Re: The Overseas Purchasing DebateGreat idea, thanks for that Andrew. Any idea whether this is coming to us here in Aus? Seems that it'd be ideal to tie in to the 7-11 store network.

Re: The Overseas Purchasing DebateI've read the first couple of pages and the last couple of pages, so I apologise if my question has already been covered.
Firstly - I realise that I'm not buying high end stuff from overseas. I ride my Giant Hybrid as it was when it came out of the shop. But certainly in the low end stuff that I have bought (I've spent about 400 bucks on peripherals) - I haven't noticed a huge difference in pricing. I've been looking at GPS units, and in some cases I can find them cheaper here than they are overseas. (I have ordered clothes from overseas - but thats because, as my username says, I'm fat. Much of this gear was ordered because I couldn't find big sizes in Australia.) So: - what kinds of things do people buy from overseas? - whats the price difference at which you order from overseas? (in the few things I've looked at where there was a price difference, it's never been worth more than 10-20% - so for that little difference, I'll order it locally). - has anyone had any major warranty issues with stuff ordered from overseas? - is everyone just using Wiggle? What sites are you using where Wiggle don't stock what you needs? Thanks all.
Re: The Overseas Purchasing DebateA popular road bike tyre Continental GP4000 is around $100 at LBS (if you can find a shop that actually stocks them) and around $40 o/s. I probably use 4 sets (pairs) a year.
Dura Ace chain is around $80 or more at LBS and $36 o/s. I use 4 or 5 a year Shimano yellow road cleats $35-$40 in LBS and $20 o/s. I use 4 or 5 a year That's just a couple of prices on consumable stuff. When you get 'upgraditis' and change groupsets or buy carbon wheels then there is some serious savings to be made from buying o/s. If you are just riding a hybrid and going to the shop for a loaf of bread or commuting to work a few times a week then you won't consume as much stuff and won't want/need carbon wheels and the like. Wiggle is just one shop, there are many others but they tend to only stock parts for road and mountain bikes and not much if anything for hybrid type bikes. On the right hand side of the BNA home page there is a listing of a few online shops.
Re: The Overseas Purchasing DebateThe prices on the consumables you mention aren't as far out as you suggest.
I buy gp4000s tyres for $49 from a local bike shop. Cell and CE often have sub $40 deals. My yellow cleats were $25 from my local. Haven't bought a DA chain. But they're $53 from my local. I am a pragmatist on this. I shop local when it makes sense, and I try to always check prices.
Re: The Overseas Purchasing Debate
Makes me wonder we're they are getting their stock from. As of 2 months ago shimano Australia whole sale prime on a DA chain was $58 James

Re: The Overseas Purchasing DebateWell you must have good LBS' that do good prices. It's not only about price, it's about range, variety and convenience. I can sit at the computer and in a matter of minutes compare prices and availablity for a dozen shops, press the button to order and generally the goods will turn up on my doorstep within a week. With a LBS you have to ride/drive 20 or more kilometres to the nearest one, find somewhere to park (maybe have to pay to park), wait for the sales assistant to finish serving other customers to find out the product(s) you want are twice the price of o/s or aren't in stock.
http://99bikes.com.au/shop/accessories/ ... oad-cleats Club price $36 RRP $40 http://99bikes.com.au/shop/accessories/ ... peed-chain $87 RRP $89.99 http://99bikes.com.au/shop/accessories/ ... yre-700x23 $48 RRP $99.99 (price isn't actually too bad on these but most LBS sell them for around $100)
Re: The Overseas Purchasing Debate
I think Australia Post has a similar thng in some cities already? Good idea linking it with a supermarket so that people buy stuff while they are collecting their parcels.
Re: The Overseas Purchasing Debate
My LBS in Adelaide has an online store and delivers to my work either same or next day
Re: The Overseas Purchasing Debate
If I owned a business which depended upon dealing with Shimano Australia, I'd call around and gather support from other shop owners in a similar situation. Then, once I have the support of as many fellow shop owners as I can find, I'd organise a meeting with Shimano Australia to try and hammer out a better deal. You have a [virtual] bottomless pit of evidence when it comes to significantly lower prices for the same product. You have to be prepared to threaten to walk out en-masse. If the current situation is allowed to continue, everyone will lose. Shop owners, customers and Shimano. Everyone. You can change things. Don't just sit around crying about it.
Re: The Overseas Purchasing Debate
The problem is that they hold the strongest card in the deck. If you don't buy from us then we won't deal with any warranty. You can easily be stuck with OEM bikes where y out have to pay for replacement parks. Don't forget that they get a % of OEM bits on bikes as well. If they stop dealing with you you could find yourself not being able to stock and shimano fitted bikes. James

Re: The Overseas Purchasing Debate
I'm not talking about just 6 or 7 fellow shop owners. I'd call every single authorised Shimano dealer in Melbourne [or your capital city]. The threat has to be real. And there's always SRAM...
Re: The Overseas Purchasing Debate
Get ten shop owners in a room and you'll get 14 opinions on how to fix their woes.
Re: The Overseas Purchasing Debate
Some of the German stores like bike24, starbike and Rose Versand stock a full range of gear with a much greater focus on touring and commuter bikes and components. I'd agree with Ross on the magnitude of the savings to be made from overseas on-line purchases. Between 30% and 60% savings, so applying GST would make minimal difference. I buy most of my bike gear from overseas, except for helmets, wheel-builds and sometimes shoes. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: The Overseas Purchasing Debate
Maybe... But how many of them would say "no" to pricing which allows them to properly compete with the online market?
Re: The Overseas Purchasing Debate
Get ten shop owners and you'll have 14 variations of no. What you're proposing (shop owners getting together en masse) sounds nice but I don't think it will happen.

Re: The Overseas Purchasing Debate
Yeah BE's. You rattled off a few consumables and I let you know the prices I paid for similar locally above. I'm not going to stand up and defend BE (or any other LBS) for their prices, my point was that on some products they aren't as bad as you'd think. Given that they deliver locally same/next day, I'm happy to pay a few bucks extra to have it here sooner.
Re: The Overseas Purchasing Debate
This IS what needs to happen if retailers want the change to happen with minimal pain. Otherwise parallel importing will continue and retailers loyal to Shimano Australia will hurt big time.

RED DEER — Danielle Smith says her party has removed the distractions that prevented so many people from voting for it in the past and welcomed the addition of former Edmonton Progressive Conservative MLA Doug Elniski to the party fold.
Smith acknowledged the Wildrose still has a lot of work if it wants to attract voters in the Edmonton area, where the party failed to win any seats. One of the areas the party will focus on is the need for a big-city agenda.
"We believe we probably need a new funding deal for all our municipalities, but we can start with having a new funding arrangement for Calgary and Edmonton where they get the dollars they need to take care of their priorities without having to beg cap in hand from the province," Smith said Saturday in an interview. "We know that there are huge expensive interchanges, LRT, cultural investments that both Calgary and Edmonton need to make and they to have their own money to be able to do it."
Smith said she was happy to see Premier Alison Redford meeting Saturday with Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi and Edmonton mayor-elect Don Iveson, but said the Wildrose will keep pushing for a charter to be drafted more quickly during the upcoming session of the legislature. She later told a crowd of about 500 delegates that the party's agenda for urban municipalities "will let us make that breakthrough next time."
Delegates on Saturday voted to remove or amend a host of party planks that were the source of controversy during last year's provincial election. Removing the legacy firewall policies — such as withdrawing from the Canada Pension Plan and replacing the RCMP with a provincial police force — along with the addition of two policies on reducing greenhouse gas emissions means the party can appeal to more voters.
"We gave people too many reasons to vote against us and I would hope we are slowly removing some of the barriers people had to voting for us," Smith said.
She said the party struck the right balance at its meeting and that while voters have an array of progressive political options, the Wildrose is the "only conservative party in Alberta."
"We want people to realize there are different approaches to take to government, but that doesn't mean that you have to default to voting for the guys who have been in power for 40 years," she said. "There are lots of political parties offering lots of different proposals and hopefully people will keep an open mind and vote with their heart in the next election."
Smith said she was "delighted" to learn Elniski had joined the Wildrose, but said she wasn't surprised by the move.
"I kind of look at the world as people who are current Wildrosers or future Wildrosers," Smith said, adding she expects more "disillusioned" Tories to join her party in the next two to three years.
Elniski, who represented Edmonton-Calder for one term, said he had been thinking about joining for about a year, but made it official when he purchased his membership in advance of this weekend's gathering in Red Deer.
"Frankly, I just thought I'd rather be part of something that's new and growing and got some dynamics attached to it … It seemed to be pretty much a slam dunk when I got into thinking about it," Elniski said Saturday.
Elniski said the one term he served as a PC backbencher was a "frustrating experience," and added the party has a problem with bloated bureaucracy and a "tremendous sense of entitlement."
He pointed to a recent Court of Queen's Bench ruling that rebuked the government for enacting a shadow policy that excluded environmental groups from an oilsands project hearing as the final straw that led to his decision to change political stripes. Elniski said he's "very seriously" considering another run at provincial politics under the Wildrose banner.
Stefan Baranski, communications director for Redford, was quick to point to past comments about women that landed Elniski in hot water when he was an MLA, saying the former Tory was "home" with the Wildrose.
In a blog post about junior high school graduation, Elniski wrote: "Men are attracted to smiles, so smile and don't give me that 'treated equal' stuff, if you want Equal it comes in little packages at Starbucks." He soon apologized about the "grossly offside" comments.

In a post titled, "Was Jesus a Democrat or Republican?", Jeff Myers writes:
I recently received an email from my Christian friend, Bruce, who expressed some of the same frustration. He wrote: "Some of my church brothers and sisters were appalled when I showed up at home group sporting my Obama tee-shirt and parked my 'Obama-mobile' front-and-center in the parking lot (pretty much assuring that I'll never be an elder . . .). It's almost as though they question the legitimacy of my faith because I don't support the Republican viewpoint (I'm not a Democrat, either—I'm a 'decline to state' dude)."
I certainly have known the feeling.
I'm not a decline-to-state dude. I'm a left-of-center Republican, and one who has become increasingly frustrated with Republican political priorities of the past decade. And I distinctly remember attending a wedding a few years back at which a number of friends from my high school church youth group were shocked to hear that a Christian could vote for a Democrat.
Of course, evangelical Christians come in all shapes and colors. I've mentioned this recently in regards to gay marriage, but it is germane to non-hot-button political issues too.

YNet reports on a poor prescription tool used by Ultra Orthodox Jewish men who want to avoid seeing women they consider to be immodestly dressed:
The ultra-Orthodox community's unofficial "modesty patrols" are selling glasses with special blur-inducing stickers on their lenses. The glasses provide clear vision for up to a few meters so as not to impede movement, but anything beyond that gets blurry – including women. It's not known how many have been sold.
For men forced to venture outside their insular communities, hoods and shields that block peripheral vision are also being offered.
The glasses are going for the "modest" price of $6.
For some reason, I don't see these blurring glasses becoming the next fashion statement of NBA stars.

It's been a taxing last two weeks getting my family's affairs in order and boxing up our place. At midnight last night, my co-pilot (aka my dad) and I jumped on the 10 and started driving east. Destination: Miami, where I'll be working for the next year (and where there is an eclectic mix of religious communities).
The move has thus far taken a lot more out of me than expected, evident in the all-quiet nature of The God Blog the past few days. I'll be updating from the road; hopefully they have data networks in western Texas. Posting over the next three days will probably be like it was during the California bar exam: sporadic.

And if you want to know what the nuts at Westboro Baptist Church had to say about the murder of six people who didn't share the Westboro belief system, here is what Westboro leader Fred Phelps tweeted:
Beautiful work of an angry God who told Wisconsin to keep their filthy hands off his people (WBC)!
— Fred Phelps Jr (@WBCFredJr) August 5, 2012#godsenttheshooter!m.cnn.com/primary/wk_art…
This comment defies both comprehension and any vestige of compassion. It's getting difficult to even know how to respond to Westboro Baptist; it seems to be turning into an even more extreme caricature of itself.

One of those unfinished project from my days as senior writer at The Jewish Journal was a piece on Southern California skinheads and neo-Nazis. I did the piece about the academic that white supremacists love, but I never finished an "American History X"-type piece.
The reasons such a piece would be of interest to L.A.'s Jewish community are fairly obvious—specifically years of run-ins with white supremacists and some targeted attacks on Jews. It would have been less obvious to me why, say, the Sikh community would be interested in such a story.
That is no longer the case. Sunday, Wade Michael Page, an Army veteran and known white supremacist, allegedly opened fire in a Sikh temple, killing six.
There has been a long history of hate-based attacks on Sikhs, who bare long beards and turbans, and carry a small dagger (as is required by their religion). They are a peaceful, and misunderstood, religion.
Page, on the other hand, reportedly was not:
Page, who lived in a neighboring community, served in the military from 1992 to 1998, received a "general discharge" and was "ineligible for reenlistment." A Pentagon official said Page rose to the rank of sergeant before being demoted to specialist and leaving the Army. News agencies reported that Page, who was never posted overseas during his six years of service, was discharged for being drunk on duty and other unspecified misconduct.
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights organization that monitors hate groups, Page was a "frustrated neo-Nazi who had been the leader of a racist white-power band." He had been "part of the white power music scene since 2000," when he left his native Colorado on a motorcycle, attended white power concerts in several states and played in a variety of "hate rock bands," the center said, citing a 2010 interview Page gave to a white supremacist Web site about his latest skinhead band, "End Apathy."
One question that always gets asks after mass shootings, particularly against a specific group of people, is whether the shooter was a lone wolf or part of a pack.
But you also have to ask what this tragedy will mean for the families left grieving, and for the community that now might wonder just how safe their temples are.

Aly Raisman is quickly making American Jews forget about their former golden girl of gymnastics, Kerri Strug. Not only does Raisman perform her floor exercises to "Hava Nagila," but today she took home the gold at the London Olympics.
From CBS News:
Perhaps energized by her surprise bronze on beam, Raisman's floor routine had an extra spark. Her tumbling passes were some of the most difficult, and she got such great height on them you could have parked a double-decker bus beneath her. Her landings were not only secure, one was so powerful it practically shook the floor.
Coach Mihai Brestyan was hopping up and down and pumping his fist as she finished, and even Raisman was impressed with herself, mouthing "wow" after she saluted the judges. When her score, a 15.6, was posted, teammate McKayla Maroney yelled "whoa!" so loudly from the stands it could be heard across the arena.

In his new book, "Einstein's Jewish Science: Physics at the Intersection of Politics and Religion," philosophy professor Steven Gimbel talks about how Jewish thinking laid a foundation for Einstein's breakthrough Theory of Relativity. The New York Times reviewed Gimbel's book Friday and summarized it this way:
Einstein, Gimbel argues, was especially well put to come upon such insights because he was a Jew. Gimbel is not saying that Einstein was deeply religious. When he talked about "the secrets of the Old One" or God playing dice, he was being a little ironic, using the idea of a deity he didn't believe in as a metaphor for the laws of the universe. Nor does Gimbel find any particularly Jewish ideas in Einstein's science or signs that, as the Nazis contended, it was politically motivated. I don't think many will need convincing on those points. But Gimbel is an engaging writer. In demonstrating the obvious, he takes readers on enlightening excursions through the nature of Judaism, Hegelian philosophy, wherever his curiosity leads.
Listen to Gimbel talk about his book in the above video.

The stakes of the stalemate are high -- and climbing.
The partial government shutdown will enter its 14th day Monday, just three days before the U.S. government bumps up against its projected borrowing limit.
Talks both on ending the shutdown and on avoiding the debt ceiling have shifted to the Senate, as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, along with other top senators, began discussions this weekend.
The Senate reconvened Sunday afternoon, with Reid saying he would do "everything I can throughout the day" to reach some sort of bargain with the chamber's Republican minority.
But a source familiar with the ongoing Senate discussions expressed doubt that any significant progress would be made Sunday evening. And the Senate adjourned shortly before 5 p.m. ET, showing no signs of such progress.
Still, Reid struck a positive note as he spoke on the Senate floor.
"I've had a productive conversation with the Republican leader this afternoon. Our discussions were substantive and we'll continue those discussions. I'm optimistic about the prospects for a positive conclusion," he said.
The Senate will meet again Monday at 2 p.m. ET.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said earlier that a bipartisan group of senators was still trying to hash out a plan acceptable to both sides.
"We had 12 people meet yesterday, but just last night I had two more Democrats and a Republican contact me to offer suggestions and say they want to be part of our group," she said on CNN's State of the Union.
"It's taken far too long. We never should be in this situation," she added. "But I do believe there's going to be a resolution this week."
Likewise, Sen. Dick Durbin, the Democratic whip, said he thinks that Congress will ultimately get the job done.
"I'm a hopeful person. I believe we can do it. I hope sensible people prevail, because at this point, it's not just a shutdown and all of the damage it's caused, but if we default on our debt, it will have a dramatic impact on the savings account, on the retirement account of average Americans," Durbin, of Illinois, said on NBC's "Meet The Press."
On the other side of the aisle, Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, said he too thinks Congress will find a way out of the crisis before Thursday, when the United States hits the debt ceiling.
"We will have decided as a Congress that we need to avoid going over the debt limit, and we'll figure it out. And it will probably be a relatively short-term solution," Portman said.
A weekend of rejections
But while senators' comments and reports of talks were positive, the only actions over the weekend involved one "no" after another.
-- Reid said Saturday that the plan Collins was assembling is no longer on the table, because it treated reopening the government as a "concession." Reid continues to demand that any plan include a "clean" bill, one that raises the debt limit and reopens the government with no strings attached.
-- Republicans blocked a measure to extend the debt limit with no strings attached, refusing to support a procedural vote that would have brought it to the Senate floor.
-- House Republican leaders said President Barack Obama rejected their proposal for a six-week extension of the federal debt ceiling.
-- Meanwhile, Republicans objected to the prospect being floated over the weekend that the forced spending cuts known as sequestration, which have cut deeply into federal operations since March, might be rolled back under any eventual deal. Reid said that proposal "is not anything that came from us."
The Treasury Department says it will be unable to pay the government's bills unless the debt limit is increased by Thursday. The partial shutdown of government services has been in effect since October 1. And Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tennessee, told "Fox News Sunday" that the momentum that seemed to be building last week toward a resolution has stalled.
"I do think we will see our way through this, but the last 24 hours have not been good," he said.
Christine Lagarde, head of the International Monetary Fund, said Saturday the consequences of a failure to raise the debt limit would be dire for economies around the world. She spoke to CNN's Richard Quest at an Institute of International Finance conference in Washington.
"You know, I've just spent the last two days with representatives of about 188 countries around the world. I wouldn't say they are confident. I would say they are concerned, and they are very anxious to see this crisis resolved, because they know it's going to impact on their economy," Lagarde said.

Monday July 07, 2008 02:39 by Zabalaza Anarchist Communist Front - ZACF zacf at zabalaza dot net Postnet Suite 47, Private Bag X1, Fordsburg, 2033, South Africa
A member of the ZACF poses the same set of questions to two activists from Zimbabwe. Interview with Biko Mutsaurwa, anarcho-communist from the Uhuru Network and facilitator for the Toyi Toyi Artz Kollektive. Conducted in Johannesburg on 21st June 2008 by the ZACF. ZACF: Have you heard about the regime's alleged 3-stage election scheme ("electoral cleansing", falsify the vote, declare a state of emergency)? Biko: About the regimes intentions to outrightly rig the Zimbabwe electoral outcome I could say that i am convinced merely from watching the regimes reactions to the 29th March elections results that Mugabe has refused to accept that he was defeated in that election. The state media has continued to propagate the myths that there was no election winner. So Im clear that their intention was to rig the election. With regards to how the regime is actually intent on cleansing after the elections, decimating the middle lay of activists within the Movement for Democratic Change I could say that I have second hand information, actually I got it from my mother who was forced-marched to a ZANU PF rally this Wednesday, 18th June 2008 where war veterans from the Zimbabwe Liberation War Veterans Association addressed that rally and they came to say that they were not there to campaign but they were there to inform the people that ZANU PF was not going to accept the electoral victory of MDC and also that they were going to come back to beat up the residents of Chitungwiza, where I stay with my family, primarily because Chitungwiza has been traditionally voting for the MDC. ZACF: Can you tell us something about conditions on the ground in Zimbabwe, the extent of repression etc.. We'd like to hear about something else other than the repeated arrests of Tsvangirai & other MDC big-shots. Biko: The arrests of senior MDC leaders comes in the wake of ZANU PFs realisation that this time around the MDC leadership is prepared to call upon the masses of Zimbabwe to rise up and defend their vote using peoples power.The specific incident that gave rise to this awakening in terms of ZANU PFs realisation was Tendai Bitis announcement of the parallel voter tabulation result on 30th March. The arrests are merely a signal that ZANU PF is going to incapacitate the higher MDC leadership and later decimate the middle-layer MDC leadership that is community organisers so that there is no organised resistance in the wake of ZANU PFs rigging of elections but also, which is much widespread, there have been very serious instances of ZANU PF militia in the rural areas mutilating the bodies of murdered MDC activists. A case in point is a very close friend of mine, Comrade Tonderai Ndira, who was a community organiser but also - in the wake of what is happening - was agitating for the armed self-defence of the oppressed communities particularly in the rural areas. He was murdered in one of the rural areas by the Central Intelligence Organisation in the remote rural district. His brother could only recognise him by a wrist band that he wore. That is the extent to which ZANU PF is prepared to deal with ordinary people. There are so many numerous names of people that have been murdered by ZANU PF. ZACF: And the economy: hyperinflation, availability of food & other basic necessities, unemployment are common knowledge. Perhaps you have some comments on the origin of the economic crisis? Biko: The ZANU PF regime came into power masquerading as a socialist party. It had as part of its ideological tradition the Stalinist conception of revolution. By 1991 even workers rose up against the ZANU PF dictatorship but by then it had consolidated its power and by 1990 ZANU PF had ceased to event act as a pseudo-leftist party and it outrightly embraced the right wing policies of the Bretton Woods institutions, the IMF and the World Bank, by adopting the economic Structural Adjustment Programmes.The revolution that is currently underway in Zimbabwe is a revolution that has been sparked by the peoples reaction to the adverse effects brought about by the economic Structural Adjustment Programmes of the 1990s. By 1999 we see the formation of the MDC, and the rest is history. ZACF: What is the role of the MDC? Have they handled things well or badly? Again, historical comments on how they've blundered in the past might be helpful. Biko: The MDC emerged in 1999 from the initiatives of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions as a workers party, but by the year 2001 it had been hijacked by middle class intellectuals and capitalists and therefore became a cocktail of ideologies. There have been a big number of mistakes that have been committed by the MDC. The MDC has not aligned itself towards the working people in terms of its economic policies. The MDC continues to look outwards towards foreign direct investment from imperialists nations and mutli-national corporations as the way forward for rebuilding the decimated ZImbabwean economy. But in terms of strategy and tactics I believe that this time the MDC has learnt from its mistakes of not agitating for peoples power, but what remains a very serious weakness at this particular point is the inability to prepare the masses for an uprising. Yes its good enough to have the leadership calling for people to get into the streets, but its not good enough because you need to have the people prepared through training, through regular actions with regards to bread and butter struggles that people are going through, because only through action can people attain confidence in using action as means to liberate themselves, which is the only way for ZImbabwe. ZACF: Can you tell us a little about the current state of resistance & prospects for the future; whether resistance is organised primarily or only by MDC or whether theres other resistance; the trade unions movement, civics etc.? Biko: The Zimbabwean pro-democracy movement has been infected by a disease that we call the commodification of resistance syndrome. There are a lot of NGOs getting a lot of money from imperialist nations but they are not organising concretely where the masses of the working people are. The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions remains a militant organisation but it has been weakened by the high rate of unemployment. Our belief as the Uhuru Network is that the key focal point is organising in communities where the majority of working people are, and here we see the very significant role of the combined Harare residents associations, but we feel that the hierarchical structure of most of these organisations organising in the communities is an impediment to the workers and poor people organising themselves in a manner that actually embodies the new forms of organisation that we envision for a new Zimbabwe. ZACF: Have you read an article by Dale McKinley of the APF on the strategy of resistance for Zimbabwe? And what were your thoughts? Biko: I have read articles that comrade Dale wrote in response to a discussion that had been initiated by comrade Oupa Lehulere of Khanya College with regards to the centrality of the industrial working class proletariat contrasted to the role of the social movements organising in communities. I think by and large he does to an certain extent balance the role of social movements in communities with the industrial working class. What Im not clear about is what kind of organisational structure comrade Dale argues before, because one of the major impediments that I myself have experienced in terms of organising is that workers are usually disempowered by the vanguardist politics of the revolutionary parties and the hierarchies in terms of central command, for example when organising strikes. So I cant really say that I understand what comrade Dale would argue for in terms of structure, but that would be a key concern for me. ZACF: Please tell us a bit about the regime's methods of repression. How far does it depend on firearms etc; how important is the Chinese connection in terms of arms trade etc.? Can you confirm whether or not the infamous arms shipment got through to Zimbabwe? Biko: The shipment was actually confirmed to have been received by a minister in the regimes cabinet, so the shipment is in Zimbabwe now. It is also another thing though that the fascist regime is prepared to use all means of violence, firearms are central to that to suppress any resistance. So firearms are key. ZANU PF years ago trained youth militia under the National Youth Service Training Programme and those militia are currently on standby and will be unleashed after the elections for the cleansing of activists. Currently what they are using are the youth structures of their party which are by and large very active in all the various wards of the country. The police and the army were the first to perpetrate repression and violence and this we saw in the pre-29th March period and also of significance is the large number of activists who have been murdered, middle layer leaders within the MDC, who were actually murdered by members of the army during Operation Command which is in charge of running the country. The army the police and the CIO. ZACF: What about the repressive forces receiving training in Korea? Biko: It is very key because Im in fact aware of a number of places, particularly in Harares Milton suburb that are being used as training centers by not only Korean but also Chinese military personnel to train ZANU PF cadres in methods of torture. This I can confirm because Ive witnessed it with my own eyes. ZACF: How long is it actually going to take to get rid of Mugabe, and what happens then? A government of national unity or the MDC? What kind of policies will such a government adopt? Is there a danger of a return to neo-liberalism; and what can be done to resist this? Biko: Frankly I am not a firm believer in parliamentary politics as a tool for the liberation of the working and poor people, so Im pretty much indifferent to what is going to happen after Mugabe because what is clear to me is that the working and poor people in Zimbabwe are not ready to take control of their lives because they have been brainwashed by the ideology of the ruling class. The MDC, if assumes in power - which I would say will happen in the next year or so if peoples power and the resistance is organised properly - will pursue neo-liberal polices. The only positive thing that I can see about an MDC government is slightly broadened democratic space within which I think revolutionary organisations, activists and movements can operate much more flexibly to fight neo-liberalism. ZACF: What about the role of other regional and international powers, such as South Africa, UK, US, and China? Economic interests, inter-imperialist rivalries, links to government & opposition etc. Biko: Central to efforts by the international community to resolve the Zimbabwean crisis has been South Africa, particularly Thabo Mbekis role as the mediator of the Sadc initiated dialog. Thabo Mbeki I think is by and large motivated by the South African states sub-imperialist interest in the economy of Zimbabwe. I think also key to understanding his relationship to ZANU PF is the relationship between the ANC, as a party, to ZANU PF. We must also understand that Comrade Mbeki, if I might call him a comrade (laughs), was educated - or his education was financed - by ZANU PF; he was staying in Harare at the hospitality of Robert Mugabe, and when he goes to meet Robert Mugabe he meets him as his superior in terms of the nationalists as a movement. The role of the West and the UK is motivated by the failure of the ZANU PF regime to resolve the land issue in ZImbabwe and also the question of ownership of means of production, which is central to the struggle. The United Kingdom, as a state, harbors a hope that they might be able to reverse the loss of the estates and perhaps companies or economic interests in Zimbabwe as a result of Mugabes pseudo-leftist parties if an MDC government comes to power. The US is an imperialist nation whose motives around resolving international problems is purely economic. They would want to open up the economy of Zimbabwe to the multinational corporations that come from that particular state. So they do not have the interests of the Zimbabwean people at heart. In terms of the international community helping with the resolution of the crisis it can only be people to people solidarity; poor and working people, revolutionaries and organisations - similar minded - in various countries all over the world rendering solidarity to the Zimbabwe people with the interests of the empowerment of poor and working people in Zimbabwe. ZACF: What can you say about Thabo Mbeki, and do you think that Jacob Zuma will be any better when he comes to power? Biko: The relationship with the Zimbabwean state if ZANU PF is in power will clearly be acrimonious because Jacob Zuma appears to be the new favourite puppet of the West in light of his ability to hoodwink the trade unions - Cosatu as a movement - into supporting him. It has become clear I think to most of the imperialists that Jacob Zuma has the popular support of the people but he is clearly another puppet in terms of his relations with companies, the capitalists, and arms dealers and he wont have anything to offer the people of Zimbabwe, the ordinary masses; but he will be, after Mbeki, the imperialists next favourite puppet in terms of how their strategies are implemented within the Southern African region. ZACF: In terms of international solidarity, what can we do? Who is helping in SA and elsewhere? Biko: The transportation workers union I think signaled the direction that workers need to take, unlike what we have seen - even though Cosatu has been militant at times - but we have seen a lot of talk-shops around whats going on in Zimbabwe. But I think concrete action along the lines of what SATAWU did in stopping the shipment of arms is the next direction. ZACF: Any comments on the recent so-called xenophobic pogroms in South Africa? Anything about Zimbabweans who fled the pogroms back across the Limpopo? How significant is this from a Zimbabwean point of view and what does it say about the South African government and people? Biko: Firstly Id like to register my understanding of the fundamental causes of the xenophobic attacks which I think are primarily rooted in the rate of unemployment currently obtained in South Africa, which is a direct result of the capitalist economic structure that the South African state is pursuing, and also the artificial food shortages which are superficially created by the global capitalist complex in order to initiate a hike in prices. I think those particular causes resonate with the situation obtaining in Zimbabwe and do point to us having a common enemy, which is capitalism. It is particularly disappointing though that the xenophobic attacks also point towards and indicate to us the lack of understanding of each others struggles that we as working people face, which we have to overcome in order to be able to overcome the system. The impact of people fleeing the xenophobic attacks and coming back to Zimbabwe has on one hand the effect of bolstering the vote of the MDC, because clearly those people are people who are disaffected by the ZANU PF regime. But it has also tragically had the effect of worsening their plight because the violence that did obtain in that short period in South Africa is incomparable to the violence being perpetrated by the ZANU PF regime back home, and these people are primary targets because most of them did flee after some resistance activities and it is like throwing these activists back into the lions den, and this is the tragedy of our situation. ZACF: There are rumors that MDC agents could actually have acted as provocateurs and brought about these attacks in order to cause Zimbabweans to flee back home and therefore bolster their support during the elections. Do you think this is a possibility, or do you think its the South African government trying to divert responsibility? Biko: Whilst I cannot really comment with confidence about what really happened in South Africa as I was in Zimbabwe I am inclined to believe that third force conspiracies are really something to drive us away from the responsibility that the ANC government has towards the poor and working people in South Africa which is the fundamental cause. Like I said before the MDC is actually a cocktail of ideologies and is a party that cuts across class; most of the influential people in the MDC are not really pro-working people so it is actually possible that people whose interests do not lie with the working people might be able to have their buddies to influence this but I would much rather focus on the role that the polices pursued by the ANC government have had on the xenophobic attacks. ZACF: What role do you think nationalism might have played in these attacks? Biko: Capital is globalised, the capitalist in Joburg is able to send huge amounts of money to Harare in seconds whereas the peoples movement is restricted by these borders, and that people are forced to recognise these ideological constructs limited to the ruling classes propaganda with these geographical zones and I think that has been key to shaping the thoughts that we have seen manifest in this very tragic way during the xenophobic attacks. And I think that our role as progressives and revolutionaries is then to try to share the ideas that we uphold of a world that has no borders, and I think that is the way forward in addressing xenophobia across the world. ZACF: Any messages to the international anarchist movement? Any appeals or suggestions for how the international anarchist movement can support the struggle in Zimbabwe and help the advancement of anarchist ideas there? Biko: Firstly, ahoy comrades and we appreciate the efforts that the movement has been receiving so far. We as the Uhuru Network have significantly benefited from our relationship with the ZACF in terms of the literature that we have managed to get and also the experiences that we share with comrades. Currently the realisation that we need to remind each other that the anarchist movement is a very small movement within the broader leftist movement but also within the pro-democracy movement and that our true anarchist comrades are at risk, especially when we have levels or repression such as are obtaining in Zimbabwe. We need to constantly communicate, interact, share experiences and also information about actions happening because when shit hits the fan it is only an anarchist that will be able to give appropriate solidarity to a fellow anarchist comrade. Interview with Comrade Fatso AKA Samm Farai Monro, cultural activist and artistic facilitator for Magamba! The Cultural Activist Network, Zimbabwe. Conducted in Johannesburg on 21st June 2008 by the ZACF. ZACF: Have you heard about the regime's alleged 3-stage election scheme ("electoral cleansing", falsify the vote, declare a state of emergency)? Fatso: I heard of this plan, I think I read about it in the media and its obvious that theyre going ahead with the first two. At least there definitely is electoral cleansing going on, in the sense of getting rid of opposition support from the rural areas, where the majority of voters are, and also getting rid of any local election observers and poll monitors. And on declaring a state of emergency; its quite likely thats something they could do in the build up to or straight after the elections. All theyd need is a peaceful demonstration or even less they could once against fabricate stories of supposed conspiracies, and I wouldnt put that beyond them. ZACF: Do you think this is an accurate understanding of Mugabe's intentions and, if so, will he pull it off? Fatso: I think what is likely is they will rig the elections. Theyve shown they dont give a damn about even the foreign observers; there have been two people shot in front of Namibian election observers a couple of days ago. If they dont declare a state of emergency a very likely scenario is that, after winning, theyll patch together a government of national unity which would be more in the sense of absorbing the MDC and then slowly taking it apart as it becomes part of the government, which of course ZANU PF would run. ZACF: Can you tell us something about conditions on the ground in Zimbabwe, the extent of repression etc.. We'd like to hear about something else other than the repeated arrests of Tsvangirai & other MDC big-shots. Fatso: Whats going on on the ground is the abduction, torture and murder of grassroots activists from across the board. Mainly MDC activists are being targeted but also those from Women of Zimbabwe Arise, from the National Constitutional Assembly, different movements have also been targeted. Four bodies of MDC activists were found a few days ago. They were from Chitungwiza, which is the biggest township in Harare, and they had been abducted, tortured, beaten and murdered. And there are also political prisoners. WOZAs leadership has been arrested and is being held until after the elections. What ZANU has now started is that dictatorial trend of taking political prisoners, which it didnt necessarily do in the past. Those are some of the things that are happening. ZACF: And the economy: hyperinflation, availability of food & other basic necessities, unemployment are common knowledge. Perhaps you have some comments on the origin of the economic crisis? Fatso: Everyone knows about the hyper inflation and that were moving into the trillions. You have to spend trillions of dollars on certain basic things. Economically there has been a decline, really since the 1990s, with the introduction of Structural Adjustment Programmes and the commercialisation of parastatals, the removal of tariffs on Western imported goods and the removal of subsides that supported local industry. All of this was World Bank backed Structural Adjustment Programmes which led to the average worker being twice as poor in 1995 as they were in 1980, it led to a large amount of school drop-outs, it led to increased unemployment and worse wages. So the economic decline really started more in the 1990s, and thats something that doesnt get reported on that much in foreign media. And of course then this precipitated Mugabe fighting against those demanding economic justice; the workers and students. Mugabe fighting against them by using the land issue, and beginning to repress his opposition and destroying the economy in order to entrench their patronage system; so theres been a steady decline since the mid-nineties until now. ZACF: What is the role of the MDC? Have they handled things well or badly? Again, historical comments on how they've blundered in the past might be helpful. Fatso: I give respect to MDC for having fought the struggle and for having risked so much. I do think that strategically theyve made mistakes, and their relationship with the people hasnt always been as direct as it should have been and their information hasnt gotten out as much as it should have. I do respect them still for putting themselves in the forefront of the struggle, but I think also that there has to be a lot more coordination with the civics and social movements. ZACF: Some people have criticised Tsvangirai for having spent so long outside of Zimbabwe, trying to muster International support instead of providing leadership on the ground. Any comments? Fatso: I think it was, on the one hand, a wise idea for him to leave the country and drum up support in the region. I think he achieved a lot within Sadc. Definitely he achieved quite a few breakthroughs with Sadc heads of state in getting them to support the peoples side of whats going on in Zimbabwe, but I do think he stayed out for too long and peoples hopes started dissipating. And he is now back - I think he came back a bit late - but he is now back and he obviously always has risks of arrest and assassination on his head. Youve seen what theyve done to Tendai Biti the Secretary General, who is one of the key players and one of the brightest minds in the MDC. By taking Tendai out of the game they have definitely dealt quite a harsh blow to MDC. ZACF: Can you tell us a little about the current state of resistance & prospects for the future; whether resistance is organised primarily or only by MDC or whether theres other resistance; the trade unions movement, civics etc.? Fatso: I think theres various types of resistance, MDCs is one form. Amongst the civics I think the most powerful movement is Women of Zimbabwe Arise, a very powerful social movement made up of women, which focuses on social justice issues, takes to the streets where necessary, believes in direct action and is a national movement that has got sections all over the country. And then there are other forms of resistance. There are the civics, and theres those like ourselves that use arts and culture in the struggle. Weve got our network Magamba! The Cultural Activist Network, and we put on different resistance shows as ways of keeping peoples inspiration high, giving people that food for resistance. I think there are different forms of resistance that happen and no, its not at all exclusively the MDC. ZACF: At the Southern African Social Forum in 2005 you had a performance in Harare Gardens that was openly critical of the regime, in broad view of everyone, yet there wasnt any state repression metered out against people that participated. Is that because of the high profile of cultural activists, or what do you attribute that to? Fatso: Its a difficult one. They do come and threaten and monitor; they monitor our performances, they call us up afterwards to interrogate us informally. Sometimes they probably think their presence is enough to stop people coming, and sometimes their presence does stop some people coming into our shows. Weve had that before, where people said No Im not coming in because I know those guys, I know what theyre capable of. But their strategy is also to censor the arts, I mean my album has been banned. Theyve given a blanket silence in all state media meanwhile the non-state media has given it very good reviews -of course, its a resistance album - but they censor those who dont support them. ZACF: Please tell us a bit about the regime's methods of repression. How far does it depend on firearms etc; how important is the Chinese connection in terms of arms trade etc.? Fatso: The regime will always resort to using arms and especially right now, in the build up to elections, there are more reports of people being shot. The soldiers and Youth Militia are all being used in an attempt to destroy the peoples will. With regards to the Chinese, there has been an important connection there; they have provided everything from police vehicles, baton sticks, army vehicles, arms and the like. So there is a definite connection. ZACF: Can you confirm whether or not the infamous arms shipment got through to Zimbabwe? Fatso: Ive got no specific information of on that. ZACF: How long is it actually going to take to get rid of Mugabe, and what happens then? A government of national unity or the MDC? What kind of policies will such a government adopt? Is there a danger of a return to neo-liberalism; and what can be done to resist this? Fatso: One never knows how long it will take to get rid of Mugabe, but I do think its the final days of ZANU PF. I dont think they can go on much longer. I think a form of government of national unity is what would come about, even MDC have talked of this; that there is such polarisation in Zimbabwe that the MDC alone may not be able to take all the people with it. So there is likelihood that if the MDC was to form a government of them bringing in certain elements of ZANU PF, more reformed so-called progressive elements. There are progressive aspects to what MDC wants to put in place; they talk a lot about a people-based economy and people-centered constitution, but it needs to be seen in practice because one problem with Zimbabwe is that theres a big likelihood that, in a new, independent and free Zimbabwe, that in order to get foreign investment a lot of the country and its resources will be sold off to foreign investors and foreign corporations. That would be a very quick-fix way of bringing money into the economy, but of course wed end up seeing resources being in the hand of foreigners and Zimbabweans not benefiting. So I think thats one think to look out for, and another is getting into debt. We have a huge illegitimate foreign debt that we should not pay. Some of it was incurred by Rhodesia and the rest was incurred by ZANU PF and none of that should be paid back; its illegitimate. The policies that should be put in place should be policies that focus more on social and economic justice, and I think that if those kind of policies dont start to be put in place then people, because the democratic space would technically be larger under the MDC one would hope, people will still have that knowledge and tradition of the basic struggles for water, the basic struggles for food that formed a lot of the core struggles during our struggle for democracy today and would hopefully be able to continue the struggle for social and economic justice. I dont think it ends with MDC being in power, I think freedom is never fully attained and a lot of the movements will morph into new movements and new movement will be born and the struggle for peoples basic socio-economic rights will continue. ZACF: What about the role of other regional and international powers, such as South Africa, the UK, US, and China? Economic interests, inter-imperialist rivalries, links to government & opposition? Fatso: I think a new Zimbabwe will be a prime picking ground for South Africa, the UK, US and also I think its very important for any government in place to be aware of what progressive policies have to be in place and not selling off the country and its assets, because Zimbabwe had the second biggest industrial base in the region with self-sufficiency in food, and thats something which has to be reestablished without selling it out to the foreigners. ZACF: What can you say about Thabo Mbeki, and do you think that Jacob Zuma will be any better when he comes to power? Fatso: I think Mbeki has been an absolute dismal failure in being the Sadc appointed mediator. Zumas statements have been progressive, but then hes also someone who is known to be a populist and known to ride on popular waves of popular thinking. So his statements and the new ANC leaderships statements on Zimbabwe have been much more progressive than anything weve heard from Mbeki and his ANC, but the proof of it will be in the action rather than in the public statements. ZACF: In terms of international solidarity, what can we do? Who is helping in SA and elsewhere? Fatso: I think a lot of Zimbabwean people were very empowered by the regional solidarity that came about from the civics especially in South Africa around the arms issue, Cosatu affiliated trade unions refusing to offload, refusing to transport the shipment. The South African Litigations Center taking the boat to court. I think that was very powerful civic solidarity; the South African government had nothing to do with it. That was showing how social movements and civics can be a powerful force for good within society. So I think actions like that where social movements take the forefront, dont wait for governmental action, I think thats important. Many forms of solidarity can happen; even in the concert today when people walk in they will sign individual letters addressed to Thabo Mbeki on Zimbabwe, and those will be sent to him. So different forms of awareness raising, different forms of solidarity are key in struggle. ZACF: Any comments on the recent so-called xenophobic pogroms in South Africa? Anything about Zimbabweans who fled the pogroms back across the Limpopo? How significant is this from a Zimbabwean point of view and what does it say about the South African government and people? Fatso: I think what its shown is what happens after more than ten years of elitist policies within South Africa that have lead to a blossoming so-called black diamond middle class and a hugely growing economy but a population where 40% are unemployed and most of the people live in absolutely squalid conditions. That should be a wake-up call. The neo-liberal policies that have been in place have not worked, theyve benefitted the rich and not the poor and that should be a wake-up call to the ANC about what policies its putting in place. And at the same time, from our side, a better Zimbabwe means a better South Africa in the sense that we wont have all these refugees coming over to South Africa if we didnt have the crisis in Zimbabwe in the first place. |

Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is, according to many critics and fond readers, the great American novel. Full of vibrant American characters, intriguing regional dialects and folkways, and down-home good humor, it also hits Americans in one of their greatest and on-going sore spots: the fraught issue of racism.
As Huck and Jim float down the Mississippi and encounter all manner of people and situations, and as Huck struggles mightily with his conscience concerning Jim, the novel strongly invites a moral and religious perspective. Mary R. Reichardt, the editor of this edition, is a professor of literature in the Catholic Studies department at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul MN.
