded quickly with his letter of denial, but Mellendorf didn't get it until 1978 -- seven years after it was sent.(on this day;the daily bleed) Freudian Uniform Slip (ta pug) The man appointed by the governor of Texas as the state's director of homeland security in the U.S. war on terrorism, David Dewhurst, is also a candidate for lieutenant governor, and his recent patriot-themed campaign ad featured a large U.S. flag with a smartly dressed soldier standing in front of it. However, it was later discovered that the soldier in the photograph was not an American but a German soldier in a Luftwaffe uniform. [Dallas Morning News, 10-26-01]

email addresses of TSA board members - please distribute to everyone
by snail＠aztec.asu.edu 05 Jan '02

As a tax hating Arizonan i figured I would like to e-mail the TSA (Tourism Stadium Authority) board members and tell them I think the new stadium for Bill Bidwell and his stinking football team should be built in St Louis, Mo using whatever tax dollars the citizens of St Louis feel free to spend on it. certainly not in Phoenix or Tempe where the Arizona government goons want to build it using MY tax dollars. So I emailed Kim Monroe kmonroe(a)az-tsa.com at the TSA and asked her for the email addresses of the TSA board members. She came back and said the email addresses were secret and I couldn't have them. I asked John Wilde for some legal advice on the matter and he told me to get the information requesting them as public records per A.R.S. Section 39-121 I wrote the TSA back and demanded for them to give me the information under the public records laws of A.R.S. 39-121 and told them I would sue if they didn't give it to me. I also emailed a press release to about 1500 Arizona media outlets asking if they could write a story about how the TSA is refusing to give out public information. Last I sent a press release out to all of the Arizona state senators and house members, and most elected city and county officials in Maricopa county complaining that the TSA was refusing to give out public information and asking for their help. looks like something i did worked. i got this email today listing the email addresses of the TSA board members. I think it's from the law firm that represents the TSA. Please give it out to as many libertarians and tax haters as you can so other people can tell the TSA board members what they think about Bill Bidwells stadium. mike ------------------------------------------------------

attacking *small* biz is low hanging fruit

JC forwarded: >* Unlike businesses with permanent security staff, most home users are >slow to secure their computers with the latest antivirus and firewall >software and to plug security holes by downloading the necessary fixes from >software makers such as Microsoft Corp. That should be qualified, you know: *small* businesses do not have security staff, nor particularly qualified network admins. When sharesniffing around, I found the 8 to 256 size netblock to be the most profitable; larger netblocks implied more clueful admins. Pax
