BOMB : A MANIFESTO OF ART TERRORISM

BOMB is part personal reflection, part social critique. A pointed and opinionated observation about graffiti culture, media terrorism, art "education", corporate control, and the ills of the current art world.

by Raymond Salvatore Harmon

MANIFESTO (excerpt from BOMB)

• Art is an evolutionary act. The shape of art and its role in society is constantly changing. At no point is art static. There are no rules.

• The power of art lies not in its interpretation but in the form of its experience. To perceive art, to become aware of art, is to know art.

• Art terrorism is an act of cultural insurgency designed to bring attention to the ‘third world’ status of art in contemporary society.

• The objectification of art is dead. Art is experience, not ownership.

• Art is a language by which mankind expresses itself, a universal language that is not dictated by critics, journalists or academics.

• The art terrorist seeks the secession of art from the financial/academic infrastructure of the supposed ‘art world.’

• Art terrorism is intrinsically related to contemporary media and its manipulation.

• Supposed art educational institutions are merely focused on financial gain and should be condemned and destroyed.

APOCRYPHA DISCORDIA

 
The Apocrypha Discordia is a sequel to The Principia Discordia which was featured in my guide for dummies to 23 numerology. It is a collection of works on Discordia, written by various Discordian saints, sinners, popes, priests, madmen, miscreants, degenerates, straight-arrows, etc...
Compiled from various non-copyrighted (or Kopylefted) sources by His Wholiness the Reverend DrJon Swabey and published sometime in the 21st century (the date on the document says 2001, but we're not going to fall for that one).

ALL HAIL DISCORDIA!

 ..and Eris!

The Discordian Manifesto #3 (excerpt from the book - first paragraph)

We don’t endorse, believe in, or even remotely agree with the insipid resolutions of any government, government branch, organization, or secret society that imposes their aneristic illusions upon the rest of civilization. We will not stand by and allow Oreos to be eaten whole. We will not stand on our heads and allow these jackals to repeatedly apply their warped sense of logic and righteousness to the rest of society. And we will not create useless Manifestos without the powerful ontological might to back them up. We will use the considerable psychological talents in our employ to destroy, assimilate, or otherwise dissemble or disable the aneristic leaders and their lemming-like followers, just as soon as tea time is done and the check is in the mail. Our psychological and ontological talents and methods far-surpass anything our aforementioned enemy has in their arse anal.

To read the whole manifesto and much more grab the book below.

RIGHT HERE

And remember, there are only five laws.. The law of laws!

1. All laws are incorrect, except those which are correct.
2. All incorrect laws are correct, except those which are not.
3. All correct laws are incorrect, inasmuch as they are not correct, but correct, inasmuch as they may be.
4. All laws that may be correct are correct, unless they are otherwise.
5. There are always five laws.
   
    

THE DANCE OF REVOLUTION

The dance of revolution is a continuous project, floating free, perpetually changing, always focused. The music it moves to is pure energy, weaving three interdependent melodies: participation, founded on the passion of play; communication, founded on the passion of love; and realization, founded on the passion to create. Refusing the value of appearances, the dance makes itself invisible to those who see only appearances; the spectacle of the commodity cannot defend itself. The dance can never be a closed system, it never mystifies itself; rather, it realizes itself in its own supersession, in the sublime movement of subversion, where a pirouette returns to itself not as itself, not as it was born, but changed, reconceived in a limitless perspective. Subversion devalues each fragmented element in the hierarchy of appearances; each isolated commodity — whether it be inanimate objects or objectified human beings selling themselves in the marketplace — is projected into the significance of the WHOLE, all possible connections are made as we dance closer to the totality of our lives. Subversion is the only language, the only gesture, that bears within it its own critique. Its force is pleasure seeking itself. In the language of subversion we begin to sing, our whole lives begin to move in the rhythm of the song: thus we create the dance: thus the revolution becomes our daily life.

SPEECH FROM V FOR VENDETTA

TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR OWN LIFE

"Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of the everyday routine. The security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration whereby important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful, bloody struggle are celebrated with a nice holiday. I thought we could mark this November the 5th. A day that is, sadly, no longer remembered by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are, of course, those who do not want us to speak. Even now, orders are being shouted into telephones and men with guns will soon be on their way.

Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation. Words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning and, for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of Surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Certainly there are those who are more responsible than others and they will be held accountable. But again, truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty you need only look into a mirror.

I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you and in your panic, you turned to the now High Chancellor Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night, I sought to end that silence. Last night, I destroyed the Old Bailey to remind this country of what it has forgotten.

More than 400 years ago, a great citizen wished to imbed the 5th of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice and freedom are more than words. They are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest that you allow the 5th of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek then I ask you to stand beside me, one year from tonight outside the gates of Parliament and together, we shall give them a 5th of November that shall never, ever be forgot."

FREEDOM?

In Western culture freedom is the most important value. Americans value freedom more than love and that is why the USA is messed up. Love is more important than anything else including freedom. Love should be mandatory. When we beg for more freedom we should always be asking ourselves what do we want the freedom to do in particular. The Western individualistic model of freedom is unacceptable because it allows for all kinds of hateful behavior. We need to discard individualism and move toward collectivism. Freedom can be divided into two categories: benevolent freedom and malevolent freedom. Benevolent freedom is the freedom to love others and malevolent freedom is the freedom to hate others.


Here is a list of benevolent freedoms. The freedom to be with our friends, families and communities. The freedom to marry. The freedom to help others. The freedom to be nice. The freedom to share your possessions with others. The freedom to express love, compassion and empathy. The freedom to choose how one wants to contribute to their community. The freedom to choose ones career path. Freedom of art, music, literature and entertainment. Freedom of religion. Freedom of thought, education and learning. Freedom of dress, clothing, hairstyle and appearance.


Here is a list of malevolent freedoms. The freedom to hate, hurt and reject other people. The freedom to abandon your children. The freedom to break someone’s heart. The freedom to abandon your family or friends. The freedom to kill. The freedom to make war. The freedom to be mean. The freedom to be racist, sexist or homophobic. The freedom to commit rape and assault. The freedom to be rich while others are homeless and starving. The freedom to enslave others. The freedom to express hatred. The freedom to lie. The freedom to steal.

Only benevolent freedoms should be allowed. No individual should ever be allowed to have malevolent freedoms. We should create strong, tightly-knit, autonomous, local communities and we do not need to return to the oppressive conditions of the Middle Ages.

While the Western countries, like Canada, United States, Australia and Western Europe, have the highest material standard of living these countries also have the highest level of alienation. Let’s define alienation as loneliness, isolation and atomization. This alienation can be seen in the large number of people living alone, the high divorce rates, the broken communities, the shallow and temporary interpersonal relationships, the high rates of depression, violence, substance abuse and suicide and the geographically scattered networks of friends and families. This alienation can most accurately be described as a highly mobile form of solitary confinement under which the individual is able to move around freely but is often kept in isolation by an invisible barrier between themselves and others. This type of alienation must not be confused with that of inmates who experience the most brutal form of solitary confinement imposed on them by prison authorities which is very damaging psychologically.

Only face to face meetings between members of a local community can guarantee that good decisions are made for the individuals participating in the decision making process. The only form of authority that the individual should be subject to is local authority. Structures of authority that extend beyond the local level cause alienation. National and regional governments have given rise to a moderate degree of alienation. Structures of authority that extend beyond the local community, like national governments, should be abolished. A world government would cause total alienation all over the world. The more people that are under the control of a structure of authority the more each individual is alienated from others. Globalization should be opposed because it leads to world government and total alienation. Globalization, capitalism and individualism cause alienation. This is why the world government that is being created by organizations like the G20, WTO, IMF, World Bank, NATO and the United Nations should be opposed. If these organizations successfully create a world government then alienation will intensify and spread throughout the world like a killer virus. Local authority causes little to no alienation. National and regional governments have caused a moderate level of alienation. World government will cause total alienation.

ZMK SOUNDSYSTEM - MIND YOUR HEAD

(Article taken from ' Kanaal 0 magazine')

 

3 dagen later, nog steeds wakker.

De opstelling is als volgt:
Op een grote mixer zijn een stel gare draaitafels en plastic drumcomputers aangesloten, 5 sjakies zijn compleet in hun machines, verdwaald maar de mix klopt perfect, Jimmy de neger draait nog een hasj jointje die hij vergeet door te pasen. “Wil je een slokje water, een tripje…of nog een pilletje?” je draait je om en ziet een klein meisje met groen haar en grote ogen je vragend aankijken…
Jenny Carrot zit op de bank te praten tegen een beestje die ze net heeft getekend.
Johnny Cola zit naast haar en vraagt zich af: “Het schemert. Wordt het nou juist dag of nacht?” …2 uur later, wordt er weer een culinair hoogstandje bereid door Johhny Chow, een noodlesoepie.
…En maar platenpraten
DJ Y? :’ik weet het niet man, elke keer als er een vette plaat
gedraaid wordt is het ‘n micropoint en dan heb ik em niet”

Een week later…

1e ZMK feest, ergens onder een brug.
De situatie is zo:
Nog niet alle spullen staan onder de brug langs de waal, de politie is al aanwezig en heeft de straat afgezet, godverdomme. Het is duidelijk, ze willen niet dat hier een feest gegeven wordt.
Op dat moment blijkt via een telefoontje dat er wel 500 man klaarstaan op het station om de hele nacht dansend door te brengen op snoeiharde industriële beats en helse synthlijnen. We vonden die mensen belangrijker dan dat ene papiertje waar de snorren over liepen te zeiken,
dus we beloofden de politie om weg te gaan, maar achter hun rug om sjouwden we de laatste spullen het terrein op. De draaitafels werden aangesloten, de speakers opgebouwd, de generator gestart en het feest barstte los..., tot 5 uur, tot de ME besloot actie te ondernemen en alle spullen in beslag nam, bastards!

...toch mooi geflikt en die spullen krijgen we toch wel terug. Deze 18 jarige tjappies zijn pas net begonnen.... -‘you might stop the party but you cant stop the future!’-

Een jaar later…

De flyers zijn verspreid en volgens de geruchtenstroom gaat de volgende freeparty in Den Haag gegeven worden. Een oude chemische fabriek blijkt toch niet helemaal geschikt, de kraak mislukt en er worden mensen opgepakt.
Er wordt een noodvergadering ingelast en we besluiten om het op het laatste moment achter Hollands Spoor te doen. Op dat rotte stukkie Den Haag staat een heel mooi verlaten ‘warehouse’ pand waar al eerder een klein feestje is geweest, junkies rustig kunnen basen en achter een tippelzone ligt...Wie kunnen we daar in godsnaam overlast bezorgen dachten wij zo...
Het pand staat gewoon open en bij binnenkomst blijken er een stel verdwaalde Ieren te wonen die het supervet vinden dat we een dikke party in hun huis komen geven.
Terwijl honderden mensen binnenstromen is er, met de door-de-situatie-overvallen-agenten-in-functie-ter-plaatse en de brand-weer-commandant een discussie gaande. Na een korte rondleiding besluiten de net-uit-bed-gebelde-ordehandhavers dat alles brandveilig is mits een grote stalen extra nooddeur wordt opengeslepen, geen probleem, want de vader van KapiteinKoek heeft nog wel een grote slijptol in zijn achterbak.
Zo gezegd zo gedaan, fluitje van een cent, piece of cake dusss. Het feest wordt gedoogd en kan doorgaan tot de late ochtend uurtjes...

Zetemka is back on track

Wij zien onszelf als een groep mensen die gewoon toffe dingen willen doen zonder in de commercie terecht te komen, met vergunningen en te veel dure regeltjes te maken willen krijgen. Gewoon voor de hobby, ‘Do it yourself’ weetjewel; we kunnen zelf wel draaien, live optreden , performen, speakers stapelen en irritant doen aan de deur.

Met veel geld en een Heineken sponsor mag je op de Erasmus-brug met tienduizend breezer sjappies een tiesto-festival organiseren dat de hele stad plat legt, zodat je gvdomme geeneens boodschappenkan doen, wat zeg ik… je straat niet eens uit kom…
Wil je gewoon ergens op een afgelegen plek in een andere dimensie een gratis feest met interessante muziek geven voor mensen met vrienden van robots en rare DMT-wezentjes (die dus geen zin hebben in massa hysterie of dure trendy disco’s waar je toch alleen maar ruzie heb met behaarde toiletjuffrouws en cokie uitsmijters) …
komt er zo’n S.W.A.T.-team van de brug ge-abseilt, dreigend met geweld en proberen ze je spullen in beslag te nemen. Alleen omdat wij het niet volgens hun regeltjes doen.

Maar die regels zijn ook maar stukken tekst, bedacht door compuntermenschen in veilige grijze kantoortjes. Theorie dus, in de praktijk kan het altijd anders. Je moet dan alleen zelf een beetje nadenken, situaties inschatten en je verantwoordelijkheden nemen. Als je het zo doet, waardoor je feest illegaal wordt is dat jammer, maar natuurlijk wel ontzettend stoer…zo stoer dat t pijn doet.

…Vier verdwaalde misvormde bruiden zoeken hun weg door een doolhof, later ontwaken zij in een ballenbad, zag ik dat nou echt? De muziek heeft weer toegeslagen…

Data transfer complete…

THE FUTURE IS NOW

 Well it all started with a simple anodine reflexion : " how will the future generation remember what we are doing ? what will be the tekno culture image in the next decade ?"

Because our movement is very underground and acts in the shadow, its steps are not always really understood by majority of people (often by people involved in the movement itself). I wonder if the offspring of the underground tekno culture will understand what was the real meaning of all that.

For sure they will remember the rig and 30Kw soundsystems, the convoy of trucks roaming from cities to cities, and the music. but i'm talking about something more essential, the basics of all that, you know this little thing in our heads that tells us " ok lets go it's time to act, time to do something."

Basicaly the tekno travelling movement is related to the piracy of old ages. Like pirates on the seas, travelling soundsystems are roamin tryin to find places to settled the next party, finding gazole to fill the tankers and geny... i guess you know what i m talkin about :)

well this attitude as a certain meaning and i m wondering if this meaning will stay through the time or will it be replaced by a so called "rave fashion revival" in 15 years ; just like we saw a punk revival ???!!!

because it's born in the shadow, and lives in the shadow the tekno conspiracy is quite different from the culture of the 70's and 80's (especially hippy movement and punk movement) even if its all related, the basics are different because i think we'd learn how not to get fucked by the system (at least that's what i thaught until not so long).

... but ... the audience came in mass, and things changed alot. It became fashionable, everybody was talkin about rave and teknival, even the media get interested to it... reporters wrote book about travellers, soundsystems started to act like rock-band 25 years before... we started to enter in somekinda STAR SYSTEM !!!! fuck it!

So, know i'm not sure... maybe in 10 years will be released a "teknival compilation" ? or even worst maybe one day we'll see TV-ads for a washing machine with Spiral tribe's "forward the revolution" as a soundtrack ! i hope not !but i 'm not sure....

Our parents generation was made of woodstrock, LSD, jimi hendrix and sexual revoluion... today the same people are manager of microsoft, or any other computer company, with mobile phone, insurrance, credits cards and cable network TV.... our generation is made from teknival and fight against the G8 ... but in 20 years where will we be ? behind the TV watching DVD of the tekno revival, with a great documentary about the travelling lifestyle.... FUCK OFF !!!

I'm not fool, i know a part of us has already lost this battle and they will enter he system and watch TV, and buy expensive cars at low rate credits, and vote for our next president even if they know he's wanker ("but not the worst") and all this shit we live in... but not everyone from us, some are still resisting!

IT DIDN'T WIN ALREADY ! we still can resist... this is "POLITICAL-MIND-RIOTING" ! we still can make things change, not the all world i'm not utopist but we still can save what we've been fighting for ...

did you remembr the spiral tribe song "forward the revolution"... these magic words " you might stop the party but you can stop the future!"... well this was at the desination to the cops meaning they cant stop us, nothing can stop us... but...the real danger is the mass manipulation ... once 98% of the peoples acting in the tekno underground have become part of the system, it stays only a few, and they have to act, WE HAVE TO ACT...

keep on travelling, keep on exploring new countries over the world to expand the tekno conspiracy over its border,... no boundaries!

You reader, i dont know what camp you're in, but i already chose mine, i'll keep on fighting my own way, travelling, setting up 30K rig, playing seek and hide with the cops of any country, making performances, making music,

MILITARY INTELLIGENCE - DESERT STORM SOUNDSYSTEM

   

IRONY?23?:
Desert Storm : D-Storm

The name's Ironic, really. But you have to be extreme to maintain momentum and keep doing what you have to do in this end of Millennium Eurostate.

Don't be fooled. DStorm are aware that doing free parties - as tough as it is in Europe - is a holiday compared to Armed Conflict.

Let's face it Camouflage does look good, but that's no need to get confused over what Military IS or what it DOES. Confusion CAN arise when you get mixed up about whether the person getting shat on in the latest War deserves it or not.

This Misses the Point!
Any side is the wrong side. Wars are a product of the Economic machine we live in. If you're a part of that machine, paying taxes, buying products, drawing your dole. You're guilty as much as anyone else.

BE AWARE! WAKE UP! Send aid! But long term you may as well send a Band Aid, It'll all be happening next time.

WHY? It's all about the key to the executive toilet. Everyone wants to crap in style. Sure as shit Milosocrack, ain't slumming it. He's got one if those shitters that wipe your arse for you. This Toilet Envy is one of the major modern reasons for War. Race and Religion are just excuses.

D-Storm aim to combat this modern failing by making it cool to shit with a shovel.

Drop out, while they drop the Bombs. Left Wing and Right Wing have no meaning anymore. It's Money. The Oil the War machine needs is money. Flipside, it's due to a need of Money that the Machine needs War.

The Machine is the Global economy. Are you part of the machine? If you are, what can you do to withdraw your energy from the Machine. Think about it.

WOULD YOU?

"It's better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all your life."

- Elizabeth Kenny (20/09/1880 – 30/11/1952)

Well.. is it?

Ofcourse!


But it is not for me to decide what your answer will be..

So..

Would you rather have the right to create alternatives of choice?

.. or let the oppressor choose for you?

Would you rather die young and have many accomplishments?

.. or rather fade away into obscurity at an old age?

Would you die for something you believe in?

.. or watch it change on its own?

Would you protect your freedom?

.. or sacrifice it?

I KNOW I WOULD!

I choose to live as a lion,

I will not betray freedom by sacrificing it.

The secret of happiness is freedom.

The secret of freedom is courage.

Being a coward is not a choice for me,

therefor I would rather live as a lion.

TRANSMETROPOLITAN

Transmetropolitan is a post-cyberpunk comic book series written by Warren Ellis with art by Darick Robertson and published by DC Comics. The series was originally part of the short-lived DC Comics imprint Helix, but upon the end of the book's first year the series was moved to the Vertigo imprint as DC Comics cancelled the Helix imprint. It chronicles the battles of Spider Jerusalem, infamous renegade gonzo journalist of the future, an homage to gonzo journalism founder Hunter S. Thompson.

Spider Jerusalem dedicates himself to fighting the corruption and abuse of power of two successive United States presidents; he and his ("filthy") assistants strive to keep their world from turning more dystopian than it already is while dealing with the struggles of fame and power, brought about due to the popularity of Spider via his articles.

"These are the streets of this city, where the New Scum try to live. You and me, and here in these streets are the things that we want: sex and birth, votes and traits, money and guilt, television and teddy bears. But all we've actually got is each other. You decide what that means."

“We live in a monoculture. What does that mean? Well, go out to your street corner. You’ll probably see a Long Pig stand, SPKF on a screen somewhere, an Angry Boy Dylan’s Gun Store. You’ll go into a record store and see new recordings by the usual suspects, maybe a special Space Culture display rack.

Go out onto a streetcorner in London and you’ll see the same thing. Same in Prague. Same in Sao Paulo. Same in Osaka, and Grozny, and Tehran, and Jo’burg, and Hobart. That’s what a monoculture is. It’s everywhere, and it’s all the same. And it takes up alien cultures and digests them and shits them out in a homogeneous building-block shape that fits seamlessly into the vast blank wall of the monoculture.

This is the future. This is what we built. This is what we wanted. It must have been. Because we all had a fucking choice, didn’t we? It is only our money that allows commercial culture to
flower. If we didn’t want to live like this, we could have changed it any time, by not fucking paying for it.

So let’s celebrate by all going out and buying the same burger.”

FREETHOUGHT

The word “free thought” is now commonly used to express the result of the revolt of the mind against the pressure of external authority in any department of life or speculation. It will be sufficient now to state, that the cognate term, free thinking, was appropriated by Collins early in the last century to express Deism.

It differs from the modern term free thought, both in being restricted to religion, and in conveying the idea rather of the method than of its result, the freedom of the mode of inquiry rather than the character of the conclusions attained; but the same fundamental idea of independence and freedom from authority is implied in the modern term. Quoted from History of Free Thought in Reference to The Christian Religion by Adam Storey Farrar.

Freethought is a philosophical viewpoint that holds that opinions should be formed on the basis of science, logic, and reason, and should not be influenced by authority, tradition, or any other dogma. The cognitive application of freethought is known as freethinking, and practitioners of freethought are known as freethinkers.

History of the term "freethinker"

WE ARE THE FREETHINKERS OF NOW! 

As it was written in our manifest,
we choose to be free,

so we think free

& 

WE LIVE FREE

FREEPARTYCLOPEDIA

THE UNDERGROUND NEVER STOPS

.

.

.

Peoples' lives are based around different things, ours are based around music.

.

.

.

.
.
.

We are not rebelling against so much as living outside the system.

We do want freedom from static society.

But as guerrilla movement we do so by flying under the radar, at night, covered by darkness.

This approach doesn’t mean that we are silent.

.

Free music to anyone who wants it is what we give and we need nothing back but the space to roam.

Tribal beats have surrounded our planet since the beginning of time.

Technology is our addition to this continual rhythm.

.

We exist now and in the future.
