How do I start my Anarchy “army”?

Question by Black F: How do I start my Anarchy “army”?
I know this may sound like i have watched too much fight club but I want to make an army type anarchy club to protect the interests of my fellow anti-corporates and to further the anarchist agenda against corporation. This “army” is not a terrorist cell like on fight club but more like an club of organized punks and anarchists. We don’t want to preach nonviolence but we are not mindless punks or terrorists. They vandalize things and graffiti but does that really make them posers or can i work around that. I however am dedicated to forming an anarchist faction for my area please dont hate.
Well let me rephrase what I was saying. The group I am trying to make is not really an army, i just can’t think of what to classify it as. When i brought up fight club I was really just refering to the billboard painting and promotion of anarchist ideals not the militia or its violent-terroristic activities themselves. We are just some young punks who want to promote anti corporation. When I said we were not nonviolent I meant we get in fights with rednecks and preps at our school alot.
I am 16 and I do not believe in the need for government man. Neither do many people out their over the age of 40. And as far as the whole fist thing goes what about governmental War?

Cool “political extremism” images

cool political extremism pictures:

Stele Pavilion SacredWay, Ming Tombs, Beijing, China [c1900] Distribution UNK [reset]

The original name is unknown. However, the image is recognized as one of ShenGong Shengda stele (an inscribed tablet) pavilion, which is an integral part of the sacred journey (aka The Spirit Way) from the Ming tombs outside Beijing People’s Republic of China. The picture looks like it was taken c1900, and the price is not known [RESET]. I retouched spots and obvious defects corresponded to the sky tone, contrast and tone ajustée.Les Ming Tombs were not always popular attractions. For hundreds of years, but basically sat with little interest in the general population. To date, only one of 13 known tombs were excavated (and even that was a disaster). Except for a few crossing the West, which gave the picture the Disney-esque animal stone, the whole complex has been widely and generally ignored. If this was not enough, in the mid-20th century, turmoil in China has caused an underground necropolis known open (aka the Emperor Zhu Yijun ??? Wanli) have been sacked and almost destroyed by political extremism. According to a note in the wiki: “Dingling (Chinese: ??, pinyin: Ding Ling, literally” grave stability “), one of the tombs of the Ming tombs on the site, the tomb of Emperor Wanli. He is the only Ming tomb was excavated. There also remains only imperial tombs were excavated from the founding of the People’s Republic of China, a situation which is almost a direct consequence of fate that struck Dingling and its contents after fouille.La Dingling mining began in 1956, after a group of eminent scientists headed by Guo and Wu Han Moruo began advocating for excavation of Changling, the tomb of Emperor Yongle, the largest and oldest tombs of the Ming Dynasty. Despite winning the approval of Premier Zhou Enlai, the plan was rejected by archaeologists because of the importance of public visibility and Changling. Instead, Dingling, third largest Ming tombs chosen as test site for the excavation Changling. Excavation completed in 1957, and the museum was founded in 1959.L excavation revealed the intact tomb, with thousands of silk, textiles, wood and porcelain, and the bodies of Emperor Wanli and his two empresses . However, there was neither technology nor the means to preserve the excavated artifacts. After several disastrous experiences were vast quantities of silk and other textiles simply accumulate in the warehouse had leaked water and wind. Consequently, most buildings are now more sharply deteriorated, and the turmoil rather exhibited in the museum. Moreover, the political impetus behind the excavation created pressure for rapid completion of the excavation. rush meant that the documentation of the excavation was poor. Another serious problem affecting the project once, when a series of mass political movements swept the country. This escalation in the Cultural Revolution 1966. For the next decade, all archaeological work has been halted. Wu Han, one of the leading proponents of the project, became the first major objective of the Cultural Revolution, and was convicted and died in prison in 1969. Boiling Red Guards stormed the museum Dingling and dragged the rest of the Wanli emperor and empresses from the front of the tomb, where they were posthumously “finished” and burned. Many other buildings were also détruits.Ce until 1979, after the death of Mao Zedong and the Cultural Revolution ended, the archaeological work resumed in earnest and Report prepared by the end of excavations by archaeologists, who survived the storm. Lessons from the excavation of Ding Ling, led to a new policy of the PRC government is not seeking any historical place, except for rescue. Particularly in the case of a proposal to open Emperor’s tomb has since been approved Dingling, even when the input is accidentally discovered, as was the case Qianling Mausoleum. The original plan to use Dingling as a test site for the excavation Changling, was abandoned. “ShenGong Shengda Stele Pavilion (aka Tablet Pavilion) is the third structure was met at the entrance to the tomb of the Ming (the first stone Archway Monument, and the second is Dahong Gate). The outside is a long promenade with the famous stone statues of animals and ofiicials Ming. It is also known as the Stele Pavilion behind the divine and the sacred Changling. Hall was completed in 1435 to 10 Last year, the reign of Ming Emperor Zhu Zhan ??? (reigned 1425-1435). It was originally built in the woods, but after the fall of the roof has been replaced by a stone, finished 52nd in the year of Qing Emperor ?? Hongli (aka Qianlong) reign, in 1787 (ruled 1735-1796). pavilion houses a 50-ton stele with an inscription written by the Ming Emperor Zhu ? Gaoche ? ? (aka Renzong, reigned 1424-1425). Text praise for achievements, merits and virtues of its predecessor, the Ming Emperor Zhu Di ?? (also known as Yongle, reigned 1402-1424), who was buried in a tomb Changling. rear and sides of the stele is also poetry and Qing emperors ?? Hongli Yóngy?n ? ? (aka Jiaqing, reigned 1796-1820). HuaBiaos Four white marble (ie, ornamental columns) out of a quadrilateral form, the flag is placed between the four pillars in a straight line with the road seven miles long known as a spirit or spirit Way.Heureusement, China and its people woke up to the value of preserving its historical and cultural Events such as tombs have been preserved from degradation of others. There is little open race itself contained an underground cellar, until the PRC government is to ensure that content, once removed, can be fully protected. In a sense, I regret that I not be there to see. But on the other hand, my children or their children, and indeed the Chinese would return as a whole culture that would better withstand time. This is probably the best result that any historian would want.


If there is a consensus among scientists, does it follow that they are likely to be right?

Question by Meadow F: If there is a consensus among scientists, does it follow that they are likely to be right?
I have to be honest and say that one of the things that makes me despair a little is when warmists invoke the ‘consensus’ among scientists over AGW as though this, de facto, proved anything. As the quotes below from the University of Michigan show, this is surely a foolish argument.

My question to them is, are you arguing that a consensus among scientists makes it very likely that they are right? Or is there a danger (as per Kuhn etc) that they are seeing an issue through the lens of their own prejudices and preconceptions? Do you admit the possibility that a consensus can be wrong just as much as a single scientist?

“The long term support by leading research scientists, basing their claims and beliefs on scientific evidence, for the discredited Eugenics movement from the 19th well into the 20th century (until WW2) is a classic case of the interdependence of science and cultural beliefs”

“The interesting aspect of the eugenics movement is that it was mainstream science. The Passing of the Great Race was reviewed favorably in the journal Science, by MIT geneticist Frederick Adams Woods. Every genetics textbook of the era advanced the case of eugenics, showing how genetics could be used to solve social problems, if we simply believe everything geneticists say, give them lots of money, and not worry too much about individual civil rights, and the poor training and track record of geneticists in that area.”

“In fact, during the heyday of the eugenics movement, virtually every geneticist of note served below Grant and Davenport on the Advisory Board of the American Eugenics Society. One notable exception was Thomas Hunt Morgan, the great geneticist from Columbia University, who worked in the same building as anthropologist Franz Boas, a tireless critic of eugenics. Morgan published some polite reservations about eugenics in the mid-1920s, but not enough either to piss anyone off or to allow people to invoke his prestige to repudiate the movement. In the mid-1920s the only critics of eugenics were non-scientists or soft scientists, like Boas and Clarence Darrow, a great defender of civil liberties. ”

It’s the final paragraph above that is particularly interesting regarding the current debate on AGW.
EDIT – to Benjamin.

Wow. What can i say in response to you? I only hope something like eugenics doesn’t come up again because by the sounds of it you’ll be a willing follower.

“Consensus” among scientists means nothing…they once determined the earth was the center of the universe and our solar system. They also believed the earth was flat….some consensus….it took 1 man to prove them all wrong.
