TRANSPONDER BB - A il TR S Hi 3 ik HEDKooDLE —DoMwN —— & AL THE SUSPECTS HERE iN | Lok Up ToWHOM THIS IsH. A Ransom Note Hi! I'm Smedley. I once was called “editor” of this zine, which sounds better than owner or creator... some shit like that. But, If anything created this artifact, it was the moment in time and space where it was assembled. No, this isn't only one person playing with rev names, and " yes we really all do exist. Well at least we did at the various moments this came together. As for me, I'm a robber. As to the rest of the staff... I don't tell peo-ple others’ business like that. But Il say all of our imprisonment resulted from appropriations of property and fighting cops. I hope this Issue doesn't come off as overly propagandistic... other than that, I make no apologies for what you might get out of this. Do you, for what you get out of Iife? Are we political prisoners? Prisoners of the dlass war? You decide. You were going to anyways... Oh, and by the way. For the next few minutes we'll aim to hold your attention for ransom, But the moment is always yours. Remember that. It's your first step to freedom. To holler @ the Smeditor, write: Dave Gurz EB1596 R.D. 10 Box 10 Greensburg, PA 15601. Yeah, Il write back. No, I don't have siimy plots brewing. If you're a racist or other type of hater - save your postage. "Darkness Descending’ by Art Smith EA 1560 same joint. S0, CHICAGO ABC ZINE DISTRO PUBLSHER & DISTRIBUTOR P.0.BOX 721 HOMEWOOD, IL 60430 ‘The Chow Insurrection They started fucking with our food. It came down the pike from the main office and serving sizes were cut. We got tired of losing weight and bei hungry all the time. So eleven of us refused to push our trays back out the slot in the door. The Warden came. Then the Director of food managemeat came. Then the write-ups came. Maybe dinner will be bigger. Ill probably be here i the hole with Smizz for the rest of the summer, but if you're gonaa die - die with your boots on. To Solidarity! Some stll call them PIGS. “Darkness Descends” Unpure is the wrath of this unfiltared light, ading shadows of doubt as dark as the night. Violance lingers with vengeance on hold, ready to unleash terrors untold. A tramp under a bridge cries out in pain, a victim of darkness and its colorlass flames. Rage and fury fight to unfold, total decimation, blackness and cold. Soon only roaches and rats will remain, bacoming presidents and kings of this vast domain. Human hands laid the plans on all that was done, 20 I hope they died happy and got what thay wanted. Because, daylight is dead stirring uneasily in its grave, another victim of darknass on the dawn of its age. Written by “Smiz” ~ Gulag Blues ~ These fuckers took a copy of Thought Bombs #17 off o one of the guys back here I'd let read it. The bastards sent it o the security/intelligence office along with a copy of Enrico Malatesta’s The Anarchist Revolusion | had lent to, the guy. 1 don’t know - I didn’t consider them like “Mine! All mine!™ S, it was more like [ usually do with Anarchist and other lterature, put it up 25 common material, using a “library” approach. Same as with all the stuff that's been collectivized out in popula the Radical Element Subterrancan Information Network (Resin Collective.) ill, it sucks that these gestapo scumbags taxed 1.1, Lhese pigs arc so ve these days 10 anything they can construc 45 possibly a secarity word there is construc. Of course they have no problem with mainstream media that “advocates violence.” But when there’s mention of woing counter to the politieal game accepted by the US government, forget it The violence pumped through the tv is acceptable 1o them. Not “Hollywood™ vialence, but the violence agsinst civilians by the military and corporations. eah, yezh, we all know that when it serves the military industrial complex, these incidents are milked for all they're worth. Case ia paint: Sept. 1. HHow many people - average US ciizens - realize that it's not their war that those workers in the WTC perished over? 10's so fucking blatant: Government policy wrote u check which was cashed in the bload of it civilian population. Did the religious fanatics who cashed that check have 30y Justifiable reason to do that? Fuck no! They were controlled by religion in Hie way that the US soldicrs at My Lai were controlled by patriotism. Docs the Afghan child, starving ia the wasteland of Kandabar have 1ay more say about the acts of Islamic Fundamentalism than the orphaned New York child cryiog for a Mother who will never come home from work bas with US foreign policy? Yet, look who remains unscathed: the leaders of the network allegedly responsible for the attacks and the leaders of the US. Fucking cannon fodder. That's all we are to the ruling class. Face it,the workiog underclass is st best a labor pool for the wealth holders, the power holders, the ideologues asd capitalists. Disposable asd controllable - that’s how they keep us. Disposable with wars and wage slavery which works the main of the population to deatb. asd cantrollable through the apparatus of the prison state. Now, see the shift post 9,11 to each end of that spectrum - militant nationalism becomes the main, the leaders encourage more spendiog (o boost the economy & create jobs (0 Keep the people busy while the resl money concentrates in the hands of the military contractors. “And on the other side of the coia: enhanced police powers 1o il the stil expanding prison system. O which who really profits? Sosicty by the criminalization of further and further activities? Look how well the War oa Drugs has failed! Oh, yes, I see now - the deterrent factor of penologics} incapacitation. Mmm, hmm. That's why crime rates have been droppisg while imprisonmeat rates have beea climbing. So, then, you ask what profits from all this? What ever profits? Authority und leaders are justified by the phenomens of crime and war which they create 1o assure their own protection and position starding atop the necks of the working class poor, minorities and women. And with that, here reprinted is the Anarchist Solution to the Problem of Crime. — B 4 L) (N2 2| [t Y K Gk ) COMMENT ON . 17 D T™O WWWMBS#E RevehT sad He liked, CHEEZUS SE% it WAS PxeLriar'L /T';fc r(j?)f e iS THi e Dirt gAve A 9P, S:L\Se;elyN ggfsynl; ghly ReccoMend i+! .
