Center For Constitutional Rights - If An Agent Knocks: What To Do If You Or Your Organization Are Targeted By Federal Law Enforcement (2009)

Federal law enforcement agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have a dark history of targeting radical and progressive movements. Some of the dirty tricks they use against these movements include: the infiltration of organizations to discredit and disrupt their operations; campaigns of misinformation and false stories in the media; forgery of correspondence; fabrication of evidence; and the use of grand jury subpoenas to intimidate activists. Today’s activist must know and understand the threat posed by federal law enforcement agents and their tactics as well as several key security practices that offer the best protection.

Federal agents have many tools at their disposal to target activists. While it is important to know and understand these tools and tactics, it is of critical importance that you resist any paranoia of government surveillance or fear of infiltration, which will only serve to paralyze you or your organization in your quest for social change. If fear of government repression prevents you from organizing, the agents of repression will have won without even trying.

The Center for Constitutional Rights created If an Agent Knocks to provide advice to activists likely to be targeted by FBI agents or other federal investigators. Since its original release in 1989, If an Agent Knocks has been widely circulated in progressive activist communities across the country. This guide includes both the timeless advice included in the original version and extensive updates to reflect the current state of the law and law enforcement tools. This updated edition also includes a comprehensive discussion of today’s technology, including cell phones, e-mail and web browsing. This guide should be seen as a resource for the information needed to protect yourself and other activists from government investigation and to empower you to continue the struggle.

We have attempted to provide answers to a broad range of questions for the many scenarios that one can encounter as an activist. We hope individuals and groups use this pamphlet to develop and prepare practical responses – if an agent knocks at your door.

Disclaimer: This booklet is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. CCR aims to provide a general description of the legal and practical issues that progressive or radical activists might face. Each person’s circumstances are unique, and minor factual differences may result in very different answers to the questions presented here. For answers to specific legal problems, issues or questions, obtain the advice of a qualified attorney in your area.

James Webb - The Occult Underground (1974)

Introduction: The Flight From Reason

This contains the thesis statement and definitions of "private" terms I have outlined in my first post. It also contains hedges. Webb knows full well, for instance, that the "Age of Reason" had weird ideas and superstitions, and the "Age of the Irrational" had plenty of logic and scientolatry.

Chapter 1: The Necromancers

This describes the origins of mediumship and interest in spiritualism, including Spiritualism proper and the career of the famous/notorious Fox sisters, who invented table-rapping; the Swedenborg Church; and the Society of Psychical Research.

Chapter 2: Babel

This describes the interest, attractions, repulsions, and confusions in the West that resulted from exposure to Hinduism, Buddhism, and other high religions of the East. It examines the considerable role of oriental thought in western occultism; the origins of Baha'i; and the Parliament of Religions at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, where the interest and confusion were particularly evident.

Chapter 3: The Masters and the Messiah

This is concerned with the origins of Theosophy, a major force in 19th- and 20th-century occultism. It gives a delightful précis of the colorful (to say the least) career of Mme. H. P. Blavatsky, the founder of Theosophy, and of other Theosophical notables, such as Annie Besant (successor to Blavatsky), Rev. C. W. Leadbeater (famous for observations of auras and "thought-forms" ), Rudolf Steiner (one-time Theosophist and founder of the rival sect of Anthroposophy), and Krishnamurti (an Indian chosen as a child by Besant as the incarnation of Maitreya, the next Buddha, which position he later publicly renounced).

Chapter 4: The Lord's Anointed

This chapter describes the interactions between Christianity and occultism -- other than simple enmity. This includes the millenialist groups like the Millerites and their successors, Seventh-Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses; the Mormons; the Christian Scientists; a small Counter-Reformation Part II in extremist Anglo-Catholic circles; and the vision-laden, conspiracy-hunting, semi-Catholic sect of the French Vintrasians. Much of the American activity started up in the "burned-over region," an area of upper New York state once famous for traveling revivalists. Please note that most of these Christian "occultisms" do not entail spell-casting or seances. This illustrates Webb's wider use of the term "occult" as "rejected knowledge" -- in this case, rejected revelations or doctrines.

Chapter 5: Visions of Heaven and Hell

This chapter describes the role of occultism in the artistic community, focusing on "Bohemia" in late 19th-century Paris. This is a particularly juicy chapter, full of colorful characters. Webb divides the artists, particularly the authors, into two camps--aesthetes and poetes maudites ("accursed poets," their own phrase). Both reacted against the naturalism of Established art. Aesthetes searched for an ideal beauty beyond the limits of nature. Poetes maudites sought to plumb the depths of experience in their search for wisdom, and I do mean depths. (They produced scandalous novels about depravity, like "La Bas" by the Abbe Boullan.) One of the leading aesthetes was Josephin Peladan, who proclaimed himself "Sar Merodach," and a sort of archbishop of an order of Catholic mage-artists (founded by himself). Accursed poets include J. K. Huysmans and (I think) Baudelaire.

Chapter 6: Secret Traditions

This chapter is much more generally historical than the rest of the book. It examines the ancient sources that contributed to "the Tradition," by which Webb means the body of lore that occultists largely draw on. These include Neo-Platonism, Gnosticism, Hermetism, and the mystery religions. While not wanting to push the idea too far, Webb assigns Plato as the patron saint of the occultists, versus Aristotle as the patron saint of the Establishment intelligentsia. Stirring up and confusing this semi-coherent body of ancient lore is a large dollop of rejected science that started accumulating back in the 18th century.

Chapter 7: An Anatomy of Souls

This chapter examines the opening moves of the occult revival in the 19th century. It seems to start with the partition of Poland and the scattering of Polish refugees all over Europe. Some of these refugees appear to have been occultists, and brought the Traditions (as outlined in the previous chapter) to France, where French occultists had been subsisting on Mesmerism and second-hand Hinduism. The chapter also describes the career of Eliphas Levi, a founding father of modern occultism.

Chapter 8: The Spiritual in Politics

This follows closely on the theme of the previous chapter. The occultist accompaniment to liberal protests over the treatment of Poland went on amid grandiose political fevering about Poland being a "Christ-nation" crucified for the sins of other nations, and the second coming of Napoleon. Others put up France up as the "Christ-nation," crucified at Waterloo. Seers claimed that Louis XVII had not died as a child in the Terror, but (rather like Anastasia and Elvis) was still around; pretenders, of course, were plentiful and colorful. More immediately interesting, Webb claims that the Irish sense of national identity was *created* by W. B. Yeats, James Morgan Pryse, and other poetic occultists. He compares this to a less successful attempt to promote Scottish home rule.

Chapter 9: The Two Realities

In this summing-up chapter, Webb points out the natural affinity occultism has for other anti-Establishment and revolutionary movements. One such companion is that flavor of nationalism that sees the Nation as a metaphysical being greater and realer than the individuals in its population. Another natural ally is any ideology held with the force of a religion. The common denominator to all such things is an idealist temper, subordinating the material world to an immaterial scheme, whether that scheme be magical, biological, or social. This is a theme he enlarges on in the next book.

Ross Piper - Extinct Animals: An Encyclopedia of Species That Have Disappeared During Human History (2009)

Everyone is familiar with the dodo and the wooly mammoth, but how many people have heard of the scimitar cat and the Falkland Island fox? Extinct Animals portrays over 60 remarkable animals that have been lost forever during the relatively recent geological past. Each entry provides a concise discussion of the history of the animal—how and where it lived, and how it became extinct—as well as the scientific discovery and analysis of the creature. In addition, this work examines what led to extinction—from the role of cyclical swings in the Earth's climate to the spread of humans and their activities. Many scientists believe that we are in the middle of a mass extinction right now, caused by the human undermining of the earth's complex systems that support life. Understanding what caused the extinction of animals in the past may help us understand and prevent the extinction of species in the future.

Extinct Animals examines the biology and history of some of the most interesting creatures that have ever lived, including: The American Terror Bird, which probably became extinct over 1 million years ago, who were massive predators, some of which were almost 10 feet tall; the Rocky Mountain Locust, last seen in 1902, formed the most immense animal aggregations ever known, with swarms estimated to include over 10 trillion insects; the Giant Ground Sloth, which was as large as an elephant; and the Neandertals, the first Europeans, which co-existed with prehistoric Homo sapiens. Extinct Animals includes illustrations—many created for the work—that help the reader visualize the extinct creature, and each entry concludes with alist of resources for those who wish to do further research.

Ross Piper is an independent scholar. His life-long interest in natural history, especially animals, led to academia and he went on to gain a 1st class degree in Zoology from the University of Wales, Bangor and a PhD in entomology from the University of Leeds. Currently, he lives in Hertfordshire, England. This is his sixth book.
