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]

Support Geert Wilders Following on from Perry’s post below, I am pleased to note that there is something we can do to help Geert Wilders.
For those among you who want to actively help, go to his website and donate what you can to help defray what will likely be a ruinous legal bill. The link is here.
Geert Wilders is one of the pitifully few public figures in Europe who is willing to confront the Islamist menace. As a result, his enemies have sentenced him to death (because all they want is peace, don’t you know) and his own government has decided to prosecute him.
Even if you cannot contribute financially then I urge you at least to get a message to him to let him know that he is not alone and that he has many, many friends. He needs them.

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.

Now here’s a thought . . . . If you are ready for the adventure of a
lifetime, try this:
a.. Go to Pakistan , Afghanistan or Iraq illegally.
Never mind immigration quotas, visas, international law, or any of that nonsense.
b.. Once there, demand that the local government provide free medical care for you and your entire family.
c.. Demand that all nurses and doctors be fluent in English, and that all food be cooked according to your special specifications in the hospital.
d. Demand free local government forms, bulletins, etc. be printed in English.
e.. Procreate abundantly.
f.. Deflect any criticism of this allegedly irresponsible reproductive behaviour with, ‘It is a cultural thing; you wouldn’t understand.’
g.. Keep your original identity strong. Fly your previous country’s national flag from your rooftop, or proudly display it in your front window, or on your car bumper.
h.. Speak only English at home and in public, and make sure that your children do likewise.
i.. Demand classes on English culture in the Muslim school system.
j.. Demand a local country driver license or national insurance number equivalent
k.. This will afford other legal rights and will go far to legitimise your unauthorised, illegal, presence in Pakistan , Afghanistan or Iraq
l.. Drive around with no motor, tax or insurance and ignore local traffic laws.
m.. Insist that local country law enforcement teaches English to all its officers..
n.. Organise protest marches against your host country, inciting violence against non-white, non-Christians, and the government that let you in.
Good luck! You’ll soon be dead.
Ten euro on their way across the pond. Thanks for the link.
Does this mean you’ll take off the ‘SUPPORT DENMARK’ site? It seems a bit incongruous. Perhaps it should be modified to read ‘SUPPORT DANES!’?
Well, There’s a petition(Link). For what that’s worth. It’s being carried on JihadWatch (blogrolled on Samizdata), on CountingCasts and I guess a heck of a load of other places.
Essentially it comes down to this… Wilder’s might want to ban the Qu’ran (but then I would like to stop fat girls wearing bikinis in my own fantasy legislatarium) but that is no excuse for saying Wilders has been hoist on his on petard and fuck him.
Because between the desire and the action there is a hell of a gulf. This is a case of an allegedly Western Liberal Democracy supressing free-speech and persecuting someone for speaking freely.
One wonders, so soon after the Gazan war, if this prosecution is a sop from the Dutch establishment to the beards to try and keep the lid on them…
Make no mistake. If Wilders goes to jail then we’re fucked. A cursory trawl through what I (and many others) have written here or on any number of blogs (including my own) makes Fitna look like a preamble to an interfaith conference.
They can’t lock us all up but they don’t need to. True totalitarianism in it’s ultimate form doesn’t need gulags because the entire state is a gulag. See Vasily Grossman for details.
Wait, why do we need to donate? Isn’t supporting people whose rights are suppressed in the the name of state stability why we have Amnesty International?
100e. wish I could do more. thanks for the link. H
Geert Wilders is not Danish. He’s from the Netherlands, which makes him Dutch for some reason (shouldn’t we call the Dutch Netherish and the Germans Deutch? I’ve never understood renaming foreign proper names…if proper, should they not remain so? But I digress…). So support Denmark, if so inclined, but feel free to take shots at the Netherlands. Marcus of Queensbury rules be damned!
Yes, Holland and Denmark are different places. Mea Culpa. Still, how is that ‘SUPPORT DENMARK’ campaign going? Do you still need it?
Done. 25EUR.
What’s a cheque?
Ten euro’s on it’s way. Free speech is critical to our survival.
Just shoved EUR35 down the intertubes.
My hopes and entreaties to Dread Lord Xenu for the slow, painful death of your enemies as well.
€20 on the way to Mr Wilders; as Voltaire allegedly said, “I disagree with what you say but I defend to the death your right to say it”.
I have donated what i could for Geert.
Hope he knows he has friends out there!
