A Note On Readership

This month--the Center's first since an extended lay-off--has been its best ever for site traffic. Although a substantial number of our visitors come from other sites that graciously link to the C.S.A., the largest bloc of readers have no referring link, a good sign that the C.S.A. is building its own committed audience.

The distribution of visitors to the site is also heartening. Although focused primarily on matters within the United States, in just the last week the C.S.A. has received visits from readers in at least 26 different countries. A special shout out goes to our readers in Bahrain and Egypt!

We'd also like to say "Hello!" to our readers in Quantico, West Point, and Annapolis; hopefully you are disaffected soldiers or people resisting the presence of giant military complexes in your town rather than military intelligence officers. If you are soldiers looking for something better to do with your lives, know that there is a community waiting to lend its support, friendship, and solidarity should you choose to end your military career. If you are people resisting militarism in communities overwhelmed by its dominance, your work is vital and we hope that what you've read here has strengthened your efforts. If you are military intelligence officers, you too can build better lives for yourselves, but only by abandoning your loyalty to the forces of misery; in the meantime, we'll continue encouraging the soldiers around you to have second thoughts about their own loyalties to their officers.

And to the FBI agents who haven't bothered hiding your IP addresses when visiting this site, you're a bunch of fucking amateurs.

So, a big "thank you" to all of the C.S.A.'s readers who aren't cops! Keep coming back and please pass along our address to your friends; your support and enthusiasm is greatly appreciated.
