CIRCA

August 14th - 21st 2007: Clowns at the camp for climate action near London’s Heathrow airport went on e-missions carbon catching. We used fishing rods baited with broccoli, lassoos, butterfly nets… Though we didn’t catch much carbon, we did catch the forcess of darkness out on several occasions: taking a bus to avoid capture by panting policemen, escaping a police kettle (encirclement) by ducking through a hedge, breaking out of circles of riot police, being a singing Clown toilet for trapped demonstrators… Overall, Clowns contributed to the success of the camp and supported our comrades in charms see http://www.indymedia.org.uk/ for reports.

I know, let’s all have a party in Scotland on October 1st! Maybe we can play with the idea of a ‘mock-on’, like a lock-on but more Clown… Ye take the high road and I’ll be in Scotland afor ye! See Faslane 365 website

Whew, we had a busy spring here in the borderlands of lAztlaugh: trying to join the Minutemen, real alien invasions and a traveling circus to boot! It’s high time for ice cream and gummy bears, but we’re still busy sweating in the summer to get lots of clowns to the No Borders Camp in November! We’ll post more about that later…

In the mean time, you should get a good laugh from these silly bits:

we started as four we ended as 25, the magic of the Mobile Emergency Recruitment Vehicle-
nobody really wants to fight wars and clowns are no different, we stole a tactic from the US armed forces, pull people in, slap a nose on them and don’t really inform them what they are going to be doing, and you know what???? it works!!!

too many wars for us clowns to fight here in the brain of the monster….after Operation P.O.O.P.

we have had several visits from the overseas battallions, Glasgow Kiss, and the Spotty bum brigade, it has given us courage here to feel the love of clowns from over the world.

Our field of operations at the moment????
Operation Direct Deposit-we have done a study on how to better recruit young people into the millitary and are hoping for a private consulting contract-

The Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army Free States Detachment is proud to announce…
The First North American Big Shoe Camp
Boulder, Colorado February 9-11 2007

Are YOU tired of humdrum protests and bored of capitalism?
Do YOU enjoy working in a team and ridiculing authority?
Do YOU long for extremely absurd adventures?

The Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army is looking for fools and rebels, radicals and rascals, tricksters and traitors, mutineers and malcontents to join its ranks.
You could be part of a fighting force armed with ruthless love and fully trained in the ancient art of clowning and non-violent direct action. You could learn ingeniously stupid tactics that baffle the powerful. You could uncover your inner clown and discover the subversive freedom of fooling.
You don’t need to like clowns or soldiers, you just need to love life and laughter as much as rebellion. If you think you’ve got what it takes then follow your nose & join CIRCA!

TRAINING TO BE RUBBISH
Like all armies, people who wish to join the ranks of CIRCA have to undergo training. Before going into battle with CIRCA, recruits take part in intensive “bigshoe camps” lasting approximately three days for the Basic Rebel Clown Training (BRCT). At the end of the BRCT you will be capable of taking on any CIRCA mission. Becoming a clownbattant can be challenging, but it’s a rewarding life.
There are five phases of BRCT:

* Finding the Inner Clown
* Subversive Play
* Civil Disobedience and Direct Action
* Bouffon Manoeuvres
* Marching and Drilling

Details: All participants must be able to commit to the full training. Basic sleeping accommodation is available.
Cost: A Sliding scale donation to a fund that will cover travel and expenses for clown trainers and trainees.

it is getting colder here in chicago and I am worried about the empire. It thinks it is warm with its natural gas heating, but I saw it traipsing about the world and it is naked, naked and cold! As the secretariate of the ICRN (International Committee of the Red Nose) We are taking up the cause of the naked empire. As it gets colder and colder your local representatives have volunteered to collect clothing for the cold empire, they are especially looking for underpants, as the private parts of the empire seem to be particularly vulnerable to the illusion that they are clothed.

Well I am no speaker of German, but here’s a bunch of pics and an article from the Clown Army in Germany
