Sen. Feinstein Says Anarchist Cookbook Should Be "Removed From the Internet"
schwit1 writes with this snippet from Ars Technica: In the wake of the Thursday arrest of two women accused of attempting to build a bomb, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) wrote on her website that the 1971 book on bomb making, which may have aided the terror suspects in some small way, should be "banned from the Internet."
The senator seems to fail to realize that not only has The Anarchist Cookbook been in print for decades (it's sold on Amazon!), but also has openly circulated online for nearly the same period of time. In short, removing it from the Internet would be impossible.

Should be removed from congress.
It has been removed from Dianne's Internet. Oh wait. She just logged into another machine. brb
Having to work for a living is the root of all evil.
yet holding a position of responsibility for it
so fucking stupid
The problem with slashdot is that most of its users were bullied and stuffed into lockers as kids!
I have one Steam coupon for 33% off something called Deathtrap. Anyone want it?
Says that Sen. Feinstein should be removed from the senate.
Not just the Anarchist Cookbook, but fucking swearing and pRon. Oh and not just that either, but people who post anonymously. Good luck with that.
Sincerely,
Anonymous Coward.
So what time is the book burning? I've got a whole library to go through. We'll have to hunt down that cloud so we can stab it with pitchforks, though.
is to ban Dianne Feinstein from Washington DC.
Seriously, this woman's answer to every problem is to ban something. Make gramma go away.
With the new net-neutrality rules and the FCC's new powers to declare things unlawful content, it's not nearly the ridiculous idea it may have been a few years ago.
She's also mentions Inspire Magazine.
Inspire used to be edited and mainly authored by Samir Khan Samir Khan was an American citizen, convicted of no crime; he was never even indicted. He was assassinated on orders of Barack Obama along with Anwar al-Awlaki in 2011.
So when these criminals like Feinstein talk about banning books, note they may also mean assassinating the authors.
Land of the Free, Home of the Brave.
"I am particularly struck that the alleged bombers made use of online bombmaking guides like the Anarchist Cookbook and Inspire Magazine. These documents are not, in my view, protected by the First Amendment and should be removed from the Internet.
It is notable that she did not say who should remove these from the internet, or how. I don't agree with the idea of censoring the material, but her statement is so incomplete that it is really hard to tell what she is trying to say.
I know that here on slashdot she generally has an approval rating roughly on par with smallpox, but she could be given a little more slack on this statement.
Damn_registrars has no butt-hole. Damn_registrars has no use for a butt-hole.
Don't you realize how obvious this kind of shilling is?
Can I suggest we hostfile her computer so just about anything goes to a Barney The Dinosaur archive page or something. She will be happy and so will we.
Setting aside how stupid this idea is, how stupid Feinstein is, and our first amendment rights: Most of the things in "The Anarchist Cookbook" simply do not work or have absolutely terrible methods. This is a book that tells you to dry gunpowder in a pot over an open flame. It also states that you can get high by smoking banana peels. It's utterly useless and there are plenty of resources out there if you want to learn how to make explosives. This is nothing but a publicity stunt, and a terrible one at that. I wonder if she realizes that most of us have the chemicals to make legitimate high explosives in our garages and bathrooms?
The Anarchists Cookbook is simply a very bad book. Not bad because of the motives of those reading (generally), but bad because much of the instructions given in there are bad, sometimes dangerously so...
Back when I was a kid, lets say "thinking" about playing around with this stuff, I quickly realized that things it were saying to do were really bad ideas. At the time I remember actually thinking it must have been put out by the CIA in an effort to thwart potential bombers, either by making devices that were as harmless as a bucket of water ranging up to self-selecting out of the gene pool very rapidly.
So out of concern for others, I have to say there are way better sources of info if you look around.
"unclear on the concept!"
Oh.
Wait.
I saw it on a shelf at "the anarchist bookstore" about 10 years ago.
... what the internet is in the first place. You can't stop ISIS from bragging about torturing people on the internet and this ignorant has been thinks she can ban a book from the internet?
Just speak when spoken to Feinstein.
Comments like hers are worse than that dumb comment about the internet being "tubes". That guy at least wasn't sitting there trying to hold a 21st century book burning.
You think we've come farther and every so often you're reminded that vast portions of society including many people sadly in the halls of power are no different from our ignorant, hateful, shit covered ancestors.
What a fucking disgrace. I can't wait until she's gone.
I've decided to stop wasting my time responding to AC trolls/sockpuppets... so if you want a response from me... login.
Hahahahaha hahahahaHAha ahahaha AHAha! Ha.
because you'll poke your eyes out with that shit. it's very dangerous
What IS the point of comments like that anyway?
I wonder how many copies of The Anarchist's Cookbook sold this week!
It is not hard to make dangerous things that go boom. Heck, some of the things that I blew up behind my garage when I was 13 would probably send me to Gitmo now. Believe it or not, that doesn't make me a terrorist.
Maybe it would be smarter to examine why people might want to make bombs and kill people, and work to make a world where people don't want to make bombs and kill people, even if the The Anarchist's Cookbook was on every coffee table in the world.
The War in Terror, just like the War on Drugs, will not be won simply by "just saying No". Until human motivations are examined, it will all be a horrendous waste of life, effort, and resources for no gain.

Are you still there and still being critical of her? you are probably a RACIST and/or a HOMOPHOBE!
RACIST! RACIST! HOMOPHOBE! HOMOPHOBE!
She's a Democrat, so the press will not grill her about anything (they covered for her in the last election cycle when she refused most interviews and all debates and never got ANY significant challenge from all the Democrats who run the press in CA). Her supporters just need to accuse any critic or questioner of being anti-woman, ant-gay or a racist and the press will follow that cue and her supporters will forgiver her for ANYTHING she does.
It's very possible according to congressional logic. Since we know the internet is a series of tubes, we just need to clog up the tube that this book is in. We just need to give the NSA more money and less scrutiny, they can probably find the right tube.
$10 in bitcoins to whomever stenographies the ACB into a pic of Feinstein and gets it to be the top hit on google images.
I would expect nothing less of a true politician. Whether it's the small town politician slapping down even more stop signs after an accident occurred, a school board politician enacting rule after rule that parents and students must jump through in order to protect the school board from litigation, or a senator talking about "removing" a 40+ year old book from the internet, they all have one thing in common: doing things for the sake of being seen doing things, as if they have solutions or actual control over things they do not. It's all about the image. Smoke and mirrors.

News at 11.
Given her predilection to ignore the bill of rights with respect to the 2nd amendment, why is anyone surprised when she also does so with the 1st amendment?
Or more generally, why is anyone surprised when a member of Congress is willing to ignore one right when it inconveniently runs counter to their political ideals, and then later does so with another right? Either a politician supports Constitutional rights or the don't, and when they don't what they allow you to keep is simply a happy coincidence. Until they change their mind, or are replaced with someone of more extreme or different political ideals who shows similar disregard for our rights.
Dianne and her husband have substantial financial interest and investment in Iran.
Getting a DEAL ... Any DEAL ... enriches them in billions of dollars annually ... and enslaves every other USA citizen to slavery to the new LORD ... Old LORD ... Persia.
I have words for US Reo, Her Majesty Der Mother Mrs. Dianne Feinstein ... THIS IS SPARTA!
It doesn't matter what she says or does she'll continue to get elected. Just like Nancy Pelosi who despite the fact she says and does things that make her supporters cringe will continue to return to congress.
I am not a USian. I am not familiar with your kind of politics
But I *am* curious
How come proven liars such as Pelosi and Feinstein keep on getting re-elected despite all the goddamn things that they have done?
Are the USian voters so damn stupid?
If learning to make makeshift firearms, explosives, traps, poisons, and other such things interests you, The Poor Man's James Bond is a better series of books. While I don't agree with taking the Anarchist's Cookbook away categorically, it is a pretty dangerous publication in that the instructions (particularly those dealing with explosives) are not very well written, leave out critical steps and safety information. They could potentially cause serious harm or death to the person trying to make them if they do the process like the author outlines.
Remember, this book was written by a pissed off kid during the Vietnam War. He wasn't an expert with practical hands-on experience. It was something he wrote by researching topics at the public library, and then kept submitting it to publishers until one accepted him.
BeauHD. Worst editor since kdawson.
Should be removed from congress.
She was reelected in 2012 with 62% of the vote. The only way she can lose is if the California Republican Party nominates someone sensible,
I am not a USian, I do not understand your politics, but I do read your Constitution and your Bill of Rights and none of the above documents mentioned the voters have to rely either on the Democrats or the Republicans to get things done
To my limited knowledge of the American politics, _any_ citizen of the United States of America who are not charged with crime can run for political office
So then, why are you guys relying on the Republicans to unseat the Democrat assholes?
You should be locked away for your own good.
Feinstein said:
not, in my view, protected by the First Amendment and should be removed
The first amendment says that the federal government may not violate freedom of speech. So saying "not protected by the first amendment " is saying "can be removed by the federal government ".
I think that's covered in fourth grade, so ...
> It is notable that she did not say who should remove these from the internet, or how.
She's either a) quite unfamiliar with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, or b) saying it should be removed by the federal government, which is her and her buddies. Either option is rather bad.
She says it's "not protected by the first amendment." The first amendment is "Congress shall make no law ..." So the first protects speech FROM CONGRESS. To say it "is not protected by the first amendment " is to say that Congress can ban it.
She then says it "should be removed ". You ask "by whom?" Considering that she just said Congress can do it, the only reasonable interpretation of "should" is that she means Congress should do so, possibly indirectly through a federal agency. That's scary only because Congress is HER, she's a senior member and she thinks that her colleagues and her should do this.
Politicians really live in their own little bubble worlds when 99% of the ignorant masses are more tech savvy than our own lawmakers. The words "out of touch" seem woefully inadequate to describe the kind of mind numbing ignorance that we've come to expect from our own politicians. What makes it even more depressing is that this doesn't even come remotely as a surprise.
If this doesn't make a case for term limits then I have no idea what would. Some of these people would be ill suited to even push a mop at a fast food chain. These career politicians NEED time in the real world.. and I don't mean some cushy consulting job. I mean real labor where you actually have to scratch a living under the policies they've created, without their "connections" or someone to pull strings for them. They're not of the people and they certainly aren't FOR the people. They're just (and it actually pains me to say this) COMPLETE AND UTTER DUMB ASSES!

We should get rid of teaching people how to read, this will help HUGELY with keeping the bad knowledge out.
Educational TV programs are the way to go, disseminate only goodthink.
She's an incumbent, which gives her a big advantage. Add to that the number of rabid "I'll never vote republican EVAR" folks in California, she's got enough that she'll never get voted out.
Only bright spot is she's currently the oldest serving senator. At some point probably reasonably soon, she'll have to leave because of age.
Is he was pretty accurate on the "fucktard" thing? :D
Seriously though, this is part of the reason she's undefeatable. If her supporters don't even know who she's running against, how can that person have any hope?
That term just about sums up what this is about. It's a press release, and y'know when you're a politician press releases are cheaper than talk, which may well turn out to be more expensive poltically if you misspoke or get the wrong cut of a sound bite. Press releases are easier to deny as the work of one of your staffers, which you can promptly fire as a sacrificial goat.
The comments in this thread are all made from a reasonable understanding of how the Internet works. Sen. Feinstein doesn't seem to share it. Ok, you can laugh about that once. But the contempt for her is beyond normal. It is at troll level. How much do her critics know about politics and running large public organizations? Next to nothing, I bet. And they have even less experience. In line with the season, let me say: think, before you throw the first stone
Seeing the world in a bad light, doesn't make you superior.

You have to be a "natural-born citizen", but no-one really knows what that means.
Not true, "natural-born citizen" is well understood. It means that you were a citizen of the United States of America at the time of your birth. There are various ways of being so born. Being born in the US is one. Being born to a US parent is another. So whether you are born in Canada, Mexico, Panama or Kenya does not matter so long as you have one or more US parents. Its really not that complicated at all.
" In short, removing it from the Internet would be impossible."
Not true. It would merely be "very difficult".
Finding a single actual THOUGHT inside the brain of Diane Feinstein; THAT would be impossible. That ancient bint has enriched herself stealing from the American treasury by persuading other government officials to overpay for her husband's corrupt thievery. She is the epitome of the self-serving crooked politician.
How come proven liars such as Pelosi and Feinstein keep on getting re-elected despite all the goddamn things that they have done? Are the USian voters so damn stupid?
Well stupidity certainly accounts for some of it. Some judge candidates based on how "well meaning" their intentions are. Being lawful, sensible, effective, etc don't count so much for this crowd.
However for the majority it is simply a matter of being for sale. Whoever offers more gets their votes.
The Democrats pretty much own these two camps.
Another camp would be those who judge candidates on a single philosophical opinion. Here the Republicans are competitive since there are many such philosophical opinions, some appealing to Democrats and some appealing to Republicans.
Don't tell her about Granddads Wonderful Book of Chemistry or The Poor Man's James Bond. The Anarchist's Cookbook is for children.
Who cares what that old rag has to say? Been around way too long; old beyond usefulness, out of touch, and kids today don't give a rats ass what disastrously bad, wrong, stupid ideas you're likely to find in that dusty old thing that won't probably work or will do more harm to anyone who follows that drivel than good!
Hey! I was talking about the Anarchist's Cookbook! I guess I could have been referring to DF. HEY! She IS the Anarchist's Cookbook!
Someone should tell her to call Babs about getting things removed from the Internet. She can set her straight I'm sure!
Maybe my post will get lost in the sea of replies, but oh well.
I want to see...
1. 12 year term limits for Congress. e.g., one senate term, three house terms. 14 years if appointed to fill a vacancy.
2. A requirement that all Congressional districts must be drawn square-like.
3. Open up vote-by-mail to everyone as this "going to the poll" thing probably isn't fair to the poor.
4. For presidential elections, the top six national vote-getters of the previous presidential election would have automatic ballot access in all 50 states. If someone runs as an independent, that individual gets ballot access if he or she pleases. Otherwise, it's by party.
5. Public campaign financing.
~10 years old. Wanted to make a large "Silvesterknaller" (small explosive for New Years).
Went to a public library and looked at a few old books, describing how to make black powder and other things that go boom.
Bought a few chemicals, build an electronic igniter and it went boom. It was too easy to achieve so I lost interest in blowing things up.
It's like the brouhaha about 3D printing guns. Every hardware store has better stock to make something that accelerates a projectile /FacePalm
Everyone who buys Wild Hunt will receive 16 specially prepared DLCs absolutely for free, regardless of platform.
Excellent. I'm glad to hear that. There are disproportionately fewer women building bombs today and it's high time that ceiling was eliminated.
In other news, I guess I have to take down ACB and ACB2 from my anonymous FTP... damn.
Like the candidato photos taken from celebrities should go too? I mean the ones that were not voluntarelly published. Good luck removing those ones from the internet.
Sen Feinstein also presented plans to deal with the Edward Snowden situation. In a stunning move, she came up with legislation that would make Edward's mother un-pregnant. Feinstein: "This is really simple. By forbidding Mrs Snowden to be pregnant, Edward does not exist, therefor the whole data leak issue is a thing of the past".
To Terminate, or not to Terminate, that's the question - SCSIROB
To understand her position you need to understand where she's coming from. She's probably one of the few politicians to have seen gun violence first hand. She was there when the SF Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk were assassinated. She grabbed Harvey Milk's wrist to check for a pulse and her finger entered one of Milk's bullet wounds and was badly shaken by the event.
Basing laws on the irrational emotional reactions of a PTSD sufferer is probably not the best way to go. And it certainly is no excuse for betrayal of the constitution and the deception and manipulation of voters.
It's sad to see just how much of a Republican Pelosi is. She is nearly the perfect Republican. She has so much. Republicans love hate. She hates women. Republicans hate women. She love for humans to die to support corporations. Republicans also love to see corporations to kill humans. Just think about how much she praised Union Carbide for killing so many Indians. She joked about it so many times. So many times. She hates Indians. She rejoiced when they died. She was also directly involved with killing more of us. She hates us and want us to die, just like the rest of her Republican kind. CONservatives like her kill so many of us every day. She and her CONservative kind control nearly every aspect of our lives.
The books that seem to be causing the most problems with violence are the religious ones, like the christianist bible, and the islamist koran.
Why can't the US regime look at banning these books instead, and banning corrupt politicians that take huge bribes from the armaments industry, and keep America's eternal wars, and destabilisation of the world brewing?
They constantly support Comcast and the Republicans. In this case, they are supporting Republican rapes. Pelosi sucks, but the moderators here attack anyone that dares stand-up to her.
she's an ignorant fool
Just tell him 'Yes', give it a week, then let him know that the internet people have agreed to remove it.
You look like you've done your job and if it pops up again, you can blame it on the internet people.
It is of prime importance that such information be widely available as a civil defense measure. In times of invasion, tyranny or wide spread criminality it is imperative that civilians have the means and knowledge to defend themselves.
Not only should this book be published, it should be accurate and expanded.
If anyone is worried about terrorism, then it is probably pertinent to ask, why someone would bomb you? I think you will find that they have a solid argument in favor of such action and that you, as a people, need to re-examine your behavior.
These are the people who make laws concerning things they have very obviously no clue about. They try to legislate something like the internet, which is possible, mind you, but you have to take its properties into account and define your laws accordingly.
But as long as we allow people to make such laws who repeatedly and blatantly display they are unfit to make such laws because they have no knowledge of the underlying problem in the first place, this will not improve. We will get useless, unexecutable and generally harebrained laws that are out of touch with the realities that govern the internet, laws that not only do not address the issue but also serve no purpose but alienating the people using it from those making the laws.
How should I trust a politician to make a sensible law in any other area where I cannot verify its usefulness? I don't know much about, say, agriculture. I cannot judge laws concerning this area. But I can judge laws concerning internet, IT security and related topics. And I can only say that I'm yet to see a sensible, useful, executable law that actually addresses the issue it is supposed to address.
So tell me, why should I trust these people to make any better decisions in areas where I cannot verify just how stupid their ideas are?
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.

Why is it that ANYONE puts up with this level of sheer incompetence. And yes, this is incompetence. We you fail to grasp this level of basic understanding of how information is shared across the internet, you fail to qualify for a job to control said information.
She's just not "old-fashioned" or "out of touch". She's an incompetent moron, for not even having the sense to be advised before opening her mouth on something like this.
Bibles of all kinds and creeds for their inherent violence, hate mongering, incitement, subversion and general skulduggery should be removed from the intertubes before any other less bothersome tomes.
I think the correct response to someone trying to make a bomb using a recipe found in The Anarchist Cookbook should be to stand back and let nature take its course.
See that "Preview" button?
the USA SHOULD HAVE OBEYED THE LAW
You should learn what the law allows the President to do.
We should also outlaw cancer!
Old chemistry university textbooks (even for beginners) contain everything you need to know about how to make explosives.
It may be less condensed (you actually may have to read 100 pages), and it may not be in the form of "mix a and b and cook on the oven at 200 degree", but I would not follow some simple recipe withou understanding every step anyway (i actually dont play with explosive chemistry at all, too many stupic kids blew off their fingers).
centered as the DPRK is "democratic" and controlled by the "people".

lose != loose
I had a copy of the AC when I was about twelve years old, back in the 80s. It was almost 20 years old *then*. And really, it is an incomplete and often inaccurate book that is pretty quaint by today's standards.
These idiots need to get the fuck out of office. And life.
After you're done with that, remove all copyrighted material from the internet. You go bro!
We'll make great pets
Educated people have ability and moral obligation to become political leaders, and yet we do nothing. There are many inexpensive ways to motivate people on Internet. 90% of public will go with whatever they see on Google, Facebook or Twitter and only 0.01% of talented individuals know how to make the information easily discoverable and understandable among all the noise on Internet. If smartest people refuse to work for Republicans and Democrats, the later will lose all ability to reach anyone under the age of 60.
There are a lot policy decisions that are dictated by simple facts and have little room for ideological debate. Global warming is either happening or it's not. Cutting taxes on the rich either stimulates economy or hurts it. Banning anarchist cookbook from Internet is either feasible or it isn't. Once we get all the nutcases out of office, we can start solving problems in areas where all reasonable debate has been settled long ago. And move on to issues where more intelligent debate is actually needed.
The naivity of some politicians is unbelievable. In that case one could have hardly made a better job in promoting the material. The call for a removal from the book must have multiplied its distribution. Its not only a complete lack of understanding how digital material is distributed today, it also shows a total lack of insight how media work. Its naive and even could be considered borderline stupid.
While I have to respect that she has an opinion and she does share it. This is one of the great things in the US is that we still can share our opinions right or wrong.
This is a very slippery slope that is just a really bad idea. Once we start "banning" things where does it stop? I realize there already is censorship in certain places even here in the US it is wrong and goes against our values and beliefs of our country.
I personally don't agree with her statement and it is a huge slap in the face of Americans and our beliefs.
this cunt has been a blight in politics from sf mayor onward.
... and common sense.
'Cause it would seem that the evil, un-American bitch has mad cow... :p
So where does that lead with the second amendment folks who say they have guns so that they can overthrow the United States of America if necessary?
It's a slippery slope and a bit hard to work out where to draw the line. The second amendment folks had better hope that whoever is drawing it decides that they are not a serious threat.
That's how these things happen.
For instance, the death penalty came back because of some clown in Washington.
The US Army Field Manual on improvised munitions has safer (for the budding terrorist), more practical recipes anyway.
No problem. I have my backup copy offline for safe storage. Far far away from Feinsteins meddling hands.
should be removed from the planet. zero tolerance for fascists.
of us: a cop would have read her statement and had her arrested for "consipriacy to violate civil rights" and she'd get plea-bargained into 10+ years in prison.
I assume that she was simply trying to placate her voters with rhetoric rather than actually seeking to ban a book. Frankly a normal education will tend to teach bright people how to build a pretty good bomb. A tiny knowledge of physics, chemistry or even eight grade level science will give a kid all he needs to build a bomb. For example science students are taught about dust explosions in grain elevators and how violent and dangerous they are. So any kid in middle school would tend to know that a bunch of dust in the air and a spark can create a violent explosion. Simply defining an explosion as rapid combustion clues students in. And teaching basic safety to kids such as using propane indoors without proper ventilation reveals the potential of using a building or room as a bomb. A trip to a hobby store and a look at model airplanes can teach a kid how to wire a simple remote control switch. By the time a kid gets to the tenth grade chemistry class the teacher has no choice but to teach how to avoid explosions in the lab. Naturally teaching how to avoid explosions in fact teaches just how to cause an explosion.
sheeeeit I still have a copy of anarchist cookbook 2000 somhwere on an old floppy disk. most of the recipes look like they were made up by edgy teenagers with no knowledge of physics or chemistry.
Snowden and Manning are heroes.
Senator, why don't you instead pressure BP to remove all of the oil they spilled in the Gulf ? Simple state that oil in the environment should be banned and it will magically fix itself. I'm sure that's how the legislature think the world works.

"In short, removing it from the Internet would be impossible."
Removing it from the internet is not the point, the point is increased laws to harass citizens for other things, once you start making these kind of rules. First they came for the Anarchist Cookbook and I said nothing, I am not an acarchist chef....
Plus grandstanding
From both the Senate as well as from the Internet! What an id10t! I used to like here, but I think she has lost her mind. Too bad "the right to be forgotten" doesn't work both ways!
They were arrested for bomb making? Is that illegal? I sort of thought at least America would allow that sort of thing.
Troll is not a replacement for I disagree.
Good thing i got my copy last century then.
lol, someone forgot to post as AC...
What a surprise. They always afraid of an open discussion.
Dianne, you ignorant bitch, READ THE GODDAMN CONSTITUTION SOME DAY!!!
oh let's all get over the caps filter it's really stupid because sometimes like you really gotta yell to get across to ignorant or willfully stupid people that the first amendment to that part of the constitution called the "bill of rights" specifically says the government has no right to be demanding people take down anything from the internet, or a library, or anywhere else, and that there are some things for which the cure is far worse than the disease, which is especially true for nearly everything liberals are trying to do...
Sen. Feinstein Says Anarchist Cookbook Should Be "Removed From the Internet"
And Senator Feinstein is a Progressive and wannabe Totalitarian. Next.
There are over 8,000Km of America (how many miles would that be?) South of your border. The name "United States of America" means that, among the existing States in America, some decided to unite and become a nation — but that nation does not necessarily span all of America.
What she means to say, and what is probably what she is driving at, is: "We should be free to arrest and incarcerate you for reading this material"
but I don't see any calls to ban anything from the Internet in her statement.

Perhaps diverting all the tubes to a central tank, and then fishing out the offending book. I dunno, I'm just sptiballin' here, just hire some asian guy to do it.
Hello! Thank you for your article. I’d like to try to compare it to my previous experience of learning English lessons through Skype on online classes for free. I did around 10 conversations over Skype with a native speaker from http://preply.com/en/english-b.... And I was pretty satisfied with their Quality. I think they have a strong teaching quality.Following their course curriculum now I can speak English like a native , but I Want to try another option.
At least I hope she is.
BTW, as a Kalifornian, I've been long aware that although she is a Democrat, she is also a wealthy aristocrat. Furthermore, her political life goes back before the current situation Poltical Parties were aligned with political ideology. Historically the 'Pubs and Dems were defined by historical alliances, not ideology. And yes, I am asserting there is neither party is Liberal, let alone leftist these days. Feinstein is more loyal to wealth and aristocracy than to Democrats, Liberals, or The Law.
PS. I believe in The Rights of the Individual by Limiting the Power of Government (power corrupts), Free Markets, and The Rule of Law. That makes me a Classical Liberal. Search for Classical Liberal on Wikipedia for more info. Free Markets? Never existed.
The right honourable Sen. Feinstein hates everybody because she was the wallflower in high school that never got asked to dance. She needs at least two orifices sewn shut!!! Our republic is doomed if we continue to countenance these totally sefl absorbed psychopaths in the halls of power.
Your quote is wrong.
She said. "But we have to pass the bill so that YOU can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy. "
Far from being a moronic statement, Pelosi condescends to tell us we don't need to know what's in the bill until AFTER the it is passed.
If they told us what's in it, people might find out how they would get screwed. Then there is more risk it might not pass.
Consider how many storefronts are turning into "Urgent Care" run by nurses who write prescriptions for drugs. Ostensibly, people skilled at running pawn shops, check cashing stores and payday loan stores wrote Pelosi's bill to break into the Health Care business.
If some humorous bureaucrat is going to say I shouldn't have a copy, it forced me to go get one and read it.
... "When you pry the source from my cold dead hands."
DiFi is one of the biggest goofs in Congress. And Senatorette BabBo (CA also) is not far behind.
To understand her position you need to understand where she's coming from. She's probably one of the few politicians to have seen gun violence first hand. She was there when the SF Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk were assassinated. She grabbed Harvey Milk's wrist to check for a pulse and her finger entered one of Milk's bullet wounds and was badly shaken by the event.
Basing laws on the irrational emotional reactions of a PTSD sufferer is probably not the best way to go. And it certainly is no excuse for betrayal of the constitution and the deception and manipulation of voters.
As President Truman once said: "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."
Happy Easter Sen. Dianne Feinstein. You are now a communist!
It's called thought control. In America, we have freedom of speech.
Have you considered moving to China? Their government thinks just
like you do.
Reading this story is motivating enough to download another copy of the book on GP...
Did I just wake up in the 90's? Holy crap wait till she finds out about 4 chan in 10 years.
Sen Feinstein's call to ban the internet cookbook is a perfect example of what politicians do best. Pretend to do something about a problem, knowing full well it's a worthless gesture but one likely to convince the people you're working for them. And, let no one argue that Sen Feinstein is not a consummate politician.
In case you are not just pretending to be incredibly ignorant of recent history and it really did slip you by, the infamously corrupt senator from Nevada, although that doesn't narrow it down much either if you didn't have the name.
One of the many fuckups caused by that Senator dabbling in the intelligence community, sometimes for personal gain, was supplying millions of dollars worth of weapons to a prominent Afgan Warlord who later fought against the US on the side of the Taliban - thus a textbook case of "the enemy of my enemy many also be my enemy".

I am USian and man- I don't understand it either. Everyone in politics is a crook. I know that's a generic blanket statement but damn. It's to a point where to the rest of the world, we have to look absolutely ridiculous.
Ban them.
Burn them.
It's for the Children.
Start with the Constitution First!
Can't we just read and learn from history?
Oh wait, those books were banned last year.
I think its safe to say that there are a million other things that "should" probably be removed from the internet. Child porn, snuff videos, Rick Astley. Anyone remember that pain olmypics garbage that was all over the place mid 2000's, I'm fairly sure that craps still floating around. But the general concession from society is that just ain't gonna happen. But a book from the 70's that at this point is so out of date you could get better directions from a life hacks article, this is your line in the sand Sen. Feinstein? How bout this, why don't you choke to death on a big floppy dildo, film it, and then have your estate put it on the internet for all the weirdos to get off to with all the other smut and garbage floating around clogging up server banks all over the net. In exchange everyone in the world will agree to whipe out every existing copy of the Anarchist Cookbook. Way I see it that is a fair give and take.
I was issued that FM when I was stationed in Ft Benning. She probably drives with two handed steering wheel death grip, doing the minimum speed on the freeway too. Unless she is in the limo with her armed driver and armed co-driver.
