    CODE IS FREE SPEECH

    ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. WE HERE AT GLIBERTARIANS ARE FULLY DEVOTED DEFENDERS OF THE RIGHT TO SAY, THINK, WRITE AND PUBLISH ANYTHING WITHOUT GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE OR PRIOR RESTRAINT. RECENTLY, WE CELEBRATED WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS A BIG WIN FOR THE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH IN AMERICA. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT VOLUNTARILY SETTLED A LAWSUIT WITH DEFENSE DISTRIBUTED AND CODY WILSON, REGARDING THE PUBLICATION OF SPECIFICATIONS FOR MANUFACTURING HANDGUNS ON VARIOUS TYPES OF COMPUTER CONTROLLED MACHINERY AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. TODAY, AUGUST 1ST, WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE DAY THAT ALL OF THESE FILES WERE ONCE AGAIN AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. HOWEVER, VARIOUS STATES AND LOCALITIES HAVE HAD FEDERAL JUDGES ENJOIN THIS BY EMERGENCY ORDER. WE DO NOT SUPPORT ANY SUCH RESTRICTIONS. IT IS THE CASE TODAY THAT PEOPLE PROHIBITED FROM POSSESSING A GUN BREAK THE LAW IN ORDER TO POSSESS A GUN. THEY CAN GO TO YOUTUBE RIGHT NOW AND WATCH “HOW TO” VIDEOS OF PEOPLE BUILDING GUNS WITH A DRILL PRESS, A HAMMER, AND AN ANVIL.

    IN SUPPORT OF DEFENSE DISTRIBUTED’S NOBLE WORK OF EMPOWERING CITIZENS TO BUILD AND POSSESS THE TOOLS TO FIGHT AGAINST UNJUST FORCE, OF ANY TYPE, WE PROUDLY FEATURE THIS LINK TO THE FILES. ZARDOZ BRINGS YOU THE GIFT OF THE GUN! CLICK HERE TO GET THEM FROM ANĀ  END TO END ENCRYPTED SITE.

    THIS ACT IS PART OF THE REASON GLIBERTARIANS WAS CREATED, AND IS STILL HERE.

    ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.

     

  • Hot Take: LA Judge Defies First Amendment

    In a major “oopsie,” a sealed plea agreement in a police corruption case was posted publicly. So judges being what judges are (convinced that they have royalty status and don’t really have to follow the constitution), the judge here defied the First Amendment and ordered that the LA Times remove all references to the secret plea agreement. The LA Times complied with the order but is appealing it. I’m somewhat surprised that they didn’t issue the equivalent of “Fuck off, slaver!” and challenge the judge to do something about it. But they caved for the moment.

    Of course, the judge either doesn’t know or doesn’t care that the Internet is a forever thing. And we have no scruples about giving that slaver the finger. So here’s the story as it originally ran, complete with the several added details that the judge thinks are FYTW exceptions to the First Amendment.
