Through the heroic efforts of Matt Jenny, Agorism.info is now available in a basic German-language version. Notably, it features a full German translation of Konkin’s New Libertarian Manifesto in freely downloadable PDF format — Das Neulibertäre Manifest. Matt deserves an enormous amount of thanks and praise for this gift to the cause of global human liberty.
“Agora! Anarchie! Aktion!”
And in local news:
Missouri law enforcement agents were called to 1,200 fewer meth labs last year than in 2005, Gov. Matt Blunt said today.
I just want to take this opportunity to extend a heartfelt “thank you” to everybody out there who made the responsible and humane decision to avoid snitching in 2006. Apparently, there were more of you in 2006 than in 2005. With your continuing help, we can eradicate snitching and its terrible effects on society.
From Yahoo News:
There were a few tense moments outside the Capitol when several hundred protesters tried to rush the building. Police scuffled and wrestled with some and eventually set up barricades and a police line to keep them at bay. The protesters shouted “Our Congress!” and some carried riot shields with the slogan “U.S. out of everywhere.”
Many of the protesters belonged to Students for a Democratic Society, an activist group founded in the 1960s by Tom Hayden (once married to Fonda) and others.
John Cronan, 23, from the Pace University chapter, said they were trying to send a different message than the main march. “These peace rallies really don’t get anything done. With Congress historically, you have to force them to do something,” he said.

As it continues to dawn on the American moderate left that there really almost isn’t any such thing as a “conservative” any more; that they face an exponentially more tyrannical, militarist, government-loving authoritarian right — left and libertarian re-alignment continues apace. The right to keep and bear arms is shaping up to be a potentially important point of mutual coalescence. I predict we will see the most onerous gun owner persecution coming from the authoritarian right in years to come, as a movement in reaction to voters of moderately libertarian sentiments fleeing to the moderate left. Favorite comment from the post linked above:
as a true blue socialist — i am armed to the teeth. It could be a matter of survival in the coming fascist years.
When the revolution comes, this cat will be ready and will not give up without a fight - about the only policy i share with the rightwing extremists.
MLL strategy point: MLL cells ought to ensure continuing provision, via counter-economic means if necessary, of video games providing elementary training in small-unit tactics to the urban poor.
The top corporate weenies at CBS News are to gutless to play this on air and have ensured it only gets posted on their web site. Watch it and then tell your friends. Hell, tell your enemies. Hat tip to Scott Bieser.
Can you help house a soldier/resister on their way to Canada?
(Call the number for the War Resisters’ League below!)
URGENT HOUSING REQUIRED FOR AMERICAN SOLDIERS Wednesday, 11:44 AM
* EMERGENCY HOUSING APPEAL!!! *
Since the news broke that George Bush will be announcing an increased deployment of 20,000 troops to Iraq, there has been a huge response within the U.S. military.
The War Resisters Support Campaign has been inundated with requests from soldiers who are considering coming to Canada.
This is an urgent appeal for housing spots for the new arrivals. If you have room where you can house a resister for a few days, a few weeks or longer, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH US.
Welcoming a war resister here with the offer of temporary housing is a concrete way to help put an end to war in Iraq. Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated!

Per Bylund in a new commentary item from the Center for A Stateless Society. “Democratic congressmen and activists are outraged by the “new war strategy†presented in President Bush’s “Iraq speech†of January 9… but it should be no surprise that the President seeks to follow this war through no matter the cost.”
