Greeting2u, and welcome 2 ATI 190.
Heyoka moon is upon us. The half one.
I almost got eaten by a cougar last night.
It was wonderful. I'll tell you about it
some day. Let me stop vibrating first though.
Gimme a week or two. As you see up top, I've
dedicated this entire issue to journalist
Allan Nairn who sits in a jail cell near
Jakarta, for what? His only crime in this
world I feel, is upholding his journalistic
ethics and plodding along standing up for
what's right. Umm. Where have we heard this
before? Tune in each week when we list three
or four new casualties of the war on the
FIrST amMENdMENt of the US Constipation.
And internationally? Just plain simple!
The war on human rights. The one my
government is almost as complicitous in, as
all the other bad "evil" "ucky" nation-
states out there.
I'm prime anarchist and this is the #'s
run for ATI190 this half-moon sunday, 420pm SST,
spentral stranded time.

TO ALL CONCERNED
On Saturday and Sunday, 2-3 October 1999,
an international demonstration will take
place in Sweden, England, and the United
States east and west coasts. Demonstrators
from other nations are expected to participate,
as well. This will be a peaceful demonstration
to protest the ethnic cleansing and human rights
violations being committed by the United States
government within its own borders.
The Southeastern Native American Alliance (SENAA)
is now organizing a protest demonstration to protest
the human rights violations and attempted genocide
of the Dine'h people at Big Mountain, Black Mesa,
Arizona. We will hold simultaneous demonstrations
in front of the United Nations building in New
York City; in front of the White House and Capitol
Building in Washington, DC; and at two locations
on the U.S. Pacific coast. In England and Sweden,
at the same time as U.S. demonstrations, protests
will be held in front of the U.S. embassies in
those countries. On the nights of the 2nd and 3rd,
candlelight prayer vigils will be held to invoke
Creator's power to help the Dine'h--to help us all.
If you have seen the video, "VANISHING PRAYER
Genocide of the Dine," that SENAA currently has
on http://www.freespeech.org/senaa , then you
have some idea why SENAA has organized this
protest demonstration. If you wish to know more,
or are unfamiliar with the ordeal that the Dine'h
(Navajo) people are facing and the impact that it
can have on every living American citizen,
SENAA urges you to visit its web site
Newsletter at:
http://members.xoom.com/senaa/index2.html
Thank you for taking the time to read this
letter. Thank you in advance to those of you
who decide to join this demonstration. We need
your help in NYC, DC, in Los Angeles, Netherlands,
England, Sweden, or wherever in the world you plan
to participate in this demonstration.
Sincerely yours
Al Swilling
SENAA President/Founder

THE PUBLISHER'S SIKK TWIZZTED RANT.
(a little out of order, but hey, isn't life
grand? Or was that isn't life supposed to be
that way?)
Hola, I'm prime anarchist and here's my rant,
Sikh and twizzler as it may be, or hey, ain't
life candy? Order up, hey is that a ranticle,
or are you just happy to sea me? Throw care

horse, man how're you liking ATI these days?

Who gains everything but has no

Acquires no spine?
Aspires to have no spine.
What gives.
It takes him 3 days to announce
He has "used no drug

Has no spine.

My personal "new world's record." That #,
1752 is how many files I deleted from my

Note: I do that once or twice a day. Am I
moving a bit too fast lately? No wonder
I've been feeling dizzy now and then.
And there I thought I needed either
vitamins or mutton...
I end my ranticle with Guitar Anarchy Tip #10
Muffle the thing for all your nite-time wailing.
Cut a strip of suede about five inches long by
half an inch wide. 16th inch thick? I just use
scraps I find. I'm vegetarian. (Not vegan, get
off me!)
Put it on a guitar you'd like to use for 3am
scales playing. I guarantee you'll be the only one
who hears it, and you won't need bridgework for
an extra year of so on that machine! The thinner
the piece of suede (I haven't tried harder cuts
yet, like raw hide, I'll tell you how I fare as
I go) the less you'll "fret" over intonation
changes.
"Happy fingering..."

Taxpayer as Restaurant Owner.
by prime anarchist
Remember last year's election highbrow bruhaha
about honoraria and campaign contributions?
I don't see any of that as morally wrong per se,
just a major conflict of interest.
Let's see what we can dredge up for these
upcoming primaries, huh? How about a slightly new
paradigm?? Politician-hopeful-elect A (we'll call
him or her "pea," the "h" is silent) is given two
choices:
1) Current wage at taxpayer expense. No extras,
no honoraria, no campaign contributions.
2) Waitress wage at taxpayer expense. (yes, not
even 3 bucks per hour) pea is allowed to drudge up
all the extras s/he can get of his or her own
gumption.
Waddya think?

a poem
I walk in the room;
I pass you by.
You turn around and look me
Up and down.
You look at your son;
I pass by him to my own stall.
"Don't forget to wash your
Hands, son," you say, looking
Back and forth between him and me.
You go back to pee'ing in your own
Urinal.
Where you believe teaching is
Complete.
Effective.
And long lasting.

SHORT MOVIE REVIEW
Have you seen "White Trash Girl?"
One factual inconsistr'hood'ncy
I feel I ought mention.
Prior to urinating all over a
potential rapist, our protagonist
peels off her hat and parka. Throws
them to the pavement.
The scene after her peeing all
over the putz has her walking down
a different street wearing the same
parka and hat. (looks like she's
pimpin' but we won't go there...)
Now, this is a cobblestreet
looking like Providence or Paris.
Would she be able to simply
march on back there pronto and pluck
up her parka and hat off the pavement?
Possible, but so highly unlikely
that it slowed down my suspension of
disbelief enough to make me ponder
the purity of this play.
Peculiar.
Other than that? Potent, great,
powerful, thought provoking stuff.
Wow.

Ode To Pie
humbly borrowed without asking
from the Country Kitchen 1999
CKI menu. Country Kitsch, International
retains all rights.
{Eat pie!}
Sweet and salty, wet and dry.
There's no taste quite as fine as pie.
Fresh at home or on the road,
I'll take my slice a la mode.
Apple, berry, chocolate, cherry,
Bring me pie, and please hurry.
I can't wait to clean my plate
So I can taste that pie, so great!
But what if I'm full,
That would be the worst...
Maybe I'll have my pie first!

OPEN LETTER TO RETAIL STORES
I don't believe you should have a website
on your own domain (especially one you
advertise on obligatory employee t-shirts
unless you're willing to fund the extra
process of offering those employees free
email and perhaps personal webspace.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Another prime anarchist poem.
Sometimes choosing where you'll be
Is a very big thing.
Can cause so much to happen.
Cause big things to happen.
Often picking where to sit.
Is a very small step.
That sets a wider light aglow.
Sets a bigger light a glow.
Many times a movement
Is a very new thing
Can cause a sitting soul to stir.
Causes a big ol' soul to move.
Sometimes choosing where we'll go
Is bigger than us all.
Sitting, sitting holds us all up to see
Sitting, sitting lights us up, sets us,
Sets us up to see.
---ona move---
WE END THIS 'EZINE WITH ALLAN NAIRN'S
STATEMENT TO HIS INDONESIAN CAPTORS
I know that the army has put me on the black list.
They did this because I watched their soldiers murder more
than 271 people at the Santa Cruz cemetery. This
crime was the responsibility of the Indonesian army
commander, General Try Sutrisno and the Minister of Defense,
General Benny Murdani.
The murders were committed with American M-16 rifles.
The American government also bears some of the responsibility
because they have armed, trained, and given money to the
TNI/ABRI, even though they knew the TNI/ABRI is led by
murderers and is responsible for the deaths of hundreds
of thousands of Timorese, Acehnese, West Papuan and
Indonesian civilians.
Because I survived the massacre and denounced the
crime to the outside world, the TNI/ABRI and the Suharto
government banned me as a "threat to national security."
That ban has been reaffirmed by each subsequent TNI/ABRI
commander, including General Tanjung and General Wiranto.
I do not think that I am a threat to the Indonesian or
Timorese people, but I hope that I am a threat to General
Wiranto and General Tanjung, and the other present and
former leaders of the TNI/ABRI. I believe that they feel
threatened by anyone who would expose their crimes. General
Wiranto and Generals Bambang, Zacky, Syafei, Kiki, and many
others, for example, are responsible for the current militia
terror in occupied East Timor and for the increase in
repression against the people of Aceh. This is no secret
to the people of Timor or to the people of Indonesia or Aceh.
They have suffered for decades under the repression and
corruption of TNI/ABRI.vMany brave Indonesians, Timorese,
Acehnese, and West Papuans have been killed, arrested,
tortured or raped because they dared to criticize the army
and demand their right to freedom.
As a foreigner and a journalist, particularly an
American journalist, I know that I enjoy a certain de facto
political leeway that enables me to say things that local
people would be killed for saying. I have tried to use that
privilege to tell the truth about TNI/ABRI. If, because of
this, the army feels they must arrest or jail me, then I
know that there is nothing I can do to stop them. But they
know that they cannot arrest or kill all the people of
Indonesia. That is why they are now so fearful, and that
is why I believe they will lose their desperate struggle
to retain their hold on power and their police state.
During my most recent detention, I have been
interrogated by officials from army Intel, police Intel,
Kopassus Group 5, and many other units. They have asked
me many questions about my political motives and opinions.
I would summarize my opinions this way:
I am pro human rights, pro democracy, and anti
TNI/ABRI. I am a supporter of the people of East Timor,
Aceh, West Papua, and Indonesia, and an opponent of the
officials who have repressed and exploited them.
As an American citizen who is visiting Indonesia and
occupied East Timor, I also want to be clear that I believe
in even-handedness. The same political, moral and legal
standards that are applied to TNI/ABRI officers should
also be applied to the officers and political leaders
of the United States. So while I support the UN
Secretary-General's call for war crimes and crimes
against humanity prosecution on East Timor, I think
that the prosecution should not be limited to Indonesian
officials. Foreign officials who were accomplices to
atrocities in East Timor, and provided both murder
weapons and the logistics of repression should also
be charged, prosecuted and if convicted, jailed.
Pragmatically, it is hard to imagine General Wiranto
sitting in jail. It is even harder to imagine President
Clinton as his cellmate. But justice should be impartial.
It is time for the genocide to end. Untold thousands
of Timorese lie slaughtered. Their families are bereft. The
victims of Santa Cruz, Liquica, and Suai can no longer speak.
Those of us who can should insist that the killing stop
right now. And we should also insist that the killers
face justice, regardless of who they are.
These same principles apply of course to atrocities
everywhere. I think that this is a simple idea and that
most people would agree.
If General Wiranto or any other officials have further
questions about my views, I would be glad to answer them
personally at a time and place of their choosing. I would
also be glad to give details on the crimes referred to
above, and on the complicity in them of General Wiranto
and other officials.
