“As somebody who considers the State to be nothing more than a criminal syndicate pursuing a monopoly, I consider sedition to be a fine and noble calling worthy of all decent and Godly people. But statists of the conservative stripe engage in purely situational sedition: They want to undermine our present crop of rulers in order to replace them, not to abolish State impositions on liberty.”
Will Grigg

Nothing when you google his name except the regular 'choir' sites like Rockwell and Nolan.

I am concerned that Sam has lost SO MUCH WEIGHT.  I was thinking it over this morning.  The normal process of a fast is the first ~three days, you're hungry and your body is tearing down everything to get vital nutrients.  After this initial period, your body switches into a protein saving mode - you're not hungry and you're not breaking down your body that fast.  This second mode especially conserves vital tissue in organs and such.  I'm really concerned that Sam drinking the milk only has kept him out of that second mode.  He's awfully thin now.  Does he plan to die if they don't let him out?

I am concerned that Sam has lost SO MUCH WEIGHT.

The paper mis-quoted him (likely mis-heard him) and reported 116 lbs when he said 160 lbs. So he had lost a lot of weight- 20 lbs from his starting weight. Also, Sam ate yesterday after seeing the article. I think he felt like the media was finally responding in the way he had hoped the hunger strike would accomplish.
