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 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.

Au moment o� le fonds Breton va �tre diss�min� � la Salle des Ventes
Drouot, � Paris, on actualise que l'art pour r�volution c'est danser avec la
m�me passion et la m�me violence pour ne pas faire la guerre.
Imagin�e dans sa passion et sa violence depuis l'h�pital psychiatrique de
Saint Dizier, o� Andr� Breton faisait son stage d'interne dans
l'environnement des victimes de la premi�re grande guerre, la r�volution
surr�aliste nous interpelle encore aujourd'hui, localement � travers l'art
radical de la communication modulaire sur le web, comme internationalement �
travers les millions de personnes qui se sont mises en marche, selon
l'�mergence d'un concept d'universalisme des droits des citoyens et des
peuples � disposer d'eux-m�mes ; autonomie (contre la d�faillance des
institutions sous l�influence abusive de la puissance am�ricaine), pour
pacte symbolique unitaire spontan�, � travers les images de la communication
qui soudain retrouvent leur statut de masses m�dias, miroir de la
protestation des masses diffuses et une fois n�est pas coutume, et serait-ce
� d�faut de pouvoir fournir les images de la guerre se d�ployant sur place.
Il ne peut y avoir d�hostilit� globale contre les Etats-Unis, sinon
contre les structures centrales de l�Etat am�ricain et les lobbies et sectes
qui les dirigent, les manipulent et donc agissent tant au centre qu�� la
p�riph�rie, quand :
� mille personnes sont arr�t�es � San Francisco et les manifestants
encha�n�s violent�s par la police, au moment m�me o� la Maison blanche se
transforme en bunker interdit de circulation publique urbaine, ce qui ne
s��tait jamais produit auparavant aux Etats-Unis et au titre de tel mod�le
Jacques Derrida, il y a encore quelques semaines dans le cadre de la
conf�rence de l�Institut des Hautes Etudes en Psychanalyse organis�e par
Ren� Major au sujet de la guerre, confirmait la persistance de la d�mocratie
am�ricaine (l�avis de Jean Baudrillard n��tait pas le m�me) ce qui, de
toutes fa�ons est d�sormais prescrit ;
quand de plus :
� le pr�sident de la CIA, m�me pas un militaire du Pentagone, r�pond
aux journalistes � la place du pr�sident pantin des Etats-Unis qu�il
assiste, la nuit officielle du d�but de la guerre ;
et quand enfin :
� toutes les mesures d��coute priv�es et publiques, de surveillance de
l�hypermedia, de d�lation, de compromission des n�gociations d�ment
monnay�es pr�s les diplomates de l�ONU et les dirigeants des Etats, pour
faire basculer leur position, faute d�avoir 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 am�ricaine elle-m�me :
r�v�lent soudain contre quoi d�sormais le peuple am�ricain conscient et
actif va devoir lui-m�me se battre de fa�on autonome � et dans le risque �
en pleine r�gression de leurs libert�s citoyennes annonc�e depuis le 11
septembre...
Il y avait, il y a les Refuzniks se qualifiant eux-m�mes �l�honneur de
Tsahal� (l�arm�e) en Israel, � propos desquels Leila Shahid souligna (au
dernier meeting de "trop c'est trop"), qu�ils repr�senteraient la seule
chance locale que les Palestiniens puissent encore coexister avec les
Isra�liens, serait-ce dans le cadre de deux �tats autonomes voisins.
Maintenant, � c�t� des Refuzniks qui seront de plus en plus menac�s chez
eux, bien que que l�objection de conscience rel�ve des droits des soldats
des arm�es d�mocratiques ou r�publicaines s�agissant de l�arm�e du peuple,
quand l�ONU vient de prouver en quoi elle ne pourrait plus assurer de
secourir solidairement quiconque quand aux des droits de l�homme, nous
voyons le suppl�ment de milliers de civils am�ricains, de l�Est � l�Ouest et
du Nord au Sud, qui vont devoir fonder leur mouvement de r�sistance ou
perdre � jamais leurs droits dans leur propre pays. (Cependant nous, qui
serions pourtant dans une meilleure condition internationale, nous voyons
soudain inqui�t�s nos citoyens de plusieurs g�n�rations ascendantes
d��migration,sur notre propre sol en plein r�am�nagement administratif de
leur situation). Comment ne pas leur �tre solidaires, du moins en pens�es et
dans les �crits, quand nous voyons ici, en d�pit des apparences passag�res
du fait des circonstances, comme nous aurons aussi fort � faire pour
d�fendre nos facult�s les plus vives?
Un nouveau fascisme sans doute possible aujourd�hui se r�v�le � travers
l�Etat am�ricain et ancr� dans les organisations supranationales. Il
rel�verait d�une progression de la puissance des sectes et des lobbies dans
les soci�t�s n�o-lib�rales de l�argent et se serait donc construit dans
notre dos, apr�s la chute du mur de Berlin � n�anmoins d�apr�s des sc�narios
publi�s d�s les ann�es 70, puis de nouveau � proos du Gatt puis de la
premi�re guerre du Golfe, mais que personne ne voulut cr�dibiliser.
Ce pouvoir de foi et d�argent pr�tendrait par exemple g�rer de fa�on
s�lective les peuples et l�am�nagement des ressources mondiales : mat�riel,
biologique, �cologique, humain. Pour ce faire: arraisonner les rapports de
force critiques. Pendant ce temps, nous tenions notre petit train alternatif
au sein des communautarismes en qu�te de leurs droits : en fait, ils
participent en tout point du m�me principe de lobbying, point fractal dans
la grande image, y compris l� ethnocentrisme. Ainsi voyons nous quelques
unes de nos meilleures id�es renvers�es en leur contraire, comme l'utopie
r�alis�e, et une fois de plus...
Autant � travers les r�actions s�curitaires, qui dans ce cas pourraient
r�pondre � la culpabilit� n�e du r�foul� au sein du pouvoir d�mocratique,
quand il accomplit sa propre disparition, car dans la terreur qu�il
s�inflige d�accompagner de tels changements dans le monde dit libre, son
refoul� suppose dualement le fantasme de r�pliques innommables (alors qu�en
ceci il configure d�abord sa propre monstruosit�)... nous retrouvons cette
nouvelle structure dans les Etats qui composent les localit�s � l�image de
d'un tel syst�me mondial d�voil� par tout le d�veloppement des pr�misses et
de l'�clatement de la guerre totale en Irak pour commencer le r�am�nagement
du territoire mondial le plus �tendu, g�ographiquement et politiquement.
Ce nouveau fascisme � double visage entre par toutes les portes, y compris
les plus d�rob�es dans tous le monde occidental, et plus particuli�rement au
sein des pays de l�OTAN notamment europ�ens qui en avaient perdu l'habitude:
des plus anciens � ceux qui apr�s en �tre sortis y sont revenus (la France),
jusqu�aux plus r�cemment accourus, apr�s l�effondrement de l�URSS.
L�organisation Europ�enne elle-m�me en serait un office : nous voyons se
reproduire les passages � l�acte d�influence contre la d�mocratie par la
structure am�ricaine � l�ONU, ici �trangement parmi les alli�s � Bruxelles
(ne serait-ce qu�a travers les �coutes priv�es et publiques, syst�matiques
et imm�diatement op�rationnelles, on nous laisse imaginer la dimension de la
partie immerg�e dans les autres domaines). Du moins l�Europe
n��margerait-elle pas aux services secrets � la botte de tels pouvoirs
d�Etat, les imiterait-elle �trangement dans leurs attributions �tatiques?
Maintenant, les peuples du monde paraissent s'�tre lev�s �� propos� de
l�Irak, devant la pratique et l�attiitude d�un pouvoir imp�rial
difficilement identifiable, irrespectueux de leurs propres droits
symboliques dans l'assembl�e sens�e les repr�senter ; nous voyons les
exclus manifester en Argentine contre la guerre, tandis que les survivants
�friqu�s� de la crise laboratoire, caus�e sous la gouverne des Banque
mondiale et FMI, vit dans ses quartiers urbains derri�re des barbel�s, quand
on apprend que la Patagonie pourrait �tre achet�e moyennant la r�sorption de
la dette par l�Etat am�ricain...
Qu�avons nous fait pour les Argentins, n�est-ce pas, puisque cela touchait
les petits �pargnants, pas les Argentins les plus pauvres?
Que penserions-nous aujourd�hui de tout cela sinon, � l'instar d'une
r�actualisation de la sensibilit� politique de Frantz Fanon, tirant les
le�ons de l�Alg�rie o� il fut m�decin pour l�arm�e fran�aise, que �les
nouveaux damn�s de la terre� seraient peut-�tre en train de se lever une
fois nouvelle, non pour r�clamer de la nourriture et �cr�veraient�-ils de
faim, mais pour d�fendre l'id�e m�me de la survie conceptuelle de la libert�
� serait-elle d�faillante chez eux, du moins elle devrait donc subsister au
monde ?
Et ils crient partout le refus du pouvoir mondial, et leur r�volte contre
les organisations unies sur la question des droits apr�s la seconde guerre
mondiale, qui devaient repr�senter universellement leur �part maudite�,
alors qu�elles se vendent dans le scandale absolu de la disparition de la
d�mocratie jusqu�au territoire qui l�avait fond�e de fa�on repr�sentative.
Et ils d�signent que des r�pressions �pouvantables dans le monde sont
annonc�es � ou des r�volutions supra-nationales.
Il ne s�agit pas d�une opinion mais d�un constat que nous ne devrions pas
n�gliger de faire : les marcheurs, inclus ce qu�il reste de paysans sur
toutes les chauss�es urbaines du monde, du plus d�pourvu au plus pourvu,
manifestent le triomphe de l�universalisme pour ultime confiance
anthropologique des peuples parvenus au terme des modernit�s.
Or cette fa�on autonome, loin des partis s'agirait-il de Starhawk ou m�me
des "Multitudes", est un concept qu�aucune organisation politique, ni m�me
d�extr�me gauche et pas davantage d�extr�me droite, afficherait-elle parfois
la confusion des signes r�siduels des nationalismes au sein d�une masse qui
ne les supporte plus, ne peut pr�tendre repr�senter ou avoir structur�,
penserait-elle l�gitimement y avoir concouru pour sa propre part.
Depuis l��mergence de cette singularit� d'autonomie pour �v�nement, et son
consensus universaliste spontan�, il para�trait peut-�tre f�cond de refonder
la critique strat�gique et l'importance des micro-localit�s, que ce soit
face aux r�pressions ou aux r�formes annonc�es ?

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...

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.
