Liberty Conference!

Saturday November 7

Taking place on the historic campus of Harvard University, the 2009 Boston Students For Liberty Conference will be an opportunity for all liberty enthusiasts in the Northeast to spend a full day soaking in the ideal of liberty. From 8:30 am to 8:30 pm, you will get a chance to hear great speeches from leading scholars of liberty, engage with activists of the liberty movement, and meet student leaders of liberty.

Come to the conference to gain the concrete resources you need to be an integral part and leader of the burgeoning liberty movement on your own campus, be introduced to the variety of internship and employment opportunities in the community of liberty enthusiasts, or network with like-minded friends and activists.
Join us for this exciting day (don’t worry, three meals and an evening social on us!), and spread the news to your friends.

8 Ways To Culture Jam The Economy!

If you really want to culture jam the economy, here are some methods:

1. Buy stocks without a broker. (Only ownership changes.)
2. Give somebody a gift of cash or receive a gift of cash. (Only ownership changes.)
3. Sell used goods. (Prices can’t be counted twice.)
4. Marry a maid. (The maid doesn’t get paid for household tasks!)
5. Pay under-the-table. (No need to do any financial reporting.)
6. Buy a whore.
7. Gamble amongst yourselves.
8. Buy drugs!

You are on your own. KLYAM doesn’t necessarily endorse any of the above.

Save The Planet…EAT YOUR DOG!

The Dominion Post
The eco-pawprint of a pet dog is twice that of a 4.6-litre Land Cruiser driven 10,000 kilometres a year, researchers have found.

Victoria University professors Brenda and Robert Vale, architects who specialise in sustainable living, say pet owners should swap cats and dogs for creatures they can eat, such as chickens or rabbits, in their provocative new book Time to Eat the Dog: The real guide to sustainable living.

The couple have assessed the carbon emissions created bypopular pets, taking into account the ingredients of pet food and the land needed to create them.

“If you have a German shepherd or similar-sized dog, for example, its impact every year is exactly the same as driving a large car around,” Brenda Vale said.

Take that environmentalists!

Pro-Vaccine…Propaganda!!!

Infowars
The federal government has accelerated its $16 million dollar PR campaign to brainwash and coerce increasingly suspicious Americans into taking the swine flu vaccine by weaving their propaganda into a popular pre-school show for children currently airing on PBS Kids.

Sid the Science Kid is a half-hour series produced by Jim Henson Productions and KCET in Los Angeles, California. The program is bankrolled in part by The Boeing Company, a titan of the military-industrial complex.

During an episode of the show set to air on Monday, the computer-generated characters are shown dancing around and singing about how their are taking their flu vaccine.

Indeed, the entire episode is devoted to pro-vaccine propaganda and was created in association with Health and Human Services. The episode is entitled, “Getting a Shot: You can do it!”

Good old fashioned propaganda.

The Freeway is Free!

Has Been Free I should say. I guess in March of 2009, former drug kingpin, “Freeway” Ricky Ross was released from prison for being a “model prisoner.” He was then sent to a halfway house and finally on September 29, 2009, he was completely released. How did I miss this?! Why didn’t anyone tell me? Here’s his Facebook page:

How Weed Won the West…


This is a trailer for the new Kevin Booth documentary. This time he focues specifcally on Marijuana (as the title clearly indicates) as opposed to his last film, American Drug War, which evaluated all or most drugs related to the drug war. I hope he include the reality of Obama’s (at least so far) abandoment of his campaign promises concerning law enforcement’s handling of drugs. Anyway, I’ll be seeing this soon.

Question of the Week

This is a new segment for KLYAM and like others of its kind (e.g. Songs of the week) I will attempt to post as often as I can, but I am not actually guaranteeing that it will appear as frequently as the title implies. Anyway, here’s the question:

Is violence ever an effective means to achieve social/political goals? When is it justified? When is it not justified? Where does one draw the lines? Are there any lines? Examples for/against?


The Weathermen or Weather Underground as they became were proponents of using violence to end the aggressive war in Vietnam.

David Dellinger, a committed pacifist, peacefully protested the war in Vietnam using active non-violence: civil disobedience, demonstrations, etc. This is a mugshot of him; he was imprisoned for refusing to serve in World War II.

Pleaseee Comment!
