Activist Times Inc. Issue 262
AIN'T IT THE SHORTEST PRIME ANARCHIST
WEEKLY COLUMN YOU EVER DID SEE?
If you predict anything about Cuomo running for
Governor, it should be that he will do NOTHING
in this time that might harm his chances of a
credible run for POTUS (president of the US) A
S A P.
I predicted "cabinet to governor to potus" the
day he married a Kennedy.
Greetings! Get out of bed, wakeup. School's out,
but there's still stuff to do. Two extra hours of
sleep is all you get.
I'm prime anarchist and this is the zine of the
week. ATI, Activist Time to Invigorate.

LETTUCE. Yup, we get LETTUCE
to ati@etext.org
Please consider the following original poem
Life's Clock
Life's clock is wound but once
and no man hath the power
to know where the hands
will stop
at late or early hour.
To lose one's wealth is sad, indeed.
To lose one's health is more.
To lose one's soul is such a loss,
that no man can restore.
Today, only is our own.
So live, love and toil with a will.
Place no faith in tommorrow,
for the clock may soon be still.
Darlene Virginia Quarles
To Marco:
The three most powerful people in the USA now,
are named:
Bush, Dick and Colon.
--Cheshire Catalyst
Hey Prime,
In honor of the mayhem still ongoing from
sElection2000 I think the pen company in your
homestate. Was it Parker? They're the ones that
did UNTIED STATES SENATE during the impeachment
trials. They went out of business when they lost
the government subcontract, right?
Well they should be given restart incentive
cash to bid on pens that really WILL say UNTIED
STATES SENATE.

What is the sound of one hand clapping?
- Zen Koan
It defies all reason
one hand clapping
the sound of
a Nazi salute
(Hitler wasn't the only monster
to tarnish our history)
the sound of
hate
realizing our fate
a father losing his son
a melody done
a child huddled in fear
a mother screaming
in anguish,
her baby's face
blown off
there is no destruction of the enemy
only destruction of ourselves
the echo of a race
the sound of
once was
peeling skin color
religion
and differences
drifting away
out of body
what is left?
only one
the sound of
death
a person
alone
the sound of
terror
the sound of
injustice
greed and pride
it is silence
one hand clapping
defies all reason
the other,
a clenched fist
and closed heart
turning its back
on humanity.

Which party do *you* belong to?
A prose-poem
by
by Aaron Schlosser
[reprinted from Indymedia Dot Org because of
how many laughs it got, and especially its
high humor.]
It was not until I gave this particular post a subject that I was
eerily reminded of The Party in George Orwell's famous and spine-
tingling book, "1984". But I digress.
"I've just joined a wonderful new political party that has been
around for the past 150 or so years, but has remained almost entirely
unnoticed by the majority of the American people. I am utterly
astounded that this political party has been around for so long
and its agenda has been unknown.
The reason this party has been around for such a long time without
fading away is because it is backed by quite a few of the world's
most prominent activists, and has been for the past century-and-a-
half. The thing I find most peculiar, however, is that these prominent
people are very well-known, yet most American people have absolutely
no idea that they support my party. Without them, my party would never
be able to campaign in the ferocity that it does, nor would it be able
to survive.
The surprising thing about my party is that it has been a major
player in the American political scene for every presidency since
as far back as Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln. Since then, it
has had a key role in the development of the modern political system.
This astonishes me as few people even know that it exists.
I vote for my party every chance I get, because the other party is
bad.
I am a Democratic-Republican.
I am for and against the death penalty. I am for and against abortion.
I am an environmentalist that favours the destruction of the world's most
valuable ecological resources. I want to raise and lower taxes. I want to
spend more of less on the military. I am a strong advocate for gay rights
but I do not believe that gays should have rights. I fight against
corporations who use sweatshop labour and I wear Nike shoes. I like
Adidas pants. All my clothes are from Abercrombie & Fitch, those elitist,
corporate bastards. I am an anti-fascist that votes for my party every
chance I get. I am the member of a worker's union and I want to expand
trade to China.
I am a Democratic-Republican.
I know that the other party is bad because the leader of my party said
so. I don't need to make my own choices, my own decisions; I elect people
to make them for me. I have a moral obligation to act immorally.
I drive to work every day in my SUV that gets 16 miles to the gallon,
and I want people do something about global warming. More people should
use public transportation so that I can drive to work in less traffic.
I don't have time to think about things, I just vote for my party because
they care about me and have my best interests in mind. The other party
wants to destroy everything that I hold dear. Those bastards. They're
probably Communists, those Nazi bastards.
I don't bother to learn much about the government or politics, because
it makes me feel helpless. I just watch the news at night, even though
the news is heavily subjective in favour of the other party. Radicals
are really pesky and annoying. Idealists. Who needs them? God forbid
anyone should think of anything better. Things are as good as they
could possibly be.
Cynicism is bad. Only kooks and loons are cynics. I'm cynical of
cynics. I've got to be skeptical, because they're always playing dirty
tricks on me. They're out to get me, you know, those cynical, paranoid,
Communist, Nazis.
I feel secure. I'm a Democratic-Republican.
Those radicals are so unrealistic. Welcome to the real world, you idiot!
The real world is where I buy my Nike shoes and pretend they weren't made
by little Hun Lee, a fifteen year old Chinese girl that works twelve hours
a day. That is realistic, you silly extremist.
There's nothing I can do about it. It's unstoppable. I make it unstoppable."
The above writing is intended to be thought-provoking, although it may just
seem like babbling gibberish. Take a closer look at it. You might not need to
look very far.
This post is intended to be something to look at and think about. Have fun
with it.
A "WHAT IF" By Marc Frucht.
What If You Read "A Letter To Santa but
hadn't had a ton of prior programming, so
you had no idea what the heck all the
"ikonnery" and pictographs (yeah, those
too) meant.
Dear Bearded White Guy
I hope everybody at the GIANT CANDYCANE is well
and the SLED and the YAK is ready for christmas eve.
My WOMAN says that I am a good SMILY KID. If you have
CLOCKS to visit my SNOWMAN IN THE YARD I'd like a LITTLE
GIRL and my brother would like a RIDE. Our MISMATCHED SOCKS
will be hung by the FIREPLACE. Please bring THE WOMAN a new
IRON and my MAN would like a new red LAB COAT. In case you
are hungry when you come to my house I will put A PLAIN
DONUT and A HUGE CARTON OF MILK on the EDGE OF THE TABLE
READY TO FALL IF YOU TOUCH IT... Please give my best to
the BEARDED WHITE LADY and all the KEEBLER FACTORY helpers.
You can find my MODEL OF A HOUSE because we have a MELTING
LUMP OF SNOW on the front lawn.
Merry Christmas from a good child.
We end with a concept as a metaphor: Because
as always, poetry's "gonna carry us through."
As the movement grows, and as the status quo worsens,
the line between hackers and activists is erased.
