"No," he says, "don't worry; I'm not gonna to try and kill the

president. The opposite in fact. It's the new president's dad's

style to try and shoot dissidents in the ass. I figure I have

about a 50/50 chance of coming out of a George Bush shooting

[ed note: uh oh. Correction number two for that zine.
|

I was a republican at the time of publishing the ATI

|
issue which that was reprinted from. Should have
|
|
taken that part out and didn't notice. Everything
|
|
else seemed pretty durned "apropo." We regret the

error in that we certainly don't wish anyone to think
|

Prime Anarchist has been EITHER: repug OR dem the

past decade or so. Thanks for pointing this out, F.
|
|
I CAN call you _F_ can't I? I know we haven't been
|
|
formally introduced. Is "F" the proper shortening of

|
a name like ALT/F13? Just curious. You must be one of

Hi Marco.
|
|
Thanks for the hook-up. I listened to your songs,
|
|
and I really got a kick out of them! You kind of
|
|
remind me of Adam Sandler, if he actually had some
|
|
musical ability. I especially liked 'Guerillas in
|
|
the Lobby' - good stuff!
|
|
btw - what the fuck is frybread?

Thanks again,

"Our brands, services and technologies already touch hundreds

of millions of people," said Chairman Steve Case, whose
|
|
company AOL serves 26 million Internet subscribers. "We will
|
|
embed the AOL Time Warner experience more deeply into their
|
|
everyday lives."
|
|
|

Prepare for the embedding!!!!

IS DOT COM REALLY THE DOT BOMB?
|
|
|
|
Hola, I'm prime anarchist and this is the column or something.
|
|
|
|
NYTimes lays off 60, other companies to follow.
|
|
Who's next, where do we go from there?
|
|
This author just heard that NYTimes is laying off 60-65 of their
|
|
internet people because of all this talk about the web being
|
|
less a great place to make money and more the place for discussion
|
|
and hanging out. Between the first draft of this column and the
|
|
second, the author heard that CNN's about to layoff hundreds of
|
|
internet people too, now that another half of the country has FCC
|
|
permission to merger AOL/CNN/Time/Warner.
|
|
This author is quite pleased, yea relieved and happy about
|
|
this, but then the author doesn't have a job to fear at the NY
|
|
Times or CNN either.
|
|
I heard this at about 4 this morning from the BBC and again
|
|
from CBC at a little bit before 6. Then of course as seems to
|
|
be the tradition these days, I catch my first "american" sniff
|
|
of this news at about 5pm.
|
|
The first time I took it merely at face value. Then second
|
|
time I started thinking a little deeper. Let's see. New York
|
|
Times was one of the last major US dailies to even dabble with
|
|
the internet, and when they finally did, they set up a cookie-
|
|
intensive system claiming it would forever remain completely
|
|
free. Well, free to sign up. Do you want to look things up
|
|
more than a year and a half back? Break out the wallet, people.
|
|
But I digress. They sealed up their "online paper" with a
|
|
username and password. Friends of mine got one right away. With
|
|
good reason. NYTimes is still to this day considered the journal
|
|
of record. Ask any librarian hauling around those big huge cloth-
|
|
bound index books and the microfiche and etc. Sure, some people
|
|
go to the Post and even the WSJ or say Time and Newsweak [sorry I
|
|
couldn't help myself] but we still live under a mythology that's
|
|
greatly defined by the New York Times. If it happened in the
|
|
times, it happened.
|
|
Period.
|
|
Well back to the password. I'd gotten a password a year or two
|
|
after my friends did. Why for the holding out? Suspicious.
|
|
Maybe I was being as slow to respond to the NYTimes as they were
|
|
to the rest of us. Vengeance is divine. Digressing again. Passwords.
|
|
Yeah, passwords. Have they given up the ghost? Have they admitted
|
|
defeat in laying off I-Net people? Have they realized all of a
|
|
sudden that information is NOT a commodity, contrary to CIA, GOP,
|
|
DNC and ASNE belief?
|
|
(I'll save you a quick trip to your AP Stylebook and Libel Manual
|
|
there. That's American Society of Newspaper Editors!) Did it smack
|
|
some high level board member in the face that it's simply not worth
|
|
spending literally millions of dollars a month toward something that
|
|
might not even get them half a billion after all is said and done
|
|
decades from now?
|
|
Ha!
|
|
Then I heard the report a third time and thought of a different
|
|
wrinkle. It involves one of my two local newspapers here. The
|
|
non-gannett-corpse paper [oops, sorry again...] A couple superbowls
|
|
ago. Yeah, the one that had all the anti-porn proxyserver programmers
|
|
up in arms. Yes: Superbowl XXX.
|
|
My local pape has a circulation of about 13K (next to the neighboring
|
|
mcpaper at about 50K) and they jumped right on the net with e-news that
|
|
summer. Road to the super bowl. They got a few hits. The McPaper said
|
|
Bah Humbug. Websites are stupid, they're not going to go online until
|
|
every other big looking paper around them's been online for a year or
|
|
more with great success.
|
|
Well, the little paper that could, let me tell you. Come Oct/Nov,
|
|
the hits were climbing up into the thousands a day.
|
|
Then it happened, I think it was early November. Not only did they
|
|
get their millionth hit total, they got more than 100,000 hits in a
|
|
month. People in Australia, Jamaica, and Swaziland, yes even Trenton,
|
|
New Jersey were writing in signing the guestbook saying things like,
|
|
"I'm a major packer fan, I hope they win the superbowl. Thanks for
|
|
keeping me informed out here."
|
|
I think two superbowls later, the other bigger paper came online.
|
|
By then the little paper that could was getting tens of thousands of
|
|
hits a month even in the off season. People weren't even cancelling
|
|
their subscriptions to the paper paper. They seem to have gotten
|
|
themselves addicted to both. A very active bunch, they!
|
|
Now in the early times, there was a couple banners. I think it
|
|
was a car dealership, and some place where you can buy Reggie
|
|
White's smelly old underwear and socks at "lower than eBay prices!"
|
|
Anyhew, these banners were like 50$ up front, forever, or until
|
|
further notice or something. It really wasn't a commercial
|
|
endeavor as much as an attempt at keeping people interested and
|
|
connected long enough to think up new ideas around circulation
|
|
boost for the actual, honest to goodness, paper paper.
|
|
Cross the street: major commercial endeavor. Why yesterday
|
|
morning I even saw an ad at the bottom of the FRONT PAGE of
|
|
the paper paper for not only their "www . page" but how you can
|
|
see more car dealerships listed just like "x car dealer." Yes, a
|
|
full blown (ok, really small, but almost the same exact size AND
|
|
SHAPE as my zine banner
|
|
[ref]:[http://www.freespeech.org/kokopeli/pics/ati4.gif]
|
|
display ad on the front page.
|
|
Money, money money. Love of it is not only a sin, it's a stumbling
|
|
block if you ask me. But that didn't get all-evident until about an
|
|
hour after New Years Eve.
|
|
There was BBC and CBC again, spouting off about how they didn't
|
|
"think Time's man of the year was going to be a dot com fellow THIS
|
|
TIME, that's for sure." And when does United States corporate media
|
|
begin embracing the notion that the internet is more free-info-
|
|
superhighway, full of anarchy and fun, and cool chats, and less
|
|
"get rich quick, send me a buck," perfect ponzi scheme? The mother
|
|
of all moneymakers?
|
|
You got it. Todayish. Behind the times, bigtime. So anyhow, internet
|
|
jobs are going to start drying up left and right at a newspaper near
|
|
you, as people start admitting that what they threw wads of "venture"
|
|
at "just ain't gonna happen," and many people are going to be hurt.
|
|
Personally. Except those of us who've been surfing the
|
|
"info-supo-hi-way" since it was a matted down walked upon dirt road.
|
|
Yeah, since before Al Gore invented it.
|
|
So what will come of NYTimes.com? We'll have to wait and see.
|
|
Maybe they'll let information be truly free, and they'll open up
|
|
their archives. Or maybe they'll fold and go back to being the
|
|
CIA's main disseminator just in paper instead of all over anarchy
|
|
land.
|
|
In fact, in honor of all these fools, I'll engineer
|
|
alt.capitalism.is.so.much.fun on usenet. For what does alt
|
|
stand for anyways? Anarchists, Losers and Terrorists. Hmmm.
|
|
Sounds like the New York Times to me.
|
|
|
|
And in other shorter stuff:
|
|
|
|
I bought a brita filter. Why? Because I don't think your tap
|
|
is supposed to make a loud pooping noise the first time you
|
|
turn it on in the morning. Yeah, a small explosion before the
|
|
water starts teeming out. Either they tripled the amount of
|
|
chlorine this year, or we're having a little bit of a swamp-
|
|
gas problem or something. So now I'm filtering CL2, F2 and
|
|
whatever else out of my water before I drink it.
|
|
It has come to that. I'm not happy about it. I guess we
|
|
here at the Untied States of Americancorporated are seeming
|
|
to take after France and England, eh? We've ruined our
|
|
groundwater, just about devastated our topsoil, what's
|
|
next, I know, let's destroy outer-space.

The Official George W. Bush Inaugural Song!
|
|
(Sing to the tune of "The Beverly Hillbillies"
|
|
|
|
G D7
|
|
Come and listen to my story 'bout a boy named Bush.
|
|
G
|
|
His IQ was zero and his head was up his tush.
|
|
G7 C
|
|
He drank like a fish while he drove all about.
|
|
D7 G
|
|
But that didn't matter 'cuz his daddy bailed him out.
|
|
[SPOKEN]
|
|
DUI, that is. Criminal record. Cover-up.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well, the first thing you know little Georgie goes to Yale.
|
|
He can't spell his name but they never let him fail.
|
|
He spends all his time hangin' out with student folk.
|
|
And that's when he learns how to snort a line of coke.
|
|
Blow, that is. White gold. Nose candy.
|
|
|
|
The next thing you know there's a war in Vietnam.
|
|
Kin folks said, "George, stay at home with Mom!"
|
|
"Let the common people get maimed and scarred."
|
|
"We'll buy you a spot in the Texas Air Guard."
|
|
Cushy, that is. Country clubs. Nose candy.
|
|
|
|
Twenty years later George gets a little bored.
|
|
He trades in the booze, says that Jesus is his Lord.
|
|
He said, "Now the White House is the place I wanna be."
|
|
So he called his daddy's friends and they called the GOP.
|
|
Gun owners, that is. Falwell. Jesse Helms.
|
|
|
|
Come November 7, the election ran late.
|
|
The kin folks said "Jeb, give the boy your state!"
|
|
"Don't let those colored folks get into the polls."
|
|
So they put up barricades so they couldn't punch their holes.
|
|
Chads, that is. Duval County. Miami-Dade.
|
|
|
|
Before the votes were counted five Supremes stepped in.
|
|
Told all the voters "Hey, we want George to win."
|
|
"Stop counting votes!" was their solemn invocation.
|
|
And that's how George finally got his coronation.
|
|
Rigged, that is. Illegitimate. No moral authority.
|
|
|
|
Y'all come vote, now. Ya hear?

|
