I keep finding quality articles here. Paleoconservative is the best kind of conservative.

A trio of essays against "anarcho-capitalism" and "national-anarchism".

Hobbes was right. Without the government monopoly on violence, life is nasty brutish and short. The moral of Takhar Province: it is the fear of the greater power of the state that keeps us in line. The moral of Beirut: injustice is better than Civil War. The moral of New York: abandoning state control is a political decision, as is reclaiming it. The moral of Basra: the return of stability will be welcomed everyone of no matter what political affiliation, except perhaps the gunmen.

Michael Hudson defines some terms.

The Denver Post also reports "Six arrested in downtown Denver Protest": http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_25505064/six-arrested-downtown-denver-protest

There was also a "not one more deportation" pro-immigration march scheduled earlier in the afternoon on Saturday, but I haven't seen any reporting on it. I guess no one got arrested.

This outline provides a good summary of the first volume of Giorgio Agamben's homo sacer project. But it doesn't include any quotations from the werewolf chapter, which was one of my favorites.

"This is a list of notable online encyclopedias that are accessible on the Internet."

"The purpose of the investigation, of course, may just have been to discourage activism, but in this case it had the opposite effect: People were inspired by the activists’ refusal to testify against one another in the face of what even four years ago looked to be a clear instance of a law enforcement agency overreaching."

“I’m just simply baffled by the idea that people can be without shelter in a country, and then be treated as criminals for being without shelter.”

An insider reflects on the Waco standoff. "And the lesson of Clive Doyle’s memoir—and the battle of Mount Carmel—is that Americans aren't very good at respecting the freedom of others to be so obnoxiously different. Many Mormons, incidentally, would say the same thing."

"The bullies had to prove that they could control World Vision, because controlling World Vision helps them pretend that they can control the Bible."

World Vision (US) took another look at their copy of "the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God" and discovered that they ARE supposed to police the personal/family lives of their employees after all. Oops.

"The U.S. Embassy in Haiti worked closely with factory owners contracted by Levi’s, Hanes, and Fruit of the Loom to aggressively block a paltry minimum wage increase for Haitian assembly zone workers, the lowest paid in the hemisphere, according to secret State Department cables."

See also The Nation's reporting on the same, "WikiLeaks Haiti: Let Them Live on $3 a Day: The US Embassy aided Levi’s, Hanes contractors in their fight against an increase in Haiti’s minimum wage." (http://www.thenation.com/article/161057/wikileaks-haiti-let-them-live-3-day)

The link to the Wikileak cables in question is broken in both articles. A working link is: http://www.wikileaks.ch/cable/2009/06/09PORTAUPRINCE553.html

In 2012 Boulder's city council made sleeping in public a non-jailable offense in an attempt to exclude the accused from jury trials. But now that a judge has ruled the homeless are still entitled to a jury, the city council has voted to increase the penalty to include jail time again.

“What’s Left?” features Lefty's more or less monthly columns written for the punk zine Maximumrocknroll.

I just discovered this weblog. I've read several of the essays. They are written by an ex-anarchist (slash ex-left-communist) who seems to write a lot about how they wish anarchism was better so they could still be an anarchist. It's good stuff!

As someone only peripherally involved but who followed along with the news, I thought Kelsey Whipple did a great job reporting on Occupy Denver.

I'm number 4!

This was a day after I was arrested. There was a big demonstration in Denver with DPD shooting kids out of trees with pepper balls and everything.

I think Wikipedia editors have done a fine job of summarizing these movements. There's also a separate "Timeline of the Arab Spring" article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Arab_Spring
