Hey!!! Hey!!! Hey!!! It's ATI 84. The George Orwell Memorial Issue.

June 4, '97. a poem by Punkin. Allouez, WI 1997.
|
|
Emotionless dehumanization,
|
|
Slaves to consumerism;
|
|
Sweat stings the naked eye,
|
|
And your gut wrenches:
|
|
As the sickening smell of
|
|
Factory fumes invade your lungs-
|
|
The unborn remain so,
|
|
Robots not capable of childbirth.
|
|
Are you the manufacturer,
|
|
Or the manufactured?

Senate Votes to Block Bomb-Making Info
|
|
by Rebecca Vesely
|
|
|
|
The Senate has voted 94-0 to tack onto a
|
|
Defense Department spending bill an amendment that would
|
|
prohibit the distribution of bomb-making instructions in the
|
|
United States.
|
|
|
|
Although the word "Internet" is not mentioned in the four-page
|
|
amendment, the legislation would outlaw Web sites, newspapers,
|
|
zines, and books that publish instructions on how to make a
|
|
bomb - such as The Anarchist's Cookbook and The Terrorist
|
|
Handbook. Violators would face fines and prison sentences of
|
|
up to 20 years.
|
|
|
|
Sponsored by Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-California), who has
|
|
been trying to get the legislation on the books since 1995, the
|
|
amendment passed Thursday is narrowly written to include only
|
|
the distribution of material that has an "intent to harm."

Not many letters to the editor this week. Two I couldn't print because I

couldn't read them. Makes me wonder if they were letters to the editor or

hate mail. As usual, address all lettuce to:

Since the railroading of Marcus Garvey, there have been certain
|
|
sinister forces of the United States government who have gone to
|
|
great lengths to deceive, and manipulate the minds of the people. I am
|
|
living proof of what they are capable of.
|
|
|
|
Since my emancipation, I have been overcome with bitter-sweet emotions.
|
|
After being released from almost a lifetime of imprisonment, I am still
|
|
not completely liberated and cannot be while my comrade,
|
|
Mumia Abu-Jamal, is still a victim of this ongoing collusion.
|
|
|
|
I can personally attest to his character and integrity. I met him in the
|
|
60s. He was working in the Philadelphia chapter at the time and over
|
|
the years, he has become like a younger brother to me. I urge you, I
|
|
appeal to you all to use that same strength that enabled you to support
|
|
me for almost three decades, and direct it towards Mumia's struggle.
|
|
With your help, I never lost hope, with all of you fighting for me on the
|
|
outside, my spirit was strong enough to sustain everything it needed
|
|
to persevere on the inside.
|
|
|
|
I thank you for everything you have done for me, and for everything you
|
|
continue to do for Mumia. Together . . . we will rise above it all.
|
|
|
|
Peace,
|

|
|
I was hoping to report on this within three weeks. But the
|
|
response has been so quick so far I'm going to tally this up EVERY WEEK
|
|
for three and then go from there. You can say that this literary experiment
|
|
worked wonderfully.
|
|
For those of you just tuning in, what we did was we started last week's
|
|
issue with a little piece about Paddle To The Sea the famous 1940's kiddie
|
|
adventure novel about a 4-foot long canoe that got dropped off in the great
|
|
lakes and "paddled" his way out to the Atlantic Ocean. Complete with map
|
|
and everything. Well the experiment was to see how quickly it could make it
|
|
to the eastern US seaboard.
|
|
Was I impressed. Faster than I could've predicted. 2 days, old Paddle
|
|
made his way to the Atlantic Ocean.
|
|
So here it is so far. First report was from Columbus, Ohio. Probably
|
|
bumped into that NinaPinSanMary replica they did in '92. Second bullet came
|
|
in from Detroit, MI.; no doubt where Paddle must've escaped those big huge
|
|
circular saws. Of course if a US Government agent was on his tail and
|
|
wanted to make it look like Earth First!ers were to blame s/he could've
|
|
spiked that canoe and all hell would've broke loose, right? But that's
|
|
a whole other story... we won't go there. By they way, Detroit forwarded it
|
|
to a webpal in Denver so we await hearing from him or her.
|
|
Next we were told that we reached NYC. Bingo. Atlantic seaboard. Made it.
|
|
"But I'm not going to forward it to anyone since I didn't find the content
|
|
too interesting." Well at least he was honest.
|
|
Finally, Ole Paddle made his way to Calgary. "also, loved the poem and
|
|
agreed with its perspective," for those of us looking for feedback. I coulda
|
|
put that quote in letters to the editor, but decided it fit nicely just here.
|
|
So now I can't wait to see where Paddle ends up next. If you've never
|
|
read Paddle To The Sea, by the way, add it to your summer "climb a tree and
|
|
read a bunch of new books today" list. You'll find it fun, fascinating
|
|
and full of fodder for full-grown adults as well as the little foo-fighters
|
|
it was originally written for.
|
|
|
|
Next is a neat book review. You ready?
|
|
"WHO IN HELL...: A Guide To The Whole Damned Bunch," by Sean Kelly & Rosemary
|
|
Rogers.
|
|
Put as succinctly as I can, this book is an alphabetized list of everyone
|
|
these authors believe got a reserved seat in "the hot town." The Abyss
|
|
perhaps. Including the guy who threw his daughter down a well in a Violent
|
|
Femmes album.
|
|
Agamemnon's there, as is Aaron Burr. You'll find Hitler and Mussolini,
|
|
Elpinore's not there. He was just dumb. There's no place in hell for dumb
|
|
people, unless they just never learn. That's your ticket to points worse
|
|
still than the Abyss. Cerberus is there and also Joan Crawford and Father
|
|
Coughlin (who by the way, are since married. Going on 70 years now.)
|
|
Now, George Custer's there and so are the Knights Templar. But where's old
|
|
Rough and Longhaired Kit Carson? And Kristoffer Kolumbus for that matter.
|
|
OK, so this book is just too politically schmorrect for its own good. But it
|
|
was a fun-to-read.
|
|
Who knows, you might even meet a friend.
|
|
"Thus it appears that even sins go in and out of fashion. It has been five
|
|
hundred years since Dante described an Inferno full of alchemists, barrators,
|
|
diviners, panderers, simonists, and userers. Where in Hell, we may well ask,
|
|
are the NRA lobbyists, urban renewers, strip-miners, (ed: strip-mallers for
|
|
that matter) paparazzi, on-line child pornographers, draft dodgers,
|
|
infomercial producers, crack dealers, New Age gurus, tax cheats, self-help
|
|
quacks, concentration camp commandants, and causers of gridlock?" (ed: strip-
|
|
mallers again???)
|
|
That from the preface of said book. Happy reading.

If you ever get to Green Bay, WI in your lifetime - not that you'd want

Go down Asland, Ave. and then take a right onto Tennis CT.

I kid you not.

It's there. Of course this from a town that also has "Easy ST" listed in
|

the directory. My friend Rich tells me he grew up there...
