The Etzioni- Biden- Zionist plan for "soft" partitioning Iraq

"During the interview conducted by the Jewish 'Shalom TV' Biden said, "I am a Zionist. You don't have to be a Jew to be a Zionist.""
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0%2C7340%2CL-3586542%2C00.html


"ON MONDAY, June 18, some of Washington's "usual suspects" in the controversy over the Mesopotamian war assembled at the invitation of Sen. Joseph Biden, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and George Washington University professor Amitai Etzioni. The topic for debate was the so-called "plan Z" for Iraq, which Biden has embraced and which calls for a "soft partition" of that country." http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/013/793qobod.asp


"On 26 September 2007 the United States Senate voted 75–23 in favour of an amendment to the defence spending bill for 2008 that authorises the US government to “encourage” Iraqis to find a “federal” solution to the internal conflicts in their country." http://www.historiae.org/biden.asp


As for John McCain's choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, I suppose it doesn't matter that her campaign website explained her philosophy is to promote the "common good." The little town of 9000 people (Wasilla) where she was mayor is a hotbed of communitarian rebuilding efforts. Alaska is regulating and assuming control over everything, exactly the same way it was accomplished in Seattle in 1999, at the "community level." Alaska's current government is all about "providing" the same things the Russian Communist Party promises, for a price.

Here's an example of the price:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kmktYC2E-s&eurl=http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/

Community Policing and Local Agenda 21

Over the years I've read many references made toward "those who believe in black helicopters." I had my assumptions, but I never exactly knew what was meant by that. I only remember thinking it was very rude of the facilitators in community planning meetings to ask everyone who "believes" in black helicopters to shut up and sit at the back of the rooms.

Now I just read "Black Helicopters Over America; Strikeforce for the New World Order," by Jim Keith, 1994. The first 53 pages are a list of potentially (I haven't done this) verifiable accounts of run-ins with sky terrorists and livestock mutilations printed in local newpapers. Many of the complaints he cites against sky stalking include credible witnessess like local sheriffs. If Keith was accurate, then for more than thirty years, hundreds (and maybe thousands) of Americans have been subjected to these harassing fly-overs in unmarked helicopters, some of which ended in shootouts between Americans and the flight crews. I bet every one of my countrymen who resisted and asked questions has been subjected to ridicule and scorn ever since they courageously spoke out about their experiences.

Local Agenda 21 planning committees' bold assumptions that black helicopters are a conspiracy theory rubbed off on me without my even realizing it, because I never included it as part of ACL topic research. It isn't even included on my Conspiracy Theory page. I also confused the whole topic with BlackHawk helicopters. Keith explains a lot about the role foreign troops play in the planned evacuations and containments and incudes a sampling of foreign troop/vehicle sightings and the rare mentions of these excerises in the media. Now I have read a lot about foreign troops on U.S. soil and my Katrina research verified the fact that the U.S. government used New Orleans as a pilot test for NATO's new Rapid defense troops. Over the past few years I've talked to several special forces guys about the Army patrolling the streets of New Orleans, some who tell me the 82nd was used mostly to "clean up," while others tell me I don't have a clue what was "really" going on down there. This is where the facts about what is planned and what has already happened come together.

While there are a lot of references in this book that I would never use or cite, and Keith's membership in Scientology is suspicious, I totally agree with him about the usefulness of the alien theory and I wish he were alive to expand what he wrote on page 118:

" Sans fanfare, in 1989 the federal government passed laws in all of the states authorizing the use of government funds for the creation of a "National Police force," so-called by Clinton and Gore in their book Putting Poeple First. This Frankenstein monster of a police force is currently being stitched together by placing local and state forces under a single national directorate, with an intended total force of 100,000 federal agents, a figure rendered more impressive by the realization that other agencies, including BATF, DEA, CIA, the FBI and any number of other goon squads can be utilized simultaneously with the National Police Force."


Keith never tells us the name of the National Police Force. His book, published in 1994, must have gone to print before the program was fully incorporated into U.S. Law. He died at almost the same exact time I was first introduced to the COPS.

Here's where the "idea" for a National Police Force went:

The Violent Crime Act of 1994 authorized and funded the establishment of a new federal police force called Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS). Then President Clinton promised to put 100,000 new COPS in with local police across the nation. As most of my readers already know, I was conscripted into a COPS pilot test of new enfocement procedures inserted in my neighborhood plan 1999. ACL research started with our studying government directed sustainable land use regulations and expanded when I found the COPS program. COPS' ideas for warrantless searches were considered "innovative strategies."

My COPS' research expanded to include the COPS' COMPASS database in 2000. These new policing and data gathering programs are so real and so easily verifiable that my work is used by government agencies around the world and has been cited in a Ph.D. thesis. I was on the crime mapping elist for years and made copies of certain relevant posts for the Dawson attorneys. How many times did Dawson attorney Margaret Boyle ask me, "Where the hell are you getting this stuff??? At one point Crime mapping consultant Bill Granados considered me an "expert" in COMPASS, by 2002 I was invited to join the crime mappers and help to ensure the privacy of the people targeted under COMPASS in San Bernadino County, CA. I respectfully declined because the program is specifically designed to eliminate privacy.

Part of my COPS' research led me to the online pdf file of a Joint Report by the DoD and the DoJ in 1998, a printed copy is in my 28 hardcopy binders which are all still in storage. (The joint report is included in the COMPASS binder I made for Karl Caplan at the New York Times, the same binder Bill Granados copied when he came to visit in 2002. It's also part of my subpoena documents requested by the City of Seattle in Dawson v. Seattle and in Frankenfield v. Backmon.) The 1998 Dod-DoJ report explains how necessary it was to merge domestic police with the military, how they're all basically peacekeepers now, and why they should share technology and equipment. When I first saw the Patriot Act I was amazed at how much of that report was included in the "emergency" legislation passed after 9-11. The 1998 report no longer exists online.

The local man who lent Keith's book to me is a former U.S. soldier with the 10th Mountain Division. He was a Canadian border guard prior to relocating up to our neck of the woods a few years ago. I met him because he comes to Tim for hunting and skinning advice. It's sure interesting reading his notes in the margins where he personally verifies a few clandestine domestic military activities, and he continually asks the question, "Who ARE these guys?"

My neighbor also warned me that he suspects my recent visitor from Army intelligence was probably a "spook." I admit I don't care if he is or he isn't. He approached me as a human being and regardless of why he came here I learned a lot from him, and I liked him and his wife. I truly hate all the "cloak and dagger" crap that the spies play. I'm tired of speculating on who can be trusted. All I care about now is that a U.S. Army soldier warned me about messing with the Mossad.

Another illusion I cling to is that the U.S. Army's JOB is to protect me, my family and my nation from FOREIGN terrorists, including the ones from Israel. Why is Amitai Etzioni never included in ANY lists of Zionists with Influence in the White House? Does Etzioni, a self-professed Middle Eastern terrorist have a file in the FBI's known domestic terrorist database? Why did they never answer my emails about him? Is Etzioni in the DoD or CIA's database of foreign military terrorists operating inside the USA? If not, why not? Is it possible that I am doing the job we expect the U.S. Army to do? Maybe I don't just deserve my Ph.D for our original, undisputed thesis, but also a stripe or two for my "military" service to my country.

Can't help but wonder how my dad would have reacted to one of his fellow 82nd boys warning me to be careful about exposing foreign terrorists in the White House. Are Americans really supposed to cower and run from Zionist transgressors? If Israel is "the Harvard of anti-terrorism" does it stand to reason that the Israeli military helped train whoever was flying those black helicopters? Who leads the training for urban warfare in the United States? I know American COPS train in Israel, this is a well-publicized fact. Are U.S. servicemen under the command of Israeli commandos?

Maybe our intelligence services would better serve American interests if they looked at ALL foreign nationals with access to top U.S. officials exactly the same way. With all the evidence of Israeli spying in this country you'd think our sworn protectors would at least consider the possibility that Etzioni's close ties to Israel coupled with his illegal communitarian ideas pose some kind of threat to the U.S. Is it too much to ask the folks who swear to protect and defend our law to actually investigate foreign nationals who work so tirelessly to CHANGE our law? It's not a coincidence that the U.S. Supreme Court is incorporating Talmudic Law into our court system.

Senator Evan Bayh to speak at the Democratic Convention

Senator Evan Bayh, head of the Third Way bipartisan group in the Senate, has an old page at the ACL called Bayh Watch: http://nord.twu.net/acl/bayhwatch.html

Now it appears he's a contender for VP.
http://www.thestarpress.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080814/NEWS06/80814024/1002/NEWS01

There's already a group called "100,000 Strong Against Evan Bayh for VP."

The borg speaks

Terry Catzman666 Hayfield challenged me to a public debate on newswithviews. He wasn't happy with my reference to him and his Fusionist borg in my Liberty Loses article. He wrote a few months ago and told me he was writing a new paper that would prove his theory was the only correct theory, and that it would entirely disprove mine. That would mean he is going to prove Amitai Etzioni, Robert Bellah, MaryAnn Glendon, Beau Breslin, community development, community councils, community service, community law and community policing don't exist.

Ms. Raapana,
This is in response to your essay "Individual Liberty Losing Without a Fight," published at News With Views on August 17, 2008.


It is highly unfortunate you still insist I am a member of the "Communitarian Borg." Your assessment and analysis of my position is totally incorrect. Your assumption I am part of a "Borg" is based simply and solely on the concept I effectively oppose your Conspiracy Theory.

Both our political positions are officially and in actual reality Conspiracy Theories...not any different than the wide variety of competing and conflicting Conspiracy Theories presented publishing space at News With Views and other "Patriotic" alternative news venues. There is a unified problem with Conspiracy Theories...unless one of the "Conspirators" comes clean or makes a death bed confession, the Patriotic Conspiracy Theory Community must accept the simple reality We are all just Conspiracy Theorists.

There is another problem with Conspiracy Theories. The vast majority of the popular Conspiracy Theories emanating from what I refer to as the Saving the Republic Community (SRC) are all, in one shape or manner, describing the "same thing." Simple logic dictates all these competing Conspiracy Theories cannot be correct at the same time.

The above conditions creates another problem with the wide variety of existing SRC Conspiracy Theories. These many and varied SRC Conspiracy Theories breeds confusion in the minds of the readers seriously in search of Patriotic Truth and answers. This continuing confusion only aids the still yet to be defined, common "Enemy of the Republic."

The confusion generated by the competitive and continual clash of Conspiracy Theories breeds still yet another serious problem for the future of the Republic. This "self-induced" confusion in the minds of the Patriotic readers and consumers prevents any chance of Political Fusion of the American Patriotic population. The still to be defined common "Enemy of the Republic" remains unexposed and completely intact while the loyal Patriot opposition exists in a perpetual state of confusion, bickering, disunity, and name-calling.

Our respective differences are quite simple.

Your Communitarian Conspiracy Theory is based on the concept some form of a New World Order based on Compt's Positivism will eventually be established by destroying "Individual Liberty Without a Shot." A Communitarian New World Order is a future event...it hasn't happened yet. Of course the enemy you describe is Communitarianism. In the final analysis, You must defend Capitalism.

In contrast, my Conspiracy Theory strongly indicates a New World Order already exists and has for a long time. This New World Order was established on February 29, 1797 by Royal Proclamation by His Britannick Majesty, King George III. This New World Order has been in the control of the British Royal Family since that day. The enemy in my Conspiracy Theory is a unique and unified American/British Capitalism that is continually expanding globally through the use of the Permanent Revolution of Creative Destruction controlled by the Crown and managed by the Fabian Society. Patriotically, I oppose Capitalism.

There is one final problem with Conspiracy Theories. The vast majority are based on a False Premise of some sort. And as result 99.99% of all Conspiracy Theories "will break down...not work," or to put it another way, the Conspiracy Theory will not correctly or accurately define the "Present Reality." Logic dictates a False Premise will always be false regardless of the amount of true facts presented in support of the Conspiracy Theory.

I want to make a Patriotic proposal to "settle our differences." I am quite willing to enter into a public debate format at News With Views to compare and contrast our Conspiracy Theories. I have had a similar and most successful public debate titled "Is a Permanent Revolution Occurring?" initiated by Dr. Steven Yates (a News With Views contributor) that was published in April of 2008 in the Times Examiner from Greenville North Carolina and re-printed at Michael Shaw's (another News With Views contributor) Freedom Advocates. I would much prefer an open public debate than the present one-sided "name calling contest" you have been publicly conducting against me since November of 2007. I am going to contact Jim Kouri, News Director for News With Views, to see if such a debate is possible.

I still contend you are a very energetic researcher and your expertise could be greatly beneficial to saving the Republic. No one can doubt your Patriotic zeal. We share a commonality...We both claim to be American Patriots. Let's collectively demonstrate We are Patriots.

Patriotically,

Terry Hayfield
642 Foster Street
Fostoria, OH 44830

1(419) 436-1492
I don't share any commonality with the Fusionist borg and I don't use Marxist terms or do anything "collectively." Hayfield used his contributions to Michael Shaw once before to prove he has gained recognition by people I respect. I wonder if his work has also been included in a Vassar class or a communitarian bibliography published by the National Association of Scholars?

Would there be any benefit to my agreeing to a debate with this fool?

Copper River Red Salmon turns YELLOW!!!

It seemed to get more color the longer it was in the sun.

Closeup of a yellow Copper River Red Salmon

Tim Redington holding a yellow Copper River Red

Yellow salmon next to normal looking red salmon

Tim found this yellow Copper River Red in the fishwheel this morning. He says he's never seen a red salmon turn yellow in all his 50 some years of commerical fishing in Alaska. Doubt we'll be eating this one. Haven't seen the inside yet, don't know if the flesh is yellow too. Tim plans to hand it over to a Fish and Game biologist, maybe they can tell us what happened to it. Pretty weird, and also pretty scary since SO many people and dogs depend on this fish to survive.

The Dialectical Tetrad the "Third Organization of Society" by Bobby Garner





We opened the museum during the fair yesterday. We had a few people wander through and I sold a book! Whoo hoo. At the end of the day, just as we were closing, we had a weird visit from this new guy out here. He showed up last fall and lives at the Merc. Everytime we go to the store he comes in. He's always lurking. He either listens to what we say or tries to engage us. He's spent the past year gathering information about EVERYONE who lives out here. The first time he came to our house he said he was visiting our puppy. This time he had five guys with him. They all looked like military or cops. They were NOT friendly but that could be because we have made it very clear every time we've been asked that we don't trust this guy AT ALL. They came across our driveway in a group and almost raced inside after "Georgia John" stopped on the porch and told us he'd been waiting to see what we had here "until the appropriate time." After a few minutes I asked where they were from. One of them said he'd just arrived from Oregon. I asked him if this was his first visit to Alaska. He said no, he comes every summer. So I asked if he was a firefighter. He paused and we stared at each other for a long moment, and he replied he used to be one but now he comes here "just for fun."

Right now the Kenny Lake Communitarian Church is holding services next door at the fairgrounds, and Georgia John is there helping (he helps everyone he can) . I'm playing Al Green as loud as I can so I don't have to hear Satan speak.

This just came in from Bobby. We are moving beyond the synthesis and it's been bizarre to see how communitariansm is already being replaced by something even better.... Thanks Bobby!!! I've got a lot of reading to do now...

The Dialectical Tetrad the "Third Organization of Society"
by Bobby Garner

I have just discovered a fourth phase of the dialectic beyond synthesis. It seems to me that to fit communitarianism into the big picture presented by British Israel and the Pilgrims Society, there must be something which follows it. We have thought of communitarianism as the synthesis and therefore the final stage. But is it really, or is it just the last stepping stone to the grand finally?

The book Social Disorganization (1936) says:

The dialectical process consists of three stages:

    (1) the thesis (any phenomenon at any stage of its development);
    (2) the antithesis (its logical opposite or pragmatic contradiction);
    (3) the synthesis (the new phenomenon which has emerged from the preceding period of disorganization).
The book explains:
A given society may thus function in apparent calm and tranquillity for generations, only to suffer a sudden and apparently inexplicable collapse. Certain forces were present in the society beneath the surface which eventually led to its disorganization and the establishment of a new order. This new order will be drastically different from the society which it superseded, but it too will be a transitory phase. Eventually a third organization of society will appear which may continue for generations. Permanent social stability will, however, never be reached in the modern world. Social change never rests. The new synthesis becomes in its turn the basis for further social change.
My question concerns the actual process as it develops in realtime.
  1. First there is the "sudden and apparently inexplicable collapse" duringing a period of conflict, which we can easily associate with social disorganization. This was clearly stated as the purpose of the anti-establishment counter-culture which really had its roots in the "anti-conformist youth" movement defined by Jack Kerouac in 1948, as the Beat Generation and popularized by the 1955 movie "Rebels Without A Cause". Rock and Roll and Elvis Presley served to popularize and legitimize the rebellious spirit of the Beatnik culture.
  2. Secondly, we have "the establishment of a new order", a period of problem resolution. This is a new social order built upon a new spirituality, a necessary companion of the secular New World Order of global government as announced by President George H.W. Bush On September 11, 1990 to a joint session of Congress, 11 years before the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.
  3. Thirdly we are yet to realize the "third organization of society" which "may continue for generations". Or NOT!
The beginning of the New Age can be located in the 1980 publication of Marilyn Ferguson's book The Aquarian Conspiracy. This book redefined the counter-culture and portrayed its adherents as the nucleus of the New Age Movement. The Third Way, defined in this book as the consensus method of achieving a "higher truth", very nearly coincided with Newt Gingrich's introduction of his "Contract With America", and is consistent with Al Gore's "Reinventing Government". So we can see that the Third Way consensus is the method of problem resolution which has been functioning across the entire social spectrum since the early 1980's in an "establishment of a new order" which is "drastically different from the society which it superseded".

Of those things which are "drastically different" and which established the "new order", we would have to place the end of the Cold War and the collapse of Communism at the top of the list. This was quickly followed by the Earth Summit at Rio in 1992 and the unanimous adoption of U.N. Agenda 21 sustainability. In the early 1990's sociologist Amitai Etzioni along with other American social scientists popularized the term Communitarianism which is hostile to the philosophies of liberalism and libertarianism, and in fact formalizes the philosophies of the Third Way as a new system of Law which has indeed supplanted constitutional law in every UN member nation, and by which Agenda 21 rules and regulations are implemented and enforced locally. This is not the "third organization of society", but rather the established "new order", the "drastically different" and "transitory phase" of the dialectic.

If the "establishment of a new order" were the synthesis as most of us have previously thought, then what are we going to call the "third organization of society"? This has puzzled me for a long time, but I may have found a more satisfactory analysis of the dialectic process. My recent research took me to a web page about "The Hegelians", which turns out to be a chapter of an online book. There I found "The Dialectical Spiral", which shows that "theses vs. antitheses" are not two distinct stages, but a process of conflict, followed by a period of conflict resolution, or problem solving, as the synthesis. It defines transendence as the final outcome which we can clearly identify with the "third organization of society":

The dialectic discourse can be visualized as an ascending spiral, where its first convolution reflects the conflict (theses vs. antitheses), the second convolution the conflict resolution (synthesis), and the third convolution its transcendence. This model assumes that by liberating ourselves from the irrational modes of thinking and reasoning encapsulated in the paleocortex, we will be able to learn how to ascend the dialectical staircase and build a better society with the liberty, justice, and prosperity for all. However, Hegel's principal contribution to philosophy is his concept of alienation that was elaborated by Karl Marx.

After dealing with the Theory of Alienation, it presents The Dialectic Tetrad which a Yahoo search doesn't find anywhere else:
The method of critical reasoning Marx preferred was the dialectic (from the Greek dialektike techne, the art of discussion). Dialectics is a philosophic form of debate. As described by Greek philosophers of antiquity and ubiquitous in writings of secular philosophers afterwards, the rational discourse aimed at conflict resolution subsumes theses, antitheses, synthesis, and transcendence. While most of the writings on the topics of preceding paragraphs is strong on the theses - antitheses phases of this ongoing controversy, it lacks on the synthesis and transcendence phases of the dialectic tetrad. The tertiary and quadrennial phases of this conundrum were formulated by the philosophers of the French Enlightenment and incorporated into the Constitution of the United States by our founding fathers, unequivocally affirming the freedom of expression and separation of secular and ecclesiastic powers, a sine qua non of rational discussion and rational conflict resolutions.
Of course, this is dealing with philosophical debate as we see going on in academia, but Marx made the dialectic relevant to the social agenda and academia appears to control that as well.

The book is Ages of Enlightenment by David J. Krus, Ph.D. This book deals with several of our favorite topics from a perspective which I have not seen otherwise. I think you will find it very interesting and well worth the time. I'm sure the following item from Wikipedia is from the same David Krus, but with a different spelling.

Wikipedia at the Crossroads or at the End of the Road?

The classic theory of conflict resolution rests on the dialectic tetrad of thesis, antithesis, synthesis and transcendence. Within this framework, conflicts can be resolved, if the parties involved are using rational arguments. When one or both parties involved in a dispute do not use rational arguments, the conflict cannot be resolved by non-violent means. This was well known to our founding fathers when, to assure the freedom of expression, also mandated the separation of secular and ecclesiastic powers. I wrote this article with the intent to be an experimentum crucis on this point. David Cruise 11:41, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Looks like Wikipedia doesn't like David Cruse!

So how can we understand the dialectical process as we see it unfolding?
  1. We must view the thesis-antithesis as a period of social conflict associated with the Beat/counter-culture.
  2. The synthesis as a problem resolution period associated with the New Age/Communitarian/Third Way consensus.
  3. And finally the "third organization of society", the transcendence to where this is really going, a place lying beyond the limits of our experience where we have never gone before, the Brave New World of the New Aquarian Age, the The Great Transition to Technological Singularity, Humanism, Unitarianism, and Utopian ascension to godhood. Transcendent: 1 a: exceeding usual limits b: extending or lying beyond the limits of ordinary experience.
I have documented the existence of the final transcendence, but lacked an all encompassing name for it, and was never able to visualize it within the context of thesis-antithesis-synthesis. I have always understood the book Social Disorganization as a college text with the real intent to teach the counter-culture how the dialect could be used in a practical way to destroy the Establishment along with the social order it depended on. The book was not concerned with the final outcome, but presented the false conclusion that it would be the synthesis. Thus, the "whole habitable world" (Rev. 12:9) has been and continues to be deceived to support it.
"But take heed to yourselves that your hearts not be loaded down with headaches, and drinking, and anxieties of life, and that day come suddenly upon you as a snare, for it will come in on all those sitting on the face of all the earth. ( Isa. 24:17) Then be watchful at every time, begging that you be counted worthy to escape all these things, the things being about to happen, and to stand before the Son of Man." - Luke 21:34-36, GLT
As a side note, The Hegelians page makes this statement which is relevant to our study of British Israel:
"Marx critique of Judaism was summarized in his Zur Judenfrage, published in 1844 in the Deutsch-Franzosische Jarbucher. His arguments are based on the thesis that the core of Judaism is extreme partiality, instrumental in the accumulation of wealth. Marx observes that in North America, Jews exercise immense power and the domination of Judaism over the Christian world is fait accompli."
Thus it appears that Marx perhaps wasn't fully aware of his own participation in a greater dialectic going on within the British Empire which involved the Bacon inspired* colonization of North America, and later British Israel wherein Communism vs. Christianity was a false debate to achieve Unitarianism.

* Ancient Mysteries and a Rosicrucian leader Sir Francis Bacon "was informed by his guiding spirits that the kingdom that would produce the coming "Masonic Messiah," (the "Masonic Christ" who will lead the world into a new era they called the "Ancient Order of the Ages") would be an English speaking nation but not Great Britain. Rather, it would be a great nation that would arise out of the New World colonies and Queen Elizabeth and her counsellors must perforce do everything in their power to bring this nation to birth." - The Global Strategic Shift From Empire To Community, Find 'Bacon' within page (Ctrl-F).

"THE COMMUNITARIAN RESIDENCE LIFE MOVEMENT"

Our work has been recognized by The National Association of Scholars (NAS), "an independent membership association of academics working to foster intellectual freedom and to sustain the tradition of reasoned scholarship and civil debate in America’s colleges and universities."

At first glance I thought this paper was from the No NAIS people, and I was impressed by the author's level of scholarship. Woods' bibliography is a thorough listing of all the major communitarian thinkers. He includes a long list of my anti communitarian works as well, beginning with my first attempt to expose it publically in a speech before the WA State Libertarian Party convention in 2001.

I wondered how long it would take before upper academia took critical notice of communitarianism. Now that they have and we are included, I wonder how long it will be before we are invited to defend our thesis before an academic review board. I've been asked many times to leave my Alaskan sanctuary and make myself more accessible to the American public. If I am ever invited to debate the communitarians, I will come. If I receive adequate funding for the expenses, I will travel the country as a speaker. I don't live in rural Alaska because I'm "hiding." I live here because it's cheap and my gertee lifestyle allows me to write and study.

This has been a very difficult summer and I'm not even sure I will survive out here the coming winter. I was hoping to be able to finish overdue projects this summer and devote the coldest months to a simplified version of the manifesto. But I'm behind on everything after camping the whole cold summer and I had to winterize gertee because I was burning up my woodpile keeping the baby warm. I don't have any vegetables, meat or fish stored so it's going to mean living on beans and rice again. I've been below poverty level for so long I can't imagine what it would be like to study and write in a heated office, to have a real kitchen to cook and clean up in, and to take for granted the daily comfort an indoor toilet and shower brings. For a minute this summer I thought maybe the von Mises Institute would finance our education, and I was pretty excited about being included in that Vassar College seminar last spring. But Nordica thinks I'm silly for thinking we'll ever get academic recognition and she never hoped for a scholarship the way I did. Many people have suggested I start my own "school" but I really don't have the means or the confidence for such an endeavor. If someone else was to start a school of thought that included ACL studies, I could be persuaded to contribute.

I always hoped "real" scholars would use our anti communitarian thesis in their academic debates, and even if nothing else happens to make our life easier, this one hope has been answered. The ACL gets its own section in this bibliography:

BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR:
"THE COMMUNITARIAN RESIDENCE LIFE MOVEMENT"
by Thomas Wood, June 16, 2008

http://www.nas.org/postings/how_many_delawares/communitarian-bibliography.htm

Wood explains the difficulty in studying the topic:

"THE LANGUAGE OF SUSTAINABILITY

"It is important to consider the whole range of issues that “sustainability” covers. Since enlisting as the principal researcher and investigator for the NAS’s “How Many Delawares?” project, I have been frequently struck, even bewildered, by the multitude of topics “sustainability” is supposed to cover. Below is a selection. Since they are so numerous, I have categorized them as follows: GENERAL TERMS, DOMESTIC POLITICS/IDEOLOGY, INTERNATIONAL POLITICS, LAW, ECONOMICS, ECOLOGY, DIVERSITY & IDENTITY POLITICS, and ACADEMICS:

The NAS biblio also includes references to Michael Shaw, Chris Gerner's Amerikan Expose and Berit Kjos. Funny how the only thing missing from the list appears to be a section on religion, which appears to be the most likely source for communitarian thinking. This would mean their discussing the Heirarchy of the Plan, as is covered extensivley by Bobby Garner at congregator.net. Some of my articles referenced do include mentions of Blavatsky, Bessant, freemasonry and Talmudic Law so maybe the academic discourse will open itself up to include every available factual document.
