In reply to the discussion: Senator (Feinstein) calls for The Anarchist Cookbook to be 'removed from the Internet' [View all]A Round Tuit
(88 posts)19. Re: Thank you
The only one I have found on the internet is a 2000 copy
I would heartily recommend that you not try any of the "recipes" in that copy.
As far as that goes, I would not recommend any out of the original copy.
It is well known that disinformation was deliberately put into the book, even the original and any copy you find now has not only been heavily redacted, but downright altered, to the point of dangerous.
There are no books banned from private possession in the US, that I am aware of.
There may be some crap put out by nitwits that profess to know how to build an atom bomb or some such silliness, but even that is not "banned". Hard to get hold of, but not "banned", per se.
And of course, there are the bible-thumpers that have "banned" so-called pornographic books, etc, but I submit that there is nothing that has been put into the general circulation that is not available and legal to possess...unless it has been classified by competent authority as a threat to National Security.

OP
DiFi also backs some cockamamie proposal to certify who is and is not a 'real journalist,' the idea

I oppose the idea, but if enacted, there goes most of Fox, assuming the criteria are reasonable.

The Anarchist's Cookbook exists because of people's attempts to silence dissent.

You could get it through mail-order off Loompanics catalog over 20 years ago.

All Senator Feinstein accomplished was to call attention to the Anarchist Cookbook.

Us oldies don't understand how the internet works. You mean delete doesn't make it go away?

To not be considered protected speech, it has to be inciting imminent lawless action.
