dearest special assignment organisms,
This friday [ 8.8.03] S.W.A.T. - the Movie - premieres at the Metreon...
And frankly, any culture jammer* worth her/ his salt will not let this
one pass without a massive epileptic seizure of dada , mayhem, and
hysterics ... like the very Furies are up one 's sleeve and dancing in
your pants leg.
So we are calling You (and all your brother and sister Orgs) to the task !
Provided below are a few suggestions and some backround incentives to get
you off your ass and ready to react in a revelatory commando-stylee raid
on the pickled brainchildren of the Hollywood-centric underworlds...
First off , for those of you in the Bay Area we ask you to join us for
this ominous premiere screening presented at our very own anti-cultural
mecca - the Metreon ( even the name is like some Keenu Reeves commercial
for some wonderbread godstar deoderant ). @ 101 Fourth Street • San
Francisco, CA 94103
for the 8:15pm screening of S.W.A.T.
meet around 7:15pm either in line or out back
in the Yerba Buena gardens area
( depending on the crowd ).
Come dressed in Guantanamo Orange ** ( w/ a canvas or paper bag to put
over your head ) ... and a placard naming your 'favorite' 4th Reich
propaganda artist... or perhaps you'd like to inform or remind the
public about one of the many DISAPPEARED immigrants *** who was rounded up
and detained by realworld Homeland Security 'Swatters'
or ... ???
... perhaps you have your own ideas entirely.
Revel in your own dream c- jammies !
Some of us may actually pay to see the damn thing, others may choose to
hold their noses and wander the Code Orange Bardo ... the Metreon mall of
the dead... and perhaps make a stab at reclaiming public space or even
attempt to awaken one of the puzzled-looking pickled consumers.

[8.5.03] Once Again, A Los Angeles Jury Fails To Convict In Video Taped
Police Brutality
Defense Attorney John Barnett can add another notch in his breifcase. For
the second time in his career, he succeeded in deflecting accountability
for a police officer that was caught on tape obviously brutalizing an
African American. The first time was when he successfully got a state
court aquittal for Theodore Bresino, who was clearly seen stomping on
Rodney King during the savage beating.
This time he achieved an aquittal for officer Bijan Darvish for filing a
false police report about the assault on the then 16 year old Donovan
Jackson.
