Agora! Apostasy! Action!

Kyle Bennett has posted An Agorist Manifesto in 95 Theses over at the Free Agents Network social site

Worth a look, in my view. And, as Kyle says: “Suitable for nailing to an appropriate door near you…”

One might respond to [a certain discourse] by noting that we are all already, in fact, free.

That the state exists only in our minds and the minds of billions.

And that if defending one’s free life in a crisis against one of the state’s brainwashed minions might mean – gasp – violence, and violence is kinda “off the table” now because there’s “so much else to be done” or “education is the key” or one’s philosophy speaks (rightly) to “peace and trade” as desirable while downplaying (imho, wrongly) the role of self-defense in preserving and seizing one’s liberty, well, one’s not really acting like a free person.

And that if one is in that spot, dithering about whether or not it’s the right time to defend oneself, then one is not really free yet. That the state still exists in one’s mind, binding and constraining one, contrary to one’s true nature.

And may one’s chains rest lightly upon one, should one find oneself there.

Free Agents Network is up and running, and I’m coordinating the tech aspects of things for the group, at least initially. The new social network is in place, too, and growing rapidly.

It’s time for me to cut ties with B*reaucrash, so after posting this message I’m deleting my profile here. Interested parties are welcome to join me and friend me at social.fr33agents.com. You’re also welcome to follow me at my main site, nostate.com, and if you’re interested in becoming a blogger for liberty yourself, take a look at the new thing I just launched, Freedom Blogs.

While I, personally, have lost faith, I do wish all those who remain here the greatest success in using B*reaucrash as a vehicle for the advancement of liberty. Liberty now, liberty everywhere, liberty for everyone, liberty forever.

Until we meet again….

First, last week an anonymous donor sent US$250. Thank you *very* much!

Second, I’d like to ask the rest of my readers for some support.

Why?

• Maybe you just like what I’m doing here, and want to encourage more of it.
• Maybe you find my podcasting voice so sexy that it makes you feel dirty not paying for the privilege of hearing it.
• Maybe you’re sympathetic to the fact that earnings in my translation business are down by more than 70% since December with the recession, and that I’m really having trouble making ends meet.
• Maybe you’re thrilled by the fact that I’ve been devoting my now copious free time to being the technical coordinator, chief implementer and blog administrator for the Free Agents Network, and that I’m in the process of taking on similar duties for the Motorhome Diaries as well.
• Or maybe giving just makes you feel good.

Anything you can send would be most welcome. If you click “Support nostate.com” above, you’ll find a variety of methods by which to make a contribution.

Thanks for your patience with my blegging!

Peace,

Mike

And I just put up a post over there introducing the Fr33 Tech team, which I find myself, er, leading, or something.

If it’s quiet around here, you can bet that I’m busy over there, largely behind the scenes.
