Satoshi Forest, Nine-Acre Sanctuary for the Homeless
“The location at 1999 Massachusetts Ave, Pensacola, FL encompasses nine acres of wooded land that will now become, as Jason King describes it, ‘a homeless sanctuary, a place where the downtrodden can find respite from the ‘crime’ of being simply being poor.’ The property cost $89,000 to purchase, which, King writes, ‘for acreage within the developed part of greater Pensacola, is dirt cheap.’ The mortgage on the property, valued at $600 per month, will be paid entirely in Bitcoin. Once housing construction is well underway, they also intend to add a large kitchen for preparing food, and then begin organic farming operations which he later intends to expand to aquaculture.”

Why Not Privatize Foreign Policy?
“Just as in the free society concerns about the hardships and tragedies of one’s fellow citizens should be a matter of charity and voluntary community efforts to try to alleviate the misfortunes of those who might reasonably need help, it should be matters of personal conscience and choice to assist those in other lands who seem to need and deserve our support. In the 19th century, American adventurers and idealists travelled to South America to assist the peoples there to overthrow Spanish rule and become independent countries. In the 1930s, hundreds of American ‘leftists’ volunteered and fought as private citizens on the anti-fascist side in the Spanish Civil War.”

Dennis Rodman heads back to North Korea to see ‘friend’ Kim Jong-Un
“Korean-American Kenneth Bae, 44, has been held prisoner in the North since November, and Rodman had said last week that he might seek the man’s release. But speaking to reporters at Beijing airport en route to the North Korean capital, Rodman said ‘I haven’t been promised anything’ on Bae. ‘I’m just going to meet my friend Kim the marshal to start a new basketball league going,’ Rodman said. ‘I’m just trying to keep the communication job going.’ North Korea, which bans religious proselytising, said Bae was a Christian evangelist who brought in ‘inflammatory’ material.”

‘Sovereign citizen’ movement, 30,000 strong, worrying Canadian officials
“There have been a number of ‘hard take-downs’ by police in B.C. involving Freemen who refuse to have a driver’s licence and, sometimes, automobile insurance. Dozens of sovereign citizens have found themselves in front of a judge facing tax evasion, contempt or criminal charges. Last month, Warren Fischer, a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine in Nelson, B.C., broke down in tears in court after being convicted of tax evasion. An adherent to Freeman philosophies and a member of the Sovereign Squamish Nation, Fischer refused for several years to pay income tax, saying he did not want his taxes to support the war overseas. He will be sentenced in October.”

US expat in Switzerland builds North Korean schools
“An American retiree living in Switzerland has gained rare access to the pariah state to build schools in the usually off-limits countryside. Typhoons had destroyed many North Korean schools, built with mud and hay instead of cement, and Carpenter’s foundation agreed to help, becoming one of few independent aid groups in the country. Carpenter almost fully funds the North Korean projects himself, and laments the difficulty of convincing donors to pitch in. People ‘don’t see the human angle (or) the hardship,’ he said. ‘North Koreans are human beings who laugh and cry like people everywhere,’ he said, describing people with a ‘good sense of humour’ who are curious about the outside world.”

Anarchy: The Basis for a Civilized Society
“Sartwell says even if anarchism were not practical, it doesn’t follow that it has no value. This is not to put aside the question of practical application. He pointed to the works of anthropologists James Scott and David Graeber, whose work independently has shown how anarchism has worked in a variety of settings. Bowling leagues, to use an example from Sartwell’s book, are anarchist organizations. They are completely voluntary. No one is forced to join. So when you think about it, our lives are full of anarchist organizations built on voluntary foundations. Suddenly, anarchism doesn’t seem like such a radical idea. You come to appreciate that the basis of civilized society is anarchic to its core.”

Cold call victim forces telemarketers to pay him by using premium number
“A British man fed up with cold calls from telemarketers set up a premium phone number in November 2011 and has made £300 by accepting calls and keeping the annoying marketers on the line as long as possible. Lee Beaumont, who works at home in Leeds, UK, was getting calls at all times of the day. ‘I thought there must be a way to make money off these phone calls,’ he told the BBC. He set up an 0871 line (equivalent to a 900 line in the US), which forces people who call him to pay 10p per minute. Of that, he receives 7p (about 10.9¢). He now gives out his 0871 line to any business that might cold call him, while giving friends and family a different number.”
