Something's terribly wrong.
I wake up at 6:30am on a Monday needing to
watch "Natural Born Killers," and "Three Kings."
Then it occurs to me, like a small cinder
block on the top of your head - hey colander
head, you haven't collated last nite's ATI
yet!
PA SHOUTS BACK AT AP
"The...nationalists offered clemency by President
Clinton were members of two groups with ties to
Cuban..."
SO WHAT. WHAT ELSE HAS CUBA DONE TO U S
BESIDES MAKE SUGAR AND HEALTHCARE FREE TO ALL???
"David Kaczynski shared the Justice Award with his
wife...who first suspected..."
TIPPER?? PHOOEY! EVEN IN MAFIA TIMES THE U.S.
NEVER HONORED SNITCHES, STOOLS AND STOOGES. AT
LEAST NOT OVERTLY. GET THE LOG OUT OF YOUR EYE,
LADY LIBERTY. THESE ARE SCAREY TIMES.
"National Council of Churches Is In Dire Straights."
GOOD. WE DIDN'T NEED THEM ANYHOW.
ON WITH THE INKUISITION.
"The Judge is-sued..."
I WISH.
"Wyoming looks to restore it's image."
IMAGE? IMAGE???
IMAGE! IF THAT'S ALL YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT RIGHT
NOW, HOLY COW. LET'S PUT THE WHOLE STATE UNDER WATER.
ON WITH THE AQUAZITION.
"But if Trump declares as a candidate, he has 30
days to file a financial disclosure report."
LET'S SEE, I KNOW. 4 WEEKS IS plenty OF TIME TO
FILE AN APPEAL B E F O R E THE COURT CASE EVEN
BEGINS, A N D DONATE ALL YOUR CASH TO YOUR OWN
PRIVATE TRUST FUND, JUST IN CASE.
IF YOU NEED ADVISEMENT THERE, SEE BILL GATES.
BRING ON THE OP-IZITION.
And in other news:
Have you seen this pen?
MEN: Don't lose benefits!
Use this to Register with
Selective Service, or use
the Internet:www.sss.gov
So why did this thought suddenly jump into
my head when I scanned that red white and
blue expensive LOOKING Bic, corp. pen?
A woman is like an ad agency.
Always trying to get you to
click at certain spots.
I'm your prime anarchist and this is my
prime anarchist productions #'s run for
Sunday, 7nov99. It is eighteen hundred
hours on the dot. Wait, nope a little
after that.

Dear marc frucht:
Thank you for taking the time to contact me regarding
the School of the Americas. I appreciate having the
benefit of your views on this matter.
I am appalled at the very high number of SOA graduates
who have been implicated in human rights abuses throughout
Latin America, especially those responsible for the killings
of the Jesuits in San Salvador, and others cited as human rights
violators by the U.N. Truth Commission.
I recognize that the Pentagon and others have argued that the SOA
plays an important role in professionalization of Latin American
military leaders by providing training in human rights and in the
appropriate role of the military vis-a-vis civilian governments in
democratic societies. However, I believe the long record of abuses
perpetrated by many of SOA's graduates undermines the strength
of those arguments. To the contrary, closing the SOA would be an
important signal of the Administration's commitment to promoting
human rights and democratic institutions throughout Latin America.
As you may know, I am an original cosponsor of S. 908, a bill
which would require the Secretary of the Army to close the SOA.
This legislation is currently being considered by the Senate
Committee on Armed Services. In addition, the FY 1998 Foreign
Operations Appropriations bill signed into law by the President
on November 26, 1997, mandates that no funding shall be provided
for military training at the SOA until the Secretary of Defense
certifies that certain requirements have been met. First, it
must be consistent with the training provided to U.S. military
personnel. Second, specific guidelines regarding the selection
and admission of students to the SOA must be established.
Finally, the Secretary of Defense must submit a report to the
Committee on Appropriations detailing training activities and
providing an assessment of the performance of the SOA's
1996 graduates.
As I have stated previously, I believe we spend too much on
international military aid, education and training, and I'll
continue to oppose wasteful and unnecessary spending in this
area which could better be used to meet pressing domestic needs.
Again, thank you for contacting me. I hope that you will
continue to keep me informed about matters that concern you.
Sincerely,
Paul David Wellstone
United States Senator

Subject: School Of The Americas'
As Ally, Not Foe, Of Drug Trade
The Pentagon continues to maintain the
School of the Americas purportedly to fight
drug production and trafficking in Latin America
There is mounting evidence, ironically, that the
military in many Latin American countries is
deployed to PROTECT the drug trade.
Recruits to the "school" at Ft. Benning, Ga., are
allegedly arriving with bags of drug money to be
laundered in the States.
About the Rev. Roy Bourgeois himself: He is the
antithesis of the angry fanatic railing against monstrous
foreign policy. He made his statement, for which he served
time in federal prison, and he remains a man of hope and joy.
Thanks to Salter's article more of us will join Father Roy's
campaign to close the School of the Americas. Bill and Henrietta
Griffitts Martinez Regarding Stephanie Salter's article on the
"School of Assassins / School of the Americas," and on the
previous page the editorial, "Margaritas at the monastery" :
Thank you for giving us worthwhile, meaningful and helpful
articles.
I have one question: Why is the School of the Americas so
protected by our government?

So how do you deal with violence?
Run from it? Ignore it?
Enlighten me on how to remove corrupt
officials from office without violence.
One of the key points of the Manifesto
is that refusing to accept violence
as a legitimate option ignores the
example of our founding fathers.
Corrupt officials do not die and
go away.
They breed and contaminate.

100 LESS GREAT MOMENTS IN THE AMERICAN CENTURY.
What's this obsession with greatness. And
why is appearing great more important than being
great to most?
I leave out problems I have with calling ours
the American Century, (can you say ethnocentrism
for one?) there are too many. I will just mention
one more and move on with it. In the Guitar Anarchy
Tips #'s 5,6,7 8... cha cha cha! dept: I've seen
so many albums come out this decade saying so and
so sings or plays The Greatest Christmas Songs.
Well for next year, I'm publishing "Marco Sings and
Plays The Mediocre Christmas Songs."
Anyhow, here's a list with little or no explanation
(BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TO) of the top things I think
happened from quite a while before I was born until
"nowish."
THE DUMBEST AMERIKAN CENTURY AS TOLD BY ANARKIST PREIM
These 69 are about all you need to know.
68 things happened between 1900 and 1999. There's
liable to be 70 more in the next month and a half, but
for brevity sake we dare not dally over there.
-month-
-year-
...event...
...explanation if need be...
12 89 United States each begin recovering from a great
depression. The inventor of the slide rule
warns of a millenium bug that will ruin
things "sometime in the next 100 years or so."
11 00 "Fighting Bob" LaFollette elected governor of WI.
2 06 "The Jungle" the book.
11 06 Teddy Roosevelt visits Panama Canal
6 09 "The Melting Pot" the broadway play.
5 11 Standard Oil Dilutes. Rockefellor can't make a buck
unless he wants to borrow money from the
Gates's up on Oak Street.
8 12 Bull Moose Party. Makes Ross Perot look like...
...well, not Nader/LaDuke
2 13 16th ammendment. They'll stone you when you make
an extra buck...
8 20 A woman gets to vote. Wow, what an idea.
8 27 Nicola and Bartolomeo execution (sacco & venzetti

8 35 Social Security Act "they'll stone ya..."
10 38 WOW. And not Womens Rasslin. Orson Welles
9 40 Ed Morrow.
2 42 Rosie the Riveter. (women still don't conscript at
18 like I did. "We" didn't do it. We just
danced and beat the drum!)
6 44 D Day. Everyone's favorite day. I don't see what all
the rave is. I mean they weren't the Beatles.
Why were that many people on one beach???
Ira Hayes storms Iwo Jima while Forrest
Kassanavoid takes Utah beach with Ike trying
for Normandy. Russia spanks Hitler and Bill
Gates gives the army the credit. Kissinger
agrees to loan ITT, Maggie Thatcher and
Gates a couple bucks.
8 45 US kills 138,000 nuking to save "millions." Never
...read any of Jesus "Sheep" parables, didja?
4 47 Jackie Robinson risks his life and death.

Brady Bunch...
7 47 Oppenheimer says "Uranium Sucks"

11 48 Dewey thinks he won
9 52 Checkers. Almost more important than Woodstock.
But then you can't have one without the
other, heh?
6 53 Rosenbergs murdered. Like many of Hitler's victims
across the giant river, they were lower middle
class artists who loved each other very much
and raised children with compassion 'til death.
5 54 Brown man (topeka?) v. Bored of White man.
6 54 Army/Navy, I mean Army/McCarthy, halftime. Century's
most profound? Don't scare me...
12 55 Rosa Parks goes to jail. Sign me up...
...You're not telling ME where to sit either.
I just can't stand it...
6 56 Eisenhower signs to build roads for the military, then civs!
9 56 The big E followed by the little L. (elvis?)
9 57 Little Rock. National Guard, Regular Army AND state and
local po-lice? Surprised you didn't send the
Peace Corps Volunteers. The police state grows
up. We've been plagued ever since, no thanks 2
William Jefferson Clinton. Fascist...
7 59 Nikita wallops Dick over the head with a Converse Allstar
5 60 FDA approves the pill, herpes, unbleached needles,
and puts out a call for some good coke.
George George, nowhere to be found. Where's
that little sniffer when you need him?
5 60 U2 incident. Bono throws tantrum, rejects pablum. Mom at
a loss. Calls Dr. Spock. Ritalin invented in
Westchester, Conn. by someone, I forgot.
Not Eli Whitney...
7 60 To Kill a Mockingbird, the movie
9 60 Kennedy/Nixon pretend there's forum, debate, democracy
and issues.
1 61 Kennedy says in 1300 words or less what his quest for
struggle against common enemies will consist
of. Overcoming tyranny, poverty, disease and
war? Watch your back: Dallas 1300 hours! Who knew...
2 62 John Glenn snubbed. Whines all the way into gerentology.
10 62 Kruchev, Nixon and Castro fight over Monica
Lewinski's dad's cigar. Fancy that, they
didn't know it was just bubble gum. Neither
did Monica.
6 63 Governor Wallace uses the 'N' word publicly. "Nigger," in
case you didn't know. No one kicks him. Shame.
8 63 MLK's famous "I have a dream" speech. "No Dick;
You can't deport him. He was born here."
8 63 Medgar Evers, Bob Dylan, Quarter Million, DC.
Kissinger to Nixon: "No, you can't deport
him, he's Jewish. They'll nuke us.
11 63 Kennedy killed. Kissinger laughs at a Lenny Bruce joke.
Or was that Lenny Bruce killed, Kennedy laughs
at Kissinger, I don't remember.
2 64 Lyndon Junior born out of wedlock.
2 64 Prime Anarchist born in the same Norwalk hospital.
7 64 Civil Rights Act.
4 67 "No Viet Kong ever called me Nigga." M. Ali
1 68 tet offensive. (isn't all of war?)
2 68 Cesar Chavez Hunger Strike. He means biz...
4 68 MLK jr killed
6 68 a Kennedy killed, civil gov't gives up the ghost
8 68 Mayor Daley, Abbie Hoffman. Need I say more?
...what, Abbie's not allowed to be
a Bears fan?
8 69 Woodstock. I love the number 69. Safe and warm.
7 71 Pentagon Papers. You mean nothing's changed?
6 72 Bob, Carl, Watergate. No Lewinski yet.
1 73 Roe vs Wade. Contrary to popular belief this has nothing
to do with Danforth Quayle. "Roe," Is a clean.
"Wade," Is a dirty...
8 74 Nixon Resigns ...Claims he was set up. "I thought you
meant "sign again..."
3 79 3 Mile Island
11 79 No one knows about Iran Contra yet. 52 human beings
used as pawns. Not the first time in US hist...
3 81 With just 4 words, Hollywood henchman R Reagan
pulls off the largest newsroom coup in
US history. "You're too liberal lately,"
sends almost every legitimate news organ
including radio and especially TV so far
to the right their butts hurt. Dittoheads
from sea to shining sea still try to
abuse that phrase to this day.
7 87 Oliver North subpeona'd. Edwin Meese spends three days
straight trying to erase every single e-mail in
the White House. His ISP turns over duplicates of
all the ones between him, Reagan and Noriega.
Meese turns state and gets a cushy job in a midwest
suburb with a new wife and a new dog. Or was that a
new dog and a new... (wag checkers?)
89ish, 90ish. Rome vs. Dade. It's all a blurr to me. Noriega
hides out in the Vatican, Carter nukes Hitler,
Gadafi calls Bush a sodomizer, Rogaine loses
his mind, we lose our freedom, (have you seen spot?)
M. Ali says "let my people go." Monica wags
Nixon's hot-dog. What DID happen those years?
4 92 Rodney King
4 92 Clinton has sax with MTV. Youth ask him, if elected...
...will you come right back on for "town
meeting? A resounding yes. 5 years later he
shows. I'd call that a screwing.
3 95 Oklahoma City bombing. Gov't tries desperately to
paint it as not right wing terrorism
11 99 School of the Americas closes its doors. Clinton gives famous
speech releasing Leonard Peltier and Mumia Abu Jamal
saying our people will never again support death squads,
paramilitaries, assassinations, election fraud and verbal
abuse.
12 99 Prime Anarchist wakes up to the same Aparteid Amerikan Style he's
known and lived under since before he was born.

"You are about to be told one more time that you are
Americas most valuable natural resource. Have you
seen what they do to valuable natural resources?
Have you seen a strip mine? Have you seen a clearcut
in the forest? Have you seen a polluted river? Don't
ever let them call you a valuable natural resource.
They're going to strip mine your soul. They're going
to clearcut your best thoughts for the sake of profit,
unless you learn to resist. Because the profit system
follows the path of least resistance and following
the path of least resistance is what makes a river
crooked ... make a break for it kids, flee to the
wilderness the one within if you can find it."

With the push of 10 tele-
phone buttons, Gov.
Jeb Bush launched a new
area code Monday for the
Cape Canaveral, Fla., area:
321. That's 3-2-1 as in
liftoof! Bush used
the new area code
to call NASA offi-
cials and dignitaries
in a conferencing
room at the
Kennedy Space Center.
The new area code was the
"one of those light-bulb
ideas," Bush said, that
should draw even more
attention to Brevard County
and the space industry.

As is the traduccion, (sic.) we end with a
homemade poem.
...this one's called Usury: American Style!
If you pay full price
Even when you can't
"Afford" to - you
Aren't paying as much
As one who deals.
If you give away
Without looking back
At a loss - you'll get back
More than one who
Steals.
