OFFICIAL STATEMENT ISSUED BY:
by Randall M. Packer
Secretary, US Department of Art & Technology

We Declare War on War

"Weapons that change consciousness can call the war game into 
question." - William Burroughs

As artists, WE can act in a time of great consequence. WE have a duty 
to protect millions from a terrible and deep anxiety resulting from 
self-created and deadly dangers that are growing beyond our control.

The only valid experimental approach is one based on the 
uncompromising critique of existing conditions and their conscious 
intervention.

Today, the gravest danger we face, the gravest danger facing America 
and the world, is the existential darkness that has possessed our 
government, that grips its soul.

We must introduce everywhere a revolutionary alternative to the 
ruling culture; we must orchestrate - through art, criticism and 
propaganda, illusion as a revolutionary weapon.

We must advance experimental behavior, hyper-political propaganda, 
and the construction of new environments.

In a whirlwind of madness and horror, terror and peril, hail and 
fire, our faith is sure, our resolve is firm, and our artistic union 
is strong.

May the artist guide us now through 10,000 Acts of Artistic Mediation 
across the nation and around the world.

Sending artists into battle is the most profound decision a Secretary 
can make. The technologies of art have changed; the risks and 
suffering of art have not.

Today I have a message for the men and women who will fight for 
peace, members of the nation's and world's artists: Many of you are 
assembling in your studios and lofts, and crucial hours lay ahead. In 
those hours, the success of our cause will depend on you. Your 
training has prepared you. Your aesthetics will guide you. You 
believe in a model of society where free and experimental modes of 
conduct will prevail, and yes, we will prevail.

=46or according to Andr=E9 Br=E9ton, "perhaps the imagination is on the 
verge of recovering its rights."

The US Department of Art & Technology
http://www.usdept-arttech.net

The US Department of Art and Technology is the United States 
principal conduit for facilitating the artist's need to extend 
aesthetic inquiry into the broader culture where ideas become real 
action. It also serves the psychological and spiritual well-being of 
all Americans by supporting cultural efforts that provide immunity 
from the extension of new media technologies into the social sphere.

The Experimental Party
http://www.experimentalparty.org

The Experimental Party - the "party of experimentation" -  is an 
artist-based political party that has been formed to activate 
citizens across the country in an effort to bring the artists' 
message to center stage of the political process. This is a political 
awakening, 'representation through virtualization' is the major 
political thrust of the Experimental Party, it is the driving force.

Danser [avec la même passion et violence] pour ne pas faire la guerre (André
Breton cité par le peintre Matta avant sa mort et par le philosophe
Jean-Paul Dollé.

        Au moment où le fonds Breton va être disséminé à la Salle des Ventes
Drouot, à Paris, on actualise que l'art pour révolution c'est danser avec la
même passion et la même violence pour ne pas faire la guerre.

Imaginée dans sa passion et sa violence depuis l'hôpital psychiatrique de
Saint Dizier, où André Breton faisait son stage d'interne dans
l'environnement des victimes de la première grande guerre, la révolution
surréaliste nous interpelle encore aujourd'hui, localement à travers l'art
radical de la communication modulaire sur le web, comme internationalement à
travers les millions de personnes qui se sont mises en marche, selon
l'émergence d'un concept d'universalisme des droits des citoyens et des
peuples à disposer d'eux-mêmes ; autonomie (contre la défaillance des
institutions sous l¹influence abusive de la puissance américaine), pour
pacte symbolique unitaire spontané, à travers les images de la communication
qui soudain retrouvent leur statut de masses médias, miroir de la
protestation des masses diffuses et une fois n¹est pas coutume, et serait-ce
à défaut de pouvoir fournir les images de la guerre se déployant sur place.

    Il ne peut y avoir d¹hostilité globale contre les Etats-Unis, sinon
contre les structures centrales de l¹Etat américain et les lobbies et sectes
qui les dirigent, les manipulent et donc agissent tant au centre qu¹à la
périphérie, quand :
    ‹ mille personnes sont arrêtées à San Francisco et les manifestants
enchaînés violentés par la police, au moment même où la Maison blanche se
transforme en bunker interdit de circulation publique urbaine, ce qui ne
s¹était jamais produit auparavant aux Etats-Unis et au titre de tel modèle
Jacques Derrida, il y a encore quelques semaines dans le cadre de la
conférence de l¹Institut des Hautes Etudes en Psychanalyse organisée par
René Major au sujet de la guerre, confirmait la persistance de la démocratie
américaine (l¹avis de Jean Baudrillard n¹était pas le même) ce qui, de
toutes façons  est désormais prescrit ;
    quand de plus :
    ‹  le président de la CIA, même pas un militaire du Pentagone, répond
aux journalistes à la place du président pantin des Etats-Unis qu¹il
assiste, la nuit officielle du début de la guerre ;
    et quand enfin :
    ‹ toutes les mesures d¹écoute privées et publiques, de surveillance de
l¹hypermedia, de délation, de compromission des négociations dûment
monnayées près les diplomates de l¹ONU et les dirigeants des Etats, pour
faire basculer leur position, faute d¹avoir pu les convaincre politiquement
: tout ce qui aurait encore fait scandale, il y a moins de dix ans ne
serait-ce que dans la presse américaine elle-même :
révèlent soudain contre quoi désormais le peuple américain conscient et
actif va devoir lui-même se battre de façon autonome ‹ et dans le risque ‹
en pleine régression de leurs libertés citoyennes annoncée depuis le 11
septembre...

Il y avait, il y a les Refuzniks se qualifiant eux-mêmes ³l¹honneur de
Tsahal² (l¹armée) en Israel, à propos desquels Leila Shahid souligna (au
dernier meeting de "trop c'est trop"), qu¹ils représenteraient la seule
chance locale que les Palestiniens puissent encore coexister avec les
Israéliens, serait-ce dans le cadre de deux états autonomes voisins.

Maintenant, à côté des Refuzniks qui seront de plus en plus menacés chez
eux, bien que que l¹objection de conscience relève des droits des soldats
des armées démocratiques ou républicaines s¹agissant de l¹armée du peuple,
quand l¹ONU vient de prouver en quoi elle ne pourrait plus assurer de
secourir solidairement quiconque quand aux des droits de l¹homme, nous
voyons le supplément de milliers de civils américains, de l¹Est à l¹Ouest et
du Nord au Sud, qui vont devoir fonder leur mouvement de résistance ou
perdre à jamais leurs droits dans leur propre pays. (Cependant nous, qui
serions pourtant dans une meilleure condition internationale, nous voyons
soudain inquiétés nos citoyens de plusieurs générations ascendantes
d¹émigration,sur notre propre sol en plein réaménagement administratif de
leur situation). Comment ne pas leur être solidaires, du moins en pensées et
dans les écrits, quand nous voyons ici, en dépit des apparences passagères
du fait des circonstances, comme nous aurons aussi fort à faire pour
défendre nos facultés les plus vives?

Un nouveau fascisme sans doute possible aujourd¹hui se révèle à travers
l¹Etat américain et ancré dans les organisations supranationales. Il
relèverait d¹une progression de la puissance des sectes et des lobbies dans
les sociétés néo-libérales de l¹argent et se serait donc construit dans
notre dos, après la chute du mur de Berlin ‹ néanmoins d¹après des scénarios
publiés dès les années 70, puis de nouveau à proos du Gatt puis de la
première guerre du Golfe, mais que personne ne voulut crédibiliser.

Ce pouvoir de foi et d¹argent prétendrait par exemple gérer de façon
sélective les peuples et  l¹aménagement des ressources mondiales : matériel,
biologique, écologique, humain. Pour ce faire: arraisonner les rapports de
force critiques. Pendant ce temps, nous tenions notre petit train alternatif
au sein des communautarismes en quête de leurs droits : en fait, ils
participent en tout point du même principe de lobbying, point fractal dans
la grande image, y compris l¹ ethnocentrisme. Ainsi voyons nous quelques
unes de nos meilleures idées renversées en leur contraire, comme l'utopie
réalisée, et une fois de plus...

Autant à travers les réactions sécuritaires, qui dans ce cas pourraient
répondre à la culpabilité née du réfoulé au sein du pouvoir démocratique,
quand il accomplit sa propre disparition, car dans la terreur qu¹il
s¹inflige d¹accompagner de tels changements dans le monde dit libre, son
refoulé suppose dualement le fantasme de répliques innommables (alors qu¹en
ceci il configure d¹abord sa propre monstruosité)... nous retrouvons cette
nouvelle structure dans les Etats qui composent les localités à l¹image de
d'un tel système mondial dévoilé par tout le développement des prémisses et
de l'éclatement de la guerre totale en Irak pour commencer le réaménagement
du territoire mondial le plus étendu, géographiquement et politiquement.

Ce nouveau fascisme à double visage entre par toutes les portes, y compris
les plus dérobées dans tous le monde occidental, et plus particulièrement au
sein des pays de l¹OTAN notamment européens qui en avaient perdu l'habitude:
des plus anciens à ceux qui après en être sortis y sont revenus (la France),
jusqu¹aux plus récemment accourus, après l¹effondrement de l¹URSS.

L¹organisation Européenne elle-même en serait un office : nous voyons se
reproduire les passages à l¹acte d¹influence contre la démocratie par la
structure américaine à l¹ONU, ici étrangement parmi les alliés  à Bruxelles
(ne serait-ce qu¹a travers les écoutes privées et publiques, systématiques
et immédiatement opérationnelles, on nous laisse imaginer la dimension de la
partie immergée dans les autres domaines). Du moins l¹Europe
n¹émargerait-elle pas aux services secrets à la botte de tels pouvoirs
d¹Etat, les imiterait-elle étrangement dans leurs attributions étatiques?

Maintenant, les peuples du monde paraissent s'être levés ³à propos² de
l¹Irak, devant la pratique et l¹attiitude d¹un pouvoir impérial
difficilement identifiable, irrespectueux de leurs propres droits
symboliques dans l'assemblée sensée les représenter ;  nous voyons les
exclus manifester en Argentine contre la guerre, tandis que les survivants
³friqués² de la crise laboratoire, causée sous la gouverne des Banque
mondiale et FMI, vit dans ses quartiers urbains derrière des barbelés, quand
on apprend que la Patagonie pourrait être achetée moyennant la résorption de
la dette par l¹Etat américain...

Qu¹avons nous fait pour les Argentins, n¹est-ce pas, puisque cela touchait
les petits épargnants, pas les Argentins les plus pauvres?

Que penserions-nous aujourd¹hui de tout cela sinon, à l'instar d'une
réactualisation de la sensibilité politique de Frantz Fanon, tirant les
leçons de l¹Algérie où il fut médecin pour l¹armée française, que ³les
nouveaux damnés de la terre² seraient peut-être en train de se lever une
fois nouvelle, non pour réclamer de la nourriture et ³crèveraient²-ils de
faim, mais pour défendre l'idée même de la survie conceptuelle de la liberté
‹ serait-elle défaillante chez eux, du moins elle devrait donc subsister au
monde ? 

Et ils crient partout le refus du pouvoir mondial, et leur révolte contre
les organisations unies sur la question des droits après la seconde guerre
mondiale, qui devaient représenter universellement leur ³part maudite²,
alors qu¹elles se vendent dans le scandale absolu de la disparition de la
démocratie jusqu¹au territoire qui l¹avait fondée de façon représentative.

Et ils désignent que des répressions épouvantables dans le monde sont
annoncées ‹ ou des révolutions supra-nationales.

Il ne s¹agit pas d¹une opinion mais d¹un constat que nous ne devrions pas
négliger de faire : les marcheurs, inclus ce qu¹il reste de paysans sur
toutes les chaussées urbaines du monde, du plus dépourvu au plus pourvu,
manifestent le triomphe de l¹universalisme pour ultime confiance
anthropologique des  peuples parvenus au terme des modernités.

Or cette façon autonome, loin des partis s'agirait-il de Starhawk ou même
des "Multitudes", est un concept qu¹aucune organisation politique, ni même
d¹extrême gauche et pas davantage d¹extrême droite, afficherait-elle parfois
la confusion des signes résiduels des nationalismes au sein d¹une masse qui
ne les supporte plus, ne peut prétendre représenter ou avoir structuré,
penserait-elle légitimement y avoir concouru pour sa propre part.

Depuis l¹émergence de cette singularité d'autonomie pour événement, et son
consensus universaliste spontané, il paraîtrait peut-être fécond de refonder
la critique stratégique et l'importance des micro-localités, que ce soit
face aux répressions ou aux réformes annoncées ?

Subject: Allah be Chillin' - An Argument for War...

That Christopher Hitchens, the author of the classic "The Trials of 
Henry Kessinger" could so blithely gloss over the Reagan Admin (and 
the start of the Bush Admin's engagement with Hussein and lay the 
blame at Carters feet is pretty amazing. I wonder who is paying him, 
or if he's had way too much drink (definitely, he's out of his mind 
on this one...). To start the article and omit the whole Iran-Contra 
angle that the Republicans set up is absurd, and an indication of how 
far people have lost hold of history. Anyone with a decent stereo who 
would like a real view on this scenario should check out "The Fire 
This Time" - http://www.firethistime.org/ audio documents on the 
first Persian Gulf war, and simply think of Saddam Hussein as a 
puppet in a system made of puppets, and look at Iraq and Afghanistan 
as failed client states in the proxy wars of Soviet and American 
hypocrisy.  Can anyone say "hyper-accelerated Rome"? Of course 
Hitchens also fails to mention that the current Bush Admin has 
consistently failed to mention how much the war will cost, and with 
the cozy tax cutsand reconstruction contracts he's handing out to his 
friends (not to mention the oil contracts for the region - all tied 
to the U.S. currency instead of the Euro...) this is business as 
usual...

I'm really stunned that Hitchens is being such a moron, but these 
days, very little surprises... weapons of mass deception have made 
this war look like the "Keystone Kops" meet "1984" - either of which 
was a better movie than the current charade of "freedom fries" and 
people pouring perfectly good chardonnay into the Hudson or Potomac 
rivers... if anybody doesn't want their french wine, send it to me!!!

(Un)Intended Consequences
What's the future if we don't act?
By Christopher Hitchens
Posted Monday, March 17, 2003, at 10:25 AM PT

There has been a certain eeriness to the whole Iraq debate, from the 
moment of its current inception after Sept. 11, 2001, right through 
the phony period of protracted legalism that has just drawn to a 
close. It was never really agreed, between the ostensibly contending 
parties, what the argument was "about." (Nor had it been in the 
preceding case of Kuwait in 1991: You may remember Secretary of State 
James Baker on that occasion exclaiming that the justification could 
be summarized in the one word "jobs.") Nobody has yet proposed that 
this is a job-creating war-though it may turn out to be-nor has 
anyone argued that it will be a job-losing one (though it might turn 
out to be that, too). The president bears his share of responsibility 
for this, for having made first one case and then another. So do the 
"anti-war" types, for picking up and discarding a series of straw 
arguments.

Conspicuous among the latter, and very popular recently, is the 
assertion that proponents of regime change have been TOO consistent. 
On every hand, I hear it darkly pointed out that several 
neoconservative theorists have wanted to get rid of Saddam Hussein 
for a very long time. Even before Sept. 11! Even before the invasion 
of Kuwait! It's easy to look up the official papers and public essays 
in which Paul Wolfowitz, for example, has stressed the menace of 
Saddam Hussein since as far back as 1978. He has never deviated from 
this conviction. What could possibly be more sinister?

The consistency with which a view is held is of course no guarantee 
of that view's integrity. But it seems odd to blame Wolfowitz for 
having in effect been right all along. Nor, by his repeated 
hospitality and generosity to gangsters from Abu Nidal to Islamic 
Jihad and al-Qaida (in the latter instance most obviously after Sept. 
11, 2001), has Saddam Hussein done much to prove him wrong. So, the 
removal of this multifarious menace to his own population, to his 
neighbors, and to targets further afield would certainly be an 
"intended consequence" of a policy long-meditated at least on some 
peoples' part.

What of the "unintended" consequences? By some bizarre convention, 
only those who favor action to resolve this long-running conflict are 
expected to foresee, or to take responsibility for, the future. But 
there's no evading the responsibility here, on either side. (I 
wouldn't want, for example, the responsibility of having argued for 
prolonging the life of a fascist regime.) But who can be expected to 
predict the future? The impossibility doesn't stop people from 
trying. Jimmy Carter, in 1991, wrote a public letter to Arab heads of 
state urging them to oppose the forcible eviction of Saddam Hussein 
from Kuwait. An American-led counterattack would, he instructed them, 
lead at once to massive rioting and disorder across the Islamic 
world. It would cause untold numbers of casualties. And it would lead 
to an increase in terrorism. Carter said all this again recently in a 
much-noticed op-ed piece. He could even be right this time, but not 
for any reason or reasoning that he's been able to demonstrate.

As an experiment, let's take a Carter policy. As president, he 
encouraged Saddam Hussein to invade Iran in 1979 and assured him that 
the Khomeini regime would crumble swiftly. The long resulting war 
took at least a million and a half lives, setting what is perhaps a 
record for Baptist-based foreign policy and severely testing Carter's 
proclaimed view that war is a last resort. However, of these awful 
casualties, an enormous number were fervent Iranian "revolutionary 
guards," who were flung into battle as human waves. Not only did this 
rob Shiite fundamentalism of its most devoted volunteers, but it left 
Iran with a birth deficit. The ayatollahs then announced a policy of 
replenishment, financing Iranian mothers with special inducements and 
privileges if they would have large families. The resulting baby-boom 
generation is now entering its 20s and has, to all outward intents 
and purposes, rejected the idea of clerical rule. The "Iranian 
street" is, if anything, rather pro-American. How's that for an 
unintended or unforeseen consequence?

Or take another thought-experiment, this time from one of Carter's 
lugubrious warnings. There are many smart people who have come to 
believe that the first bombing of the World Trade Center, in 1993, 
was in fact a terrorist revenge for Kuwait on Saddam Hussein's part. 
Ramzi Yusef, generally if boringly described as the "mastermind" of 
that and related plots-and the nephew of the recently apprehended 
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed of al-Qaida-may have been an Iraqi agent 
operating with a Kuwaiti identity forged for him during Saddam's 
occupation of that country. One cannot be sure. But suppose that this 
was a terrorist counterstroke of the sort that is now so widely 
predicted to be in our future rather than our past. Would it have 
been better to have let Saddam Hussein keep Kuwait and continue work 
on what was (then) his nuclear capacity? That seems to be the 
insinuation of those who now argue that a proactive policy only makes 
our enemies more cross.

If consequences and consistency are to count in this argument, then 
they must count both ways. One cannot know the future, but one can 
make a reasoned judgment about the evident danger and instability of 
the status quo. Odd that the left should think that the status quo, 
in this area of all areas, is so worthy of preservation.
Christopher Hitchens is a columnist for Vanity Fair. His latest book 
is Why Orwell Matters.

Subject: NYC CALL TO ACTION AGAINST CORPORATE MEDIA HQS
Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2003 20:29:38 -0500

*** ACTION AGAINST CORPORATE NEWS NETWORK ***

WHAT:  Rally against the corporate media, who blindly follow Bush into
Infinite War.

WHEN:  11am - 1pm, Saturday, March 22nd, 2003.

WHERE:  CNN Corporate Offices, 5 Penn Plaza, 8th Ave. and 33-34th st., NYC.
As the US military machine swings into full gear, launching an
unprecedented, unilateral, pre-emptive strike that violates international
law and will result in thousands of civilian deaths, the corporate media
brings us computer-game graphics, animated maps, and long-distance grainy
shots of orbs of light in the night sky over Baghdad.

'Embedded' reporters eat, sleep, and travel with army units, reporting only
what they are shown by the military, their reports censored by military
censors. Reporters who file 'troublesome' reports recalled from their
'privileged' position. Those who venture out on their own have been told
they can expect no protection from US attacks.

Meanwhile, at home, the corporate media have already begun to denounce
continued massive antiwar activity as 'treasonous.' Clearchannel, the
largest radio conglomerate, has even begun to organize its own prowar
demonstrations...

The antiwar movement cannot ignore the centrality of the corporate media to
the war machine any longer. We must target the corporate media for their
consistent role in promoting the war in Iraq as well as their central role
in manufacturing public consent for massacres in Afghanistan, Palestine, and
elsewhere. 

We refuse their sanitized treatment of the war. We will gather to demand
that they act as watchdogs, not lapdogs, of the state and the
military-industrial complex...

[NOTE:  This message is technically off-topic but as all members of this 
list are members of the Pacifica Radio community, and as Pacifica is 
dedicated to peace, it should be of interest to every member of this 
list]

Here is something very simple, personal and brave that each and every
person reading this message can do right now to oppose the deadly war
that has been launched against the people of Iraq:  Leaflet your
friends, neighbors, and the patrons of businesses in your area to
mobilize them to act against the war.

To that end, a set of flyers has been collected for demonstrations being 
held this weekend in major cities around the U.S., with full
instructions for downloading and printing them, onto a single Web
page.  This material can be found at:

http://sharingtheair.home.mindspring.com/leafletting.html

Materials are supplied for demonstrations in Los Angeles, San 
Francisco, New York, Washington, D.C. and Houston.  That is, every city 
in which Pacifica has a station.  THESE DEMONSTRATIONS ARE ALL OCCURRING 
TOMORROW, SATURDAY, MARCH 22nd so please drop everything if you can and 
get these flyers out!  If you receive this too late to leaflet today 
(Friday night) then Saturday morning will still provide plenty of time 
to get people to these demonstrations.

Also included is a fact sheet from International Answer answering the
myths and lies that the Bush Administration has been spreading to
justify its murderous and unprovoked attack upon innocents.

IF YOU DO THIS, IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
