The United States Department of State has created the Office of Cyber and Digital Policy, a unit dedicated to monitoring and controlling the flows of information that circulate through digital channels.

The Office will address issues related to national security, economic opportunity, and the impact of cyberspace, digital technologies, and policies on America’s values.

The place of this unit in the organization chart of the Department of State has not been definitively specified. There was talk of putting this office directly under the authority of Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman rather than the Department of Homeland Security due to the broad, horizontal nature of the Office.

But the choice does not appear to be unanimous within the State Department, although it has the support of members of Congress and lobbyists representing private interests.

The Cyberspace Office consists of three departments. The first is International Communications and Information Policy, under the direction of Steven Anderson, who led the Office of Business and Economic Affairs, focusing on internet governance and digital privacy negotiations.

The second is International Cybersecurity, led by Michelle Markof, a veteran of UN cybersecurity negotiations.

The third is Digital Freedom, directed by the coordinator Blake Peterson, a specialist in human rights and digital management.

What is Anarchasexuality? / The Irresistible Attractions

What is Anarchasexuality?

It may not have totally passed you by that we live, at least here in the affluent and powerful West, now also called the Global North, in a time of sex and gender turmoil.

There is argument, and sometimes political and legal action, taking place over how people refer to themselves and perform their lives in the context of sex and gender activity and expression.

This is not a trivial matter for, in fact, [besides the many lives it harms or otherwise affects] it cuts to the very heart of the organisation and understanding of civilization — if by the term “civilization” we mean the organisation of people who live in close proximity to one another in variously connected communities and societies.

In recent centuries in this context diverse sexualities and gender expressions [homosexuality and transgenderism are obvious examples here] have been exposed to the light [but not to reality for it is my firm belief that they have always quite naturally existed — across numerous cultures — as expressions of a nature that exists in whatever way it is possible to do so] in ways not always, or even usually, emancipatory.

Diverse sexualities and gender expressions are, more often than not, either criminalised, pathologized as “deviant” or issues of mental ill health, or both.

Both sex and gender, as intellectual historians such as Michel Foucault and Judith Butler have demonstrated, have been subject to, and, in some senses, formulated by, authoritarian epistemologies of control which seek to dictate terms in order to politically coerce what is and is not allowed to exist or take place.

This has the obvious corollary of sex and gender-based oppressions stemming from patriarchal power operating according to a dynamic of domination and subordination along heteronormative and dimorphic lines.

An anarchist must respond to this.

An anarchist, I would argue, must in fact enter the fray and seek to define what an anarchist and emancipatory ethic of sex and gender might be [by living it out!]

This is what is going on below in what I have decided to term an expression of “anarchasexuality”.

This text, however, is not a dogma and will inevitably be subject both to change and to being surpassed as imagined new and better formulations emerge in interaction with others.

What this text is, then, is an always preliminary attempt to bring understanding, clarity and proposed anarchist virtues and values to a contested area of life whilst utilising an avowedly anarchist hermeneutic to do so.

All that said, therefore:

What is ANARCHASEXUALITY? I offer 13 suggestions:

The belief that sexuality and gender:

a. need not be fixed or stable;

b. manifests with more or less fixity and stability in differing people;

c. can, in some cases, be perceived as a choice;

d. is performatively reinforced and so is neither merely “genetic” or “biological”nor entirely “voluntary” or “environmental” and so is a coalition of biology and environmentally-conditioned behaviour, proclivity and disposition, choice and not choice;

f. is in all cases subject to social, cultural and epistemological coercion and constraint.

2. The anarchasexual is one who “sees through” the fictions of imposed sexualities and genders and regards such things as impositions of power/knowledge – especially in the case of its most obvious example, a heterosexual understanding of sex based on a sex binary imposed as a controlling and patriarchally-policed normativity.

This is to say that sex, gender and sexuality types are all regarded by the anarchasexual as FICTIVELY REAL and so as voluntary human categories of thought rather than as nature’s own blueprints.

For the anarchasexual, nature has no blueprints; it is a what can happen that will happen, a diversity engine, and therefore does not invite either moral or normative judgments as such, politics and culture notwithstanding.

3. Anarchasexuality recognises the reality of physical bodies of diverse kinds, each with their own physical possibilities and impossibilities [including especially intersex bodies].

e. is something that people can accept or reject as a matter of agency and affirmation;

The US Empire of a Trillion Lies.. Cannot always Fool the other Seven Billion

March 2022 Geopolitics101 Leave a comment shared with thanks

Despite US Empire’s stranglehold on information, most of the world has little trouble spotting the villain.

Biden is a killer. Here’s why..

Joe Biden’s vitriol against Vladimir Putin is so shocking to the ear that it calls your sanity into question when you listen. Did I hear this right? Is this true? He’s calling Putin a ‘thug’ and a ‘war criminal’? Genocide?

Biden: ‘Get your children vaccinated to protect themselves… the vaccines are safe and effective’

Not only is Biden directly implicated in bringing this war to fruition–this great plan of the CIA for years: to bait and bleed, to goad Russia into war with Ukraine. His administration fostered the coup that led to this.

His administration funded the Nazis knowingly–openly paid for the destruction of Ukrainians in the south and east by other Ukrainians. Led by Nazis—yes, Nazis–don’t be afraid to say the word.

Led by Nazis Aidar, Azov, Pravii Sektor, Svoboda, C14–adherents of Nazi ideology. Okay?

So not only are these Joe’s Nazis in a very real sense but this thug, this lifelong lover of murder has never condemned the policies of his own country that have led to massacre after massacre in the country after country around the globe. Never met a massacre he didn’t like, never did not support any of these wars and partial wars and sanction wars and infiltrations and invasions and domination of countless countries from A to Z.
