<nettime> criticism and forward request (fwd)




I was asked to forward this by Piet Rotsstof Bouter - Alan

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).
