Lies
|
|
----
|
|
by Quadrac
|
|
|
|
Remember the old saying that not telling the whole story is just as
|
|
good as lying? Since when were American's told the whole story? How
|
|
many times have we been lied to in the past by our own "government"?
|
|
We should be yelling out and fighting back!
|
|
The education system lied to us when we were children. The atrocity
|
|
of slavery was never given enough emphasis, or even described as rascism.
|
|
The national racism during WWII was never described. The government took
|
|
all Americans of Japanese descent and stuffed them into crowded "camps".
|
|
Every news report during the war (slaughter) with Iraq was censored. It
|
|
was never even mentioned that we blackmailed all of the members of the
|
|
coalition into joining by sending the Secretary of State to tell them
|
|
we'd cut off all economic aid to them if they didn't.
|
|
So, if you want to say nothing, believe everything you see and hear
|
|
on TV, then go right ahead. You want to be a real patriot? Do something
|
|
to fix your country instead of saluting Bush. When you get finished with
|
|
that, help the rest of the world as well.

Top Ten Reasons to Re-elect the Bush/Quayle Ticket
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Guaranteed more money diverted from the poor to the rich.
|
|
2. The continued use of inefficient fossil fuel machines.
|
|
3. Continued widespread crack epedemics.
|
|
4. No more wasting money on useless AIDS research.
|
|
5. Lowered education standards to keep the working class overflowing.
|
|
6. Less taxes for major corporations and more for the middle class.
|
|
7. Changing presidents would only confuse people.
|
|
8. Keep America on top as the worlds greatest mercenaries.
|
|
9. Continued super-patriotism blinded with a thousand points of light
|
|
shining right through the Bill of Rights.
|
|
10. More military spending to force the rest of the world to it's knees.

Election Time
|
|
-------------
|
|
by Quadrac
|
|
|
|
Well folks, it's election time again, and we've got a lot more
|
|
canidates up for president than usual. I just hope that whoever
|
|
you vote for, it isn't the Bush/Quayle ticket. The current president
|
|
has to be one of the most powerful of all time. He started a worthless
|
|
war for his own self-interest in oil, and rallied almost the whole,
|
|
brain-dead country behind him. Blinded their sight with nintendo
|
|
warfare, and flashy, happy news braodcasts. At the same time he was
|
|
mercilessly destroying our economy and social order. More homeless
|
|
and hungry than ever, and seriously lacking education system. He's
|
|
being hailed as the peace president because he pulled the short-range
|
|
nuclear arms out of Europe. Truth is, we just couldn't afford the
|
|
upkeep anymore, much less even need it.
|
|
If we don't elect somebody who is going to help our economy soon,
|
|
America is going to see it's greatest depression ever. Oh, and
|
|
by the way, how could you vote for Bush with a vice-president like Dan
|
|
Quayle? That idiot gives Indiana a bad name.

Cultures and Identity
|
|
---------------------
|
|
by Quadrac
|
|
|
|
On college campuses across the nation, there has been a great
|
|
expanding of awareness about our own cultures. More and more people
|
|
are beginning to study their own cultures and developing a cultural
|
|
pride that is unrivaled in modern times.
|
|
The best example of this awareness is that of Black Americans.
|
|
They no more of their own culture than any other American. All other
|
|
Americans should take this example to heart. Study your own culture,
|
|
and know your history. Once you understand your own, we can all
|
|
begin to study each others.
|
|
When we all begin to study AND understand each others culture, we
|
|
will be able to get along better. This well be another big step
|
|
in the march to stamp out all forms of rascism that this country
|
|
greatly needs. Global understanding is the largest step towards
|
|
world peace that we can make. We have to preserve the life and liberty
|
|
of all human beings, instead of creating suffering and hatred.
|
|
We need to research all of our politicians for past histories of
|
|
rascism, and make sure they are not elected. These kinds of politicians
|
|
are all over the country, and they are the descision makers. It's time
|
|
for a revolution, and we are the ones who have to start it, and soon.

1. Never trust anyting that bleeds 5 days out of the month and doesn't

|
|
2. Here's to the crack that never heals. The more you rub it, the better

3. Damned be the one who flushes not the toilet.

These sayings were painstakingly researched in porta-johns all over

support these views, but we just thought the general public should

know about the few, creative geniuses (yeah, right) that are cool

Yet Another Music Review
|
|
------------------------
|
|
by Quadrac
|
|
|
|
Do you like grungy, hard hitting music? Well, if you do I suggest
|
|
a band called Poster Children. The album name is "Flower Plower"
|
|
(yes, that's Plower). It's put out on Frontier Records.
|
|
Most of the album keeps a fast pace, with a pretty gritty guitar
|
|
sound. Such songs as "Dangerous Life", "Modern Art", and "Non-reggae
|
|
Song" that drive right through your skull like a Mack truck. Definately
|
|
something loud to wake up to that doesn't sound like Metallica.
|
|
These guys are based out of Urbana Il., so it's not to difficult
|
|
to get to a show if you are a poor, Terre Haute native, or student
|
|
here.

SHOCK * HORROR * EXPOSED
|
|
THRASH METAL HEROES UNMASKED
|
|
RSPCA Guerrilla Raid On Gorillas
|
|
|
|
Thrash Metal chart toppers Sonic Destruction are at the centre of an
|
|
animal cruelty row following a raid on a recording session by RSPCA
|
|
inspectors. The inspectors became interested in the band when an RSPCA
|
|
member, Sid Jones, overheard his son playing their 'Barf Out Your Brains'
|
|
album.
|
|
Sid Jones told us, 'I was sure I could hear the distress call of a
|
|
grizzly bear somewhere in the general racket that my son calls music.
|
|
When my son mentioned that the band record nearby I organised a raid.'
|
|
The raid was planned to coincide with the recording of a single, 'Bog
|
|
Eyes And Dandruff', a follow-up to the EP 'Eaten By A Combine' which
|
|
topped the indie charts for over a month.
|
|
RSCPA men burst into the studio as soon as they heard the first grunt and
|
|
crashing chord. What they saw horrified them. Sid Jones takes up the
|
|
story. 'We thought they just used a bear to add to the vocals. When we
|
|
got in that studio we saw the full scale of the problem. There were three
|
|
gorilla's and a chimp tied down to the floor and playing musical instru-
|
|
ments. One gorilla had his feet glued to his drum pedals. The place
|
|
stank. I don't think the place had been cleaned out for weeks.'
|
|
The RSPCA inspectors discovered Dick Devious the band's producer sitting
|
|
in the soundproof control room wearing a gasmask to protect him from the
|
|
stench. On the mixing desk in front of him lay large quantities of
|
|
amphetimine sulphate and several cans full of mixed and edited master
|
|
tapes.
|
|
It was only when the RSPCA summoned the police that the full story
|
|
emerged. Faced with a charge of possessing over a pound of 'Speed' Devious
|
|
broke down and confessed that the drugs were not for his use.
|
|
Devious named Bob Dog, supremo of Sore Ball records, as the man behind
|
|
a scheme to pump the animals full of hard drugs and record them as they
|
|
attacked musical instruments in a chemically induced frenzy.
|
|
Devious also revealed that the four animals discovered by the RSPCA
|
|
had been responsible for nearly all the products released by bands like
|
|
Napalm Death, Bolt Thrower and Unseen Terror.
|
|
The blubbering producer confirmed the RSPCA theory about a bear but
|
|
revealed the animal had been released from the studio following 'Musical
|
|
differences' resulting from it's accidental playing of a proper chord on
|
|
the guitar. 'That's when we got the chimp in,' mumbled Devious.
|
|
With Devious, Dog and a couple of recording engineers removed to police
|
|
cells, attempts were made to release the animals. At this point the
|
|
animal inspectors encountered problems as the rockin' primates insisted
|
|
on hauling themselves back into the studio for further performances.
|
|
In one final speed fuelled frenzy the animals cut 'Fascist Inspectors
|
|
Piss Off' and 'Sexy Orang Baby Go Down On Me'. With the band now returned
|
|
to their respective zoos, the royalties from their single will pay for
|
|
their upkeep.

Education and Slavery and Death
|
|
|
|
Have you taken a close look at our educational system today? It
|
|
stinks. I am continually suprised at the lack of education in our 'so
|
|
called' educated people. I went back to school after having been out
|
|
of the academic scene for a number of years. It is incredible! We
|
|
are breeding a nation of slaves!
|
|
|
|
I know, you don't see the connection. It is there. Take a look
|
|
back in history. Look at our own civil war. That war was NOT fought
|
|
to free the slaves, it was fought because of education. If you look
|
|
at slaves through all the annals of history, you will see that slaves
|
|
were people of lesser knowledge kept by people of greater knowledge.
|
|
The reason for this is clear. You cannot fight what you don't know and
|
|
you cannot win over someone who does. During the period before our
|
|
civil war the slaves were kept ignorant for a reason, it was well
|
|
known that an educated slave was a rebellious slave. Why? Because he
|
|
had learned enough to understand the inequalities of the situation.
|
|
When the slaves were first brought over from Africa, they knew so
|
|
little that they could not understand the language let alone how to
|
|
stand up for their rights. Every succeeding generation grew to know
|
|
more of the American culture, became more educated, less satisfied
|
|
with their lot. Eventually, they became educated enough to point out
|
|
to people the injustice. Over a period of time enough people listened
|
|
that the civil war was fought. But rest assured, if the slaves in
|
|
America had not gained knowledge, we would still have slaves today.
|
|
|
|
As an example let me point out to you what has happened in an
|
|
African nation known as Nigeria. Nigeria is where all the blacks who
|
|
wanted to go back to Africa went after the civil war. They went there
|
|
and immediately subjugated the native blacks of the region. However
|
|
they were smarter than we were. They immediately went on a killing
|
|
spree, trying to kill entire populations of natives. Their reasoning
|
|
was, "They're just stupid ignorant savages". Sound familiar? Yeah.
|
|
This continues to this day. They haven't completely wiped out the
|
|
indigenous tribes but they are close. And how do they do it? By
|
|
denying them an education, keeping them stupid and ignorant. They
|
|
don't have the education to plan or to fight so they die. And the
|
|
people in power keep on in power straight from the time of the
|
|
American civil war. And guess what country's friends with them? You
|
|
guessed it, the USA. Yes, we say we are against slavery and the loss
|
|
of basic human rights but we go right ahead being friends with all the
|
|
worst offenders. Some of them (like Nigeria) for a hundred or more
|
|
years!
|
|
|
|
So, you ask what does that have to do with me? Well, you just
|
|
look around you at the education thats being offered today. Everybody
|
|
says it terrible, everybody says somebody should do something about
|
|
it. But what is being done? Nothing. Every year it gets a little
|
|
worse, and they talk a lot about reforms, but they never get
|
|
implemented or if they do they make things worse instead of better.
|
|
So when you sit back in your complacent little niche in life and
|
|
vegetate just think of this for a moment. Who is going to benefit from
|
|
the poor education of people today? Not the poorly educated children
|
|
of today. Not the worse educated children of tommorow. No, it will
|
|
be the people who have maintained their and their childrens education.
|
|
They will smile as the poor uneducated trash go out to work in the
|
|
fields, singin about how good 'massa' is to allow them to work for
|
|
nothing and feed them scraps that he wouldn't feed his hogs. Yes,
|
|
thats it, thank him as he lashes their backs and their blood runs free
|
|
on the ground.
|
|
|
|
Are one of those who are going to sit back and do nothing?
|
|
The 'it cant happen to me' people? Fine, just realize what you are
|
|
selling your kids into. And if you are one of those fat cats who are
|
|
going to sit back and let it happen because you plan on being 'massa'
|
|
I hope you realize that not all of us are going to go quitely into
|
|
servitude.
|
|
|
|
If you have children or if you plan on having them in the future,
|
|
educate them! Its for damn sure that if you don't, the system sure as
|
|
hell won't either.

VA Hospitals and Old Pink.
|
|
|
|
I went to Indianapolis to see my grandfather. He's in a VA
|
|
hospital dying of Hepatitis B (which he contracted at that
|
|
hospital during surgery), and I'm here to tell you you don't
|
|
ever want to end up in a VA hospital. Over the patient rooms
|
|
hang blue, orange, red and pink flourescent signs saying:
|
|
"THIS PATIENT _(name)_ HAS AIDS. AVOID CONTACT WITH BODILY
|
|
FLUIDS. AVOID CONTACTS WITH NEEDLES, RAZORS, BLOOD PRODUCTS..."
|
|
and that's it for protection. They have signs for Hepatits
|
|
B, Pnuemonia, and a whole host of diseases.
|
|
|
|
These people are dying alone. There are very few visitors
|
|
for the dying; it infuriates me to see these people, led along
|
|
by the government, rotting away in dirty beds, dirty halls...
|
|
what really gets me is the last 2 presidents. I hold them personally
|
|
responsible for my grandfather's death. There is no cure for
|
|
hep b. As a direct result of the VA budget cuts Bush and Reagan
|
|
used to help balance their budgets (you know, "service cutbacks"),
|
|
this guy is gonna die. The VA hospital couldn't afford to
|
|
make sure every scalpel was sterile. Image going to a hospital
|
|
for surgery and seeing crusty scalpels, rusty needles... oh
|
|
well. You have to let go at some point and realize this is
|
|
a micro version of what the government has been doing to armed
|
|
forces members for years.
|
|
|
|
Did any of you see the TBS movie, "Nightbreaker"? About the
|
|
Army guys who got nuked, and the doctoral student who loved
|
|
them? Pretty true stuff. My grandmother said they used to
|
|
be able to watch the nukes go off in Nevada. Just watch them
|
|
off the back porch, boom, a nuke goes off. And all those army
|
|
guys up there, getting nuked, human lab rats. But this is no
|
|
different from what goes on today...
|
|
|
|
I recently found a text file about how the US government started
|
|
AIDS. It totally reversed my views in this area. The World
|
|
Health Orginization (WHO) and the NSA both agreed it was in
|
|
the US's best interest to depopulate specific areas of the
|
|
world (Africa) and certain populations (homosexuals, drug users)
|
|
and in certain areas (slums). Depopulate is another word for
|
|
kill, folks. Viral experts have determined that AIDS is not
|
|
releated to any virus in the green monkey, rather it is a kludge
|
|
of a cow virus and a sheep virus. The viruses are glued together
|
|
to form... AIDS. Excerpts:
|
|
|
|
---This text excerpted from a 57K textfile about AIDS---
|
|
|
|
"Reduction of the rate of population in these States is a matter of vital US
|
|
national security." [National Security Memorandum, Henry Kissinger]
|
|
|
|
And we even have a map of those areas in which Kissinger indicates where
|
|
depopulation would be desireable. It's all Third World countries -- it's all
|
|
brown people and yellow people, of course.
|
|
|
|
several published articles from the World Health Organization, written about
|
|
the same time, which advocated similar kinds of research toward the
|
|
development of "a hybrid virus that could selectively effect the human immune
|
|
system."
|
|
|
|
We also pointed out an incredible coincidence. The World Health Organization
|
|
went into Central Africa in 1972 -- into an area that is known as the "AIDS
|
|
Belt" -- and administered a smallpox vaccination to several thousands of
|
|
Africans. This event was followed immediately by the first outbreak of AIDS
|
|
on this planet -- a remarkable coincidence -- that was noted as a Front Page
|
|
Headline in the London Times, but has never even been mentioned in the US
|
|
Media -- never even mentioned.
|
|
|
|
Another startling fact that was never mentioned in the mainstream media -- the
|
|
Hepatitis B Vaccine that was given to several thousand male homosexuals in New
|
|
York and San Francisco in 1978. The fact is, every single person who received
|
|
that vaccine contracted AIDS -- every single one of them -- without exception.
|
|
That is what the first American victims of AIDS all had in common. They were
|
|
receivers of the Hepatitis B Vaccine. It is a document fact. AIDS began in
|
|
America in 1978 in the homosexual communities of New York and San Francisco,
|
|
immediately following a government-sponsored program of Hepatitis B
|
|
Vaccinations. This is all completely documented -- it is completely true.
|
|
|
|
In our first program, we made many references to material that you can and
|
|
should read, such as the Strecker Memorandum, by Dr. Robert Strecker. Another
|
|
work called "Who Murdered Africa," by Dr. William Douglas. And an incredible
|
|
book called "A Higher Form of Killing," which documents over 500 specific
|
|
cases of biological experimentation by our government on an unsuspecting
|
|
public. If you don't think they do "that kind of thing," you are simply
|
|
uninformed.
|
|
|
|
We also read you an official government report from the Royal Society of
|
|
Medicine in Great Britain, in which they state unequivocally that "saliva and
|
|
blood are vastly more infectious than genital secretions," and "that AIDS
|
|
meets none of the criterion of a venereal disease. That despite the
|
|
misrepresentations of the American Medical Establishment and the American
|
|
Government, AIDS is not primarily a sexually transmitted disease." All of
|
|
that, according to the Royal Society of Medicine in Great Britain.
|
|
|

|
This text file is available on Lunatic Labs (203) as AIDSGOVT.TXT.
|

It's also available on The Phoenix, (812) 466 3478, file area 3.
|
|
|
|
They go on about how the goverment killed Dr. Strecker's brother
|
|
for pursuing this info, and how the goverment killed an Illinois
|
|
state legislator for championing the cause.
|
|
|
|
Anyways, I think perhaps the goverment, uh, to be frank, sucks.
|
|
This is what they are doing to us. And VA Hospitals seem to
|
|
me to be the perfect way to... try things out. People in the
|
|
VA system bought the lies once... why not again?

Public Enemy: Apocalypse 91... The Enemy Strikes Black
|
|
Review by Ego Maniac
|
|
|
|
This is an OK offering by the black radical band of the decade.
|
|
Not on par with earlier jams, but you know. Ice T's OG certainly
|
|
wasn't up to par with Iceberg or Power, but you know.
|
|
|
|
PE cuts some solid jams, though. NightTrain, By The Time I
|
|
Get To Arizona, More News At 11, A Letter To the New York Post
|
|
are a few of the good jams here. Certainly jeep beats in effect.
|
|
But Get The F--- Out Of Dodge, 1 Million BottleBags, and the
|
|
other censored tracks suck. Here's a hardcore group censoring
|
|
their own work. This is like Ice T's OG video: Not at all
|
|
like the album. Why did PE sell out and censor themselves?
|
|
Radio play is the only thing I can think of. Shades of Metallica
|
|
here... 911 is a joke was One, soon, we'll have PE & Metallica
|
|
tours... sell outs sticking together. Oh well.
|
|
|
|
Terminator X does some seriously righteous cuts on tracks 1,
|
|
2 & 3. Tracks 6 and 8 are pretty good, too. The Flav is in
|
|
effect on track 12, one of his best (I think it's better than
|
|
911 is a joke, but you know...) Chuck is hardcore throughout,
|
|
except when he wusses out. Oh well. You know....
|
|
|
|
I'd rate this album a must have, but you know I'm biased.
|
|
PE fairly well rules, but...
|
|
|
|
If anyone's seen their videos, let me know about them... I
|
|
want to hear about them before I buy.

|
|
|
|
In order, we have: DOA's Behind The Smile, a great track from...
|
|
DOA. The BeatNigs: Television fucking rules. It's kinda rap
|
|
like but not really. Jello Biafra w/NoMeansNo: Falling Space
|
|
Junk (hold the anchovies) is.. OK. I, Braineater: Modern Man
|
|
is an OK track from a band I've never heard of. It's kinda
|
|
funny, but you know. Gerry Hannah: Living with the Lies is
|
|
a cool track. Very cool, if you can get past the music. Kinda
|
|
country. Art Bergman: War Party. Hardcore blues. good track.
|
|
Jello Biafra w/DOA: That's Progress. Off of Jello w/DOA's
|
|
album Last Scream Of The Missing Neighbors, it's ok. Evan
|
|
John & The H-Bomb: Madhouse. It's OK. NoMeansNo: It's catching
|
|
up. OK unless you have the tape, and they cut the song off
|
|
in an odd spot. The Groovaholics: Pull The Trigger, Sunshine.
|
|
Great Track. DOA: Concrete Beach. Rulin. Keith LeBlanc /
|
|
Jello Biafra: Message from our sponsor / object-subject. Rappish
|
|
version of... you know that track. Ice T used it. Jello uses
|
|
it. How many versions... but this one is set to a beat.
|
|
|
|
The CD casing is pink. This looks like a fucking cool movie
|
|
if I could find it on video. If you know where I can buy this
|
|
videotape, TELL ME DAMMIT.
|
|
|
|
ne ways, buy it, it's really good. If you don't like it, feed
|
|
it to your dog.

klaus flouride: the light is flickering
|
|
review by Ego Maniac.
|
|
|
|
this 9 track cd offering from dead kennedy's ex member is pretty
|
|
good, but if you're after post punk revival stuff, uh, not
|
|
here folks. this is a good cd, but it kinda drags in spots.
|
|
dancing with shauna grant, plaid shirt, gangbusters, and six
|
|
other tracks make up the cd.
|
|
|
|
this is really mellow stuff. it pokes a lot of fun at modern
|
|
music... about the 4th time you listen to it. track 7 is pretty
|
|
funny. so is track 5. you ought to buy this. have i said
|
|
that before?

Godel, Escher & Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, by Douglas R Hofstadter.
|
|
Review by Old Pink
|
|
|
|
This is a seriously good book. If you never thought about
|
|
thought before, then this is where you get it. It was written
|
|
by a guy in Bloomington (imagine), and it's really good. It
|
|
focuses a lot on mathmatical incompleteness theory, the math
|
|
of Bach, and the art of Escher. This is a heavyweight book
|
|
(weighing in at 750+ pages) and is a great read. Plus, it has
|
|
a lot of cool Escher stuff in it.
|
|
|
|
So far, I've read 486 pages and perhaps understood 450. There
|
|
a quite a few tough spots you need to reread a few times to
|
|
get it right, and a few spots where a laptop is handy (testing
|
|
the tortise property of numbers, for example). I also skipped
|
|
about 20 pages of a dialogue about Aunt Hillary. Geez, DRH,
|
|
get with it. The Dialogues are nifty and kinda cute, but uh,
|
|
hey man, WE GET THE POINT after a while. We understand Aunt
|
|
Hillary. LAY OFF!
|
|
|
|
But it's a good book. Don't let my incoherency stop you from
|
|
reading it. I've spent the last 3 weeks (and weekends, if you
|
|
wondered where I was) reading this thing. Good book.

Roll Your Own

As most of you know, this rag is put out electronically as well as
|
|
by paper. If you want to be widespread with your own rag, then that
|
|
is what you have to do if your budget is limited. In our new, modern
|
|
dirty little world, electronic information systems are up in some
|
|
form in just about every country, city, and town. If you like
|
|
to blow your mouth off like we do, why not write your own paper?
|
|
It doesn't take much computer knowledge to get your word spread all
|
|
over the proverbial hell. All you have to do is just know someone
|
|
with the knowledge to do it. The only way anything in this world is
|
|
going to get changed, is if we all start saying something. Be loud
|
|
about it! Voice your opinion before that right get's completely
|
|
taken away.
|
|
Well, we are here to help you out. If you don't want to write
|
|
your own paper, but would like to get some stuff published, then
|
|
send it to us. If you just want to write us a letter, that's ok
|
|
to. If we think your article fits the format of this newsletter,
|
|
we'll stick it in. Well print your letters and answer them as well.
|
|
If you want to get copies of this mailed to you, then just send us
|
|
a couple of stamps. If you want a year subscription, send us
|
|
5 bucks.

Well, people, this version you have just read or skipped through is the
|
|
electronic version. This is fundamentaly different that the paper issue.
|
|
The paper issue is full of cartoons, cool cover art, and several articles
|
|
that are not in the electronic issue. The articles that aren't in it are
|
|
the ones people gave to us typed on typewriters (ugh), and not file versions.
|
|
Needless to say, we are entirely too lazy to type these in. Besides, we
|
|
feel that you don't get the full effect of the magazine if you don't
|
|
have all of the art etc. So, if you want one, just send us a couple of
|
|
stamps to the above address and you'll get it in the mail... Hell, we'd
|
|
be extremely glad to send you one... the more the merrier eh?
