FYI: A PHONY "ANARCHIST" SITE
In the past few months, a considerable effort has been put into building
up a fake "anarchist" website, anarchy.net, and making it appear
legitimate. A mere shell just a few months ago, this site suddenly
includes a blog, a forum with nearly 500 (fake and apparently real) users,
a Wikipedia page, a "library", and even an online store selling shirts
advertising the site.
Though the site sports a "copyright" (one of many give-aways!) dating back
to 1997, the domain was just a gateway to porn sites as recently as 2005.
It is currently registered to "Throne Networks", someone with a Virginia
PO box who also hosts these other lovely sites:
fuckcapitalism.com ("Anti-Capitalism")
ihatejobs.com ("I Hate Jobs")
infoterror.com ("Infoterror Internet Activist Promotions, Inc.")
antihumanism.com ("Anti-Humanism")
nihil.org ("Center for Nihilist and Nihilism Studies")
amerika.org ("Al-Qaeda Appreciation Society of North America")
corrupt.org ("Remaking Modern Society")
nazi.org ("Libertarian National Socialist Green Party")
churcharson.com ("CHURCH ARSON")
realitynews.com ("A look into the real world")
juliusevola.com ("Julius Evola: Traditionalist Visionary")
necrocapitalist.org ("Necrocapitalist")
pan-nationalism.org ("Pan-Nationalist Movement")
penttilinkola.com ("Pentti Linkola Fansite")
hessian.org ("The Hessian Studies Society")
anus.com ("American Nihilist Underground Society")
lostwisdom.com ("Lost Wisdom")
zionists.com ("Kahanist National Zionist Party")
continuity.us ("Continuity MOvement")
genocide.org ("genocide, holocaust, and democide studies")
fuckchrist.com ("Support the Judeo-Christian Holocaust")
burzum.com ("The Music of Burzum and the Writings of Varg Vikernes")
sataniccoalition.com ("The Satanic Coalition")
pragmatism.us ("Pragmatism Party - Traditional National Democratic Party")
Most of these sites link to several of the others, and up until very
recently, even the new "anarchist" version of anarchy.net linked to at
least the first six of them. The links were taken down when commenters on
the site's blog, and posters on its forums, began objecting to their
content. But it is clear that the same organization is behind all of them.
Taken together, these sites appear to be a broad net cast at young people
in the process of rejecting inherited, official values. Whether they are a
front for "third positionist" fascists, a government operation, part of a
spam enterprise, or the product of a bored obsessive, what is abundantly
clear is that "anarchy.net" is not operating in the interests of the
anarchist movement, nor indeed of the majority of the world's people.
If the links with "nazi.org" weren't enough, digging a little on the site
itself uncovers an explicitly racist position:
http://www.anarchy.net/anarchy/anarchy_library/racism/
"
No one seems to care how contradictory it is for the powers that be that
push the ideas simultaneously that
a) all races are inherently equal
b) there is no such thing as "race"
c) some races need special assistance.
It is obvious that there are noteworthy biological differences with
different human populations. However, this shouldn't be either a free
ticket to discriminate with great prejudice nor to think that racial gaps
should be diminished by interbreeding, because both forms of thinking are
very far from what is stable and close to reality.

The same text was pasted as a comment on a third-positionist fascist blog
(http://anarchonation.blogspot.com/2007/10/jena-racists.html)
in October, by someone calling himself "Postglobalism" and linking to
anarchy.net, with the added line "Every nation needs its own culture,
rules and space to live."
The Internet is notoriously full of exactly this kind of bullshit. What
makes "anarchy.net" a problem is that it is now pretending to be the
"International Anarchists Alliance", an emerging coalition of actual
anarchist groups:
Member Organizations
Anarchist-Antitheist Army, (Platformist), North America
BlackStar Coalition, (Underground Collective), North America
Anarchist Brotherhood, (Underground Militant Group), North America
Schuyler's Army (Black Bloc Coordinator), North America, Europe
Needless to say, these groups are all either fake or imaginary:
"The Anarchist-Antitheist Army, based in North America has come forward to
be the first organization to become part of the Anarchist alliance."
"BlackStar is based in North-Eastern USA and South-Western Ontario. The
Coalition's contact may be reached through one of our staff."
"The Anarchist Brotherhood operates in northwestern USA, Ontario and
Quebec. Contact to the Brotherhood is not permitted."
Anarchists in the US and Canada are forming real organizations. Some are
networks that support us in our participation within broader movements for
change and resistance in our communities and workplaces; others are
specific political groups pursuing collective action strategies. Many are
now growing, experiencing a slowly rising wave of social discontent in
response to economic anxiety and distrust of government solutions.
But history has proven that lone rebels can be misled. And in the course
of a few months, somewhere between dozens and hundreds of visitors to the
anarchy.net site, many identifying themselves as 13 to 17 years old, have
already registered and handed their email addresses over to whoever is
behind the site. At the best, this serves as a confusionary diversion. At
worst, though, it provides a point of contact for fascist indoctrination,
or a fresh FBI file.
Spread the word about "anarchy.net", and if you've already been duped
yourself, be more careful. If you are interested in what anarchists (and
our friends) have to say about the world we live in and our prospects for
making revolutionary social change together, try one of these sites:
