I have a new viewpoint article due to appear at Press TV soon, but in the meantime, I would like to congratulate Robert\u00a0Wei on being added to our club of writers and pressure groups called the Mont Order<\/a>. Robert\u00a0made a post accepting membership<\/a> in the association, and I would like to take this opportunity to strongly recommend his blog to my readers. The blog is The Flutter of my Sleeve<\/a>, and includes\u00a0excellent political and social criticism.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From the blog:<\/p>\n

It is my honour to announce that I have been invited and accepted into the Mont Order which is a varied and eclectic mix of writers and thinkers who have banded together in the interests of addressing the issues present in our lives and that are present in the world currently in the interest of the best of all possible futures.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We are\u00a0happy to welcome Robert’s\u00a0blog into the online family and network of the Mont Order alongside such collaborators as the WAVE movement and social\u00a0critics\u00a0such as J. M. Porup, and I look forward to reinforcing Robert’s\u00a0work and drawing attention to his posts in future.<\/p>\n

On the subject of the Mont Order, I will be publishing J. M. Porup’s criticisms\u00a0of anarchism at ClubOfINFO soon, and I will come back to that exchange of ideas. Until then, I continue to recommend his work as required reading for critics of the NSA and the surveillance state.<\/p>\n
