There has been a lot of this going on lately.

The FBI have been cracking down on people with anarchist literature for the last year or so.  One suspects, given the "anarchist threat" to national security is roughly on a par with the "Steppe People's Invasion Threat" to American security, this has more to do with Occupy, people hating on banks and deterrence than anything else.

I wonder what they'll make of us.

Anarchy is saying that Government Makes No Sense.

Discordians say Sense Makes No Sense.

I give it 24 months max before rubber chickens are classified as a Schedule I Narcotic.

And when half of us get hauled off to indefinite detention, Iason and all the other spags that abandoned us for Zuckerberg will start going on about how they knew us when.  Then they'll play some more farmville.

If you ever read any Emma Goldman, you're screwed.

Hell, quoting Voltaire is in dodgy territory...don't you know about Voltairine de Cleyre?  I think we need to check your library card and take you in for questioning.

In other news concerning a blossoming police state, this notice was seen in downtown Manhattan two days ago:

Dear Pace Students, Faculty, and Staff,

Monday, September 17 is the first anniversary of Occupy Wall Street. As a precautionary measure, NYPD will establish check points throughout Lower Manhattan. It is important that employees and students carry Pace ID cards in order to gain access through these checkpoints. Locations of the checkpoints are still to be determined.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Vincent Beatty

Director of Security

Emma Goldman, you say?  I'm on it.  I wonder how much a PDF copy of her stuff is at Amazon?

Unless the copyright has been renewed, most of her stuff is over 70 years old.  It's probably free, if not next to free.

That said, you should probably purchase some Bakunin, Tucker and Kropotkin, just to be sure.

On it.  But I'm going to use Amazon regardless of its copyright status, on account of buying it from a known snitch using a credit card.

Yeah, I thought that might be the plan.

Just, if it was free, you could then use the Kindle.  It'd still leave an electronic paper trail, but it could be done for free.

If you really want to get onto the FBI's watchlist, I could probably name half a dozen books that would get their interest....I mean, apart from the back catalogue of Paladin Press, because that's just obvious.

Send em to me.

I love the idea of Mr Solid Middle Class being investigated for reading puerile blather.

And, yeah, Kindle is the way to go.

I didn't even hear about that. Net, did you?

Nope.

I wonder if they've got a case file on me ever since I watched a PBS documentary on Emma Goldman a decade ago.

I'm going to Prague with my class for five days next month, and now they've just banned hard liquor sales. How nice of them to take precautions.

Cain

I bought back several bottles of hard liquor from Prague and now I'm not sure if they're safe to drink.

Cain

The UK is deporting 80 Tamils back to Sri Lanka, where they will almost certainly be tortured and executed.

Of course, this shouldn't be too surprising, for anyone who knows how Britain helped fuck up Sri Lanka by importing thousands of cheap Tamil labourers in the first place, spurring the development of Sinhalese Buddhist nationalism, spurring a reaction in the form of the Tamil Tigers, creating a reaction which culminated in mass slaughter and detention camps for the Tamil people a couple of years back.

But it's still pretty shitty.
