"The Americans knew that I often spoke to Fidel and that

any subject at hand would be dealt with seriously and securely.
|
|
For instance, when they wanted to send a secret envoy, as they
|

once did in the person of former Deputy CIA Director Vernon Walters,

I would tell Fidel outright:

"The Americans want such and such" or "The CIA says such and such."

POEM TO BE DEVELOPED: The Nurse In The Birka
|
|
|
|
Evans Army Hospital
|
|
|
|
She taught me the differences between Shiite,
|
|
Sunni, Sikh and even Bahai and American Islamist.
|
|
|
|
She monitored my morphine.
|
|
|
|
She told me about her army husband stationed in Kuwait.
|
|
|
|
I don't remember her name; should have written it down.
|
|
|
|
You might say she saved my life;
|
|
But I'll definitively say she saved my soul.
|
|
|
|
The Nurse in the Birka
|
|
Nurtured my soul.
|
|
|
|
Thank you!

Hello, and welcome to activist times, the zine with
|
|
the attitude of a thousand something-or-others.
|
|
|
|
I'm prime anarchist, and this is the zine for Monday,
|
|
February 18th, 2002. It's 17 hundred hours my time.
|
|
That's like midnite Greenwich Mean Time or something.
|
|
Hmmm. I wonder what it is Greenwich Nice Time?
|
|
|
|
So enjoy this 'zine. You only get one a week or so.

|
|
We start with an open letter as a column. I'll be

snailmailing and emailing this to her as well, just
|

as soon as I find a stamp. And as soon as this zine
|
|
has run its course.

OPEN LETTER TO DOTTIE LAMB:
|
|
|
|
Dear Dottie,
|
|
May I call you Dottie? I remember knowing of you when
|
|
I was awaiting my medical discharge from the US Army
|
|
Signal Corps in Colo Sprgs and you were the former first
|
|
lady. You and your letters.
|
|
During my military years the Rocky Flats site was
|
|
beginning to show itself on its way out, despite Pat
|
|
Schroeder's years of denial there.
|
|
I read Workers World pretty regularly, and the Rocky
|
|
Mountain News more often than the other Denver Daily or my
|
|
local even.
|
|
Bikes Not Bombs, Peace In Space and the local soup kitchens
|
|
are really what radicalized me my last year-and-a-half of
|
|
service, you know.
|
|
You're going to laugh, my last 6 or 7 months was spent
|
|
working at Fort Cartoon during the day and changing into
|
|
civilian clothes every night at 4:30pm and riding bike to
|
|
route 115 as fast as I could to join in the 24/7 protests
|
|
against Iraq war by sleeping on the median between Acacia
|
|
Park and the USO building. Some days there were 30 of us
|
|
sleeping on that little median, other days 300. It seemed
|
|
like the colder it was, the more of us would be there.
|
|
The physical warmth of the men and women sleeping next
|
|
to you went along with the emotional warmth as well. It
|
|
really made for such a stark contrast that I can only
|
|
articulate so well on paper.
|
|
30 inches away form four men and women all day 9-5ish
|
|
for the army with distinct cold, fear, anger, rage,
|
|
resentment and all else that goes along with marching in
|
|
formation.
|
|
3 inches away from two or three people from dark to
|
|
sunrise with peace, love, hopes, fears, anger, rage and
|
|
hostility being processed with as much peace and love as
|
|
it could be surrounded with.
|
|
Every morning a Baby Ben clock would go off about 5
|
|
sleeping bags away from me and John, a Sergent in a
|
|
neighboring unit would wake up, hop on his motorcycle
|
|
and head back to about the same place I was biking back
|
|
to each morning.
|
|
Yes, what a half a year that was. I miss enough of that
|
|
with such passion that I almost forget all the horror we
|
|
dealt with too. threat of nuclear bombs, paramilitary
|
|
death squads, repression all around us, the works.
|
|
Now we're going back into Iraq hot and heavy and even
|
|
good ol' boy, Al Gore is saying he hopes "Junior" can
|
|
accomplish what his dad couldn't. The destruction of
|
|
Saddam Hussein? Boogeymen around every corner, alligators
|
|
under every bunkbed.
|
|
I hear the word "Axis" out of Bush's crooked mouth
|
|
and I tremble with the fear of knowing history, guessing
|
|
the future.
|
|
Dottie, I so want to feel patriotic like you,
|
|
nationalistic maybe, proud of my homeland, the place
|
|
I was born. But frankly I feel like I'm sitting in
|
|
some salon in 1930's Germany wondering if I'm the only
|
|
one who can't hate jews, gypsies, artists and gays.
|
|
After hearing Bush's word-choices such as "crusade"
|
|
"evil doers" "axis of evil" I wonder if I'll be surprised
|
|
when he announces a new salute to signify that we're the
|
|
"new americans" or something.
|
|
September should be a wakeup call, but one pointing out
|
|
something far beyond Bush's axis of evil.
|
|
The true "axis of evil" if there even is such a thing
|
|
is likely to look more like England, Italy and the Untied
|
|
States, give or take Japan.
|
|
Anyhow, main theme of this entire email should have
|
|
been my thanking you for showing yourself a thinking
|
|
person in this month's MonteLibre newspaper. Your dynamic
|
|
mind is what appeals to me most. Were it not for people
|
|
like you, the final extension of my anti-globalism beliefs
|
|
and philosophies would be the automatic hatred of all rich
|
|
people wholesale.
|
|
Not just the "evil" ones.

Hey there,
|
|
|
|
This is just a quick introduction of the small record label
|
|
that I run out of my bedroom in Toronto, Ontario. The label
|
|
is called AntiAntenna Recordings, and you are getting this
|
|
message because I've done some research and found that the
|
|
publication you're working with would be interested in
|
|
getting press releases from the genres of music that I'm
|
|
working with.
|
|
|
|
So, I'll keep this short. Add "info@antiantenna.com" to
|
|
any mailing lists you might have for people like me. If
|
|
your publication has a section for an indie label showcase
|
|
or spotlight, please feel free to contact me for an interview.
|
|
If your site has a links section, I would gladly trade links
|
|
with you. I've already seen your site, and I think we're both
|
|
on the same track.
|
|
|
|
contact info for my label is:

All borders of aldermanic/supervisor districts have

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
|
|
|
|
Side effects with Allegra for seasonal allergies (TM) are
|
|
low and may include headache, cold, back pain, flu, nausea,
|
|
menstrual pain, drowsiness, back pain, sinusitis, dizziness,
|
|
back pain, coughing, accidental injury, back pain, or back
|
|
pain.
|
|
|
|
Guy walks into his doctor and says, "I have this horrible
|
|
back pain."
|
|
"Didn't we give you pills to clear that up last month?"
|
|
The doctor asks.
|
|
"Yeah, I took them and would you know, those painkillers
|
|
gave me the munchies? So I ate a whole bag of Baked Lays
|
|
(TM) and a bunch of other stuff so I got indigestion, well
|
|
I took a bunch of my leftover Purple Pills (TM), yeah,
|
|
Prilosec (TM), which gave me rectal bleeding and horrible
|
|
gas. I took Mylanta (TM), and had some kind of allergic
|
|
reaction (TM) so I took some of those Allegras (TM) you'd
|
|
given my wife. Next thing I know I have more back pain."
|
|
"But didn't you come in for back pain three days ago?"
|
|
"Yes, but whole different story, Doc. See, I was
|
|
taking those Viagras (TM) they sent me in the mail as free
|
|
samples? Well, let's just say the wife and I had a really
|
|
great day."
|
|
"So you threw your back out having sex?"
|
|
"No! The sex gave me the munchies and shortly after
|
|
that I had an allergic reaction (TM) to something I ate,
|
|
so I took more of those Allegras..."
|
|
"Ah, back pain side effect?"
|
|
"No! The lady and I were arguing about who would get up
|
|
and turn off the light for the evening. We were wrestling
|
|
a bit and well. I punched myself in the head, fell out of
|
|
bed, rolled on the floor, knocked over the half empty bottle
|
|
of Allegras (TM) all over me and in the radiator on the
|
|
floor. I was reaching for one of those falling pills and
|
|
hit my head on the table which knocked over the light onto
|
|
the floor. I don't know why, when I reached down to pick
|
|
up the light my back went out."
|
|
"Accidental injury?"
|
|
"Yeah, accidental injury."
|
|
"Hmmm. That's a common side effect."
|
|
"Yeah, I know. You got any painkillers?"

SOME GUY SAVED AN ENDANGERED SONG.
|
|
My J20 BushHillbillys parody. He's a Cooledit
|
|
whiz too. Gave me two tutorials on noise reduxx
|
|
to read as well.
|
|
Anyhew it's a song I wrote in notepad.exe, rehersed
|
|
two or three times, and then called DC indymedia web
|
|
radio and sang it to them over the phone. I literally
|
|
propped the phone up on Dante's "Inferno," Gideon's
|
|
"Bible," Random's "Thesaurus" and Orwells "1984."
|
|
So the phone faced right between my mouth and the
|
|
guitar somewhere. (note to self: next time right up
|
|
to the guitar, just sing toward it)
|
|
I sang my lungs out and then went about my business.
|
|
At some point I closed notepad.exe without saving and
|
|
poof. The song was gone for good. Right? No biggie, it
|
|
was topical. Probably time-specific, like a shelf-life.
|
|
Right?
|
|
J20
|
|
Inauguration
|
|
Bush Hillbillys. Hmm.
|
|
(next note to self: songs about Prescotts, Dulles'
|
|
Bushs' have no freshness stamp. They will ALWAYS carry
|
|
meaning.)
|
|
So I put the song behind me, spring, summer, fall.
|
|
And then...
|
|
"Didn't you do a J20 song live on the DC stream?"
|
|
this guy asks me in an irc chat.
|
|
I think so. Don't remember what I sang exactly, but
|
|
"yeah. I think so."
|
|
"Want an .MP3? I cleaned up the tinneyness from the
|
|
phone in cooledit and it actually sounds pretty good."
|
|
Wow, he sent it to me. It exists again.
|
|
He saved an endangered song.
|
|
Cool!

Part of a poem about the Waldorf Astoria
|
|
|
|
Oh Lawd, I done forgot Harlem!
|
|
Say, you colored folks, hungry a long time in
|
|
35th Street they got swell music at the Waldorf-Astoria. It sure
|
|
is a mighty nice place to shake hips in, too. There's dancing
|
|
after supper in a big warm room. It's cold as hell on Lenox
|
|
Avenue. All you've had all day is a cup of coffee. Your
|
|
pawnshop overcoat's a ragged banner on your hungry frame.
|
|
You know, downtown folks are just crazy about Paul Robeson!
|
|
Maybe they'll like you, too, black mob from Harlem. Drop in
|
|
the Waldorf this afternoon for tea. Stay to dinner. Give Park
|
|
Avenue a lot of darkie color--free for nothing! Ask the Junior
|
|
Leaguers to sing a spiritual for you. They probably know 'em
|
|
better than you do--and their lips won't be chapped with cold
|
|
after they step out of their closed cars in the undercover driveways.
|
|
Hallelujah! under-cover driveways!
|
|
Ma Soul's a witness for the Waldorf-Astoria!
