With the market hitting an all time low, small business owners and home owners are at risk of being
pushed under. We are moving into an economic crisis. But what I see is somthing much more tyranical than just a
swing in the economy. This has been a long time coming. I am talking about the eradication of the middle class.
The gap between the poor and the rich is widening, and the ratio between the two classes is alarming as is. We as
people in this country have no say in decisions that ultimately affect us the most. I'm not going to bullshit anyone,
us anarchists are fighting an uphill battle. I do believe in firm and direct action, and am not opposed to
agressive protesting by any means, but there is a more effective way to wake the masses.
Start with those that are close to you. You may become frustrated with those that disagree.
Do not push your views like a bible thumper, just inform them and let them
do as they will with that knowledge. Because that is the true spirit of anarchism. The freedom to carve your own
path and belief system. Besides, you can catch more bees with honey than vinegar. Ask those around you about the
current dilemma. Listen to thier views, and in turn offer yours. Remember that most people you are trying to wake up
will try to denounce the truth. This is due to the fact that most people have been automated hive
workers and consumers for so long, that anything off the beaten path will scare them.
One thing people fear, is change.
If you want to take a more active roll as an anarchist, without causing too much havoc, you can fly post,
hang flags and signs on freeway overpasses, burn copies of Zeitgeist and pass them out, or search for an anarchist
group in your area.
I was contemplating doing an open forum on common questions that are asked of anarchists by people in
general. Most people have misconceptions about us, and what they do know is misconstrued by the media.
I started looking at the questions I had to answer in my late teens and 20's. Then I started to dig a bit on the
net and I happened to stumble across this short clip directed at us anarchists. You may have to dismiss this
person's manners, but try to come up with your own answers. Utilize the comments section to discuss these theories.
Talk amongst yourselves so that we may reveal the answers to the questions they have for us.
PLEASE no infighting, as this would be completely counter-productive.
There is nothing worse in my opinion than a misinformed or uneducated anarchist. These anarchists are the type
that recite punk rock lyrics to back up their debates with others. My job as an anarchist writer is to keep
you up to date on current events, and hit you with some original thought to make you think.
Today I am going to hit you with somthing new, I will be teaching Anarchists new to this scene and refreshing
those that have been around a while....The history of anarchism. As anarchists we should know our roots. We
should know the people who fought for the same cause years before our time. When someone asks you questions
about your views, you need to have the answers. You need to have an arsenal of information at your disposal.
The answer "because thats how I feel" is not good enough. I want my fellow anarchists to make other people's
jaws drop while in a political discussion. I want my fellow anarchists to be able to mentally trounce
intelligent opposition. I want my fellow anarchists to know that we as brothers and sisters, have a history.
-Agent of Chaos-
So without further delay...I give you the queen of chaos, Emma Goldman.
Television. One of the greatest instruments ever created for mass media. People are drawn to it like a moth to the
flame. When we are bored we watch television, when we eat we watch television, when we are stressed and want to
relax, we watch television... So what happens? Our brains kind of shut off and slip into auto pilot. We ingest
everything that the television spits out. Subconsciously we are being fed habits of consumerism and useless
information about celebrities. We are watching reality shows as our own reality passes us by.
The major question to ask here is WHY? Why is it that we spend 5 minutes on the presidential elections and
20 minutes on what happened to Britney Spears this week? Why is it that we have 20 minutes of programming and
10 minutes of commercials that urge us to buy things we dont need? Stop and ponder why they call it programming...
Thats exactly what's happening. We are being programmed and conditioned to become consumers and nothing more.
Again ask WHY? Maybe it's because all they are really doing is shoving a big fat pacifier in our mouths, and are
saying, "Be quiet, overwork yourselves, and do not pay attention to the man behind the curtain.
We dont want any of you to have an original thought, or question what is really going on with this country, and how our
lack of involvement affects it." This country thrives off of assimilation. Original thought creates ideas, and ideas
can become dangerous to the institution. People are much easier to control when they are mentally sedated and
preoccupied with random useless crap. So take that pacifier out of your mouth and wake up!
Many people speculate that the falling economy is a ruse. Nothing more than a tactic to justify a merger with
Canada and Mexico, thus creating the North American Union. A new form of currency will be issued, The Amero.
This is one step closer to a One World Order. Speculation states for a mid to late 2009 time frame for the American
economy to colapse.
What does this mean to Anarchists? With a One World Order in place, the odds of being able to create an uprising
or a revolt will be slim to nil, as most anarchists agree. There is a silver lining though, with the fall of the
economy, many of middle class citizen's bubbles will burst. Feeling an economic catastrophy will awaken many
from their consumerism comatose. These people will be able to look at the world through a new set of eyes, pure
and simply because the system that they had so much faith in, has failed. The government knows this though, and
are getting prepared.
As of October 1st, troops have been pulled out of Iran and are training for civil unrest and crowd control
here in the states. This information can be axcessed through armytimes.com. Nspd 51 and hspd20 have also taken
effect. Bush can declare a National Emergency (Martial Law) without any concent from congress.
"I hold it, that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as
storms in the physical." Thomas Jefferson
Letter to James Madison (January 30, 1787); referring to Shays' Rebellion Lipscomb & Bergh
"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed.
The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive.
If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ...
What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties
if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take
arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a
century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It is its natural manure."
Thomas Jefferson. Letter to William Stevens Smith (November 13, 1787)
Our time could be coming sooner than you think.
A.O.C.
By reading alot of comments that have been posted about Anarchist ideals, I have been seeing alot of "fuck talking
and plotting. Stand up and revolt" talk. I need to set the record straight for these overzealous, misinformed,
youthful brethren. Look around you, how many of "US" do you see or know about? 10? 50? 100? 1,000? Out of that
number, how many are as gung-ho as you? How many of those are willing do DIE? Are you willing to die? Ask yourself
this question. Because there will be deaths if we try to overthrow the government, I promise you.
But, the timing has to be right.
How many of us do you think it would take to take on your local police department? How many for SWAT? How many for
the National Guard? How many for the Armed Forces? Would there be enough of our people to accomplish this? Do not be
naive. Do not talk out of your neck. Think before you speak. Think about how prepared they are, and then think about
how prepared we are. They are the ones holding all the chips, not us.
The game was set up this way well before we were all born. To them we are nothing more than an investment to
be harvested for our labor and then syphoned of our profits. They got to form the game because they were the
ones with all the money in the beginning. The only way to gain progress for the cause is to change the thought
patterns of those around us. Make the masses wake up and see what we see. Then, and only then, will we have the
numbers to create change. Because as of now, we are nothing more to them than a child with a temper tantrum, easily
remedied with a quick swat. There are strength in numbers.
The general population are cattle. Fat, lazy, dumb and content, they graze on consumerism. People do this because
this is what they have known all thier lives. The only way to get the people to revolt is to remove the wool from
their eyes. Make them see what we see. When they are finally able to open their eyes to the truth, they will be
filled with fear and mistrust of the government. These emotions will eventually turn to anger, only then is a
revolt possible. This is the optimal path.
The second path is to make very slow, strategic strikes in the sea of politics. To infiltrate their system with our
own people and push to gain a libertarian society. This is a long and slow traveled path. Those anarchists craving
instant gratification may not like this path. Realize this though, this game has been set up, and evolved into its
current state for a long time now. What makes us think that the game can be changed over night? Besides, a brick
through a local McDonald's window is nothing in comparison to deconstructing the system from the inside out.
"I am not a pesimist, nor an optimist. I am a realist. I see the world for what it really is. I do not try to make it
what it is not for the comfort of others or myself. I am the devil's advocate and the angel's witness. I have been
torn apart and rebuilt with the intention of survival, not self improvement. For me, there is no need to impress,
validate, or convince. I will not try to make you see things from the other side, instead I will show you all sides
and intentionally leave no definite answer for you. Not to toy with you but just to make you think. I do not live
outside the box nor in it. I'm the one who takes the sliver of doubt in your mind and skewers your own views and
everything you hold true. I will try my best to inspire your mind and sabotage it at the same time.
I am a true agent of chaos, promoting order of the mind."
These anarchists lack a pragmatic method of achieving something productive, but their platform and their way of thinking are more sound than that of most anarchists I've met in my life.
They understand that no matter what party wins the US election, the totalitarian and centralized bureaucracy will dominate. Therefore they stand outside of public democracy, but support local, autonomous communities where people set up their own laws and live sustainable lifestyles.
Another point they make is that most anarchists, and political protesters in general, are not useful. You don't achieve anything by holding up signs and shouting slogans. That truth hurts many "activists," who think they matter because they turned up at a rally. Anarchist Somorra understands that real communities were built through direct action, and that that is precisely what needs to be done now to establish the future anarchist communities.
For recognizing this, she's a threat to the system. Evan Engel, co-producer of this video, explains to Anarchy.net what happened during the time of the filming:
While producing it, my partner and I were detained by the Secret Service, who interrogated us for an hour about our views on anarchy, the 2nd amendment, and a lot else. They even took my phone and went through my text messages.
Public democracy and its handlers control us through their slick lifestyles and push for globalism to kill all decentralized communities. They want to build a world empire where they are rulers. As Somorra points out, "our society has programmed us to be like suicide machines," that is, it wants us to live within a very confined space with very confined freedoms, on very confined food and water resources.
Modern globalist society is death. Somorra and her friends understand it. Learn from their action and start to oppose the power, you too.
