The kinds you'll find out there among all the organized credible ranters. Yes, I still think they're all dorks, or at least ALMOST the whole lot of 'em. But I chose this for the potential reprintability and wider distro it might cause. Please don't call me a sell-out unless you want my next column to be a rant about you in its entirety. Nah, that's a pretty idle threat. You can call me that all you want. I know where I am in this world, do you? :) , prime "Freeh wrote President Clinton on Tuesday that commuting the life sentences of Peltier would "signal disrespect" for law enforcement and the public." That was a grave miscalculation on Phed director Louis Phreeh's part. Bill Clinton likes to smoke an occasional joint and he clearly doesn't have a whole lot of respect himself for these institutions Phreeh hides inside. Another big mistake on the Police State's part was to put Henry Hyde in charge of the misinfo/disinfo war on the side of the FBI good ol' boys network. Clinton now has two big reasons to release Peltier. He knows Peltier was railroaded, which I'll call the: Let My People Go Scenario. and: He remembers what Hyde's people spent almost six years fixated upon in trying to dig up impeachable charges, while driving around with "IMPEACH CLINTON" bumper-stickers even before he was inaugurated. I'll call that the: Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Scenario. My fix on this: Clinton releases Peltier the day after Bush or Gore is clearly on his way to his inauguration.

Roy Bourgeois and SOA Watch Staff. From an open letter dated: 6dec00 Upcoming January Vigil and Civil Disobedience Action in Ft. Benning On January 17th, 2001 the SOA is scheduled to re-open it's doors under a different name. The Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation is still the same old School of Assassins and we will work even harder to shut it down. Rebecca Johnson is organizing a dawn to dusk vigil at the gate of Fort Benning for the entire month of January. A creative nonviolent civil disobedience action is being planned for the final days of January to coincide with the re-opening of the school. All are invited to join in for the entire month or any part of it. Limited housing will be available in Columbus. If you'd like more information about this, please contact Rebecca at (508) 289-7813 or rebecca.johnson@oberlin.edu.

Sorry, there's just no way I'm ever going to call him "sir." "If you're buying then I might." Music + TV = Marketing. "Oh my god, you bought me a cellphone for christmas...You're awesome...You're like Carson Daly meets Shephard Smith... I can't believe you did that...These people want to put an FBI agent in the pageant." Sorry people, music to me has nothing to do with someone's need or desire to stretch a billion into a billion five. Video killed more than the radio star people. It morphed into the face feed from hell. They took Star Wars' cantina-scene and made it into something to sell something. It's just that simple. Rapid fire images don't HAVE to abuse you, you know. They don't have to hurt. They don't have to take something you'll not only never need, but may be harmful for you, and leave you feeling so funky, so brother huckster funky that you'll buy spandex or fake satin clothing, or new eye color when you haven't run out of your old eye color yet. Or perhaps a pet rock for everyone's Christmas present when you didn't even ask first if, well, er, uh, gee Wally. Do you, d'ya think...s/he'll really WANT a pet rock? To quote Marvin Gaye, "what's goin' on?" Are you even aware? Or are you walking up and down aisles stuffing stuff into your shopping cart having no good reason why? Just what DOES happen when you're trapped inside the Hotel California? Can you get out? Adbusters can't help you, a shrink can't help you, not even your local cult deprogrammer's gonna get you out of there. And I've got news for you. Even ATI can't get you out. You gotta wanna get out so bad you find a way to shake your head, let the cobwebs fall to the floor and say "How did I get here? That's not my beautiful house, Britney and Mandy Moore aren't my beautiful wives, the Backstreet Boys are NOT my connection to God. Especially when each of their hits are written by 9 middle aged white men. Got to be there. Like Nickelodeon on helium. Baby, give me one more chance. They were just five cute kids who could sing and dance a little and they're pumping out hits. _____________ Fill in artist or band name here. Who's next? "How much will it cost?"

Our biggest local computer store must have all their employees on commissions. The homeless shelter I run had bought a gateway from them about a month ago and I went in with $50 US for color and black & white epson printer cartridges. They'd talked a co-worker of mine into an epson rather than a new HP telling her the prices on ink we'll pay is "way cheaper." Well as it turns out the savings is about 5$ a cartridge on a 30$ purchase. I'd call that "a little cheaper," rather than "way cheaper," wouldn't you? Oh well. I whip out 50 thinking it's going to be 30 or 40 all tolled; and he tells me it comes to 53 and change. What? OK, which of the two are more expensive, I ask, he tells me, a 1-dollar difference. I think out loud, "Then, I probably should just get the black and white today, and come back another time for the color." "Wait," he tells me, cash register key-clicking up a storm. "Do you have 63 cents?" I fish in my pocket but don't find anything. "OK," he says, and works it all up telling me, "with tax it comes to 50 dollars even." Good for us, bad for the retail world. Probably neither good NOR bad for the NASDAQ, and a tiny blip of an up tic for the National Product, huh? I like that he managed the situation so well, as it benefits us and he's just a clerk and not a manager or store owner, but the part of me that runs a shelter and thinks overtime about ethics, and stuff like non-violence drove all the way home bugging out about how that probably hurt someone else to help us. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- SUNDAY NITE - Christmas Special. Christina Aguilera Is she jerking off the microphone, playing a trumpet or what? What's with the tapping of the mic rapid fire to the beat of the music, or even twice the beat of the music??? Is she on speed? Heroin? And how come you don't hear her tapping but you SEE her tapping. Hmmm. I also think she makes Kate Moss look plump. And I'd give anything to have her soundman working for ME. I mean, how does he do it??? She moves that mic all in and out of her face and he's right on top of it making it sound like she never moved the mic at all. Perfect smooth sound all the time. Even while she's dancing and rubbing the mic on her leg. Makes it sound like she never moved the mic at all! Magic. And to use that whole other sound system, or a different setting each time a song ends so her speaking voice is so so very differently mixed than her singing voice. Good thinking. That sound man's really on the ball. I think I should write and publish an in-depth contrast and comparison of Aguilera and Yanni. Her Christmas special just now, against his PBS special, where was that, Greece? Yeah, at the parthenon or some such. I think he was using the same sound man for his piano. Turkey maybe. [A][T][I] A T I Like 2600 Dot COM Is [A][T][I] [A][T][I]Hacker News, Not Cracker News ! ! ! [A][T][I] We end this 'zine with a poem we've reprinted from the IMC where we first saw it. I left Georgia with a strong feeling that I failed. Being there for me was not enough I realized that before I even got to the base. It was as if God was calling me to be his hand's and feet. The funeral procession was an amazing experience for me hearing the name and ages of many especially those who were children tore apart my heart. I was humbled when a girl offered me her cross before she crossed the line. Many do not understand the meaning of this line that so many crossed. Well I wrote this poem and hopefully it will help the many who still don't understand it: THE LINE by Katie A line white in color with an insignificant size. Holds my faith, my soul, my fate. But why this line? There are millions all over the world who have been persecuted, tortured, and killed. This ordinary white line, stands for all those who have experienced the rath of an unjust world. What an extraordinary line. Not as insignificant when looked at, from the eyes of the innocent it's claimed. As Martin Sheen spoke so fervently about "Here I am Lord is it I Lord, I have heard you calling in the night. I will go Lord if you lead me. I will hold your people in my heart." Next year I will cross the line with the cross the girl gave me when she saw my torn heart in my eyes. /4 a free subscription?/ /send/ SUBSCRIBE ATI /to/ listserv@franklins.net Send everything you got to: ati@etext.org or click on the homepage at: http://www.thepentagon.com/primeanarchist One way to look at it is: 'down went Lenin, up went Lennon.' http://www.angelfire.com/wi/kokopeli/cygnus.html for back issues and to order t-shirts, hats and FruchtWitch Cookies.
