Box 52 or 35 Oxley St., Berrima, NSW 2577, Australia, e-mail: jzube@acenet.com.au Tel. (02) 48 771 436. No FAX! Website: www.acenet.com.au/~jzube LMP's website offers a 2,000 pages (almost 5 Mbs) guide to the PEACE PLANS issues that LMP has produced since 1977, containing, on about 500,000 pages, libertarian and anarchist books, pamphlets, magazines, newsletters, dissertations, bibliographies, directories, indexes, essays & articles, letter, review & leaflet collections, etc., with an average of over 300 pages per microfiche: $ 1 cash each, post-free for orders of at least 10, or 2 International Reply Coupons or $ 2 other non-cash, with small cheques not accepted. Has any other individual published more freedom texts, more cheaply, in any medium? Probably Dr. David Hart has, recently, when he published, before he heard about my CD-ROM initiative, 4 CD-ROMs containing classical liberal writings and he has over 2 Gbs in readiness for further such issues. Anyone else? A supplementary LMP list for Peace Plans 1546-1620 can be found on: http://www.butterbach.net 1743 Peace Plans issues by March 2002. 1768 by June 02. ============================================================================ == Dear Jon, How could I forget another monetary freedom advocate like you, his collection and hostpitality? I thought of you only yesterday and expected that you had changed your address once again. It was about 12 years ago. I have been "discovering" or utilizing the IN now for several years and am still discovering much it in - and also missing much in it. And at present I am afraid to search much on it, because of the virus threat - apart from lack of time for it and a large backlog of stuff I downloaded almost 2 years ago and have still not perused and partly utilized. Via e-mail I get presently 1-3 virus attacks a day, as a rule and they can hide in websites, too. Luckily, my service provider checks my e-mail in and out, with two different programs, updated every 2 hours. It takes me sometimes many weeks to update my Norton Virus scanner once again - and I search only once have done that again. Look into my second website, for the supplementary list to PP 1620 as well. Presently, I am compiling the lists to PP 1768 and will have to find a placement for them and for a combined list. Some of the early PP I have scanned in, including the 3 books by Beckerath, and my German Peace Manuscript, fiched in PP 399-401, with much on monetary Freedom. (The English translation on paper, fiched in PP 61-63, is still hiding from me. Moreover, my scanning program (Omnipage Pro, 10) broke down again and has not yet been replaced or patched up. By the time I have one working, I hope to have found that paper original. I wish I were some sort of computer experts rather than mainly only word processor user. David Hart is into online publishing now for Liberty Press - and he is lucky enough to get his scanning done professionally, by others, who also pay for them for their labours and him for his editorial work. - He is, to my knowledge, still the only libertarian who managed to fill 4 CD-ROMs (at low density) with libertarian material (mainly French classical liberalism) and had accumulated a further 2 Gbs. for this purpose. THOMAS GRECO has another monetary freedom book out and is preparing a monetary freedom website. He will probably scan in Greene's Mutual Banking. Some of my scanning efforts so far, available in small batches via e-mail, until I can mange to offer them and more on a CD-ROM. ============= PP1to20RTF Berrima, 14 January 2002 PEACE PLANS 1-20,1964-1977, now available as RTF or TEXT e-mail attachments to anyone interested, upon request, in small batches, no charge - until I can offer them cheaply on a CD-ROM, together which much other libertarian material: PP 1 - 104 Kbs, 18 pages, 1964 - All are still available on microfiche, PP 2 - 150 Kbs 22 " US $ 1 each - no cheques! PP 3 - 131 Kbs 42 " (PP 1 & 2 are re-fiched on 1 fiche:$1!) PP 4 - 129 Kbs 54 " Individual Rights Draft & Panarchy PP 5 - 184 Kbs 67 " Concentrates on libertarian land reform PP 6 - 163 Kbs 62 " PP 7 - 263 Kbs 90 " PP 8 - 440 Kbs 89 " PP 9 - 531 Kbs First of 3 monetary freedom books by U. v.Beckerath PP 10 - 512 Kbs Second " - total 322pp,indexed,with other FB essays. PP 11 - 609 Kbs Third " PP 12 - 645 Kbs 107 pages - with index to PP 1-8 & 12, plans 196 - 225. PP 13 - 529 Kbs 91 "(Liberation at Work,Capitalist Prisons,Tax Strike) PP 14 - 482 Kbs 90 "(Education, Vol.Tax.,Free Migration, Panarchism) PP 15 - 430 Kbs 89 "(Brocmen,Referendum,"d"emocracy,Crime, Abortion, Children etc.) PP 16/8 -1,197 Kbs 264 "(John Zube: An ABC Against Nuclear War) PP 19 C -1,051 Kbs 44+" (John Zube: Let Freedom Pay Its Way, ,2nd ed.) PP 20 - 496 Kbs 164 " (J. & D. Zube: An Ideal Market for Freedom Ideas) TOTAL: 7.84 Mbs from over 1450 pages, which it took me 13 years to produce. Since then about 70 issues p.a., average 300+ pages - but only on microfiche! Note that PEACE PLANS 19 A & B, on monetary freedom, are already available in the appendix on my main website: www.acenet.com.au/~jzube - Literature List up to PEACE PLANS 1545. Please note also that the above listed Mbs are among my contributions towards one or several libertarian CD-ROMs that either I or others will come to compile. You may include them or any segment on your website. Anyone may also freely reproduce the nearly 5 Mbs of my main website and the supplementary list for PEACE PLANS 1546 - 1620 that is available on the www.butterbach.net (Size?) I do intend to continue my LIBERTARIAN MICROFICHE PUBLISHING until I have reached PEACE PLANS (PP) No. 2,000. But do not expect me to scan-in all of its ca. 500,000 pages. Latest: PP No.: 1725. The microfilming of pages is still much more accurate, is automated and computerized and much easier and time-saving for me, even through a commercial micrographic agency, than is scanning and proof-reading. My conversion from duplicating and offset printing the above early PEACE PLANS issues to microfiching the following helped me to increase my annual page output about 189 times! Have you become 189 times as productive through your computer usage? Apart from copyrights restrictions, to the extent that they can be successfully imposed upon us or are supported by you, you are invited to scan-in all those libertarian texts that you do like and that are accessible to you and to offer them e.g. on microfiche, on floppy disks, on CD-ROMs, via e-mail or on websites. If all active libertarians did the whole job of permanent and cheap libertarian publishing, tackling e.g., the whole backlog of out of print and unpublished libertarian writings, in a division of labor scheme, in loose collaboration, just to avoid the duplication of efforts and to announce all of them, then each participant would not have to do much of this chore and spend much time, money and energy on it. Perhaps as few as 300 CD-ROMs or at least CVDs could already reproduce all libertarian writings and 10 CD-ROMs might already contain a life-time's libertarian reading! How many libertarian Mbs do you have to offer for the first libertarian CD-ROM issues? How many do you offer on the Internet? PIOT, John Zube LIBERTARIAN MICROFICHE PUBLISHING www.acenet.com.au/~jzube P.O. Box 52 Berrima, NSW 2577, Australia, Tel.: (02) 48771436 - No Fax! ====================== I do intend to scan in much more but certainly not everything. With proof reading, at least for some flawed texts, it goes slower than keyboarding! Some of the texts in the latest free banking compilation, in PP 1745-1748 may interest you and many of them you can find on the Internet: It was automatically converted from Word 97 to txt and thus lost much of its format. Since Outlook Express is frequently subject to virus attacks, I rather append in as text than attach it as Word or RTF. ====================== PP174548cover MARCH 2002 ISBN 0816-9004 PEACE PLANS No. 1745 & 1748 Four Microfiche on Monetary Freedom CONTENTS 1.

To monetize the local ready for sale potential for turnover credits and wage- and salary payments is more important than to electronically internationalize some badly conceived exchange media and value standards. Moreover, this kind of non-electronic cash, too, can be harder to trace for governments than can be online-payments. Governments can and will spend millions to decode "secret" online payments. And successful local currencies can be electronically dealt with as well - by and for those who consider this to be worthwhile. - J.Z. 100.

This can be done differently for different countries. For the most advanced countries, however, the following will be rather generally applied: ... 5.) Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly. B) From: Wage Labor & Capital, by Karl Marks, Reclam, Leipzig, Demands of the KPD: Point 10: A State bank takes the place of all private banks. Its paper has legal tender. - This measure makes it possible to regulate credit affairs in the interest of the whole people and, thereby, undermines the Rule of the great financiers. By gradually replacing gold and silver by paper money it cheapens the essential instrument of bourgeois exchange, the general means of exchange and permits gold and silver to be used externally. This measure is required to bind the interests of the conservative bourgeois to the government. - The Committee, Karl Marx, Karl Schapper, H. Bauer, F. Engels, J. Moll, W. Wolff." 130.

One misses out on so much in the usual incomplete and labyrinthic offers and overviews. It could and should be combined with the efforts to establish a) a libertarian encyclopedia, b) complete libertarian publishing and library services, using ALL affordable and efficient alternative media, not only the Internet or print or microfilm or e-mail or websites ONLY. - J.Z., 16.5.02. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________ ============================================================================ ==== CDROM628words LIBERTARIAN CD-ROM PUBLISHING & LIBERTARIAN LIBRARY WHAT? Complete libertarian publishing library & information services for all freedom texts not yet cheaply, permanently & easily accessible in any medium, supplementing & listing all of freedom texts etc. offered in all media, or cheaply combining them, with permission, if required. BY WHAT MEANS? CD-ROMs, zipped, later CVDs, then still better disks, until all freedom texts can be found on the Internet & large & multiple websites are easy, fast & cheap enough to set up, maintain & download A public & growing list indicating all interested & inviting independent collaboration or competition. CD-ROM disks, drives & burners are already wide-spread & cheap. CD-ROMs are commercially pressed for as little as 50 cents. Each can contain, zipped, 200 to 2,000 book titles. A lifetime's freedom reading on a mere 10 CD-ROMs! A complete freedom library on perhaps no more than 300 CD-ROMs! Filling them will not only require extensive downloading & e-mailing of already digitized texts but also extensive digitizing, mainly as a labour of love. Luckily, scanners have become cheap & efficient & division of labour for large jobs is an ancient invention. WHO? Anyone interested in contributing libertarian Mbs, keyboarding, scanning, proof-reading, editing & computer skills & copyrights permissions. CD-ROMs, like microfiche & floppies, are essentially self-help media but do mostly need collaborators to fill them. With cheap, lasting, powerful & efficient alternative media anyone can be a publisher, editor & compiler. HOW? By keyboarding, scanning, downloading, alone or in association with others. Sending Kbs & Mbs on floppies, partly filled CD-ROMs or via e-mail - to the compilers of CD-ROMs. By dividing the chores of e.g. digitizing whole books into manageable portions between those who like a particular book. By collaborating with & publicizing all who have already taken steps in this direction. See the slowly growing list of interested people. WHY? Because it is possible now, affordable, & achievable by enough interested people. We could use all our resources at our fingertips. We have never had them yet. On CD-ROMs they could be made cheaply & conveniently accessible & linked to current websites. In combination they could be rather useful. Sufficient knowledge could give us considerable influence. Climbing the mountains of liberty knowledge would not only provide us with a great view but also realistic blueprints, the best programs, strategies, tactics, advice, refutations & references. Remaining disagreements would come closer to being settled. All valuable ideas, discoveries, talents & opportunities could be brought to light & made widely accessible. The Internet can do much but not yet everything or optimally. WHEN? As soon as the growing list of interested people contains enough libertarian Mbs to fill the first libertarian & cooperatively compiled CD-ROM. PRECEDENTS, DEMONSTRATIONS, EXAMPLES: Few will be as productive with this medium as Dr. David Hart has already been, who produced 4 CD-ROMs on his own, mainly on classical French Liberalism. Compare Encyclopaedia Britannica & The Library of the Future, each on one CD-ROM. The latter contains over 5,000 titles, not all book-sized, but includes some freedom texts. There are thousands of music, games & software CD-ROMs. It's high time for more libertarians to use of this freedom of expression & information opportunity, at least for freedom texts not yet otherwise available.

Please let me know as I'd be happy to pay. ============================================== John: It is still far from being great and has many flaws and omissions and all too few cross references. You can't, at least not yet and it will take me years to greatly expand the number of scanned texts. You would be much better off scanning them in yourself, and amending them, when required by you, in the process. Or haven't you got the originals any more? Like me, you would not fancy scanning in hundredthousands of pages, either. Some agencies do it here for 15 cents a page, from paper orginals. Scanning in from microfilm orgininals is possible too, but only a few specialized service agencies are so far equipped for this. As we get older, it is not money so much that counts but time and energy. Who of us hasn't got more projects than he has time and energy to tackle and complete? Have you written more on monetary freedom in the meantime? My own planned alphabetized handbook on monetary freedom ideas, theories, principles & practices has been postponed again and again. Only the materials collection goes on. A few such entries can be found in my growing but still very incomplete SLOGANS FOR LIBERTY files. I have still thousands of Beckerath pages, in German, mostly dealing with monetary freedom, to ready for fiching or to scan in and many of these to translate. There is still no substitute for your once planned monetary freedom Quarterly (after the DURRELL JOURNAL failed as such) but, e.g.,Journals like THE FREEMAN & CATO JOURNAL have published quite a bit on the subject, also the Mises Institute. I have not yet got around, either, to extract and fiche the few free banking articles that the earlier issues do contain. No one has as yet pulled all this and previous output together and made it cheaply accessible, e.g., on a single CD-ROM. As much as I could, I have done and will be doing with microfiche and, hopefully, in the future, with CD-ROMs that are in a generally acceptable format. But what I have so far digitized on free banking - and found on various disks, I am pulling together on a CD-ROM - but only in ADAPTEC DIRECT DISK format, so far. Among that material are 12 files of essays of Laurance Labadie, who also extensively dealt with monetary freedom. If people really like some of the texts that I have fiched then they will have to condescend to read them from these fiche. As a former prime minister of Australia, Mr. Fraser, used to say: "Life was not meant to be easy!" We have so far largely failed to make it easier for libertarians, by sufficient collaborative actions, using affordable, lasting and powerful alternative media, like fiche, floppies, CD-ROMs, not to speak of DVDs and upcoming blue light CD-ROMs, each of them in their strengths. If we want push button access to all freedom information then we will have to work hard and long to achieve it. Government librarians and conventional publishers are unlikely to do the job for us. Settling down now in London? Its Libertarian Alliance has also put out some monetary freedom pamphlets. All of its output, except the early FREE LIFE editions, Nos. 1-4, are now on their website. The best wish of all: PIOT, John There exist now 25 ON PANARCHY microfiche and a new website: www.panarchy.org ================================= Best regards, > > Jon Matonis > London, UK > > __________________________________________________ >
