<nettime> My Prague etcetera pipe dreams. |
http://process.indymedia.org/ offers some pointers for their media offensive but I call it a provocation that will do nothing to gain/earn the sympathies of the general populace. I offer some pointers that will remedy that. As I said at the preparatory meet in Holland (see the first item in this file): it is imperative to play law enforcement and police our own ranks and so exclude, contain, prevent and defuse each and every provocative can spray and even trash can overturn in order to sway public opinion about their support, otherwise it sides with the police (only doing their job after all) and they don't need (more than) a glimpse to know what is really happening besides all the cute puppets and people sitting down or something. Not until such containment succeeds will a batallion of media gadgets be of great or even any real use and even then it is only gonna straighten out the reactionary part of the story; which does nothing, zippo and nada for the construction of alternatives!!!!!! Sorry, but like I said about religious confrontations much earlier, it is not a matter of lifting the pentagon out of it's strategic entrenchment, let it sit and molder right where it is, what really matters and hurts 'm is the ability to feed itself, it is not the position of Jerusalem or any such holy dogshat place, it is the flow of things into it that need redirection and so do the idiots who like to go bust their heads upon some police force or other (thus justifying bigger investment in the very things the love to hate). . . . Yall write: Using the internet and other communications technologies we are able to reach a wide audience and break through the corporate media blockade. . . . sounds right and really macho, gets a lotta boys with a militant and heroic streak in'm hot and bothered but. . .wie niet sterk is moet slim zijn (those not strong have needs to and perforce must be smart!!!!) Lemme try restate this in the form the recent intro to my wide ranging big linklist in /Blabsabs_Index.htm: The sitemakers on these wide ranging (eclectic) lists oughta nevertheless make a fist . . . (at least temporarily and for starters at the strategically decisive moments of protest for which massively popular support can only be mustered when general populace can feel save and entertained. So in order to expose and show police up for the repressively souldead interest protectors they can turn into on protest occasions (and exclude their alas often justified property protective role) we first need to make them superfluous and look ridiculous in the eyes of the people, stop the reasons for funding them (and entire armies) with public monies, show how they are the strong arm needed to camouflage the insecurity of a bad and/or no conscience, iow ruthless savagery. There are no invisible hands (save an image nation, fast fingerjoints perhaps) Just make sure the feeding hand gives no occasion to be bitten. Easy enough if the peaceful majority keep total tabs and closed ranks around the unruly factions within them. Run the camera on this (think of funny ways to show that brawn, macho and muscle can be steered to have a common benefit, for instance with Rock grinding shows or if it can't be helped yet, invite some Nazi's or hoolies for a bare hand fight, allow news and sport channels to tune in for hefty sums flowing into the trusts of the partciparitiers, etc) prove once and for all police are just elite turf defenders and public opinion is ours.) . . . .with some sort of an if need be sliding scale endorsement affiliation scheme. To see something as an obstacle (nuclear reactors and all other secretive and harmfully centralized rot) is what counts (ways must be found to do that especially and) even when coming from different places. No matter! Nor where to and wither they all afterwards scatter (during the removal stage they do merit and must be counted together). --- http://members.tripod.com/poetpiet/ the punchline pioneer who picks out the hardest of tasks; cause . . ."it ain't so bad to be glacierlike, a volcano-type. . . paracletic dabbler with all these newspfangled plexciting and gruesomely grateful growsomusical autonomobilitates" Latest (sitemeter) appelation: Harmonies from histories collectintegrator.
