We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Upwards and Onwards It feels crude, offensive even, to refer to events on the West Bank as a sideshow, yet that is exactly what they might have been. Shortly after September 11th, I predicted that Israel and Syria would come to blows. The tension had been brewing for some time and while homicide-bombers were wreaking havoc in Israel and the Israelis wreaking havoc on the West Bank, rockets were being fired into Northern Israel from Lebanon. Lebanon is Syria’s wholly-owned subsidiary.
Well, it looks like the Syrians are expecting trouble and my money says that they are going to get it. The ‘accidental’ explosion at the Syrian missile factory at Homs ten days ago was no accident. It removed Syria’s ability to replace or refuel its existing missile stock. With Syria’s forces concentrated around the Bekaa Valley (deja vous?) they are the only thing standing between the Israelis and Damascus.
How was your appetizer, ladies and gentlemen? Ready for the main course?

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.
