[Nettime-bold] [Make Tea Not War] Anti-War Protests, a bit late but welcomenonetheless.

["Lachlan Brown" <lachlan@london.com>]

Pity no one joined in my sole email protest of September 2001->
 against 'the Coup' (which got into Bin Laden's video btw)  and 
the War on Afghanistan, (Nettime and Nettime Bold Sept 2001 -> 
except for a few weeks when I was detained by Immigration Canada)
 but heart warming to see so many people protesting internationally. Especially nice to see a couple of million marching in London.

Better late than never.

In my experience once people get going, speaking up and acting
out, it takes quite some time for them to stop, even when they 
have forgotten what it was that got them going in the first place.

Some of this email material to Nettime, AoIR and undercurrents and many other lists is to be published in my critique of 'the tragedy 
of the commons' _Some Thoughts on the Unmarked Grave of 
History from the Unmade Bed of Culture_ . Looking for a publisher for it.

I feel a new web site coming on (set for March 21st 2003)
http://WorldWideWebProject.com
- 'the authorised version' with all the usual *HOT critical + 
creative stuff* ;) 

Alternative and independent media servers too if anyone needs one 
- I know the Thing does. Come to Toronto.

All,

The significance of 11 September, 8:45 am?

In 1973,  the American Government backed a coup that ousted the democratically elected government of Chile. At 8:45 11 September 
1973 Salvador Allende, President, made an impassioned radio 
broadcast that helps put events 28 years later at New York and Washington in their historical context.

Let us all help America restore its democracy and stop it from reproducing terror. Let us mourn the dead and disappeared of New 
York and Washington along with the dead and disappeared of Chile's 'night', which lasted a generation. Let us object to 'a war whose enemies are not yet known' on the grounds that the American government trained, backed and created its own demons, and that 
such language is a threat and affront  to all of us implying the 
emergence of deep currents of fascism in the American psyche from Salem 
through to MacCartheyism. Let us give all of our love, support and goodwill to Americans as they make their priority necessary change 
in their government's policy, or change their government. Let us 
not be complicit in the victimisation of another Islamic country 
(and the production of future 'terrorisms').
 Lets break the cycle.
Let us put a stop to a racist war before the war machine is 
mobilised. Let us remind every generation that rights are won, 
re-won or extended by each generation. or they are lost for all.

Stop the war. 

Lachlan

     Subject: too many mails

     would it be possible for you to send fewer messages to nettime?

you responded:

     Yes, of course, I am in part responding to replies to my posts to
     Nettime and elsewhere. 'So Far So Good' X3 was an error - trouble
     with a web based email account. Apols. Under normal circumstances
     I wouldn't write at all to Nettime except for an occasional
     publication notice but we are in an extraordinary moment, it's
     clear theres a coup, and these posts have seemed necessary.

an example:
