AUSTRALIAN ANARCHIST HISTORY
DAVID ANDRADE 1859 - 1928
In May 1886, David Andrade, his brother Will Andrade and a few others formed
Australia9s first Anarchist group - The Melbourne Anarchist Club. David
Andrade was a regular contributor to the club9s journal Honesty. David and
his brother Will were booksellers, they had a newsagency in Brunswick. In
1890, they moved to Liberty Hall in Russell St, Melbourne and set up
Australia9s first anarchist bookshop and vegetarian restaurant.
Andrade was a writer, publisher, distributor, organiser, activist and
propagandist. Publications he wrote include Money - A Study of the Currency
Question 1887, An Anarchist Plan of Campaign 1888 and in 1892 he published
the novel, the Melbourne Riots and how Harry Holdfast and his friends
emancipated "the workers". David Andrade was a major participant in the
Melbourne Anarchist Club split in 1888, which revolved around the question
of "forcible reclamation and defence of liberty" - violence. David Andrade,
a pacifist, rejected the idea of the use of violence.
David Andrade, a man with incredible amounts of energy, became secretary of
the Unemployed Workers Association in Richmond in the early 18909s and in
1893 took up a selection of 10 acres in the Dandenong Ranges at Kallista,
where he cleared the land, built a house and worked as a storekeeper and
mailman. His second son, who was named Proudhon, was born on the selection
in 1893. Andrade and his family were burnt out in the fires of 1898. The
fires destroyed everything he had built up over his lifetime.
Seventeen years after he began his Anarchist Odyssey, the pressures became
too much to bear and David Andrade was admitted to the Yarra Bend asylum in
1903 and spent the next 25 years in various asylums, dying in the Ballarat
Mental Asylum in 1928. His two sons died in 1909 and 1913. Andrade, in
P.D. Gardner9s words, "was caught up with the various means by which the
idea could be turned into practice".

BOOK REVIEW
ANARCHISM ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST, Albert MELTZER, AK Press 7th Edition
2000. ISBN 1873176570
Albert Meltzer, a class struggle anarchist for over 60 years, first
published Anarchism Arguments for and Against in 1981. The booklet was
reissued five times between the time it was first published in 1981 and his
death in 1996. The 7th Edition is pocket size, 96 page, blockbuster, that
like the original, oscillates between brilliance and the mundane.
After an introduction by Sturat Christie on the life and times of Albert
Meltzer, Albert opens his account by giving a potted description of the
modern Anarchist Movement. In this introductory section, Meltzer leaves out
more than he puts in. The rest of the book is split into two distinct
sections, arguments for and against Anarchism. In the first section, he
examines the Inalienable Tenets of Anarchism, the class struggle,
organisation and Anarchism, the role of an Anarchist in an Authoritarian
Society and Bringing about the New Society.
His arguments about what anarchism is, are easy to understand, but patchy in
parts. His tendency to wander off in the midst of an argument to berate who
he considers are his anarchist enemies, diminishes his arguments about
anarchism. The strength of the book lies in the second part. In this part,
Objections to Anarchism, he clearly refutes the arguments of all those
political and social movements that have tried to confine anarchism to the
historical cyber bin. Sixty years of militant activity have clearly
sharpened Meltzer9s intellect to a point where he is able to shrivel the
arguments of all those elements in society that oppose Anarchism in a few
sharp sentences. Objections to Anarchism begins with Meltzer9s ideas on
Leadership and ends with the Reduction of Anarchism to Marginalisation. In
between, he lucidly and simply, overturns the objections of Marxists,
Capitalists, Fascists, Social-Democrats, Trade Union officials, sections of
the Feminist movement and tackles the mythical Average Persons Objection to
Anarchism.

You don't need James D., all you've got to do is look to your neighbors.

In an anarchism what is illegal is whatever you do that irritates your
neighbors. Which is about as coersive as it gets, need an example of why
CACL doesnt' work, look at the discussion around the 'CDR:' in message

The difference between Stalinists and Trots is that the Trots
were from the beginning more extreme, more brutal, and more
contemptuous of ordinary Russians.  The original point of
dispute between Stalin and Trotsky was that Trotsky though
Stalin was too soft on the kulaks.  The moderate faction in
Russia were the Zinovievists.  No one outside Russia thought
himself a Zinovievist, all identifying with the more extreme,
not less extreme, factions of Soviet communism.

There once upon a time was difference between those you
falsely call anarchists, and the commies, but after the
incompatibility between anarchism and socialism was
demonstrated in 1936-1938, the difference vanished.  Chomsky
illustrates this well.  Wherever the masters boot smashes
repeatedly into the face of a child, we can always rely on
Chomsky to find a good word for the master, and demonize the
child as a CIA agent. Chomsky defended the Pol Pot regime in
Cambodia, the slave labor camps employed to pacify South
Vietnam, rationalized the Soviet reinvasion of Czechoslovakia
and Hungary as defence against US aggression, and supported
Stalin's attacks on Greece.

In order to give value to ecoins, it is necessarily to make them 
convertible with some other currency, normally an account based 
currency. It is difficult to do this without supporting accounts.

One could of course have a pile of gold, and physically and in 
person exchange coins for physical gold, but it is considerably 
more convenient to exchange coins for account based money, 
such as e-gold.  It is difficult to make such transactions entirely 
atomic, because of the possibility that something might go wrong, 
requiring durable state.  We then need a database key for that 
state.  Such a database key looks rather like an account

This only works if the transaction is complete and final, for example 
downloading pornography, or for people who meet physically, and 
exchange physical assets for ecash.  If the transaction is for 
account assets outside the system, then the transaction must 
have state that looks very like an account, if only a transient 
account.

The value of e-gold is ultimately maintained by physical transfers 
with a pile of gold inside a vault outside US jurisdiction.  It takes a 
great deal of time and cost to actually transfer stuff to and from that 
vault, hence the numerous intermediaries.  The intermediaries 
therefore find it convenient to maintain accounts with e-gold.

While accounts are not needed for many transactions, and should 
be avoided where possible, they are convenient for many 
transactions, and essential for some.

For procmail (available on Linux systems; for other
Unix systems download from procmail.org):

1. Use a .forward file to forward to procmail:

Mine looks like this, your might have a different
path:

"|exec /usr/local/bin/procmail"

2. Edit a .procmailrc for procmail to use.  It's
not that hard, there are some good docs ("man procmailrc")

Some extracts from mine:

-- start of snippet from .procmailrc
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin/
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
DEFAULT=/var/mail/gbnewby
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/procmail.log

# Backup the last 32 messages (per 'man procmailex')

In the above, "spam" is a mail folder (literally, just a file).
So, you can still read the stuff there...  if you want to 
delete it permanently, use /dev/null instead of "spam"

This will work fine with any Unix mail program that uses
local files -- you'd need something different if you use
IMAP or POP.

3. test, test test!!!  You can do much more sophisticated
filtering with procmail, but I find that most of what I want
is to filter the To, From or Subject line based on a
string or substring.

The difference between Stalinists and Trots is that the Trots
were from the beginning more extreme, more brutal, and more
contemptuous of ordinary Russians. The original point of
dispute between Stalin and Trotsky was that Trotsky though
Stalin was too soft on the kulaks. The moderate faction in
Russia were the Zinovievists. No one outside Russia thought
himself a Zinovievist, all identifying with the more extreme,
not less extreme, factions of Soviet communism.<<

I use two kinds of filtering:

1. Mail filters. For nearly 10 years, I used Eudora and Eudora Pro. Now 
I am using OS X Mail, but may switch to Entourage (packaged with 
Microsoft Office). All of these mail filters are incredibly easy to 
learn to use. (Being that OS X is largely FreeBSD, I'm sure I could use 
regular expression filtering, but so far, no need.)

2. Eric Murray's lne.com node, which filters out any source not 
subscribed to the list, basically.

Choate and mattd get filtered into the trash by my own filters, though I 
can see their posts in the garbage if I get bored. (Also, mattd doesn't 
consistently filter into the trash properly...no idea why. If I manually 
run the filters, it works.)

Filtering mail is a necessity these days.

So far nothing about the Reid incident distinguishes it
from a low-level security test.

Whether Reid was informed of his role by the operation
planners could be questioned.

And whether the planners were "terrorists" or the counter-
terrorism industry is a fair question.

Time magazine says in its December 31 edition:

  "White House aides tell Time they are envisioning a war 
  against terrorism that could last 50 years. As a model for

For all intents and purposes, the total supply of gold has been 
relatively constant for decades. A fraction of the total is mined and 
brought to market each year, but only a small fraction of the total.

And yet the assay and marking cost (several percent) has not crippled 
gold.

Further, the fee for assaying and marking (melting, minting, stamping 
gold bars, etc.) is a fee for a service, and goes back into circulation. 
I expect the operators of a money changing operation would similarly 
aggregate their 1% or whatever and use the aggregated fee as their 
compensation for providing a service.

Even if the money deflates, so? If it encourages people to hang on to 
their money, so?

(I made most of my money by _not_ spending what I earned.)

In any case, let's see how the experiment turns out. Let anyone try any 
approach they wish, ranging from "the total amount of money is 1" to "I 
generate 30% more money in the system every year."  As I said, I expect 
multiple tries, multiple experiments. Right now we are more limited by 
the notion that Some Big Startup has to Get it Right the First Time.

New life for Grand Theft Auto 3
Caitlin Fitzsimmons
DECEMBER 14, 2001
THE banned PlayStation 2 game, Grand Theft Auto 3, is likely to be recoded 
and could return to Australian stores by February.
The game, which is one of the most popular PS2 games worldwide, was refused 
classification by the Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) 
because of implied scenes of sexual violence.
The game had been launched a month earlier with an MA15+ advisory sticker 
because of an apparent misunderstanding between the distributors, Take 2 
Interactive, and the OFLC.
But after the OFLC ban and a failed appeal, it is now illegal to sell or 
demonstrate the game anywhere in Australia.
Take 2 Interactive managing director James Ellingford said he was in 
discussions with the developer to modify the game to pass Australia's 
censorship guidelines.
The expense of the product recall, recoding the game and reprinting the 
discs would be "significant".
Mr Ellingford said he was waiting for the final report from the OFLC and a 
face-to-face meeting to discuss the specific problems before he would "push 
the button" for recoding to start.
He expected to give the go-ahead on December 20 and the best-case scenario 
would see the game back on shelves by January 25.
Take 2 Interactive planned to launch a version of the game in PC format by 
March, but there were no plans at this stage to develop it for Microsoft's 
Xbox.
Grand Theft Auto 3 is one of a new breed of highly realistic games that 
give complete freedom to the player within the game world.
The player is cast as a gangster who car-jacks vehicles and performs 
contract work for various crime bosses.
The game contains a scene in which the player can hire a prostitute - 
although the graphics are limited to a shaking car parked under a tree - 
but this is not required to complete the game.
The OFLC objected to the fact that the player can bash and kill the 
prostitute for money after having sex with her.
Cant wait for Grand Theft Crypto.

But gold is, at least for this sort of discussion, illiquid. How many gold
coins do you have in your pocket right now? I'll wager asymptotic to nill.

Actually the payment for the fee for the assayist and the mint aren't
likely to come out of the metal they are processing today. Now if we were
talking of a 'frontier' sort of situation then you wouldn't have those
fees going back into circulation, at least not immediately. In that case
the 'cut' would be collected over some suitable period of time and then
sold. Or the assayist could simply take their cut on the upstream broker
payment (this assumes of course they have sufficient liquid capital in
hand).

But these examples, at least from the perspective of the money changer are
dealing with effectively 'unlimited' cash pools to draw from.

Your objections to Adams points don't hold.

I fully agree that a server sustaining play money is a good
start, but I see no prospect that e-cash could be introduced
without convertibility.

Cato recently had an article discussing the same matter as
Danny DeVito, at somewhat greater length.

The point that they made was that even if everyone was better
off for adopting some arbitrary form of fiat money as money,
it would not be adopted, because of the critical mass
problem.  With all existing examples of fiat money, this
critical mass problem was overcome by first issuing it as
convertible, non fiat money, then later suspending
convertibility.

Suspension of convertibility was accompanied by some other
form of free lance confiscation, in the form of legal tender
laws that guaranteed that debts contracted for silver could
be paid by paper, even though the value of the paper had
fallen well below the value of the silver, with the result
that creditors suffered dramatic losses, and debtors dramatic
gains.

While issue of a purely fiat digital currency without state
backing would be an interesting experiment, such a currency
could never gain value, never become useful as a medium of
exchange.

With an in person transaction, this is not a problem.  If
either party defaults, violence will ensue, and the cost of
the violence will greatly exceed the value to be stolen.

E-gold now supports this capability.  Since one can now do
e-gold transfer's through one's sprint cell phone, one can
now exchange e-gold for suitcases of cocaine, though because
e-gold is somewhat traceable, one would be unwise to do this.

However the niche market where most people expect the
introduction of digital cash is internet transactions, where
breaking the defaulter's neck is not a viable option.

e-cash will be most useful for sales of information,
especially pornography in its more controversial forms, and
sales of rights over assets that do not involve any
accompanying physical movement of assets.

Processing Child Support

2001-12-25 Thread harriet





 Imagine how wonderful it would feel to help a large number of children in your area and 
making $4,000 to $12,000 per month doing it?
  

Helping needy children and parents AND at the same time supporting your own family very well financially.

Every day in your community there are single parents struggling to make ends meet and wondering where the money will come from to cover their children's basic expenses. 

Most of these parents are hard working people who just need help from the person who has a legal responsibility to give it to them. 


 Every day a large number of parents call us for help in collecting their child support.
   Many more than we can possibly handle.  We need the help of caring and dedicated people who would like to enter a new high paying prestigious profession. 

The court has decided how much these parents are to receive but the caseloads are so large that the results are that there is over 
 $32 Billion dollars worth of uncollected Child Support in the US today
  and this amount grows by millions every week.  

If you would be interested in helping us, then 
 we have all of the training that you will need to start a new business in this high growth profession of "Child Support Processing!"
  

We have the resources available to you to help you track down deadbeat parents and force them to pay what they legally owe, without ever having to come into contact with them! 


 We have the most extensive Computer Data Bases in the world for the processing of Child Support. 
  Our databases allow you to track down dead beats, find their assets and then collect the child support, which is due.  These powerful databases will be available to you if you choose to join us.


 You can do what private investigators do, legally, and for a fraction of what it would normally cost! And you can do it from the comfort of your own home office! 
 

More details about our Child Support Collection Course:


 Child Support Collection has reached epidemic proportions, $32 billion nationally
 ; state agencies are simply too understaffed!  State agencies are typically very happy when we assist a parent.  We find the dead beat and their assets and the state agencies are pleased to use their government powers, working with us, to collect the back child support. 


 Our Child Support Collection course teaches you to how locate the DEAD-BEAT parent, their assets, employment, bank accounts and how to collect on those assets. 
 

The manual supplies the forms, brochures, and child support business methodology. 

We also have the most powerful reporting capabilities at your disposal to help you track down dead-beat parents. 


 Unpaid child support is an epidemic . . . and you can be the cure! 
 

As our national and local media remind us every day, millions of custodial parents are struggling to raise their families without the child support to which they are entitled. In fact, you or someone you know is probably tackling this problem right now. 


 This Child Support Collection Course teaches you to recover your own child support payments. Or you can learn to help others in need, earning about 25% to 30% of what is collected.  That translates to $4,000 . . . $8,000 . . .even $12,000 earned each month collecting for others! You'd be hard-pressed to come up with any other legal business opportunity that allows you to earn such a significant income while performing such a valuable community service. 
 

Not only do you have the potential to make thousands of dollars a month recovering delinquent child support payments, you'll also "earn" the gratitude of custodial parents and their children who are finally receiving the money they're due! 

You might be thinking a successful child support recovery business would require a difficult time commitment or a lot of expensive equipment. Not at all! You can make thousands of dollars each month, part-time or full-time, working from your home, with only a telephone and a home computer! 

This course places you at the leading edge of a major national trend, namely, privatizing the recovery of delinquent child support payments. Whereas the government succeeds only one fifth of the time in this area, well-trained private parties are doing four times better! 

And remember every time you recover a payment, you can earn 25% to 30% of what you find! 


 We provide step by step instructions for you to follow, enabling you to collect all back-owed child support for yourself or anyone else you choose. It is not necessary to have in-depth legal knowledge or even a college education.
 

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, absent parents in the United States have a big bill to pay: $32 billion in delinquent child support payments. That is over 15 million cases, with 1.5 million new cases added every year. More than half of court-ordered child support cases become delinquent at some time, and in
