anon@indymedia.org (Emily Henry) | 11.05.2011 11:16 | London

'Look before you leap' cannot be the motto of famous anarchist bungler Stuart Christie...who now publishes the opinions of neo-conservative war enthusiast Stephen Schwartz -- on surrealism and Spanish anarchism! -- bad politics makes for strange bedfellows!<!-- <center></center><br /> -->

Gullible and not terribly bright Scottish anarchist Stuart Christie, immortalized in the pantheon of famous incompetent anarchists for getting busted, while hitchiking, and simultaneously carrying explosives, while wearing a plaid skirt, across the nether regions of Francoist Spain, now publishes neo-conservative Nicaraguan Contra cheerleader Stephen Schwartz in his journal "Arena Two: Noir Fiction." Publisher: PM Press. Publication date: Feb. 1, 2011, ISBN: 9781604862140

A short bio of Christie's "Arena Two" contributer Schwartz, characterized by dean of U.S. anthropologists Clifford Geertz as "...a strange and outlandish figure..." in an article titled, "Which Way To Mecca," ('The New York Review of Books,' July 3, 2003)
