Description Everything you know is a lie.

Cast your mind back to when you were a child. Remember how life shone out from within? How everything was new and full of golden hope?

And then “they” got to you. The politicians – the priests – the philosophers – the parasites!

Since the birth of consciousness, hundreds of millions of human beings have been slaughtered by their fellows.

Men – women – children ... snuffed out as if their lives meant nothing.

Why? Because we look to leaders and priests and gurus and “stars” to tell us what to do instead of relying on the powers of our own sovereign minds.

They charge in blood for the privilege of ruling us.

Quoting Einstein out of context, they say that good and evil are relative; that there are no moral absolutes.

They lie. Only two laws are needed to change the entire universe: Never use initiatory force, and never cheat.

The people who run our world constantly break both.


You don’t believe me, do you? You live in a democracy. You vote for your leaders.

So tell me – what happens if you want to disobey them?

Say you don’t like the President. You object to paying taxes to support him, his family, his pets, his bodyguards and the friends he wangled jobs for. What do you do?

Or say you don’t like your taxes being used to subsidize foreign arms sales for slaughter in the third world. How can you stop it?

Vote for somebody else, whose policy is the same? Don’t vote?

The government pretends to be there to serve you. In reality, it’s there to tell you what to do.

If you refuse to obey, you’ll be investigated – arrested – criminalized.

Your assets will be seized and given to the state. You will be jailed.

Albert Einstein said that “The only justifiable purpose of political institutions is to ensure the unhampered development of the individual.”

But our institutions are the opposite. They enslave us – rule us by fear and deceit!

They’d gladly bomb us back into the stone age! They don’t want the common man to be anything but a slave!

The world has gone wrong. But I swear by every breath in my body – I will put it right again!

In harsh economic terms, there are only two kinds of people in the world: those who produce goods, services and values ... and those who don’t.

And before you say what about the old, the young, and the sick – we look after them, right? That’s what makes us human.

Intentional non-producers are parasites. To hide their parasitism, they employ the techniques of deception, coercion, and naked force.

Parasites can never create. They can only destroy.

Today, for the first time in history, the parasites outnumber the producers who support them.

They’re entering a final feeding frenzy, which will result in the ultimate evil – a totalitarian state.

Where administration bigwigs view the world from stretch limos, while families sleep in cardboard boxes –

Corrupt businessmen flourish, while honest men beg in the gutter –

Crime explodes – while decent folk are afraid to walk the streets their taxes pay for.

All human life is there – from the best to the worst, the kings in their fortresses to the scum in their sties. And all of them believe it has to be that way.

I’m going to show them that it doesn’t.

The world is collapsing. Madness flares everywhere the animal mind reclaims the conscious mind.

The religious slaughters – the inter-tribal massacres – the wars for oil – have turned our planet into a charnel pit.

Grinding poverty affects half mankind. 20 million people die each year because they’re hungry.

And who pays for the parasites who cause it all? The common man ... his wife ... their children.

The elites have always won. The common man has always lost.

Until tonight.

I merely intend to hold up a mirror, and say – “See what you are, and see what you could be.

“Mankind is poised between a future in the stars, and a future in the mud. So stop the killing – stop the lies – and let’s start living!”

Imagine – you’re a child again. Filled with innocence, and wonder, and life. Remember how good it felt?

That’s what the parasites stole from us. They bled us dry. And like sheep we lined up to give more blood.

But we can have back all that they stole, and more.

The information age provides a spotlight the parasites can’t squirm away from.

Identify them. Negate their evil. Ostracize them.

Step with me into a better world.

– Anarky
(from the Anarky miniseries)

Who is Anarky?Anarky (Lonnie Machin) is a comic book character published by DC Comics. Co-created by Alan Grant and Norm Breyfogle, he first appeared in Detective Comics #608 (November 1989) as an adversary of Batman.

He is named for his belief in Anarchism, and was partially inspired by Alan Moore's character "V" from V for Vendetta.[1] Stories revolving around Anarky often focus on political and philosophical themes.

I wish they didn't leave him as a vegetable. =[
I do like the newer costume, though. I think this pants look cool. I'm kind of glad he wasn't in spandex for a while.

With the exception of the "A" design, I don't like it. Also, the new Anarky is just another jerk villain looking for an excuse to be a jerk villain. The real Anarky actually believed and stood for something. If you agreed with him or not, you could at least respect his principles.

I was actually referring to his costume in his mini-series (The one with the wrist and ankle "wraps"). I kind of thought that costume and the first-first one were different. He wasn't using the height prop anymore. I agree that the new one is a jerk and the new-new costume looks pretty stupid.

Sorry that I didn't communicate what I was trying to say very well in my first post I hope I explained it better this time.

While I do think Renee Montoya is a good Question, I have to say I was happy with Anarky's old costume. This new one makes him look like a medieval dungeon master.

I don't like it either. Actually, I hate costume changes in general. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Rock-Raider [2009-01-05 23:03:45 +0000 UTC]

This is a pretty awesome picture. However, I'd say I was more entrigued by the words written underneath. They are totally eye-opening to the fact that this world has gone to shit because of greedy businessmen & corrupt politicians, & we enable them to do this by sitting around & doing nothing. Truly, the world needs more people like Anarky.

Thank you for reading and then commenting. When I first posted this, I was a bit disappointed that although many of my watchers loved the actual artwork, few commented on what was underneath, which was too bad considering that there are some very real truths in it that have become all to obvious in recent months. Thanks again.

Having read the miniseries, and most of Anarky's other appearances, I can only agree.

I use him in fanfic (not on DA though).

VERY nice work.

BOO!
I return and this is what you have to show me?
I have that mini-series, I also have Anarchy's first appearance, both issues. Love the character, and the fact that he started as a kid.

Excellent job, dude. I almost detect a Capullo influence, Liam Sharpe comes to mind as well. Sorry about the comparing, just the closest gauges I have to what you do.

The capullo influence is correct, i loved his work on Spawn and I never missed that "how to draw comics" insert he had monthly in Wizard!

Yes, the picture is awesome, doom, I love your work and you know it...
But sadly, I noticed that there are no comments so far on what was written in the description box.
The speech this character made mirrors exactly the situation in which the people of america are having to deal with TODAY.
Pretty sad that no one has noticed or commented on that....
