 For frequently updated posts related to ACL research: Living Outside the Dialectic ~ nikiraapana.blogspot.com I'll be a guest today on Constance Cumbey's internet radio show, live at noon Alaska time (4pm Eastern) at http://www.themicroeffect.com/. This is a very nice opportunity for the ACL and all our supporters. I can't remember when I first found Constance's writings on Javier Solana, a European player whose name was not familiar to me. It was probably around the time that I became aware of the connection to the emerging European Union. She had a lot of details and a lot of new names, so I immediately linked to her article and filed it away for further study. Time being what it is (and with the life I lead), I never made it back there. I consider Cumbey's work to be vitally important to establishing the facts in our "case" against communitarianism. She is, to my knowledge, the only US American attorney who publically acknowledges the role communitarianism plays in our planned social evolution. Hope you can join us. After nearly ten years of doing this research, I have been seriously considering leaving it alone and moving on to other projects that matter to me me just as much as communitarianism. Nordica and I both agree the ACL website can stay as it is, forever, and that would be fine. We know there are a lot of pages that were left unfinished, but overall we think we presented as much as we could humanly accomplish with only one writer, no office and angst for a budget. But now, because of the growing interest in communitarianism from people all over the world, I am re-inspired to start working on the ACL website again. I'll be starting with the Etzioni page (for my new friend Mary over at palestinethinktank). It will be nice to clean up some of the worst laid out topic pages in the new format. It would be nice to set this up in an encylcopedia fashion, but regardless of how organized we get I can go on to incorporate the knowledge we've gained since most of these pages were written. I'll also add a new page on Stop Common Purpose in the UK, August Compte, Barack Obama and Mandatory Citizen Volunteerism. The Anti Communitarian Manifesto, by Niki Raapana and Nordica Friedrich is now available in hardcopy. I haven't seen the proof yet so I don't know what kind of a cover Nordica designed for it. Like 2020, it's a spiral bound softcover workbook that includes five articles I've written about Hegel, and it retails for $20.00. Many thanks to the pre-orders, your faith was a huge motivator to complete the project. It's actually something of a miracle that the ACL has not only lasted so long but that we managed to set-up a "tool" book division after many people complained about wading through such overwhelming information. I built the kind of website I wished I could have found when I first started looking up the new legal terms, but I am one of those people who loved to go to the library and read Facts on File. Some of the pages here are just long, but that's because there are a lot of facts available on this huge, huge topic. November 3, 2008 by Niki {typos fixed 12/23} Regardless who wins the election tomorrow, our nation, like Canada and all of Great Britian, is heading into rapid integration with the European Union. On November 15, 2008 the next president will co-host a meeting with EU leaders. Calling it a "financial necessity," the globalists are openly seeking global solutions. Whoever it is, our newly elected president will give their full support and executive clout to implementing the new global financial, economic, military and social justice system. The big lie is that Obama's "change" is any different from the GOP Doctrine. The neo-con right, the socialist left and the Third Way all agree on the principles for global sustainable development. I'm afraid of what will happen if Americans cannot find a way out of this dialectical election madness. Will the winners gloat? Will the losers call "Foul!" Will Americans allow the elites to lead them into street violence over this election? I haven't prayed in years, but tonight I'll be asking my Creator to show my people it's all just a good con. Please. October 27, 2008 by Niki. A partial list of links to my guest appearances on radio talk shows is near the top of my blog on the right hand side. I will be posting them here at the ACL asap. My apologies to the people who have had difficulty finding the direct links. Please note some of them require a membership at the site to access their radio archives. My most recent interview was with Henrik Palmgren at Red Ice Creations Radio, http://www.redicecreations.com/radio/2008/10oct/RICR-081026.php. The first hardcopy edition of The Anti Communitarian Manifesto is on its way to the printer. Mailings begin within two weeks. Pre-order a copy by taking our "books" link. Serious thanks go out to all our wonderful supporters who are keeping the ACL alive. Your generous donations help keep me focused on studying, writing and staying in the loop. As new writers appear on the internet who plagiarize or belittle us and our work (in their efforts to misdirect readers away from our research), I realize how important it is that I remain an active participant in the "information wars." ACL research has been available for free online since 2002. We own the copyright on everything we write here. While we've encouraged people to download, print and copy anything they want to share with their family and friends, I never expected people to copy and paste our words into their articles as if they were their own. Please be advised that if you cite anything here we expect attribution and our words to be inside quotes (or an obvious quotation format). Not only is plagiarizing anyone else's original writing a most immoral offense, it is also a violation of US (and international) copyright law. September 16, 2008 by Niki. Communitarianism is coming out of the reaches of upper academia and mainstream news into the alternative "free" American press. I was on the Jeff Rense Show again last Tuesday, September 9, and was on with George and Alex (The Secret Truth)last Saturday, September 13. I'll be on Melodee's show, Give Me some Truth, October 21, 2008. Please email us if you would like to invite me or Nordica to be on your show. I will try to contact all the hosts who invited me over the past few years and I told them I didn't have a phone. We have a phone now. June 25, 2008 by Niki. The ACL was down for several weeks but is back and should experience no further interruptions, thanks to our 2020 co-contributor Mr. Paul Barnes. Our deepest gratitude goes to Paul and also to our several other supporters for keeping the ACL alive. This has been an extremely difficult year for us. We finally have an office which means we can begin adding relevant current news pages and organizing the ACL content as soon as we finish the projects that were left undone when we started building PrimitivWerks at Camp Redington. Anyone who's followed our work knows we have completed everything at this website on angst for a budget. They also know I frequently have difficulties keeping up with our online research and ACL related correspondence. But as more supporters appear to keep us going, it's becoming more important to us, too. It's amazing what an email telling us $100. is in our paypal account can do. As long as there's support coming in we will keep on keepin'on. For my part I'll start doing more radio interviews and work on presenting our books and thesis in mp3 and youtube formats. And just in case you don't read it anywhere else: HOORAY to the IRISH people for rejecting the Lisbon Treaty! Now there's a people who don't give up easily. April 1, 2008, by Niki. ACL Books has just published the first edition of The Anti Communitarian Manifesto in sprial bound paperback. The paper edition is 140 pages and includes additional materials and commentary while leaving the original online thesis intact. Spiral bound like 2020, it has the same cover art as the free online edition. Cost: $20.00 USD. February 2, 2008, by Niki. ACL Book orders are on the way! Here's the new cover, which for some reason I can't upload to the books page. As with every technical glitch I run into on our websites and publishing projects, Nordica will have to do it. But I think I can get it to upload on this page.  January 4, 2008. ACL book orders are running about three months behind schedule now. Our apologies are sincere. We're very humbled by our ineptitude. So far everyone has been nice and willing to wait, but we will give a full refund to anyone who would rather have their money back. The good news is we're adjusting to the enormous task of self-publishing our own book, and we think our readers will appreciate the new additions. The revised 2008 version has ISBNs and can go in libraries and bookstores. It's scheduled to go to the new printer on next Monday the 7th. Book orders will be filled as soon as we get the books. Anyone who already purchased the 2006 edition of 2020 is welcome to purchase as many of the 2008 editions as they want for $5.00 each, plus shipping (email for estimate). Thanks to everyone who purchased 2020 and supported us during our "test" edition! The ACL website is still under construction, but I finally learned to use the new ftp program so I can upload again. Nord's terrified I'll start creating my horrible long, giant pages, but I promised to keep it simple. Her latest layout is so user friendly (especially compared to my old "Welcome" pages). The ACL has so many different "faces" after all the changes we've made over the years, which makes for an interesting mix of reactions to our work. The "Hegelian dialectic" remains the number one search term leading people to the ACL, and the reader's poll on the Hegel page counts well over 3000 responses now. The Anticommunitarian Manifesto has been read by thousands of people from around the world. The Hegel poll show 100 college professors looked up Hegel and found us, along with some 500 college students. I wonder if there is anyone enrolled in an academic program who will submit a critique of our thesis for their masters or PhD. Have any of the 100 plus high school students or teachers submitted or read critiques for a graded paper? Maybe we should petition the openly critical anticommunitarian President of the Czech Republic to request one of the university's under his influence establishes an Anti Communitarian Studies Program, where we can attend as state funded students pursuing academic degrees. The old ACL blog is being archived.
