LEFT FIELD
FYI
This section will feature information on what opponents to anarchism will do to try to sabotage it (or any progressive movement, for that matter). I include it as a reference, so you'll be forewarned. Be sure to visit the Council for National Policy Page -- these folks are hardcore baddies out there!

We're also the only industrialized nation without national health insurance. But hey, we're outspending everybody else in military expenditures, right? And you know how good tanks taste....

PRACTICAL ANARCHISM
I'm hoping to put materials up for those of you interested in action -- getting involved in the movement, as opposed to just reading about it. I'll put up essays on possible strategies for anarchists, as well as nuts-and-bolts organizing information.

N30: WTO AND THE BATTLE OF SEATTLE
Unless you've been living under a rock, you're aware that something interesting went down in Seattle during the first week of December, 1999. Basically, thousands of protesters showed up and expressed their opposition to the World Trade Organization's (WTO) agenda, and the Seattle cops cracked a lot of heads. Anyway, there are a lot of perspectives on this, so I'm going to put a few of them up, for your reading pleasure!

BIOTECH BULLETIN
The biotech issue continues to grind on, and while there has been some progress, those biotech baddies are hard at work pushing their frankenfoods on you without your knowledge or consent. Below are some old and new bits on the topic:
