Plese delete last post about russian crazy woman Peunova and her crazy party WILL (Volya). There is nothing common between anarchists and mad pseudopoliticians. Peunova believes in lizardmen which capture human bodies and clone Vladimir Putin. Total mind destruction.

A Model Revolution?

SAFETY AND STABILITY, LIBYANS DO IT THEIR WAY
Around the world the call has gone out for Libyans to form a centralised government. Unfortunately for the United States, China and Russia the Libyans are in no hurry to give up the new found freedoms they are now enjoying. Contrary to popular expectations, although Libya is flooded with guns and no centralised government has emerged since the end of the Gaddafi dictatorship, Libyans have not felt so safe and secure for generations. The calls for parliamentary elections and the establishment of a central government has been ignored by the bulk of the armed militias who currently exercise power in Libya.

People have got on with the business of living, children have gone back to school, street committees have become the primary vehicle through which power is exercised. Sharing a common history, destiny, language and geographical boundaries Libyans are using direct democratic principles to organise their lives. They have demonstrated they have no need for a centralised government. While power continues to rest in the hands of the street committees and militias Libyans will continue to be masters of their own destiny using the country’s wealth for their benefit, not the benefit of foreign transnational corporations who want to see the establishment of a centralised government they can cajole and control.

The Libyan people are at a crossroad they can extend their control over their country, forming a network of federations whose primary responsibility is to the people they represent or they can follow the rest of the world, establish a central government, hold parliamentary elections and lose the new found freedoms they have won to organise their own affairs free from outside interference.

IMMEDIATE HELP AND SUPPORT NEEDED!


Our Israeli comrade Igor Bakal, known to many activists as Yegor Veseliy and as Yigal Levin, is facing a long jail term for refusing to serve as an army officer in Gaza.

Bakal is an IDF reserve officer who received a number of military honors for his participation in the 2009 Lebanon War and in the 2009 Gaza War (Operation Cast Lead). After four years of army service, Bakal became a dedicated communist anarchist, an outspoken staunch opponent of the Zionist state. His anarchist essays and comments influenced many people in Israel and the former USSR.

Recently, Bakal was called by the IDF for newly planned military operations in Gaza. He bravely refused to participate in Israel's killing machine and is being now persecuted for his refusal, which is considered a crime under Israeli law, punishable normally by up to three years of jail. However, as a former IDF veteran turned anarchist, Bakal may be charged with treason, which would greatly aggravate the punishment.

Igor may be arrested in February. He says that he is ready to accept the repressions and will not change his openly anti-state political opinions.

Neither Igor, nor his family or friends can afford a defense lawyer. Please help our comrade! You can give a donation to the following WebMoney accounts:

Z348144549010 (US dollars)
R265869067550 (Russian rubbles)

Or to the following bank account:

Ecocide a crime against peace?

There is a push to have “ecocide” made illegal as a fifth crime against peace. I am at a loss to figure out how harming the environment could be constituted as such, unless you consider nature to be the equivalent of a sovereign nation that the horrible corporate world is waging war against.

Lawyer Polly Higgins likens ecocide to slavery:

To get there, Higgins needs to borrow one more detail from the slavery story: to find a modern Charles Grant willing to stand up among his or her business peers and urge them to support the abolition of ecocide. So who might that be?

The journalist, Juliette Jowit throws out several examples before coming to Richard Branson.

Richard Branson too has a long history of supporting good causes, despite the sometimes startling gap between his business interests (Virgin Atlantic) and professed interests (climate change).

That’s also called hypocrisy. Why does the left continue to love Richard Branson despite this? If they were being consistent, we would hear them question why he puts his business interests over a cause he claims to really care for.

Upon coming across such green craziness, a few quick links led me to even crazier green realms.

This is the definition given for “ecocide” by an environmental organisation. I’m wondering, do they consider natural environmental destruction (the “other causes”) also to be a crime against peace? Do environmentalists really want to charge mother nature for turning once-lush forests into barren deserts? Also, does putting up ugly wind turbines count? I find that diminishes my enjoyment of the landscape.

The folks at Eradicating Ecocide describe the ecocide going on in the world.

Each day 100 living species become extinct, 1,000 acres of peat bogs are excavated and 150,000 acres of tropical rainforest are destroyed. Each day, 2 million tons of toxic waste is dumped in to our rivers and seas, 22 million tons of oil are extracted and 100 million tons of greenhouse gases are released.

While human activity has definitely increased to rate of extinctions worldwide, we must remember that extinctions occur naturally and that we can’t get worried about every little species of frog, bug and plant, especially if they prevent $2.6 billion of housing developments. Certainly we should try to protect endangered species, and it would be a tragedy if something like the bilby went extinct, but what makes every species worth preserving?

The next part I think is funny:

Today large scale habitat destruction, massive soil depletion, extensive deforestation lead to worldwide disruption of natural cycles and the irreversibility of extinction.

I’m sorry, was extinction previously reversible?

A link from this site led me to an anti-capitalist website that proposed a disturbing ultimatum; “Ecosocialism or Barbarism: There is no third way”. So if you’re not an ecosocialist, you’re a barbarian? I guess that makes the majority of people (who are politically moderate or apolitical) barbarians. So if you’re not with these people and their naive socialist ideas, you are against the environment and by extension peace? What a choice!

I seriously cannot believe they wrote THAT. I mean you are really going to say that native planetary species becoming extinct is less important than--housing developments, which they take care to note is worth $2.6 billion just to show that they're real interest is not even housing people but making money. If you want more space for overpopulation, build some self-sufficient space habitats at L5 and shut the fuck up. I mean I oppose the hypocritical corporate/government/elite types who push fake environmentalism for their own profit/tyrannical social agendas but people who think like this make me sick.

The Jews and their double standards.

The Jewish role in the promotion of modern multiculturalism, as embodied in the 1965 Immigration Law, is undeniable, and is well-documented here:

http://www.csulb.edu/~kmacd/books-immigration.html

Some Jews, such as this disgusting specimen, openly admit their role:



You can see the hatred and condesciension this Jewess feels towards Europeans in her eyes and smirk. But note that the organization she runs, Paideia, receives financial support from the European Jewish Fund. From their website:

"The Fund is…focused on addressing such serious threats to Jewish life in Europe as assimilation, anti-Semitism and racism. Assimilation is without a doubt an existential threat to European Jewry that is becoming ever graver. The threat must be addressed in a serious manner with programs that are aimed at reconnecting people with Jewish life.”
http://www.europeanjewishfund.org/

What often goes unmentioned is the Jewish schizophrenia on this issue, because when it comes to their own tribe, Jews are hardline ethno-nationalists, even while they demand that America and Europe embrace the wonders of multiculturalism. In my previous thread, I even encountered one Jew who held exactly that opinion: he believed that Israel has the right to remain a Jewish state and take the measures necessary to ensure that ethnic balance, but such an option is off limits to America or Europe.

Mondoweiss mentions that: "The Union for Reform Judaism, representing the more liberal wing of organized Judaism, has an interesting speakers' lineup at its Washington biennial in December. Barack Obama, I get that. And a big Zionist rabbi named Richard Hirsch. OK, they're sold on Zionism-- all major American Jewish orgs have the Zionist religion.

But Natan Sharansky? Sharansky is a rightwing Israeli leader who chairs One Jerusalem, which has worked to kill the two-state solution, supposedly precious to liberal Jews. And Bill Kristol-- WTF! Kristol is the neoconservative leader who pushed the Iraq war, writing that "Israel's fight against terrorism is our fight." Kristol has backed Israeli colonies through the West Bank.

This demonstrates the conservatism of even Reform Jews when it comes to Israel. Reform Jewish leader Eric Yoffie attacked Richard Goldstone months after the Gaza horror. Reform Jewish leader Rabbi David Saperstein criticized J Street for taking a fairly mild stand against settlements. And J Street has pulled back its criticisms of Israel because it has pitched its tent inside the Jewish community and the Jewish community is reactionary on the Israel question. So it follows that at a time when Israel is losing credibility around the world, Reform circles the wagons, and welcomes rightwingers."

http://mondoweiss.net/2011/10/reform-jews-biennial-will-feature-ultra-right-sharansky-and-kristol.html

One of the comments sheds light on the shift in Reform Judaism: "“Founded in 1942, the ACJ has long offered a distinctive alternative vision of identity and commitment for the American Jewish community. We interpret Judaism as a universal religious faith, rather than an ethnic or nationalist identity.”

Prof. Kevin MacDonald points out that: "So President Obama (another headliner guest at the conference) is sharing the floor far right Jewish ethnonationalists. Forgive me for being cynical when we hear the constant refrain that the reason that Jews are on the left is because of “Jewish values” of tolerance and social justice. This is just another example of a repeated theme here, that Jewish ethics is fundamentally about what is good for the Jews. The Jewish culture of the left in the U.S. is ethnic warfare against the traditional people and culture of America, while Jewish attitudes about Israel justify ethnic warfare against the Palestinians—including tolerance of ethnic cleansing and apartheid. Jewish values as ethnic warfare."

And he's correct. Jews are not leftists out of principle, but out of Jewish self-interest. When leftism doesn't favor Jews, they abandon it, as they have did in Israel, which rapidly became a capitalist, imperialist, expansionist, militarized state, with strong ties to conservative religious elements, and dedicated to conserving its Jewish ethnic identity, and that has no problem forcing ethnic minorites to live in squalid conditions and refugee camps in the process. I can think of a certain reactionary German regime with a very similar organization and worldview. And yet this is the same Jewish state that many American Jews, "left" or right, "reform" or conservative, continue to support. There are some brave dissenters, such as Norm Finkelstein, but the treatment of Finkelstein by other Jews demonstrates when they think of such mavericks.

So Jewish leftism is a sham. Wilhelm Marr, the radical leftist who coined the term "anti-semitism", realized this early on, when he accused the Jews of abandoning the revolution as soon as their own rights were secured. Other father figures of the radical left, such as Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and Mikhail Bakhunin, likewise realized the threat posed by the Jews to equality and social justice. We see this again under the Soviet Union. Jews both in and outside of Russia remained generally supportive of the regime as long as Jews retained their protected status, and only turned against it in the 1950s when Stalin decided to go after the Jews as well. They did not give a damn what happened to the Russian gentile population. We can thus conclude that anti-Semitism is not the socialism of fools, but the only genuine road to a truly egalitarian society. Any assault on capitalism that does not factor in the role of the Jews is incomplete.

It is time we said ENOUGH and held Jews to the same standard as everyone else. I have discussed the matter with people affiliated with the Occupy Wall Street movement and they are aware of the problem but know they can't discuss it openly because the Jewish-controlled media will immediately demonize them. Nevertheless, they promise to handle the problem far better than the reactionary capitalist Tea Party. And more and more people are becoming aware who many of the real oppressors and exploiters are:

http://thezog.wordpress.com/who-controls-the-economy/
http://thezog.wordpress.com/who-controls-goldman-sachs/
http://thezog.wordpress.com/who-controls-american-international-group/

It is also time we pressured Jews about their double standards in regard to Israel. Either Jews recognize the right of Europeans to preserve their own identities in the same way Jews do and stop their support of anti-white immigration policies and other aspects of multiculturalism, or we cut off all funding to Israel and throw it to the wolves. Nothing more.

Individualist Anarchist group

I created an individualist anarchist group months ago, but I haven't bothered to advertise it until now.
It's here: [info]ind_anarchists

Hi! I'd like to invite you to complete a survey of beliefs about the world, which I'm conducting as part of my doctoral research in psychology at the University of Oregon.

I'm especially looking for people who have strong opinions about our role in the world, as citizens and as human beings. All responses are welcome.

To participate in the survey or receive more information about it, click here: World Beliefs Survey.

A few more details )

So far, most of the people who have taken the survey are undergraduates at my university. They’re generally moderate liberals, age 18-22. Although their input is valuable, I doubt that they represent the breadth of important perspectives and experiences that play such an important part in today’s political discussions. I am sure that members of this community could help.

Thank you very much!

Occupy wall street,

Situationist slacker
