A CYBERSPACE BROADSHEET


PART ONE: An Introduction

I am a 42 year old History Graduate and poet here in the So CAL arena. I have been deeply moved by the Rosecrucian Manifestos of the 1700s and the late Dame Francis Yates theory that they were "Political Play"....Satires with a serious idea to give a trial balloon to. In other words, I wanted to emulate the Broadsheets in which popular ideology prior to the American Revolution were formed. I want to suggest a model in which the President of the United States in Washington D.C. is the King James of Tory England, and the distance between the Crown and the Colonies is the distance between seeing computer communication as property and seeing it as a new dimension of Human Freedom,... a Common Carrier.....  ( and What is the pervasive perview of T.R.W. and other Credit and Database collating agencies if not a Standing Army?). Add to this mix Ectopia....and you have PUMA. We are few, but we are not haters. We put up broadsheets here in Santa Ana, Irvine and Hollywood. They get torn down. ...The Buddha's first lesson is impermanence. :) - A.O.: HAL316 / CIS:71171,617


PART TWO: The Manifesto

The Militant Humanist Manifesto
Which is the Ground upon which all Future Compacts must be builded
IN THREE AND SIXTEEN THESIS

( the First SET )

1.)  The UNIVERSE is a shared, Unbounded Domain.

2.)  All individuals are EQUAL in their ESSENTIAL NATURE  which consists in this fundamental capacity to experience this Unlimited Dimension.

3.)  The above specified faculty is their Birth Right from Transcendence, manifest in diverse Spheres as Life Itself, Love, and Control of the "MEANS OF PRODUCTION" of their own experience of this unimpeded Universe... which directly and without precondition invests them with the emanating Rights of unabridged participation in the media of the creation, communication, storage, retrieval and interpretation of Information whatever  it's source, means of conveyance or original intent.

( The Second Set )

1.)  The Spiritual and Political Franchise exists only in the Heart capable of conceiving of it.

2.)  This Spiritual and Political Franchise bestows ALL the Empowerments of Unconditional Behavioral and Ethical Autonomy on ALL inhabitants of the Living Universe with only these twin qualifying prerequisites: Sentience and the capacity to conceive of one's own being as author of their own Choices.

3.)  No FICTION created by either the FIAT of a Despot, or  the COMPACT of ANY Assembly may Abridge, Abrogate, Interpret, or Transfer from the Individual ( to some other Individual or Agency ) this especial Franchise.

4.)  Any GOVERNMENT ( or any other species of Assembly convened by Compact ) may only boast the RATIFICATION OF THE SPIRITUAL AND POLITICAL PERMISSION INHERENT AND RESIDING IN THE CONCLAVE OF INDIVIDUALS WHO MUST DWELL WITHIN THE DOMAIN OF THE STRUCTURES EVOLVED BY THEIR GOVERNMENT SO IT MAY SERVE AS STEWARD OF THEIR TRUST.

5.)  No Assembly of Individuals nor Code of Behavior can supplant the Conscience of the Individual, however patently immature and/or misinformed that individuals judgment may be, even were the consequences of that  individuals actions UPON THEMSELVES demonstrably certain to prove disadvantageous.

6.)  The SOLE Domain reserved to the Government to properly restrict the behavior of individuals lay in curtailing, preventing, and punishing behavior whereby the actions of an individual overtly and directly foreshortens another individuals freedom to act according to the dictates of their conscience, continue to live in Safety and Health ( as they themselves define it ), and enjoy the benefits of their actions in both the Public and Private Domains.

7.)  No Individuals, Assembly or Enjoined Contract may dictate Philosophy to others, nor may any Agency be empowered by Government to control access to, dictate interpretation of, or curtail the creation of or content of information in the Public Domain.

8.)  The Private Domain is that Information pertaining to and/or is withheld by right of authorship and permission by the individual who is it's source. The creation of information not yet made Public by the explicit permission granting of communication via media explicitly understood to be Public, as well as Data compiled by individuals regarding other individuals in transactions not mutually stated to be in a Public Forum are  BOTH PROTECTED. And no Individual or Agency may in any fashion impede, abridge or extend either by technological device or coercion into this Private Domain.

9.)  Information dealing with Physical Technique, Processes, or Properties, either suspected or demonstrated, may not be considered part of the Private Domain.

10.) There may be no abridgement of the individuals access to the media of communication.

11.) There may be no Controls established governing the Content of any form of Communication.

12.) Standards for the presentation of and content of any medium of communication may only be considered provisionally Lawful if identical or equivalent systems of communication are available, accessible and attainable by individuals who may or may not choose to access them.

13.) Public assent to the Establishment of Social Activities pertaining to Individuals, Agencies, or Compacts have NO BINDING POWER to compel compliance on any Generation but the one who, in evaluation of their own needs and the circumstances of That Era, judge that such Social Organs facilitated the Common Good.

14.) It must be made Universally Understood that each Generation is beholden to be a diligent Steward of the World that they as Gardeners who tend a Garden, pass on to the next to subsist from and enjoy. For they are Morally and even Legally answerable to actions they take that foreshorten the freedoms of their Inheritors in just the same way as they as they legally answerable for the consequences of actions they take on those who must suffer dwelling in the days of their Oppressors!

15.) The One Power NOT RESIDENT IN THE INDIVIDUAL is the power to Abrogate the Autonomy they possess as holders of the Spiritual and Political Franchise.

16.) Goodwill is everywhere and always the certain signature of Intelligence perfected by Understanding.

PART THREE : An Epilogue

The Anarchists Collective

1.) 	As an Anarchist I have come to an understanding that reconciles my having to live in a State.
2.) 	The State will wither upon the maturation of the individuals living in it.
3.) 	The Role of the State is to reflect the inner inequilibrium of the individuals in that State and their methodologies for functioning in equilibrium by providing a program of acting out those methodologies in the ongoing, evolving institutional structures of the State.
4.) 	The reason for a diversity of States in the Bionad of a Planet is to reflect those diversities of methodology in dealing with inner inequlibrium.
5.)	 In the Social Histories of States and their interaction, we have played out on the Stage of the World the dialogue of inner methodologies, and the interior group consciousness of the evolution of the individuals inner progress to formulating and embodying the goal of fluid equilibrium, responsive and creative.
6.) 	The so called "Class Struggle" is the externalization of the Ego functions ongoing struggle to comprehend it's function and resolve it's inner contradiction: "How can one lead, yet serve?"
7.) 	Stewardship is the removal of the onerous burden of inventing values based on the convenient fiction of a singular "Self", from the function of a "self" in ordering and programming the ongoing homeostasis of the equilibrium by transformation of the contents of the Person in the individual.
8.) 	In the domain of Social Affairs this fiction is the Hypothesis of the Compact of Citizens comprising the State.
9.)	Goodwill is everywhere the Signature of Intelligence.
10.)	This Great Game of Nations is the Play Anarchists pass though in the sheepskin costume of eternally empowered Liberals, their internal flames continually enkindled by their Secret troth to Freedom  and Creativity and the Right of Inherent Dignity of the Individual .... These are the Wolves who have learned patience and gentleness. These are They who remain vigilant and strong, so the fragile and gentle bud of Promise may someday bloom on the Earth !
