The below site is one of the larger "white-pride" hate-group watering holes that I have been monitering for a few weeks. A short peek inside will give the morbidly curious a glimpse at just how skewed and absurd their fascist white-pride ideology is. They tout their ideas as philosophical, when all they do is wallow in wanna-be tautological postulates and further attmept, ATTEMPT, to justify their mental inferiority and feel good about their hatred.
These are the ones who need to be recognized.

In short, KNOW YOUR ENEMY. These people will be the stormtroopers and shock-troopers that will give their lives willingly for a police-state, and kill for the destruction of our ideals, as long as it claims to be in the name of an ethnically pure and "untainted" world.
These are the ones we need to watch for. these will be the nameless robots who work day-in, day-out to destroy us. They hold Anarchists in equal contempt with the other HUMANS that they deem inferior. Well, in short,
fuck them.
Those "White Nationalists," those neo-fascists who are trying so hard to undermine what freedom stands for, those are the ones who will be our immediate enemy. The fatter cats, the imperial devils in their suits and ties, will use them as the pawns to destroy us.
In short, follow your leader, and stick a gun in your mouth while saluting the Fuhrer one last time.
I digress--
Do what you will with the site. By all means spam it, send some malicious code, or better yet, prove the bastards wrong. I can't read anything on the site for more than five minutes without becoming wracked with anger, and I think you'll understand what I mean if you have a look for yourself. Know that these animals are out there, and that they're hunting for our freedom too.

Mutual Aid Today
I live in a rural Pennsylvania area. The times that I can escape the web of evangelism, bigotry and intolerance that run rampant here, I treasure. But, there are a group of people that I do admire, and look up to with a great amount of respect. These people are the local Amish families that make up a good population of my county.
I've talked to many Amish people on a regular basis, beacause they frequent the whole-sale grocery store that I work at. The stereotype that they are all thick-headed, heavy-handed brow-beaters is, simply put, completely false. Many of the farmers I talk to have engaged me with thought-provoking religious conversations (not debates), and I am always intrigued by just how much knowledge they have. One man in particular is a master craftsman, who uses not only simple tools (he whittles, carves, etc.) but also has a mastery over machines. Though I wont name him here on the internet out of respect for his religious views, he is, in my opinion, a brilliant man. He can run an electric lathe, a thresher, and a steel-grinder and punch to make silverware and bowls. He makes his own chairs and furniture with an ancient scroll saw and sand-belt. Yes, the tools he uses are electric, but in today's world, the necessity has finally taken over the stigma that the Amish have had for such devices for so long (and I am happy about this).
Besides usually having a great amount of knowledge and experience using tools and laboring, the Amish are the most ardent and dedicated to helping each other out. They practice a form of Mutual Aide that I honestly have not seen in use anywhere else in the world. For this, I admire them even more.
A local barn burned down, and the Amish family saved there house, but lost many dairy cows and bulls to the blaze. Not a day after, the rest of the community, some people even that lived forty miles south, showed up, bearing gifts and ready to rebuild the barn. Due to their impeccable ability as workmen, the barn was rebuilt in nine days. The family received food in barrels (traditional PA Dutch, of course!), and when the families departed, they had left them enough money to buy back the majority of the cows lost.
This story was recounted to me by my friend, and he has told me of many such instances. The promptness and dedication that the entire Amish community takes in helping each other is awe-inspiring. They are the template for what a society built on mutual aide could be like. I admit, their own religion keeps them down, and subjugates them with its stifling of creativity, but looking at the whole picture, those people amaze me.
If everyone had a little shred of the Amish work ethic and loyalty to one another, this world would be a much better place.

Fight
Ideas for those who wish to participate in a little Direct Action....
1) Paint Bulbs-- Pick your favorite store (Wal-Mart, Kentucky Fried Chicken, or even, dare I say it, the local Police Station?!) and "redecorate" it with these compact little devices. To create, take a light-bulb and carefully, with a knife or some other implement, chip away the black part on the bottom. Then, with a pair of needle-nosed pliers remove the filament. Now, you should basically have a glass container, and that's what you want. Fill with paint (Red? Black?) and cap with a little square of duct tape. Throw at whatever you want. Splatters nicely and if you fill it with quick dry model paint or the like (I'm talking permanent here) it's a sonofabitch to get off.
2)Robin Hood Crime-- Go to the local grocery store and steal food. Donate these foods (canned, etc.) to local charities, or better yet, avoid the corporate channel and give it to some people in need in person. Do the same with jackets, blankets and socks. You can make off with a lot of socks from Wal-Mart if you know how to do it. Wear a jacket and slip a bag under the armpit, then walk out. They have no anti-theft strip. Believe me, if you've ever talked to a homeless person, they'll tell you what a godsend socks are.
3)Artistic Vandalism-- This is common sense. Take your favorite quote (Anarchy is Order, etc.) and plaster it everywhere. Use spray-bottles, carve it into cheap plastic and mirrors, scrawl with felt-tip pens, etc. Visit www. crimethinc.com for some very provocative and informational stickers that you can throw up everywhere. These little thought-bombs do a lot of good in getting the message out, check the site, it's really great.
4)Free Information-- Print off a sheaf of your favorite pamphlets and stick them all over. Good spots are the courthouse, local library, local bulletin boards, etc. Or, you could be very bold and put an info box on some "public" property. Take a mailbox or some receptacle and fill it with your chosen leaflets. Stick this on the aforementioned "public" property, maybe with a sign advertising Free Info. when it gets ripped down, put another one back up.
5)Start a Collective-- Find some people that have similar interests. Advertise an, "Alternative Politics Study Group" etc, and see how many people reply via email. Talk to people. Find out how many other Pirates there are in your town, you might be surprised!! Leave that same email on the pamphlets that you plant around town. You might be surprised how many responses you get. Hit up College hangouts if you are that age. If not, talk to people that congregate at work, school, etc.
If things get rolling, meet a few times a month and just talk at first. Get a feel for how the "group members," read individuals, feel about politics etc. Then, after a couple meetings, see if they would like to participate in some Direct Action. It doesn't have to be heavy, it can be something as simple as some Direct Charity. Regardless of how deep your action goes, you're making a difference, and now you have some allies. You'll likely make some good friends through this, don't forget about that! Encourage group members to share personal skills with the rest of the group so you can all benefit from them. Encourage learning, and HAVE FUN.
More later maybe. I take no responsibility for what anyone does with this info, just......uh....food for thought?

Chicago Republic Windows and Doors Strike
I lay in my bed, sick as a dog from a "gastrointestinal virus" (which means the doctors couldn't name what was really wrong with me, and I am vomiting so hard it comes out of my nose...) but CNN has some good news for me...
So the people employed at this Republic Windows and Doors plant in Chicago were given three days notice that they were out of work, and that it wasn't a layoff, it was permanent. The Union that the employees had joined for protection mobilized into action...
Basically, they couldn't go on strike--they were out of work anyway!! So, they occupied the factory in shifts, 250 former employees, and vowed not to move until they got severance and vacation pay. A group outside the factory (that is, not the ones inside sitting in) protested outside, spreading leaflets and waving signs, letting the public know just how they were being treated.
So, first off....
I am elated that the workers here are taking matters into their own hands. Too many people are happy to just be a cog in a machine. They either don't care about their rights, or are too uninformed to even know that they HAVE any, and that's a sad but true case in many workplaces.
WELL DONE to the workers and the local Union Heads--you managed to not get tangled in all of the usual bullshit that can make Labor Unions fail (Decay from within, position-power-plays, etc.) and you did what needed to be done, you protected the veigns and arteries of this country, the workers. And you did it well.
NOW--
Why the hell were the workers not given the 60-day notice that any other company would have given them? What if they hadn't been unionized? What if the people had not taken that precaution, and were thus left without any protection from this treatment?? These people's lives would've been in shambles as a result of this fucking three day notice..... It actually makes me physically angry to think of the repercussions that those families would have had to endure after this three-day notice.
In closing, it's a WIN for the unions, and a WIN for the PROLETARIAT that keeps our country chugging along, the steel worker, the fiber-glass cutter, the carpenter, those people who get their hands dirty and provide us with so many of the goods we take for granted. More people need to fight for them, and when big corporations try to pull this garbage again, we need to take note, and fight with them for their rates.
And for the record, Blagojevich is a moron................

Mumbai
I wake and find another reason to lose faith in the capabilities of the human race to solve problems without violence.
The events in Mumbai are revolting. This terrorism cannot be justified as patriotism, because the ends it fulfills are not only unclear, but moreso, almost nonexistent. A statement being made? Yes. But it is written in blood and despair, not ink.
183 dead so far. More than 200 wounded and for what? I still have yet to see the goal or message that these fools were trying to get across. Wanton violence and death, so many children now orphaned in the most literal sense. And no one even knows WHAT YOU WERE TRYING TO SAY.
Peace be with those who have lost so much in India. You are victims of a mutated and insane ideology that glorifies and worships hate, upheld by the mentally unfit. This ideology is religion.
My thoughts most truly go out to all of you.
