Dear Friends, 

NEWS: Madonna plans techno terror video to protest war, Bush

Madonna we gotcher back- we will fucking TAKE TO THE STREETS Feb 16th to show
our intent to reclaim our reality and metaphors. See you on the fuckn barricades,
chica. Communicate what we find important and it will fucking happen- this war
won't happen. 

Millions of people are fighting the constant class war of the prosperous few occupying
the lands and minds of the restless many. I've had a cold for 2 months. Coincidence?
This planet feels so sick- Earth dreading the militarization of space,
proliferation of nukes, and consumption of energy, all towards the goals of progress
and capital. Humanity's infection of hyper-capitalism and illegitimate power
is getting inflamed- festering in violent backlash from those in power because 
they are afraid of losing their control. Everyone is fucking waking up
and taking their lives/mandates to power back.

500 years ago, whomever was king because GOD WILLED IT
100 years ago, women & blacks couldn't vote, workers were basically slaves.

Liberty is fucking triumphing in the human mind. Existence is hard and they
don't want to lose their fucking cages and motherfucking evil intentions.

There are two exponential curves right now- one is the human mind's awareness
of liberty and desire to rebel against illegitimate power, the other curve
is technological innovations of power, greed, and capital that conspire to
consume humanity and its planet. They are both climbing very rapidly right
now, but hope and love transform reality much "better" than fear or avarice.

1962 = Kennedy announced bombing of vietnam, no protests.
1983 = Reagan announcing invasion of granada, protests cause leaders to hide
secret wars from the population, getting OTHERS to fund atrocities that support
US-based businesses.
2003 = Motherfucking open DISSENT for a war that allegedly hasn't started yet.
Hundreds of thousands of people in the fucking STREETS.

That's only 40 years of organization, communication, activism. 40 years on 
top of all of the rest of humanity's experiences.

So they react with fear and boogeymen to justify our 3 million people in prisons,
removal of rights for the next generations (environmental, civil liberties), all
in the name of robbing the fucking country blind.

I am encouraged by the brutal totalitarian regime in this police state. It means
that there are increasingly no pretenses of democracy. People aren't as complacent
anymore, everyone is admitting that democracy is actually "one vote = one dollar".
We the people recognize that there is no meaningful democratic input to combat
moneyed interests.

Nobody in the US WANTS WAR. The US had to be tricked to declare war in WW2 and WW1
because war is fucking BAD- at least for poor people (which is all of us now).

EVERYBODY FUCKING KNOWS THIS- if fucking MADONNA KNOWS that materialism is bad
and the US has murderers and liars for leaders, and MADONNA reacts by making 
a video to communicate this worldview to everyone else, if MADONNA recognizes
that not seeing your point of view represented in the corporate PR mechanisms
of the mass media is very terrifying because you feel alone like "nobody else
feels this way, i must be crazy...", if MADONNA fucking knows that it's not
in the media's interest to unite people to express themselves... 

The fucking TRICK is that hyper-capitalism requires the tech. They have to invent
shit like the internet and highspeed communication lines so that capital can
move effortlessly across borders (unlike people), wrecking lives and ensuring 
profit. 

Those increased points of contact in ALL of our lives that we now share for 
COMMERCE can be repurposed for solidarity, creativity, and communication. 

We can talk to EVERYONE WE KNOW and compare notes on how the shit is GOING DOWN. We 
can find hope. We can spread our OWN metaphors of reality, a counter to the fucking 
EMPIRE that is enslaving brown peoples EVERYWHERE, raping the planet. All across the 
globe we are all fighting against the same rich US-based transnational corporations 
and the local tyrants they fund (Blair, Bush, Putin). 

If the US stopped existing tomorrow we'd still have the EMPIRE to fight (WTO, world 
bank, etc). They refuse democratic input. They pass laws making it illegal to examine
their own mechanisms of control in the name of protecting "intellectual property" (as 
if anyone can own an idea once it's been articulated). They implement economic policies 
that make us concentrate on SURVIVAL so we don't have time to think about liberty and 
community building. No time to pay attention to REAL HUMAN INTERACTIONS which help you 
to survive, exchange notes on survival, or just create new metaphors.

Please come celebrate the creation of new metaphors at my former residence. Bring 
your friends. There will be food, drink, music, freaks. Let my passing be a celebration 
of liberty, hope and creativity. God Bless.
