Anarchism is a definite intellectual current in the life of our times, whose adherents advocate the abolition of economic monopolies and of all political and social coercive institutions within society. Anarchist ideas are to be found in every period of known history, although there still remains a good deal of work for historical work in this field. Such a form of economy makes an political coercive apparatus superfluous. Notes

Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death - Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775. In March 1775, at the third Virginia convention, held in St. John's Church in Richmond, to discuss relations with Great Britain, Patrick Henry made his timeless "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!" speech. King George had declared all 13 North American colonies to be in a state of open rebellion. Patrick Henry, then a Virginia militia Colonel, with his militia troops faced down Lord Dunmore, forcing the British Governor in the famous "Gunpowder Affair" to return the large quantity of gunpowder which had been set aside for the Virginia militia by the Colonial legislature. Ever since those days, the Bill of Rights 2nd Amendment "Right to Bear Arms" (including gunpowder) has been a precious liberty and guarantee of freedom for Virginians and all Americans. Listen to The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation - Richard Schuman's re-oration of Patrick Henry's powerful words spoken March 23, 1775 at St. No man, Mr. Mr. No, sir, she has none. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone.

Vancouver Media Co-op | Local Independent News Rialto, CA Police Made to Wear Cameras, Use of Force Drops by Over Two-Thirds - informationliberation HERE'S a fraught encounter: one police officer, one civilian and anger felt by one or both. Afterward, it may be hard to sort out who did what to whom. Now, some police departments are using miniaturized video cameras and their microphones to capture, in full detail, officers' interactions with civilians. Police love to say if you're not doing anything wrong, what do you have to hide, yet all over the nation police unions virulently fight calls to force them to wear cameras. Fact is, most cops have everything and more to hide. Their job is to enforce criminally idiotic and anti-human laws written by criminal politicians, from the drug laws to thousands of idiotic regulations on the books, their job is no longer to arrest violent criminals and thieves but to aggress against non-violent, non-criminals -- which turns them into criminals themselves. Rather than focus on fighting crime, the majority of the millionaire cop next door's work consists of extorting the general public for cash.
