Hi I'm Prime Anarchist and this is ATI, Activist
|
||
Truth, Industries. This is issue 202. The "just
|
||
B-4 the y2k edition." MiLKenium. Heaven is truth,
|
||
your lies are your own personal hell, huh? Bring
|
||
it on peeps, bring it on. I like this transparency
|
||
routine. Good stuff. And they say, the truth shall
|
||
read you. 12dec99. Like a book.
|
||
|
||
Some say the activists won in Seattle this year.
|
||
Some say Buchanan. No one says the police state
|
||
gets the decision. Not even the police state
|
||
himself. WTO? Can you say tail up your butt?
|
||
The long dusty whining trail home?
|
||
|
||
Santa Claus is doing well. Prices are at an

all-time stagnant. There's going to be some

happy kids around this planet. They can breath

||
a little easier now that, Hey, where are all
|
||
the trees? Who shaved all the thneeds???
|
||
|
||
Can you hear it? There's a message in the air
|
||
2nite. It's loud. Generation X is yelling it.
|
||
Gen who? What? You're kidding me! Those silly
|
||
silent slackers? They said what??? To who?
|
||
You've got to be kidding me.
|
||
|
||
Purpose. Hmmm. The world may end 2morrow, and
|
||
you will die. Well you will. So will I. Someday.
|
||
Not tomorrow, not next week. For now there is
|
||
happy. Happy happy, joy joy. I put Badi Assad

would improve over the course of

RUDOLPH, THE HARD-NOSED FASCIST
|
||
By Sananda Dec 4, 1999:
|
||
|
||
You know Safir, and Cohen, and Kerik,
|
||
and Turner; Kuriansky, and Goodman,
|
||
and Osterreich and Hess.
|
||
|
||
But do you recall, the most famous
|
||
fascist of all?
|
||
|
||
Rudolph, the hard-nosed fascist
|
||
Had a very slimy nose
|
||
And if you ever saw it
|
||
You would even say it grows
|
||
|
||
All of the other fascists
|
||
Used to laugh and call him names
|
||
They would never let poor Rudy
|
||
Play in any fascist games
|
||
|
||
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
|
||
Satan came to say:
|
||
Rudolph with your nose so mean
|
||
Bust the homeless!
|
||
Make the city clean
|
||
|
||
Then all of the fascists loved him
|
||
As they shouted out with glee
|
||
Rudolph the hard-nosed fascist
|
||
You'll go down in history!

[PAWN] - Excerpts From A First Person Seattle Account.
|
||
by Prime Anarchist. Special to PAWN World Newz.
|
||
|
||
The most worthwhile first person account of Seattle's Tuesday
|
||
victory over Multinational Corporations was very long. Rather than
|
||
asking ATI's news board to consider going 50K for the next issue,
|
||
I made a quick editorial decision to cull out excerpts that I
|
||
thought were the most helpful to those of us who wish to know
|
||
what really really went on besides what the no-longer-credible
|
||
(my opinion, I stand by it) "legitimate press" may attempt to
|
||
disseminate.
|
||
The account is titled:
|
||
By a WTO Protestor.
|
||
It begins "I got on a Greyhound bus in Pittsburgh at 3:00am,"
|
||
The signature at the end has first and last name. I will only put
|
||
here that his first name is Damon. The rest of this piece is in
|
||
Damon's words. I will leave you with the following thought as you
|
||
read this. "George Orwell lives." I'm sorry if all you know about
|
||
Orwell is his big brother book, because that's not what I'm
|
||
talking about at all. You'll see.
|
||
signed,

|
||
[FIRST PERSON ACCOUNT]
|
||
From time to time ambulances would come through and the crowd
|
||
would clear a path immediately. Some protesters said,
|
||
"What if WTO delegates are sneeking in on the ambulances?"
|
||
But people came to an immediate concensus that, although that
|
||
was a possiblity, it wasn't worth risking people's safety.
|
||
Suddenly, a WTO delegate made it unnoticed through our lines.
|
||
But when he made it to police they refused to let him enter.
|
||
They turned back another delegate later.
|
||
---------------
|
||
<excerpts only. >
|
||
---------------
|
||
Against non-violent protesters, they used pepper spray, clubs,
|
||
tear gas, and later fired rubber bullets and marbles at the
|
||
people. In every single instance I witnessed first hand, police
|
||
violently attacked non-violent protesters with no provocation
|
||
whatsoever. That was the case when I was beaten and sprayed,
|
||
that was the case when downtown was flooded with gas, with
|
||
helicopters flying overhead shining spotlights down into
|
||
the crowd.
|
||
|
||
The police chased them into a business area and fired tear
|
||
gas into crowds that were now made up of shoppers and people
|
||
getting dinner as well as protesters. Finally, after 12
|
||
hours of people being beaten and gased, a small riot broke
|
||
out. A Starbucks coffee store was damaged and looted.
|
||
I'm amazed it took this long to happen, and I say this
|
||
in all honesty from being here first hand, that, by
|
||
repeatedly attacking and torturing non-violent protesters,
|
||
the Seattle police sought to incite a riot and finally
|
||
succeeded to a small degree.
|
||
|
||
One newscaster said, "Come on, get a life. We live in a
|
||
prosperous country." In all honesty, the news is scaring
|
||
me more than the riot police, because what it has done is
|
||
justify further violence against the protesters. They have
|
||
said that "police have been too lenient." The police have
|
||
used teargas, pepper spray, clubs, rubber bullets, and
|
||
marbles against peaceful civilians in downtown Seattle.
|
||
The only thing they haven't done is used live amunition.
|
||
And in the event that greater violence occurs against
|
||
protesters, the media will have justified it.

|

Rally this Sunday, December 12
|
||
Stafford, California (basically if you're reading this
|
||
right now, you're missin')
|
||
As another winter of high winds and freezing rain pounds Northern
|
||
California, 25-year old Julia Butterfly Hill will reach her second year
|
||
sitting 180' high in a giant redwood called Luna on Friday, December 10,
|
||
1999. A rally will be held to honor her efforts on Sunday, December 12,
|
||
at 10am in Stafford, California in Humboldt County, 240 miles north of San
|
||
Francisco on Highway 101. A benefit concert featuring Bonnie Raitt and
|
||
Joan Baez is scheduled for Wednesday, December 8 in Redway, CA.
|
||
Julia has been keeping this tree-top vigil on a tarp-covered platform
|
||
to stop Maxxam/Pacific Lumber Company from completing a timber harvest
|
||
plan that dooms the 1,000-year-old redwood tree she has called home
|
||
since 1997.

Second black mesa memory
|
||
by marco
|
||
I pull up to a gas station in hopiland behind
|
||
a guy in a nice ride who's honking at the man
|
||
with the medium length black hair in the attendants
|
||
booth.
|
||
There's a restaurant behind him. I remember having
|
||
had a hopi taco or a navajo taco - I never remember the
|
||
difference. And a salad.
|
||
The man's hollaring out his window, "could you hurry up?
|
||
I got places to go."
|
||
"I'll be out in a second." He's looking down concentrating
|
||
on something and there's a glow surrounding him. I cut the
|
||
motor and go in and get a soda to go. Somewhere between
|
||
lukewarm and cold.
|
||
"Hurry up" says the man in the shiny car.
|
||
"Hold your horses," man looking down.
|
||
I come out, pop the soda top, wander over to the man
|
||
looking down. Still aglow.
|
||
"Wow," I say, "whatcha makin'?"
|
||
"Kachina."
|
||
"Gotta get to a stopping point for some belagonna."
|
||
"I know whatcha mean," I tell him, and
|
||
"Wow, that's wood? It's beautiful."
|
||
"Thanks," he says. "I'm trying to finish it today."
|
||
He smiles and looks at me for the first time. I smile back.
|
||
I go back in my van and play some guitar. In a little while
|
||
he comes out and starts pumping gas for me first so the guy in the
|
||
shiny car calls him a "fkkng injn bsstrd, I was here first."
|
||
The man in the medium length black hair waves to him and doesn't
|
||
look up, just finishes my gas, makes change and goes back in to
|
||
put his money away before waiting on the guy in the shiny car.
|
||
I drive off wracking my brain trying to remember who in my
|
||
family taught me to hold my horses. I don't remember 'til the
|
||
next day I'm herding sheep. It's my swedish boatbuilder grandfather
|
||
the carpenter in connecticut. He's about 85 now. Lives in one
|
||
of the Masonic Home and Hospitals. We don't agree on very much.
|
||
Just taking deep breaths first thing in the morning for a long
|
||
time before starting your day.
|
||
I can't wait to visit him this December.
|
||
He's one of my heros.
