Great organization, met Coolidge I think in Utah, not quite remembering. 
People don't realize that the thin several-millimeter crust of the 
'desert' is an integral part of the biome; footprints destroy everything. 
You have to be tuned to these things - everything reverberates, resonates 
across and through organisms, minerals, etc. -

Hei Alan -


Where are you located exactly? I'm interested in the intrusions you talk
about.


I'm based in Prescott, Arizona, a small town at 6000' in the central 
highlands
of the state. Politically it's conservative (very!), there are a lot of 
veterans
here as there is a VA hospital, lots of conservative retirees. Few 
minorities. But, easy access to the Grand Canyon and many other more subtle 
but very classic western landscapes and ecosystems.


One of the reasons I became disillusioned with Baudrillard had to do with 
his

 take on the American wilderness, as if the wild, instead of the grace of
life-forms in somewhat balance, was just lawless -


I don't know, but I suspect that Baudrillard never walked (alone) in these
landscapes or spent much time, had no familiarity with them, their wide 
variations, rich organismic life (despite the massive human interruptions! 
and quite exotic ('empty' upon first look)...


I'd point to the Center for Land Use Interpretation (http://clui.org) for 
some absolutely superb research and creative work surrounding the military 
use of western land (among some other fine research interests). Matt 
Coolidge, one of the principles there has on-the-ground experience around 
this, along with the histories.


I did a residency with them in Wendover, UT/NV a few years back, in their 
compound that sits 50 yards from the Enola Gay hangar at the former Army 
Airbase right on the Bonneville Salt Flat ... (documentation 
http://tinyurl.com/krnj8ru) -- from that location within, say, 300 miles, 
there are huge numbers of 'secret' military-industrial installations 
including the new NSA data center, nerve-agent research/testing facilities, 
and on and on...


It's a strange phenomena, the proliferation of sites starting in WWII and 
continuing extensively into the Cold War, Space Race, nuclear weapon 
development, and on and on.


so it goes...

Hi Dave,
I wasn't aware that Steven Wright was arrested, just that his home was
raided. What I found interesting about that is that the raid seems to in
response to his position that cryptocurrency should be treated as a proper
currency for tax purposes, rather than as a taxable intangible asset.
Cheers,

Re: [NetBehaviour] Bitcoin arrest Australia

[dave miller]

Even if he is the inventor of Bitcoin, actually raiding his home is
shocking.

It's not as though Bitcoin itself is something evil, it's another networked
technology, and raiding the home of the inventor is weird. Could you
imagine Tim Berners Lee's home being raided because of the content of
websites? Or Edison's house because his light bulbs illuminated criminals
houses?

Maybe there's something else about Steve Wright we don't hear about?

Or maybe it's about what Bitcoin represents? Perhaps the banks &
governments fear the rise of Bitcoin so much, that they intend to demonise/
outlaw it?
