It'y been along time since I've put out an issue of

of the people remain unconcerned and ignorant about the.

them and their families’ futures.

If not for the gratitude of arvery small nunber of

DAY AT THE BEACH A

It's mid-August. EL Nino has treated the Midwest
wonderfully. The rest of the world may be parched or
drowned, but this area has experienced gloriously
moderate temperatures since last fall, with regular
rains. The corn and soy bean crops are very lush and
hearty. This bodes poorly for the farmers, because a
boutiful crop drops prices. After all, the speculators
thive on scarcity to blackmail the agents of the
hungry into paying more. Much of it will rot in silos
rather than be given to the starving masses around the
globe. Capitalism looks solely to Profit - not to f
people!

I'm at Lake Manteno, waiting for my family. This
is our swimming hole. It's a throwback in time. A
ratt, a beachhouse, children making sand castles, young
lifeguards and folding chairs: Large trees shade the
area and people play volleyball. It's not crowded and
the water is pretty clean. Boats tow kids on
innertubes. Seagulls, ducks and the occasional turtle,
mix among the humans and eat the discarded chips.

The sun’s been coming up blood red everyday
lately. It's probably just pollution, but it has an
ominous feel to it.

This is the first year where the one-after-another
0.5. flags along the main streets for Memorial Day,
seemed sinister to me. It felt like Nuremberg, 1936.

Last night I went to a “children’s parade.” It
was thoroughly controlled by the police. They treat
the citizens with such indifferent arrogance. It's as
if FEMA is already in control. The people accept - no
rejoice - in their total loss of freedom of action.
Most would like to see the jailings accelerated, have
the sitcoms include more nothing, etc. It's as if they
want human thought to be reduced to a pre - big bang
size, so fearful of change. They are so afraid of
losing their “freedom” that they’ve already willingly
forfeited it, without a whimper. America asleep.

I went to go meet Micheal Novick of L.A.
ARA./People Against Racist Terroc/Turning the Tide -
the anti-racist resource and education zine. He also
wrote the book, White Lies, White Power. He and his

NAZI FILTH CLEANUP ¢

On June 20th, the second Soulh Chicago ARA meeling was held
al the Blue lsland Library. Six new members joined in on ihe.
discussions, representing @ wide ronge of communities. People from
Chicago, Alsip and Willow Spiings joined earlier members from Blue
sland, Oak Lawn and Monee.

We lalked about our plans which include having a fiterature fable
and allemative slage al he Bive Island Feslival in The Park, fo be
held July 111h and 121h. We aiso falked about parlicipaling in the
ARA four fo be held o fhe United Center on July 161h, Plans for
benefit concer o be held in Homewood al Off Ihe Alley in ecrly
August were discussed. We also lalked aboul working on fhis
newsletler. Our next meeling was defermined fo be scheduled for
August 15t at the Blue lsland Library from 3 p.m. unlil 4:45 p.m.

Information packels were handed oul, ideas losses around,
recent events such s lhe march and rally to advocate for public
housing. and 1o prolest cily govemment heavy-handedness as lo
the Cabrini demolitions and forced relocalions, in which ARA
members parficipaled, were recounted. The important ongoing
8lack Radical Congress was discussed. Also lhe ARA convention to
be held in Columbus in Oclober was broughl up. Some of us will go
there and parlicipale, and even conduct a workshop.

New members discussed fhe problems racisls are causing in their
communilies. 1 is the same ignorant broken record. Racist bules
are preying on young people of color and those who associate wilh
them. These nazi wannabes ihvealen and allack people who fhey
‘can manage lo isolale and oulnumber. They plague all
communilies in which lhey subsisl, and recruil alienaled individuals
wilh promises of acceplance, only 1o leach them infolerance and
thuggery. which is Iheir only offering. There is nolhing posilive hese.
creeps ever offer. They're human cockioaches. who degrade our
towns and menace our sireels.

‘After ihis meeling, several of us went on a clean-up, Nozi
scrawlings and garbage had been sirewn about a parly spof of
huge concrete chunks, localed off a path in ihe woods by Ihe Cal-
Sag Channel. in Blue Island. This is @ polluled industrial site, where

the Chicago Gas Lamp Manlle Company used 1o operale from. Il is
located on ther north side of Ihe Channel. wesi of Ann St. at
approximalely 132nd slreet. Brainless nazi and hale-filed graffitl
was painted over. Allhe garbage was cleaned up. We decided lo
pul positive, ife-affirming messages in heir place. We wrole fhings
ke "ARA." “EQUALITY.” and symbols such as Ihe peace symbol, fhe
symbol representing women (and ife) and an “E” wilh a circle
around it, symbolzing respec for he environment. -The almosphere
has been lolaly ransiormed from on offensive, threatening,
ignorant and wasted area to an enlightened, positive spol offering
hope and respect for human fife. Dignity or vileness?¢ You choose.

White sefflers moved in in he 1840's and 1850's. The Ojibwe fiibes
were compelled lo sign reafies in 1826, 1837 and 1842, which
relinquished confrol of fhe fimber, minerol and land, including the
soil beneath Lac du Flambeau.

The Indians received a meager pittance in refum. In 1850,
President Zachary Taylor issued an Execulive Order fo force the
Indians fo collect Iheir freaty annuilies in Sandy Lake in Minnesola
and relocale fo Mole Lake Reservation, only. In the spring of 1851,
many Wisconsin Ojibwe people died duiing this forced eviction. It
became known as the “Sandy Lake Death March.” The Indians were
shorichanged and given rolten food. Disease was rampant. Six
hundred and thirly men , women and children died because of Ihis,

Chief Buffalo, who was ninety years old af Ihis fime and hree
ofhers, irekked fo Washington 1o plead for the honoring of the
freafies, supposedy “Ihe Supreme Law of the Lond" - according lo
the Us. Consfilufion.

Millrd Filmore wos persuaded fo rescind the ilegal Execufive
Ordler and shorll thereafler, Ihe Ireaty of 1854 was signed. In this
realy, fhe Indiions refused fo cede fhe copper-ich south shore of
Lake Superior without a guarantee that they would be allowed o
live in Wisconsin. Reservations were sef aside in Lac du Flombeau,
Bad River, Red Clilf, Mole Lake and Lac Courte Oreilles.

More selllers came. Old growlh forest was shipped by lodggers,
and the Ojibwe were forced fo abandon their seasonal migrations.

Railroads, missionaries and fourisls came. Lake levels were made
higher with the construction of logging dams. Minerals, fish, game
and lrees were exploited, mercilessly. Much of fhe confrol of
eservalion land was removewd from the Indians by means of
‘allolment.” “Measures for allotment had been included in most
Indian frealies a5 a way 1o compensale people of mixed-blood and
encourage assimilation info while culture. In Norlhern Wisconsin, it
was hoped that the new owners would sell he fimber of their londs
fo logging companies and use fhe money fo take up faming.” 1

In 1886, Senator Henry Davis of Massachusetls, submitied the
General Alloment Act (or Davis Act) This "made fofal assimilafion of
Indians info mainstream American culture the poicy of the United
States. Allolment of land fo individual fribal members would be The

educalion for Indian children, the establishment of Indian police
forces, the encouragement of Chiistian missionizing and the.
extension of American cilizenship 1o Indians who could prove their
‘compelency.”2 The idea was 10 get he Indians fo cut down the.
trees for the logging companies and fum into Christian formers.

The Davis Acl was amended 1o allow the leasing of reservation
fand to logging comparies fo expecite the removal of lumber.

In 1895, 1he Indian Service openedifs boarding school in Lac du
Flombeau. “Children ot the school endured separation from heir
fomilies, rigorous discipline and ifimidation. Those who survived the
regimen were belfer educated - in ferms of white cullure - than any
previous generafion of Ojibwes.” 3

In 1901, property faxes were begun. To pay these foxes,
reservation lond wos sold fo whie fourists. "Choice waterfront
acreage was the first land sold. Most of if passed info the hands of
the resort and summer home owners'who established the fourist
industry of Lac du Flambeau.” 4

In the 30's, the Davis Act was repealed and fhe Indians were
given theillusion of “self-govemment." Tribal Councils were elected
with their own constifutions, based not upon Indian inferpretations,
but rather, sticlly modeled affer the U, model. George Brown Sr,
became fhe firstTribal Chairman of Lac du Flambeav.-Although,
‘wilhout jurisdiction of the londs and walers of the reservations, they
had nolhing 10 self-govem with.

“Lasling nearly 50 years, the allolment period has definitely
reshaped Lac du Flombeau. What might have been a remnant
enclave of the Norfhwoods eco-system. became another parcel of
‘worked-over cul over ground, ifs old-growlh forest mowed, s
marshes and rice beds llooded. ifs loke levels raised and maintained
by man-made doms. What might have been an isolated island of
Indian fife became a checkerboard community whose residents —
both whife and Indian — perched on the economic edge and
whose livelihood depended on fourist dollars — just ke the rest of
Norther Wisconsin.” 5

At the Indian boarding school, children aged 5 through the feens,
‘were *forbidden 1o speak Ojiowe, wear fraditional clothes or
maintain native cusloms.” 6 Many parens were reluctant fo send
their children here. The Superintendent who was also o military

officer, occasionally enforced attendance af gunpoint. 1

And whatis going'on foday. o so-called "while" schools? School
boards and other local authorilies are screaming fo clothe children
exclusively info sex-oled uniforms, install armed police in the
haliways and classrooms - even in he grade schoolsl Some want fo
eliminate recess os "counter-productive lo learning," force only
English 10 be spoken and wrilten and generally coerce sludens fo
be regimented info o homogenized someness, as they're force-fed
McDonoald-sponsored lies! b

“Alter World Wor I, the Bureau of indian Affairs encouraged the .
exodus of the Indians off the reservations, info urban areas such as
Milwaukee and Chicago, again, fo “improve” their lot by the
drowning of their cullure info the dominant (white) culture. Small
Indian communities redeveloped in the cifies, and in fact, one of the
‘most important Indian activisls in Chicago (or anywhere) in the 60's
and 70's was Michael Chosa, native fo Lac du Flambeau.

The poverly of Ihe reservation was lerrible. Indians lived i for
poper shacks with plastic sheefing for windows fo withstond the
brutal Northwoods winters, siripped of their cullural heritage and
knowlegde of how their forebears survived, using elaborate teepees
of wood, bark, skins and sap. In the sixfies, Lyndon Johnson's "War
on Poverly" came fo Lac du Flombeau and built an ugly sking of
ccheap, indenfical duplexes, which many Flambeau Indians sfill must
ive in. Asin Southeast Asio, where racist genocide was a daily
American staple, the U.S. govemment lost this “war” miserably, as
‘wel. The sfll dreadful, but very visible housirig gave the whites an
object fo concoct racist perceptions of the Hambeau Indians os
being lazy, dependent and shiffless. Without understanding either
the rudiments of how racism works or any frue knowledge of the
Indians predicament, history or their dealings with the state, whites
grew increasingly resentful, bigotted and fearful of Indians. This was
50, especially since Lac du lambeau had developed a repulation
for mililantcy due to the courageous exploits of Chosa and others.
Al one stage, | believe they took over a Nike Missile base site in
either Chicago or Joliet, fo dramalize their demonds. Lac du
Flombeau was definitely a spearhead in the resurgence of Indian
‘awareness and empowerment. The Indian haling racists, olways
singled out Flambeau Indions for parficular vitriol.

Racism and Treaty Rights in Lac du Flambeau, Wi

Lac du Flambeau is an Indian reservalion which resls in the hear
of the Wisconsin Norhwoods. This is a wondrous land of birchwood
forests and the larges! concenlration of freshwaler fishing lokes in
Ihe world. It is also a land of bilter poverly, amongst moslly offluent,
while vacationers. Flombeau was ot fhe epicenter of a decades-
long siruggle of the Chippewa Indians to exercise Iheir long-
standing spearfishing realy fights. This fhey did - among a vast sea
of naked racist infimidation ond sweeping ignorance.

Loc du Flombeau means “Lake of fhe Torches.” For centuies,
Chippewa fishers would fish he lakes, at night. in birchbark canoes
with forches. 1o spof the walleye. whose eyes shine in reflection fo
fight, and spear them for food.

These canoes were ideal, as they were lighiweight, durable.
‘walerproof and flexible. The Chippewa made exlensive use of
birchbark, fashioning snowshoes, foboggans, wiing tablets and
boskes with it. Along with hunfing game, such as deer, rabbit, even
bear for food, clothing and housing. they also gathered blue, straw,
choke, ras ond cran - beries. They planfed what vegelables would
grow i the sandy soll. such as corn. polaloes and squash. They
horvested maple sugar and wild fice 10 found out Iheir diet. They
lived in a migratory fashion throughout Norlhem and Central
Wisconsin, Upper Michigan, Minnesota and parls of Southem
Canada.

As the Europeans invaded his areo, things changed. The French
demanded furs. including beaver, muskrat, ofler, mink, deer, bear
and marten. In exchange, the Indians were forced o accept rum,
whiskey and wine. As the French gol more demonding and as the
pells began to dwindle, the pressure on the Indians was increased
Ihrough coersion, violence and alcohol.

After fighling many wars against the French and Bilish, the
Ojibwe people were forced fo migrale fo Northem and Centrol
Wisconsin. Their fraifional life, based on seasonal movements -
maple sugor in fhe spring, com gardens and berry beds in the
summer, ihe rice marshesin the fall and deerin the winter - was
being squeezed.

Dear Anthony,

we live In & “soclety” designed specificaliy for the stupid. As such,
stupidity is rewarded and intelligence is punished. And since stupid
people can't be reasoned with, they're always going 10 think
stupidity is a good thing, even though its a fact that STUPID PEOPLE
RUIN LIVESIE

But anyway, about SCI PRI NET subscriptions, all you have 10 do is

Dear Anthony Brazil

I will ry fo relate to you what is going on in Brazil in
a few lines, with my inadequate english.

Like all Lafin American countries, Brazil is living in a
depression fime. The public sphere is being shrunk.
The irrationality of the capitalist economy is being
maximized. Our energy, our communication systems,
our colleges, - everything - is being sold 1o private
hands. The government is selling the public
companies (that don't work for profif) for much less
than their real value, and paying the international
banks with this money.

If there is a government! You can see an enfire
couniry being sold to imperialists, because it's not the
people who decide about their lives, but rather it's
the government.

The unemployment never had got the actual
numbers since | was bom. (I'm 24.) 1am an
unemployed anarcho-punk rocker / chemical
engineer. | came from a middle-class family whom |
still depend economically upon. In third world
countries, the state doesn't pay or give anything o
the unemployed, like what used to happen in some
European countries.

My father didn't finish the college. but got a good
job. Even though I have finished the college, | have

no prospects o gel the economic level and <)
economic security, he got.

My generation is falling in an economic hole, built
by my father's generation. It is an economic
depression. The poverly is really growing.

Brazil doesn't have a revolutionary tradition. The
people are very passive, just walch T.V., date, play
soccer... It is really sad seeing so much (2) rebellion in
Lalin American countries in the past, and nowadays,
the Brazilians look like they're sleeping.

The only popular movement really expressive is the
MS.T. (landless movement.) Formed by people who
have nothing fo lose and want a piece of land to
work. The MS.T. s very organized. They occupy
unproductive lands in the best direct action style.
MS.T. is organized in the whole couniry. They are so
expressive that the govenment cannot ignore them,
nor their requirements.

But, MS.T.is not like the Indians in Chiapas. MST. is
not as revolutionary as the Zapatistas. Their ideals are
only confined to the economic sphere. They don't
question a lot of authoritarian institutions. In some
aspecls, MS.T. is conservative. The left parties have
got foo much influence in the movement. Part of
that cannot be considered as a good influence.

The anarchists in Brazil are few, not very much
organized and having anfalmost despicably meager,
social influence. But one day, the story was different.
In the end of last century, many European immiarants

brought the anarchist ideals to Brazil. They organized
and created the trade unions in Brazil. The anarchists
had the main influence in the working class fights ‘fill
1930. The communist manipulation, the state Sz
repression and other factors, caused the decrease of
the anarchist movement in Brazil. But, in the 90's we
are growing up, not on a large scale, but...

| think that's all for a while.

Thanks, Anthony

P.S. Somy. | was shorter than | expected to be. |
intended to write more, but it makes it difficult (writing

at another opportunity.

Dear Leo, Thanks for wiiling. Like a typical American,
I'd be lost if | fried fo communicate in Portugese,
Spanish - anything. So, | really appreciate the effort.
You make your points, very well. I'm sure you're a
very good social analyst in Portugese.

Very few Americans possess even an inkling of
whatit is like to live in another country, much less how
the United States is making these people suffer.
We're taught to not care about people outside the
US. Aswe steal and pillage fo gorge upon several
fimes our share of the world's resources, waste and
pollute the world at a suicidal rate, we expect
countries o pony up what money they have to our

stick up men - the "World" Bank, Wall Street, the IMF,
elc. Real human beings around the world are
suffering and dying because the few ruling America
insist on even more bilions and trillions in their coffers.
It's utterly, cosmically obscene and the whole world
should revolt as one and end this shit, once and for
alll Keep fighting, my friend. You speak the fruth.

would like 10 share parls of some of his letiers ond Iyics, in no
parlicular order. If you've ever read his zine. You're Not Nomal or -
heard his musical project, Decimation of Authorily. you know ffom
where | speak. Here's Sean Lambert, folks.

I will always fell the pure truth as| see il. So many people seem
indilferent towards ollthis shit, but I'm findind as of lole, more and
more people are showing they care. Nof only do hey care, but
Ihey wanna gel involved & fight for a beller word. So, while some
may condemn us or dismiss our ideas 0s naive, ofhers are seeing he
Ppostibilfies. As you said. nof an easy fask. Buf anything worlh
having s worth fighting for, | don't want o be just anofher mindless
consumer or wheel in the machine. My lite is worth so much more. |
won't lay down & submit & I won't allow apathy fo infest my heort
with ifs disease.

I know ofhers wish our kind will go away. Affer all, we're the ones
Ihat are forcing them to think and look in the miror. Dealing with
Ihese kinds of people can be frushating. I've come across people
who think I'm fterally insane for believing in anarchy. But, do we
hate these folks or shouid we pily them because they are ruly
victims? You and | have been lucky enough o resist society's
brainwashing. But some people are not so fortunate. 1 feel sorry for
Ihem, for they are the dupes of rich white men, who (wouid) rather
see them dead. So, it' for them we golta fight even harder.

s only by luck that | discovered the word of anarchism & it

scares me that | could have easily been another pawn, but | lucked
out. 1 thank whoever there i to thank that throughout my life.
certain people forced me o challenge what | was faught fo
believe. Throughout high school, | always got shit from jocks, so
naturally | fumed fo so-called nerds and ofher misiits & often got info
fights when I saw a smoller kid get picked on by bigger kids. All my
life, | connected best with other so-Called losers. Of course, they
were losers, cos Ihey dlidn't see sports as the be all end all of lfe. |
never had @ normal childhood. (Sean's mother died when he was
eight)

Talways got shit for being different. so I've always had fo fight. So,
it's that aftitude thot sustains me in the struggle we fight.

Yeah, it is bulshit, how the white man is confinually fucking over
the Indlions. Up here, the stale of New Yorkis rying to force fhe.
Seneca Nation of Indians fo pay faxes, even though that's a direct
violation of thei freaty. This shit has been going on over a year.

Now, what you said about your union rep not wanting to print up.
the Anli-Airport Alet s 50 fucking Irue. Truth s fruth, my brother,
whether it steps on foes or not. If needs fo be said. Shout i Scream
. 1find that whole “I support your message as long os it doesn't
offend anybody" atlifude so pathetic. As that S. T. song goes "I'm
sorry it offend you but maybe you needed lo be offended. Well,
there's my apology. One more thing: Fuck Youl"

Hey pal, thanx for writing & sendiing tha piece of yours on
homophobia. Fucking briliant is the word for it. If only more straight
people had your attitude & the same goes for white people, if only.
Ihey had your ottitude on race.

Isee the three evils (racism, sexism & homophobia) all the time.
I'm convinced they're all the same of bullshit & ignorance -
creation of the capitalist system fo further divide the working class &
keep them af eachothers' throais.

Whenever | hear some stupid slur or joke. | speak up & put the
bigols in their place. 1 get accused of faking things too seriously. |
have a sense of humor & ike to joke around, 100 But, putting ofher
people down & hating them is not humor or funny in any way. So |
argue with them & fry fo convince them they're wrong & change
their ways. II's never foo late for people to open their mind & let life

Iit's OK with you, I'l copy & dislro TB #6. | made up 30 copies of

traded, fuck money. it's worthiess) & still get more ordiers for if

One thing that pisses me off is how the pro-life movement claims
Ihe recent "RICO" legislation against them is defeat of iree
speech. First off, blowing up clinics & killng docors is not free
speech & neilher is physically preventing women from enfering
cinics. These people now paint themselves out fo be social
dissidents. What a fucking joke! They're the same as fhe Kian or
Nazis. I'm pro-choice & whether abortion is right or wrong is not my
choice fo make. II's up 1o the woman & she should have @ choice.
Yes, kids are great, but some people aren'l made out 1o be parents.

Ithink you must be @ great DAD. Your kids are lucky fo have o
quy like you to guide them thru life. | have lofs of friends wikids &
Iheir kics are great. | love how they see the world full of innocence &
fove. Kids are so open-minded & cool. | guess I'm rambling.

1got accused at work by a co-worker recently for thinking foo
much. To that 1 answer guilly. But they think oo little. All they want
are their video games and sugar-coated false redlity & they're
happy. So sorry. but willintrude into their piastic world w/a much
needed dose of reality. When they make some stupid, ignorant
comment, I willbe there fo put Iruth & perspective info the spotiight.
These are fhe people who should read your zines. but are oo

Back Your Life” #2, 50 send spoken word for that, if you want. If you
do send stul for eilher of these lapes. be forewarned I'linterview
you for each one. Some people don’l read zines like yours & only 45
listen to music, so Ihis is my way of gelling the message 1o them.
Thanx for the fape. Really dug how "Don’l Let ‘Em Do It came out,
Was that you singing?

Did you hear about whal happened o that handicapped black
manin Texas? Three whie boneheads chained him fo the back of
Iruck & dragged him fo his death. Words can't describe the rage &
sadness | feel over that shil. The shame of it is, the media will Ireat it
as anisolated incident & move on 1o the next story. Am 1 the only
one who sees this as just anofher in a long series of racist actions? |
don't want people o forget this. | want people fo remember it &
get MAD! I'm fired of the *ignore it &it'll go away" allitude most
people have. I'm also sick of the “Oh, that’s awful but if doesn't
happen here” atlilude. People need fo wake the fuck up! Andstill
polificians debate about free speech for the KKK & Nos.

Hello! Anyone in there? I'm o fed up with racism. Ii's one insane.
act after another. People don't care if a good black man or
woman dies. but when Princess Diana died, that was a TRAGEDY.
Priorities? What are they#2?

Apathy surrounds us and we cCall it Ireedom. Human rights? Who
cares aboul that? What we want is more money. How can people
look at this mess & not be disgusted?

Than for sending back the inferview. It came out awesome.
Here's a lape wilh some of my new songs on . Hope you like them,
especially the lyiics. After my stuff,is the Propagandhi LP. Sony, I1ost
Ihe fitles. but the vocals are prefly understandable & fhis may
appeal fo you more than other stulf I've sent before & side 8
contains some Jello Biafra spoken word. While Jello is notan .
anarchist, he does have some good ideas & is both entertaining &
informaive. ke his sense of humor. So. I hope you like this fape.

Who the fuck are the Winans? You falked about fheir song “Not
Nalural” in your interview. That's sick shil. The some arguments
against homosexualily were used against inter-aciol couples. Infer-
raciat lovers proved it wrong, just s gays prove it wiong. Love s love
& homophobes must have boring lives if they worry about ofher

I'can understand your cillicism of some anarcho-punk music. 47
Some of it is s0 noisy & the wordis are hard fo make oul. That's why |
supply lyic sheels and/or booklels with my tapes. I want people fo
know Ihe words. As for he noisy part, I ike fhat kind of siulf & those
that like more melodiic stufl,it's out here. SETHI & Propaghandi
come fo mind.

After all. it's just music & music should get people interested in
these ideas. Bul. people need fo research these fhings by reading
books, zines, pamphiets, efc. That's what I did.

Here's also enclosed a copy of the Counter Cullure newsleler. |
got around 50 copies of Ihis, 5o anyone you know. I can send i fo.

Iwant fo start a prison support organization here in weslemn New
York, like the Anarchist Black Cross & Raze the Wals. | already offer
Iree tapes/zines fo prisoners. We should support our brofhers & sisters
behind bars.

Igot info contact with ARA - Greeensboro. I'll distro their ARA
benefit comp & zine. Did I forget o mention that I'm moking o
newsletter of contacts? So, send in listings for all your projects.

Reading your interview, | realize you & | think so much alike. it's
scary. Ifit wasn't for pen pas like you, I'd probably go insane. Of
course, some would say. I'm Ihere alieadly. HAHA.

Well, lake care & wilte soon -

Hi Anthony! How's life2 Here's Lina and Rui from
Experimental Distro. Thanks for writing and for all the
‘Zines!l We didn't have the time yet to read 55
everything, but from what we read we want fo say to
you: Don't feel alone in your fight. There's lots of
people fighting out there the s@me fight! The two of
s here are with you (and your family) on the front
line! The network we create by mail gives us lots of
strength. That's why we write so much and try to
support lots of people. We're going to copy your
‘zines and sell it cheap through our catalogue.

About the computer you want. Tell us and we
could send you disks with different type of letter
(fonts) or just anarchist pictures or any other thing.

OXK. . as you can see, we're both sending you a
picture from us both. Our hair is no longer long like
that, butit's us. Do you have any with your family2
Send us one, plecse.

If you want, you can send a text so that we can
putitin our ‘zine. It would be a pleasure.

It's good to write to people older than us and that
never gave up of the real fight. For us is so inspiring as
are the bands which give us strength to continue. We
also write-with Fred Woodworth, although he didn't
write for some fime.

We decided to write to Sean Lambert. He looks a
very good person and also committed with his
thoughts. Thanks for sending his great ‘zine! (It's
DY)

US AGAINST THEM

20 ELMWOODY
NORWICH, CT. 06360

You should do a flier so your ‘zine could reach
more people. If you want, you can send the text and
drawings and we could have everything on the $4
computer and send you the original for you to make
copies. A flier is always a good idea.

It's a pity our distance, we could like fo meet you,
one day without any doubt... Anyway you have a
house here, no problem.

We think that's all for now.

Good luck with the new A R A chapter and
grind those bastards down who are pro-airport!!!

Bye and kisses 1o all your FAMILY!

Dear Lina & Rui, That's why | write to lofs of people,
100. It really goes a long way bucking you up to face
the shit we all must deal with every day. It's a great 7
picture!* It's thrilling to see two people so obviously in
love, working hard to build anarchy. I've since
gotten that computer, written more zines and all that
stuff. I've talked to Huddersfield previously and
they've indeed written me back. They do great work.
Ihope you like the picture I sent. I would love to get
a alot of anarchist pictures, etc. My wife will help me
figure out all that “disk" stuff. Asitis, | use the
computer just to write and email. It's a fremendous
help in organizing work and writing. But | think it kind
of makes you a bit lazy, writing-wise. With just a
typewriter, you must really craft what you want to
say, concentrate and try to minimize mistakes. | think
it is always best fo write things out longhand first then
transcribe them onto a computer, fo develope
thoughts more fully. My sister-in-law hails from
Portugal and | am lucky fo get a real sense of the
vibrancy and joy for life your country exudes. | will
grind those pro-airport bastards down! Thankyou
very much! ARA is going cool. We have mostly
young, high school people, usually with their own
bands, in our group. They're into animal liberation,
punk music, fighting racism and stuff like that.

Make sure, Sean Lambert is one helluva man, who
fights hard for the realization of anarchy, everyday.
To me, he exempilifies what D.LY. is all about. | love

CONTINUED WILLINGNESS
TO FOLLOW LEADERS

IS GETTING US NOWHERE
the guy like a brother and correspond with him
regularly. He don't bullshit around (like me and most
other “underground" folks.) He spits out the dead-on
fruth without any fancy candy-coating. <9

Kisses and hugs to you, too, and maybe some day
I 'can fake you up on your generous offer to put me
up (and put up with me*)
