John Moore (1957 - October 27, 2002) was a British anarchist author, teacher and organiser. He died after collapsing on his way to work as a creative writing lecturer at the University of Luton (now the University of Bedfordshire). A member of the Anarchist Research Group in London in the 1980s, he was one of the main theorists of the pro-Situ anarchism of the 1990s (most commonly associated with Hakim Bey), and was attracted to Anarcho-primitivism in particular; his best known work is the essay "A Primitivist Primer." Despite the heavy influence of theorist Fredy Perlman, Moore later renounced primitivism and turned to theorists of language and subjectivity, such as Julia Kristeva, Friedrich Nietzsche and Max Stirner.
During his lifetime he published several short books: Anarchy and Ecstasy, Lovebite, and The Book of Levelling. An anthology he was working on at the time of his death, I Am Not A Man, I Am Dynamite! Friedrich Nietzsche and the Anarchist Tradition, was completed by Spencer Sunshine and published posthumously by Autonomedia in 2004.
John Moore (1729 - 21 January 1802) was a Scottish physician and writer.
He was born at Stirling, the son of a clergyman. After taking his medical degree at Glasgow, he served with the army in Flanders during the Seven Years' War, then proceeded to London to continue his studies, and eventually to Paris, where he was attached to the household of the British ambassador. In 1792 he accompanied Lord Lauderdale to Paris, and witnessed some of the principal scenes of the Revolution. His Journal during a Residence in France (1793) is the careful record of an eye-witness, and is frequently referred to by Carlyle. He died in London on 21 January 1802.
John Moore (1788-1867) was an American statesman and planter from Louisiana. He served in the U.S. Congress from 1840 to 1843 and again from 1851 to 1853. He was a life long member of the Whig Party.
Moore was born in 1788 in Berkeley County, Virginia (now in West Virginia). He moved to Franklin, Louisiana, and was elected to the state House of Representatives for St. Mary Parish in 1825. He held that seat until 1834. He was first elected to the U.S. Congress to replace Rice Garland and took his seat on December 17, 1840. He was re-elected in the general election and served until March 3, 1843.
Moore moved to Iberia Parish and married Mary Weeks, widow of the builder of the plantation Shadows-on-the-Teche. He was elected to the U.S. Congress again in 1850, serving a single term in 1851-1853; he was the last Whig elected to Congress from Louisiana. In 1861 Moore was a delegate to the Louisiana secession convention. He died in Franklin, Louisiana on June 17, 1867 and was buried on his estate.
John Moore (April 26 1730 - January 18 1805), was a priest in the Church of England. He became bishop of Bangor (1774-1783) and subsequently Archbishop of Canterbury from 1783 to 1805.
John Colinton Moore AO (born 16 November 1936), Australian politician, was a Liberal member of the Australian House of Representatives for over 25 years, and Defence Minister from 1998 to 2001.
Moore was born in Rockhampton, Queensland. He was raised on a cattle station (or ranch) west of Bowen. His early education was through the Australian correspondence system used for isolated families. He finished his secondary education at The Southport School, an Anglican boarding school for boys, before entering the University of Queensland (UQ). Moore graduated from UQ with a Bachelor of Commerce with additional study in Accounting.
Before he entered politics, Moore had a very successful career as a businessman and stock broker. He spent four years (1960-1963) with A.R. Walker & Co. before forming his own brokerage (John Moore & Company) in 1964. He was a member of the Brisbane Stock Exchange from 1961 until 1974. He grew his firm into the largest single trader business in Queensland, opening offices in regional centers there and in New South Wales.
He also held directorship or board membership in a number of Australian companies, such as Brandt Limited and Phillips. He was a board member of the Australian subsidiary of some multinational investment firms including Merrill Lynch and Citigroup.
Moore became a member of the Liberal Party in 1964, and by 1966 was serving in its state Executive Committee in Queensland. He was President of the Queensland Party twice; from 1973 to 1976 and again from 1984 to 1990. By party rules this also made him a member of the Federal Executive Committee (FEC) of the party. Indeed, he served on the FEC in one role or another for almost thirty years.
Moore was elected to the Australian House of Representatives for the Division of Ryan in Brisbane in 1975. His first ministerial office was during the fourth government formed by Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser when he was Minister for Business and Consumer Affairs from 1980 to 1982. He was forced to resign from this portfolio when it was shown that fellow minister Ian MacKellar had brought a television into Australia without paying customs duty and that Moore as the minister responsible for the Customs Department had failed to adequately respond to a report of the incident.
While the Labor governments of Bob Hawke and Paul Keating where in power from 1983 until 1996 Moore served in the opposition's Shadow Cabinet for several key ministries including Finance, Industry and Commerce, and Communications.
In March 1996 Moore joined the Cabinet in the new Coalition government of John Howard, as Minister for Minister for Industry, Science and Tourism and Vice-President of the Executive Council. In this position Moore had a major role in shaping new government policies affecting the motor vehicle and pharmaceutical industries. In cooperation with Industrial leaders, he created a long range policy package, "Investing for Growth."
In 1996, Moore came close to being forced to resign a ministry for the second time in his career, when it was discovered that his share holdings included significant investments which could potentially create a conflict of interest with his ministerial portfolio. These investments breached the Howard's ministerial code of conduct, but Moore was allowed to stay on.
After the 1998 elections, Moore moved to the Defence Ministry. The most significant events during this period were the deployment of forces to East Timor as a part of the U.N. peace-keeping effort and the upgrade and operationalisation of the Collins Class Submarine Fleet.
Moore's most lasting legacy within the Australian Defence Force was the White Paper Defence 2000: Our Future Defence Force, released late in his ministry. John Howard said: "The Defence White Paper is the most far-sighted reshaping of Australia’s defence capability in a generation. It would not have been possible without John Moore’s determination to improve management within Defence and also win new resources for the ADF."
When John Howard announced his cabinet reorganisation in December 2000, Peter Reith replaced Moore as Minister for Defence. Moore resigned his seat in Parliament on February 5, 2001, although he was not replaced officially as Minister of Defence until the new cabinet officers were sworn in on February 14. His resignation came at a bad time for the government, and the subsequent Ryan by-election was won by Labor.
John Moore (1662-1726) was a Baptist minister from Northampton, Britain. He published a collection of selected sermons in 1722. This was supplemented and re-published in 1854 as "Several Sermons by John Moore of Northampton." He died on January 14, 1726.
John Moore (1646-1714) was an English cleric, scholar, and book collector. He was bishop of Norwich (1691-1707) and bishop of Ely (1707-1714).
At the time of his death, Moore's collection of books and papers contained over 30,000 items, and may have been the largest in England. To celebrate his coronation, King George I caused it to be purchased intact, at a cost of 6,000 guineas, and donated to Cambridge University. Moore's library alone contained nearly twice the material in the existing University library. While some material has been removed over the years, the gift is still largely intact, and is called The Royal Library in honour of its patron.
Sir John Moore is an Australian jurist, and since 1973 has been the presiding judge of the Australian Conciliation and Arbitration Commission.

Colonel John Moore (1599-1650) was one of the regicides of King Charles I.
John Moore was born into one of the oldest noble moore families in England in 1599. By the early 1640s, John Moore (who was by now a Member of Parliament for Liverpool) was heavily involved with the early shipping trade, forging connections in Barbados. When English Civil War broke out in England in 1642, Moore pledged his allegiance to the Roundhead Parliamentarians as did most of Liverpool's burgesses, who were largely of Puritan stock. The nobles and gentry formed the bulk of the Cavaliers (who had control of both Liverpool Castle and tower), including the mayor, John Walker. The Castle and the township was handed over to Lord Derby for the Royalists.
In the May of 1643, however, John Moore and his Parliamentarian men set about routing the castle, which they succeeded, suffering only 7 dead to the Royalists' 80 dead and 300 prisoners. The Lancashire Royalist faction collapsed soon after. After the castle had been taken, John Moore assumed control of both it and the area that it encompassed, taking the title of Governor of Liverpool for himself. Cromwell rewarded him with the rank of Colonel in his Parliamentarian army and also making him Parliament's vice-admiral of Cheshire and Lancashire.
Moore's victory was not to be long lived however, and Liverpool was routed from underneath him on June 13 1644 when the Royalist Prince Rupert of the Rhine and his army of 10,000 forced an entry into the city around the area of Old Hall Street. The Parliamentarians put up a strong defence, and they took the lives of some 1,500 Royalists. By the time that Prince Rupert reached the City itself, John Moore and the remaining Parliamentary troops had already left the city via the Pool.
When Sir John Meldrum's Parliamentary forces recaptured the city six months later, John Moore found himself back in charge as Governor.
Moore was a supporter of Pride's Purge and, as well as helping to organise security arrangements at King Charles' trial. He was a signatory of the King's death warrant in 1649.
In 1649, Moore fought in Ireland against James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde and became governor of Dublin. He died of a fever there in 1650.

John Moore is an American engineer and author of fantasy and science fiction. He lives and works in Houston, Texas.
Much of Moore's early work appeared under a fuller version of his name, John F. Moore. His early stories were mostly hard-boiled science fiction. His first published story, "Sight Unseen," appeared in Aboriginal SF in 1986. His work has also seen print in New Destinies, Realms of Fantasy and Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine.
Moore's longer works have been light, humorous fantasies, which have been compared to the writings of Terry Pratchett and Robert Asprin. He was influenced to use humor in his fiction by comedian Bill Hicks when both were students at the University of Houston. At the Comedy Workshop, Moore studied the techniques of performers like Hicks, Sam Kinison, and Ellen DeGeneres to develop his own sense of comic timing and pacing.
His fantasies have been published in a number of languages other than English, notably German, Czech and Russian. The Czech version of his novel The Unhandsome Prince was actually published before the first edition in English. As for his other novels, Slay and Rescue is available in all three languages; The Unhandsome Prince in Czech and Russian, and Heroics for Beginners in Czech and German.
John Moore was an English football player (274 appearances, 13 goals) and manager who took Luton Town to a club-best seventh place in the original First Division in his only season as a manager - 1986-87. He resigned after just one season in management because he did not feel that it was the right career for him, although he later returned to Luton as a coach. He is now 1st team coach at Bedford Modern School.
His work for Luton made him a legend to Luton fans, with his continual development of talented young players such as Kelvin Davis, Emmerson Boyce, Matthew Taylor (footballer), Curtis Davies, Matthew Upson, Matthew Spring, Paul Telfer (footballer), Mark Pembridge, Scott Oakes, John Hartson and Gary Doherty, all of whom have gone on to play in the Premier League.

John Moore (1970 -) is a film director, producer, and writer. Born in Dundalk, Ireland, he went from directing commercials to making the $40 million motion picture Behind Enemy Lines. In 2006 he directed a remake of Richard Donner's The Omen, which received mixed critical feedback. He attended a technical college in Dublin where he learned the tricks of his trade, he says. In an interview he says the first film to ever scare him was Jaws followed by The Omen and Freaks. He says that remaking The Omen was a homage to Richard Donner and that Superman - another Donner film - was his inspiration and reason for being so keen to give Donner a tribute.
Moore is not known for having a pleasant and likeable demeanour whilst working, and also possesses a foul mouth, as many interviews and DVD features have revealed. He even claims on The Omen DVD, that when some film was destroyed he was sick, distraught, and destroyed parts of his apartment. However, outside of filming he appears very likeable and has been praised for his conduct in Empire magazine. He has made three feature-length films, The Omen, Flight of the Phoenix, and Behind Enemy Lines, all for Twentieth Century Fox. He is reported to be involved with the upcoming The Last Mission, but it appears Fox have that project on hiatus. Moore was also reportedly linked to X-Men: The Last Stand, though if he ever was a candidate to direct that movie remains unproven. Moore is currently attached to horror movie Virulents scheduled for release some time between 2008 and 2009. Moore is also slated to direct Max Payne, a film spin-off of the popular videogame by the same title. Work on Max Payne began in 2008.
