Activist Times Inc. Issue 272
"In the 1960's the police used to talk about "outside agitators"
causing problems in otherwise peaceful demonstrations so that
they could justify riding in on horses clubbing young people
whose only crime was opposing the war in Viet Nam. The
strategy of creating the evil few to repress the many is a very
old one. Don't buy it."
--Judy Rebick

Hi, I'm Prime Anarchist and this is the news you
need:
Apparently, there is a court order suppressing Idependent
Media Center from broadcasting or posting anything about
the FBI raiding the Seattle IMC on Saturday evening while
Quebec is in choas. Hey you constitutional attornies. Get
out of bed and march over to the fbi or supreme court and
let em know that these rights will not be suppressed.

I had some other things I wanted to compose for this
issue but they'll have to wait. Time is of the essence,
they always say.

always where very educated and polite with
Snowhite. When they go out work at mornign,

was anxious. Suddlently, the door open, and
the Seven Dwarfs enter...

to Prime Anarchist
at the very last minute the management of the
slipper room has informed us that they have
canceled this sunday's klong show because they
had a more lucrative offer to rent out the room
that evening.
so, there is no klong show tomorrow, sunday
april 22.
additionally, we are putting the klong show
on hold until we can find a venue that is a bit
more supportive. please stay tuned for the
imminent re-launch of The Klong Show.

a poem for the corporate media
by Oak
Warrior Poet Society - Planet Earth
You heard it here first:
[editor's note: well, second. This
is a reprint from Vermont Indy]
Why allow the mainstream media to set the limits
of debate or coin our phrases? We say: the light
at the end of the corporados global tunnel is the
oncoming train; a train WRECK IN QUEBEC !
WRECK IN QUEBEC
a poem for the corporate media
the mainstream tabloids
must get hemmroids
from lifting all that hype,
here in the trenches
beyond the fences
we're compelled to take a swipe,
at network boardrooms
endless hair grooms
and your basic corporate type,
so what the heck
a wreck in quebec
was not the time quite ripe?
BAGHDAD, Iraq (PAWN) -- Iraq has warned Iran that its
missile attack on eastern Iraq risked a revival of
1980-88 when Reagan and Bush bombarded each other
with epithets, swears and bad language like, "Voodoo
Economics," and "Damn Yale Bastard," "Nice Toupe,
Rawhide," and "Dumb Yankee Bastard."
Iran has acknowledged its armed forces attacked
Iraqi bases of the rebel Mujahedeen Khalq on Wednesday
morning because they "miss that old Ronnie Reagan guy,
maybe W Bush will respond in kind." The acknowledgment
came in a letter delivered to the U.N. Security Council
in New York late Wednesday.
The attack killed three people and wounded 23 others,
Iraqi official media and the Mujahedeen Khalq said
Thursday. All but one of the casualties were Iraqis.
"His name was Truth," said Ramses Clarkent.
Iranian state television reported the attack Thursday,
but gave no word of casualties.
A Parody Ending To Help Keep You Going.
by Robert Cox
To the tune your "National" Anthem
And the the teargas canisters,
Water cannons everywhere,
Gave proof through the night
Revolution's in the air.
O say, does that red-black banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
And I mean it this time; free.
We end with a folksong.
[ed note: it's always nice when we
can get all "broadsidish" on you.]
With Wall Street on our Side
Original words by Bob Dylan
New words by Doug Wheeler
C F C F C F G F C
C F Em F C
Oh my name it is nothing' my age it mean less
F C
The company I work for is in the Midwest
F C
I'm forced to agree there the policies to abide
F G F C
And that company I work for has Wall Street on its side.
Oh the Journal it tells it and it tells it so well
The stockholders sniffled and the workers all fell
Yes, the stockholders sniffled and morale all died
And that company I work for has Wall Street on its side.
Oh the lowliest workers all had thier day
And then middle management was soon laid away
And the names of the CEOs I was made to memorize
With a bonus in their hands and Wall Street on their side.
The First Quarter came, boys it closed out its fate
The reason for the layoffs I never got straight
But I learned to accept it, accept it in stride
Oh you don't count the missing when Wall Street's on your side.
But now we got workers left standing in the dust
If fire them we're forced to, then fire them we must
One click of the mouse and emailed the world wide
And you never ask questions when Wall Street's on your side
In a many dark hour I've been thinking' about this
That Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss
But I can't think for you, you'll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot, had Wall Street on his side.
When the Stock Market Slide comes to an end
We'll forgive the bosses and call them our friends
Though they fired six million, on the dole they all dried.
The new bosses now too have Wall Street on their side.
I've learned to trust no one, all through my work life
If another crash comes, It's them we must fight
To hate them and fear them and in my cube hide
And accept it all bravely with Wall Street on our side.
So now as I'm leaving', I'm weary as hell
The confusion I'm feelin' ain't no tongue can tell
Who words fill my head and fall to the floor
If the Street's on our side then just shut the door.
