Show Me The Money #39
Tony Hunnicutt
Contrary to
conventional wisdom, I love judging a book (or a zine) by its cover. The cover
of Show Me the Money #9 had me smiling from ear to ear. The cover itself, with
messages in artful fonts writing against pink card stock, should be made into a
poster. It reads, in part:
Anarchy is NOT chaos
Anarchy is NOT lawlessness
Anarchy IS based upon the principle of
SELF-OWNERSHIP.
Anarchists are PEACEFUL people who reject
initiated aggression against anyone WITHOUT EXCEPTION.
According to the
mainstream media, anarchists are Molotov cocktail throwing terrorists. WRONG.
Tony Hunnicutt reports
the news that mainstream media does not want you to hear. It’s not just that
they are being lazy, or are too busy covering Miley Cyrus’ latest bout of
optional clothing syndrome. Nope – they truly do NOT want you to know why the
postal service is failing, that 30 million bees have been found dead in Canada,
that the majority of rivers in the United States can not support aquatic life, how
many jobs were lost and where, or what the Federal Reserve is up to in terms of
economic manipulation. Zines like this are indispensible because you can’t make
this shit up, and corporate controlled media won’t bring it to your attention.
Opuntia #273
Dale Spiers
T2P 2E7
It’s a sad day in
zinedom. This is Dale’s last paper issue of Opuntia. Due to postal increases
and other reasons, Dale (who has been a major supporter of the papernet) is
taking Opuntia online-only via efanzines.com. Opuntia has been published since
1991 on paper only and has been a consistently excellent source of information
and book reviews covering numerous scholarly and science fiction topics. This
is a huge loss and I’m at a loss for words. I REFUSE to take my zines online
where they are at the whim of isp providers and easy digital manipulation or
deletion. Dale – don’t do it! Stay with us out here on the postal plains &
fight the good fight.
