But it seems time for a small update.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>First<\/strong><\/strong>, we have a couple of public areas in the forum, to give a small taste. I&#8217;ve just posted a copy of this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clairescabal.com\/forum\/index.php?topic=346.0\" target=\"_blank\">excellent article by Silver<\/a> where anyone can see it. If you thought you knew every malign effect of the Federal Reserve, he describes one you probably hadn&#8217;t considered.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>Second<\/strong><\/strong>, we&#8217;re in the process of starting up a &#8220;Members Helping Members&#8221; section where volunteers can offer assistance with anything from transportation and a place to stay to professional advice. Just announced it today and will be developing it with suggestions from Cabal members and the tech wisdom of Bill St. Clair.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>Third<\/strong><\/strong>, We also now offer large discounts for membership renewals. (Renewals only; so you&#8217;ll have something to look forward to if you join up.)<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>Fourth<\/strong><\/strong>, this isn&#8217;t new, but I try to post a handful of items in the Downloads and Articles pages every month. In Downloads you&#8217;ll now find (among other things) both the manuscript copy and a film script of <em>RebelFire: Out of the Gray Zone<\/em> and both of Joel Simon&#8217;s terrific <em>Walt&#8217;s Gulch<\/em> novels (special editions, updated for the Cabal). In December, I&#8217;ll be uploading Joel&#8217;s little book on homemade solar power. All these are free to Cabal members.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>Finally<\/strong><\/strong>, if you&#8217;re one of the people who earned a free membership by donating to last summer&#8217;s fundraiser and you haven&#8217;t joined yet, jump right in. There are only a couple of you, but your free-membership coupons will expire at the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>The Cabal is a small, intimate place. We have only 70 or so members and not all of them are active. But it&#8217;s a place for do-ers and it&#8217;s filled with smart, experienced people who know what they&#8217;re doing when it comes to living and thinking free. While some of us are &#8220;elders,&#8221; there&#8217;s also a strong contingent of 30- and 40-somethings who are doing big things, sometimes in their own lives, and sometimes in liberty activism. All in all, a great place to be, to enjoy, and to learn.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clairescabal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Have a look around<\/a> and consider joining in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t mention Claire&#8217;s Cabal much.
