Quote of the Day
Listen. There are 200 countries in the world now. Do these people honestly think that God is sitting around picking out his favorites? Why would he do that? Why would God have a favorite country? And why would it be America out of all the countries? Because you have the most money? Because he likes our National Anthem? Maybe it's because he heard we have 18 delicious flavors of Classic Rice-A-Roni! It's delusional thinking! And America is not alone with this sort of delusions. Military cemeteries around the world are packed with brainwashed dead soldiers who were convinced God was on their side. America prays for God to destroy our enemies. Our enemies pray for God to destroy us. Somebody's gonna be disappointed. Somebody's wasting their fucking time. Could it be everyone?

We Don't Need the Police
Anarchists by nature are anti-authoritarians. So it's pretty obvious why we don't like police, the military, prisons, etc. We tend to think that the best cop is an unemployed one. If cops were true to their mission, they'd be trying to figure out how to put themselves out of work. Since our capitalist societies, with their increasing disparities in income, are responsible for much of crime, it's pretty obvious from the lack of talk by cops and society about this that they don't take their jobs very seriously. Crime is also caused by other factors: individuals psychologically and physiologically damaged by their upbringing and environment, crusades against drugs and other bugaboos, crimes defined by morals police, and crimes defined by legislators.
The most important reason for the existence of police is the need to protect our capitalist society. Police defend those with money. They are necessary in order to police those who don't like being poor. This page will, in the future, elaborate on this.
Please join us in our quest create a society where police are unnecessary.

Anti-Radical and Anti-Anarchist pages
As part of their jobs as the guards for the rich elite, the police feel obligated to slander and malign activists, radicals, and radical organizations. They'll do this in addition to covertly disrupting activist activities. The current tactic is to label activists as "terrorists."
- Hate Groups, Terrorists, & Radicals from The
Police Officer's Internet Directory - From the site: "Web sites owned by hate groups, radicals, anarchists, etc., tend to be very undependable. They are often authored by unstable persons, and are sometimes removed from web servers
by the owners who find the content too offensive to tolerate." Oh really! Most of the anarchists we know are among the most level-headed people on the planet. - TERRORIST, TERRORISM, ANARCHY, HATE GROUPS ON THE WEB from Law Enforcement Sites on the Web
- Tracks anarchist web sites for the police and labels us in with terrorists, hate groups and militias. This distortion shows how evil the anti-radical counter-terrorist mind set can be. The person who maintains this page is obviously to dim to understand the differences between the groups he maligns.

What You Can Do About the Police
- Start a Cop Watch group in your area
- Find out the facts about crime (the threat has been overstated)and share them with members of your community
- If proposals come up locally to fund more police, go to the meetings and speak against the funding.
- Confront public officials in public and ask them why they lie about crime.
- Teach your children to question authority.
- Speak out against DARE anti-drug programs in your local schools. They have been proven not to work and they exist primarily to put a good face on the police.
- Stand up against the death penalty.
