IonaArc is my first blog, it has the most posts. Initially it was a supplement to Knatz.com, my main personal domain. Since the fed scuttled my five domains, IonaArc became the main remnant of my work online (or off).
2011 04 06 I'm very pleased by my new LineDanceAlliance blog.
Knatz.com was my first personal domain.
Macroinformation.org was my science domain, spinning off Knatz.com's information theory (Knatz.com / Teaching / Thinking Tools / Information / Macroinformation /).
InfoAll.org was my DeDe domain: DeRegulate — DeProfessionalize — Deschool: the three being my simplification/expansion of Ivan Illich's "deschooling."
AgainstHierarchy.org was the domain I initiated to give space apart from Knatz.com for the Knatz.com / Teaching / Society / subfolder Social Order /.
All five domains were destroyed by fed censorship in 2007 Feb.
The name AgainstHierarchy was intended to suggest opposition to factitious, politically-imposed hierarchines. Our idea of "the tree of life," or "vertibrates" reflect natural hierarchy. I'm all for it. Churches, temples, represent an idea of magical hierarchy — a creator, a boss, owning everything: I used to be for that. But The Church, this nation, the FBI, the army ... represent politically imposed hierarchies. I'm against all of them (and so should you be if you want surviving great grandchildren).
Knatz.com had nearly three thousand text files, posts I call modules, all hyperlinked, all part of a coherent view of life, the world, learning, wisdom ... survival opportunities: and thousands of graphics: logos, drawings, photos, art ... Knatz.com also republished persecuted and hard to find books: Illich's Deschooling Society, for example. Factitious hierarchies, from the school and university education system, to the the publishing industry, to plain old social homeostasis (tarring and feathering the god, the genius, the saint), the same system that elevated Pilat over Jesus, the Temple over God, had made sure than my teaching didn't transmit. My 1970 Free Learning Exchange, unlike my scholarship (or fiction) of the 1960s, found ready free publicity (hard cash needed to build infrastructure: an unregulated internet), but by 1973, FLEX had been successfully hooded. Fewer and fewer learned about our offering (even though volunteers increased for a while!) The government and its cronies, media and so forth, had successfully kept its sheeple in the dark: exactly the way the Temple kept God's new messages from the old faithful 2000 years ago.
Fed jails tortured me into confessing. My public "defender" passed on the government's threat to jail me for forty or more years, me being then sixty-eight years old, going deaf, half-blind, and wholly broke: a pariah for a lifetime: unemployable: partly due to my obligation to god (my promise to serve Christian conviviality by opposing all government coercion: after I'd made an alternate learning system functional (my efforts there sabotaged). This lawyer, admitting that he "may burn in hell for this," that is for not passing my perspective, relevant facts, to the court, freeing the court to pursue its persecution based on misinformation and blocked-information: he saw that I am a disciple of Ivan Illich and that we were a pair of disciples of Christ, but he would do nothing to disabuse the court from the false testimony of the FBI. (The FBI substituted its document, stitched from my words, but not being my prose, not being my meaning, missing my meaning.) I had seen my most important remaining opportunity to lie in staging a last hurrah for deschooling, using my trial as the stage. But no. My lawyer convinced me that nothing of the kind would happen. The fed would convince the common citizenry of Palm Beach, the county I'd be tried in, that I was a terrorist, plain and simple. No mention of deschooling would be allowed. The jury would not hear of my experience in university where not a thing I tried to communicate was received by the powers, the faculty, the administration, the student body. (Imagine a church in which the priests heard only Your sins and Never the Church itself's sins!)
I confessed believing it to be the quickest route to getting back on line, to add my experiences with the fed at Knatz.com (and elsewhere, as appropriate). But the FBI stole my computers. They were no longer properly synchronized once they returned them. The FBI had the key to my house, they ransacked everything. I still have some of my evidence against the system, against NYU, for example, but there's no telling what the FBI stole that I haven't discovered yet, may never discover (and if I don't, who will?) Anyway: the fed broke me, already broken, as they intended to. They wasted my last couple of thousand dollars. Now I'm on welfare: healthy, but helpless. I can't afford DSL. I can't afford to remount one let alone five domains.
I've been recreating some of Knatz.com files at my blogs. IonaArc was my first. Now there are a dozen or more. I'll list them in a moment: different blogs have different specialties, just as did different folders at Knatz.com.
The domain Knatz.com was originally purchased by my son, bkMarcus (Brian Knatz Marcus), intended as a birthday gift. Somehow title never transferred, which turned out to be a good thing.

There's also a paulknatz blog at WordPress.com, but I haven't yet decided what, if anyting, to do with it.
Properly, with a smidgeon of funding, I'd reestablish everything at at resurrected Knatz.com! and grow it from there.
