Number 660, March 4, 2012
The government has spent the last twenty
years setting everything in place so it
can denounce any member of the Productive
Class as a "terrorist" and act acordingly.

[BarnesAndNoble.com dead tree and Nook]
The unabridged audio version of my 1983 novel The Nagasaki Vector, brilliantly read by the great libertarian radio host Brian Wilson, is finally available for purchase.

Many feel that this is the funniest book I've written so far—at least intentionally—and features our old friend Win Bear, G. Howell Nahuatl, a sapient coyote, time traveler Bernie Gruenblum, and Georgie, the time machine who loves him.

The price: $12.99.
The place: CD Baby.

I understand that it will soon be available in iTunes, as well.

THE CURRENT ISSUE

EDITORIAL MATTERS:

A NOTE FROM L. NEIL SMITH

For some peculiar reason, my first and therefore oldest (and some say most dangerous) novel, The Probability Broach, which has been in print for nearly 33 years, is still not available in Kindle or other electronic formats. I've asked my contact at TOR Books (the current rights holder) about this several times and have never received an answer that satisfied me.

Perhaps they think it's my most dangerous novel, as well.

Of all those who have enjoyed The Probability Broach in the past, or would like to in the future, I would ask a favor. Go to Amazon.com (find the exact below) and click on the area that says, "Tell the Publisher! I'd like to read this book on Kindle".

Amazon.com

Perhaps if enough people do this, I'll be able to read my own first novel on Kindle. And so will you.

Thanks very much

I've been too busy for a while to pay much attention to the news. When I do, it's just the same old garbage, cycled and recycled, and rerecycled.

Flash Editorials March 3, 2012
by Russell D. Longcore
The Nation I: Andrew Breitbart, the blogger that exposed Anthony Weiner for his sexual indiscretions, and became a high profile, Drudge-like alternative news figure, made a speech about three weeks ago at the CPAC convention that he would release footage about Barack Obama's connections to Marxists Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dorn on March 1st that threatened to derail the Obama re-election. But late Wednesday night the 29th, he spent time in a bar near his home with friends, and then about 11:30, left the bar alone to walk home. On his way, he allegedly had a heart attack and died at age 43. This death is far too coincidental to be accepted at face value. We wonder if Andrew entrusted that video to others who will now release it? Julian Assange of Wikileaks, call your office.

An Open Letter to a Banker
by Jim Davidson
No doubt you've gotten back into the groove of the work you do for BigBank. Needless to say, I've no idea what you folks really do. What the public seems to imagine, judging by what I've seen on various sites and forums, is that BigBank and the other big banking cartel operations finance wars and prisons, foreclose on homes they don't have good title to, and spread misery far and wide. They do these things because they get a licence to print money from the government, generating many loan dollars for every dollar on deposit, playing games with the accounting, and screwing over everyone else with high fees and "adjustable rate" interest.
