Tools of Modern Gunmaking: Plastic and a 3-D Printer

Posted on by

“Inexpensive 3-D printers have grown in popularity in part because they are easy to use. It is not even necessary to know how to create the design files that instruct the device to print bit after bit of plastic to build the object, as there are files for tens of thousands of objects available on the Internet, created by other users and freely shared.  A lower receiver is the only part of an AR-15 that, when bought, requires the filing of federal paperwork. But it is legal to make an AR-15 for personal use as long as there is no intent to sell them. And if the lower receiver is homemade, no paperwork is required.”

12,000 Peaceful People Arrested in Italy for Not Paying Taxes; Police Discover Thriving Black Market

Posted on by

“Italy’s financial police said Thursday they had busted close to 12,000 people last year for evading over 56 billion euros ($74 billion) worth of taxes.  Investigators rooted out 8,617 people who had never paid taxes and owed the Italian tax man a total of 22.7 billion euros, the financial police said in a statement.  The crack down on tax evaders in Italy intensified when Prime Minister Mario Monti came to power at the end of 2011, as the government attempted to reduce the country’s deficit and debt.  The financial police also uncovered over 16,000 people working on the black market, the statement said.”

Agorism and Nazism: A Study in Polar Opposites

Posted on by

nodrop6

“The reason why I want to mention System D is because it helps me starkly illustrate that in the final analysis what is being discussed here is simply human survival. This is a discussion that, without being hyperbolic, does touch upon life-and-death issues. To make this unexceptionable point crystal clear, Robert Neuwirth, in his book The Stealth of Nations, mentions how System D has helped people survive the financial crisis.  Perhaps one of the most impressive examples of the counter-economics idea in action is that of what businesspeople did in order to evade the price control laws of Nazi Germany.”

New York State Black Market in Cigarettes Booming

Posted on by

“More than 60 percent of cigarettes smoked in New York State, which has the highest tobacco taxes in the nation, are smuggled in from out of state and consumed tax free.  New York raised its excise tax by 58% from $2.75 a pack to $4.35 in 2010, but it resulted in only a 20% increase in revenue.  It’s is really good to know this underground network is in action. In addition to smokers being provided tax free cigarettes, the black market that is developing in NYS is creating a network of trusted suppliers and customers that can be operational against further government interventions that may take place down the road.”

Bitcoin Venture Capitalist Roger Ver’s Journey to Anarchism

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/rogerver-300x1992.jpg

“In addition to computer parts, I, along with dozens of other resellers across the country, including Cabelas, were selling a product called a ‘Pest Control Report 2000.’ It was basically a firecracker used by farmers to scare deer and birds away from their corn fields. While everyone else, including the manufacturer, were simply asked to stop selling them I became the only person in the nation to be prosecuted.  After my release from Lompoc Federal Penitentiary I had to deal with three years of lies, insults, threats, and general harassment by the US Federal probation department. I moved to Japan on the very day my probation finished.”

Preparing for the upcoming federal confrontation on legalized marijuana

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/herbstreats-300x1381.png

“What seems to be pretty much a given is that the DEA will not go after consumers. They simply don’t have the staff to do it. 99% of possession arrests are by state and local police — if they’re not doing it under the new law, then the feds can’t do much about it.  So, as with medical marijuana, they’ll go after the big suppliers. That’s almost impossible to defend against — the government’s ability to seize property and the visibility of large suppliers makes it easy picking.  So the smart thing would be to push for a lot of small suppliers — make it hard for the DEA to go after them and less of a loss if they do.”

Black Market Drug Site ‘Silk Road’ Booming: $22 Million In Annual Sales

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Screen-Shot-2012-08-06-at-11.52.12-AM2.png

“The site’s number of sellers, who offer everything from cocaine to ecstasy, has jumped from around 300 in February to more than 550. Its total sales now add up to around $1.9 million a month. And its operators generate more than $6,000 a day in commissions for themselves, compared with around $2,500 in February.  Christin cautions that his study only looks at a six month period of Silk Road’s sales, and that a big part of the site’s measured success comes from appreciation in the Bitcoin currency Silk Road trades in.”
