Crazy Mother Fuckers

In the two weeks before I came to Iraq, I developed a strange muscle tension in the left side of my neck. It would begin about eleven in the morning, growing increasingly stronger as the day went on, as I ran around town tying up loose ends, purchasing equipment, and reading everything I could lay my hands on about Iraq and the Middle East. By evening my neck muscles would feel hard and stiff, and I would usually have the unpleasant sensation of choking or almost vomiting at least three times each night.

"Post-Anarchism Anarchy"

Hakim Bey (1987)

The Association for Ontological Anarchy gathers in
conclave, black turbans & shimmering robes, sprawled
on shirazi carpets sipping bitter coffee, smoking long
chibouk & sibsi. Question: What's our position on all
these recent defections & desertions from anarchism
(esp. in California-Land): condemn or condone? Purge
them or hail them as advance-guard? Gnostic elite...or
traitors?

An Anti-Rap Rant in the Meter of Seuss"

Maurice Norbert


Yo… Em, 50 cent, Dre, Snoop, DMX
Roll down the window of that tricked up gold lex
Give me a minute to let me say thanks t’ya
For the career advice ya’ll gave to my wanksta
Son, who wasn’t sure what he would do
Was flailing around for his path as he grew
But finally found the Holy Grail that he sought
In the ciphers and videos of your songs that he bought
Now I know how to get his life on the right track
I can see how my old plan for him was just whack
You guys make so much more money than me
I saw you win gold on the MTV
You call women bitches and Hos when you please
Then find em all lined up backstage on their knees
All I had was some girlfriends then just my wife
For the last 25 years, that ain’t much of a life
I just know my boy can do better like you
When he’s a bit older and you’re older too
Maybe when you have daughters just about sixteen
He’ll be in his prime, you know just what I mean

"Situation Excellent, I Am Attacking"

"That's the spirit, George. If nothing else works, then a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through."
-- General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett, 'Blackadder Goes Forth'

There is not enough grammar in the entirety of the English language to describe the incredible international humiliation that has befallen the United States of America. That this humiliation was brought down upon the American people by the man supposedly in charge of the country is, in all honesty, no big surprise for those who have been watching this all unfold. The layers of crushing embarrassment have been building like river sediment for months upon months upon months. On Tuesday, however, George W. Bush managed to completely obliterate the hard-won standing the United States has earned within the global community.

"You already know that things have gotten bad. Our democracy was drunkenly crashed and never sent to the repair shop. The government is preaching liberty but imprisoning a higher percentage of its citizens than any other country on earth. Now it is trying to evade the few remaining protections the courts will enforce by "disappearing" people indefinitely in cages on foreign soil where the Constitution won't reach. It is condoning, and even participating in torture -- in the twenty-first century: torture! It is using bald-faced lies to justify world-dominating ambitions of a sort we used to like to claim we were defending the world against.

"Should Anarchists Support Suicide Bombers?"

"I am an exceptionally active Jewish anarchist who once resided in Israel and currently has many relatives living there. Lately I've been getting really fed up with some of my anarchist friends when we're discussing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict because often, like Rachel Corrie, you can hear the restrained hero-worship of Palestinian suicide bombers beneath the subtext of their arguments. They wear kaffiyehs in solidarity, and scrawl "Israel out of Palestine" on bathroom walls, purportedly identifying with the Palestinian independence struggle, like this clown at the WTO demo in Cancun doing his best impression of a rock-tossing Palestinian teenager.

"Thou Sayest: Is Brainwashing Possible?"

by William H. Kennedy


"On the way to the police station Elizabeth did something quite unexpected. She began to defend her abductors and claiming that she did not want them to get into trouble or go to jail. Elizabeth was abducted by an ex-communicated Mormon named Brian David Mitchell and his wife Wanda Barzee who lived a cult-like existence. Mitchell sees himself as a Prophetic and at times Messianic figure. In his deranged world he came to the conclusion that Elizabeth Smart was his God ordained second wife after he completed some minor repair work at the Smart home. After he captured Elizabeth at knife point by cutting a window screen and entering her bedroom he took her on a seven month Odyssey through a strange world of homelessness, preaching and begging, the details of which are only slowly emerging in the popular media."
