EDITORIAL #1

by cardell



Welcome to the second issue of P@ ONLINE! I hope you'll cope with the

fact that this issue is rather thinner than the first one but that,

dear reader, is largely up to you. Write to us!



OK, I admit it, I haven't been that active writing articles myself,

but I've got so much going right now. I'm trying to get some

cooperation going between several anarchistic groups, zines and

newspapers for sharing of information and news. If all goes well the

news section in the November issue will be a whole lot larger.



A socialistic computer user group has shown interest in our zine as

well and I hope they will be interested in the cooperation too. They

will at least distribute the zine among their members, which is a Good

Thing to start with. 



I'm writing this in front of a Facit terminal connected to the

computers at Lysator via modem, but I hope I'll be able to do all my

editorial work at home soon. I'll be setting up a BBS as well as soon

I get my computers running. The BBS will, of course, have the latest

issue of P@ ONLINE along with a lot of other nice ezines. I'll let you

know what happens.

What's going on in the States?

by Chuck



Summer is rapidly ending here in Wisconsin and this year will probably

be remembered as the year without a summer.  The corn never got very

big and it never got very hot.  Looks like it might be a long winter,

but that's OK because it means more reading, more anarchy, and more

writing getting done.



While the summer never heated up, the local anarchist scene

certainly did.  In June, Andrew Wertheimer and I convened the

first meeting of "some madison anarchists" at the public library.

Our first meeting attracted around 15 people and about 3 of those

are still involved.  We've been meeting weekly at a local deli and

have been having lots of good discussion.  Currently we have

a core group of around 5-10 people.  We have probably had

twenty or more different people at our meetings this summer

and there are a lot more out there.  We are having a picnic on the

lawn of the Capitol this weekend and are hoping for a good turnout.

We've also been working on various projects such as a room/space

of our own to be known as the "anarchist resource center."

It looked liked this project would come to fruition, but will have

to be delayed for as much as a half year.  Meanwhile, we've

found a local bookstore that is willing to allow us to meet there and

store our stuff there.  I'm pretty excited about the whole thing.



The anarchist movement is certainly growing in the U.S. as many

of you can tell, but what does Chuck have on his mind of late?

Elections, right-wing evangelicals, and finding a job.  By the end

of the year we should know how much of a threat the resurgent

right-wing evangelical movement is going to be.  If appears that

these folks will not refrain from interfering in other people's lives,

I will make the main project of Practical Anarchy [Wisconsin]

an anti-evangelical campaign.  The goal will be to disrupt and

 discredit their groups before they suceed in taking over local

muncipal and state governments in the U.S. and start passing

laws hostile to freedom.  I'm also debating whether or not I

should participate in the elections this November.  My forthcoming

edition of Practical Anarchy will have articles devoted to

this dilemma.  As an anarchist, I don't think we should

legitimize the State any more than we have to, but are there

issues which are good cases for anarchist participation in elections?

I don't know.  In this country, the pressing areas of concern are

a women's right to abortion and gay and lesbian rights.  That's

right, those of you reading this in other countries, the real issues

like the environment, the steamroller of capitalism, and militarism

aren't even addressed in the campaigns [and we are on the defensive

on abortion and gay/lesbian rights.]



I'm an optimist.  I'm encouraged by the rapidly growing anarchist

movement.  Let's all rock the state in '92!

BERLIN MAY 1, 1992

by Dirk Gomez 



The revolutionary demo met as usual at 1 pm in Kreuzberg.  When I came

at 2 pm, the first what I saw was a mass fight between some masked

"Autonome" and stalinist guys who tried to force the demo for their

route! Fuck them, they are only 50-100 guys but they are so well

organized that they make trouble for 5000 people. 



But their route was (fortunately) denied and the march began.  At 2

o'clock we passed a computer shop which is very new.  Some weeks ago

there was a scene pub.  Astonishingly there was no police so that this

shop was plundered.  Really funny to see 10 year old boys running around

with a big computer :)



About 1 hour later we passed a really big cop car which was protected by

only one cop.  So he ran and some guys burnt the car down. 



After that the police lost for about 30 mins control, cause they thought

that the riot will begin in SO 36 (where the demo should end).  Now some

cars were smashed and pulled on the street ... 



Being back in Kreuzberg the demo ended and I and my friends went about

100 m away from the notorious "rioting street".  Nothing much happened

we only saw masses of cops.  btw there were about 4000-4500 cops

there!!!



At 7 I left for home and about 11 o'clock I went again to SO36.  I

thought all was over but the cops made really much trouble.  Maybe they

were demonstrating for sth :-) :-(



All in all 300 arrests and 104 cops injured but only 3 so severe that

they couldn't go to work (so they had nothing!)



On the same day the neonazi party FAP wanted to demonstrate in the

East-Berlin "scene quarter" Prenzlauer Berg (where many Nazis live). 

About 50-80 people were there with an anti-demo with 200 (police)-800(a

friend) people.  The antifas heavily attacked the demo so the nazis left

the place with panic. 



On the evening there was a leftist demo in Prenzlauer Berg under the

motto "The East strikes back"...so it ended: with smashed windows ... 



So I guess next year: Same procedure as every year!

ZINE REVIEWS

by Chuck Munson



Welcome to Practical Anarchy Online's guide to the zine scene.  Most

of the stuff reviewed here is produced by anarchists, but not all.  This

section has sort of become obligatory in the zine scene--I'll review your

zine if you review mine.  The scene is rather healthy these days.

Sections like this help fill the void left by the demise of  Factsheet Five,

and that's OK, if not desirable given the decentralism celebrated in

 the zine scene.  I try to review everything sent to me.  If something

 you sent me isn't reviewed here it either was lost in the mail, I

misplaced it, or I ran out of space and time.



Anal Society        No.1 / 1992        $1

        c/o FIA, 215 N. Frances St. #205, Madison, WI 53703

A new xeroxed, free-form zine put out by some folks here in Madison.

Stuff on vegetarianism, poetry, and anarchy.  Lots of band interviews

and ads for music.  Classic punk-style anarchic collage.



Anarchy: A Journal of Desire Armed    No.33 / Summer 1992

        C.A.L., PO Box 1446, Columbia, MO 65205-1446

        The Newsweek of anarchist newspapers (just kidding). Anarchy

successfully switches to a new format with this issue.  They've gone

from a large tabloid size to a smaller size (8 inches by 10.5 inches).  The

design looks very professional - quite a change from the issues I have

that came out seven years ago.  As always, an excellent letters section,

extensive international anarchist news, and extensive listings of

resources of interest to anarchists.  I urge everybody to read John

Zerzan's thought-provoking article "Future Primitive" in which he

summarizes the recent anthropological evidence which supports

many anarchist theories.  Other articles include one on Columbus

by Ward Churchill and a critique of bicycles by Michael William.  Also

 an excerpt from the upcoming anthology "Gone to Croatan," which I

am looking forward to.



Discussion Bulletin        No.55 / Sept./Oct. 1992

        PO Box 1564, Grand Rapids, MI 49501

A theoretical zine devoted to furthering a discussion amongst "non-

market, anti-statist and libertarian socialists."  These groups reject

"capitalism's wage, market, and money system along with capitalist

politics and unionism constitutes the only real alternative to

capitalism in both its market and statist phases."  This is the first

issue I've ever seen, so the following comments might not be relevant

(apparently this publication just switched from offset to xerox).  I find

the layout to be rather uninspiring -- xerox doesn't have to look this

bad, and some graphics might help.  Some interesting articles here, like

the one on green anarchism, but the rest reads like the tired leftist

doggerel with all of the appropriate buzzwords: proletarian,

internationalism, comrades, and the like.  Several pages were

unreadable (bad print job).



dreamtime talkingmail        number 2 / Spring 1992

        Miekal And & Elizabeth Was, editors.

        Twice a year . Send donation

        Dreamtime Village  Rt.2 Box 242W  Viola, WI 54464

        Zine created by the folks who live at the Dreamtime Village project

in rural Wisconsin.  The Village is a wild amalgam of anarchy,

permaculture, music, and grassroots and avant garde art.  Practical

anarchy in action.  Recommended.



Fifth Estate        Vol. 27/ no.1 (339) Spring 1992

        4632 Second Ave.  Detroit, MI 48201

        Quarterly        $1.50 single issue $6.00/year

        The highlight of this issue is the interesting and timely article by

 George Bradford titled "The Triumph of Capital."  Bradford, who in

previous issues of FE has written articulate critiques of deep ecology,

 tackles the implications of the "fall of communism."  An article on

Alexander Berkman is also in this issue as well as the usual, excellent

roundup of anarchist news, letters, and book reviews.  Also inspiring

write-ups of anarchist projects in the Detroit area.



GameDay

        1653 Wisconsin Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20007

        $15 (10 issues)

        Zine/newsletter/program for fans of the baseball Baltimore Orioles.

Picked up a copy outside Oriole Park at Camden Yards (the baseball

stadium).  Published before each homestand.  Articles on pennant races

and tips on where to find parking.  Has summaries on how players have

been doing recently and includes their salaries.  Heard that publications

like this are under pressure from the baseball teams to cease publishing.

A refreshing alternative to the glossy official programs sold inside

the stadium.



Kick It Over        No. 29 / Summer 1992

        PO Box 5811, Station A  Toronto, Ontario, Canada  M5W 1P2

        $2.50 Canada/USA

        I would like to point out the article titled "Building Economic

Alternatives' by Gary Moffatt, which I found thought-provoking.  Other

articles include "The Abortion Underground' and "The Population

Myth" by Murray Bookchin and one on billboard alterations.  Also

lots of news briefs.  Read this one from cover to cover.



Noisy Concept        No. 15 / May, June, July, August 1992

        c/o Mike Thain, 621 Bassett Rd., Bay Village, OH 44140

        $.50 ppd.  $4/10 issues

        "The Journal of Deviant Culture and Voluntary Insanity."

        A zine devoted to "punk rock, vegetarianism, and anarchy."

Congratulations or condolences to Mike on having his zine listed in a

 recent USA Today articles on "zines."



Profane Existence        No.14 (May-June) No.15 (Summer)

        No.16 (September-October 1992)  Bi-monthly

        PO Box 8722, Minneapolis, MN 55408

        $2 ppd.    $10.50/6 issues    $9 Third Class

        Since the last issue of Practical Anarchy I've been able to get my

hands on the much talked about Profane Existence.  And I am

impressed!  I can't say enough about this newspaper.  I know what

the folks in Minneapolis are doing is an inspiration to many in the

 Midwest and I can see why.  In each issue you will find anarchist

and activist news from around the world, articles, columns, and zine

and music reviews.  I'd say that you can find lots of "practical anarchy"

 in each issue.  The folks in the Twin Cities are actually building

alternative institutions and their paper documents these projects.

PE has a militant style which I think is very effective.  Lots of energy;

 not much dogma.  "Making Punk a Threat Again."



Second Guess        No.3 / Summer 1992

        PO box 9382, Reno, NV 89507

        A xeroxed zine that covers the music and cultural scene in Reno and

the rest of Nevada.  Zine reviews and an interview with the

controversial Mykel Board.  Check out the interesting practical anarchy

suggestions and fun pranks.  Gee, and I thought Nevada was all sand

and gambling!  Nicely done.



SLAM                No.1 / August/September 1992

        PO Box 22861, Alexandria, VA 22304

        $1        $5/year (six issues)

        This is the first issue in what hopes to be a zine that features zine

and record reviews.  They reprint the text of the Bloods & Crips

program to rebuild LA -- which if you haven't read, you ought to.

Political news, commentary, and graphics.  A pretty decent first try.



Social Anarchism        No.17 / 1992

        2743 Maryland Ave., Baltimore, MD 21218

        $10/4 issues

        This journal always has an excellent, extensive book review section.

Each issue also includes poetry (which I don't always read, not being

a big poetry fan).  Articles in this issue cover: pirate radio, women

living in egalitarian intentional communities, and anarcho-feminism.

SA features some of the best anarchist writing on the continent today.

Internet Relay Chat



IRC is a place to talk on, not unlike the old CB that radio amateurs

used. You join a channel of your choice. Typical channels are #gblf

(for Gays, Bisexuals, Lesbians and Friends) and #anarchy.



To get onto IRC you need an IRC client at a place virtually near you,

i.e. at a site you've got an account on. Ask around if there allready

is one installed. If not, consider compiling one of your own.



You can try out IRC by telnetting to bradenville.andrew.cmu.edu (no

login) or santafe.santafe.edu (login: irc). Take a look at the help

facility when you're on and don't be shy to ask for help. 



As soon as I'm own I try to keep the channels #future and #anarchy

open. I suggest you do the same so these channels are there virtually

all the time. See you there!

THE ANARCHISTS MANUAL

by conan the barbarian



trip wires



you can use an m-80, h-100, blockbuster or any other type of explosive

that will light a fuse.  if you have a 9-volt battery, from a radio

controlled car or whatever, and get either a solar igniter

(preferably) or some steel wool, you can create a remote ignition

switch.  to do this, set up a schematic:



        ------------------> battery (+)

 steel ||                -> battery (-)

 wool  ||                /

  :==:---  <--fuse       \

       ||                /

       ---- spst switch--\



when the switch is on, the current will flow through the steel wool or igniter

and heat up, lighting the fuse in the process.

--- note: for steel wool, get a very thin piece of wire first and pump the

    current through it, to make sure it will get hot enough to light the fuse.



now plant your explosive wherever you want it, but bury it and cover the wires

thoroughly.  now get some wire (20 lb. test fishing line works well) amd tie

one end to a secure object.  secure the switch to something, and make a loop on

the other end of the fish line.  put the loop around the switch so that when it

is pulled, it will flip the switch and detonate the explosive.  note: this is

only one way of rigging it.  feel free to experiment!



landmines



first, get a push-button switch.  connect one side to a 9-volt battery, and the

other to a solar igniter (or steel wool.)  now connect the other end of the

igniter to the other battery terminal. next, fasten the end of your explosive's

fuse (m-80, pipe bomb, etc.) to the ingiter.

   decide where you want the mine, and dig a hole (not too deep, but enough to

cover all your equipment.)  decide what direction your enemy will be coming

from, and plant the switch accordingly.  leave the switch partially exposed,

but make sure it's difficult to see it.  plant the explosive about three feet

from the switch, because there will be a delay before the explosion.  when your

enemy steps on it,  b o o m ! ! !



basic tactics of car destruction



all the best methods of blowing up a car require that you get under

the hood.  explosives are placed as close to the occupants as

possible, for maximum damage and killing effectiveness.  one good

explosive is several sticks of dynamite (about three) taped together

with duct tape or electrical tape.

   the fuse, which can be homemade, commercial or safety, is wrapped around the

exhaust manifold a few times.  after driving for awhile, the manifold gets hot

enough to ignite the fuse.  this method has several advantages over simply

wiring the car to explode.  first, if the explosion doesn't kill the victim,

the crash probably will.  second, if the victim is a passenger, the driver

might start the car before the victim gets in.  that could get a little

embarrassing for the bomber, couldn't it...?

   old-fashioned types, like the mafia, would rather wire cars.  they want to

see the car blowing up instead of letting it do so on the road.  they usually

use three sticks of dynamite, two lengths of electric wire (with alligator

clips for easy attachment) and an electric blasting cap.  the cap is stuck into

a stick of dynamite, and its wires are attached to the electric wires.  then

one alligator clip is clipped to the input side of the coil, and the other is

fastened to any metal surface in the car's frame as a ground.



carbide bomb



*** caution:  this is extremely dangerous.  be very careful!



   obtain some calcium carbide.  this is the stuff used in carbide lamps, and

can be found at almost any hardware store.  take a few pieces (it looks like

gravel) and put them in a glass jar with some water.  put a lid on tightly.

the carbide will react with the water to produce acetylene carbonate, which is

similar to the gas used in cutting torches.  eventually, the jar will explode

from internal pressure.  (don't use a super-strong jar or it might not break.)

if you leave a burning rag nearby, you'll get a nice fireball.



portable grenade launcher



if you have a bow, this one is for you.  remove the ferrule from an aluminum

arrow, and fill the arrow with black powder.  (try grade ffff, it burns easily)

glue a shotshell primer into the hole where the ferrule was.  next, glue a bb

onto the primer, and you're ready to go!

   make sure nobody is around, because little shreds of aluminum go everywhere.



auto-exhaust flame thrower



for this one, all you need is a car, a sparkplug, ignition wire and a simple

toggle switch.  install the spark plug into the last four or five inches of the

exhaust pipe by drilling a hole that the plug can screw into easily.  attach

the wire (regular insulated wire) to one side of the switch, and to the spark

plug.  the other side of the switch is attached to the positive battery

terminal.  with the car running, simply hit the switch and watch the flames!

be careful that nobody's behind you.  the flames can shoot out twenty feet.



section II -- pipe bombs



co2 canisters



co2 canisters are among the simplest and safest forms of pipe bombs.  they

can be purchased in any sporting goods store for about $.50 each.  simply

release the co2 inside, and fill them with gunpowder.  if you can't obtain

gunpowder, use powdered zinc and sulfur.  (60% zinc, 40% sulfur, by volume.)

   fill your co2 with whatever explosive you are using.  plug the end with a

fuse (1/16 of an inch diameter), light it, and run.  there is usually only one

of shrapnel, about the size of your fist.  make sure the outer surface of your

bomb is free of gunpowder.  otherwise, it could detonate several seconds early.



standard pipe bomb



ok, heres how to make your standard pipe bomb.  go to your local junkyard (or

anywhere, for that matter) and get a piece of pipe of whetever size you want.

thread each end (on the outside) and cap one end.  drill a hole in the middle

of the pipe, and stick your fuse in the hole.  fill the pipe with one of the

explosives mentioned earlier, oil the open end, and cap it very carefully.

if you don't oil the ends, it could spark.  if it sparks, you're in trouble...

so oil it before you cap this end.  then put it in a hole with a long fuse,

light it, and run like hell.

BOYCOTT & BUYCOTT

by Chuck & cardell



Boycott:



Cracker Barrel Restaurants:  Still discriminating against gays and

lesbians in employment.  Various gay and lesbian groups around the

 US have called for this boycott.  So far, the chain seems to have

deaf ears.



The town of Springfield, Oregon [U.S.]:  This town recently passed a

restrictive law against gay and lesbian rights.  This guarantees a climate

of hate ripe for bashing.  Don't visit this town or buy products from

companies located there.



McDonalds:  Let's put them out of business.  Various reasons to do so:

excessive packaging, encourages a world to be more car dependent,

encourages people to eat too much meat, and slick advertising designed

to get children hooked on a lifetime McDonalds habit.



Buycott:



This is a list of companies whose products hasn't been tested on

animals taken from a list that a Swedish organisation publishes. It's

used without any permission whatsoever. :)



In this list there might be companies that should be boycotted anyway,

but if so, it has nothing to do with testing on animals. Please notify

us if there is.



V in front of the company name means their products doesn't contain

anything from animals. B means there is, but that that it's natural

animal products like milk and such. M means there's make up products

in the serie as well as other things.
