Beyond Civil Disobedience Part 1
Actions With Purpose, Within the ZAP

multi-part series
lay the groundwork
not specific today
time we get serious
Irwin Schiff in prison for the rest of his life
Adam Kokesh
("Alex, this IS an armed revolt against the American government. Make no mistake about it." - Adam Kokesh to Alex Jones, 5-6-2013)
Rich Paul - 20 years
We can't afford these kinds of losses! (wars of attrition)
there's too much at steak to go into this blindly or naively

we can have a wide array of weapons and a broad diverse support base, if we play this correctly

If we play this game foolishly, we will be doomed to pass the fight on to another generation
(lost opportunities, early Jericho, 1789, 1860, 1913, 1969, today) (talk about different times when we could have won)

There are many parts to play.
The unseen is more important than the seen.
Activism is not limited to one method
We don't all need to move to San Francisco and put flowers in our hair.

Individuals will beat collectivism

learn from the peace movement
The whole anti-war, hippy, freedom, free love, flower power, youth movement, tune in turn on and drop out, of the 60's: It all depended on the continuation of one thing; the draft. Not the Vietnam war, not freedom, not drugs, not love, it all hinged on the draft.
One man killed the peace movement. Milton Friedman.
http://blog.heritage.org/2012/07/31/milton-friedman-father-of-the-all-volunteer-military/
Milton Friedman was the visionary that could see that the only way to efficiently run a military state was with a volunteer army. Eliminate the draft, thereby killing the peace movement, then create economic incentives for the poor to join the military.
Now you have a military that is motivated by a blend of radically patriotic officers and economically desperate foot soldiers.
Milton Friedman killed the peace movement and set the foundation for permanent war. (1973)
(explain the conservative mindset in 1973)
(don't know the mind of Friedman, assume good, sought efficiency in government, Bastiat)

Modern Government requires;
control of the money supply
control of the media
complacency of the public
a permanent state of war with a military willing to turn on the public

During the 20th century that Beast, the State made four critical advancements;
1) Adoption of fascism by instituting the Federal Reserve system and the introduction of income tax.
(remember, this was the cure for the robber barons with their evil trusts, and the dirty bankers)
2) Complete control of broadcast media
(Radio Act of 1912-Titanic, the camel's nose under the tent)
(Radio Act of 1927-Solve the problems of only two frequencies)
(the solution to naughty words on the radio)(shaving cream)
(FCC 1934-teeth in the dragon's mouth, networks took over and fascism controlled the airwaves)
(parallel development in movie industry)(by 1934 all movies had to be child friendly)
(Mark Twain to H.L. Mencken fought censorship)
3) Public cooperation with the New Deal fascism and the income tax
(WWII rationing rollback made the New Deal palatable, and Milton Friedman made the IRS tolerable) 
4) The adoption of permanent war.
(began with WWII, threatened by the peace movement, fully implemented on September 11, 2001)

The only thing left for the maturity of the State into its final stage is the unification of the nations under a single governing body. This is going to happen. We can't and shouldn't try to stop this.
We have a small window of time to prepare for this and adapt so that as it happens we will be insulated from it.
The struggle of the unification of the nations under a single governing body will result in a violent bloody death of the State.

Understanding and clarifying our role in this process is critical.
David's stone dropped Goliath to the ground, but David used Goliath's sword to slay the giant.
I have emphasized before, that we can't fight the government using the weapons of the government, and we can't fight the State using the tools of the State.
Jesus scolded Peter for striking the government goon who came to take Jesus away.
But Jesus also said that the day would come when the sword would be needed.
(When Goliath is on the ground, not before!)

Activism is not limited to one method

Individuals will beat collectivism
Individuals working at what they do best

learn a lesson from rock and roll

Nashville, Motown, New York, London, San Francisco, LA, Atlanta, Austin, Seattle
All very different.
All added something important.

Our activism must be based on the unique characteristics of each individual
I'm not trying to bury activism, I'm trying to set it free

Civil disobedience is largely a pacifier.
It's not useless, but it's not the real thing either.

Lets take a moment and consider what we are doing, why we are doing it, and if it will acomplish what we want.

Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary
Civil Disobedience:
Civil disobedience is a symbolic or ritualistic violation of the law, rather than a rejection of the system as a whole. The civil disobedient, finding legitimate avenues of change blocked or nonexistent, sees himself as obligated by a higher principle to break some specific law. By submitting to punishment, the civil disobedient hopes to set a moral example that will provoke the majority or the government into effecting meaningful political, social, or economic change. 

John Rawls said in 1971, that civil disobedience is a public, non-violent and conscientious breach of law undertaken with the aim of bringing about a change in laws or government policies. On this account, the persons who practice civil disobedience are willing to accept the legal consequences of their actions, as this shows their fidelity to the rule of law.

John Rawls literally wrote the book on modern political philosophy 

Both of these definitions point out that an act of civil disobedience is a statement about the immorality of a specific law, while an endorsment of the legitimacy of the existing system.

Rawls: On this account, the persons who practice civil disobedience are willing to accept the legal consequences of their actions, as this shows their fidelity to the rule of law. 

An act of civil disobedience is an affirmation of the divinity of the State.
No matter the intention of the anarchist, an act of civil disobedience is an act of protest, yet at the same time it is an act of submission.

I don't condemn anyone who peaceably engages in civil disobedience.
I agree that acts of civil disobedience can and have forced governments to adopt less tyrannical policies.
I agree that acts of civil disobedience have been used to educate and motivate people to change their views of laws and governments. It is useful for this purpose.

An act of civil disobedience can:
1) influence government to change a law or policy
2) awaken people to a cause
3) drive a majority to change a government

But ultimately, acts of civil disobedience are not directly productive to the goal of anarchy because they affirm the divinity of the State.

As I've said before, government is not the enemy of the anarchist. The religion of the State is the enemy of the anarchist, because it's faith in the State that justifies government, in the eyes of the people and in the eyes of those people who act-out the evils of government.

The principled anarchists have to find a ways to insulate themselves from the evils of government while exposing the religion of the State.
The vast majority of anarchist activism must be in the fields of producing wealth and using that wealth to educate those who can hear our argument.

But some anarchists will be driven to actively fight the government.
This CAN be productive to our cause, if it is done with wisdom and according to the Zero Aggression Principle.

The Zero Aggression Principle is a moral stance which asserts that aggression is inherently illegitimate. Aggression, for the purposes of the ZAP, is defined as the initiation of, or the realistic threat of, violence against a person or their legitimately owned property. Specifically, aggression is any unsolicited action by an individual that physically affects another individual or their property, no matter if the result of that action is intended to be damaging, beneficial, or neutral.
In contrast to pacifism, the Zero Aggression Principle does not preclude violence used in self-defense or in the defense of others.

Anarchists should:
1) Educate people on the evils of government. (the moral argument)
2) Point out the failures of government when governments fail to do the things they claim the exclusive right to do. (the practical argument)

Examples:
1:
tax, redistribution of wealth, confiscation laws; all immoral
Putting people in cages doesn't produce justice (give examples)
2
putting people in cages hardens actual criminals and criminalizes the innocent (give examples)
40,000 highways deaths per year in the US alone, (thanks for the roads, here's your headstone)

Anarchists have two more options:
3) Make money from the failures of government, funneling some of that money back to the cause
4) Assist the government in its path of self destruction (don't poke the dragon, slowly poison his soup)

Civil disobedience should be considered in the same category as voting, petitioning a senator, lobbying, speaking out at a town hall meeting, writing letters to a congressman, giving political donations, volunteering for a political campaign,

Intentionally voting or supporting a really bad (totalitarian) candidate
(not a bad idea, but not so good)(may seem pragmatic, drive the desire for liberty)(ultimately immoral)

The principled anarchists have to find a ways to insulate themselves from the evils of government while exposing the religion of the State.
The vast majority of anarchist activism must be in the fields of producing wealth and using that wealth to educate those who can hear our argument.

Specifically, aggression is any unsolicited action by an individual that physically affects another individual or their property, no matter if the result of that action is intended to be damaging, beneficial, or neutral.
In contrast to pacifism, the Zero Aggression Principle does not preclude violence used in self-defense or in the defense of others.

collectivist thinking:
it's self defense to strike at the government (agents of the government)
congradulations, you are a socialist

Violence within the ZAP:
defense of self or property (defense of those who seek your service) against individuals

Violence not within the ZAP:
collectivist defense; attacking members of a group because other members of that group are aggressive
(example: Barney and Andy. You can't punish Andy because Barney is a jerk.)

Violence within the ZAP:
damaging unowned property

Violence not within the ZAP:
directly causing the innocent to suffer for your cause

Violence within the ZAP:
causing government to spend money

Violence not within the ZAP:
any exploding device, as it creates the risk of harming the innocent

Violence within the ZAP:
targeting individuals for retaliation
(Larken Rose advice)(morally acceptable, questionably effective, mostly counterproductive)

Anarchists should:
1) Educate people on the evils of government. (the moral argument)
2) Point out the failures of government when governments fail to do the things they claim the exclusive right to do. (the practical argument)

Anarchists have two more options:
3) Make money from the failures of government, funneling some of that money back to the cause
4) Assist the government in its path of self destruction (don't poke the dragon, leave Legos out for him to step on at night)

compare Sinn Fein and the Irish Republican Army to public anarchists and underground anarchists
separate groups with Plausible Deniability

Plausible Deniability :
The term most often refers to the denial of blame in chains of command, where senior figures assign responsibility to the lower ranks, and records of instructions given do not exist or are inaccessible, meaning independent confirmation of responsibility for the action is nearly impossible. In the case that illegal or otherwise disreputable or unpopular activities become public, high-ranking officials may deny any awareness of such acts or any connection to the agents used to carry out such acts. The lack of evidence to the contrary ostensibly makes the denial plausible, that is, credible. The term typically implies forethought, such as intentionally setting up the conditions to plausibly avoid responsibility for one's actions or knowledge.

Our public image must be no more harmful than Robin Hood of Keene.
Our actual actions must be more like Fight Club

No one acts alone, everyone acts alone

The Underground Anarchist

Every underground anarchist must be unencumbered by family connections and personal possessions.
If an FBI agent can threaten to take you child, or if the comfort of your couch and 72" flat screen are precious to you, you need to stay in the above ground network, earn money and give to the cause, or stick with educating people about liberty.

Before any underground anarchist takes an action that can get him arrested, secure lines of communication must be established and maintained.
Pidgin
Bitmessage
encrypted email
secure telephones
Liberty Phones

know the basics before you act

Hack Like A Pro

Know your enemy/know yourself

Modern Government requires;
control of the money supply
control of the media
complacency of the public
a permanent state of war with a military willing to turn on the public

The final stage of the State; the unification of the nations under one (or three) governing bodies

We fight by:
alternative currencies, alternative markets in everything
alternative media, alternative communications
public outreach, charity, education
monkey wrenches in every gear of the machine, while avoiding direct confrontation
bleed the government through a million tiny cuts
turn government against government like the firefighters vs riot police in Spain

Agorism, black markets, smuggling, prostitution, non-protest tax evasion; none of these are civil disobedience. They are not protests, they are way of making money within the ZAP.

The principled anarchists have to find a ways to insulate themselves from the evils of government while exposing the religion of the State.
The vast majority of anarchist activism must be above ground, providing for our families, producing wealth and working to educate those who can hear our argument.

But some anarchists will be driven to (from deep inside) to go beyond education, beyond agorism, beyond civil disobedience, and to actively fight, to go underground, to go full on Fight Club.
This CAN be productive to our cause, if it is done with wisdom and according to the Zero Aggression Principle.

There will come a time that we will be forced to move beyond civil disobedience.
We have to prepare for that time now, while we can
We need to establish the perimeters, what is and isn't done
Systems of support must be in place ahead of time
funding

cloaking
Cars:

clean back seat
clean floors
non-blackened windows
valid registration, insurance papers, up to date license
be super helpful, polite, have (seemingly) nothing to hide
NO STICKERS! (except maybe happy family/soccer/cheerleader stickers)

your style of dress:
fit in your surroundings
dress to fit the weather
no trench coats
no 420 shirts
no visible bulges (gun bulges)
"normal" hair

No Muslim should be an underground anarchist in the western world
(already a target)(already susceptible to persecution)
Talk about how the general public cheered at the butchery by the police who murdered Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and the treatment of  Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The public become savages when given the opportunity. Too much hate in America for Muslims to be safe and active in the movement.
(Maybe too much for this series. Needs a whole show about Boston and the murder of Dzhokhar.)
(figure out how to pronounce their names!)

Monkey wrenches and Legos:
monkey wrenches in every gear of the machine, while avoiding direct confrontation
(Do a really crappy job/the Homer Effect)
(Art Sepulveda)
(Jews building rifles for Nazis)

Don't piss in the king's well, piss in his cup
George Stone

The use of phenolphthalein in the protection of your lunch

From the book Don't Get Mad, Get Even: The Big Book of Revenge by George Hayduke
"The one thing the Establishment is prepared for is a violent frontal attack. They may be pure lard inside, but they've got twenty-four inches of armor plate in the front."

Avoid a "frontal attack". Never let your enemy know you are his enemy.

Anarchists should not:
follow the path of Earth First!, The Earth Liberation Front (ELF), the Animal Liberation Front

avoid attention, avoid infiltration, avoid centralization
Remember the lesson of the Judi Bari Car Bombing (Earth First)
(FBI set her up with a bomb under her seat, almost killed her, then charged her with transporting a bomb)(BATF was suppose to investigate, but the FBI blocked them)
(media conviction)

fear of infiltration can be as harmful as infiltration
(talk about the fear of infiltration in the Free State Project)
(allow/encourage infiltration in the above-ground movement)
(keep the underground movement clean of infiltration)

Robert Anton Wilson and Karl Hess
(link in show notes, once at YouTube open the 'About' tab for the audio link)
infiltration and the paranoia it produces
If the government knows who your group is they will infiltrate you
(this is fine, so long as the above ground is seperate from the underground)
Individuals can be compromised (family/possessions/incarceration)
fear of infiltration can be as harmful as infiltration

keep action groups small (underground)

(back to Hess and Wilson)
Government grinding to a temporary halt
100,000 fake tax forms, molasses in the engine of government
fake arrest records for government and media 
photoshopped scandals/anonymous leaks

embrace the anarchist hacker community
they have what we lack and we have what they lack

Beyond Civil Disobedience Part 4
Actions With Purpose, Within the ZAP

Do not listen to this podcast if you have not heard the first 3 parts

(recap)
We must all know our role
I am not asking anyone to do anything
I am not asking anyone to take a risk

Civil disobedience is a symbolic or ritualistic violation of the law, rather than a rejection of the system as a whole. 
(John Rawls considered civil disobedience within the scope of law, not outlaw, not anarchist)

Civil disobedience should be considered in the same category as voting, petitioning, lobbying, speaking at a town hall meeting, writing letters to a congressman, giving political donations, volunteering for a political campaign,

Even the word "disobedience" indicates an acceptance of collectivist authority.
(freedom and obedience are opposites)(slaves obey, free people either choose or decline to cooperate)

No matter the intention of the anarchist, an act of civil disobedience is an act of protest, yet at the same time it is acknowledging the authority of the government.

I don't condemn anyone who peaceably engages in civil disobedience.

No matter the activity, always weigh the cost. If you can't pay the piper, don't join the dance!

Think of the iconic images from Tiananmen Square.
Now remember, the guy standing in front of the tanks, he was likely killed along with maybe 1,000 more students and protestors.

Agorism, black markets, smuggling, prostitution, non-protest tax evasion; none of these are civil disobedience. They are not protests, they are way of making money within the ZAP.

The vast majority of anarchist activism must be above ground, providing for our families, producing wealth and working to educate those who can hear our argument.

But some anarchists will be driven (from deep inside) to go beyond civil disobedience, beyond education, beyond agorism, and to actively fight, to go underground, to go full on Fight Club.
It's my intention to show this CAN be productive to our cause, if it is done with wisdom and according to the Zero Aggression Principle.

I created some confusion about property:
Property is either owned or it is not owned
Individuals own property, they may share ownership, like in a marriage or a business partnership
These types of arrangements are voluntary, and sharing is a legitimate form of property ownership.

But no organization of any kind, based on forced membership, has the right to own property.
Because no organization based on forced membership can be legitimate.
Therefore it's impossible for government to legitimatly own anything.
There is no such thing as public property. (explain)

Historically, prior to the Louisiana Purchase, I'm not aware of any "government" owning property. Kings, emperors, dictators, pharaohs, and other individuals owned property, but not governments.
"The Church" owned property under the guise that the church represented "Christ on Earth", therefore the actual owner was Christ. (an individual)

So then, to break a window of a goverrnment building is not a violation of the ZAP. It may not be wise, but it's not a violation of the ZAP.
It's impossible to steal from government because government has no legitimate claim to property.
So theoreticly, if you could tunnel into Fort Knox without harming any individual or their property, and if you actually found that there was gold left in the vaults, you could homestead that gold.

(Review the Lego Distribution Network)

adhere to the ZAP
(The collectivist myth: It's self defense to strike at agents of the government)
reject collectivist thinking:
There's no such thing as collectivist guilt.
The driver for the bank robbery is not guilty of murder just because one of the other bank robbers shot a teller. This is collectivist thinking. Guilt by association. The most the driver can be guilty of is plotting the robbery (a thought crime) and assisting in the robbery. He did not rob and he shot no one.
It's the same for individuals employed by government.
(the absurdity of the Samuel Mudd case)

As I've said before, government is not the enemy of the anarchist. The religion of the State is the enemy of the anarchist.

cloaking
Strawberry Shortcake bug-out-bag
(happy drawing, smiling sun, butterflies: no one would steal it, even if it's full of guns or money)

(review)
Violence within the ZAP:
(breaking the window)
Violence outside of the ZAP:
(harming an agent of the government that doesn't present a direct threat of aggression)

Violence within the ZAP:
Blackmail
"What, exactly, is blackmail? Blackmail is the offer of trade. It
is the offer to trade something, usually silence, for some other
good, usually money. If the offer of the trade is accepted, the
blackmailer then maintains his silence and the blackmailee pays
the agreed-upon price. If the blackmail offer is rejected, the
blackmailer may exercise his rights of free speech and publicize
the secret. There is nothing amiss here. All that is happening is
that an offer to maintain silence is being made. If the offer is
rejected, the blackmailer does no more than exercise his right of
free speech." Walter Block, Defending the Undefendable, page 41

(talk about possibilities) (the obvious - judges, prosecutors, police chiefs, mayors)
(The not so obvious - night guards, data entry, IRS janitor,)

Remember this Fox News headline:
"IMF Head Pointed Out in Lineup After Sexual Assault Allegations"
hotel maid, entrapment is not against the ZAP, blackmail, extortion without violence

(review - hackers)
(talk about grifters, and skill levels)

Plausible Deniability between the above ground activists and the Lego Brigade

Look like Robin Hood of Keene.
Act more like Fight Club

No one acts alone, everyone acts alone
(what about the lone nut? The loose cannon?)
Government has perfected the lone nut. That's the beauty of it, the loner can't be connected to a group.
As soon as the loner is caught, he must be disavowed by the above ground activists.
In contrast, when a peaceful above ground activist is arrested, the whole movement must swarm to their defense.

Secure lines of communication must be established and maintained.

More Legos:
(remember Art Sepulveda)
(Jews building rifles with damaged sights for Nazis)

embrace the anarchist hacker community
they have what we lack and we have what they lack

we need the ability, not to steal identities, but to create identities within the system
Who cares if 1000 men can walk around DC with rifles, you show me the guy who can create 1000 clean passable identities and I'll rock your world!

We need to be able to move into and out of the matrix at our discretion, and alternative identities can do that for us.

Imagine 1000 passable identities.
(explain passable)
(last moments for fake birth records, technology will make it harder)
1000 identities, + 1000 SS disability accounts, = $1,000,000 per month
(So what if it takes a year and 20 people to accomplish this task!)

Hackers awaken!
Con artists, Grifters, actors, embrace the challenge! Spread the Legos!

(back to Hess and Wilson)
fake tax forms, molasses in the engine of government
fake arrest records for government and media 
photoshopped scandals/anonymous leaks (who knew John Kerry liked little boys and male ponies? and who knew Hillary likes German underground BDSM clubs?)
passports, visas, the ability to move an endangered activist to South America
We need the ability to send our agents into government facilities with all the paperwork in hand, and remove political prisoners.

If the CIA can do this, we can do this!
OR we can do it and make it look like the CIA did it!
<<<<<<<<<<-------------- None of this made it in/cover in part 5 or 6

Know your enemy
Yes, government is big and powerful, but it's also stupid, and slow, and fat, and lazy, but we need to understand why, and we need to understand how to use those flaws.
(understand how individuals in government are motivated; lazy, greedy, power hungry, fearful, misguided by a desire to do good. We need to discover their weekness and use it against them)

Above ground activists:
Recruit and infiltrate
Find disheartened government employees. People with good intentions, passed over for advancment. People beat down by the bureaucratic structure. People who's eyes are open but they are stuck in the system.
Win their hearts and minds. Use them where they are. Do not encourage them to resign, encourage them to find ways to be useful from where they are.

Turning government against government
This can be dangerous, but it's happening all the time, and will get worse as the State shifts to its next stage.
Oath Keepers are an example of this.
Not every cop, soldier, or FBI agent in Boston thought the lock-down was a good idea.
we need to find those disgruntled people and give them a voice.
When something like the lock-down happens, we need to interview door to door afterwards and give a voice to the residents and the fear they felt with guns to their children's heads.
Allow them the opportunity to say what they didn't dare say to the MSM.

(Notes for part 5 or 6
In part 4 I touched transportation-Fight Club-waiters-trash collectors, but this needs to be covered better in part 5 or 6)

Transportation:
talk about riding trains

talk about city storm drainage systems (avoid sewers)
(San Jose = 1000 miles of drains, Las Vagas/Los Angeles? )
(subways)

alternative driving methods, cutting through parking lots, not following the same path, learn alternative routes, have a bug out bag (Strawberry Shortcake)
avoid leaving your vehicle unattended
(recording devices in vehicles)

recruit the waiters and the trash man (Fight Club)

Beyond Civil Disobedience Part 5

Anarchists should:
1) Educate people on the evils of government. (the moral argument)
2) Point out the failures of government when governments fail to do the things they claim the exclusive right to do. (the practical argument)
3) Make money from the failures of government, drain government, funneling some of that money back to the cause
4) Assist the government in its path of self destruction (don't poke the dragon, slowly poison his soup)

As I've said before, government is not the enemy of the anarchist. The religion of the State is the enemy of the anarchist, because it's faith in the State that justifies government, in the eyes of the people and in the eyes of those people who act-out the evils of government.

On Monday June 3th, 2013 in Podcast #323 titled Beyond Civil Disobedience Part 3, I gave advice that would have kept Adam Kokesh from being arrested on July 9th. 
Drive a "clean car", be unencumbered, give them no reason, no grounds to harass you.
Remember the lesson of the Judi Bari Car Bombing (Earth First)
(FBI set her up with a bomb under her seat, almost killed her, then charged her with transporting a bomb)
Avoid a "frontal attack". Never let your enemy know you are his enemy.
On June 7th in Podcast # 324 titled Beyond Civil Disobedience Part 4, a month before Adam's house was raided I said;
No matter the activity, always weigh the cost. If you can't pay the piper, don't join the dance!
Think of the iconic images from Tiananmen Square.
Remember the guy standing in front of the tanks? He was likely killed along with maybe 1,000 more students and protestors.

From the BQDC Forum:
Lets review a possible conversation:
Adam : Hey team, I'm going to do something that will almost assure we will be raided and I'll be arrested.
Adam Follower #1 : Great Boss, I'll make sure the house is "clean" and all firearms and questionable substances are off site!
Adam Follower #2 : Great idea Boss, I'll set up hidden cameras on a separate hidden computer system, with upstream backup at a remote site, so when we get raided we can catch it from every angle! 
Adam : That's great! I'm sure glad I have such a competent paid team of professionals!
Of course, this was not what happened.
What actually happened appears to have been scripted by a former life coach for Aaron Hernandez or O.J. Simpson.

The "I Told You So" song.
We have to learn from the past.
There are plenty of lessons.

A Lesson From the 2008 Saint Paul Republican National Convention:

The Saint Paul Principles:
1. Our solidarity will be based on respect for a diversity of tactics and the plans of other groups.
2. The actions and tactics used will be organized to maintain a separation of time or space.
3. Any debates or criticisms will stay internal to the movement, avoiding any public or media denunciations of fellow activists and events.
4. We oppose any state repression of dissent, including surveillance, infiltration, disruption and violence. We agree not to assist law enforcement actions against activists and others.

All our activity must adhere to the Zero Aggression Principle and respect for private property.
However it's in our interest to work with others who have similar goals but may not have the same grasp on our principles. We don't have to agree or approve of them to work with them.

I am responsible for me.
You are responsible for you.
When/if we organize into groups those groups should do the same, no group should be responsible for the other. Also no group should "call out" the other.

The exception: Rats
Rats must be driven from our midst. We must never tolerate rats.
Rats, snitches, narcs, stool pidgins, rats spread disease

Above ground organizations must be clean, with no ties binding them to other organizations.
But below ground we all need to be connected.

Our public image must be no more harmful than Robin Hood of Keene.
Our actual actions must be more like Fight Club

No one acts alone, everyone acts alone

Marching on/in Washington DC is a waste of time. We don't want to change government or make it more palatable. We don't want to shrink government until its tolerable.
We want to knock Goliath down with a rock and chop off his head with his own sword!

However:

On Sunday October 13, 2013 the Million Vet March On The Memorials is going to take place at 9:00 a.m. at the World War II Memorial.
They have trademarked the phrase Million Vet March On The Memorials

Truckers Ride For The Constitution
The American people are sick and tired of the corruption that is destroying America! We therefore declare a GENERAL STRIKE on the weekend of October 11-13, 2013! Truck drivers will not haul freight! Americans can strike in solidarity with truck drivers!

Hacktivists will be protesting in Washington on November 5th

So many people upset, striking at the branches, yet so few see the roots of the problem.

Tuesday The Washington Post declared that the truckers' plan was actually a "hoax," with Earl Conlon telling the paper his comments were "designed to do one thing and one thing only: stir the feather of the mainstream media."

Fake News (Heebie-jeebies epidemic hits local middleschool)
Fake police reports given to the media (police captain anounces arrest of school cafiteria worker who intentionally spead the heebie-jeebies virus through contaminated silly straws)
Fake bomb threats (kids are learning this trick)
Fake viral videos (Jimmy Kimmel style) Cops snorting coke, cops using racial slurs, cops taking drug money bribes, Mayor soliciting a street walker,

Black Bloc
Tactics of a black bloc can include offensive measures such as street fighting, vandalism of corporate property, rioting, and demonstrating without a permit, but mainly consists of defensive tactics like misleading the authorities, assisting in the escape of people arrested by the police ("un-arrests' or "de-arrests"), administering first aid to persons affected by tear gas, rubber bullets and other riot control measures, building barricades, resisting the police, and practicing jail solidarity.

Much of this can be done while adhearing to the Zero Aggression Principle and respecting individual property rights.

Non-Metallic Covert Zirconia Ceramic Razor Blade (Wear-Resistant / Non-Dulling Cutting Edge Blade) 

The story of the Breaking Bad magnet van.
How handy would such a van be?
Bearcat?
Midnight drive past a police cruiser

Back to Black Bloc
We can supply first aid to protestors.
Transporting injured protestors away from the action.
Rolling roadblocks and staged accidents to overwhelm police during the early stages of a protest.
We can provide reconnaissance, alerting protesters to police movements, police locations, police numbers

The Lego Brigade can be a Gray Bloc

Practical example:

A 420 rally in a city park
Recon alert; police gathering corner Elm and Jackson, ready to move on the park
As they start to move toward the park, a minor accident on their route blocks the street. At the same time there happens to be an anonymous bomb threat on the other side of town.
Results:
A far more aggressive police reaction to the next 420 rally

take a look at the move The Terminal with Tom Hanks
notice the subculture within the airport, the low level workers
(explain)
These people are everywhere and they hold this whole house of cards together. Win them and you win the war!
remember Art Sepulveda and George Stone

We don't need a majority. We need a dedicated core with focused action, both above ground and below.

Learn from the preper movement:
convert cash to real wealth, hard items you can hold, durable things that won't dissapear when inflation hits. Storable food, remote land, gardening skills, gold, silver, lead
how to hide things
how to hide people
hiding in plain sight

alternative communications and communication networks

transportation networks
we need anarchist truckers
we need anarchist bus drivers
we need anarchist baggage handlers, gate gaurds, night watchmen, 

Anarchists should:
1) Educate people on the evils of government. (the moral argument)
2) Point out the failures of government when governments fail to do the things they claim the exclusive right to do. (the practical argument)
3) Make money from the failures of government, drain government, funneling some of that money back to the cause
4) Assist the government in its path of self destruction (don't poke the dragon, slowly poison his soup)

Part 5 ended here
didn't make it into the show:

(if you have time tell about Juan Carlos Ramirez-Abadia)
*willing extradition to the US from Brazil in 2008
*guilty in 2010
*sentenced to 25 years
*vanished from the system (gone!)
*connections to CIA
If the CIA can do this, we can do this!
OR we can do it and make it look like the CIA did it!

hidden anarchist campgrounds
converted warehouses
old empty motels are everywhere

methods for border crossing, north and south

Places to hide from the growing government:
(above ground)
Doug Casey's project in Argentina (safest?)
Galt's Gulch Chile (more affordable?)

(the chair is against the wall/my cousin is visiting from Uganda, he is a Virgo but his wife is a Capricorn)
(images inside of images)(gang tags transmit information)
(talk about 9/11 truthers tagging in Boston)
tagging in hard to reach places
never tag private property!!!! Never tag "beloved" idols, Lincoln, Statue of Liberty, etc
(talk about public property again)

Cab Drivers, Kidnapping, and Blackmail, Where do you draw the line?

Is it possible to detain a person against their will long enough to pose them, photo them in a negative setting, and set them up for blackmail, while remaining within the ZAP?
Could such an action be justified if done to a judge? A congressman? A district attorney?
(talk about collective guilt, be clear that collective thinking must be rejected!)

mock gun fire to disrupt sensors
Roughly 70 U.S. cities currently use ShotSpotter
ShotSpotter, the dominant gunfire detection technology on the market, gathers data from a network of acoustic sensors placed at 30-foot elevation under a mile apart. To cut costs, most cities use the sensors only in selected areas. 
"Currently, data on gun violence comes primarily from three main sources: 911 calls, mandatory reports hospitals file when they treat gunshot victims, and coroner reports on homicides or suicides involving guns. Such methods don’t document shots fired to scare people or kill animals. They also overlook, for example, gun battles in which bystanders don’t call police and victims seek to evade police attention by doctoring wounds themselves. All told, less than 20 percent of gunshots result in a 911 call"

But at least they see the need to finance their venture)
