free states
November 30th, 2006 by ltlattehow is the usa different from the uk? how is clowning going to work here?
this clog is going to be about the emergence of circa free states
just after I arrived back I was drinking copious cups of coffee with a pal that I had met in megawatt valley, talking about being back in the belly of the beast-
he shared with me the following idea that Zapatistas do not consider their allies in the United States to be living so much in the “belly of the beast” as in the “brain of the monster” (el cerebro del monstro). In other words, the US is the place where neoliberal policies aimed at subverting global democracy are hatched and executed in communities around the world—including right here in the United States.
so, with the support of the brilliance of the clowns that I have worked with across the ocean, I start again here
so far, well, a training in boulder colorado after the beginning of the year, and an international communique “operation infinite mucus” is underway as we struggle to find the story that will connect our joint stuggle against the pathologcial system-

How did the camp go?
Would have mortgaged my big floppy boots to enlist!

the first north american big shoe camp was a stunning success, the boredom patrol, raspberry berets and the emergent boulder gaggle were all present, coordinating efforts for the western hemisphere are underway, peach season is soon to be upon us and a creative resistance camp in chicago is in the works-
also the boredom patrol is going to be hosting about six hundred clowns for a no borders camp in november something to look forward to!
