Hola, welcome to ATI it is 1pm
|
|
DUESDAY, End of April, 1998.
|
|
We begin with a missive.
|
|
(of course we end with a missive and we meddle with a massive.)
|
|
Read on. There will be no numbers run this week and no calendula.
|
|
It is today, that's all you need to know. There is a full-scale war
|
|
going on in Mexico right now. And it will not be containable despite
|
|
any attempts at a news blackout.
|
|
What will bring it home? Read on.

Shouts to: Yelena, Howard, Cecilia and the young girl
|
|
on the Amtrak who cried, prayed for me, and
|
|
wished me luck when she said goodbye.
|
|
April 28. Saddam "Gamorah" Hussein, happy b-day!!!
|

Yes, and happy jail-day Larry Flynt.

PAWN - (WASH) Anarchist Laureate's 2 Hour Guitar Performance for President
|
|
Receives Polite Reception but Remains Quite Uneventful. (oops, strike the
|
|
word "quite." looks too much like opinion instead of hard news. (t.i.c.)
|
|
"He never made a pass at me," said Prime Anarchist of the 3am classical
|
|
and folk guitar concert Saturday night at the White House. (for you newshounds,
|
|
it's naturally a different name he performed under. Happy hunting...)
|
|
"I mean he never so much as touched my shoulder or my leg or anything.
|
|
Anarchist said the Clintons do have some strange customs however.
|
|
"Along with clapping," he said, "they like to turn the lights out and then
|
|
back on twice after each song."
|
|
When asked what it felt like to play guitar for the President of the US,
|
|
Anarchist said, "That Bill; he sure is one good hugger.

OVER 1000 CONVERGE ON WHITE HOUSE TO CLOSE DOWN
|
|
U.S. ARMY SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS
|
|
|
|
Over 1000 people came together in front of the White House yesterday to urge
|
|
President Clinton to close the U.S. School of
|
|
the Americas. Ordinary Americas from New York, Michigan, Ohio,
|
|
California, Texas, Oregon, Florida and area states as well
|
|
as human rights activists from Latin America joined together
|
|
to hear the reports of the murderous activities of the SOA-trained
|
|
alumnae.
|
|
|
|
The Latin American speakers included Mario Murillo, Colombian Host of
|
|
Radio Talk Show "Our Americas", Jesus Alemancia,
|
|
Panamanian Center for Study and Social Action, and Carlota Garcia,
|
|
representative of the National Commissioner for Human
|
|
Rights in Honduras.
|
|
|
|
North American speakers also spoke out. Allan Nairn, journalist and
|
|
coordinator of Justice for All recounted his experiences in
|
|
Indonesia as well as Latin America with the SOA connections, and Jack Nelson
|
|
Pallmeyer from the Dept. of Peace Studies at
|
|
the University of St. Thomas and author of School of Assassins provided more data.
|
|
|
|
The noon to 5:00 PM rally at Lafayette Park was sponsored by SOA Watch,
|
|
long a persistent critic of the School.
|
|
|
|
Many of the SOA Watch supporters, including several who are awaiting
|
|
sentencing for civil disobedience actions at Fort
|
|
Benning, will vigil and be available to speak to the press Monday and
|
|
Tuesday on the Capitol Steps (10:00AM-6:00PM) and
|
|
will lobby their Congresspersons during the afternoon. Participants will
|
|
be seeking more co-sponsors for S980 and HR611,
|
|
which if passed would immediately close the SOA.
|
|
|
|
Senator Richard Durbin and Representative Joe Kennedy, the sponsors of the
|
|
two bills, will hold a press conference on Tuesday, April 27 at 4:00PM.
|
|
|
|
While North Americans are vigiling on the Capitol steps, there will be
|
|
simultaneous vigils at US Embassies in 12 Latin American countries.
|
|
|
|
The School of the Americas is a U.S. Army training facility widely
|
|
known as the "School of the Assassins" because of its
|
|
graduates' widespread, large-scale human rights abuse.

PROCLAMATION - 1998
|
|
|
|
Be it heretofore resolved,
|
|
I, Prime Anarchist, declare 10pm Guatemala: Nunca Mas Minute.
|
|
|
|
So what were you doing Friday night around 10pm?
|
|
I was preparing myself for a trip via Amtrak to Washington DC.
|
|
75 year old Juan Jose Gerardi Conedera was finishing up public
|
|
release of a book "Guatemala: Nunca Mas."
|
|
My friend Shelly was beginning her trip from Wisconsin to the
|
|
same place I was going. Washington DC to sing for Bill. Well, among
|
|
other things. I won't ask what you were doing Saturday right around
|
|
10. It was the normal mundane things for all of us. You, Shelly,
|
|
Monsenor Gerardi and me.
|
|
Sunday night around 10 pm. What were you doing? Shelly and I were
|
|
singing folksongs around a campfire somewhere just outside of DC.
|
|
We had spent the day on the Whitehouse lawn gathering with a couple
|
|
thousand people from all over the world to discuss many things, but
|
|
primarily assassinations, murders and human rights violations that
|
|
have been happening the last few years on our watch.
|
|
Yes. Every one of us.
|
|
Back to what were you doing at 10 pm Sunday night? Gerardi, the
|
|
Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Guatemala was getting his
|
|
head bashed in with a large piece of cement until he died in a pool
|
|
of his blood in his very own garage.
|
|
I can assure you, within the next 10 years I will write you with
|
|
proof that his assassin was a graduate of the School of Americas in
|
|
Fort Benning, GA. For now we have to assume that this murder may or
|
|
may not be linked to SOA or even anything the least bit political.
|
|
It is 10pm Monday, April 27, 1998. In the year of our brand new
|
|
Ronald Reagan building. I am on Amtrak heading home writing this
|
|
while I weep like a child. This happened on my watch, my friend.
|
|
My taxes are up to date as of April 15, 1998 -- or was that Dec. 31
|
|
1997? No matter. For this, I believe I am partially responsible for
|
|
this 75 year old Monsenor's violent death. I believe you are fully
|
|
responsible and so is your President. We all continue sharing guilt
|
|
until we communally stop funding this abhorrance disguised as a school.
|
|
Almost 200 of the men, women and others in Congress, I mean men and
|
|
women; Republican, Democrat, and other have already expressed desire
|
|
to support shutting it down.
|
|
Tomorrow Sam Gejdenson (my hometown congressperson) will be addressing
|
|
my friends who are camping out one more night while I ride home to
|
|
prepare my dropping out of UConn with straight A's.
|
|
I hope Chris Dodd, Newtus Gingrich, Johnny Rowland and you are all savvy
|
|
enough to show up there tomorrow as well. I would be there if I could.
|
|
It's important that I spend Tuesday making $5.35 per hour retroactively
|
|
funding this vacation I just gave myself. This afternoon I met friends
|
|
of the Monsenor on the Capitol Steps. I also met two Senators, 5 Congress
|
|
People, and God knows how many high school chorus competitors who will
|
|
never be able to sing the National Anthem the same way again, having met
|
|
us, and sung with us.
|
|
Most of you will probably wonder why I didn't just spend 4 days drunk
|
|
in Middlesex dorm, University of Connecticut beating up cops and tipping
|
|
over automobiles followed by a Sunday watching bowling, golf and bad sitcoms.
|
|
Sorry, I have spent most my life feeling I'm never doing enough to
|
|
help make the world a better place. My mother and father taught me that.
|
|
My church taught me that. So did the Boy Scouts of Amerika and Groton
|
|
Heights School teachers.
|
|
Business can NEVER be "as per usual" for me ever again, my friend. I have
|
|
cried on the Capitol steps more than twice now in 10 years. How many more
|
|
times? I ask. I am now a full-time SOA shutter-upper. Wanna buy a t-shirt? =)
|
|
Never again, America. I will not let you do that again.
|
|
Not on my watch. Not in your life. Not in a million years, never again.
|
|
Groton, CT. USA. Nunca Mas! Need I say "Basta Ya???"
|
|
10pm will never be the same again for me. I will blink some number of tears
|
|
each night for a 75 year old man who never hurt anybody in his whole life who
|
|
is now deader than a doornail. Almost deader than 4 nuns and an Archbishop
|
|
in 1980.
|
|
It's 10pm - do you know where your tax dollars are?

HOW TO WIN REPUBLICANS AND HERD HUMANS. by William Repherd.
|
|
What do Barrett, Fawell, Foley, Greenwood, Johnson, Klug, LaTourette,
|
|
Quinn, Ramstad, Upton and Walsh all have in common?
|
|
a) All Republicans
|
|
b) Already voted to shut down the SOA
|
|
c) Only Congresspeople to be or do both a), and b).
|
|
Remember, Republicans are like cows. A little slower to respond, but they
|
|
smile a lot and their hearts are in the right place sometimes.
|
|
If your Republican is not on that list - talk with them.
|
|
Remember to speak up, many wear 4 hearing aids, and do talk slowly
|
|
although not dumb, they do tend to be a little sluggish, but docile.

|
|
|
|
Dear Ambassador Planty:
|
|
|
|
I was deeply saddened and troubled to hear this morning of the murder last
|
|
night of Auxiliary Bishop Juan Gerardi Conodera.
|
|
|
|
As you know, the bishop's murder coincides with the public release of the
|
|
report of the REMHI Project, headed by the monsignor, on Friday. Although
|
|
complete information is not yet available, it would seem more than reasonable
|
|
to believe that this is no coincidence.
|
|
|
|
Guatemalan officials have in recent years tended to blame "common crime" for
|
|
crimes with apparent or possible political motivations. It is my understanding
|
|
that you have already personally concluded that this case does not fall into
|
|
that category.
|
|
|
|
I urge you to make clear to officials of the Guatemalan government that Members
|
|
of Congress will expect a full, complete, and exhaustive investigation of this
|
|
brutal assassination, to determine not only who carried out the killing, but
|
|
also to determine who else may have been involved.
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your attention to my concern.
|
|
Sincerely,
|
|
|
|
Constance Morella

|
ginsbergian poem in free-verse with really good rhythm in honor of

|
the newly dead poet.
|
|
|
|
America I've given you all and now I'm nothing.
|
|
America I misplaced a 720K floppy, mine. Can't find it.
|
|
Will it turn up? Hopingly.
|
|
March 13, 1997. I definitely can't stand my own mind.
|
|
America when will we rid ourselves of all violence and
|
|
Naked agression?
|
|
Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb.
|
|
I feel shitty, leave me alone.
|
|
I'm like a wound with legs.
|
|
I'll write the rest of this borrowing heavily
|
|
When I'm good and readily.
|
|
America when will we be free?
|
|
When will you take off your clothes?
|
|
When will you stop eating people?
|
|
America why are your libraries full of fears?
|
|
America when will you send food unconditionally to everybody?
|
|
I'm sick of your insane demands.
|
|
When can I go somewhere and buy something with my looks?
|
|
There must be some other way to live than consumption.
|
|
You are machinery America. Nothing more.
|
|
Ginsberg is dead and I steal his posies gladly.
|
|
Ring around your holier-than thous. I spit on your Tupperware coffin.
|

|
Well, Til Eulenspiegel doesn't like it so

|
Free Leonard Peltier he keeps embarrassing me. As do Mumia Abu Jamal.
|
|
I'm proud to be America? I'm horny for justice America.
|
|
I haven't seen democracy in my lifetime.
|
|
SHUT DOWN THE CRANDON MINE AND GET YOUR PENIS OUT OF NAVAHOPI LANDS.
|
|
America I used to be an anarchist when I was young and stupid.
|
|
Now I'm balding and cynical and horny for nonviolent revolution.
|
|
If I knew how to overthrow your sorry ass conflict-oriented International
|
|
Insecurity State without tanks and squadrons I'd've done it a decade ago.
|
|
I'm proud to be an American just as I'm proud to be an anarchist.
|
|
America my mind is made up of LSD, potassium, salt, fibroptics, silocon
|
|
and seminary school.
|
|
America I'm a jew and I'm a Christian but your jews for jesus movement
|
|
Pisses me off.
|
|
America I still haven't told you what you did to me when I came back from
|
|
The Persian Gulf.
|
|
I'm sick of your dumb smartbombs and your news blackouts and your dead civilians
|
|
By the Chinook-130-load
|
|
I'm addressing you, you fagbashing homophobe.
|
|
Are you going to let your emotional life be run by Turner Network Television?
|
|
Oh I see, America, your new boyfriend is Bill Gates.
|
|
I'm obsessed by Bill Gates. I want to lick his DOS.
|
|
It occurs to me that I am Bill Gates.
|
|
I am talking to myself again. I do that.
|
|
America how can I write anything but this shit when you still hold your
|
|
Itchy Finger on a Plutonium 239 trigger?
|
|
America I know the Unabomber. He used to log onto my BBS.
|
|
America Captain Crunch is a little weird but he's really a nice guy.
|
|
Leave him alone and stop eavesdropping on his emails to me.
|
|
America you are guilty of wirefraud. How do I press charges against
|
|
America? You'll just have me killed or something. Or worse, waste taxpayers
|
|
Dollars following me 3 Ford LTD's deep.
|
|
America go ahead and put Taco Bell on the Rio Grande.
|
|
America when I was 10 my mother and father brought me to hippy church
|
|
Be Ins and I had sex with teenage girls. Don't knock my mother and father
|
|
They are the best Republicans you've got.
|
|
America you don't really want any more wars.
|
|
Stop stockpiling diseases.
|
|
America we're one antibiotic away from mass oblivian.
|
|
Cut it out with the Bovine Growth Hormones and the pig enzymes in cheddar
|
|
Cheese.
|
|
America this is quite serious. There are lots of people who are way too
|
|
Fat and way too thin and they can't help themselves because they watch
|
|
Too much David Letterman and Thighmaster commercials.
|
|
America am I right?
|
|
Are we going to wipe ourselves out in 2003?
|
|
Will we take all of the beautiful innocent animals with us?
|
|
Have we lost all our topsoil like Rome?
|
|
America I await Vatican III in 3D.
