Yeah like Julie says, it stinks...this is just the start of a society
picking on its own citizens for the sake of power over the world.

Re: Cartoonization and pregnant autopoetic error-valuation


I remember when H.B did that talk at the next 5 minites in the Netherlands
(some of it was held i Rotterdam I seem to remember) and many of the cyber
crowd, mentioning no names moaned allowed during his talk. Actually I think
it was 96. I sneaked into the conference, Heath had naughtliy forged me a
pass so I could be part of the event. In fact a lot of the time loads of
people thought I was Heath because my pass was the same as his and he was
not that well known then. And I was inventing dodgy things about him, plus
Hakim kept getting us mixed up due to the double labeling situation. Got to
stay in a nice Hotel for free and spent the next day (just H.B) and I
chatting, walking around Amsterdam. Then we visited this plush, clean
library which was vast and it had social many movements from all over the
world i it, anarchist/feminist/diggers and much more.

Poetic terror(ism), I notice is not discussed so readily these days...
