From Any Angle...

Whatever angle you look at it from, there's no escape from the present. That's not the least of its virtues. For those who want absolutely to have hope, it knocks down every support. Those who claim to have solutions are proven wrong almost immediately. It's understood that now everything can only go from bad to worse. "There's no future for the future" is the wisdom behind an era that for all its appearances of extreme normalcy has come to have about the consciousness level of the first punks.

AN AMERICAN TEA PARTY SPEECH FOR JULY 4TH

[La Lydia]

I agree completely with the que se vayan todos part. The sooner the better.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Later.

I make this post here for those who don’t want to/can’t order or get the book. Beck has mentioned it several times now.

See BAMM’s synopsis here:

Gah. Plus ca Nouvelle Gauche merde pour les retards du le age Internet.

[M. Dodge Thomas]

That’s one of the most incoherent screeds I’ve ever read, and I read a lot of offbeat political, social, and philosophical commentary.

[combat_boots]

Yeah. It’s weird. Beck has been talking about the book, so maybe it’s different. The book synopsis is different.

[Cacique]

btt

[WVRockDJ]

Agreed. Maybe if we were wearing beanies, and reading it in a coffee shop?

And for those who haven’t read it, “None Dare Call It Treason,” by Stormer. Link here goes to the 25-year update:

I doubt even Rexford Tugwell could have put up with this stuff.

[Malesherbes]

Mark Steyn ends his essay in the current “National Review” with a comment from two Italian authors who say that if the United States had a government as centralized as France, the USA would have broken up long ago. BO is trying to create such a government, and I’m beginning to think that I may live to see the USA break up.

Don't count on it.

[behzinlea]

Something was lost in translation from French into English. At least I hope that's the explanation. I would hate to think this essay is just as unfocused in French.

I sense the broad outlines of the point he's trying to paint, but I can't tell if it's a bear or just a large fuzzy shadow.

[M. Dodge Thomas]

>> I doubt even Rexford Tugwell could have put up with this stuff.

> Don’t count on it.

I got curious, and found this interview with Tugwell - compared with this guy, even Tugwell was a model of sanity (and clarity).

The "Support the Tarnac 9" website has the latest English translation in black font on white background, for anyone who might prefer that:
http://tarnac9.wordpress.com/texts/the-coming-insurrection/

It also provides links for these two versions:

A 46-page pdf of the English translation in a 90-page book format (you'll have to fold the pages yourself):
http://tarnac9.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/thecominsur_booklet.pdf

And a 65-page pdf of the original French text ("L'insurrection qui vient") in a 125-page format (pdf pages follow consecutively, so no paper folding involved): http://zinelibrary.info/files/pdf_Insurrection.pdf
