While heading to the ESF in Malmo we had started compiling a post-NeoCon Territories Pirate Map ( i.e. Safe Harbors + FreeZones ) to distribute, but THat became a concept for a much longer-term publishing project. So for now, and for purposes of sewing quick seeds with our globalista comrades and fellow eco-Orgs, we printed up this XLt cover above for the latest Podinski sampler: Farther East: Balkan 2 Baltica mix. Contact us if you’d like to get ahold of one, it will help fuel your drunken boat (i.

The 2008 Globalista Elections: Yes or No on United States Re-entry to Planet Earth ? Last June, Slavoj Zizek was in NYC participating in the Left Forum on the topic Resist, Attack, Undermine: Where Are We 40 Years After 68? Also interviewed by Amy Goodman in two full programs on Democracy Now, Zizek in usual provocative form commented on US Elections, suggesting that everyone EXCEPT citizens of the US should vote on the next head of global Empire. It later occurred to the XL Terrestrials to not only take him seriously, but in fact go further with the idea, and more effectively initiate a more up-to-date democracy through a kind of Anti- or Inverted Survivor Game Show to enact truer representation and practical deconstruction of this urgent matter.

A Little XL Terrestrial Analysis of Supercolliders, Toblerone, and The End of The World As We Know Not Better ( 9.10 + 9.11 = X - $10bn ) It hadn’t really hit home what was underneath the surface of the much touted and conjectured Big Bang Genesis, Dark Matter and String theories, what exactly might be at the core of the $10bn (£5.1bn) experiment at Cern, until we read towards the end of one of the Guardian’s many intriguing articles that the US also has its own supercollider laboratory (soon to be decommissioned?

[ Steve Bell from the UK Guardian currently reporting from the US ] More news coming from the RNC in the Twin Cities… Democracy Now’s Amy Goodman among journalists arrested, and 2 cameramen from Submedia TV … for now check their latest RNC Dispatch #3 ( AND #4 ) ! And please send them your support! Note: These 2 media outlets represent 2 very different styles of radical and cutting-edge reporting, one a very sober look at the news ignored by corporate-owned media, the second a very impassioned view disobeying all the rules of corporate newsroom lackey-dom, in other words a highly subjective journalists’ revolt.

” Our Society’s obsession with controlling the future - and with insuring accumulation - has at least 2 major consequences. The first is the organization of a consumer environment for the immediate satisfaction of anticipated desires, with the effect of eliminating desire as such, and creating an atmosphere of suspended disbelief where entire populations move zombie-like and intellectually silent beneath exaggerated images of their unconscious drives. The second consequence, as we have seen with such violence in recent years, is the simple removal of those who might trouble this forcibly tranquilized landscape with any kind of disturbing presence or political speech.

This weekend we visited Camp Tipsy, a very non-commercial cultural festival on the outskirts of Berlin. High on the list of inspiring moments (which we are willing to make public in the plogosphere) are as follows… sleeping in a Tipi* while it rains; Jumping in the cool lake waters after not sleeping for more than 24 hours; being nourished by all the Volkskueche action; watching the crew and citizens of the camp delicately attend to an over-intoxicated passenger; witnessing a collective member of the Dub Pub with hardcore, unshakable principles refuse to allow Non-Bio milk to remain anywhere in the vicinity of his bar/dj table at sunrise inbetween making coffee for the few dawn survivors and dropping vinyl…
