Was looking for information about Hakim Bey (author of Temporary Autonomous Zone and other shit) being a paedophile, something I've heard from a few places.

Found some articles of his he wrote for the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA - which I had thought was invented by South Park), and also this discussion on indymedia

http://www.melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2005/01/86383_comment.php

The response to the the article is incredible!!

Quote:
Anti-paedophilia is an expression of cultural prejudice.

WTF?!!!

I had heard from Chicago anarchists too that the founder of an anarchist bookshop there banned all discussion of NAMBLA books being sold there - anyone know what the deal is?

Has Hakim Bey ever been tried or convicted of anything? Or just written stuff?

How is this shit permitted to be associated with anarchism in the US?

If you google "hakim bey" + convicted, you come up with a couple of pieces from the journal "Anarchy," written by the HB during his time of imprisonment for paedo-noncery.

Unfortunately, I couldn't open the pages or post the links due to the nature of what I do for a living, which involves getting unsolicited e-mails & phonecalls from paedo-nonces other than Hakim Bey bragging about abusing their kids.

Beat poet Alan Ginsberg was a member of NAMBLA too....

"Attacks on NAMBLA stink of politics, witchhunting for profit, humorlessness, vanity, anger and ignorance ...

I'm a member of NAMBLA because I love boys too -- everybody does, who has a little humanity."

NAMBLA or Hakim Bey is definitely not associated with any responsible stream of anarchism in the united states, only lifestylism here or there. the crap he writes is pretty irrelevant. it's not like he's trying to revive anarcho-communism with a paedophile tradition. i think the problem is he hasn't been called out on his paedophilia, so he still hangs around the periphery of anarchism in the u.s. this is the first i've heard about it! interesting....

He writes for crimethinc though, if somehow you could expose crimethinc as his man-boy legion of paedophiles i would love you forever.

True enough. But the last time I looked, they didn't have The Da Vinci Code, and that definitely sells.

Generally anarchist book sales don't benefit the authors at all...

clearly his wish to interpret and understand sexual need and behaviour doesn't relate to adults, its the sexual romantisism of children that does it for him. pity for the kids hes around that a lot of people seem to think hes god.

i don't think freedom should sell his shit whether it benefits the authors or not.

I can't seem to find anything that said Bey was convicted for noncing, plenty of stuff where he defends it, though, the sick fuck.

Quick tip - google under his real name Peter Lamborn Wilson as well and you'll turn up a lot more damning info including stuff on LWs mag Wild Children: A Zine For Kids:

I worked in a email centre last year and my job was to respond to emails for Amazon.com, quite a few were complaints about Amazon carrying NAMBLA's periodical. We had a standardised response about Amazon being against censorship and that Amazon was not responsible for the content etc etc. Some of the complaints were well good, don't remember anyone emailing about it's availability.

They still list some NAMBLA published material >> link here but it's outta stock haha.

>> link here

Unfortunately there's no complaints or reviews for either.

Hey all those anarcho paedos sound like that fella outta that shite Anarchist Cookbook film.

i agree - it's not really releavant whether he gets any money or not, it's more whether you want to see londons premier anarchist bookshop/distributor seen as being soft on pedononcery

it's not censorship as you wouldnt be attacking others who distribute it, though you would then be able to criticise them of course

Look thaw, what on Earth are you talking about. You know absolutely nothing about Freedom whatsoever, or Hakim Bey. You come one here, talk some rubbish, maybe say some ridiculous racist comment or other but then spin the admins a story to be soft on you. You're talking crap again, and for what?

Has anyone actually emailed Freedom bookshop ( shop AT freedompress.org.uk it says on the site) to ask them? If not then don't pretend that you actually care

edited to add - actually while CAG, now CSG, were working at Freedom they removed all his books from the shelves. No idea what the current state of play is myself. As far as I'm concerned it shouldn't be there cos it's just shite.

I've just e-mailed them.

Referred to this thread and the article butchers posted, refrained from posting my own views on him (which were pretty bad before any mention of paedophilia was made). Will see what happens. If I get some liberal crap as a response they'll get a much longer and very nasty e-mail back again.

I was wondering about how this tosser is allowed to have anything to do with us... and TBH maybe this is why - I didn't want to post this thread, cos it associates anarchists with nonces, albeit only one nonce. And maybe I thought it'd be best to ignore so as not to let it known that a high-profile anarchist is a nonce. But fuck it, the guy's a nonce, he should be told to fuck off.

What can we do?

Try and demand that all anarchist bookshops/sites stop selling his stuff or hosting his articles? Has he ever had any comeback from any american anarchists?

I saw Cleaver citing TAZ in "Kropotkin, Self-Valorisation and the Crisis of Marxism" today, from 1992. He's got some weird links with shit anarchists Cleaver (Bey/Zerzan obviously, not Kropotkin).

Zerzan used to be in Zerowork, like Perlman right? He went primmo as well.

Cleaver's Bey reference was from 1992. Bey was already quite well known as a trust fund lifestylist wanker by then I think. Zerzan's maybe a bit more understandable, assuming he didn't talk shit in zerowork as well.
