Urgent message from Russian Federation,

If you support the ideas of child sexual exploration, free love, antifascism, and the basic mutual respect, please consider signing the petition against the new fascist law in Russia. Russian government has for a long time played with the ideas of homophobia and denying children the right for sexual development, but now they have finally gone as far as to pass the law criminalising any individual who provides pro‐LGBT material to any underage individual.

Please sign the following petition and forward this e‐mail to everybody who may be interested. It is essential that those in power get a clear message that anti‐sexuality and bigotry must be a thing of the past.

It does not matter if you are Anonymous in USA or a Buddhist in China, whether your sexuality is criminalised by “your” government or you speak out against crimes of ‘your” government, if you believe that the state has too much power or demand that it takes responsibility, whether you have been labeled antisemite for criticising Israel and islamophobe for criticising Islam or you are a muslim Jew and are experience hatered in your daily life; We all have something to say and many of us say that on the internet, this vast bastion of free speech and radical expression is now being threatened by the country, which goes around criticising everybody else for not opening up more to their cultural values. USA is trying to pass the bill which will kill the internet by forcing the sites where people communicate to police their users. This time they are not using “protect the children” rhetoric, today the name of the game is “stop the piracy”, but the rules stay the same, and the rules are goal-based, which means do whatever is needed to stop the freedom of speech, because it is so fucking inconvenient.

Please take a moment to sign the petition, but of course do not just sign it and pat yourself on the back as job well done. Petition is action, but not direct action. If we simply ask the government of the US to please stop oppressing the whole world, they just might be polite enough to let this one slide this time. However, if we organise in such a way as to disallow such a form of opression, then the government will have something to contend with, and eventually they will lose, because the government without the people following its orders cannot exist.

So here are some things that you can do personally to explore the world beyond what the state wants you to see:

• Look at Freenet, it is a censorship resistant network, where even the original publisher is unable to take down the content once it's published.
• Use free licences to distribute content that you have created. Check out SF.net for software and Wikimedia Commons for images, audio, and video.
• Support projects leaking the state and corporate crimes.
• Blog and podcast. Talk to the real people, try to use hosts like BayWords, LibSyn, NFSN, etc. Who support the freedom of speech. Echo of Freedom is run on LibSyn.
• Use alternative media to spread the news, don't rely on the mass media for that.

And please remember that the governments should be scared of their populations!
