This page records the earliest Forays of the Turtle into cyberspace. In March 1998, the Turtle was awoken from extremely dogmatic slumbers; in the Summer our initial Manifesto was in orbit; by Autumn the site began to take determinate shape, with the launch of the Dictionary of the Turtle and the regular Monthly Missives. A Pinochet Page was briefly published in December, then discontinued; and although the "Bolshevik Soundbite of the Week" no longer graces the front page, the best of them are now lovingly preserved in the Turtle's Adage Archive, for use in the Permanent Revolutionary Slogan Generator.
