Cypher (305) DEAR ATI, On that Desert Fox Angola thing. Are you suggesting hundred(s) were killed in "Fox" and then the plane went down in Angola with the bodies? Or did it go down on purpose with the bodies to cover up? Or did Muldar really see his sister? Sorry, confused on the Fox issue. What are you saying???!!!! DON (617) to ati@etext.org Gen.

Jeff (785) Hi, Look again, at your message[following]. Sure, quote me, if you like. And add, if it suits you, that as a CIS professional, I recommend that people set their computers to display in 12, or 14 point fonts, to reduce eyestrain, and to help 50year old eyes like mine to read it at all . Don't take this as permenant permission to quote me, I frequently respond to newsletters with personal anecdotes, and the last thing I want to do, is to read them in distribution . I do try to remember to preface messages with all caps warnings, when I'm sensitive about how they're to be used. Stay Stronger, Ken.

Reviewer. Special to ATI for Book of the Week Club. "THE SHADOW UNIVERSITY: The Betrayal Of Liberty On America's Campuses," by Alan Charles Kors and Harvey A. Silvergate. This was the most boring book I've ever read I think. The topic was so compelling I tried to stick with it from beginning to end, but I must confess. I put it down many times. To be nice I shall say it was dry reading. It was a brilliant collaboration between two New Jersey men who met at Princeton in the 60's and they set out to tackle such issues as the famous "Water Buffalo" case, and assaults on student speech and also faculty speech. I couldn't wait to read it, but then I was quite let down by their writing style. I think you should try to read it anyhow. It's a very important book. But good luck getting past the writing style. SAN CRISTOBAL DE LAS CASAS, Mexico (Reuters) -- Mexico has resumed expelling foreigners from the embattled state of Chiapas, and in doing so has reignited a human rights debate. The government has made it clear that it considers many foreigners meddlesome activists, while human rights groups insist that Mexico is targeting those seeking to be peaceful observers. The U.S. non-governmental organisation Global Exchange said on Wednesday one of its members was expelled on Monday from the southern state, the battleground of a five-year standoff between authorities and Zapatistas. Two other U.S. citizens were "invited" to leave the country while an Italian and a Japanese tourist were "interrogated" about their activities in Chiapas, Global Exchange representative Ernesto Ledesma told Reuters. # PRESS RELEASE: A benefit concert for the Sovereign Dineh Nation is taking place at the House of BLues in LA 17Jan Doors open: 8pm, music: 9. Tickets are $25. Big names on the bill include Indigenous and John Trudell. Rumour has it that Stevie Wonder may show up. The event is part of the annual MLK/HofB Foundation awards. [ed note: I confirmed all this through the people at NAMMYS (native american music awards) and also that Burning Sky will be playing.=) Black Mesa Indigenous Support (BMIS) will be bringing a van, rented by SOL Communications and 6-8 Dineh to LA for one week. During that week the elders will participate in press conferences, radio shows, concert and ceremony. They may travel on to SF to attend the Many Beads court. As you know the Many Beads case has been going on for years. I sincerely hope that BMIS finds the tools they need to get the elders through the winter. They go up on the mountain each weekend, cutting wood, herding sheep, being a taxi or whatever they are asked. Please support this group. # is 520 773-8086.

THIS FROM THE "DO NOT PUB" BOX: Not a week goes by here at ATI we don't have 2 or 3 stories kikkin 'round we choose to sit on. Oh, myriad reasons from "still checking accuracy," to "don't wanna get killed," with just about everything one could imagine in between. Rest assured, no one's ever called askin' the Times to kill a story in our 11-year history on the net or even before that on pape. (sic.) We'd laugh if they did, to be honest. Our endeavors have been successful thus far with a news-to-ad ratio of 1:0 for all these years. We're surely not wealthy, but solvent. So guess what? Mostly we just couldn't care less. That's a pretty good feeling, actually. Not to brag, but most other groups of newsies have had to play that balance like an antique Stradavarius tuned up to concert 440. So today, there's one story from that box that we suddenly felt better of this morning or so, so here goes: It's an official PAP prediction. Larry Flynt will "out" Phil Gramm this week sometime; then Ted Kennedy will try to have Flynt shot. OK. Take it easy. Keep your head down. I must go now, and put a pop-bottle on my doorknob. Me voy.

Rehnquist Says He Can Already Taste Clinton Trial --------------- by Lori Associa Special corres. --------------- Washington - Chief Justice William P. Rehnquist criticized Kenneth Storr on Thursday for being perhaps too lenient on the "ex-president-elect." "Only four articles??" Rehnquist rhetoricized in his annual year-end report on Democrat- bashing and its attempt to get declared an Olympic sport by 2008. "I think you were a little easy on the Beev, Wally," the Justice said amid uproarious laughs, heaves and guffaws. During his top-secret one-hour tour of the Senate chamber and its anti-rooms Thursday, he allowed this author to get a quick interview in under tight security. "I've been just licking my chops," he told me, "ever since Desert Fox began." He offered me a cigar from the pocket of his half off jacket, then apologized for not asking if smoking was OK. He explained he was very tired from 57,691 cases in one year and that he just wanted to relax with a pretty young girl on her way up over a nice fresh "Cuban seed Cuban." He said he'd love to share one with me, popping Viagra like a fiend. I told him I'd gotten all I needed, that I wasn't offended and that if he didn't mind I was going to kick him really hard somewhere and then take my leave. The already half-naked old law-subvert reached down to cover where he thought I might attack leaving himself completely open to the idea of my sticking his smelly old Cuban contraband where he'll never find it without corrective surgery.

Despite all the new acquisitions, the analyst said, the month-old mega-corporation will keep its current name, Smurf-Stoned. On the pallet for 1999, according to sources, is the purchase of cardboard boxes, heavy brown paper, hundred dollar bills, and balance sheets of anyone else who wants to "just roll over and die." Smurf-Stoned is also considering working with International Scraper and Union Cramp to market the idea of wrapping dead people in brown paper instead of the more expensive and eco-unfriendly caskets. worldnewz can always be reached at: http://www.thepentagon.com/primeanarchist IT STARTED WITH A SWEAR: An Exercise In Hostility. by Monique Nixon Special To Prime Anarchist World News (PAWN) - Seymour, WI. Oh, and two Furby dolls. Since there were plenty of Furby's left at Walkmart, Toes 'R Us, and Wilworth-Wilco I bought two at my local retailer. Set me back a mere 30 bucks. From then 'til yesterday (Jan 1) I'd had them in seperate rooms digesting much TV. One got its learning entirely from non-stop NBC. The other was glued to MTV 24-7. As I suspected there was a generation gap of sorts from the very beginning. I faced them toward each other in a walk-in closet with a voice- activated microcassett recorder nearby. I planned to change a 90-minute tape on slow speed every 4 or 5 hours. Neither said a word to each other for twenty whole minutes, so I altered the experiment, deciding to get things rolling saying the word, "shit." I guess the NBC-fed doll had never heard the word because she, he or it started in with "what the hell did you just say? Because I don't understand you, and it sounded like crap." How he'd learned Wolf Blitzer's voice perfectly in both tone and syntax I'll never know. Well the MTV Furby must not be used to the word "crap" because s/h/it broke in with "Oh my God. That was, like rad, I mean no way, man take a picture of my butt. Does she go down on you in a theatre? Scratch your fingernails down my back, oh nice ass, let's eat at Hooters." I swear s/he sounded just like Jesse, the enviro-retarded heroin-addict wannabe VJ. I didn't hear NBC's retort but when I returned to change cassettes one of the dolls was on top of the other doing something horribly obscene saying "calls are just 35 dollars a minute, order now, operators are standing by," while the other was just laying there saying, "it's freezing in here, I don't think you love me anymore... is there a room I can darken? I need to perform an autopsy." --------------- http://www.solcommunications.com/mauro/video.html And now, Mauro's message: --------------- I have a 28:30 second "underground" cable show called "The Battle of Big Mountain". I had given Klandiken some copies and ISCO in Oregon. This is not the documentary that we have been working on, but it does contain footage that no doubt is in that piece. Anyway many people have asked me about the cable show. I will send a copy to any BIg Mountain group that wants it. Since I will be paying for the copies and mailing I just ask that only groups or people that intend on educating with it reply. Also, any group working with the nuclear issues please contact me as well. We made a similar piece during Corbin Harney's event at the Mercury gate last spring and it came out great. Both pieces have great interviews, The Battle of Big Mountain with John Benally, Roberta Blackgoat, Marsha Monestersky, Norman Benally and others. There is also a music video called Amerika that I made as well. For the record, no exempt monies were used in these productions.
