HOW TO MAKE MONEY, LITERALLY: The Dreamhost blog has an amusing and easy-to-understand explanation of how commercial banks create money out of thin air. You must understand this to understand our current economic woes.

IRONLIGHT REPRINTS ARTICLES: I'm grateful that the Ironlight Web site has republished two more of my articles, Four Forces Pushing for War With Iran and The OKC Bombers (Yes, Plural). Ironlight, whose mottos are "Illumination in the Dark Age" and "To Dare is to Know," has an amazing collection of worthwhile articles and videos available.

ROMANIAN AUTHOR REPUBLISHES FREEDMAN PIECE: The Romanian expatriate and author Dan Culcer has just republished Benjamin Freedman's A Jewish Defector Warns America, along with my introduction. This was an article I was determined to rescue from the memory hole when I published it some 15 years ago, and I am delighted to see it taking on a life of its own in the (for the most part) still-free digital domain.

THANKS TO EU TIMES: My thanks go out to the European Union Times, which -- alone among important media outlets -- spoke out for justice throughout my travails, telling both sides of the story in their news reporting and calling for my release in editorials. They stated "Kevin Alfred Strom is innocent," saying of me that "he dedicated his life to fighting against pornography, child pornography, rape, murder... How could they even accuse him of such nonsense?" In another editorial they wrote: "Kevin Alfred Strom has a family and he has children... He dedicated his life to fighting against globalization, child porn, sex slavery, drugs..." and that the accusations against me were "inventions of severely damaged and evil brains."

POLITICAL PROSECUTION: At the urging of the Joint Terrorism Task Force, European-American activist and writer Kevin Alfred Strom is (wrongfully) convicted of possessing eight images of child pornography, based on the testimony of a perjurer who was having a relationship with the JTTF "investigating officer." Kevin Strom is sentenced to 23 months in prison, most of that in brutal solitary confinement. He is placed under supervision for 15 years. Contrast that with the case of Korean-American "youth leader" Timothy Han of Miracleland Korean Baptist Church, who was convicted of actually having sex with a child. Han was sentenced to 45 days in jail and 45 days in a work-release program.

GANDHI ARTICLE REPRINTED: My essay on the racial-nationalist views of Mahatma Gandhi has just been republished by Britain's Historical Review Press. It's quite an honor to be published alongside such luminaries as H.L. Mencken and Thomas Jefferson.

MY ART SITE RECOGNIZED: My online art gallery -- to which I've added quite a bit of content over the last month -- has been recognized as being in "impeccable taste" by Leslie H. Higgins, the paleoconservative operator of The Young and Once Good Pundit. Mr. Higgins nevertheless characterizes me as "problematic" and as a "right-winger," the latter being certainly untrue no matter what you think on the former count. But I don't mind. Taste, Art, and Beauty matter and will last as long as the race. The political labels of the moment, decade, or century do not and will not.

BENJAMIN FREEDMAN SPEECH REPUBLISHED: The Madrid-based Spanish-language site Qbitacora has an English-language annex which has just republished Benjamin H. Freedman's revelatory speech on Zionism, A Jewish Defector Warns America. Thanks to the folks at Qbit for spreading the word about Freedman's important work!

PERJURER EXPOSED AGAIN: Evidence is mounting that Elisha Strom, the woman whose perjured testimony and work with the so-called Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) caused false federal charges to be filed against me, had several inappropriate relationships with the local and "terrorism task force" officers she was at first working with -- and then turned against, causing her to be arrested for stalking them, harassing them, and interfering with them. Both she and the JTTF avoided a trial full of revelations of their respective characters when a plea agreement was struck in which she plead guilty to two counts of obstruction of justice.
•
ART GALLERY RECOGNIZED: The Spanish-language art blog Aquí gobierno yo has added my art gallery to its list of recommended art sites. It's quite an honor to be linked side-by-side with the Fitzwilliam Museum, the National Galleries of Scotland, and others.
