POLITICAL zines. Posted 21 March, 1993 by Jerod Pore.
|
||
Included here are the political zines L. Reiko Higa and I have reviewed for
|
||
the up-coming Issue #47 of Factsheet Five, and the political zines Seth
|
||
reviewed for Issue #46 of F5, AND reviews contributed by people on The
|
||
Net (thank you, thank you, thank you). These are zines of a somewhat
|
||
"mainstream" bent, if one can consider communism, libertarianism and
|
||
anarchism to be mainstream. The more extreme and/or "fringe" political
|
||
zines, such as white-supremicist zines, were included in the previously
|
||
released rant file (available now via anonymous ftp at red.css.itd.umich.edu
|
||
in /pub/Factsheet.Five). Zines dealing with environmental issues, and
|
||
general 'news' zines were included in this file as well.
|
||
|
||
This file is part of FactSheet Five - Electric. Questions or comments
|
||
regarding FactSheet Five - Electric should be directed to
|
||
jerod23@well.sf.ca.us
|
||
|
||
If you wish to send zines for review in both the electronic and print
|
||
versions of Factsheet Five, the snailmail address is:

||

|
||
P.O. Box 170099
|
||
San Francisco CA 94117-0099
|
||
|
||
You might notice a change in our format. This is due to using the official
|
||
Factsheet Five data-entry software. The %Title: section is, for the most
|
||
part, the same, although we've added the date of the zine when available.
|
||
%Descr: starts with a general review of the publication, indented thanks
|
||
to the joys of FoxPro(tm), then a review of the issue(s) in particular,
|
||
then, perhaps, a one or two line summary. %Info: has the single issue and
|
||
subscription prices followed by a carriage return, the number of pages,
|
||
page size and the reviewer followed by a carriage return, then the
|
||
policies on trading, submissions, reviews, back-issues, age-statements,
|
||
ads and such. This last section will still be somewhat error-prone as
|
||
we aren't always clear on these policies when we read a zine.
|
||
|
||
The paper sizes translate as follows:
|
||
S - Standard, or 8.5 x 11 inches
|
||
D - Digest, or standard folded in half
|
||
L - Legal, or 8.5 x 14 inches
|
||
HL - Half Legal, you figure it out
|
||
HS - Half Standard, or long digest 4.25 x 11 inches
|
||
T - Tabloid, usually 11 x 17 or thereabouts
|
||
B - Broadsheet, about 14 x 17
|
||
O - Oversized and way bigger than tabloid or broadsheet
|
||
M - Mini, from digest cut in half to postage stamp sized
|
||
A4 - Metric Standard, about 21 x 30 centimeters
|
||
A5 - Metric Digest (don't have any handy to measure, and why does the
|
||
number get bigger when the paper is getter smaller?)
|
||
A2 - Metric Tabloid

%Title: COLTSFOOT: In appreciation of wild plants Volume 13 Issue 6
|
||
%Descr: Nov/Dec.'92
|
||
Essential and unique botanical zine dedicated to wild flora.
|
||
Altogether delightful, a joy to read and wonderfully illuminating, Coltsfoot
|
||
is a budding ethnobotanist's dream. It offers up stories on the
|
||
many-splendored gifts of the plant world, from suggesions of what to do with
|
||
old roses, an examination of ginseng, common smartweed and amazing new uses
|
||
for common everyday plants such as the yew tree, the bark and berries of
|
||
which are thought to be effective in treating lung and ovarian cancer, and
|
||
weeds such as datura or "jimson weed" which one scientist has discovered is
|
||
effective in recycling plutonium wastes.
|
||
A must for every concerned and ecologically-conscious citizen!

|

%Descr: Independent, reader-supported news monthly emanating from

|
||
The Missouri-based Frontier Report is an indie, reader-supported newspaper
|
||
commmitted to "the empowerment of individuals through "sharing information,
|
||
analysis and opinions of environmental, social, ethical and related topics.
|
||
Full of anarchic humor, thought-provoking and rich rants, poetry and essays
|
||
on everything from Bush to Bosnia-Herzegovina, African history, comfort &
|
||
concern as a destructive irony of modern merican social reality, efforts to

%Title: NEW AGE PATRIOT: Quaterly Newsmagazine fro Drug, Environmental &
|
||
%Descr: Social Reform Activists Volume 3 Issue 4 Winter, 1993
|
||
The New Age Patriot strives to solve drug, environmental and
|
||
social problems. One relatively easy fix to all three would
|
||
be the re-legalization of marijuana.
|
||
This issue is dedicated to the probably lost cause of convincing Bill
|
||
Clinton and Al Gore to take a stand on re-legalization. Good luck. The
|
||
addresses they give are now out-of-date, but here's one for the email set:

|
||
on the second annual International Drug Policy Day to be held April 3, 1993
|
||
at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, and elsewhere around the world.
|
||
Probably the best US-based re-legalization publication.

%Title: SALON: A Journal of Aesthetics Issue 18 Winter 92/93
|
||
%Descr: "...the zine which explains libertarianism to artists and
|
||
art to libertarians - but anyone can play." And it's my
|
||
favorite Libertarian zine.
|
||
This huge issue focusses on Freedom of Expression, along with other
|
||
forgotten elements of the Bill of Rights. There's first-hand accounts of
|
||
holding public readings of banned books, nasty encounters with local
|
||
government art police, Island Records cowardly act of censoring
|
||
Negativland's U2 single, Bob Z's run-in with the sanitation cops, court
|
||
reporters arbitrarilly altering transcripts and the making of "Through the
|
||
Wire." Reprints from the Libertarian Alliance, great moments in censorship
|
||
(from the 1600's to the present), Ace Backwards, Blair Wilson, quotes and
|
||
notes from all over and (surprise!) government abuse of civil liberties.
|
||
Signed, numbered, and essential. Salon is especially essential if you
|
||
though Libertarianism was raving Aynarchists out to make more money for
|
||
Donald Trump.

%Title: THE HOOKAH: The People's Pot Periodical Issue 11
|
||
%Descr: What's up with the campaign to legalize Cannabis in England.
|
||
A better version of all the world-saving abilities of hemp. Mind you, I'm
|
||
all for the legalization of pot, I'm just a bit skeptical of all the wonders
|
||
of a single plant. But I'm no botanist. Anyway, I've seen these claims
|
||
over and over, but somebody *finally* gave some reputable documentation.
|
||
The story of Howard Marks, the one-time main importer of hemp into England.
|
||
Why hemp is so good for cattle. Hemp through history. Newsclippings,
|
||
letters, form letters *you* can write, contact groups and so forth. Better
|
||
than most of the stateside publications on the subject.
|
||
Excellent take on the subject or relegalization. Hemp cardstock cover.

|
||
cooperatively-owned natural, organic and Native American
|
||
spiritual commune somewhere in the wilds of the Pacific
|
||
Northwest.
|
||
The KaniKsu Project is the name of a planned community that will be
|
||
dedicated to nature, spirit and organic living. The Kaniksu region is
|
||
comprised of parts of Montana, Washington, Oregon and Idaho and includes
|
||
expansive farmlands, woodlands, oand orchards for optimal survival
|
||
conditions, independent of fossil fuels. The group behind the project are
|
||
proponents of unifying U.S. and Canadian currency for one kind of universal,
|
||
worldwide method of exchange. THe newsletter outlines the group's plan to
|
||
build the Dancing Moose Lodge community; how much initial partners will be
|
||
expected to contribute and what they will get in return. A list of related
|
||
publications and a resources guide are included.

%Title: TRUTH SEEKER: Freethought Publication since 1873 Volume 119
|
||
Issue 4 Winter 92/93
|
||
%Descr: 120 years of writing about freethought
|
||
(or atheism, if you must) and honest money. Just think what
|
||
good shape this country would be in if it had 120 years of
|
||
freethought and honest money.
|
||
The big article this issue is on the covert history of the Federal Reserve
|
||
and preceeding US central banks. This is *not* a conspiracy theory,
|
||
although I'm sure that the facts presented here have, or will show up in
|
||
several. One interesting point raised is that during the years of 1835 and
|
||
1836, when there was no central bank in any form, the Federal Government had
|
||
a budget surplus that allowed for the building of universities, canals,
|
||
bridges and roads. Plus refutiations of Christian nonsense.
|
||
An excellent perspective on values, monetary and humanistic.

A disgruntled former employee of the National Security

other all-too-typical government actions. The Editorial
|

address is 2001 S Street NW Suite 740 Washington DC

The Clinton administration as more of the same. Commentary on the latest

intelligence authorization bill (HR 5095), especially Gates' new openness
|
||
policy that insists on classifying the few intelligence figures that have
|
||
been published. I hope this glasnost does for the CIA, NSA and agencies

POLITICAL zines. Posted 21 March, 1993 by Jerod Pore.
|
||
Included here are the political zines L. Reiko Higa and I have reviewed for
|
||
the up-coming Issue #47 of Factsheet Five, and the political zines Seth
|
||
reviewed for Issue #46 of F5, AND reviews contributed by people on The
|
||
Net (thank you, thank you, thank you). These are zines of a somewhat
|
||
"mainstream" bent, if one can consider communism, libertarianism and
|
||
anarchism to be mainstream. The more extreme and/or "fringe" political
|
||
zines, such as white-supremicist zines, were included in the previously
|
||
released rant file (available now via anonymous ftp at red.css.itd.umich.edu
|
||
in /pub/Factsheet.Five). Zines dealing with environmental issues, and
|
||
general 'news' zines were included in this file as well.
|
||
|
||
This file is part of FactSheet Five - Electric. Questions or comments
|
||
regarding FactSheet Five - Electric should be directed to
|
||
jerod23@well.sf.ca.us
|
||
|
||
If you wish to send zines for review in both the electronic and print
|
||
versions of Factsheet Five, the snailmail address is:

||
Factsheet Five
|
||
P.O. Box 170099
|
||
San Francisco CA 94117-0099
|
||
|
||
You might notice a change in our format. This is due to using the official
|
||
Factsheet Five data-entry software. The %Title: section is, for the most
|
||
part, the same, although we've added the date of the zine when available.
|
||
%Descr: starts with a general review of the publication, indented thanks
|
||
to the joys of FoxPro(tm), then a review of the issue(s) in particular,
|
||
then, perhaps, a one or two line summary. %Info: has the single issue and
|
||
subscription prices followed by a carriage return, the number of pages,
|
||
page size and the reviewer followed by a carriage return, then the
|
||
policies on trading, submissions, reviews, back-issues, age-statements,
|
||
ads and such. This last section will still be somewhat error-prone as
|
||
we aren't always clear on these policies when we read a zine.
|
||
|
||
The paper sizes translate as follows:
|
||
S - Standard, or 8.5 x 11 inches
|
||
D - Digest, or standard folded in half
|
||
L - Legal, or 8.5 x 14 inches
|
||
HL - Half Legal, you figure it out
|
||
HS - Half Standard, or long digest 4.25 x 11 inches
|
||
T - Tabloid, usually 11 x 17 or thereabouts
|
||
B - Broadsheet, about 14 x 17
|
||
O - Oversized and way bigger than tabloid or broadsheet
|
||
M - Mini, from digest cut in half to postage stamp sized
|
||
A4 - Metric Standard, about 21 x 30 centimeters
|
||
A5 - Metric Digest (don't have any handy to measure, and why does the
|
||
number get bigger when the paper is getter smaller?)
|
||
A2 - Metric Tabloid

Altogether delightful, a joy to read and wonderfully illuminating, Coltsfoot

old roses, an examination of ginseng, common smartweed and amazing new uses
|
||
for common everyday plants such as the yew tree, the bark and berries of
|
||
which are thought to be effective in treating lung and ovarian cancer, and
|
||
weeds such as datura or "jimson weed" which one scientist has discovered is
|
||
effective in recycling plutonium wastes.
|
||
A must for every concerned and ecologically-conscious citizen!

%Title: NEW AGE PATRIOT: Quaterly Newsmagazine fro Drug, Environmental &

||
%Descr: Social Reform Activists Volume 3 Issue 4 Winter, 1993
|
||
The New Age Patriot strives to solve drug, environmental and

social problems. One relatively easy fix to all three would

be the re-legalization of marijuana.

This issue is dedicated to the probably lost cause of convincing Bill
|

Clinton and Al Gore to take a stand on re-legalization. Good luck. The

|
||
%Descr: "...the zine which explains libertarianism to artists and
|
||
art to libertarians - but anyone can play." And it's my
|
||
favorite Libertarian zine.
|
||
This huge issue focusses on Freedom of Expression, along with other
|
||
forgotten elements of the Bill of Rights. There's first-hand accounts of
|
||
holding public readings of banned books, nasty encounters with local
|
||
government art police, Island Records cowardly act of censoring
|
||
Negativland's U2 single, Bob Z's run-in with the sanitation cops, court
|
||
reporters arbitrarilly altering transcripts and the making of "Through the
|
||
Wire." Reprints from the Libertarian Alliance, great moments in censorship
|
||
(from the 1600's to the present), Ace Backwards, Blair Wilson, quotes and
|
||
notes from all over and (surprise!) government abuse of civil liberties.
|
||
Signed, numbered, and essential. Salon is especially essential if you
|
||
though Libertarianism was raving Aynarchists out to make more money for
|
||
Donald Trump.

%Title: THE HOOKAH: The People's Pot Periodical Issue 11
|

%Descr: What's up with the campaign to legalize Cannabis in England.
|
||
A better version of all the world-saving abilities of hemp. Mind you, I'm
|
||
all for the legalization of pot, I'm just a bit skeptical of all the wonders
|
||
of a single plant. But I'm no botanist. Anyway, I've seen these claims
|
||
over and over, but somebody *finally* gave some reputable documentation.
|
||
The story of Howard Marks, the one-time main importer of hemp into England.
|
||
Why hemp is so good for cattle. Hemp through history. Newsclippings,
|
||
letters, form letters *you* can write, contact groups and so forth. Better
|
||
than most of the stateside publications on the subject.
|
||
Excellent take on the subject or relegalization. Hemp cardstock cover.

(or atheism, if you must) and honest money. Just think what
|

good shape this country would be in if it had 120 years of
|
||
freethought and honest money.
|
||
The big article this issue is on the covert history of the Federal Reserve
|
||
and preceeding US central banks. This is *not* a conspiracy theory,
|
||
although I'm sure that the facts presented here have, or will show up in
|
||
several. One interesting point raised is that during the years of 1835 and
|
||
1836, when there was no central bank in any form, the Federal Government had
|
||
a budget surplus that allowed for the building of universities, canals,
|
||
bridges and roads. Plus refutiations of Christian nonsense.
|
||
An excellent perspective on values, monetary and humanistic.

POLITICAL zines. Posted 21 March, 1993 by Jerod Pore.
|
||
Included here are the political zines L. Reiko Higa and I have reviewed for
|
||
the up-coming Issue #47 of Factsheet Five, and the political zines Seth
|
||
reviewed for Issue #46 of F5, AND reviews contributed by people on The
|
||
Net (thank you, thank you, thank you). These are zines of a somewhat
|
||
"mainstream" bent, if one can consider communism, libertarianism and
|
||
anarchism to be mainstream. The more extreme and/or "fringe" political
|
||
zines, such as white-supremicist zines, were included in the previously
|
||
released rant file (available now via anonymous ftp at red.css.itd.umich.edu
|
||
in /pub/Factsheet.Five). Zines dealing with environmental issues, and
|
||
general 'news' zines were included in this file as well.
|
||
|
||
This file is part of FactSheet Five - Electric. Questions or comments
|
||
regarding FactSheet Five - Electric should be directed to
|
||
jerod23@well.sf.ca.us
|
||
|
||
If you wish to send zines for review in both the electronic and print
|
||
versions of Factsheet Five, the snailmail address is:

||
P.O. Box 170099
|
||
San Francisco CA 94117-0099
|
||
|
||
You might notice a change in our format. This is due to using the official
|
||
Factsheet Five data-entry software. The %Title: section is, for the most
|
||
part, the same, although we've added the date of the zine when available.
|
||
%Descr: starts with a general review of the publication, indented thanks
|
||
to the joys of FoxPro(tm), then a review of the issue(s) in particular,
|
||
then, perhaps, a one or two line summary. %Info: has the single issue and
|
||
subscription prices followed by a carriage return, the number of pages,
|
||
page size and the reviewer followed by a carriage return, then the
|
||
policies on trading, submissions, reviews, back-issues, age-statements,
|
||
ads and such. This last section will still be somewhat error-prone as
|
||
we aren't always clear on these policies when we read a zine.
|
||
|
||
The paper sizes translate as follows:
|
||
S - Standard, or 8.5 x 11 inches
|
||
D - Digest, or standard folded in half
|
||
L - Legal, or 8.5 x 14 inches
|
||
HL - Half Legal, you figure it out
|
||
HS - Half Standard, or long digest 4.25 x 11 inches
|
||
T - Tabloid, usually 11 x 17 or thereabouts
|
||
B - Broadsheet, about 14 x 17
|
||
O - Oversized and way bigger than tabloid or broadsheet
|
||
M - Mini, from digest cut in half to postage stamp sized
|
||
A4 - Metric Standard, about 21 x 30 centimeters
|
||
A5 - Metric Digest (don't have any handy to measure, and why does the
|
||
number get bigger when the paper is getter smaller?)
|
||
A2 - Metric Tabloid

%Title: COLTSFOOT: In appreciation of wild plants Volume 13 Issue 6
|

%Descr: Nov/Dec.'92
|
||
Essential and unique botanical zine dedicated to wild flora.
|
||
Altogether delightful, a joy to read and wonderfully illuminating, Coltsfoot
|
||
is a budding ethnobotanist's dream. It offers up stories on the
|
||
many-splendored gifts of the plant world, from suggesions of what to do with
|
||
old roses, an examination of ginseng, common smartweed and amazing new uses
|
||
for common everyday plants such as the yew tree, the bark and berries of
|
||
which are thought to be effective in treating lung and ovarian cancer, and
|
||
weeds such as datura or "jimson weed" which one scientist has discovered is
|
||
effective in recycling plutonium wastes.
|
||
A must for every concerned and ecologically-conscious citizen!

%Title: NEW AGE PATRIOT: Quaterly Newsmagazine fro Drug, Environmental &
|
||
%Descr: Social Reform Activists Volume 3 Issue 4 Winter, 1993
|
||
The New Age Patriot strives to solve drug, environmental and
|
||
social problems. One relatively easy fix to all three would
|
||
be the re-legalization of marijuana.
|
||
This issue is dedicated to the probably lost cause of convincing Bill
|
||
Clinton and Al Gore to take a stand on re-legalization. Good luck. The
|
||
addresses they give are now out-of-date, but here's one for the email set:

|
||
on the second annual International Drug Policy Day to be held April 3, 1993
|
||
at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, and elsewhere around the world.
|
||
Probably the best US-based re-legalization publication.

|

%Descr: "...the zine which explains libertarianism to artists and
|
||
art to libertarians - but anyone can play." And it's my
|
||
favorite Libertarian zine.
|
||
This huge issue focusses on Freedom of Expression, along with other
|
||
forgotten elements of the Bill of Rights. There's first-hand accounts of
|
||
holding public readings of banned books, nasty encounters with local
|
||
government art police, Island Records cowardly act of censoring
|
||
Negativland's U2 single, Bob Z's run-in with the sanitation cops, court
|
||
reporters arbitrarilly altering transcripts and the making of "Through the
|
||
Wire." Reprints from the Libertarian Alliance, great moments in censorship
|
||
(from the 1600's to the present), Ace Backwards, Blair Wilson, quotes and
|
||
notes from all over and (surprise!) government abuse of civil liberties.
|
||
Signed, numbered, and essential. Salon is especially essential if you
|
||
though Libertarianism was raving Aynarchists out to make more money for
|
||
Donald Trump.

%Title: THE HOOKAH: The People's Pot Periodical Issue 11

%Descr: What's up with the campaign to legalize Cannabis in England.
|
||
A better version of all the world-saving abilities of hemp. Mind you, I'm
|
||
all for the legalization of pot, I'm just a bit skeptical of all the wonders
|
||
of a single plant. But I'm no botanist. Anyway, I've seen these claims
|
||
over and over, but somebody *finally* gave some reputable documentation.
|
||
The story of Howard Marks, the one-time main importer of hemp into England.
|
||
Why hemp is so good for cattle. Hemp through history. Newsclippings,
|
||
letters, form letters *you* can write, contact groups and so forth. Better
|
||
than most of the stateside publications on the subject.
|
||
Excellent take on the subject or relegalization. Hemp cardstock cover.

%Title: TRUTH SEEKER: Freethought Publication since 1873 Volume 119
|
||
Issue 4 Winter 92/93
|
||
%Descr: 120 years of writing about freethought
|
||
(or atheism, if you must) and honest money. Just think what
|
||
good shape this country would be in if it had 120 years of
|
||
freethought and honest money.
|
||
The big article this issue is on the covert history of the Federal Reserve
|
||
and preceeding US central banks. This is *not* a conspiracy theory,
|
||
although I'm sure that the facts presented here have, or will show up in
|
||
several. One interesting point raised is that during the years of 1835 and
|
||
1836, when there was no central bank in any form, the Federal Government had
|
||
a budget surplus that allowed for the building of universities, canals,
|
||
bridges and roads. Plus refutiations of Christian nonsense.
|
||
An excellent perspective on values, monetary and humanistic.

policy that insists on classifying the few intelligence figures that have
