The Road to the Underground... and Beyond

Want to be a revolutionary? Anarchist? Try this: Walk straight out your door into the night air... Climb a hill or something up high. Look out into the darkness at the dark sky. Then let your eyes look down at the multitude of lights flashing, porch lights, street lights, offices, cars and airports. Close your eyes and you can still see it... Ripeness for picking.

Want to be a revolutionary? Anarchist? Try this: Walk straight out your door into the night air... Climb a hill or something up high. Look out into the darkness at the dark sky. Then let your eyes look down at the multitude of lights flashing, porch lights, street lights, offices, cars and airports. Close your eyes and you can still see it... Ripeness for picking. Picture the thousands of cities, millions of cars... the rows of shiny jet airplanes, ready and fueled. Safety and security purchased cheap, on the market, hired guards with guns. How many bullets or light bulbs does it take to run a global consumer system, how many burn out each day? Bulbs are dying and guns are selling faster than young bodies are rotting (45,000 dead each day, 17 million a year to starvation and war). Hunger and starvation become investments in the game of Globalization.net. How much do I get for 44,000 extinct species each year? Can you feel inside of yourself the things you can’t express... the hidden pain? The broken filmstrip plastic slaps noisily as the techno-police state-nightmare keeps pounding its counter-mantra: “Pull the plug. Stop me! Before I hurt everything, more...” If we took a bunch of starving kids and endangered animals, and we just burned them in a big bonfire, would it make you flinch? Or will we soon just stand there as the bar-code programming replaces our eyes—or at least our vision. This dark monster that shines before our eyes is like The Matrix—only worse—it’s organic and it ends in the death of everything. It’s more than a game and more than a movie when this curtain closes.

Scrap the way you have viewed the world. All the key symbols and cultural concepts we use to define the world—the way that we think—have been corrupted and manipulated to delude us into ignorance and self-destruction. If the system hasn’t stolen your soul yet, nor sucked out your determination, then come along with us. Embrace the Underground.

We don’t need to hide behind words like democracy, reform or progress. Purge these constructs and replace them with liberation, anarchy and love from our hearts. We must be brave and believe in a world of sharing free expression and love for all things. It will be a long road through the Underground.

Moderates always play the game of holding back and diluting the radicals’ “condemnation of materialism.” From Jesus to Buddha and Gandhi to Che Guevara, moderates beg for patience and then redefine the truth.

These are the “end times” of mass movement protests and even riots may no longer be effective. These are the “end times” of passivism, patience and moderation. The Underground’s bonfires of celebration will burn through the veil of the media’s smokescreen. Praxis not posturing.

**************Bring the war home. We chart a new course for a life worth living. ***************There will be no more USA, corporations, technology or material affluence. There will be mutual aid, cooperation, decentralization, self-sufficiency and the liberation of desires—self expression—true anarchy and wildness. This is not just a revolution about power! Culture, spirituality, thinking and technology must all change radically. We believe that our way—the quickening way— results in much less suffering. We reach now to pull the plug on energy systems and all the toys of the greedy boys. All those shiny airplanes will become roofing shingles... and the skyscrapers will be greenhouses. We’ve got a lot of reducing, reusing and recycling to do, a lot to learn and to unlearn. Break the rules, trespass fate. Tune in to your deepest feelings, the wind on a rooftop during a reckless night of adventure, the roar of an unexpected kiss, the magic of your favorite songs lifting you up. Fearless against the darkness that the government plans for us, we are strong in our own desires. We come with stones and slingshots, the strange and untamed weapons of our imagination. For a world of wonder where anything is possible...

Check out the last URL - the description they give of their organization is EXACTLY the same as Al-Qaeda's!

Something else that bothers me is that their nice, neat version of the world doesn't address what will happen to all the medicine or food that is grown because of technology! Are they willing to see most of the entire 3rd world die of starvation and disease because there's no longer any technology?!

These people ARE freeking nuts and SHOULD be considered terrorists, because they ARE!

Exactly!

Isn't it funny that they use the Internet to propagate their lunatic ideas?

Read "Rainbow Six" by Tom Clancy. It will sound familiar.

Sounds like one of those 1960's San Francisco Timothy Leery drug addict wackos! They are "victims of the capitalist system" ... LOL ... they are just lazy drugged out bums.

Print out the webpage, the FAX OR SEND IT TO YOUR CONGRESS CRITTER with a demand that they protect YOU from these monsters. Repeat EACH WEEK.

After that, bookmark their webpage, click on View, then View Source. Save to your disk, then print out. Save it for later, when they change their page to a "let's sing in the meadow" cover.

Wackos. Of course, they don't mind using computers and servers and webs and html and other such inventions that have sprung from the freedom they so viciously eviscerate.

They need to be watched closely. What they suggest is at least sedition.

We are at war, and these are the folks in the foxhole along side us. And they have no allegiance to this country. The people in the foxhole with us seek our defeat.

A letter to the white house with the URL attached should do the trick.

Nothing new here. The joke is that it's on a web page. I like to think that the author smiled in satisfaction at getting a tricky bit of HTML to work while composing that page.

The quickening? Isn't that an Art Bell-ism?

Actually, these people are not in the foxhole with us, because they are cowards - each and every one of them. Just like Osama Bin Laden and others of his ilk, they target not those who can fight back, but innocents. Arson, destruction of property, and spiking trees are some of the weapons they use, but never once do they ever do anything to anyone who is armed,ready, and willing to fight back. They hide in the shadows, like cockroaches... and they need to be stepped on...

All of these freaks need to be rounded up. Try them for conspiracy to commit treason. Then throw them in the slammer for the rest of their lives. End of story.

Isn't this similar to the anti-logging tree-sitters who live/protest in plywood treehouses?

"They sound like idiots"

So do most Constitution loving, God fearing Freepers to the mainstream of "Society!"

Of course... but if they didn't, they'd fall asleep roll out of the tree, and die like their komrade in regon recently...;0)

Nice of them to warn us now that we are viewing terrorists in a clearer light.
