samizdat – System whereby literature suppressed by the Soviet government was clandestinely written, printed, and distributed; also, the literature itself. Samizdat began appearing in the 1950s, first in Moscow and Leningrad, then throughout the Soviet Union. It typically took the form of carbon copies of typewritten sheets that were passed from reader to reader. The subjects included dissident activities, protests addressed to the regime, transcripts of political trials, analyses of socioeconomic and cultural themes, and even pornography. Samizdat disappeared when media outlets independent of the government emerged in the early 1990s. — Merriam-Webster Concise Encyclopedia
[Apologies, but this is going to be another rare humour free post. There are some new items coming, looking back on the year that is gone and look forward to the year that will, but they are deferred due to holiday commitments. Have this brief piece in the interim.]
There are few in the godless / skeptic community that would know what samizdat was; even less that would appreciate its importance in keeping hopes and humanity alive during the grand utopian experiment that came eventually to be known as the USSR – which liberated the humble proletariat with a regime of terror, poverty, enslavement and mass murder.
One of the only folks I can say that fully appreciates the phenomenon of Samizdat is Paula Kirby – who, ironically, in a sign of the quagmire we are in – released her own piece of Samizdat in July of last year.
The following thoughts coagulated in my mind in response to a rather innocent question raised behind the gates of woman hating rapists hell, and I thought I should reproduce them here, verbatim, as they summarise my thoughts on the status quo at the close of 2012 and birth of 2013.
Why do Greta, Ophelia, Stephanie et al. even care what most ‘Pytters think about their behavior? It’s not as if most of us have any influence on their speaking and writing gigs. We may mock them here and point out their hypocrisy and arrogance, but when has that ever affected their ability to promote themselves or participate in A/S meetings?
They care what we think for the same reasons that the former Soviet bloc cared about Samizdat – they are powerless to stop it or do anything about it, and what we think now propagates itself virally without any effort. It is genuinely grass roots. The resistance to the baboons has reached the stage where it is now fully networked. Various disparate blogs, vlogs and podcasts are now aware of each other’s existence, aware that they are all being attacked by a common enemy. As I have stated several times, it’s kinda like the Arab spring – groups from everywhere that otherwise have little commonality (other than godlessness/skepticism) are now realising that they do have a common goal in resisting the lunacy that is trying to take control of the movements and rule by fiat.
It is very much like the contempt for traditional politicians in much of the West. The politicians may think they control opinion by holding sway over much of the public communication space, but they don’t fool all of the common people who see through their tricks and see them for what they are. The baboons may get published in USAToday, WashPo, Slate, Salon etc., but the Samizdat now has a full head of steam and has permeated everywhere – the common people cannot fail but run across it now. They may control the public narrative, but the people’s narrative is slowly being irrecoverably lost. This is what burns. This is why they care.
Love us or loathe us – we did good. Though we may not get much public credit for undoing the baboon empire, we would not be where we are today were it not for the sustained efforts of the entire ‘pit. I think you can all buy yourselves a well earned beer and have a few moments self-satisfied of smugness.
Once that’s done, it’s back to the grindstone. The job’s only half done.

This is just a chapter in the long series of revolutionaries. Feminism infects and poisons everything with its self-pity crusade born from the shadows of internalized self-loathing. The skeptic community is just the most recent target.
Politics? They were among the first to go, together with the academics. Academics might have had the mental capacity to fight it off, but they tend to lack the courage to stand up against thought reform movements.
Shortly after that came the mainstream media, dragging behind it the next hopelessly doomed victims: schools, and other public institutions. Sports are also gone (apparently it’s common for people to believe that women are better at sports than men) and even the military is firmly in the clutches of feminist offended-representatives.
The gaming community is also a newer kind of target – almost as hopelessly doomed as the others. Except that they have, from the start, gone their own way regardless of what the public tells them (If you can’t type bitch, you just type b1tch – that’s things like l33t are born) We’ll see.
The skeptic community seems like the last line of defense but it’s still a small and tiny Davy-boy against a monstrous Goliath. Yes, I know, the A+ people are few, but their thought patterns are deeply printed into the mainstream proletarian morons and THAT is the Goliath we are up against. As soon as some random bystander hears people arguing from each side, all they hear is that one is a misogynist (i.e. practitioner of black magic) and that is all they’ll walk away remembering.
Really the biggest hope is the fact that feminism isn’t the only movement of its kind. As each of them do their thing of trying to make the world love them so they can perhaps love themselves (that’s what it comes down to in the end), it’s inevitable that they’ll eventually clash with one another. A favorite current example is feminism vs religious freedom (women-pleasing vs Sharia law). Notice how feminists are so uncharacteristically timid about fighting them? That’s because they both fight with the same weapons and, like in the cold war, each side knows that if it uses its main weapon, the other will do the same.
Perhaps the internet will change things a little and the voices of reason will grow to an unprecedented size of 0.1% of the population. Probably the most effective tool is going to be humor – the clever kind that uses lies to reveal the truth.

Oh, I think you’re forgetting someone else who fully appreciates it. That was one of the things I wasn’t allowed to talk about when I left our apartment, and even when at home, not too loudly. There’s a reason Kirby drew the parallel that she did, and it was in no way off the mark.
January 10, 2013 at 7:06 pm
You slipped my mind entirely you cold war refugee. I was just musing that the way the scattered and disparate groups of people have began to network is reminiscent of samizdat – and it occurred to me that Kirby’s Sisterhood of the Oppressed was a perfect example of samizdat literature. An indistinct google docs URL and nothing but word of mouth – spread like wildfire. It was great. A sign that the bulk of the movement actually do give a shit.
January 11, 2013 at 1:09 am
Yeah, I had to read it again just because of this piece. Most of the time, she is so on point. Funny how what seems (and has always seemed) so plain to us is completely lost on others.
January 12, 2013 at 6:04 pm
I haven’t checked in with you for quite awhile, but I heard you are still fighting the good fight. A little birdie told me that you need to rethink paranoid reactions to solid information about your enemies. Just sayin’.
And you are making a difference. Like a US supreme court dissenting opinion, those who write in the margins are often the prophets of the future to come.
But please stop saying things like “They may control the public narrative, but the people’s narrative is slowly being irrecoverably lost.”
It makes your case weaker, because you give too much cred to their minor ‘public victories’.
Do you really believe that whatever press they have garnered is anything thta actually gets read by anyone other than those invloved? It is really like a note, passed around a locker room, and all the in-crowd reads it. Meanwhile, the rest of us go on to get degrees, hold high positions, and make a real difference.
Anyways–keep up the good work.
January 12, 2013 at 10:56 pm
About that solid info, it wasn’t solid enough. There was no proof of any connections between the woman with a different last name and who you claimed is her husband. There is only some trust-based likelihood it’s correct due to you being friends with him.
Being that you’re friends with him (although obviously not a confidante), it may all be true, but none of us have any way of knowing that for sure. It would sound like we were making up stuff even if we totally believe you.
If any of us were to use that info, like in response to a docdrop and say… “oh yeah? well we happen to know YOUR real name and address too”, we’d have no proof. Or even worse, what if they say “oh really? that’s the same fake name and fake wife and fake addy I only used when talking with Pornalysis”.
Now, if you only had some sort of proof to show, then having some “back at you” info could be very helpful next time he doxxes someone. But it has to be verifiable enough that if they say “bullshit, that’s not me/my wife”, we could say, oh yeah? here you are on this website showing you both under your real name and former (or current) address, etc.
Are you sharing the info because you had a fight with him or something?
January 13, 2013 at 12:21 pm
Sure. I’ll bear that in mind should I ever see any.
January 16, 2013 at 8:25 pm
WTF??!! IIIII claimed?????
Fill me in, huh? I was just checking in with Franc.
Where’d you come from? Fill me in!
“There was no proof of any connections between the woman with a different last name and who you claimed is her husband. There is only some trust-based likelihood it’s correct due to you being friends with him.”
Greg Laden is not my friend. I do not know him, never met him, nor drunk with him (he is the type to claim that I refused his advances in an elevator–which is a WAAAAAY worse charge than crying false-rape like the femifisters do– in the gay community) nor did I ever party with him, or kick his ass soundly when he needed it–nor do our children go to school together ( I keep my daughter away from t’e gays and t’e gay friendlies–waaaay too many pedophiles, bonobos, and brain-bending feminists hide behind that identity these days—my daughter goes to school in a communist country, reads real science, and real math equations–all of that, devoid of the gay agenda, the faux science pulpits, or the liberal American racism and unaccountability for the mass slaughters that occur at the hands of these kinds of people).
So WTF are U talking about??.
And Franc: “Sure. I’ll bear that in mind should I ever see any.”
Give me a five give me a five, give me a five, now six!Give me a five give me a five, give me a five, now six!Give me a five give me a five, give me a five, now seven!
SOLD!!!! U R.
SAD. Good luck though. Have a good 15 minutes(hope it gets U laid)… And GET laid once in awhile woudja? All that writing–what does that say about your dossier!!>?? Look at what you attract??? Bluharmny????? Fuck–I wanna cut muy dick off and eat it myself–which would be waaaaaay safer than dealing with her snatch!!!
(p.s. thanks Karl and Isaac, for the IP hop. Kisses from Wei Nu)
January 16, 2013 at 8:45 pm
Oh– I re-read your thread. Are you blaming me for Martha (Mattie, or whatever???)
I really don’t know much about it–but a Big Bird told me that Martha looks EXACTLY LIKE MS.Twatson(isn’t twatson EXACTLY what one might expect as progeny when two fat whores rub clits together in a double Y formation, or inseminate each other with a strap-on??)!
Meanwhile, WTF??!! Bright Orange Elmo is a pedophile?? Go figure….
Make of it what you will–engineer it so it runs for a few days–but that wasn’t even my DOX! Karl? Isaac?? You fuckers….
It’s seems accurate tho.
Imagine what the other ones he didn’t marry would say about him?/….
But why waste time with dull stories (are you guys really that bored? wait till the allied atheists march in and start counting heads…)
Here is a real story (notice that American media obscures the faces in the photos? This reeks of a coming purge indeed…http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/alleged-russian-sleeper-spies-trial/story?id=18222943&cid=ESPNheadline
January 16, 2013 at 9:17 pm
Yup. O.K.
I looked in Google. Could someone please give me an honorarium– moron degree?
Anyone can google “greg laden wife martha tappen” I don’t have the time for this–and fuck you for laying this at my feet!!
But WTF….do the math yourself–according to Gad, there is some kind of connection. Not that I care. Solve your little tempest in a pee-pot yourself!
https://www.google.com/search?q=greg+laden+martha+tappen&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#hl=en&sugexp=les%3B&gs_rn=1&gs_ri=serp&gs_mss=greg%20laden%20wifmartha%20tappen&pq=greg%20laden%20martha%20tappen&cp=16&gs_id=3g&xhr=t&q=greg+laden+wife+martha+tappen&es_nrs=true&pf=p&client=firefox-a&hs=b1Q&tbo=d&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&sclient=psy-ab&oq=greg+laden+wife+martha+tappen&gs_l=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.41018144,d.aWM&fp=3cc0028c65cc0065&biw=1280&bih=699
Have fun!
p.s.
This is your fight–I am out of it. Too many weirdos, and half-wits for my liking.
My final opinion: Greg is kinda brilliant, kinda scheming, and definitely bitch owned from birth with no free will( he knows NO real women–he is a cuckold).
AND: I was a bit surprised at his threats, and his violence directed at people who had PTSD–seems to me even chimps know when they cross the line–but not Greg!! He is more than willing to frame a soldier as a woman hater(not that I necessarily disagree–being a soldier is two ranks down from hiding in the bushes and waiting for a whiff of fresh tail-nubs).
Which is why I said eons ago that he is a police-state enabler. That hasn’t changed. He’s still a party line Democrat(=new conservative), and his biases are enabling the growth of the prison system, and the latest wave of female pedophiles (pick up any newspaper, page one) that are sweeping the west.
Those darned Bonobos, and their feminist sex-with-kindred solution is kind of creepy–and short sighted. Which is why the Chimps win every time–it’s almost as if the gorillas just keep running to higher ground, sayin’ ” I ain’t part of that whole mess…” and gettin’ fucked by human monkeys from the Congo….
Anyhoo– how’s bluharmony? Is she still a flaky fem, struggling as most of them do, with the boundlessness and closeness she shared with her “adoptive mother”? And then, how the “patriarchal society interprets her odd sexual expressions after that?”
Let’s play dress-up! YAAAAAY!! Se? I am a feminist now–empowered by mommy to DRESS UP!!!(on/off/on/off in front of Mommie Dearest…)
YAAAAAYYY>>>>>! Or not.
Hi Blu!!!!!!!! BFF 4EVR!!!!!!!
January 16, 2013 at 11:15 pm
Much higher resolution map available on request, but not to you. Not from the latest, but from your history dating back over a year. I’m assuming you’re drunk.
If you have anything valid, speak up. If you don’t, shut the fuck up.
You’re as bad as the baboons you hate so much.
January 17, 2013 at 6:05 pm
Franc–you have devolved, honestly.
Like I said many moons ago–I think you are running reverse PR for the whole lot of them. Where’s Waldo now??? You’ve gotta be kidding. IP posting? Really?
That reeks of them–lots of ass, and no common sense, mixed with a frothy substance that reeks of desperation, and virulent anger.
And I sure would love to see that IP. Franc, I would PAY you to see that map–I would pay you one whole year of web-hosting–hell, I will buy you your own server–if that is my IP.
And I would pay you to get a REAL IP logger, if for no other reason than that your host is at least fifty miles away from my winter palace (seriously–I can send you through my paypal, or a push-back from my POS system–or a credit card, or a money order, Webcash, or Bitcoins–this is a real offer, Franc).
Sure–that’s my IP, alright. Its on a map! We can look into it together– I will do the rest here locally–I will contact the listed IP host, and have the admin look into it for both of us. Then, of course, it would be on you to deal with whoever is actually at that IP, and on you to explain why you posted it and claimed it was someone else’s…you are smarter than that, Franc–this is thuh innernet!
But I remember the good ol’ days when you were taking an ethical stance, about how unethical it is for baboons to be hunting YOU down.
LMFAO. Devolution: “not just delegating to the rank and file in the hierarchy/new atheist order anymore.”
Yet, your criticism is taken: if I am as bad as the baboons, I prolly need to look myself in the mirror–that looooong look, and shape up, because when someone who writes as well as you do compares me to a bunch of ideologues, hypocrites, scandal engineers, and bitter misandrist social rejects, I need to shape up!
I need to excercise, and get ready to run when the purge comes down, like a jackboot on the anthill of my mind!
But not until after I finish this here bottle of Irish Cream Whiskey (cut with real whiskey, on the rocks…).
*SIGH* What’s trust got to do with it?
January 18, 2013 at 12:53 am
Basically, get real facts, not pseudo facts. And thanks for flushing yourself out. I have no interest in your 9/11 truther level factoids. At all. You do everyone a disservice pushing them. If you are so certain, have the balls to use them yourself. Or shut up. Stop trying to get others to do the dirty work for you. Very lame acting snooty when they don’t.
January 21, 2013 at 7:45 pm
re: factoids
Franc, don’t take this wrong–after all, you missed my original comment up there–but I think you drank the Kool-aid( and really, I am surprised that you are able to function after that draught, considering what those murderous morons and misandrists become after a shot).
There is a longstanding rule about arrogance, and conceit that holds ‘one should never quote oneself’–but seeing as how, here, you have your own vocabulary; and virtually everything you write is an iteration built upon a reiteration; and a nearly OCD-like obsession with small town liars, pathologial narcissists, false rape accusers, sado-masochist path narcs like PZ, and fat, unnattractive, intellectually dishonest internet scandal engineers (pick one), and so forth–it’s probably o.k. that I quote myself from above?
“Yup. O.K.
I looked in Google. ”
Yup, you got me! I Googled that information alright, after it came to me. So did you. And honestly, the person who sent it to an account that I check twice a year could well have been you(who else has-the skills to spoof e-mail? and 2–THAT old e-mail address was used by exactly two people–which is why, when I was called into this, I thought of you. Look how that turned out?
If that makes me snooty, well, I guess I join a club of about, um, 7,861,973 people who visit Google daily.
I am such a snob!
As regards dirty work–I have no dog in this fight–none. I don’t even blog about first world problems anymore. In fact, watching the transactional and predatory nature of atheists makes me long for a new religion!
Sure–we are all animals, but not all of us are predatory, feeding on others, nor are we as allied with the day to day time wasting mechanisms of narcissism expressed in sound bytes, and meme generator wisdom. Some of us have REAL jobs, and careers, and so forth…
Nothing to lose, Nothing to gain here. Being mathematically right is a good thing Franc, if you travel with mathematicians–but being right in the head is under-rated, especially if you sit in the nut bowl, arguing over whether or not a walnut has brain-structure. Which is why I build my fortresses elsewhere.
And the funniest thing of it all? They STILL keep coming! And eating the food I sell, buying clothes from my ‘liberal themed’ venues, and renting my properties! I don’t have to do a damn thing other than play on their trumped up, predatory political sentiments, and ring my cash register.
That’s the only kind of math I know–except the math that says: amongst so-called atheists, feminists have taken over(like buzzards on a carcass), and the real atheists do as we have always done: keep it to ourselves, and get ready to jump continents when the Bolsheviks come back around.
January 21, 2013 at 7:58 pm
I really don’t know what it is that you want. Nor am I going to go chasing shadows just because you expect me to. You have provided nothing other than Greg Laden style “evidence” – beyond worthless. You won’t even do something as rudimentary as a birthdate cross reference against the crap you have presented.
I am not interested, nor is Nectar. Pull your own weight – how about you do something with all of your amazing non-revelations?
You have offered nothing short of gibberish that collapses under even rudimentary scrutiny. Basically, fuck off and get a life.
January 21, 2013 at 11:04 pm
Ditto, P. If you have such valuable, urgent info, YOU use it. I notice your goal is that either Franc or I do it for you (doxxing Laden), which means you’re up to something sneaky and want us to do your dirty work. Also, why the fuck are you picking on Blu? No, don’t even answer. It would just be more of your convoluted paranoid talk.

Thaanks for this blog post
